DldInelTlCdllV oppOSeu Testimony
of Whitaker Chambers and Alger
Hiss Page A-lO.
By Miriom Gutenberg
Donald Hiss, who has fatty
denied that he has ever been a
Communist Party member, will
be recalled by the House Com
mittee on Un-American Activi-
ties if his brother, Alger Hiss,
fails to disprove accusations
made by Whitaker Chambers,
Representative Nixon, Republi-
can, of California, said last
night.
Mr.. Nixon said the recall of DON
aid Hiss depends on the outcome of
the face-to-face meeting .of Alger
Hiss and Mr. Chambers in public
session Wedn esday.
IF the Chambers story stands up.
it will be necessary to recall Donald
Hiss Mr.. Nixon said. If the Hiss
story stands up, it will not be nee
eSsary.
| Mr. Chambers, repentant Com
munist and now senior editor OF
Time Magazine, named both broth
ers as leaders in a prewar Com
munist underground here. Both
brothers denied they were Commun-
lists. Donald Hiss said fatty he did
not know Mr. Chambers and did
not recognize his photograph.
Session Called to Clear Puzzle.
Alger Hiss said in public testimony
that as far as he knew he had never
laid eyes on Mr. Chambers. Later
in executive session, he said he
knew Mr.. Chambers as George
Crosley.'
So far, the committee has con-
centrated on the truth or falsity OF
the conflicting testimony of Mr.
Chambers and Alger Hiss with the
public hearing next Wednesday
called to clear up the puzzle.
Mr.. Nixon disclosed last night
g, that he expects to buttress the
Wednesday testimony by calling
three or four other witnesses to
supply missing details"
:, He refused to reveal the identity
of these witnesses until committee
investigators have definitely lined
them up. He said they will be will
ing witnesses.
Witnesses Are Third Parties"
These witnesses. Mr. Nixon said,
are not Communists. He described
them as third parties"-persons
whose names have never been men
toned in the testimony.
They are the only available peo-
pie who can give the committee
facts which will tend to clear up
the picture Mr.. Nixon explained.
They are familiar with some of
the facts and circumstances"
If they can be located. he said
they will be questioned behind
closed doors Tuesday and then dur
ing the public session Wednesday.
Among other things. Mr. Nixon
declared, they will help to estab-
} lish the fact that Mr.. Chambers was
. a well-known Communist before he
! renounced the party.
When it was pointed out that Mr.
= Chambers himself has described his

g. 0. P. May Pledge
Excise Tax Slash,
Mi||iken Indicates
Senator Sees Little Hope
For Further Reduction in
Income Levies Next Year
BY the Associated Press

With new income tax cuts un-
likely. Republicans may bid for
Mr.. Average citizens favor with
a campaign pledge to whittle
the irritating excise taxes he
pays.
Senator Millikin. Republican, OF
Colorado, opened the door for such
q prQnaise In a prediction that the
nexf Congress will undertake whole
sale revision of the revenue laws.
But the chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee told a reporter
before he left Washington on va
cation that there is little chance of
further cuts in income taxes next
year.
We've got to pay at least $2,600,-
000, 1000 on the public debt and after
that We'll see what tax reductions
can be made he said. II think we
| can cut out some excise taxes but
I don't see much room for a general
income tax reduction"
Finances Made Election Issue.
President Truman made the Ma
tion's finances something of Pres
idential campaign issue by contend
ing last week that the country faces
$500, 100000 deficit. He blamed
this in part on what he called Con-
gress' ill-timed slash in income
taxes. .ss
Republicans cried that the Pres
ident's figures were phony. They
said the country will have surplus.
Representative Taber, Republican of
New York. chairman of the House
Appropriations Committee and a
friend of Gov. Dewey. the COP
Presidential nominee. said the sur
plus might run as high as 5000, =
00O, 900.
Only time and the Treasury's
books will tell who Is right-and
then only long after the November
2 election.
Senator Millikin said he sees nc
reason why some of the more "irr
ritating", excise taxes can't be
dropped. These levies are assessed
against a wide range of articles
including cigarettes, gasoline, cos
meticS, theater and travel tickets.
| If possible, the Colorado senator
said he personally would like tt
get rid of taxes on barber and beauty
shop supplies. He also said Western
Union had assembled mass O
evidence that the tax on telegram!
was doing its finances no good.
There has been lot of lobbying
done in Congress to get rid Of the
extra take on theater tickets ane
night club checks, as we'll as tn,
tax on rail. bus and airline charges
But the woman who buys a ful
coat and the fellow who picks u,
The tab for a round of. drinks ma,
have to wait for relief. The CIR
who buys face powder may get tn,
tax reduction first.
Senator Milfkin made it plail
that unless things go financial.

