EDITORIALS rWl lVWAy " y " " MEDALS FOR CONFEDERATE VETERANS President Eisenhowrer recently signed a bill, which authorizes the awarding of special medals to the living veterans of the War Between the States. This is one of the few officialre coknitions of Confed erate veterans approved by the Congress. It wiir.be, remembered that the Con gress has steadfastly refused, over the years, to provide pensions for Confederate veterans, although pensions were provided for veterans of the Union armies. This has always been considered an obvious injus tice, even though it could rightly be claimed that Confederate veterans had fought against the Government of the United States. Nevertheless, when their home states were taken back into the Un ion and were providing a major source of the Union's revenue, there was no justifi cation for not allocating money for pen sions to all veterans of the War Between the States. Therefore, we are glad to see that President Eisenhower has signed a bill to award special medals to all the surviving veterans of the War Between the States. All three are ex-Confederate soldiers and it is estimated the medals will be worth several thousand dollars. Albert wroolson, of Duluth, Minn., only Union vet eran left, died last week. The three ex-Confederate veterans are William A. Lundy, of Laurel Hill, Florida; John Sail ing of Slant, Virginia, and Walter Williams of Franklin, Texas. All of the three are more than 100 years old. ic ' ic STUDEBAKER-PACKARD BALED OUT he easing of the situation at Stude-baker-Packard is of national interest, and of interest to the Eisenhower administra tion, since the failure of this company would have had economic repercussions and would have been a bad omen for the Republican Administration. Not only would it have put thousands of people out of wrork, but it would have given the impression that the Adminis tration was guilty of pursuing policies,part ly as a result of the influence of Defense Department Secretary Charles E. Wilson, which have favored very big business. Studebaker-Packard, seeking to remain in a competative position, has come out with a number of inovations in both its sport car and luxury car field. The an nouncement by Curtis-Wright means that these models will be further improved and that Studebaker-Packard will likely be around for many years to come The Curtis-Wright Corporation announ ced on August 5th an agreement 'hich would solve the financial difficulties en countered recently by Studebaker-Packard. Daimler-Benz, A. G., West German au tomobile manufacturer, is also involved' in the financial arrangement, although the nature of this involvement is obscure. The announcement probably means there is no danger that Studebaker-Packard will go on the rocks in the next few years, which many owners of these fine motor cars in this area feared for a time. The arrangement means that Curtis Wright will pay Studebaker-Packard a bout $35,0000,000 for certain facilities THOUGHT FOR TODAY When it is evening, ye say, it zvill be fair, weather, for the sky is red. And in the morn ing, it zvill be foul zveathcr today, for the sky is red and lowering. New Testament The Platlsmouth Journal .

DREW PEARSON SAYS: REPUBLICANS MANAGED TO SUPPRESS DYNAMITE-LADEN DI ARY ON NICARO NICKEL PLANT; LEN HALL . WANTED TO AWARD CONTRACT ON BASIS OF POLL ' TICS; FREDERICK SNA ME COM PANY BELATEDLY CONTRIBUT $1,500 TO GOP. WASHINGTON With the Democrats busy preparing to -nominate their man for president, Republicans are chuckling pri vately over the way they have outsmarted the Dems on one of the most dynamite laden questions inside the government. This is the award of a contract for build . ing an expansion to the government's niek l eL plant at Nicaro, Cuba, and a 'secret -diary showing the manner in which Chair man Len Hall, master mogual of the Re , publican party, pulled wires in favor of , his pet company. Reason, the Republicans are : smiling is because they. have, managed to .suppress this diary. Attorney General Brownell has been sitting on it to keep it out of Demo -XMV -fc 5 . . V 1 . "Don't be silly, dear! Beers are extinct in these mountains." cratic hands. Even Eisenhower has been brought into the pic ture and has concurred that the diary must be. suppressed. Democratic congressman made frantic demands for the diary. But all they got were smooth smiles from Attorney General Brownell. Though House of Represent atives Democrats dropped the ball, Senator McClellan's gov ernment operations committee has now picked it up and may go furthur. Meanwhile, other copies of the diary, exist, and this writer has seen them. ' The. entries show ' that Chair