Governors Meet
Congressmen To
Talk Tax Plans
By FRANCIS J. KELLY
WASHINGTON, March 12 —
(AP) — With taxpayers’ wallets
snsging mid-March flat, a group
of Governors and local officials
meet with Congressmen today to
discuss new ways of splitting fu
ture tax dollars.
The sate officials included such
nolitically votent figures as Gov.
Alfred E. Driscoll of New Jersey,
Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illinois
-nd Gov. Walter J. Kohler, jr., of
vwisconsin, but there were no in
d:cations of possible early action
{» remove overlapping, duplica
tien and even ftriplication of ex
ting levies.
A House Ways and Means sub
committee headed by Rep. Dough
ton (D-NC) arranged a roundtable
Jizeussion of multiple taxation of
h things ag gaseline. tobacco,
Imissions and estates. So every
ody could throw their ideas for
ward without tribition, the con
ference met behin” closed doors.
Doughton, who also is chairman
of the Wayvs andéMeans Committee
i+=nlf, made no bones about the
ditficulty of persuading any gov-.
ornment division to give up any
sources of revenue at this time.
It’s Bad All Over A
“All jurisdictions are hard up,
and all of them would be very re-
Jiietant to relinquish any source of
funds,” he told a reporter.
In separate interviews, Daugh
ton and Rep. Reed (R-NY), rank
ing Republican member of the
committee, agreed that the average
taxpayer couldn’t expect any re
lief even if a new split-up should
e agreed upon.
“If the federal government re
duced its gasoline tax, or and other
tax such as the one on admissions,
the states would immediately add
the ssme amount to their levies,”
Reed predicted.
Rep. Mills (D-Ark), another
member ‘of the tax-writting unit,
said undoubtedly there is over
lapping of taxes in many fields.
“But,” he said, “as the states call
on the federal government for help
on programs they used to finance
locally, the federal government
necessarily has to move into fields
of revenue previously claimed by
the states.™
Mills said the units most out of
luck appear to be the municipal
and fo%nbtgdgovermnents,fwhich get

BRITISH SET BUDGET
LONDON, March 12—(AP)—
Britain looked today to a record
budget of 4,240,000,000 pounds
($11,872,000,000) to restore world
confidence in the pound and slow
up the leak in the country’s vital
gold and dollar reserves.
At the end of February those
reserves totalled less than two
billion dollars. The treasury con
siders that perilously low.
The government thought, too,
that the budget which cuts income
lax and taxes on overtime earn
ings, would restore workers’ ine
centives to produce more—some-=
thing fir!tair must:de to survive,'

Allies Reject Red Plan
Ot Soviet Inspections
.
U. N. Also Nixes
POW Exchanges
By ROBERT B. TUCKMAN
MUNSAN, Korea, March 12 —
(AP) — Allied truce negotiators
today rejected a new Red scheme
to let Russia examine American
secret weapons.
U. N. negotiators said the Com-~
munist plan “amounted to a forced
gathering of military intelligence”
by neutral inspection teams super=
vising a Korean armistice. Under
the proposal these teams would
include Russia.
Allied negotiators also rejected
a prisoner exchange plan they said
the 'Communists “seemed” “very
anxious” to put over. Rear Adm.
R. E. Libby said “it could be a
trap.” In any event, it did not in
clude -voluntary repatriation on
which the Allies insist.
Despite the dual rejection, U, N.
spokesmen noted an improved
tone in truce talks after recent
days of bitter exchanges.
Brig. Gen. William P. Nuckols,
official U. N. command spokesman,
said the Reds showed ‘“they re
cognize the fact -that this is an
armistice in Korea” and apparent
ly abandoned an attempt to ban
Allied blockades of the China
coast.
Wants Further Talk
Col. Andrew J. Kinney, U. N.
staff officer, said Communists in
dicated a desire to talk “a little
further” about supervising an
armistice. This was reflected in the
length of Wednesday’s session. [t
lasted one hour and 13 minutes,
compared to a combined total of
minutes for the three previous
meetings this week.
In this session North Korean €ol.
Chang Chun San made the move
to take the wraps off secret equip
ment. He proposed that any mem
ber of neutral inspection teams
could require the entire team to
examine any equipment brought
to Korea during the truce.
Kinney said nothing doing. He
explained to newsmen later, “Our
main point was that we didn’t
want to involve personnel of neu
tral teams in what amounted to a
forced gathering of military in
telligence.”
The Allies seek inspection of
equipment only to make sure it
is a replacement. .
Kinney said Chang indicated
the Reds won’t press for a sweep
ing ban on Naval blockades.
Previously the Reds tried to
omit the word “Korea” from a
paragraph providing there would
be no blockade of Korea during
an armistice. The U, N. command
had interrepted this as a move to
keep any Allied Naval force from
blockading the China coast.

