It's members, rather than test for
top-fight pros. It did boast, how
ever, one hole, the thirteenth, which
would try the skill Of the world S
best. Many Midvale members had
protested this hole, but the terrain
was such that the committee could
do little about changing it. Two hum
dred and fifty yards from the tee,
just far enough to catch the duffer' s
second or third, the fairway ended
and dropped abruptly into a gully
about fifty feet deep. This gully,
with excellent turf, stretched ap-
proximately hundred yards along
the bottom before the start of the
rise back to the second section OF
fairway.
Arriving at the thirteenth, Lane
still retained his one up lead Of the
morning round. He had played
steady golf and two or three times
he had fought off brilliant play by
Young which threatened his slender

lacing his shoes when Young en-
tered, held out his hand and in a
voice loud enough to carry, said:
Good luck, Merit"
Lane promptly acknowledged and
returned the wish in kind, but
thought, Still playing to the gal
lery."
There was quite crowd at the
first tee and for the first time Lane
felt a bit squeamish in the stomach.
On the tee itself he saw young
Willie Hopper waiting with his
clubs; young Willie, freckled-faced,
snub-nosed and hardly a dandy in
his well-worn denim pants and
khaki shirt; Willie, loyal and capa-
BILE at his job-the thought made
Lane feel better. He caught a
glimpse Of Kay standing in the
crowd well back of the tee. Lane
waved, she smiled and waved back.
in encouragement, he hoped.
They drove off, straight and far.
Arizona sun., 1947-08-01

ITO LANE MERIT there was
L more than the title of club golf
champion at stake in today's match
very much more, indeed. There
was, for instance, the need to wipe
out this Donald Young's attempt to
hurniliate Lane the evening before,
after the semi-f1nals, when he. called
across the club dining room: "How
about a little bet on the match to-
morrow, Merit? Say, $4,000 or so?"
1t was deliberate, and Lane
thought, cheap try to embarrass
him, for Young, and the others,
knew Lane didn't have $1,000. Old
Pop Weller, sitting with Lane, had
glanced at him to see how he was
taking it. He hesitated and then
called to Young: "Tn take that
$1,000 bet! And the So can be any
thing you want to make it!" Lane
had looked appealingly at Pop and
pleaded: Don't do it, Mr.. Weller"
But Pop snorted: "It's about time
that show-off was taken down peg
or two" Under the circumstances
there was nothing for Young to do
but accept the bet, but Lane sensed
he wasn't too keen about it.
And then, most important Of all,
there was Kay Cawley. Now, up to
a few months before, to the Cawley
and Merit families and, naturally.
Kay and Lane, the future was def
nitely settled for these two. Then
Young entered the picture with his
f1ashy man-of-the-world manners,
clothes and swank car And he pro-
ceeded to give Kay the rush of that
young lady's life. Lane was hurt,
but somehow it all seemed so right.
Not that he blamed Kay. She was
young, pretty, and bubbling with
enthusiasm for life. She deserved
adulation and also the good times
that Lane, just making his start,
was unable to provide. In fact, with
out his fathers help, he would have
had to relinquish his membership in
the Midvale Country Club. At best
it would be two or more years be-
fore he could rightly ask Kay to set
the wedding date
At breakfast Lane gave thought to
his problems. He wanted to win for
his own sake; he wanted to taste
the sweetness of victory over that
blow-hard, Young; he wanted to
win for Pop Weller, fine sport,
gentleman and friend that he was;
and most of all, he wanted to win
back Kay. OF course, winning golf
match wouldn't be enough for this
last, but it might help.
Lane arrived at the club a good
half hour before the time set for the
start of the finals, and as he drove
his modest coupe into the grounds
he saw Young on the practice tee.
''Mmmm-m," he thought, ''the guy
can't be too confident"
AS he made his way through the
locker-room to his alley Lane was
hailed from all sides with "good
luck wishes. Strangely, he felt
none of the excitement which
seemed to fill the room He knew
that, besides Pop Weller's large bet,
much money had been wagered on
Che outcome of the match.
He dressed leisurely and he was

