However, John Murphy, controller of. the For eign Operations Administration, testified the Austrian government made a full refund of the cost of the corn when the situa tion was disclosed.

a a THE STORY was told before a House government operations subcommittee after what Chair man Brownson (R-Ind) des cribed as oversight reversal of a State Department ruling that no testimony about it should be given in public. Early in 1953 arrangements were made to supply Austria with six cargoes of corn, val ued st $34 million, to be paid for ultimately by the U.S. gov ernment but purchased through private channels. a THE CONTROLLER in FOA's Vienna office in time was ad vised of the arrival in Austria of the first valued at $600,000. Further arrival reports were not forthcoming.

Murphy said it developed that "the corn in question was turned over to Swiss companies, presumably under arrangements that it would be replaced later, or if corn of comparable quality was not then available, repay ment would be made in dollars." At the time June, 1953 corn could be. expected to be at or near Its seasonal high price and the transaction offered opportunities for th Austrian and Swiss handlers to make specu lative profits.