Ex-Convict Is
Seized By FBI
For Reno Theft
MILWAUKEE, March 12 —
(AP)—Andrew Robert Young, 46,
an ex-convict, was seized by FBI
agents yesterday in connection
with the theft of 1% million dol
lars from the home of a Reno,
Nev., millionaire 10 days ago.
The agents seized Young after
tracing him, they said, through
an attractive, dark-haired myster
woman who attempted to pass {
$1,({00 bill at a Reno gambling
table.
After hours of questioning, dur
ing which Young denied taking
part in the Feb. 29 burglary or
even being in Reno at the time, he
was brought before U. S. Com
missioner Floyd B. Jenkins, Pre
liminary hearing on a charge of
interstate transportation of stolen
property was adjourned for a
week pending arrival of a warrant
from Reno. Young was held in
jail in $50,000 bond.
U. S. Attorney Timothy T. Cro
nin said Nevada authorities told
him Young was charged there
with being involved in the burg
lary of the mansion of Laverne
V. Redfield. Whether others were
involved, federal authorities re
fused to say.
The FBI men who arrested
Young said t%ey found. five SIOO
bills on him but none of the rest
of the cash. securities and jewelry
taken from the Reno millionaire’s
home.
Young, who said he was a con
struction worker, has lived with
his wife, Pauline, in a small apart
ment on a quiet street since last
November. Mrs. Young has five
children by a previous marriage.
The mystery woman in Reno
was questioned by FBI men Mon
day night after she attempted to
break a -SI,OOO bill after losing at
the swank Riverside Hotel gam=
bling casino. The-casino cashiers
identified the bill by its serial
number as part of the loot taken
in the Redfield burglary.
Navy May Take
Coordinate Site
Officials of the Chamber of
Commerce and the University of
Georgia expressed optimism this
morning in regard to the ‘possi
bility of the Navy’s taking over
the Coordinate College campus
and buildings for some of its
training purposes. L
As a result of the efforts of
Congressman Paul Brown, Con
gressman Carl Vinson and Sena
tor Richard B. Russell working
with Chamber of Commrerce and
University officials two groups of
Navy officers have been to Athens
within the last thirty days to in
spect the Coordinate cambus fa
cilities. The fewrst. group of three
Naval officers came in about a
month ago. They were entertained
by University and Chamber of
Commerce officials and left with
an excellent impression of the
availabie facilities.
Last Friday five Naval officers
representing the Navy’s Bureau of
Personnel, the Bureau of Supplies
and Accounts, the Bureau of En
gineering and with the executive
officer of one of their training
schools, came to Athens for fur
ther inspections of the Coordinate
campus. They were met early in
the morning on the Comet by
officials of the Chamber of Com
merce and the University and
after being entertained at break
fast by President Aderhold they
made a careful inspection of the
property. Throughout the rest of
the day they were entertained at
luncheon and at dinner and when
they were taken back to depart

