Jonathan Daniels
Denies Knowledge
Of B-36 Arguments
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10, —
(UP)— Jonathan Daniels, edi-
tor of the Raleigh (N. C.) News
and Observer, said today an in-
ter-service feud over the Air
Force B-36 bomber "had noth-
ing whatever to do" with his
decision not to become secretary
of the navy.
The wartime aide to Presi-
dents Roosevelt and Truman
told the United Press by tele-
phone from his home he will
officially inform a special navy
court that he never requested
Rep. Charles B. Deane, D., N. C.,
to get information for him on
the B lifi controversy.
The court, in recess today
until Sept. 21, is trying to learn
whether Cedric R. Worth, su-
spended assistant to Undersec-
retary of the Navy Dan A.
Kimball, had any help in his ad-
mitted authorship of a "scurri-
lous" document attacking the
B-.'iti bomber program.
Worth has testified that
Deane asked for the information
he put into the document. He
said Deane explained he wanted
information for Daniels about
"disturbing" reports he had
heard which affected the navy.
Worth's anonymous attack on
die B-:iB set off an investigation
by the House Armed Services
Committee, which later found
its charges wholly unwarranted.
The B-36 has been chosen by
the Air Force as its main atomic
bomber.
As an off-shoot of a navv-air
force controversy over merits
i>l the big bomber, John L. Sul-
livan resigned as navy secre-
tary last spring when Defense
Secretary Louis Johnson scut-
tled a proposed navv super air-
craft carrier. President Truman
offered the post to Daniels. It
went to Francis P. Matthews
when Daniels turned it down.
"I knew nothing about this
whole B .'Hi matter," Daniels
said.
He said he did not want to
"embarrass" Deane but the Con-
gressman "did not ask for infor-
mation as my representative."

(UP) — The government of the

quested Parliament to give him a
vote of confidence on an ulti-
matum tu Britain declaring that
a plebiscite on secession will be
held unless Britain grants Malta
direct economic aid under the
Marshall Plan.

BRITISH
(Continued From Page One I
The issue may move toward de-
cision next week at meetings
scheduled for the Internation-
al Bank and the International
Monetary fund. Representatives
at those meetings are expected
to feel free to talk devaluation
bcause some European curren-
cies would be directly affected
by any cut in the value of Brit-
ain's pound sterling'^
The pound is pegged now at
a false level of $4.03. In an open
market such as Lisbon, Portu-
gal, an English pound would
shrink ir. value by $1 or more.
Sen. Eugene D. Millikin, R.,
Colo., told the Senate this week
that there should be a big and
general devaluation of Europ-
ean currencies to firing produc-
tion costs down.
Sen. George W. Malone, R.,
Nev., followed up last night
with a protest against efforts
"to save the fictitious value of
the British pound sterling." He
said there should be a return
to "free and honest exchange
policies."