man Hall demanded that his friends, the Raymond Concrete Pile Company of New York, get the engineering contract for the very important and lucrative construction job in Cuba. They also show that Hall was against the Fredrick Snare Corp., be cause Snare had not contributed sufficiently to the Republican Party. Chairman Hall, when quest ioned, called this a dammed lie." Snare Executive Contributes The Snare Company had built the first government plant in Cuba, had a base in Cuba, and was considered qualified to build an extension to the old plant. Randall Cremer, executive vice-president of the Snare Com pany, who kept the diary, went to see Chairman Hall and argued with him about the Republican background of his firm. He also got Harold Talbott, then secre tary of the Air Force, to talk to Hall to convince him that the Snare company was a good Republican firm. Someone in Republican ranks even checked the donations of the Snare firm and found that two or three of its executives had contributed $100 each to the GOP in 1952. which the Re publicans regarded as mere chicken feed. Finally Cremer came in with a sizaoie $i,ouu comriouuon 10 the Republican Party in 1954. This would appear to be against the law, since no one with a federal contract or who is ne gotiating for a federal contract can contriDute to a pomicai party. It was between May, and July, 1954, that Chairman Hall showed his interest in the Frederick Snare political contributions. The contract was finally award ed in August, 1954. Significantly, Cremer's campaign contribution showed up in Republican cam paign records for the 1954 fall campaign. His $1,500 was given to the National Republican Congress ional Committee of which Con gressman Dick Simpson of Penn slyvania is chairman. Signifi cantly. Dick Simpson accom panied Cremer on one of his visits to Chairman Hall to con vince him that the Snare Com pany was a good Republican firm. Significant Diary Entry Here is one important entry in the secret Cremer diary which the Justice Department has suppressed and the Demo crats are trying to get their hands on. It is dated June 15, 1954, just two. months before the Big Cuban contract was let. "Call from Richard Simpson," reads the entry in the Cremer diary. 'Unfavorable news from Hall has the impression some of references we had given had failed to come through: 1 Tal bott (secretary of air force), who vouched for what we had said about the original award of Nicaro to us, but has since en dorsed Raymond (Concrete Pile) and greatly weakened our case; 2 Bernard Shanley (of the White House staff), who has simply walked out; 3 has receiv ed' no corroboration from the finance chairmen in New York and New Jersey." The latter referred to the Re publican finance chairmen in New York and New Jersey. The latter referred to the Re publican finance chairmen in NEW Jersey and New York, who were supposed to verify Cremer's contention that Snare Corporation officials had con tributed to the GOP in the past. Cremer pointed out on another occasion that the Snare Com pany had received contracts from the Democrats in the past with no questions asked about political affiliations. "It seems strange that it should be mentioned now with our. own party in; control," he said. Hall Phoned Repeatedly There is evidence that Chair man Hall telephoned repeatedly to Edward Mansure, then head of the General Services Admin istration, which has charge of all government building con tracts. Usually Hall phoned Man- sure personally, though once Val Washington of the GOP National Committee phoned with a message from Hall. In these conversations, Hall kent insisting: that contracts should go to. Republican firms generally, and that the Nicaro contract should go to Raymond Concrete Pile specifically. When Mansure. first mention ed Fredrick Snare, Hall explod ed. He claimed Fredrick Snare was a Democratic firm. He based this on the fact that Snare had been awarded the original, construction contract under a Democratic adminis tration. During Cremer's talks with Hall. Hall demanded evidence of Snare's loyalty to the Re publican Party, insisted that in surance and bonding fees go to a Republican firm, and hint ed that a Republican contri bution would be most welcome After these talks and after Cremer made it clear that he would make a campaign con tribution, Hall withdrew his ob jection to letting Fredrick Snare get one-half the Nicaro contract but still insisted that Raymond Concrete Pile get the other half. More on this hot situation inside the GOP shortly. lowan Billed For Lacking Proper Papers An Iowa man apparently does not like to carry "bulky papers" about on him. Dale G.
