Brooklyn, N. Y, Sept. 25 = (UP) The Rev. Bennay J. F. Benson, pas tor of the Brooklyn Dutch Reform ed Church, knelt on the steps of Borough Hall today and prayed for the Brooklyn Dodgers. He asked that they receive an even break in the pennant race with the St. Louis Cardinals, and added; If the Lord gives Brooklyn an even break, they're good enough to win"
 About 200 persons gathered around the steps of Borough Hall at noon. Just as large clock started booming l2 times, Benson took of his hat, kneeled and prayed:
 70, Lord, were praying for those Dodgers. Their chances don't look so good right now Everybody is praying for the Buns to win.
 70, Lord give we pray, give to the Dodgers an even chance to win the pennant: like the man in the woods who is crossing the stream on & fallen tree trunk, who met a bear in the middle, coming his way - O, Lord he prayed. I only ask if you don't help me. don't help the bear either"

Assessors See Tax Raises
 Up to 50 Percent On Homes

Boston, Sept. 25 25-UP)- Assess ments on private homes will go up as much as 50 percent in some parts of the nation in the next year or two and, in many cases, tax payers will take it in the neck" '"
 That prediction was made in 8 symposium conducted by the United Press today at the 18th National Conference on Assessment Admin istration sponsored by the Nation al Association of Assessing Off cers.
 All those polled agreed that the current inflated real estate market necesSitated a revaluation of every building in the nation except those in "blighted" areas, with the an- ticipated rise in assessments rang ing from 20 to 5G percent.
 J. w. Hartman, assistant county assessor of Los Angeles which has the largest assessment office in the world, said that assessments on the ordinary home will have to go up 30 percent in the next two or three years. He said he knew that to be true in California and saw no req son why the same situation should not prevail throughout the nation.
 Taxes then will necessarily go

up, because it costs more to run the government, and 1t would be impossible to make an allowance for increased assessments" he said.
 Charles A. Hid of the Philadel- phia Board of Revision of Taxes agreed in substance with Hartman, saying that the new assessments are going to Init the taxpayers in the eye"
 Because of the rising real estate market in Philadelphia, he said, assessments will go up about 25 percent in those sections where sales prices have been running away from assessed values. How ever, he said, the new valuation will not be on a par with asking prices, since home valued at $4,000 in pre-war days but selling for 5000 now would be assessed at 5000.
 Association President H. Gordon Bollman, chief of the Chicago ad- ministrative service divison of the county assessors office, agreed that assessments would go up be- tween 30 and 10 percent. He be- lieved, however, that the bottom would drop out of the real estate market in general, once contractors start building multi-story apart ment hotels.

State Hears
 Bonus Pleas

Hartford Sept. 25.-UP)-Veter- ans organizations throughout the State laid demands before the Legislative Council today for pay ment of a bonus to hte 24O,- 900 men and women who served in World War IT.
 Although about 100 showed up at the hearing in the hall of the State House of Representatives only one asked for an immediate special secession of the General As- sembly to amend the constitution and speed payments. Albert A. Rice, Hartford, past state comman- der of the Jewish War Veterans, supported the special session where by it would be possible to start paying a bonus at the end of the year Throught routine channels it would require four years to make the necessary constitutional amend ment.
 Suggestions generally favored a bonus of $10 for each month of ser vice, with minirpum of $l00 and a maximum of $500. Eligibility would start after 90 days service.
 Financing of the bonus plan, which would cost about $75, 5000 900, could be through long-term bond issue, or imposition of a luxury tax, the Council was told.

Risdon'sU.C.
 PoIicyWrong. Union Is Told
Lobor Department Informs Goreeou Practice lIIeqoI

Ovide Garceau, international rep resentative of the M.M.S.W.-C.IO. declared today that an opinion re- ceived from the State Labor De- partment completely supports the union claim that the Risdon Manu- featuring Company, in refusing to issue unemployment compensation separation notices to employees wishing to resign, is violating a reg ulation of the Unemployment Com pensation law.
 Garceau said that the Labor De- partment informed him, in writing that U C. administrator regula- tion No. 19 requires employers to issue to a resigning worker, with in one day after termination of em- ployment," the type of notice which the union claims has been refused workers.
 ''The position taken by the Ris- don Company is both arrogant and cruel" said Garceau. Since other employers to whom Risdon en- ployes go for new jobs want to see a U. c. separation notice before they will hire, the action of the Ris- don company has the effect of a blacklist.
 "The Risdon company is attempt ing to go back to the dark ages of industrial relations.
 The union will demand that the Labor Departments unemployment compensation division require Ris- don to conform to the regulations of the U. c. law.

