.DaIstrom Will File
'AppeaI Tomorrow

A notice of appeal in the convic.
ton of Ivan J. Dalstrom, Fire De-
partment superintendent Of ma.
chinery, on a charge of driving 6
department automobile improperly
will be filed with the Commissioners
tomorrow, Paul E. Jameson, at
torney for Mr.. Dalstrom, said last
night.
Mr.. Dalstrm was fined $125 by 9
Fire Department trial board last
Wednesday, but was acquitted of an.
other charge involving drunken
driving. Last Monday the boarc
dismissed a charge of being intoxi.
Gated while on duty.
An automobile being driven by
Mr.. Dalstrom collided with another
car April II at Thirty-eig avenue
and BladenSburg road, Colmal
Manor, Md. At the trial, both the
Colmar Manor police officer who
arrested Mr.. Dalstrom and the
physician who examined him within
short time after the collision
testified that Mr.. Dalstrom was
under the influence of alcohol.
Mr.. Jameson would not say
yesterday how heavily his appeal
would depend on the fact that the
boards chairman, Assistant Corp
ration Counsel Henry E. Wixon
was serving under an improper
oath. Mr.. Wixon admitted after
the trial that he had inadvertently
taken the wrong oath.
Mr.. Jameson said he believed the
transcript of the trial will indicate
a great many errors.
THE board was made up either OF
young and very inexperienced men
or old and very inexperienced men,
he said.

no reasons for delay in activating
the miners pension fund"
Mr.. Latimer's report was submit
ted to trustees of the welfare and
retirement fund on April II.
The next day, Mr.. Lewis and Sen
ator Bridges, Republican, of New
Hampshire, voted compromise
plan which led to ending the six
week pension strike. Ezra Van Horn,
the operator trustee, opposed it
Senator Bridges was chosen as the
neutral member Of the three-man
board at the suggestion of House
Speaker Martin, who said he was
interested in ending the pension dis
pute.
The Bridges-Lewis plan was not
as liberal as that considered by Mr.
Latimer in reaching his conclusion
Mr.. Latimer based his study on Mr.
Lewis original demands, first made
last summer.
Senator Bridges and Mr.. Lewis
agreed to temporary plan financed
by $5,0O0,o0O from the first years
collection. 1t would pay 500 a
month to 62-year-old UNIV men,

UNIV Accuses Operators.
In releasing the Latimer report,
the UNIV accused soft coal oper-
ators with using "gimmicks and de-
vices" to deliberately freeze the
coal miners legal rights in their
welfare fund.
The UNIV and Mr.. Latimer as
sailed an actuarial study prepared
for the operators by a Philadelphia
firm OF experts. That report showed
that the l0-cent royalty would sup
port a pension Of only $50 per month
for miners when they reach 65 and
still take care Of the other welfare
benefits provided in the contract.
Mr.. Latimers report apparently
overlooked the other welfare uses
which operators contend would cost
S14,500,000 a year at the minimum.
These include death benefits, hos
pitalization, medical care, and pay
ments for sickness and other disa-
bilities.
The Latimer study also estimated
that the 10-cents-per-ton will yield
s55,000,000 annually. Operators es-
innate the total at $4,000, 900 or less,
There was no explanation as to
why the report omitted benf1ts other
than pensions which are outlined in
the present coal industry contract.
It may be that Mr.. Lewis plans to
make point for bargaining with
the operators on new contract.
Pension To Be Major Issue.
He has served notice that pensions
and the entire welfare issue will
figure prominently in his demands
when negotiations for a new con-
tract gets underway
Mr.. Latimer said Mr.. Lewis orig
tral proposal-Sl00 month for
miners so years old with 20 wears
service-would cost s26. 100000 the
first year.
Report Submitted April IL.
He said the current l0-cent roy
atty, provided in the one year con-
tract signed last July. would yield
s55 10000 annually. Of this, S710,-
600 could be used for administra-
tion of the fund. He thought 22,-
600 miners would retire in the first
year.
At that rate, Mr.. Latimer esti-
mated, the income will pay all pen

