(Staff Photo) Benton's Refusal To Allow Recorder Disrupts Hearing WASHINGTON, May 5 Wit nesses before a House inquiry com mittee testuiea today former Attorney General J. Howard McGrath and Newbold Morris were notified that Morris' law firm was in hot Crater with the Justice Department before McGrath appointed Morris as federal clean-up chief. Morris has sworn he never knew he was the target of an investiga tioncentering on the role played by his law firm in a get-rich-qulck deal in United States surplus tank ers Deiore ne took the clean-up Job last Feb. 1. Similarly, McGrath has testified he knew nothing about any crimi nal Investigation of the tanker deal.

Morris could not be reached immediately for- comment on the day's developments. Nor could Mc-1 uratn. Discussed Case Peyton Ford, McGrath's former deputy, told a House Judiciary subcommittee that when McGrath and Morris discussed the clean-up job last January, they also talked about the tanker case, Morris was appointed as the Truman Admin istration anti-corruption sleuth on Feb. 1. McGrath fired him April 3.

Ford said McGrath told Morris that in taking over the clean-up post he would have to "disqualify" himself from any inquiry touching on the tanker affair because his law firm was Involved In the case. But Ford told the lawmakers: "I never associated Newbold Morris with a criminal investigation. It never went through my mind." Ford said he and McGrath both regarded Morris' connection with the tanker transacting "as a law yer' representing the companies and not as being personally in volved." 4 1 Met Morris The former assistant attorney general said he met Morris and took him to McGrath's home to discuss the appointment as cleanup boss. At that time, he said, the tanker case was "under review" by the Justice Department's criminal Division but hadn't come up for a full-fledged investigation. Ford disclosed that Morris was the No.

Toft Florida, Ohio Tests Watched By The Associated Press Lieutenant" General Albert Wedemeyer claimed yesterday that uenerai Douglas MacArthur has thrown his support to Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio in the race for the Republican presidential nomination. In New York, a MacArthur spokesman said the former Pacific commander knew of Wedemeyer's statement but had no immediate comment. Wedemeyer told' a news conference in Washington that MacArthur called him a week ago and urged him to accept the chairmanship of a national Taft-for- President Citizens' Committee "for the good of the country." He said that was "quite a clear supporting Taft Backs Taft Wedemeyer, who served as com mander of United States forces in China late in World War said In announcing his acceptance of the committee chairmanship that he regards Taft as "definitely the best qualified by knowledge and experience" to the field of OOP candidates. Meanwhile, the national spot light turned to today's Florida "popularity" primary where Sena tor Estes Kefauver collides with Senator Richard B.

Russell In a critical test of strength. It Is the first time the front- running Kefauver and the late-starting Russell have come to grips and the only such test of their volte-pulling prowess in the South A victory for Kefauver would mean a big boost In bis bid for the Democratic presidential nomina tion and a severe setback to the Stop-Kef auver forces in the North. On the other hand, Russell virtually has to win to be regarded as a major figure to the nationwide picture. Russell Favored Russell was generally rated the favorite, but there was speculation that Kefauver might score an up set with an eleventh-hour assist from former Senator Claude Pepper. Pepper, a veteran "New Deal" and "Fair Deal" stalwart, is still reckoned as a power In Florida politics.

Also, on tap today was a somewhat less exciting primary in Ohio, Taft's home state, where Taft boosters predicted the Senator would capture at least 52 of the state's 56 delegates to the Republi can National Convention. If so, it would put Taft far out to front of Eisenhower in the tight scramble for GOP delegates. The latest Associated Press tabulation shows Eisenhower leading Taft, to 2'is, although Taft claims he holds a margin of 80 votes over the five-star general. No contest Is in volved in the Ohio election, and write-in votes are barred. The main business Is the selection of delegates.

Knight, president of the CIO Oil Workers International, which has Its headquarters In Den ver, said in a statement: an oil company will offer us 18 cents in cash, the strike at that company's plant would undoubtedly end In a short time." Knight was commenting on reported terms of a settlement In California involving a union which Is not among the 22 CIO, AFL and independent unions- which called the strike last Wednesday. The strike was ordered to back up the unions' demands for a wage Increase of 25 cents per hour plus higher extra pay for night work. The current scale averages $2 to $2.10 per hour. Some Agreement The Los Angeles agreement between the Independent Union of Petroleum Workers and Standard Oil of California included benefits worth 18 V4 cents an hour for 5,000 employes, a union spokesman said. But at San Francisco, a company official said they figured it amounts a 15-cent boost.

Meanwhile. Secretary of the Interior Chapman said the is not planning on nationwide' rationing of automobile' gasoline despite, shortages here and there. Chapman told reporters at New York he was "hopeful of a-settlement being reached in a few days. The situation Is very serious." he said it was likely a ban might be placed on automobile sports to conserve gasoline. -More Added The government added 26' more states to the previous list of 17 where Inventory restrictions on gasoline, kerosene, home heating oil, diesei fuel and residual fuel oil were put Into effect last Thursday.

The order left only Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada and Arizona free- from tha limitation provisions.
