'Stassen Fears Ball
Goes Too Far With
Labor Control Bills
Seven Labor Measures
And Portal Pay Suits
Put Ahead in Senate
BY The Associated Press

Bills to wipe out about $4,000,-
000,000 of union portal-pay suits
got head start over other labor
legislation yesterday as a Senate
Judiciary Subcommittee set
hearings for Wednesday.
Seven other major bills, among 80
or more already introduced that
deal with unions are slated for early
| attention but the House and Senate
Labor Committees have not vet
begun work on them.
Meanwhile, Harold E. Stassen,
former Minnesota Governor who is
seeking the Republican nomination
for President in 1948, said there is
some danger of going too far" in
flabor legislation.
Three of the seven major bills
are sponsored by Senator Ball, also
Minnesota Republican. Mr.. Stas-
sen told a news conference yester-
day that all three "go too far" He
was talking about bills by Senator
Ball which would outlaw the closed
shop and industry bargaining,
and the Ball-Taft-Smith bill which
is a revised version of last years
Case bill.
Centers Around Wagner Act.
Mr.. Stassen's own labor program
centers around amending the Wag-
ner Act but avoiding compulsion as
far as possible. Mr.. Stassen is not a
member of Congress.
Senator Capehart, Republican, of
Indiana, sponsor of one bill to offset
portal-pay claims, will be the first
witness before the Judiciary Com
mittee Wednesday. Chairman Wiley
of the Judiciary Committee has in
troduced another measure.
Senator Donnell, Republican, OF
Missouri, subcommittee chairman
announced the hearings will be pub
lie. He told reporters that witnesses
will be required 80 far as practi-

covering their proposed testimony
a day in advance of their appear
ance. The other subcommittee men,
bers are Senators Cooper, Repub-

Albanian Note Rejects
British Demand for
Apology in Ship Loss
Codoeon to Press
For Early Hearing of
Complaint in U. N.
By the Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Jan. II.
The British made public today
"a long Albanian note fatty re-
jecting a London demand for an
apology and compensation for
mine damage to two British de-
stroyers and the loss of A sailors.
simultaneously, a British spokes-
man said Sir Alexander Cadogan,
United Kindom delegate to the
United Nations Security Council
would press for an early and COM
plete airing of his governments
charges against Albania. These
were filed last night in the first case
Britain has brought before the
Council.
The British do not desire to OBJ
struct the Council debate on arms
limitation, this spokesman said, but
they believe the Council can take
I'D the Albanian case in separate
session before the arms talks are
ended.
May Open Case Late In Week.
The Council, set to continue the
arms discussion Wednesday, may
start on the Albanian case late next
week, one delegate indicated.
United Nations observers pointed
out that Britain may tangle with
Soviet Russia when the case is dis
cussed. Russia fought for Albania's
admission to the United Nations last
year, but was unsuccessful in the
face of British and United States
opposition.
Sir Alexanders letter to the
United Nations accompanying the
notes said that Albania's answer tc
the British protest was entirely un-
satisfactory"
The case began last October q
when the bows of two British de-
stroyers were damaged by mines OH
the Albanian coast in the Corfu
channel, and A sailors were killed.
Albania Lodged Protest.
Albania lodged protest with the
United Nations against alleged vio-
lations of Albanian waters by Brit
ish ships.
On December 9, the British in q
note to Albania demanded an apol-
ogy and reparations under threat
of taking the affair to the Security
| Council.
Albania, in the reply released by
the British, turned down the de-
mand for reparations and for COM
pensation for the officers and men
who were killed; refused to apol-
ogize; called the incident an "acci-
dent" for which the Albanian
government was not responsible, and
indirectly laid the blame on the
Greek government, with which
Albania is at odds. This note was
dated December 81.
Albania said that If the mining
had been done Intentionally, 1t
could only have come from those
who wish to disturb the relations

Mccormack Concede.
Probable Passage
OF 70 Pei. Taxcut
Minority Whip Assoils
Bill as Republicans
5s
Study Truman Budget
BY the Associated Press

Representative Mccormack of
Massachusetts,, House Demo-
cratic whip, yesterday conceded
probable House passage of 20
per cent reduction in income
taxes, because the Republicans
have got the votes"
He denounced the cut-sponsored
by Chairman Knutson of the House
Ways and Means Committee and in
dorsed by Senator Taft, Republican,
of Ohio-as an "unsound" approach
to fiscal problems
Mr.. Mccormack, himself former
member of the Ways and Means
Committee, suggested instead a
study of methods designed to ease
the tax burden on ''the little fellow
possibly by boosting exemptions on
earned income.
McCormack's observations were
| offered as the dominantly-Republi-
can Congress studied strategy for
trimming President Truman's budget
by billions.
Too High, Stassen Says.
The Presidents estimate of the
necessary spending in the fiscal year
starting July / is $37 500, 900, 900.
Harold E. Stassen, former Cover
nor of Minnesota and an announced
candidate for President, joined fell
low Republicans yesterday in at
tacking this figure as too high.
Mr.. Stassen told news confer
ence he was laying before individual
members of Congress a proposal to
cut $4,000, 900, 900 out of the Presi-
dents budget.
He suggested continuing enough
of the wartime excise taxes to raise
another billion dollars to make the
total income $38, SOC, 100000. There
then would be $4,000, 100000 to work
with on his calculations, he said.
/. Reduce the national debt by
So ,000, ,000, 900.
2. Cut personal income taxes by
1919 per cent, a total of $500, ,000,- :
000
8. Reduce taxes on small busi-
nesses $500. 100000 by eliminating
duplicate taxation on earnings and
dividends drawn from such enter
prises.
Mr.. Stassen said he would not
favor reducing Army Navy funds
below Mr.. Truman's estimate OF
s11 ,587 900 900 but that there is
plenty of room to cut in other ac-
tivities.
Representative Engel, Republican
of Michigan, who will head the
House Appropriations Subcommittee
on Army expenditures, maintained
that "honest- -to-goodnes cuts could
be made in these allotments with
out sacrificing essential national de-
fense."
Criticism Expected.
When he submitted his budget,
MIR. Truman called it realistic and
hard -boiled.
His secretary, Charles q. Ross,
told reporters yesterday there was
nothing surprising" in the Repub-
lican criticism. IT was rather ex-
lpected in view of statements which
/ previously had been made" Mr.. Ross
said.
Mr.. Mccormack told reporters he
based his opposition to sweeping
slash in taxes upon the size of the
/ war-swollen national debt.
Subject to final passage over the
declared opposition of the White
House to a wholesale tax slashing,
the Knutson pIan-on the basis OF
Ian estimated $165. 900 900 900 income
flor the tax year would mean re-
lduction In revenue of between 3d.
400, ,0o0. 900 and $500, ,000, 900.
