VOLUME II Newbold Morris # TELLS INSIDE STORY OF WHAT • HE LEARNED IN WASHINGTON On Feb. 1 Npwbold Morris of New York City was sworn in as a special assistant U. S. Attorney General to clean on corruption in Washington. last Thursday, after two months in office, he was fired by Attorney General J. Hov/ard McGrath. Three hours later, President Truman fired Mr. McGrath. Ia “What T learned in Washington," Mr. Morris, in an exclusive interview, tells his revealing story of vicious undercurrents, double talk, broken promises and leaderless government, which combine to prn tect officials front investigation. Mr. Morris’ story will be presented 9 in several installments, of which this is the first. Bv NFWBOLD MORRIS A« To ll to Staff Writer Murray Davis I found the federal government in Washington a won derland. I found there are oeople on the federal payroll who have worked only a half hour in six months. I found that. Attorney General McGrath resented the investigation of the federal government just as soon as he heard that I meant business. NEW BOLD MOKH.S S>dists Plan iuniotV Tonite l-Hol^, 'WaalneCotnmtih'- 6 .will be held tonight ock at the Divine Street Ohurch. It was announ ced this morning by the Rev. Joyce V. Early, ppstor. Mr. Early said the church will be dimly lit with Solomon’s famous painting of the head of Christ pro jected in the background, to pro vide a very impressive setting. Special music will be provided by the choir, led by Mrs. Thad Pope, and special organ music will be oplayed0 played by Mrs. J. Shepard Bryan, organist. .. . Buses Arranged For Roberts Campaign _ Thousands of people in the Dunn jAeectlon are expected to hear Rev. Wroral Roberts of Tulsa, Oklahoma, world-famed evangelist, when he opens a 16-day campaign at Fay etteville Friday night. The huge tent, second largest in the world, has already been erect ed a mile north of Fayetteville on Highway 301. The huge tent is so 'large that 30 miles of rope are used in it. Special buses will leave the Gos pel Tabernacle in Dunn each night made for those using the bus. No charge will be made Jor those James L. TELEPHONES: Sll? • 3118 - Slid I found out that those who sav I’m a political done are right. I could have gone down there and sat around, making just enough little noises to remind the import ant ones whv I was there and wound up with a federal Judgeship I’m going to continue being my kind of a political dope. PLENTY OF LIP SERVICE I found out that lip service is readilv obtained .in Washington. Promises are made easily and broken just as easily. Investiga tions will be boycotted in Wash ington just as long as Cabinet members feel free to ignore Presi dential orders. J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI files al ready are well loaded with dead bodies scandals that should be but probably never will be, brought out for grand jury action. This is not Mr. Hoover’s fault. He knows all about these bodies but the head of the FBI has no subpoena powers. He simply can gather facts. He delivers the facts and then they are buried. I found out that is the way things are done in Washington. I am emphasizing this because James P. McGranery, the !new At torney General, apparently doesn’t know wtmt I know that neither nor Edf?ar Hoover can do what fny missloh was supposed to ac eomriHfJw fcvea-H the v Were of a ’ mind to atwpipt it. However, thf new Attorney General already has said there, is nothing tgaopg'-ln the federal government. He Is a real whitewashes He doesn’t even pre tend to be a reformer.

Government Accused Os Stalling Truman Says He Wouldn't Accept Draft WASHINGTON IIP) Pres ident Truman said flatly to day that he will not accept a draft for renomination, but would not talk about anything on the Republican side of politics. He refused to say at a news con ference whether he has received notice of Gen. Dwight D. Eisen hower’s intention to resign as the NATO army commander or the actual resignation. Some reporters got the impres sion that he had the resignation, but was leaving the timing of the announcement up to the general. WON’T ATTEND CONVENTION Mr. Truman said he does not at present plan even to attend the Democratic convention in July be cause he sees no necessity for it. Asked whether he might express a preference for candidate prior to the convention, the President said he hoped this would not be neces sary. He added that he has a right to a preference just as any citizen does. He promised to campaign in be half of the Democratic nominee— whoever he may be—to the extent of his ability and to the extent de sired by the Demoratic national committee. The President, responding to re porters who sought additional background on his decision to fore go a re-election campaign, fa id he decided not to run again simply because he did not . want to.