Landon Hits Proposals
For House Revision Of
Reciprocal Trade Act
n Republican

Alt M. Landon, Republican
standard bearer in 1886, yesterday
assailed House Republican pro-
posals for revision of the reciprocal
trade law. Instead, he called for a
three-year extension OF the act
without changes. as requested by
President Truman.
The proposed revisions, he said
are contrary to the tariff plank OF
the 1914 Republican convention, as
interpreted by Gov. Dewey, the Re-
publican presidential nominee that
year.
The Kansan, who is here calling
on Republican leaders, commented
to reporters on several other mat
ters:
/. In his opinion America should
not attempt to dictate the domestic
and foreign policies of countries
under the $5,3OO,0O0000 European
aid program. This was an answer
to published hints that Britain's
share of the recovery money might
be cut if it is found that some OF
it is being used to arm the Arab
legions in Palestine.
2. He favors a temporary draft
but is not enthusiastic about uni
versal military training.
3. He boosted House Speaker
Martin for the Republican preSi-
Dental nomination. I'VE couldn't
do better than joe" he said.
Reporters met Mr.. Landon when
he called at Speaker Martins Of
flee.
While discussing a wide range
of subjects, the Kansan put greatest
weight on the tariff issue.
The Republican tariff bill, ap-
proved by the House Ways and
Means Committee on a party line
vote, proposes to continue the Re-
ciprocal Trade Act for only one
year and Congress would take over
veto power if the President ne
gotiates for tariff reductions which
exceed bounds set by the Federal
Tariff Commission.
This bill, Mr.. Landon said, "en-
dangers the Reciprocal trade pro-
gram and endangers the whole
policy of post war economic re-
construction of the world. 1t threat
ems to waste the money We are ad-
vancing for foreign relief"
Mr.. Martin did not discuss
tariffs. but when Chairman Knut-
son of the Ways and Means Com
mittee heard of Mr.. Landon's state
ment he fired back:
"It is evident from Mr.. Landon' S
statement that he has accepted the
State Department version Con re-
ciprocal trade) without an indepen-
dent investigation on his own. Had
he contacted the committee (of Con-
gress) dealing with the subject, he
would have gotten the true picture
and would have been better quail
fed to comment"
Act Expires June IL.
The tariff bill comes up in the
House Wednesday.
Under the reciprocal trade law,
first enacted in 1884, the State De-
partment was authorized to reduce
American tariffs if other countries,
in reciprocal trade pacts, agreed to
lower their trade barriers.
Without congressional action, the
act expires June IL. This is the
first time it has come up for re-
newal since Republicans took con-
troll of Congress last year.

Finn Pro.Communists

Ministers S 0ustinq
SY the Assoeioisd Press

HELSINKI, Finland, May o.
Communist Minister of the In
terror Yrjo Leino was relieved OF
his post today by President Juho
Paasikivi.
Pro-Communist workers in several
shops laid down their tools to hold
meetings. Worker delegations were
sent to protest to President Paasi-
XVI. but he refused to see them.
The Communists then gathered
outside the Government building
where the President was invited to
meeting and Mr.. Passaikivi was
forced to elbow his way through the
crowd.
The Communists said the ousting
of Leino from the cabinet was a
blow against democracy and Fin.
lands friendly relations with the
Soviet Union.
No successor was appointed. Elmo
Kilpi. Social Democrat who is min
lister of education, automatically
assumed Leinos duties.
Mr.. Paasikivi requested Leino's
resignation last night. Leino did
not submit one, but the President
ordered his removal in accord with
the constitutional provision that a
cabinet member must enjoy Parlia-
ments confidence.
Censured by Parliament.
Leino was censured by Parlia-
ment Wednesday night by vote OF
81 to 81. He was criticized for per-
mitting extradition of 20 persons to
the Soviet Union and for police
treatment of arrested Finnish Of
fcials in 1945.
The vote caused a parliamentary
crisis, with speculation that other
Communist members of the cabinet
might resign with Leino. The
Peoples Democratic Party, coali-
ton that includes the Communists
supported Leino, who had been
criticised in the Conservative Fin
nish press for allegedly favorine
Communists in the country's police
organization.
Since Leino clung to his post al
long as possible, it was not believed
that any of the other Communists
members would resign, The posi-.
bility that all would resign hae
stirred grave misgivings in FINLAND
in view of the approaching genera
elections in July.
Moscow newspapers yesterday
published prominently letter from
Leino and two other Communis'
Finnish cabinet members suggesting
the Finnish government ask Russia
to reduce the $300000,000 war repa.
rations bill set up by the peace
treaty.
The Moscow dispatch said 1t was
believed the Soviet Union may looh
with favor on such an application
The wide play given the letter wa'
the basis for such deduction.

munications Minister Yrjo Murto
