.Laugh|in Condemns
Maryland Prison
BY the Associotsd Press

BALTIMORE, June 19.-Defense
Counsel James J. Laughlin of Wash
ington yesterday told Criminal
Court jury he would seek to prove
conditions in the Maryland State
Penitentiary were "a disgrace to the
prison administration
Mr.. Laughlin is representing Floyd
Madison, 2l-year-old Oklahoma
convict who went on trial yesterday
on a charge of numbering another
inmate. Theodore r. Quesenbury
last May 5.
The defense counsel charged In
his opening statement that Quesen-
bury-who was serving a 1O-year
sentence from Prince Georges
County-had been active in a gam
bling ring in the prison.
Madison is serving a l2-year SEN
tence from the same county for
burglary and theft.
Assistant StateS's Attorney Allan
H. Murrell asked a verdict of first
degree murder, contending that the
killing was premeditated and that
bad feeling harked back to a time
when hacksaw blades were found in
Madison's possession in the Prince
Georges County jail
Mr.. Murrell said Madison claimed
the other man had RATED" on him
Mr.. Laughlin commended Madison
did not perpetrate the fatal stabbing
Of Quesenbury. He said others had
enmity towards Quesenbury because
in the latter's alleged gambling &C
tivities he had operated a Kentucky
Derby lottery and had failed to
pay off.

u. n. Group Rejects
Red Plan 10 Control
News for Refugees
BY the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, June 10. - Soviet
Russia lost a fight yesterday to
tighten control of information dis
tributed in displaced persons camps
by the proposed international refu-
gee organization.
The vote on the Soviet proposal
came as the climax to a stormy
session of the United Nations Eco
nomic and Social Council which
now is meeting as a committee to
draft an acceptable plan for hand
ling the refugee problem.
Maj. Gen. Peter Ratov, represent
ing Russia, objected strenuously to
the draft proposal that members
Of the United Nations could supply
information to their nationals in
refugee camps only through the ref
ugee camps only through the refu-
ugee organization.
Proposal Defeated.
He proposed an amendment pro-
viding that each nation be given
permission to distribute information
on its own affairs to its own ma
ionals in the camps.
His proposal was defeated, II to
S, after Sir George Rendel. British
representative, contended the ques-
ton already had been threshed out
in London and, as it stood, was a
compromise to meet Russia's views
The debate virtually got out of
control at one point when the
Ukrainian delegate, Anatoly M
Baronovski, objected to efforts of
Sir Ramaswami Mudaliar of India,
Council president, to limit discus
sion to one speaker for each amend
ment and one against.
Speaks Any Way.
Mr.. Barcnovski declared he would
speak anyway. He then charged
that shady characters" were flow-
ing into displaced persons camps
and were finding them ideal places
to develop new plans of aggression
and another war
The Council decided that relief
should be extended to German and
Austrian Jews and to persons who
lived in those two countries as for
eigners or stateless persons. It was
estimated that about $4,000 Jews in
Germany and Austria would be
affected by the Council decision.

Gromyko rejected a personal plea
by Mr.. Evatt to go along with the
council majority.
Il appreciate fully the effort of
DR.. Evatt and other members of
the Council to achieve a unan-
imous decision by the Security
Council" the Soviet delegate said.
But I, Mr.. President, am guided
by another necessity-the necessity
of reaching a decision that shall be
right and just in this matter and
that shall correspond to the gravity
of the Spanish situation. DR.. Evatt
has appealed to me to bend to the
will Of the majority, but I, in re-
turn, feel entitled to ask DR.. Evatt
to accept the solution that 1 con-
slider the right and just solution of
this problem"

ence, called by the U. N. Economic

866,250), which were blocked during
the war.

Vote Rodioed From Ship Breaks
Deadlock on Teen-Aqe Draft

Pay increases ranging from so
per cent for buck privates and ap-
prentice seamen to 10 per cent for
top rank officers.
Manpower demands to be sup
piled from four categories, each to
be exhausted in order: first. volun-
teers; second, inductees between 20
and some top age limit to be de-
termined by the armed forces; third.
19-year-olds; fourth, 18-year- olds.
In no event, however, would
youths of 10 be indicted before
October l, and then only f Presi-
dent Truman certified they are
needed. Their duty would be re-
stricted to the continental United
States until they are 10.
This was the moratorium Mr..
Andrews agreed to. He told news
men aboard the Panamint yester-
day he still favors drafting 18-year-
olds without restrictions, but that
with only II days left before the
current stop-gap extension act ex-
pires, something has to be done
quickly"
Once the conference agreement is
reached the compromise between
the widely differing Senate and
House draft bills must go back for
f1nal approval OF both chambers.
This normally is granted quickly,
but some House members have an
nounced plans for a fight against
taking teen-agers under any condi-
tons, because the House already
has taken this stand twice.

