ATC Grounds AIIC-54s
For Tail Inspections
BY the Associated Press

The Army's Air Transport Com
mand announced today it has tenn
porarily grounded its world wide
fleet of 1914 C-54 Douglas Sky
masters as safety precaution' to
permit inspection of tail fittings
The action was taken yesterday,
an ATC statement said, after
routine field reports indicated that

ment fittings were loose and
sheared in some C-54s." The planes
are expected to be back in service
within a couple Of days.
'The measure is routine Army

inasmuch as no ATC C-54s have
been found in such condition in

said, adding that the feet has flown
745, 900 900 miles in the last year
and a half.
A C-54 converted for Eastern
Airline Service crashed last week
at Port Deposit, Md, with loss of
So lives. James M Lands, chair
man of the Civil Aeronautics Board,
has reported that structural failure
in the tail assembly was clearly
Indicated" although the exact cause
has not been determined.
In response to a question, an
ATC officer told reporter that as
far as he knew there was no direct
connection between the Port Deposit
disaster and the order grounding
the ATC C-54s.
The new inspections are estimated
to require only about an hour for
each plane. Unless discrepancies
are found in the tail fittings" ATC
added, all the planes viii be back
on flying schedules by the end of

Assistant Secretary of State
Hilldring today declared that the
United States should take the

Mr.. Hilldring testified before a
House Judiciary Subcommittee in
support of the bill to lift immigra-

permit 100000 displaced persons to
enter this country during the next
four years.
Representative 'Stratton, Republi-

amendments of minor Importance.
Fear of Communism.
THE basic fact is he said, that
the displaced persons come from
areas which have not come to be
dominated by the Soviets. They are
unwilling and fear to return to those
areas precisely because they are now
dominated by Communists govern
ments."
Representative Mason, Republic

D. {. Fiscal Plan
Approved, Isl,
BY House Group
Amendment Calls for
Cos Tux Increase
Until July, 1852
By John W. Thompson, Jr.


In a race against time. the
House District Committee, by a
roll-call vote of Is to 2, today
reported out a slightly amended
version of the new $13,500, 900
money-raising program for the
Capital.
Action followed reminder from
Chairman Dirksen that unless the
bill could be brought to the fioor
Monday, House action would be de-
1ayed until June %, the next Dis
trict day. Thus, he pointed out,
only eight days would be left for
the measure to clear the Senate
before the beginning of the new
fiscal years.
The two votes against the bill
came from Democrats, Representa-
tive Mcmillan of South Carolina
and Davis of Georgia.
One of the changes would make
the proposed 1-cent increase in the
gasoline tax temporary, with the tax
reverting to the present 3 cents per
gallon after July /. 1852.
Another would exempt from the
proposed new income, tax interest
paid by District corporations on Sc
curities held by out-of-State groups.
Almost Halts in Committee.
The program almost failed to get
out of the committee today when
Representative O'Hara, Republican,
of Minnesota proposed an amend
ment exempting from payment Of
the new income tax all Federal en-
ployes who can prove legal resi-
dence in a State.
The proposal resulted in several
sharp exchanges between Mr..
OHara and Representative Bates Of
the Fiscal subcommittee which
drafted the income levy and of
which Mr.. O'Hara also was a
member
When the debate threatened to
stall action on the bill, Mr.. O'Hara
called for a vote on his amendment.
1t was defeated, IL to 4.
Mr.. Bates, Republican, of Massa-
chusetts told his colleagues MIR.
OHara's amendment strikes at the
heart of the proposed revision of
the present personal income levy.
He added that he had been unsuc-
cessful in getting Mr.. O'Hara to at
tend subcommittee meetings.
O'Hara Refers to His Bill.
Mr.. O'Hara retorted that he had
been unable to attend, but had re-
ferred Mr.. Bates to the so-called
O'Hara bill of the last Congress for
his views on exemptions for Federal
employees.
The OHara bill, he said, was
locked up in the Rules Commit
tee, by Representative Smith, DEM
oerat, of Virginia.
This drew from Judge Smith
reply that the bill had passed the
House without his knowledge. He
added:
Il think you open up very de-
batable subject here. If you put
that language into the bill, you will
destroy its fabric and open ths
door to evasion of taxes"
Under the Bates revision of the
present income levy, actual resi-
dence, in addition to legal residence.