with Young's ball stopping a few
yards out in front. They halved the
first hole in par figures and that's
the way it went until the seventh
when Lane rolled in long, curling
putt for par to Young's bogie five,
to 60 one up. Lane held that lead
until the twelfth when Young
birdied the short hole after his iron
shot from the tee had stopped a
scant foot from the cup. Lane went
one up again at the seventeenth
when Young's second found deep
trap off the green. And that's how
the morning round ended.
Gallery and players trooped into
the club dining room for lunch. The
big room was noisy with the clatter
of dishes and the chatter at the
tables as shots of the round were
talked over and replayed. Pop
Weller sat with Lane. 'You played
fine golf, my boy, but / think, on one
or two occasions, a little too safe.
Don't let my bet disturb you. Lane.
Win, lose or draw, the dickens with
it. 1t doesn't mean thing to me,
except the satisfaction I'll get when
I collect it from that phony."
At two the second round started.
Now, Midvale was no heart-break-
ing course. Tough enough and long
enough, but an intelligent golf COM
mittee had pointed to make it inter-
esting and suitable to the games of

ployed in her fathers Office in the
new House Office Building, was on
leave and had not expected to work
today.
A member of Congress since 1918,
Mr.. Reed was at his home In Dun
kirk, N. Y. An hour and half
after the tragedy, Representative
Reed called his office and said he
had heard something had hap
pened"
His secretary was so overcome by
the news she was unable to talk to
Mr.. Reed, and a secretary to another
Representative was obliged to tell
him. Shocked, Mr. Reed did not
indicate whether he planned to come
to Washington.
Friends of Miss Reed said she had
been moody recently and appeared
to be brooding about something
Homicide squad detectives said she
had been in i'll health and under the
care of DR.. Edward w. Nicklas.
Lived at Hotel Two Years.
Miss Reed was killed while many
of the hotels 725 tenants were
hurrying off to work. The Meridian
Hill has been occupied only by
women Government workers for the
last five years. Miss Reed had lived
there since 1915.
She was active in clubs for con-
gressional workers, and recently re-
signed as chairman of the Associate
Members of the Congressional Club
on New Hampshire avenue. When
she resigned she gave the excuse OF
being too busy, one friend said.
The Reeds also have a son, Will
liam Ticknor, who is deputy SER
geant at arms of the Senate. Mrs.
Reed served as president of the
Congressional Club in 1878 and
last year was parliamentarian.
Representative Reed has served
the 45th district of New York since
1918 without interruption. He is a
member of the House Committee on
Ways and Means. the Joint Commit
tee on Taxation and the Republican

| so 1t must pay surtax. If it chooses
to distribute those earnings to stock
holders, an income tax must be paid
by the stockholders. they noted.
1--WE are not making any claim of
fraud" Senator Williams declared.
This section of the revenue law is
not predicated on fraud. A corpo-
ration does not have to pay divi-
dends. But there is an extra surtax
penalty If it does not pay divi-
dends."
Part of Earnings Invested.
The Delaware Senator, in ques-
tioning Mr.. Bellino. said the evi-
dence indicated that the earnings
left to accumulate in the Hughes
corporation we're not designed or
needed for expansion of the COM
pany. He said part of them were
invested in or lent to Trans World
Airlines, "a nonrelate business" !"
Some of this investment, however,
was made in 1940-41, the Senator
noted.
The witness produced figures
showing that the Hughes company
had profits of $15,526,0 600 from 1912
to 1912, inclusive, after payment of
taxes, and that approximately
81 ZOO, 900 was paid to Mr.. Hughes
the sole owner. the rest was re-
tanned by the corporation as "un-
distributed profits" he testified. Mr..
Hughes paid personal income taxes
totaling $685., ,413 during those years,
| the record showed.
| A summary table supplied by Mr..
Bellino indicated tax deficiencies of
81 ,633 900 for 1945, and 1853 900 for
1916. Besides this total indicated
deficiency of $3,50l 900 there was an
additional tax deficiency of $2,418,9 ,921
reported recently by the Internal
Revenue Bureau. Mr.. Bellino stated.
He added that the bureau had dis
allowed claim by the company
in 1945 for a $1,256, ,185 loss on the
big flying boat. That was the plane
Mr.. Hughes launched, last Sunday
and flew for short distance. Mr..
Bellino explained that the 1915
Hughes claim was turned down be-
cause the law allows such loss de-
auctions only for the year in which
they were actually incurred. No
such loss has yet been incurred on
the plane, he declared
Report on Annual Net.
Annual net earnings of the
Hughes company, according to Mr..
Eellino's report, were $1.525,00 in
1912, $3,298, 900 in 1943, $3,293. 900 in
1914, $2,52S,OO0 in 1945, including
the disallowed $1.256,1s5 claim, and
81, 1892 900 in 1916.
Senators Hatch, Democrat, of New
Mexico and O'Conor, Democrat, of
Maryland brought out in question
ing of Mr.. Bellino that there had
been mo concealment" in records
of the Hughes company and that
the Internal Revenue Bureau has
made no final determination" on
the tax questions.
Earlier testimony centered on