able to the general fund. No time
table is provided.
Urges Board of Planners.
Immediate appointment of a To-
member planning committee to be-
gin study of the proposals is recon-
mended.
1t is believed to be the first master
plan for District public building yet
developed
The most pressing need of the
city is to catch up with its own
growth Gen. Young said, but add
ed: The plan must meet ex-
listing need, plus the additional
needs that will develop while it
is being supplemented"
His own evaluation of the work
was that there are inaccuracies of
detail resulting from rough cost
estimates, guess-work with regard
to future areas of city growth, and
the need for more study in the
technical fields of health, welfare
and education.
But regardless of inaccuracy of
detail" he emphasized, the over
all picture is not far wrong; and it
is the overall picture which needs
to be shown promptly to Congress
and to our citizens"
Divided Into 3 Funds.
Because the city finances are
handled in three separate funds
general, water and highway-each
with its own supporting taxes and
fees, the study is similarly divided
in charting the future improve
ments for Washington.
Nearly half, or about 100000
600 worth of the buildings, will be
chargeable against the general fund
which Gen. Young estimated will
fall s3O,000000 short annually of
being able to meet the bills under
the present tax structure.
This additional $4,000, 900 a year
can be met out of annual revenue"
he predicted, IF Congress will au-
thorlze increased taxes along some
such lines as are now under study
by committee of District officials
and citizens, and at the same time
will increase the grossly inadequate
sum to which the Federal contribu-
ton has been whitfield down through
the years. There are several alter
native combinations of tax and con-
tribution increases which would
raise the money"
Taxes now feeding the general
fund are mainly the real estate,
personal income, corporate income
and inheritance levies Committee
suggestions, although not yet re-
Vealed, are understood to include a
sales tax and heavy increases in
liquor license fees. Since the COM
mlttee's program is not expected to
raise more than s20O0O,OOO, a min
mum increase of s10,OO0,OO0 in the
Federal payment would probably be
required, even assuming congress
sional approval of the $4,000, 900
sum now in the 1947 bill. The pay
ment has been around $4,000, 900
for the past decade.
Water Plans Drafted.
In the case of water improve
ments, financed out of water rates.
the schedule of needs was outlined
last winter in the 43-year expan-
sion program developed jointly by
Army Engineers and the District
Water Department. The first six
years call for $19,512,800 worth of
new facilities, of which some
s2,000,000 is carried in the 1947
budget.
To raise the rest of the water
money without raising water rates,

House Group Begins
Work on Increase in
Social Security Tax
BY the ks.ocioted Press

The House Ways and Means Com
mittee ordered work started today
on legislation calling for a so per
cent increase in Social Security
taxes for both employers and en-
ployes.
Chairman Doughton said Con-
gress, before it takes summer re-
cess, will consider the finished bill
proposing far-reaching changes in
the security law.
The committee yesterday voted
to blanket the families of all World
War II veterans under the old-age
and survivors insurance program,
without cost to veterans, for q
period of three years.
Major Changes Outlined.
1t yet is to act upon a proposal
for broading the program to in
clude some 100000 others not
now receiving coverage, such as
agriculture workers, self-employed
and domestic employees.
VAoJOi CiidIlSCS illus 1dI dpplOfcu
by the committee, subject to House
and Senate action, are:
l. Increase next January in the
old age and survivors insurance tax,
from the present l per cent to Is
per cent on employees pay and en-
ployers' payrolls. ...
Seamen Are Covered.
2. Blanketing of over 100000
maritime workers under the unem-
ployment compensation provisions
of the law, with jobless maritime
workers to receive benefits as fixed
by the State in which they reside.
If Congress approves the commit
tee recommendations on veterans
security insurance, the widow, chill
dren and dependent parents of
veteran who died within three years
after his discharge would receive
approximately s25 month each.
These benefits would run for chill
dren until they become 18 years
old, and for the widow until the
youngest child reaches 10. Veterans
already in covered employment and
entitled to larger insurance would
have these rights preserved