Small Businessmen
Oppose Wage-Hour
And Rent Controls

The Conference of American
Small Business Organizations today
called for elimination of wage and
hour privisions from the Fair Labor
Standards Act in one of the series
of resolutions adopted in the final
meeting of its ninth national ses-
sion at the Wardman Park Hotel.
The group also asked Congress to
terminate all rent controls Febru-
airy %.
Approximately $50 delegates were
registered for the three-day con-
ference here.
The organization also urged elm
nation of special tax rates for CO.
operatives, educational institutions
and "other tax-exempt organizations
engaged in commercial activities,
recommended immediate streamlin-
ing of all Federal agencies and
elimination of at least one million
government employees, demanded
that all public works projects ex-
cept those of an emergency nature
be abandoned Immediately, and
strongly opposed the return of any
form of rationing, wage control, or
price regulation.
In another resolution. the group
asked the Justice Department to
promulgate uniform regulations pro-
hibiting unfair trade practices and
unfair competition. 1t asked thai
the Federal Trade Commission be
given enough funds to operate on an
industry wide basis, and to sponsor
a large number of trade practice in
dustry conferences" an dto "aggres-
sively enforce" complete with fair
trade regulations.
Representatives from the Justice,
Treasury, Agriculture and Com
merce Departments spoke briefly at
this mornings session.
They included E. H. Foley, Assist
ant Secretary of the Treasury; E.
A. Meyer, director of production
and marketing in the Agriculture
Department., and Chalmers Hamill,
director of the Small Business Sec
ton, Justice Department.
Speaker Martin told the con-
vention last night that passing are
the days when the small business
man must cool his heels in the outer
offices of bureaucrats when he wants
to contribute to Americas produc-
ton"
The small businessman has had
few friends in Washington during
the last Is or Is years, Mr.. Martin
declared.

Arlington Will Pay
Tuition for Negroes

The Arlington County School
Board agreed last night to pay
tuition fees for SO Negro children
who are attending District schools
because they cannot obtain all the
courses they want in Arlington.
The District Board of Education
is requiring tuition payments fol
residents, under provisions OF
the 1913 Appropriations Act.
Arlington Board members esti-
mated the tuition will cost approx
mately $500 They ruled that in
the future the board must have ad-
vanced notice of District attendance
The School Board voted to appoint
a librarian and a physical educa-
ton instructor for the Hoffman
Boston Negro School, which patrons
say lacks facilities comparable to
white high schools of Arlington.
The board Endorsed a proposal
that the General Assembly provide
for independent non-partisan school
board and county board elections.
Mrs. Elizabeth Campbell dissented
in the 4-to-1 vote.
The board urged unanimously that
the School Board election be set at
times when the maximum" number
of voters would have opportunity to
participate. No dates were specified.
It also authorized the Census Blu
reau to begin special census OF
Arlington as soon as possible. The
canvas, which will cost about SIS, 900,
is intended primarily to determine
the number of children of school age,
also will show the county's total
population.

Shipping Federation Head
Hits Transfer OF Vessels

Frazer A. Bailey, president of the
National Federation of American
Shipping, yesterday told the Adver-
Using Club of Washington that the
Marshall Plan proposal to transfer
500 American ships to foreign coun-
tries threatens United States econ
cn,y.
He told the members of the club
meeting in the Hotel Statler, that
the ship transfer would leave idle
some $4,000 American seamen in
favor of an equal number OF Euro
pean seamen and that it would
Withdraw 500 ships from the present
reserve feet and force 500 other
American ships out of business.
At the same time, said Leigh r
Sanford, executive vice president OF
the Shipbuilders' Council of Amer
lea, five other nations are outstrip-
ping the United States in new cargo
ship construction. They are Eng
land, Sweden, Holland, France and

Williams Case Due
To Go 10 Jury Today;
Summing-Up Starts

Assistant United States Attorney
Cecil Hef1in this afternoon began
summing up the Governments
fraud case in District Court against
George H. williams, bankrupt real
estate man. The case is expected
to 90 to the jury of 10 men and 2
women late today. ~"
Today's court session was delayed
when Williams was held up by the
weather and did not arrive on time
Both Mr.. Heflin and Defense At
torney Robert w. Mccullough said
they intended to use less than the
hour granted to each by Justice
Alexander Holtzoff for final argu-
mentS.
Williams faces three charges Of
using the mails to defraud veterans
and seven charges Of sending forgec
checks in interstate commerce with
intent to defraud.
The first three charges carry
maximum penalties of $1,000 fine Oh
five years imprisonment or both or
each count. The seven others carry
top penalties of $4,000 fine or II
years imprisonment or both on each
count.
Opening his summation, Mr.
Hef1in told the jury Williams
violated contracts and misrepre-
scented himself in his attempts to
Build and sell three veterans hous-
ing projects.
The prosecutor asked the jury to
disregard statements that Williams
acted In good faith" and made
honest efforts to build homes" Mr.
Heflin likened williams to "a mining
swindler, who stands on an empty
hill and says Here's oil or here's
gold"
Williams earlier had testified he
received no personal benefit from
any of the veterans deposits but
that he had used the money "to
start building the homes"
Veterans called by Mr.. Hef1in have
testified that the money they gave
williams never was returned.
Mr.. Heflin also called as rebuttal
witnesses:
Morgan B. Callahan. loan guar
antee officer of the Veterans Ad-
ministration here, who said Williams
had never applied for approval OF
a CT loan.
Leo j. Naughton, of the Seat
Pleasant Md Bank, who testified
that the bank loaned $16,50o to
Williams in September and No
vember, 1916. ...,-
Samuel M. Greenbaum, trustee in
the williams bankruptcy, who iden-
tilted financial records kept by
Williams. -,
F williams admitted in testifying
yesterday that he deposited forged
checks to. give false credit to his
bank account, but insisted that the
checks, written with fictitious names
on, fictitious accounts in banks in
other states, were not intended to
defraud anyone.
