VOLUME II
Smith To Head
Important
Probe
WASHINGTON Sena
tor Willis Smith (D-NC) said
i • in Washington today that
his, selection as chairman of
a top-level investigating
subcommittee “will not re
sult in the government’s
muring a vast number of new
employees.”
Some committees need scores of
employees. But Smith said, “We'U
use the government lawyers and
clerical Workers already working for
the government until such time as
we see a real need for hiring any
- body else.”
TO USE ECONOMY
Smith has been named chairman
" of a subcommittee to probe the
derations of the Justice Depart
ment’s Office of Alien Property. The
Benate Judiciary committee, which
voted unanimously for the investi
gation. recommended an apnroprla
tion of 3100,000 to cover the cost j
of the probe which will run over ■
a period of 12 motthg.
Smith said, however, that he j
I hoped an exhaustive investigation *
| can be made at What he called "a'
i fraction of that amount of money.”
The Office of Alien Property has
Reen under fire foe several months
Worn Senator Wiley (R-Wiaconsln)
who charges that the taxpayers
and the stockholders of corpora
tions seized by the government
during wartime have lost millions
of dollars because of questionable <
» practices within the ofllfce.
J- The name of Henry Grunewald.
!. a one-time special assistant to the
1 Alien Property custodian, probably
<1 will be linked to this investigation.
