HURLE OIL FE One State Department headache which new Secretary Jimmy Byrnes is inheriting is letter addressed | to Under Secretary Joe Grew from' forthright Senator Langer of North| Jakota which so far has not been answered. ng asked Grew about the | circumstances under which Patrick J. Hurley, U. S. Ambassador to s ved $75,000 from the iclair Oil Company during 1945,' and $108/ 000 from Sinclair in 1942, while in U. S. Army uniform. { ,\;vn.m, Langer also asked how many times Ambassador Hurley has visited the oil-rich countries of the Near East on his way to China, an area in which U. S. oil companies have a big stake. i The nator also asked whether Hurley, while in the employ of the U. 5. Government, proposed a sys- tem whereby the United States would send economic and political advisers to help govern the oil areas of the Near East—a move which undoubtedly would aid U. S. ol companies, including Sinclair. It is decidedly unusual for a U. S. ambassador to receive money, from a private oil company while engaged in diplomatic duties, and Senator Langer has asked to have all the facts. 7 CHICEEN RAC! T INCREASES st before Congressman Clinton on became Secretary of Ag- , two FBI investigators brought his Food Committee a startling report on the black mar- ket in chickens. It showed that New York hospitals are able to get only a driblet of poultry, while| tons of it go to the black market Investigators also reported that the Jocal War Food Administration seemed to play into the hands of the black marketeers in the Dela- ware-Maryland-Virginia area “All the persons involved in the chicken business, from grower to dealer, in that area are chiselers,” the Investigators quoted Clifford Shedd, WFA representative at Dover, Del, as saying. “As our investigation progressed,” | be considered by the black mar- | months, | permitted ‘the FBI continued, “we learned that this statement apparently is| true. The black market business| is so lucrative,” investigators re-; ported to Anderson, “that payment of fines in some cases has come to| keteers as merely a license to fur- ther violate the law.” Most important in abolishing the black market, the FBI reported, is; the need for severe jail sentences. Black market convictions usually carry only suspensions or small fines, which do not worry the op- erator. Furthermore, OPA enforce- ment efforts are ineffective because of the small OPA staff and the failure of the public to gor to OPA | about violations. The investigators especially con- centrated on the Delmarva (Dela- ware: one of the chief poultry growing areas of the U.S.A. Here the Army has ordered poultry dealers to set aside a certain amount of chickens for military consumption. But the War Food Administra- tion office in Dover, Del, accord- ing to the report submitied to An- derson, follows the amazing pro- cedure of permitting black market operators to release poultry. Fol- lowing this, War Food turns around and calls upon other dealers in the same area to provide chickens for the Army's needs. The two Justice Department in- vestigators discovered a very inter- esting fact. When dealers tele- phoned Clifford Shedd, WFA rep- resentative in Dover, to get per- mission to release poultry for the civilian market, they were told: “Call Dover 3412.” It so happens that Dover 3412 is the telephone number of Norman Pratt. And, according to the in- vestigators’ report, Pratt is the leader of a group of poultrymen who ship to the black markets of Newark, New York and Philadel- phia. Normally, New York hospitals consume 30,000 pounds of chicken a week. However, they have not been able to get more than 10,000 pounds a week for the past two even though they have the benefit of Government prior- ities. During the month of May, the Dover, Del, War Food office 119 releases averaging 10,000 pounds each to New York— totaling about 119,000 pounds of chicken, i However, the significant fact is| that only 62 of these shipments! actually passed through New York's| live poultry market. Most of them went through Newark, where the 1] | will not mean much more poultry | Maryland-Virginia) peninsula, |~ live poultry inspection is less strict. | Apparently, the black market bo; didn't want New York inspectors to discover where all the chickens were going. 7 Since then, WFA has announced that it has reduced the Army “set aside” in the Delmarva area from 100 to 70 per cent. However, this for hospitals, because War Food | failed to issue a simultaneous di-, rective to dealers that they must channel poultry to hospitals—which | pay ceiling prices and no more.