Strikers Defy Court's
Return To Job Orders
NYC Has Trouble
VWith Schedules
CLEVELAND, March 12.—(AP)
—With Toledo, Ohio, strikers
openly defying a court and union
order to return to work, the New
York Central system was having
difficulty today in restorinig train
runs to normal. ,
Mest of the conductors, firemen
and engineers were back on the
job, said the road, after a three
day strike. But the Toledo rebel
lion and a small turnout on the
shift at Elkhart, Ind.—also: on the
main line—were hamperindg oper
ations, the road announced.
An NYC spokesman at Chicago
said this mcrning it appeared. un
likely that the road could send
mail or passenger trains from
Chicago today on the main line.
There are not enough men te op
erate the trains, he said.
Many of those strikers who did
climb back aboard the locomrotives
and cars did so grudgingly, know
ing their strike had gained them
nothing but a loss of pay, the.road
and unions conceded.
In Toledo, there was outright
revolt. Five hundred die-hard
strikers shouted down a brother
hood officer urging them to return,
quit their brotherhoods in & body,
and decided to form a new umnion.
The new organization would be
called the Model Railroad Club.
The Toledo strikers will hold
another vote today—this time by
secret ballot.
If they persist in remaining on
strike, a road spokesman said, the
NYC could be forced to route
through trains to Chicago through
Canada.
In Elkhart, In., union leaders
still were trying to persuade the
strikers to go back early today.
~ Angry Meetings
Picket lines also wepe maintain
ed for hours and mgqu:ungs
were ¢onducted at such points as
Cleveland, Niles, Mich,, Buffalo
and Chicago last night before it
was decided to quit striking.
The return-to-work order was
sent out by strike leaders a few
hours following Federal Judge
Emerich B. Freed’s granting of a
restraining order yesterday to the
Army, which has " controlled the
railroads since August; 1950.
The orders were signed by
Chiefs J. P. Shields of the Bro
therhood of Locomotive Enginee.s;
David B. Robertson of the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen; and R. O. Hughes
of the Order of Railway Conduc
tors.
Refusal to obey Judge Freed’s
order could have meant fines or
imprisonments.
The strike, called by surprise
Sunday morning for working rules
changes and higher pay, also was
against the St. Louis Terminal
The 600 strikers there took up
three hours of angry debate last
night before returning. .
A union spokesman said he
thought everything would be all
right before the day ends, even at
Taledo, . ..
Resumes Service
The New York Central announ
ced it would resume passenger
service today, starting with the
advance Empire State Express,
which leaves Grand Central Sta
tion in New York for Chicage this
morning.
Freight cars — with perishables
getting high priority — also were
rolling.

British Officer
Not For Fighfi
LONDON, March 12—(AP)—A
British Army officer says Ameri
can tanks in action in Korea atre’
“make for Hollywood, not for
fighting.”
Lt.-Col. Sir William Guy Low
ther, commander of the Bth Royal
Hussars Armored Regiment, de=-
clared one British Centurion tank
is worth two American Pattons.
Ee told 3,000 workers at the
Centurion plants in Leeds yester
day:
“In Korea we did not want the
Patton, but the Americahs wénted
the Centurions. They used to say,
‘What wouldn’t we do with a tank
like that?’
“In one battle 52 Al¥ed tanks—
half British and the rest American
-- were damaged by Chinese
mines. All the British tanks got
away under their own power.
Every American machine had to
be towed back.
“The whole world is awakening
to the fact that Britain can pro
duce the best tanks.”
Another Hussars officer, one of
‘l4 Korean veterans who toured
the plant with Sir William, told
reporters afterward:
“It’s time people at home reai
iaed the truth. American tanks in
rea are no good. They are out
classed by ours in every way.
“Ours climb better, move quick
er and can get in and out of a
tough spot before the Americans
are half started.”
An enibarrassed official of the
Ministry of Stpply, which ar
ranged-the visit to the Leeds plant,
said, “The visit was arranged so
that someone from: Xorea could
say thank you personally to those
who made tanks. We did not know
Sir William would speak out so
strongly against our ally.”
A war office spokesman com
mented today that Lowther was
“speaking for home consumption,
after all.” 2
4T suppose,” added the official,
“that he .wanted to buck the
workers up a bit.”

Morris Exchanges Hot
Words With McCarthy

Probers Dislike

Flippant Trend
BY G. MILTON KELLY
WASHINGTON, March 12.—
(AU)—Newbold Morris told Sena
tor McCarthy (R.-Wis,) today,
“You've knocked off a lot of char
acters but you’re not going to
knock off me.”
Morris, the government clean
up man, wuas back for the second
day beifore the Senate investiga
tions subcommittee, which is dig
ging into his role in deals in sur
plus government ships.
Morris flared up when McCar
thy said that oil shipments to Red
China helped “sign the death war
rants of American boys in Korea.”
Tankers owned by United Tank
er Corporation of New York car
ried oit to Communist China until
about a month before the outbreak
of the Korean war. Morris’ law
firm has been counsel for the
shipping firm and the stock of the
company is wholly owned by a
charitable foundation headed by
Morris.
McCarthy said he wanted to find
out whether Morris had been ‘“the
greatest dupe of all time” or was
really the operating head of an
organization which made profits
so ‘“soaked in blood.”
Ugly Things Said
Morris told McCarthy: “Listen,
my petriotism is at stake. You've
seid a 2 iot of ugly things here.”
Chairman Hoey (D.-N.C.) told
Morris he could make a detailed
reply to McCarthy’s statements.
Morris began by declaring,
“Senator, I've never been a dum
my or a front for any organiza
tion.”
Before the session began, sev
eral members of the subcommittee
had said they wanted to get down
to “brass tacks” on that point.
They complained that mu¢h of
yesterday’s first session with Mor
ris was taken up with “flippan
cies.”
There was much rowing be-
tween the witness and the sena
tors and Morris at one point pulled
out a note he said his wife had
given him to remind him to “keep
your shirt on.”
The propriety of the oil trade
did not come up during that time.
Adams Services

