Committee Reyokes
Postage Rate Increase
Py the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee revoked yesterday its pre-
vious decision to double second
class postal rates and voted to leave
them at their present level.
Yield of the proposed boost had
been estimated at Sc 900 900. News
papers had been exempted from the
jump by a previous committee de-
Cision.
The committee voted also to:
l. End all special depletion and
production tax allowances on stra-
tegic materials in the first taxable
year following cessation of hos
tilities.
2. Give natural gas pipelines the
same excess profit tax allowances as
are allowed now for coal, iron ore
and timber in cases Of excess output.
3. Rescind its previous decision to
exempt corporations chartered by
Congress-such as the Red Cross,
the Boy Scouts and the DAR-from
a requirement that they file annual
financial statements.

l. AHoireEsquire finally Over
Except for q Month of Review

about four weeks, during which all
Of the gentlemen concerned with the
decision will have some $500 pages
of testimony, more than 200 exhibits
and sundry briefs and legal citations
to divert them from the work
day problems of lesser men.
Mr.. Sassell told the board yester-
day the Post Office Department had
found Esquire "a most troublesome
publication" since 1886 or 1887 when
several issues were ruled out. Again
in 1910, he said, the November and
December issues had to be sent back
to eliminate Objectionable material
Since then, he said, "the pub
Usher has repeatedly attempted tc
get salacious material passed" He
pointed out that the Post Office haC
decided to precensor Esquire, along
with other publications, but that
because of the work involved this
system had to be abandoned in Nav
of last year after 19 months. From
then on, he explained, publishers
were again put on their own re-
spcnsibility in keeping their publ
cations free from the sort of ma
ter.al not ordinarily appreciated by
maiden aunts.
Mr.. Bromley reminded the board
that only 80 items on about 2.OOC
pages in the II issues Of 1943 un-
der discussion were complained OF
by the Government, and that of this
number. 60 were approved by one
or more of the nine Government
witnesses.
Mr.. Bromley said the magazine
should not be judged by its effect
on any particular class of society
but by its effect on the average
human being-the reasonable man

It's going to be dull around here
this week. Therell be practically
nothing going on except a couple of
wars, some congressional debate and
the monotonous chickering's of bu-
reaucracy.
The Esquire hearings are over.
They ended yesterday afternoon on
what sounded like an anticlimac-
tic note after three fascinating
weeks of Varga girls, spicy sayings
and cartoons festooned with many
girls and few clothes. Nothing much
happened yesterday except that at
torneys on both sides of the case de-
bated with each other, and you can
run up to Capitol Hill any day of
the week if you want to hear people
arguing.
The Government attorneys. In
summing up their case. condemned
Esquire as "pandering to pruriency"
and acted pretty much as if they
thought no possible good would come
out of their daily encounters with
the Varga girl and other supple
maidens who cavort on the pages
of the magazine for men" Attor-
ney Calvin Hassell even stood right
up there in open hearing, with a lot
of impreSsionable newspaper people
around. and called the long-legged
young ladies "Varga wenches."
38 Esquire Witnesses.
Bruce Bromley, Esquire lawyer. on
the other hand. said the dazzling
parade of 38 witnesses he brought
to the stand ought to prove once
and for all that Esquire is not only a
respectable publication but is down.
right useful in many respects. He
pointed to the articles on drama,
science, sports, literature and the
arts and said it should be obvious
Esquire is really devoted to up
lifting mankind
SO you can see what tough nut
the three man board that heard
the case is going to have to crack
in the next few weeks. The final
decision will probably be as morally
significant as that Of the judges
who rules about 20 years ago that
September Morn" whatever you
could say about it as art, was not
going to drive anybody into a Ro-
man orgy.
The ruling will not come directly
from the board, which is headed by
Walter Myers, Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General. This three man
body merely makes a recommends
ton to the Third Assistant Post
master General. Here the chain of
command breaks and the procedure
becomes streamlined. The third
assistant sends his recommendation
directly to Postmaster General
Walker, who will have the last word
as to whether Esquire should be de-
priVed Of its second-clasS mailing
privileges on the ground that the
Varga girls and miscellaneous other
material are not conducive to
thoughts on higher plane.
The whole affair will probably take

Attorney General Biddle, War

OF War Patterson are slated to
appear before a Senate Military
Affairs Subcommittee this week in
connection with legislation to regu-
late the termination of war con-
tracts.
Mr.. Patterson will testify tomor-

by Senator Murray, Democrat, Of
Montana. Albert M. Carter, act
ing chairman of the Smaller War
Plants Corp, also will appear. On
Tuesday, the hearing will be given
over to testimony by Mr.. Biddle,
and Mr.. Nelson will appear the
following day.
Legislation now under considera-
ton would authorize Government
procurement agencies to terminate
contracts with small prime or sub
contractors and would set up regu-
lations for carrying out such hquida-
tions. Another measure would pro-
vide for Government backing Of

Controller General Warren ap-
peared before the subcommittee last
week and asked that the termina-
ton control be vested in the Gov
ernment Accounting Office. He said
he did not see how he could take
responsibility for auditing the con-
tract hquidations unless he had the
power to regulate them.
That point of view was disputed
by Secretary of Commerce Jones,
who said the concentration of con-
tract examinations with the GAO
would slow down the procedure since
they could not possibly audit the
settlement of all these hundreds
of thousands of contracts within a
lifetime"
Mr.. Warren, In subsequent let
ter to Chairman Murray suggested
that board be created within the
GAO to deal exclusively with con-
tract examinations and assured the
subcommittee that prompt action
would be assured" under such sys-