Tulk to Nation
BY the Associated Press

BUENOS AIRES, June g.
President Juan D. Peron was
confronted today by new opposi-
ton at home, apparently be-
cause of policies he adopted to
restore friendly relations be-
tween Argentina and the United
States.
An unidentified voice mysteriously
broke into a nation wide presiden-
tial broadcast last night with the
shout: Death to Peron," and there
were indications that the inter-
rupter was an extreme Argentina
nationalist affronted by the resig-
nation Wednesday of Federal Po-
lice Chief Juan Filomeno Velazco.
Gen. Velazco's resignation, under
circumstances strongly suggesting
that he had been dismissed on Gen.
Perons order, previously had been
interpreted as a measure designed
to cement friendship between Ar
gentina and the United States.
Gen. Velazco was known as a leader

Fistic Battle Marks
Subway Showdown
BY the Assoeiated Press

NEW YORK, June 6.-The Board
of Transportation today reported
the first incident of violence in the
book of rules" showdown operation
of the citys 740-mile subway system
now in its second week.
Board officials described the Incl
at the offices of an Interboro Rapid
Transit Line Manhattan shop as
quite battle" A board spokes-
man said a general work stoppage
of approximately 1000 shop workers
resulted.
The disturbance occurred, the
spokesman said, as result of efforts
by members of the Transport Work
ers' Union, CIO, to prevent John
j. McEwan, field representative OF
the boards labor relations division
from talking to two representatives
of the Civil Service Forum. The
spokesman said he understood the
group used their fists and subway
police were rushed to the scene, but
he did not know whether any one
was injured.
There very likely will be suspen-
sionS and charges against the ring
leaders," he said.
The showdown began Monday OF
last week when some subway en-
ployes, as protest against labor
policies of the Board of Transpor-
tation, started following closely the
book of rules" in rounding curves
and keeping doors of cars open at
stations until all passengers entered
the trains.
Another development came last
night when Michael j. Quill, city
councilman and international pres
ident of the union, announced that
the Board of Transportation had
permitted inspection standards to
drop. He said .'the men will refuse
to operate faulty equipment and
this can lead to stoppage" of sub

Labor Curbs as

By the Assoeinted Pres.

Senator Murray, Democrat, of
Montana said today the Taft

sis to !. the unquestioned
sook man of our economic
stem.
Senator Murray assailed the bill
to restrict union activities as the
Republican leadership drove for a
final Senate vote and dispatch of
the legislation to the White House
by nightfall
The Montana Senator told his
colleagues that the compr omise bill,
already approved by the House,
means '1abor is to be put in its
place, stripped of many of It's essen
tial rights, and SO battered and
weakened as to be Ineffective here
after at the bargaining table.
Inevitably labor will seek to
elude the chains fashioned for 1t.
This means conflict and chaos be-
tween labor and management as
long as this effort to gain the upper
hand continues"
Supporters See Peace.
Proponents of the bill contend
that the measure will encourage
industrial peace by ''equalizing" the
rights and responsibilities of en-
ployers, workers and unions.
In a section by secsion analysis,
Senator Murray criticized changes
made in the original Senate bill by
House conferees who ironed
out differences between separate bills
passed by the two branches.
Can any one boasting allegiance
to the principles of liberty and free
dom survey the Uttered wreckage of
the Wagner collective bargaining)
Act and take pride in such
vandalism" he asked.
Senator Murray, who lost the
craftsmanship of the Senate Labor
Committee to Senator Taft, Repub-
lican, of Ohio when the Republicans
took control of Congress, told the
Senate sit is with real disappoint-
ment that I survey the work of this
Congress on labor problems"
Sees Rights Removed.
Declaring it was announced at the
outset that we were to be fair" Sen
ator Murray said the labor bill has
given workers and trade unions no
new right or privilege" and that "to
the contrary, it has removed most of
those which they enjoyed. We
must concede the fact that the bill
is only in the interest of employers
and that fairness played no part in
its drafting or passage"
Senator Taft stood pat on. his
prediction that the bill will be-
come law even if President Truman
vetoes it. That means the Ohio
Senator is confident the Senate will
muster at least a two thirds major
ity on passage and maintain the
margin on veto test, If it comes.
House Republicans have no doubt
their chamber can overcome any
presidential dissent. The House
passed the compromise bill by a
vote of 800 to 70. better than to /.
Senator Taft had expected to get
final vote yesterday, but he aban-
doned hope when foes of the bill
insisted on making lengthy speeches
against it.
