appeal hearing before John New marker l was not permitted to have an attorney" The record proves that MT Conrad was furnished with the same statement of procedure for holding the hear ing as was transmitted to me by the Director of the Department of Public Welfare, which procedure specifically states in part: The appointee shall inform in writing the appellant of his right to be represented, or accompanied by any friend, relative or others ac- quainted with his case. The ap- pellant shall be entitled to and may subpoena witnesses and ad- minister paths to witnesses. He shall be entitled to cross examine any witnesses, inspect evidence submitted at the. hearing, and in all otter respects pertinent to the hearing be entitled tc present any and all evidence substantiating the circumstances of his case '
 I personally asked MT. Conrad if he understood his rights under the procedure and if he wanted an attorney He informed me that he did, and did not want a lawyer and preferred to tell his story in his own way
 There was also no loaded op- position of government officials" as charged by MT Conrad; and his allegation that te couldn't tell his side of it is absolutely false as attested by the one witness who was present.
 Before adjourning the ,iea1ing, l asked MT Conrad if ke had any additional evidence or facts to bring forth and he declared that he had told his entire story and felt that it was sufficient evidence to sutstantiate his request for re- storation of his grant to the former amount. No steps were
 
 taken in the conduct of the hear ing which were not mutually agreeable.
 l personally investigated the items of need which MT. Conrad claimed and found them to be accurate This investigation was at his invitation, as well as enc of my duties, and my findings and recommendation were made in accordance with the law and regulations and standards of the Department of Public Welfare I am unable to understand how MT. Conrad can at this time charge that his rights were violated in any respect, as each step of the hearing was conducted with his agreement and consent and in &C., cordance with the Department of Public Welfare regulations per taining to fair hearings proceed ures. His charges against me in the conduct of the hearing are ab- solutely false and he is either be- ing deliberately mislead or could never understand at any time in my personal contact with him, what was transpiring.
 l would appreciate it if you could accord this letter publicity in your newspaper in order that ] may have opportunity to reply to his charges and that the pub lie may judge for itself, the true story of the proceedings.
 Very truly yours.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21-(PEThe
cotton futures market closed firm
today with gains of 80 cents to
S1.2O a bale over the previous close
on a late furry of mill buying
against textile sales.
During the session the market
fluctuated indecisively, largely in
fluenced by evening up operations
in the March contract, prior to
first notice day next Tuesday.
There was a fair amount of switch
ing from March into later months.
Prices in early trading tempor-
arily reacted as hedging by lead
ing spot firms met indifferent
trade buying.
Private advices noted increased
buying of spot cotton at primary
markets.
Producers sold cotton on the
rising market rejecting the grow

staple. Some traders turned hest
tant on continued talk that the
cotton export subsidy might be
eliminated entirely.
Futures closed 80 cents to $1.20

$4K Billion Tax
 Cut For Wealthy Opposed By Wolf
AFL Leader Says Low In- Come Groups Would
 Bear Burden

Washington (LPA)-The Special Tax Study Committee advising the House Ways X Means Committee will cost the federal government nearly $4R billion if its proposals are adopted, AFL Executive Coun- cil member Matthew WolI charged this week.
 Woll, who was a one-man minority on the committee headed by Roswell Magill, prominent corporation tax lawyer from New York, supplemented his minority report this week with new calculations of the revenue losses that would come from the majority $ recommendations.
 NOT PRACTICAL
 Since, in the discussions at the committee meetings, the assumption was that these changes approved by the majority would be given first pri- ority after enactment of the across the-board tax cut proposals of Rep. Harold Knutson (R., Minn.)." Woll pointed out, "a pattern for revenue loss of approximately $85 billions at present levels of income has been laid out by the committee majority.
 'sThe majority's recOmmenda- tions are neither practical nor equitable" Won reported. ''They are not practical in that they sug- gest reductions far greater in ex- tent than present or anticipated revenue needs for at least the next two or three years will permit.
 "They are not equitable because, with few minor exceptions, they pro pose major tax relief for those in the upper income brackets. It should be borne in mind that after the tax re- duction of $8,5 billions proposed by Knutson and the ajority of the tax study committee have been made, the low income groups would still be paying heavy income and excise taxes"
