BLYTHEVILLE (ARK.) COURIER NEWS PAGE FIVE House Probe of Tax-Exempt Foundations Is a Hot Potato By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (AP) The House investigation of tax-exempt foundations isn't likely to take the television play away from the Senate hearings on the McCarthy-Army row but it's a hot potato all by itself. Prime mover in this investigation is Rep. B. Carroll Reece (R-Tenn). who was ONO Robert A.

scam- paign for the Republican presidential nomination in 1952. One of the Democrats on Recce's committee, Rep. Wayne L. Hays of Ohio, was against this investigation before it started and has been critical ever since. AKhough Reece said in a couple of speeches in 1953 that the majority of foundations the biggest are Ford and Rockefeller are honestly run, he said he is suspicious of some of them.

Among the suspects, he said, "lies the story of communism and socialism are financed in the United States." He made no distinction between them. He said communism is socialism's brand name. Slighted He complained too many foundation grants in education were for the ''propagation of the so-called liberal viewpoint" or openly com- munisitc viewpoints while the conservative view was being overlooked. Therein lay the "nubbin" of Reece's desire for the investigation, said Rep. Jacob Javits (R- Lib-NY).

Last July 27 Reece pleaded with the House to set up a special committee to look into foundations. It did. Reece Was made chairman. His committee has three Republicans and two Democrats. Between last July and mid-May, when public hearings started, Reece's staff gathered material for the inquiry.

In his July speech Reece cocked a critical eye on the Ford Foundation, set up" by the heirs of Henry Ford. He was especially incensed that it had granted 15 million dollars for a study of civil liberties and the way congressional committees conduct investigations. This money was to be handled by an organization called the Fund for the Republic. A few days after City Quits Golf Business For Racial Reason ST. PETERSBURG.

Ma. This city is getting out of the golfing business. City Council decided to do this after a long study of a petition from Negroes for use of the course. Council action yesterday to terminate the lease on Pasadena golf course and turn the 18-hole course back to its private owners was unanimous. In April a group Oi Negroes sough permission to play on the course.

A special committee was named to study the petition. Last week the committee heard predictions from its members and city officials that white players would stop using the course if it were opened to Negroes. The committee meeting was after the U. S. Supreme Court ordered the city of Houston.

to open its municipal golf course to Negroes on a segregated basis. Fireman Dies in Crash With Fire Engine PHILADELPHIA A young volunteer fireman, racing by auto to the firehouse in answer to an alarm, was killed last night when his car collided head-on with the fire engine. One fireman was injured and four suffered bruises. The victim was Everett Russell, 28, of Marshallton, four miles west of'west Chester. Reece attacked the fund.

Rep. Clifford P. Case (R-NJ) resigned from Congress to be its president. Recently Case resigned from the fund to run for the Senate in New Jersey. He is being succeeded by Robert M.

Hutchins, former chan- celor of the University of Chicaog. Hutchins several years ago became associate director of the Ford Foundation. Criticizes Hutchins Reece, apparently, doesn't like Hutchins any more than he likes the Fund for the Republic. Under Hutchins. ReecB said, the University of Chicago set a record fiv times for being investigated for "immoral or subversive activities." The major part of Reece's July speech was concentrated on Ford Foundation, of which the he said: "Here is the last of the great American industrial fortunes, amassed in a competitive free marketplace in the last 50 years, being used to undermine and subvert our institutions." Hays came to the defense of the Ford Foundation for granting money for study of civil liberties and congressiona' investigations.

He said he thought any individual or foundation had a right to make such a study. Norman Dodd, the Reece committee's research director, said on May 11 special attention should be paid to the Ford Foundation in this inquiry. Hays demanded a probe of Facts Forum Foundation, Created by.H. L. Hunt, wealthy Texas oil man and supporter of Sen.

McCarthy (R-Wis). Facts Forum supports a series of radio and TV discussion programs which Hunt says he promotes as impartial debates to arouse public interest in current problems. Critics have attacked them as a political propaganda machine giving major weight to conservatism and isolationism. Gov.
