Franey said FBI agents told him late In 1945 that they had ample information to arrest Andrei Sche-vchenko. the alleged agent, but the State Department had ordered them to "hold off for a while. Franex did not say who Ift the State Department was responsible for the order.

He said Schevchenko must have learned he was being watched and left the 'country. Co-operated by Request Franey said he and his wife "co-operated' with the Russian agent at the request of the FBI after Schevchenko came to Mrs. Franey, Bell aircraft employe, with a request for secret Information. i Franey said on one occasion he told FBI agent "Buzz Roberts that he and his wife were "sick" and of acting as go-betweens and wanted to quit. Franey said he asked why they did not arrest Schevchenko.

The agent replied that the FBI wanted to, "but our hands are testimony followed that of his wife, Leona, Bell Aircraft librarian, who said she met Schevchenko In October, -1942, af ter he came to this country to buy American fighting planet. Mrs. Franey told the committee how the met Schevchenko In October, 1942.1 He was In this country to purchase Bell Alrcobrae American fighting plane for his government; Mrs. Franey was accompanied by her husband, Joseph J. Franey, to the witness stand.

In a calm voice she said that Schevchenko first: asked for text books but later began to establish a per sonal relationship. "He began bringing little pre sents boxes of candy and theater tickets," she said. "He asked us to go out to dinner 'and said he wanted to meet my husband. Asked for More Gradually, she said, he started painting the beauty of life In the Soviet Union' and then asked for classified material out of the Bell Aircraft library. He first desired confidential reports on jet-pro-, pulsion, she said.

About that time, she said, the FBI, "which obviously had him under surveillance, contacted her. From ther on, she said, her rela tionship with Schevchenko took place under FBI supervision. She said that Schevchenko had an amazing knowledge of materials upon which American aircraft engineers were working. "He asked me for data on swept back wings, almost before our own engineers began doing work on them," she said. Schevchenko frequently knew the confidential code numbers of reports issued by the National Ad visory Committee for Aeronautics from two weeks to two month before she received the reports In her capacity as librarian.

Schevchenko also asked her husband for confidential reports on the Hooker Electro-Chemical Niagara Fall, at which he was employed, she said.

Watson of rural DeKaib was one of the witnesses who spoke before the state Senate Municipalities Committee Uit week and after hit powerful argu ment against S. B. the measure that would authorize cities, villages and unincorporated towns to license or tax for revenue with out limit, the committee postpon ed consideration for one week. Mr. Watson spoke In his capaci ty as president of the DeKaib County Taxpayers' Association.

He is also president of the Midwest Cattle Feeders' Association, and a gentleman who has done a fine service for the taxpayers of this community In many Instances. His keen analysis of the vicious legislation, which Is before the Senate committee and is "already on second reading in the lower House in the shape of House Bill 949, Identical with the Senate measure, riddled the proposed act. He said: Explains IBs Interest rm not a tax expert. I'm a farmer who pays taxes, and I don't live within a city, village or Incorporated town. Consequently you may wonder why Tm here, since this Senate Bill 565 authorizing taxes unlimited can't possibly directly affect me.

This bill would require a great deal of work on the part of the merchants who would be required to pay the licenses. In some cities there might be 100 or more license applications to file, and they would not necessarily all fall due on jthe same date. Consequently, this would create a tremendous amount of clerical work to keep the applications and necessary records In shape. If one of the dates for license renewal were overlooked, a penalty would be Im posed. Thus, it can be readily seen that all this and the license fees too would Increase the expenses of the retailers.

-Naturally, they could not absorb such increased expenses and stay In business. As a result. the expenses caused by such a bill as Senate Bill 565 would be added to the "cost of doing business' and passed on to the consumer. I'm a consumer. Consequently, I'm very much interested.
