H. j. Bernstein of Richmond, Va,
yesterday was sentenced to a year
and day in prison and fined total
OF $4,000 by Federal Judge Albert
V. Bryan in Alexandria on charges
OF income tax evasion.

to information that charged him
with making a s85l21 underpayment
on his personal income tax and a
IS 1863 SO underpayment on the tax
for the Ideal Home Equipment Co.,
which he headed, in 194l.
According to the Government in
formation, Bernstein should have
paid $4,734 in personal income taxes
and 1882 in taxes for his company
that year.

stein padded the payrolls of his
company with fictitious names and

sentence begin February in order
to give Bernstein sufficient time to
arrange for the operation OF his

Union Suggests Arbitration
On Ship Radiomen S Pay
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-The CLIO
American Communications Associa-
ton has proposed that It's demand
for a Is per cent pay increase for
about 1000 seagoing radio operators
be submitted to arbitration, but the
suggestion so far has gone unan-
swered by spokesman for 40 Atlantic
and Gulf Coast ship owners and
agents.
The union suggestion was made
yesterday after a conference with
the ship owners failed to bring
agreement in negotiations over
wages. Another conference between
union officials and ship owners was
scheduled for today.
At the end Of the days session, a
spokesman for the ship owners
committee said present monthly
earnings OF typical radio officer
on an American freight ship, ex-
Guiding free board and lodging, are
$368.26. The union has completely
ignored the fact that men aboard
ship receive first-class board and
lodging at no cost to themselves. -
Murray Winocur, president of the
unions Atlantic district, described
this statement as showing the
pathetic length to which the COM
panies must go in order to justify
their refusal to grant wage in
creases. Even landlubbers are we'll
aware that the men who 60 to sea
have to pay rent and meet grocery
bills in order to maintain their
families"

points in President Truman's 10.

extension of export and transporta

bill.
The committee will meet agair
tomorrow to draft a report, with
the expectation of bringing up the
measures when Congress meets

Other points in the Presidents

Republican controlled committee
were consumer credit controls (the

change speculation. expansion of the
Agriculture Departments program
to encourage grain conservation or
the farm and to increase food pro-
duction abroad and voluntary meas
ures to induce the marketing by
farmers of livestock and poultry at
grain saving weights.
The President had asked for au-
thority to impose the marketing re-
quirements but the committee ap-
proved only voluntary plan.

voting on the Wolcott bill, Repre-

A quick decision by the NLRB and
perhaps a quick injunction to be in

given Mr.. Denham enough prestige To

In sessions overshadowed by the
abrupt death Of General Counsel Jo-