Mrs. Katie McGrath Adams died

Pay Scale Hiked
At Tech And
The University
ATLANTA, March 12—(AP)—
The Georgia Board of Regents to
day notified college presidents
that it looked with disfavor on the
use of increased funds for salary
hikes.
Even so the Regents upped the
maximum salary scale for faculty
members at Georgia Tech and the
University of Georgia. ’
University System Chancellor
Harmon Caldwell said it brought
the salaries into line with those of
other Southern institutions.
The Board also heard, but failed
to act on the recommendation by
Tech President Blake R. Van Leer
that women be admitted to the
engineering school.
- In dealing with the salary issue
the board said it objected to using
additional appropriations for sal
ary increases “at the expense of
other activities.” ’
Albany's Mayor
Lashes Critics
ALBANY, Ga.,, March 12 —
(AP)—Mayor E. E. Wetherbee,
jr., today lashed back at eritics
of his “reform” administration
after insisting at a hot City Com-~
mission meeting last night that he
had not campaigned against the
serving of mixed drinks in Al
bany.
The Mayor said he is not in fav
or of overtaxing the Police De
partment by enforcing the Geor
gia law against the sale of whigky
by the drink.
The noisy commission session,
which left some spectators baffled
over what did take place, was
punctuated at one point by City
Commissioner R. A. Culpepper’s
blast at Albany’s Chief Executive,
Culpepper accused the Mayor
of evading the liquor question
until compelled to come out in the
open.
J. Y. Stokes, a Dougherty Coun
ty resident who said he is an Al
bany taxpayer, then charged that
the Mayor is “not fit to hold public
office.”
Police Committee Chairman
George Johnston said he did not
think enforcement of the state
law regarding drinks should be
put into effect at this time, in
agreeing wit hthe Mayor’s stand.
“All the loophotes and techni
calities in the state law would be
just too much along with the regu
lagdduties of the police force,” he
said.
Mayor Wetherbee declared his
“clean-up” campaign against big
time gambling, racketeering and
sale of rum to teen-agers com=-
prises a complete job for the Al
bany Police Department at this
time. g

Losers Stunned
At Ballot Result
By RELMAN MORIN
MANCHESTER, N. H., March 12
—(AP)— Gen. Dewight D. Eisen
hower hammered out a complete
and overwhelming victory eower
Sen. Robert A. Taft in the New
Hampshire primary today, and
Sen. Estes Kafauver smashed the
Democratic state party organiza
tion, defending President Truman,
It was the nation’s first primé. »
election.
The Yesults, in poth the De
mocratic and Republican contests,
came as a stunning surprise, beth
to the victors and the defeated.
Eisenhower swept the popular
vote, and won all 14 GOP delega
tes races.
Kefauver, in beating Truman,
took 54 per cent of the popular
vote. Eisenhower’s precentage
spread was 59 to 39 over Taft,
Ger?. Dauglas MacArthur and Har
old E. Stassen. ;
Kefauver also made a <lean
sweep of the 12 Democratic dele
gate races. s
With 284 of the state’s 207 pre
cincts reported, the tolls wene:
Eisenhower 42,512, Taft 32820,
Stassen 6,060, MacArthur '2,763,
W%ren lég o
ith 7 precinc r?ctn( .
I%e(fi‘a#ver had 19,203 and Truman
15,647.
Eisenhower’s margin nearly
doubled the most optimistic pre
diction of any of his followers.
That was 5,000; most estimated
less than 2,500.
As to delegates, the comsensus
before the election was that he
would take 12. Sen, Taft had said
he would be satisfied to win four.
Stunning Victory
In terms of pre-election fore
casts, Kefauver’s victory over the
President was even more stunning.
'lihe Ten;xetsseeanf madei modest
claims—but not for a victory—in
‘the popular vote, and said he be
lieved he would win “some dele
gates.”
In Frankfurt, Germany, Eisen-
Lower said, when told the retarns
“any American who is honored by
so many other Americans con
sidering him fit for the Presidency
should be proud, or, by golly, he
is no American.”
Kefauver said, “I am entirely
elated over the results. I den’t
