Support Pledged To Risdon Unit
 international -
 C. |. o. Union
 Promises Aid

The executive board of the Inter- national Union of Mine. Mill & Shelter Workers, CTO., has voted to throw all the unions strength behind the strike against the Ris- don Manufacturing Company here.
 The international's vice-president, Ralph Rasmussen, has been as- signed to liaison duties between lo~ eel 25l, to which Risdon strikers belong. and the union headquarters at Chicago. He has been directed to make an investigation to see what can be done to bring this strike to a successful conclusion at an early date"
 Last week the Connecticut C.T.O. voted to give its full backing to the Risdon strike, which has been in progress for almost four months. All MM.S.W. locals and units in this area are also helping the strikers.
 National Labor Relations Board investigators this week visited Wa terbury to gather further evidence in the unions charges of unfail labor practices by the company Efforts by the State Board of Medi- ation to effect a settlement have been fruitless.
 Union employees of Risdon went on strike Aug. %. The strike came when the company broke off nego' tiations with the union, claiming that the union no longer repre- sented a majority of the workers.

COP Varies Tox Cutting

Washington. Dec. IA - CUP) - Republicans were still committed today to the % percent personal in- come tax reduction but COP. lead- CTS were willing to modify their earlier plans for making an equal slash in all brackets.
 The original Idea was to cut taxes straight across the board. that is. to allow a 20 percent reduction whe- ther a taxpayers liability was a mil- lion dollars or S20.
 Now, however. the Republicans believe the important thing is to reduce the overall dollar total of personal income taxes by 20 per- cent. Therefore. a COP. fiscal au- thority said. ''the door is being left open" to alternative methods of &C., complaining the promised cut.
 Possible alternatives might be al- lowance of higher exemptions and reduction of surtax rates. These might mean Q cut of more than % percent for some taxpayers and less for others. But the overall effect would be a 20 percent reduction in the total.

WAA Reps Priorities

Washington, Dec. l4-(UP)-Some congressional support appeared forming today behind a proposal to eliminate priorities for veterans, schools and governmental agencies in the purchase of surplus war proper ty.
 The proposal was made by War As- sets Administrator Robert M. Little iohn at the final hearing of special House committee investigating sur- plus property disposal He said the priorities system is hampering quick and profitable sale of war surpluses.
 Sales under priorities are difti- cult to administer" Littlejohn said. Field operations are expensive. Substantial periods of time are in- volved in passing through priority bands in the conduct of a sale.
 "I estimate that during the cal- endar year i947 some $40,OOO, 900 will be expended in making sales under the priority system"
 Committee Chairman Roger o. Slaughter, D.-Mo), told reporters after the hearing that the priorities system had 'hamstrung" Littlejohn in selling war surpluses. He pre- dicted that "the next Congress will take some action on this subject.

 Here the proceedings get nttie confused. Gandy's red-leather char smashed to the floor. Collins tried to jump on him. Candy kicked him in the stomach. Candy hit him again in the neck.
 They're up. They're down. And somehow they both kicked me. They didn't intend to: they just did. They were kicking all over the red velvet carpet. Then cr-a-a-a-a-a-sh. Five more chairs fell over as a flying wedge of police raced in.

 Why" I asked. did you hit that | fellow?"
 well, he said. "I'n tell you. He is a dirty liar. He lied about me talk ing money. And then he tried to speak to me. That's why I hit him. "

US. Bots
 ForDutch

Washington, Dec. l4 - CUPl - The United States was ready today to help the Netherlands restore it's vital pre-war trade with Germany but not at the expense of the U. s. taxpayer.
 This was made clear by the State Department in Q reply to charges by Dr. Eelco N. van Kleffens, Dutch delegate to the United Nations Se- curity Council.
 Van Kleffens said the United States and Britain were helping Germany to her feet" while leaving neighboring United Nations ito languish in economic prostration and seEni-poverty."
 A State Department spokesman said it always has been U. S. policy to see that recovery in liberated na- tions goes ahead more rapidly than in Germany. He outlined moves to step up Dutch opportunities to get vitally needed materials from Ger many and to allow imports to Ger many to flow through Dutch ports.
 But the spokesman left no doubt that so long as the Q. s. is footing the bill for a good share of Ger man recovery 1t will not adopt costly practices just for the sake Of help ing the Netherlands.

Axerboiiuni Resist Army In Capitol
Semi-Sutonomous Reglme's No. 2 Men Arrested

TehFan, Dec. la-(up)--A slaah- born group of the defeated Aner- haiian Democrat" reRimeN sun. porterS resisted frAnlan government troops from behind harricades In Isoria today after the Nglmee No. man was arrested.
 Mohane0 Berlya, who ranged just behind JaAfar plshevari in the tle- nanot senll@Auoo oononaous regime. was arrested tn Che AEerbaiian capital last night TahrlR reports said. The government had announced that Pishevarl fled Co Russia.
 The nArricaded Democrats" were warned by government forces to surrender or he blasted from their buildings by artillery fire. Their decision Co resist reportedly was due tn part Co stories of fatal at- taces on other Democrats caught by AHerhaiian cltiEenry.
 Gen. Ali RaSniAra, chief oe staff, said the cordon around the die- harls was tightening "every mln-' ute" Although oil organized resist. ance had ceased, he said, the Cen- tral Government troops stlll were meeting Sporadic bursts of rifle fire from within the corcon.
 Reports reaching Tehran from various parts of the province lndl~ cated that Averhaijan civilians were killing some of the Fidayts-Dem crats trregulars-who fell into their hands.
 An franian general staff source In Tehran said the total casualties on both sides during the brief "war" m which government troops en- tered AHerhaljan did not exceed % killssd and 100 wounded. Civilian disturbances throughout the prov tnce caused numerous additional casualties.
 Government troops were spread ing from TahriR to less provincial cities, preparatory to supervising elections-the governments an- nounced aim for sending troops into Azerbaijan. Motorized units con- trolled the Tahris. airport, some distance from city, and planes will fly there from Tehran when the weather improves.
 In Tehran crowds destroyed ell headquarters. printing presses and clubs of the. left-wing Tldeh Par I. There were shouts of death to traitors" Crowds apparently bent on lynching sought Tudeh leaders, claiming men had tried to sell Iran to Russia"
 Beriya reportedly had helped sev- eral influential Aserbaijani escape death or imprisonment during the Democrat regime. Some of them were said to have given him offers of aid in case the regime fell. This may have influenced his decision no. to follow Pishevari to Russia.