passed, review of coming in the
undeveloped areas and an increas-
ingly close coordination with ada
cent parts of the Metropolitan Area
Membership on the planning com.
mittee suggested by the report
should include the three Commits
sioners. who in addition also rep
resent the National Capital Park

ing Commission, the Public Utilities

Of the Central Labor Union, the
president of the District Bankers
Association, the president of the
Taxpayers Association, the presi-
dent OF the Federation of Business
mems Associations and four other
members to be selected by the Com
missioners.
Explaining his survey, Gen. Young
said absence of any comprehensive
plan has placed Washington in the
state of mind of sleeping man in
very tight suit of clothes"
"All the areas of such a mans
body are compressed and uncom-
Portable; each local nerve registers
that fact" he said, but the only
result is that he twists about and
has bad dreams. If he woke up and
realized what was the matter, he
would cease concentrating success
sively on local areas of discomfort
and get himself a new suit"
Sporadic dissatisfaction" of civic
groups with municipal government
defects stems largely from their not
seeing the whole picture, he de-
clared. Material for the overall sur
vey were readily at hand, he added,
and needed only to be studied sys-
tematically for coordination.

Escaped Nozi Found
Under Post EXCHANGE
After 3-Month Hunt
BY the Associated Press

TAMPA, Fla, June ia 49,
year-old German prisoner of
war, sought for more than
three months since his escape
from McDill Field Prisoners
Camp, was found yesterday
hiding in a burrow under the
fields post exchange.
Wearing a 3-inch beard, his
long black hair twisted and
matted, Johann Klapper
craWled meekly out of his bur
row when military police. in
vestigating a report OF someone
lurking in the area, discovered
his hideout.
Klapper said he had occupied
the den ever since his escape on
March IA, emerging at night to
gather scraps of food from
around mess halls.

Gen. Young said, I'VE must per-
suade the Federal Government to
pay for its water and must also
borrow little over $4,000, 0OO."
The schedule of borrowing.
continued, is part of a lol Term
schedule under which the debt
would rise to a maximum of So
100000 by 1857 and be paid off from
increasing income by 1866.
II Congress will not lend the
money the Engineer Commissioner
said. either the water rates must
be raised 60 per cent or we must
do without the improvements"
Scheduled improvements call for
building up the Dalecarlia filtration
plant, increasing supply by a dam
at Little Falls, number of storage
reservoirs in various sections of
town, and big cross town main to
improve distribution.
S47,s77,140 Traffic Plan.
A big traffic improvement pro-
gram is contemplated in proposed
expenditures under the highway
fund costing about s47,S77,14o The
construction will encompass automo-
tive and streetcar traffic and park
ing on the basis of a special traffic
study due for completion in four
months. Some '$5.477,00 of this
total cost is carried in the 1947
budget.
To make up a 1000, 900 shortage
in this fund if the Improvements
are carried out, Gen. Young recon-
mended a one-cent increase in the
gasoline tax to raise an additional
100000. He said additional sums
may be available through Federal
aid and the rest would have to be
borrowed.
Unless the basic causes of traffic
congestion are corrected" the study
said, "it will grow progressively
worse as new cars come on the
market. Decay and blighting of the
downtown business district is a very
definite danger"
Gen. Young charged a lack of
practical foresight on the part of
Federal agencies which planned and
Installed the Government agencies
for having packed the buildings In
the adjacent area to the downtown
section.
Alternative Subway Plans.
The Engineer Commissioner said
there are two alternative plans for
subways and there may be other
possibilities" Any plan, he said.
would cost s60,0000O0 over the next
six years, so he included the amount
without reference to any specific
subway
The Federal Government should
originally finance the whole subway
cost because it is largely responsible
for the traffic problem, according to
the study. with the District even
tually paying back half. Gen. Young
made it clear he felt the Capital
Transit Co. should not be required
to pay any Of it except certain
limited trackage costs.
Events such as the Wyatt housing
program may accelerate the pace of
the proposed municipal building,
according to Gen. Young. An &C
CELEBRATED further physical expansion
might telescope" large part Of
the demands into the first few Of
the six years, he observed. Hence
the need for swift study and de-
velopment of the final plan this
summer.
City public building must, in ad-
dition. be studied in relation to
Federal construction and the whole
in connection with the pattern of
the city, he continued. Considera-
ton should be given to recapture