Kaiser Says Profits Vitol
 Needed Motive
 To Win Wars

Washington, Sept. 25-(UP)-In- dustrialist Henry J. Kaiser said to- day that profit motive is necessary to win wars but that if Congress could devise a system whereby no one would profit during wartime he would go along.
 Kaiser told the House Merchant Marine Committee that he wouldn' t advocate a plan for elimination profits because he didn't know of any country that ever won war except on the incentive system, and even Russia found that out"
 Kaiser, in his third days appear ance on the stand in the commit tees investigation of wartime ship building profits, said he resented efforts to compare profits with the amount of capital investment made by the shipbuilding companies.
 If shipbuilder can deliver the stuff and save you money, I don't think it makes any Adherence what his capital investment is," he told Rep. Alvin F. Weichel, (R.-O0, Weichel had been questioning Kais- CT about his participation in the formation of the Walsh Kaiser Company at Providence, R. I.
 T want you to recognize Kaiser said, that we built the ships. We built them cheaper and faster than others and saved the government $250, 0,OOO, ,0OO."

Drivers  ToNewYork
 Four Locals Soy
 Owners Must Sign
 Bono Eide Pocts

New York, Sept. Trucks carrying freight from New Jersey into New York City were halted to- day by members of four New Jersey locals of the International Brother hood of Teamsters (AFL0.
 The action was taken in line with the strike strategy of New York City Local 807 of the teamsters which walked out four weeks ago in de- mand for higher wages.
 John E. Strong, president of Local 807, said that the New Jersey locals would continue to halt the trucks until owners signed bona fide" con- tracts to replace If" contracts un- der which some trucking firms are operating.
 Since Local 807 began its strike in New York City approximately one month ago, 762 truck operators have signed contracts with the union, but two important trucking association employing thousands of men have not come to terms.
 Strong said that Jersey locals agreed at the time to If" contracts with Jersey operators by which they would continue working, but would receive the same terms as those negotiated by Local 8O7 when its strike was settled.
 Its now case of pitting one un- ion against another" Strong said and the Jersey locals will not work now without bona fide contracts"
 The locals are 641, 560, 478 and 469
 There was no immediate estimate of the number of trucks affected. Approximately 12,000 truck drivers are employed in Jersey, but not all deliver to New York City.
 The trucks were being stopped at the loading points at warehouses in Jersey.

Wallace To Campaign ForPorty
 Willing to Speak
 On Domestic Issues
 In FoII Drive

Washington, Sept. 25 - (UP)- Henry A. Wallace has decided final ly today to campaign for the Dem ocratic Party with an eye on the 1948 and 1852 presidential elections. His associates revealed that Wal lace is ready and willing to speak for Democratic congressional can didates in the current campaign despite his discharge from the Cabi- net.
 The United Press was informed Wallace would accept state or na- tional committee invitations to speak, or invitations from other responsible Democratic leaders. It appeared likely that he would avoid further discussion of foreign policy until the end of the Paris Peace Conference.
 In accepting speaking engage mentS, Wallace would have to be convinced in his own mind that the Democratic candidate had what he regards as a sound voting record, although the measure by which this would be determined was not ln- dicated His associates said there already had been inquiries from Missouri, Pennsylvania, Indiana and the northwest Pacific states for Wallace speeches.
 Chairman John J. Sparkman of the Democratic National Commit tee Speakers Bureau already has backed away from his black list of Wallace and Sen. Claude E. Pepper, (D.-Fla), as official party speakers. Committee Chair 1 man Robert E. Hannegan is anxious for Wallace to take the stump. Neither committee official wants new attacks on Administration for eign policy, but they evidently are convinced that they need Wallace's help on domestic issues in this campaign.
 Wallace will not speak for Re- publicans regardless of their voting record. the United Press was in- formed. This strategy maintains Wallace'S record as campaign year party worker. It tends to dispose of speculation that he would bolt or that he had third party ideas. Political Washington views Wallace as man who finds his own politi- cal future in the Democratic Party and who intends to stay inside the party pasture working for accept ance of his own ideas in the shap- ing of future platforms.
