sion of Massachusetts, avenue Sc
The action of the co-ordinating
committee, three years ago, which
is now guiding the planning staff
directed that the proposed exten.
sion of Massachusetts, avenue
through the Gallinger grounds be
retained on the comprehensive
plan and that all future develop
ments at Gallinger be approved
with that ultimate street plan ir
mind.
The Commissioners acted today
on recommendation Of Engineer
Commissioner Gordon r. Young
who also is member of the plan
ming commission. He will present
the Districts viewpoint to the
planning commission at its next
meeting.
A sum of $3.50. 900 for the first
leg of construction on the new
bridge was requested in the bud
get estimate of the Highway De-
partment for the 1851 fiscal year.
The bridge is planned as a Fed
eral aid project with the District
supplying half the funds.
No definite cost for the bridge
has been decided on since, high
way officials said, no determine
ton has been made as to what
type bridge it will be. Rough es-
Inmates have placed the expense
Of the entire project somewhere
around $12,000,000.
In an earlier precaution against
interference of the proposed East
Capitol street location with the
Freedom Fair, Assistant Engineer
Commissioner c. H. Whitesell, jr.,
was designated to coordinate
plans for the two projects.
The NCPPC approved location
Of the Freedom Fair at the foot of
East Capitol street on condition
that the Sesqticentennial Com

buildings erected on the site by
the end of 1852.

Hiss Trial Brings Out His Plea
To Grand Jury on Chambers

subject OF corridor speculation
throughout the session. -,
Early comments of persons who
participated in the conference.
held in the absence of the Jury in
Judge Goddard's chambers, led
to a belief that the jurist had de-
cided the proposed psychiatric
testimony should not be heard. It
was not until late afternoon that
this erroneous impression was cor
rected.
Seeks to Call Two Witnesses.
1t was learned that the defense
intends to summon two experts
to the witness stand to testify on
their opinion of Mr.. Chambers
sanity: DR.. Binger, who appeared
for Mr.. Hiss last spring, and DR..
Henry Alexander Murray, former
director of the Harvard psycholi-
gical clinic.
The question of the psychiatric
testimony was at issue in Mr.. Hiss
first trial. DR.. Binger spent sew
eral days then observing Mr..
Chambers on the witness stand.
Judge Samuel H. Kaufman al
lowed him to be called as a wit
ness. and allowed the defense to
ask him a long hypothetical ques-
ton summing UP phases of Mr..
Chambers career which might
cast doubt on his sanity.
Judge kaufman did not, how
ever, permit DR.. Binger to answer
this question.
DR.. Binger has attended only
one session of this second trial.
DR.. Murray is not known to have
attended any. The latter special
list, according to the American
Medical Directory. served as in
structor of psychology at Harvard
from 1926 to 1923, and thereafter
as director of the psychological
clinic until 1913. He was a lieu
tenant colonel in the Office of
Strategic Services during the war,
and since then has been lecturing.
DR.. Binger is personal friend
Of Mr.. Hiss.

Dewey F|at|y Denies
He'll Seek Presidency
In 1852, Sc or so
By the Associated Press

