needed by the Government back to
useful civilian employment. Mr..
Halleck predicted that election Of
Republican President next year
would finish the job"
President Truman. Mr.. Halleck
charged. by his double veto Of the
Republican tax bill denied the
people tax relief through a fragrant
abuse of the presidential veto
power"
The founding fathers" he as
serted, had never intended the veto
should be used for that purpose. but
had intended that Congress should
determine the taxes the people
should pay.
Criticism Is Recalled.
Democratic opponents of the Re-
publican tax bill have attempted to
make it appear that the bill was for
relief of the wealthy and not the
poor and those in moderate circum-
stances. Mr.. Halleck said.
Here are some of the facts that
no amount Of Misrepresentation can
oblierate," he continued. "Of the
entire s4081 ,000, 900 of annual tax
relief provided in the bill, 63 per
cent was for persons receiving in
come of less than 5000 a year.
That So per cent was divided Al
per cent for those receiving less
than $1,000 and 1879 per cent for
those receiving between $1,000 and
s5,00o."
The cost Of Government, Mr..
Halleck said. represented by taxes
is one of the largest items in the
cost Of living.
I'VE are paying more to be gov
erned or mis-governed." he asserted,
than we pay for food. The total
of all taxes Is now about $50. .000, ,O00,-
900 year while in 1946 the total
food bill for the nation was between
$36, ,000,000.000 and s39, 600, 900 ,000."
Labor Law Praised.
In a discussion of the Taft
Hartley labor law, Mr.. Halleck said:
The law is a good law. 1t will
not prevent all strikes, but if
maladministration does not sabo-
tage it. it will bring a greater
measure of peace to the industrial
scene than we have known for
years"
In his reply, Mr.. Sullivan declared:
Eyes, the Republican Congress
delivers-but what?
1T delivers soak-the-poor,
coddle-t -the-rich tax reduction bill.
1t delivers the knife-in in n-th- back to
the hopes of veterans for a decent
place to live. 1t delivers a gun
point IS per cent rent increase that
was demanded by the real estate
lobby.
Yes. the Republican Congress
delivers. Turn the clock back
faster!' cry its reactionary masters.
Cut down school lunches for needy
children. Weaken the labor unions,
is the order from big business.

mixer of Taft and Halleck comes

Failure Of the House Appropria-
tions Committee to vote itself "ade-
quate staff members for the gigantic
job of going through the $35, ,00o,-
10000 budget with a fine tooth
comb" he continued, marked an
other departure from the reorgani-
zation plan. Although special in
vestigating staff was set up and per-
formed well during the session, only
five of its members were on a full
time basis and most of the others
were laid of during the recess Of
Congress"
He protested that with only Is
employees for the full House Appro-
priations Committee, considering a
$35 900 ,00o, 900 budget, each employe
would be responsible for a work load
in excess of $4,000, ,o0O. .o00." Failure
to employ additional experts on a
full-time basis, he said, would be
penny wise and pound foolish"
The work load on Congress could
be reduced still further If it granted
home rule for the District, Mr.. Mon

Transfer of the government OF
the District to home rule, as recon-
mended in the original reorganiza-

 Death Sentence

VENICE, LP)-A British mill tory court Tuesday sentenced Field Marshal Albert Kesselring forme: supreme German com mander n Italy, to death by shoot ing af.er convicting h'm of va" crimes against the Ital;aI p2op,e.
 Ke3- elriHa'S counse', D.. Hans Latecnse~. had declined to as; for c,enercy after the verdict was an- nounccd saying:
 "He expressly asked me not 70 address the court any further"
 The attorney said later, now ever, that he himself would "ap- pea. personally against the sen tence."
 C. L. Stirling, the judge advo- cate, announced that both the con vic,ion and the sentence were sub ject to review by the approDr.- ate military authority'--in this case, It. Gen. Sir John Harding, commander of British central Mediterranean forces.
 Kesselring was convicted on two counts, one of them accusing him of responsibility for the Ardeatjne Caves massacre in which 335 Italians died in reprisal for the killing of 32 German police troops.
 He was the third German off cer to be sentenced to death for that slaughter.

Will United States Defend Japan?

TOKYO CP)-Emperor Hirohito conferred with General MacAr- thus Tuesday for the fourth time, presumably on the new constitu- tion, and anxious Japanese imme- diately began to speculate on Whe- ther they discussed question which is paramount here: Twill the United States undertake the defense of Japan?"
 This has been a big question mark since announcement of the constitution last year, with it's rev. olutionary clause renouncing war and the maintenance of armed forces.
 No details of Tuesdays confer ence were announced, but Japan csc sources said it was a courtesy call to thank Macarthur for in auguration of the new charter which strips Hirohito of his po- litical powers. The two talked privately for an hour and IA min uteS.
 The Japanese government was known to be increasingly worried over the practicality of the "anti- war" constitution, particula r y since MacArthur proposed that Allied military forces be with drawn after an ''early" peace. It would be logical to assume Hiro- h:to might be primed to ask Americas intentions in this con- nection.
 The people generally believe the United States would protect Japan against an aggressor. But in the absence of specific guarantees, they have become increasingly nervous.
 It was understood that neither the recent elections nor the ques- tion of whether the country should choose a socialist or a conserva-

Opposes Exclusive Shipping Rights

WASHINGTON, (P) - Senator Gordon R.-OreJ protested to the maritime commission Mo n d y against any contract for an in terim steamship service to Alaska which gives exclusive operating rights to three companies.
 The commission under legisla- ton authorizing it to contract with private carriers for service until June 30, l948, had approved con- tracts giving three Seattle, Wash, firms the exclusive right to oper- ate the service. The government would furnish ships, pay the in surance and recapture 75 per cent of the profits. The companies are to stand any loss.
 Gordon in a letter to Vice Ad- miral William w. Smith, chair man of the commission, said the legislation did not authorize eX- elusive contracts.
 "The legislation was intended to benefit the people of the Terri tory of Alaska and not the steam ship operators" Condon said.
 He told Smith the commission should most thoroughly re-ex- amine its proposed action"
 The proposed contract was with the Alaska Steamship company, the Northland Transport { n company and the Alaska Trans portation company of Seattle. tive premier were discussed by MacArthur and Hirohito.

Denies Report
Ration Books
Being Printed
FEDERAL PRINTER POINTS
OUT NEITHER MONEY NOR
AUTHORITY PROVIDED FOR
BOOKS

WASHINGTON, Nov. ia
spokesman for the government
printing office today denied that
rationing books are being print
ed. A rumor that work had been
started on the books gained cur
rency as a result of what the
President said, in his message to
congress yesterday. about the
food situation in the United
States.
The spokesman said that. in the
first place, the printing office had
not been given any authority to
print the books; secondly. no
money has been appropriated to
pay for the printing. and, thirdly.
that, even had work been begun
on ratloning books, it would re-
quire three months before they
would be ready for distribution
to the public.
Republican leaders indicated
that they would not follow the
Presidents suggestions on the
food situation. 1t was not likely
that price controls will be eStab-
lished, except in few specified
cases.
It was added that Congress
probably will give the President
the $597,000,000 for which he
asked as stop-gap in providing
supplies for western Europe until
the Marshall Plan goes into effect.
However, it was added that the
President likely will not get the
SIS billion to pay for the operation
of the Marshall Plan for the first
year of it's existence.

said in his message for the relief
of Europe, and 81 of the % Paris
