Records Support Gambling Probe
Senate crime investigators said President Truman offered to make income tax returns of suspected gamblers and racketeers available to the committee. Kefauver reported Truman promised full executive cooperation and said records to be released include tax records with details to be worked out by Treasury officials and the committee counsel. Tobey and other senators said Truman backed the inquiry 100 percent and that Miami hearings showed city cooperation. The panel has already uncovered a gambling link between Florida and California.

Acheson Report On Talks Leaves Republicans Cold
Secretary of State Acheson’s question and answer session with Congress pleased Democrats but left Republicans cold. Lucas said the appearance helped bond state department and Congress, while Wherry said it changed nothing. Judd and Rankin pressed questions on U.N. policy and Chinese Communists, and Acheson defended not vetoing admission but letting majority decide. He is to propose a $1.225 billion second year arms program to aid Western Europe rearmament against communism.

Lawyer Studies Lee Remington Ouster Charges
Secretary of Commerce Sawyer reviewed ouster charges against Michael E. Lee and William W. Remington, $10,000-a-year OTT aides. Loyalty questions were raised in Congress, but Sawyer said the resign-or-be-fired order rested on administrative grounds, not loyalty. Lee, head of the Far Eastern OTT branch, remained at his desk. Remington, a foreign trade economist, was in New York for a grand jury appearance. Letters delivering the charges and deadlines for reply would initiate dismissal steps, with avenues for appeal including a department board and, for Remington, the civil service commission.

Powers to Shift Funds Extend Arms Aid, Truman Urges
President Truman asked Congress for 1.2225 billion dollars to extend the arms aid program for a second year and grant authority to shift funds to counter Soviet probing.
