Governors Ask Showdown Conference
With Ike on Big Highway Program
A
Council Meeting Notes
It was announced at the meet
ing of the City Council on Monday
evening that the new replace
ments for damaged playfield
equipment have arrived and have
been installed. Swings, giant
strides, slide and teeter-totters are
now in use day and night. The
I merry-ro-round is still under re
pair and there is some doubt if
it can be reconditioned.
George Hite, who attended the
meeting, gave suggestions on side
walk repairs and curbing of traf
fic violations.
The need for an additional
night patrolman was discussed so
that there would be someone on
duty until 8 in the morning in
stead of the present 3 a.m. limit.
This additonal service would not
only be for policing but be on the
alert for night fires.
The purchase of 400 feet of new
two and a half inch fire hose
and nozzles and supplies was
recommended by Councilman
Gustafson, inasmuch as the pres
ent hose has been in use for 20
years.
The City Clerk was instructed
by the Mayor to write letters of
appreciation to the Beta Sigma
Phi sorority and to the Junior
Police for their part in the Fourth
of July celebration.
Ask Congress Rewrite
‘Conflict of Interest’ Laws
WASHINGTON, UP)—Atty. Gen.
Brownell today asked that Con
gress bar former federal employes
from eve-r handling for private in
terests any government matter
with which they were associated
while in government.
His proposal, sent to Vice Presi
dent Nixon and House Speaker
Martin would involve a rewriting
of the “conflict of interest” laws.
Brownell described the existing
statutes as inadequate. He sug
gested that the present penalty
for “swtiching sides” after leav
ing federal service be increased
from one year in prison or $10,000
fine to two years or $10,000 fine.
The present laws forbid such
“switching” for a two year period
after a government employe has
left government service. The stat
utes are so written as to appear
to apply principally if not solely
to attorneys.
BOLTON LANDING, N.Y., UPI—
Gov. John S. Fine of Pennsyl
vania proposed and Gov. Goodwin
J. Knight of California endorsed
Tuesday a plan for a showdown
conference of governors with
President Eisenhower on a pro
jected 50-billion-dollar highway
program.
In a point-by-point criticism of
an Eisenhower proposal laid be
fore the 46 annual governors con
ference here by Vice President
Nixon, Fine told his colleagues:
“We want the federal govern
ment to get out of the gasoline
and fuel oil tax field once and for
all and now is the time to do it
before we embark on any large
scale highway program such as
the President has suggested.”
Eisenhower proposed that the
federal government and states co
operate to build a system of roads
aimed at providing transportation
for an expected 200 million popu
lation by 1970.
The President’s proposal was
interpreted by Fine, a Republican
supporter of the administration,
as placing a “cloud” on the states’
control of road building activities
and was involving continued fed
eral aid which a majority of the
governors have opposed.
Fine said he thinks the states
should “take advantage of the
President’s offer” only after a
conference of the governors in
Washington this fall where “we
can determine once and for all
what is meant by it.”
Gov. Knight, also a Republican,
supported the conference proposal
—as long as the meeting is held
after the Nbvember elections in
which he is running.
But the Californian told his
colleagues that they are going to
have to figure out how the states
can take the gasoline tax away
from the federal government and
still build a system of interstate
roads such as the President sug
gested.

Kadow Hired by
U.S. Tin While Still
In Interior Dept.
WASHINGTON, WU-A govern
ment auditor testified Tuesday
that Kenneth Kadow, while assis
tant to former Secretary of the
Interior Oscar Chapman, was
hired secretly by the United States
Tin Corp. two months before the
Alaska firm obtained a govern
ment-guaranteed loan.
Clifford Smith, auditor for the
General Services Administration
(GSAl in San Francisco, told the
Senate-House Committee on De
fense Production that he had
learned this from a study of the
company’s records.
The Congressional group is look
ing into the government's lending
of three million dollars to a com
pany which has produced virtual
ly no tin.
With Smith’s testimony, Rep.
Gamble (R-NY) said: “Let’s fore
close this thing and get what gov
ernment money out of it we can.
That would cost money, but it
will cost more money if this fool
ishness goes on.”
Smith said he found in the rec
ords of U.S. Tin’s board of direc
tors the acceptance in December,
1950 of “an employment contract”
with Kadow, to be effective April
5, 1951. A stockholder's meeting
approved the action in January,
1951, Smith said.
Kadow was then responsible to
Chapman, cabinet officer under
President Truman, for checking
all Interior Department programs
affecting Alaskan development.
In earlier testimony, Kadow
had been described as “lobbying”
for approval of the firm's first
government guaranteed bank loan
of $375,000.
