The Democrats, many Republicans feel, could score some points on this comparison during a campalgn Actually, the RFC was eslablish‘ed for the purpose of helping companies which could not obtain loans from private banks, and American Lith- ofold might have been in that cate- gory. However, it was not so much the RFC loan as the way American Lithofold / wangled huge pnnung“ orders from the government and paid government officials on the side to get those orders that made the public hold its nose. BLUE-CHIP BACKERS i ‘But what worries Republican Sen- ators about the Gabrielson loan is that Carthage Hydrocol appeared not to have needed a loan at all. Its owners include some gi the | most powerful companies in the | USA., with top credit falmgs. and the ability to borrow millions from the banks, insurance companies, Or | g lic. m:n:;‘::d they used palitics to get an RFC loan of $18,500,000. They retained Gabrielson, then a-rising figure in the Republican Party, just at a time when the Republicans | were nearing their peak power in| the 1946 election and appeared sure winners of the Presidency in 1948. Carthage Hydrocol was organized to make gasoline out of methane gas, which is the dry part of nat- ural gas and which never before | ‘has been used for gasoline. How-| ever, the experiment, after four years operation near Brownsville, ‘Texas, is reported unsuccessful and GOP leaders now fear a Democratic charge that the blue-chip backers of the concern are trying to let Uncle Sam share in their loss— through the RFC. Chief backer of Carthage Hydro- col is the Texas Company, one of | the largest oil companies in the world with gilt-edge credit. Another owner is United Gas, a holding com- pany coptrolled by Electric Bond and Share, one of the biggest power | companies in the world. | Another owner is Stone and Web- | ster, hitherto never known to have | been had up for eash. Other own- ers are the Niagara Share Company, | the Forest Oil Corp., La Gloria Corp., the Chicago Corp., Newmont Mining (A J. P. Morgan concern), ‘Western Natural Gas, and White, Wi and Co., the Boston bankers. ' Another backer is Henry L. Shat- 1 was due, | Hitherto, wanted to postpone pay- ment. It was last month, when the first $250,000 was due to be repaid the RFC, that Chairman Gabrielson approached Stuart Symington and asked for a postponement. Later, | When Symington demurred, the in- | stallment was paig, but this post- ponement move left open to a possible charge that his | blue-chip backers wanted to let Uncle Sam hold the bag. These are some of the background | factors which have caused GOP leaders to demand the ousting of genial Guy Gabkrielson. JET PLANE, CRISIS In fairness to the employees at General Electric's Lockland, Ohio, plant, it should be noted that the recent work stoppage there which delayed the production of jet en- gines was not due to a strike but to shortage of materials, which in turn was due to an ALCOA strike. The fact is that the UAW-CIO unit at the Lockland plant has a no-strike record for which they are to be con- gratulated. Meanwhile, however, the entire jet-engine production picture con- tinues bad, largely because of labor troubles at various factories making key parts. The strike at the Borg- Warner plants is one of them. What this means in Korea boils down briefly to this: Our F-86’s are the only jet plane we have that can match the MIG-15s. Yet today our F-86's are outnumbered five to one by the MIG's—due to lack of jet-plane production. Meanwhile, we are losing more jets in Korea than we are producing. While there is usually something to be said on both sides in labor disputes, and while corporations have netted tremendous profits— as this column has frequently re- ported—nevertheless neither labor's case nor management’s case is im- portant enough to hold up jet pro- duction at this critical time. Important development at ’ Pen- tagon—Generals Ridgway and Van Fleet have now come around to the Air Force view in the bitter con= troversy over tactical -air support. the army has wanted most air force planes operating on close-up tactical support of troops. But now the two top army com- manders in Korea have told General Bradley that strategic bombing has crippled the Communists and pre- vented them from mounting a fall offensive. As a result General Van | Fleet cut in half the number of planes to be called for tactical sup- port of ground troops.n other words, both Ridgway and Van Fleet believe it's more important to bomb enemy bases and supply lines.
