 By the end of last year, the com- panny, still dominated by Williams and counselled by Dulles, was worth only $11, 1,l48,655. The subsidiaries of Central States and their shrinkages were: Goldman Sachs, shrunk $4O3 100000 from 1929 ot 1886; Shenandoah Corporation, shrunk SPA, 100000; Blue Ridge Corpora tion, shrunk $97 100000; American Cities Power and Light, shrunk SIP 100000; plus several others.

resigned. His resignation followed phone call from the Securities and Exchange Commission that It intended to investigate the opera tions of North Americas most im- portant subsidiary, Union Electric of Missouri.
 The Federal Government brought criminal charges against various Union Electric officials, asserting that campaign contributions were used to influence politicians in Missouri and Illinois, so that North American might sell highly profit able but unnecessary utility bond issues to a gullible public. Secre- tary of the Navy Forrestals in- vestment firm, Dillon, Read & Company, handled these bond issues.
 Government prosecutors put Johr Dulles on the witness stand and grilled him at great length, but did not indict him. They did indict and convict Frank J. Boehm, executive vice president of Union Electric.
 Boehm has now turned around and sued John Dulles, Harrison Williams, Clarence Dillon and theil companies, contending that he could not have spent the huge total of $5,000,000 as a slush fund fol political purposes without the knowledge of these officials ar1d that he was made the scapegoat tc protect them. This is the suit in which MT. Dulles is now such a reluctant witness.

DOMINATING INFLUENCE

Dulles also was a dominating in- fluence in the Babcock and Wilcox Boiler Company. Until recent years subsidiaries were required to buy their power plant boilers from Bab- cock and Wilcox, sometimes at prices considerably higher than those obtainable at competitive bidding.
 Dulles firm also was counsel for McKesson and Robbins during the famous fiasco when it's head, Don- aid F. Coster, turnned out to be Frank Musica, who shot himself when he was caught several mill lions short on phony warehouse receipts.

 At long last, common sense has scored victory over the bureaucratic instinct in the Treasury Depart ment.
 Next year most of the Federal taxpayers will use so-caed super r-smplied tax return form They will fill out few blanks-earnings taxes withheld and the government, mirabile dictu will figure out what they owe and either send them bill or re- fund.- depending whether the amount of taxes withheld was too little or too much.
 We welcome the innovation, in bitter memory of the recent income tax forms. Especially the one that mystifed even lawyers and bankers. And most especially the next one the supposedly smplified which mystfied people even more. t
 We doubt if the government will ever succeed in making it pleasure to pay taxes. But at least and perhaps at last we seem to be making it less of a horrible experience for them to find out how much they owe

Action by the City Council at special meeting this week extending the time limit for the closing hours of Juneaus liquor dispensares seems to have aroused good deal of discussion
 The decision to make a. m. the new closing hour apparently is based upon the belief that this will serve to help eliminate bootegging which has been going after legitimate dealers have closed their doors
 Some of the cocktail bar operators are not in favor of the hours. The new setup means that the dispensaries must remain open for more hours

lawyers who demand his deposition in one of the most suspicious look ing cases in the history of Ameri- can utility companies, where S50o,- GOO were contributed to the cam paigns of Bruce Campbell, Demo- cratic candidate for governor of Illinois, Mayor Bernard Francis Dickmann of St. Louis, s n o Roscoe Patterson of Missouri, Ed Winter of Missouri, former acting governor of Puerto Rico, and to scores of judges, aldermen and state legislators all over the Mid west for the alleged purpose of in- fluencing utility legislation.
 For months Dulles lodged the process server in this case. Finally a marshal waited all night in front of Dulles house, just before he was about to drive to Washington to confer with Secretary Hull. AS he stepped into the car, the process server jumped out, served Dulles with the subpoena. Several photo graphers were present, caught the dramatic picture. But for some reason the photograph was never published.