ALBANY. N. Y, Dec. 20. -
Thomas E. Dewey f1atly renowned
future presidential ambitions but
kept politicians guessing today
whether he would seek a third
term as Governor.
Gov. Dewey last night ap-
pointed his counsel, Charles D..
Breitel, to the State Supreme
Court and thereby famed the
flame Of speculation that he would
retire to private life at the end
OF his term, December 81, 1850.
The appointment to the bench
of a close aide, lent some cred
ence to reports that Gov. Dewey
would not make himself available
for denomination for Governor
next year, despite increasing pres
sure by influential Republicans to
get him to run again.
Warns Against Inference.
However, Gov. Dewey himself
warned against drawing that in
ference. But he made 1t crystal
clear that he would not take an
other crack at the Republican
presidential nomination-at least
in the foreseeable future.
He said specifically he would
not seek the nomination in 1852,
1856 or 1860. Asked about the
years beyond 1860, he laughingly
remarked at a news conference
that he would be lucky to be
alive" 10 years hence. He is Al.
Mr.. Breitel. Al, who has been
associated with Gov. Dewey since
1885, was one of the star per-
formers on the Dewey team"
His departure follows closely the
resignation of Elliott v. Bell, an
other top-ranking member of the
brain trust that helped Gov.
Dewey win the COP presidential
nomination in 1914 and 1913.
Bell Quits Banking Post.
Mr.. Bell quit as State superin-
tendent of banks to join a New
York publishing house.
When a reporter asked if he
cared to say what plans he might
have for next year. Gov. Dewey
replied:
When and if I have anything
to say on political subjects. I'll
say them, and there's no use of
either specializing or asking ques-
TONS"

10-MiI|ion Fine Levied
|By Argentine Court
In Tax Evasion Case
BY the Associofed Press

BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 29.--
Heirs of Otto Bemberg, who left
a fabulous fortune when he died
in Paris in 1892, were ordered by
an Argentine court today to pay
S7,257, 274 pesos ($10,806,363) fine
for evasion of inheritance taxes
The fine, levied by Judge 1smael
Segovia on the Bemberg estate,
is believed to be the largest ever
imposed by an Argentine court.
A tax of 65.000.000 pesos Cat
that time $16,00O,0O0 was paid
by the heirs last year. The peso
since has been devalued to its
present level, Ills cents.
There have been a number Of
estimates of the value Of Benz
berg's industrial empire. Presi-
dent Juan D. Peron, in a speech
once said it might reach the
equivalent of $250,000.000.
Five Inherit Fortune.
Mr.. Bemberg left to five heirs
breweries, textile factories, finance
companies, vast land holdings and
a grain business. The bulk of his
holdings he turned over to his
children abroad while he was still
living. The heirs claimed-and
Argentine courts have rejected the
claim-that under the law at the
time these were to be considered
tax-free gifts.
Legal actions have been pending
against the estate for the last II
years. but not until President
Peron came into power in 1916
did the government seriously press
its claims.
The prosecution of the Bemberg
suit since then has been one Of
the most vigorous actions Of the
Peron regime. - 4a
Government Gets Forms.
When the tax of $4,000, 900
pesos was paid last year by the
heirs, they turned over to the
government % large farms as
payment. The government broke
up these farms and turned over
much of the land to small farmers
on easy payment terms.
In order to guarantee the pay
ment of the fines which might be
levied against the estate, SO COM
panies of the so-called Bemberg
group, including breweries. mills
and the like, were ordered liqui-
dated several months ago, and
their articles of incorporation
Cancelled. The government charged
that the control of these enter
prises by the Bemberg heirs con-
stituted an illegal monopoly.
One Of the principal heirs to
the estate, Federico Bemberg, died
in New York last March 81.

that American business and labor
would rather get their profits and
wages from private operations
than from programs sponsored
and financed by the Government.

employees steady work at good

The Commerce Secretary's re-
port covered the sentiment he
found among businessmen, labor
leaders and local public officials
in personal survey over the
country last summer and fall.
In q comment of his own, Secre-
tary Sawyer added that the war

case of jewelry. furs, luggage,
admissions. etc., the effects are,
in specific cases, very serious"

In this age, when science has
tapped the atoms nucleus, man
must tap the nucleus Of understand

and 20 mutual concern.
Brotherhood is the solution. It
Is the source of the unity within our

In a statement furnished to the
Washington committee, Nelson A.
Rockefeller, national general chair
man, commented:
1--WE in the United States are one
OF the few nations in q position to
give not only material leadership but
moral and spiritual leadership as
well-a leadership that will strike
at the very roots of conflict, dis
unity and misunderstanding which
bar the paths to brotherhood"