as the Hughes tendency to deal
with Washington" directly.
Mr.. Perrelli indicated, in reply
to Senator Ferguson, that much
of the difficulties at the plant
stemmed from the Hughes habit
of going out of channels in con-
nection with the contract.
The former Hughes manager was
todays first witness after the sub
committee heard a brief echo of
yesterdays declaration by a COM
mittee assistant that the Hughes
Tool Co. should pay a $5,919,921
"tax deficiency" on reported net
earnings of $15,526, 900 from 1912
10 1916.
Thomas A. Slack, attorney for Mr.
Hughes, declared the Hughes organ
tization would not obtain a fair
hearing on these matters before
the subcommittee and therefore
would rely on the proper tribunals
for adjudication of the issue.
He accused the committee of hav-
ing secretly tried to persuade. the
Internal Revenue Bureau ito adopt
one view or another with respect
to taxes of the Hughes Tool Co."
Conflict Is Seen.
The Revenue Bureau evidence, ac-
cording to Senator Williams, Re-
publican, of Delaware, conflicts with
statements by the millionaire manu-
facturer and film producer to the
subcommittee last August that his
company made no overall profit as
result of the war.
Testimony on this matter by Car
mine S Bellino, the staff assistant
and former chief of the FBI account
ing unit, brought an exciting end to
an otherwise quiet first day of the
reopened public hearings.
The free-for all financial argu-
ment broke out when Mr.. Slack and
Noah Dietrich, executive vice presi-
dent of the Hughes Tool Co., took
the stand voluntarily to defend the
Hughes statement They heatedly
attacked the subcommittee for
bringing up the tax questions prior
to final determination by the In
ternal Revenue Bureau.
No Fraud Involved.
Senator Ferguson, Senator Will
liams and Mr.. Bellano emphasized
no fraud was involved in the ap-
parent tax deficiency. They. ex-
planned the $5,919,921 aggregate
total is the tax due on earnings
allowed to accumulate in the Hughes
Tool Co. instead of being distributed
as dividends to Mr.. Hughes, the sole
owner and stockholder.
The revenue code provides, they
said, that a corporation can choose
to retain such earnings but If it does

inside" or outside" pressure which
witnesses said was exerted in behalf
Of the Hughes contracts.
Inside Pressure Charged.
Elliott Roosevelt was described by
Ralph r. Graichen, civilian chief of
engineering and research in the Air
Force during the war, as having
used inside pressure" in the War
Department in urging adoption OF
the Hughes photo reconnaissance
plane.
The witness declared Mr.. Roose-
welt, at the time colonel command
ing a photo reconnaissance unit in
Europe, lacked the background,
education and experience" to qualify
him to declare the plane was the
best of its kind available, Mr.
Graichen said.
The then Col. Roosevelt, according
to testimony at the hearings last
summer, recommended the Hughes
plane that was subsequently ordered
under a $22,000,000 contract.

of communism in Europe" one
member said.
The committee was reported still
at odds over Mr.. Herter's proposal
that Congress set up an emergency
foreign reconstruction authority to
handle the major part of the For
eign aid program. Several men,
bers said they feel this would be
an invasion of the executive branch
of the Government and that the
State Department should admin
lister the program.
Another controversy revolves
around the countries TO get aid,
and with the restrictions under
which it is to be given.
Incentive Basis Urged.
Senator Balls plan is essentially
that economic rebuilding materials
be furnished on an incentive quota
basis.
AS he explained the plan, coun-
tries which could show increases in
their home production in semi
yearly surveys would continue to
draw full American aid, while those
who indicated less inclination to
help themselves would be penalized.

