Army Counselor Testifies
Roy Cohn “Abused” Him
WASHINGTON, UP) — Army
counselor John B. Adams testi
fied today he took more “abuse”
from Rcry M. Cohn than anyone
in his experience as a Pentagon
official in connection with efforts
by Cohn to win special treatment
for Pvt. G. 'David Schine.
Adams was on the witness stand
for all the morning session of the
15th day of Senate subcommittee
hearings into the bristling dispute
between military officials on the
one hand and Sen. McCarthy and
his aides on the other.
Adams recounted a visit by Mc
Carthy and Cohn and military of
ficials to the Army radar labora

Oct. 20, when Cohn was excluded
from several secret installations.
He said Cohn was “extremely

place but they keep me out—I’ve
got security clearance to go any
place in the world.”

Who gets the money
Standard takes in?
Goods and services —
from paper clips to pro
fessional services—cost
us $324,743,000. It was
spent with thousands of
firms, large and small.
. awawxoooo •TOWA\v.v»»:.,.y.v.v.v»..
Crude oil was a big item.
To supplement our own
production we bought
$135,600,000 worth—an
important sum to crude
oil producers.
Wear and tear, depreci
ation and upkeep cost
$157,834,000. Part of it
will replace worn-out fa
cilities, but millions went
to workmen, technicians.
New construction, such
as refinery facilities, to
make more and better
products, cost $145,
000,000. This helped
meet builders’ payrolls.

Exploration to replace
oil our customers use is
a vital operation. Our
stepped-up search for
new oil reserves cost
$79,000,000 in 1953.
Employees' wages for
time worked took $163,
947,000 of our income.
Another $43,000,000
went for employee bene
fits for Standard Oilers.
Taxes paid by Standard
to U. S., states, coun
ties and cities amounted
to $106,300,000—enough
to buy plenty of fire
trucks, schools, bridges.
112,000 shareholders'
profits came from what
was left. They received
about on each
dollar’s worth of stock.
Total: $86,020,000.
Your picture belongs here, too. Because most of the
$1,156,757,000 Standard Oil Company of California
took in last year ended up with you—the public.
Whether one of the hundreds of millions of dollars
worth of checks Standard wrote last year was sent
to you, or spent with you, or helped make possible
better gasoline and oil for your car, you and practi
cally everyone else in the West benefited. Thousands
of merchants and professional people in hundreds of
towns profited from the pay checks Standard Oilers
spent. Our tax payments helped finance schools for
your children, parks for vacationers, and bridges for
motorists. Carpenters, steelmen, lumberjacks bene
fited from the facilities we built and the maintenance
work we did. It all fits together: 1953 was a good
year for Standard because so many of you thought
our products well made and worth buying. And by
making it a good year for us, you made it a good
year for many others.
