Mr.. Reuther countered with
demand for a better contract on
all points.
The union president, in a letter
to John S. Dugas, Ford vice presi-
dent, declared no new contract
would be signed unless both non-
economic and economic needs Of
Ford workers have been met"
The company, in its latest pro-
poSal, limited that Ford might
reduce its prices if the union
would agree to a wage freeze.

equal Importance with economic

Nom economic matters include
seniority. grievance procedure and

matters include wages, pensions,

Mr.. Reuther called for down

all phases of the contract.
He said the company's proposal
for wage freeze suggests a re-

A young elephant captured two
months ago in Siam arrived at
the Zoo yesterday.
The 3-year-old animal was
bought for $500 from Henry
Treffich, New York animal
trader.
DR.. William M. Mann. director
of the Zoo. said the elephant was

Kechel, Sumatran elephant,
nearly two years ago.
The animal has been named
Jenny, in honor of Miss Jenny
Curpys, a 24-year-old woman who
directed the capture of Jenny and
dozens of other animals for Mr..
Treff1ich.
The elephant is an exceptionally
gentle animal. She weighs about
TOO pounds and is a little more
than feet high.
She was flown from Siam to
New York about two weeks ago
aboard a chartered Dutch air

out the rain, while the new roofs
are being installed.
Principal reason for the recon-
struction job is to place safe roofs
on the two chambers in place of
the weakened old ones, which now
are supported with unsightly steel
beams.
The beams were installed in
the winter of 1910, to remove
danger of their possible collapse.
During that job, the House and
Senate occupied for a few weeks
the same quarters to which they
now are moving. They went back
to their regular chambers Janu-
ary 3. 1941. for the opening of
the 77th Congress.
Telephone men had one Of the
most complex Jobs as they ar
ranged new hookups for Mem
bers of Congress and the press.
Looking down on the Senate in
its temporary location are memen-
toes of United States history. They
include statues of 10 chief justices
and a huge painting Of Lincoln
signing the Emancipation Procla-
nation.
One of the first complaints
against exclusion of the public
from both House and Senate ses-
sions came from lobbyists. They
say they now will have to read the
Congressional Record the next day
to find exactly what was said on
the floor about legislation with
which they are vitality concerned.
The public will be excluded from
a large part Of the Capitol build
ing during the renovation. Visi-
tors will be barred from the en-
tire gallery floor on both House
and Senate sides. They will not
be permitted on the main floor

Two Brothers SOUGHT
In Guardsman 5|ayinq
BY the Asseeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, July 2.-Police to-
day sought two brothers in con-
nection with a fatal attack on a
34-year-old National guardsman
as he paraded last night along a
crowded Brooklyn street with 900
Of his regiment.
Police identified the brothers as
John Patrick Hart, %, a laborer
and Peter Hart, 19, a movie thea
ter usher. and said they were
wanted for questioning in the case.
They said the young brother
Peter, had been a member of the
same Guard unit until two months
ago, when he received a medical
discharge.
Police said the mysterious at
tack took place after the assail-
ants ran along side the uniformed
marchers and hurled taunts and
catcallS at them.
The victim was Alexander j.
Taras, a Navy veteran and Ma
tional Guard warrant ofncer. Mr..
Taras was knocked to the street
during the attack. He suffered a
fractured skull and died an hour
later in hospital.
The guardsmen, members Of the
955th Field Artillery Regiment.
were parading behind blaring
bands en- route to the station to
entrain for summer maneuvers.
After Mr.. Taras was felled, sew
eral of his buddies broke ranks
and started after the assailants
But an officer, unaware of the at
tack, ordered them back into for
nation.
Mr.. Taras is survived by his
widow, Ruth, 80, and their 3-year-
old daughter.

He said the animal tied up all
traffic at Idlewild Airport for
nearly an hour a few days age
when she became frightened by
an airplane and ran away.
Arrivals and departures were
halted until airport personnel
captured the frightened animal
Jenny was at the airport to take
part in the air show.
DR.. Mann said Jenny probably
will remain gentle and tame. She
will attain full maturity at the
age of IL, he said.
Now at Antelope House.
DR.. Mann has been trying to
get an elephant since Kechels
death left the Zoo with but one
pachyderm, Jumbina, an elderly
African elephant.
Jenny is temporarily living at
the Antelope House. An outside
enclosure where the animal
spends most of her time faces the
walk between the Small Mammal
House and the Lion House, in the
center of the Zoo.
She will probably be moved to
the Elephant House in a few days.
Other new arrivals at the Zoo
yesterday included a pair OF
crested guinea hens from Africa.
and q pair of Australian bush
turkeys. This species of guinea
hen has never been exhibited in