Time, |nc., Is Ordered
10 Sign Contract for
Guild Maintenance
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Mar. 15.-The sec
ond regional War Labor Board yes
terday directed that mainte-
nance-of membership provision be
included in contract between Time,
Inc, and the New York local of
the American Newspaper Guild,
CIO, the first such provision ever
ordered in the newspaper industry.
The provision requires that "all
employees who on March 20, 1914, Is
days after date of directive order,
are members of the union in good
standing" shall maintain member
ship in good standing as a condition
|of employment for the duration Of
the contract.
Bruce Bromley, attorney for Time,
Inc, said through his secretary
that he had no comment on the de-
|cision.
Based on General Order.
The decision was based on a gen.
eral order issued March 4 by the
National WLB in Washington hold
ing that maintenance of member
ship in the newspaper industry
would not constitute abridgement |
of the freedom Of the press nor a |
violation of the First Amendment to
the Constitution.
Thomas L. Norton, board chair
man, said the provisio nwas of the
standard type used in contracts tn
other industries, with 15-day |
escape clause, but with certain
provided for by the |
national board in cases involving the
Guild and publishing firms.
The regional board followed the
of the national board
by specifying that mo union men,
Der shall be expelled from or penal
lied by the union because Of his
convictions or because of anything
he wrote or failed to write for pub
lication."
Labor and public members of the
board concurred in the decision and
industry dissented.
Employees May Quit Guild.
Under a maintenance of member
ship agreement, every employe has
the right to determine whether he
will join the union, Withdraw from
1t or remain in good standing during
the 15-day escape" period.
In the national WLB ruling, which
was the elimination of a case in
the Patriot Co., publisher of
the Harrisburg Patriot, and the
Harrisburg Newspaper Guild, the
board directed that a special pro-
tective clause, based on a principle |
Of the Guilds constitution, be in
GUIDED in any maintenance of -mem-
bership provision ordered by the
board.

German Control Plan

The so-called Morgenthau plan
for the deindustrialization of Ger
many is now apparently a dead let
ter, but if any further argument
were needed against it, none could
be better than that contained in a
joint statement by the presidents of
flve national engineering societies
whose members have played large
role in mobilizing America for war.
Beyond demolishing the Morgen-
thau idea by pointing out, in simple
matter = of fact language, how it
would gravely injure the economy
OF Europe and the world, the state
ment offers an alternative sugges-
ton which seems to have enough
sense and validity to warrant the
careful attention of all who are
charged with the responsibility of
working out controls to deprive Ger
many of its power to make war. The
suggestion limits itself solely to the
problem of physical disarmament,
asserting that there are six indus
tries most essential for German
military purposes and least essen
tial for German civilian needs and
that If these were properly taken
care of, German aggression could be
permanently checked without in
vitlng the disastrous consequences
implicit in such proposals as Mr..
Morgenthau's.
The six industries, employing in
peacetime less than two per cent of
the total German labor force, are
synthetic gasoline, explosives, air.
planes, aluminium and magnesium,
high alloy and electrolytic steels,
and nitrogen f1xation. Accordingly,
to eliminate Germany's war-making
capacity without eliminating it's
productive nonmilitary industrial
economy, the five engineering groups
propose four point program of
action: Cd To prohibit Germans
2AoAA PAo0uSAii6 dliy oyllIllCLlC Oll
whatever and from importing petro-
leum beyond normal civilian needs:
Cd to take away rs per cent of their
capacity to manufacture nitrogen,
the principal ingredient of explo-
sives; 90 to cut their steel output
potential by SO per cent in plants
most capable of producing arma-
ment materials such as heavy forg-
ings and high alloy steels; and "a
to do away with all their aircraft
plants and equipment, forbidding
them as well to import aluminium
exceeding their usual peacetime re-
quirements.
"If any one of these steps were
taken" says the statement outlin-
ing the proposal, war could not be
waged-nor prepared for. Taking all
four would afford ample insurance
against war" Though this may be
an -hopeful judgment, the nve
engineering groups argue persua-
sively, and the procedures they sug-
rest seem plausible. In any case
