They are probably the most carefully'kept of any record of the hectic and vitally important years of the Roosevelt administration. Morgenthau noted in great detail everything he did during the years he was secretary of the he held that post longer than any other man in history.

The' diary detail is even more voluminous than that of the late Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes. The diaries are locked in the Roosevelt Library in Hyde Park and are not open to 'public examination. However, Morgenthau, when questioned, by the Jenner Committee about Harry Dexter White, who was accused by Attorney General Brownell of being a Russian spy, offered to let the Jenner Committee examine his diaries. Morgen'uhau said he knew of no evidence that White was 'a spy during his association at the treasury, and he offered to let the Jenner Committee examine any part of his records. Simultaneously, Senator Knowland's office has been pushing the State Department to publish all diplomatic documents dealing with the Yalta Conference, in the hope that some clue regarding the operations of Alger Hiss might be forthcoming.

The State Department, though under a Republican administration, so far has refused to fix a publication date Peter Pan, Surprise Bras, Exclusive at GEI DRESS SHOP The Store of Fashion Since -193? 625 Washington St. prior to election, despite an urgent request by Knowland's floor assistant, Bill Reed. MOKGENTHAU PUSHED LOAN Scrutiny of the Morgenthau diaries to date has chiefly revealed what the newspapers published at that that Henry Morgenthau was zealously anxious to keep Russia -as a friendly ally and pushed a $10,000,000,000 peacetime loan to Russia toward the closing days of the war in order to win Russian confidence. As already well publicized, Mor- genthau favored stripping Germany of its industrial war potential and keeping it as an agricultural state. Jonathan Mitchell, who is studying the Morgenthau diaries, apparently considered it his job to report also on the political views of Herman Kahn, archivist for the Roosevelt library.

For he wrote the Jenner committee: "Kahn is an egg-head. He held himself in very well until Muskie's election (referring to the election of the new Democratic, governor of Maine). Next day, he sidled up to Jim and me and delivered himself of a sudden, sneering attack on Fulton Lewis, Jr." "Jim" referred to above is Jim member of the Jenner committee staff who is assisting in probing the Morgenthau diary. NEWSPAPER PALS Mitchell, when questioned by this writer about his research, was most loath to talk. Asked when his report would be published, Mitchell ducked.

"You and I were reporters together going; back a long way," he said, doubtless referring, to the fact that he had been a reporter on the qld New York World. Mitchell also served as Washington correspondent for the New Republic for many years. "If I can help you out as one reporter to another I'll be glad to do so." "Then who is with you on the Morgenthau diaries?" Mitchell was asked. "Any statement on that will have to come out of Washington." "How long have you been with the Jenner committee?" "No comment." "You realize that when anyone is put on the federal payroll it CIS "Spirit of Youth" BOYS'SUITS 8 to 12 13 to 18 $19-95 up Friedman's Men's Shop 617 Wasliington St. Plane Burns After Hitting Killed Woman Who Got Boys Wine Sent To Workhouse Only the metal framework remains of the Piper Cub in which James Bard of Germany Valley was killed yesterday afternoon.

"What is your salary?" "No comment." "You realize that when the taxpayers pay a man's salary, that also must be a matter of public record," Mitchell was reminded. "Yes." "And you still don't want to comment?" "No comment." "You say you want to be helpful as one reporter to another, and yet you don't even want to answer purely factual questions which obviously must be a matter of public record?" Mr. Mitchell's voice trailed off.

Both Bboher' and Bard took flying lessons at the same time from Lester Gashaw, manager of the Mount Union Airport. Bard, an employe of the Pennsylvania Electric Company, was an orphan and had made his permanent home with Mr. and Mrs.

Oliver Grove of Germany Valley, Mount Union, R. since being discharged from the U. S. Navy in 1946. He was a lineman with Penelec's Construction Department working out of Altoona, but spent his week-ends at the Grove home.

Sunday's crash happened at 3:40 o'clock, "about two minutes after B'ard took off in the Cub. Bard took off from the west, into the wind. He made a left turn after being airborne and was coming back over the field from the south at the time of the accident. One eye-witness said the Cub was about 300 feet in the air when it dropped suddenly and hit the 35-foot pole carrying the electric service (110-voltV lines. The right wing of the plane coltopsed immediately as the pole hit it near the fuselage.

The wheels of the small plane snapped the power lines at the same instant. Hooper and Booher said that the plane became a mass of flames immediately. By the time it plunged to the grounti about 100 feet away the entire fuselage and most of the two wings were burning fiercely. The pole was snapped off at the ground level and carried forward with the plane so that part of it wasi under the wreckage. Bard had the throttle wide open at the time of the crack-up.

As the plane dropped downward from 300 feet the wheels hit the top branches of a tree that extended higher than the pole, Hooper stated. The eye-witnesses said there was no fire prior to the time the plane struck the pole. This close-up view shows the motor and front portion of the Pipei Cub in which James Bard, 26, of Union, R. was killed yesterday. The plane caught fire after hitting a 35-foot utility pole.

Before the takeoff, Bard had filled the plane's 12-gallon gas tank which was located at the front of the craft. It is believed the gas tank exploded and sprayed the burning liquid over the entire plane. Hooper, Booher and Drake rushed to the burning wreckage and John Booher was summoned from his home which is located a short distance away. Both the Mount Union Fire Company and the Mount Union ambulance were summoned by members of the Booher family, a on orders from Hooper. Seconds after the plane crashed to the ground the four men were trying valiantly to get Bard from the cockpit of the crushed and burning plane.

Bard was held fast and kept calling for help as the flames started to burn his hair and clothing. With almost superhuman strength and at the urging of his buddies, he wiggled free and i pushed himself 10 feet along the edge of the burning wing. Ralph i Booher used a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher to hold back the fire while Bard inched his way from the plane. As Bard started to weaken and the flames began to gain headway. Booher went into the inferno and pulled Bard to a point where the others grabbed him by the shoulders and hauled him free of the fire.

Bard's clothing- was burned completely from his body. He never lost consciousness. The fabric-covered plane went up in smoke in matter of minutes. It is a complete loss, only the metal framework remaining. The aircraft, a 1941 model, was owned by the Mount Union Aviation Corporation.

It was at about S5QO. Airport Manager Gashaw was in the air at the time in a Piper J-5. Seeing the smoke from the burning plane, he flew over the wreckage and landed immediately at the field.