Jury Gets Suit Today
OF Woman Charging
Asylum 'Ralroading'
BY the Assoeioted Press

BALTIMORE, Nov. 6.-With tes-
tinony completed, the $250,000 civil
suit brought by Mrs. Melissa Rowe,
Sc, of Brentwood, Md, who claims
she was "railroaded" to Spring
Grove State Hospital, was due to
go to Federal Court jury today.
Mrs. Rowe contends she was de
prived of her civil rights" as a re-
suit of conspiracy by relatives
and friends. She was at the institu-
ton for 26 days in 1943.
The defendants, all of whom took
the stand to deny the existence OF
conspiracy" include:
Former Trial Magistrate Walter
L. Green of Hyattsville, DR.. Silas w.
Weltmer, superintendent of Spring
Grove; DR.. Thomas A. Christensen
of College Park and DR.. John T
Maloney of Cheverly, who signed
medical certificates that Mrs. Rowe
was of 'unsound mind: Chief Ralph
w. Brown of the Prince Georges
County police, Mrs. Annie Huber OF
Bladensburg, Conrad Huber and
John Carroll Guise of Baltimore.
The defense rested after Mr.. Greer
denied he signed commitment pa
pers because he was infatuated
with Mrs. Rowe's thrice-married
daughter, Mrs. Florence Pearson
35-year-old blond.
Mrs. Rowe had charged he used
his official powers to get her out
of the way"
mo truth whatsoever to her
charge" Mr.. Green testified. He
claimed he saw Mrs. Pearson only

cial business"

tables by giving Mr.. Perrelli a go
day ultimatum" to quit or be thrown
out" Mr.. Perrelli revealed. Mr.
Meyer subsequently backed down,
the witness added.
"Mr. Meyer at that time was clas-
sified as public relations director,

ordinate named Burke actually ham
died all the public relations.

what doing?" Subcommittee
Chairman Ferguson asked.
IT never found out"
Didn't he get a draft exemption
by virtue of his job as public re-
lations director in the war contract
work at the Hughes plant?' the
Michigan Senator queried.
"Mr. Meyer was on the payroll, but
not on the job in spite of the fact
that he secured a selective service
deferment," the witness responded.
Mr.. Perrelli, reading letters he
wrote to Mr.. Hughes at the Time
went into great detail about his as-
sociation with the company and che
difficulties he said he had in start
ing almost from scratch in installing
efficient engineering and personnel
methods and planning for man pre-
duction.
Complete Control Promised.
He said he joined the Hughes Or
ganization in 1914 on promise by
Mr.. Hughes that he would have
complete control in production ac-
tivity. He said he had been con-
cerned by rumors that Brig. Gen
Bennett E. Meyers, then Air Force
deputy chief of procurement, was
slated to be employed by Mr.. Hughes
after the war. Mr.. Hughes, he said
told him there was nothing to the
reports and that there would be no
conflicting control or responsibility
in the plants production direction.
Despite its urgency, the photo re-
connaissance plane did not have a
high priority at the plant when he
became production manager, he
said, its design being only about 40
per cent finished.
Il also found considerable lack
of respect for constituted authority
at the plant" he continued. Mr..
Hughes got out of the picture COM
pletely at that time and was gone
for three months. He gave me no
help in fixing responsibility
The witness agreed with Senator
Ferguson that it seemed inconsist-
ent' that armed services officials
did not insist that the company i'm
prove its efficiency and adopt neces-
sary mass production methods in
view of the urgency of the contract.
Protested Hughes Actions.
Mr.. Perrelli read a letter in which
he protested to Mr.. Hughes in 1914
that he was not, given unrestricted
control" that had been promised
him. The letter also protested
against what Mr.. Perrelli regarded

Foreign Aid
Continued From First Page

Western Europe came from the spe-
cial House Committee on Foreign
Aid met again today after two ses-
sions had failed to bring unanlmlty
on any specific recommendations.
After a closed meeting which
lasted three hours, members of the
committee said action is being
slowed down by an effort to get
unanimous agreement on the report.
The proposal to apportion Ameri-
can aid on the basis OF what the
recipients do for themselves was
advanced by Senator Ball, Repub-
lican, of Minnesota, a member of
the Senate Appropriations Commit
tee which will pass on the admins
tration's recovery program.
At the same time Chairman VAN
denberg of the Senate Foreign Re
lations Committee was expected to
announce a time schedule of COM
mittee hearings on both stop-gap
aid plans and the overall Marshall
plan.
Expressing hope of some agree
ment today or tomorrow, Acting
Chairman Herter of the House For
eign Aid Committee said some
progress" has been made by the
committee, which conducted a
lengthy on-the- scene inquiry into
the European situation last sum-
mer. He would not amplify.
Several members reported almost
general agreement on two points:
l. That the committee should
limit itself now to an emergency
program for France and Italy, ano
possibly England, and 90 that il
should recommend that the Army
give Germany all possible help ir
restoring her industrial capacity.

ment that Germany is our mair
