istration.
The board has to see that it gets
back as much money as possible for
American taxpayers. While most Of
the supplies probably will be sold
in countries where they are located
a board spokesman said that If other
countries. such as Sweden. Switzer-
land or Brazil, with a better dollar
exchange rate, offered higher price
and would transport the material, 1t
would be sold to them.
The board has to make sure that
supplies sold overseas are not
dumped back on the American do
mestic market. The amount and
value Of the surplus in Europe has
not been determined.
Gen. Eisenhower has estimated
there is about $4,500. .000, 900 worth

per cent Of which probably will go

~ the Associated Press.

!, CHICAGO, Aug. IA New York
newspaper publishers spokesman to-
day urged the War Labor Board
Daily Newspaper Commission to
deny the demand of the delivery
mems union for employees welfare
fund financed by the employers.
A restless group should not. be
allowed to force this proposition
down the publishers throat" de-
clared william L. Mapel, vice chair
man Of the Publishers, Association Of
New York City.
The three-man commission ad.
journed. taking the case under ad.
visement, after hearing arguments
on disputed issues In . controversy
which resulted In q l7-day strike
that paralyzed circulation of New
York's principal newspapers In July.
Mr.. Maple declared that welfare
Observation-Disclosures, sickness,
and other related protections-were
being dealt with on q Nation wide
scale by the Federal Government.
The Independent Newspaper and
Mail Deliverers' Union demands
that the publishers contribute per
cent of the drivers payroll toward .
fund to provide welfare benefits to
its members. The union spokesman
said that this burden was being
borne at present by the union treas
ury.
This issue was one OF the fore
most in dispute that produced the
strike. The union contended in
arguments presented In the previous
two days Of the hearing that the
men were engaged in a "arduous
and hazardous" type Of work and
that the publishers should provide
protection.
Replying to Mr.. Mapers argu-
ments, Louis Waldman, union coun-
sci, contended the welfare fund pro-
posal was not unique in the history
OF labor relations. The Amalga-
mated clothing Workers and the
International Ladies armen
Workers, Mr.. Waldman said, have
such funds in their contracts and
they are much more generous than
what we are now asking"

"Mr. Greenberg did not take the
stand in his own defense nor did
he offer any proof to contradict the
facts established by the witnesses
for the people and his own books
and records"
The district attorney quoted Judge
John A. Mullen as saying when he
sentenced Greenberg:
For two years your books were
the most deliberate and most calcu-
lated fraud I have ever come in con-
tact with-a probation report shows
you operated from 1885 to 1912 and
held out as much as $700. 900 on
which taxes should have been paid"

In his note, Greenberg said he
was the victim Of political ambi-
tions" Of public officials who wanted
to prove that Mr.. Aurelio, who
happens to be a friend of mine,"
had the support of gambling pro-
moters.
Il had nothing to do with the
nomination of Judge Thomas A.

Maryland U. Offers
Veterans Training al
Resident Rate Costs

The University Of Maryland will
collect only resident tuition fees
from Maryland war veterans at
tending next year at Government
expense instead of levying both resi-
dent and nonresident fees, Presi-
dent H. C. Byrd announced yester-
day.
The university charges a $l25 resi-
dent fee and $l45 nonresident assess
ment.
While the Government pays the
fees under the CT Bill OF Rights. DR..
Byrd said the Board Of Regents had
learned that money veterans re-
ceived for tuition would be deducted
from any subsequent bonus.
This meant that II the veterans
ever received . bonus-and un-
doubtedly they will - they'd be
charged for their education" DR..
Byrd explained.
He said the practice Of charging
both fees was general at all State
unsupported colleges and univer-
stiles last year. The policy was ap.
proved by the Veterans Administra-
ton. He declared, because land
grant colleges and State universi-
ties, whose tuition fees generally
were much lower than the actual
cost of education, wanted some
financial adjustment to put them
on an equitable basis with privately
endowed institutions. 80 '7
DR.. Byrd's announcement fol-
lowed q complaint by Arch Stafford,
national secretary Of the American
War Dads, that unsupported
schools were "profiteering on war
veterans" BY charging them double
tuition fees. s.eaF.
Hes absolutely right, and the
Board Of Regents Of the University
Of Maryland has gone on record
as opposing the practice" Or. Byrd
said, adding:
"At least one other American
university. Purdue, also has gone
on record as being opposed to it.
In the case Of Maryland there prob
ably will be q refund Of nonresident
fees paid by veterans last year."