In a state of confusion sugges-

Vote, 1902 70 III,
For Strike, if Necessary

Results Of the secret ballot at

However. there seemed little
likelihood Of an immediate walk
out by Ford's 100000 employees.

it expires July Is.
Strike Votes Will Proceed.
Strike votes in Ford's 40 plants

Such membership approval of q

investigators Say Reds
Will Go Underground
# Il Are Convicted
By the Assoeioted Press

House investigators say there is
evidence the Communist Party
will dive underground If its lead
ers are convicted of conspiring to
overturn the American Govern
ment.
Eleven of them are on trial now
in New York and a twelfth will
be tried later.
But members OF the House
Committee on American Ac-
tivities believe that if the party
decides to go underground in an
effort to avoid additional prose-
cutions, it will leave some Eek
pendables" out in the open to dis
guise. the shift of the bulk Of the
membership. Committeeman be-
lieve arrangements already may be
complete.
The committee has an idea that
the men who would take over the
party controls already have been
picked and their assignments
worked out.
Members say they have some
supporting evidence developed in
two separate Investigations. They
say Paul Crouch, who quit the
party after II years, told Of some
of the plans for operating an un-
derground Communist Party. This
was the story:
In the event the party takes
cover, it will break up into small
groups meeting and operating al
most independently. The MEM
bers of one group wouldn't know
those in another.
Each group would have a
leader, and the leaders would
meet in small groups, too. One
among them would serve as a
contact with somebody higher up,
and this chain of authority would
extend eventually clear to the
top
In digging into Communist ac-
tivities in the National Capital,
committee investigators say they
have uncovered evidence that ac-
tual party membership has drop
ped about a third in recent
months. They figure most of
those who have left the party
have gone into its underground
apparatus.

George and Taft Agree
Deficit Makes Cut in
u. 5. Expenses Vital

senators George, Democrat, OF
Georgia, and Taft, Republican. OF
Ohio. agreed yesterday that the
Governments $1,811 ,O00.00 deficit
makes it essential that Congress
crack down on Federal spending
Senator George, chairman OF
the Senate Finance Committee
told reporters the excess of Gov
ernment outgo over income in the
year ending last Thursday puts
Congress squarely up against some
unpleasant monetary facts.
If we are not going to be in
different to fiscal realities this
deficit constitutes the strongest
possible reason for reductions in
the appropriations Congress is
making for the new year." Senator
George said.
In a separate interview, Senator
Taft said the Red-inked Treasury
report "re-emphasizes the neces-
sity for economy in Government
expenditures"
Senator George, who has op-
posed new taxes, said he favors a
S per cent cut in spending.
Cuts in Two Items Proposed.
He said the best opportunity to
get any such result seems to lie in
cutting the $3,568, 100000 voted by
the House for the Economic Co.
operation Administration and in
reducing the S15,90O, 100000 it ap-
proved for the armed services.
On the other hand. Senator
Robertson, Democrat, of Virginia
a member of the Senate Appro-
priations Committee considering
the ECA bill, insists that there
should and will be no drastic cut
in the money for European re-
covery. Any such reduction would
have a heavy impact on the
American economy, he said.
Secretary of Defense johnson
is reported to have told a closed
appropriations hearing that about
S750.000,000 could be cut from the
departments money bill mainly
by reducing the future size of the
Air Force from 10 groups proposed
in Congress to the 48 urged by
President Truman.
Chairman Mcclellan of the Ap-
preparations Committee already
has proposed that $500, ,000,000 be
sliced off the ECA funds. The
committee has completed hearings
on the military bill but has not
yet begun its item-by-item check
on the measure.
Arms Program Seen in Peril.
Senator George said he thinks
the deficit will make it difficult
for Congress to vote additional
funds for the proposed $1,450,00O,-
900 foreign arms program.
He said that $1,130,OOO,000 of
this amount, to be earmarked for
aid to North Atlantic security
treaty signers, was not covered in
President Truman's budget for the
new year and thus would increase
the prospective deficit for the IL
months ending next June 30.
Senator Taft, who has opposed
the foreign arms program. indi-
Gated that he believes the deficit
may kill this proposal, at least for
this session of Congress.
Senator George and Senator
Taft both said the Treasury's drop
in revenue could be traced directly
to decline in receipts from with
holding taxes. They attributed
this to growing unemployment.
Senator Taft took occasion to
observe that receipts in other
categories had not fallen of
nearly so much.
THAT seems to prove that 1t
was not a rich mans tax reduc-
ton bill that the 80th Congress
passed, as President Truman
charged. because the rich man
paid about as much taxes as
ever" the Ohioan said
