To Require Consent Of
Congress Reported
By the Associated Press

Senator KnoWland, Republican,
of California, threatened yester-
day to carry to the Senate floor
a fight to tie President Truman's S
hands against giving atomic bomb
information to Great Britain or
any other foreign nation.
Senator Knowland, member of
the Senate House Atomic Com
mittee, said in a statement it is

The question of whether the

Lehman Is Shocked
By Cardinals S Attack
On Mrs. Roosevelt
Americans Are Entitled
To Express Views Without
Being ViIified, He Says
By the Associoted Press

LAKE PLACID, N. j.. July %
Former Gov. Herbert H. Lehman
said today he was deeply
shocked" by Francis Cardinal
Spellman's attack on Mrs. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt over her views
on Federal education aid.
The issue" Mr.. Lehman said
in statement, "is whether Amer
leans are entitled freely to express
their views on public questions
without being vilif1ed or accused
of religious bias
Cardinal Spellman yesterday
made public a letter to Mrs.
Roosevelt. attacking her for ex-
pressing support of the Barden
Bill. which provides 100000, 900
in Federal aid to schools.
The bill provides that none of
the funds go to parochial or pri-
vate schools.
Column Published June %.
In her column, My Day. pub
lished June %, Mrs. Roosevelt
wrote that she opposed Federal
aid to non-public schools. She
said the separation of church and
state lis extremely important to
any of us who hold to the original
traditions of our Nation"
The New York archbishop called
her stand discrimination un-
worthy of an American mother"
and said that your record of
Catholicism stands for all
to see."
Mrs. Roosevelt said she would
not publicly answer the attack,
out would write reply to Cardi-
nal Spellman.
Mr.. Lehman said the issue "is
not whether one agrees or dis
agrees with Mrs. Roosevelt on
this or any other public question.
Entitled to Express Views.
II strongly believe" he said, "as
II have always believed. that .in
our American democracy every
responsible citizen is entitled to
express his or her views on public
issues without being subjected to
the accusation of being against
any religion or any race"
He said that during Mrs. Roose-
velt's Is years as a public figure
II do not know of single act
or word that would in the slight
est degree indicate bias or preju-
dice against any religion or any
race"
Her whole life has been dedi-
Gated to constant fight for
tolerance and brotherhood of men
as children of one God" Mr..
Lehman added. She will. I am

Better Anesthetist Pay
Sought as Remedy for
Ga||inger> Shortage
Situation Is So Serious
Most Non Emergency
Operations Face Delay
By Horriet Griffiths

Seeking to remedy a shortage OF
anesthetists at Gallinger Hospital
so serious that most elective"
operations are being delayed, the
District will ask the Civil Service
Commission to put the positions
in a higher pay classification, it
was learned yesterday.
Budget Officer Walter L. Fowler
said higher classification of posi-
tions in the anesthetics service.
including elevation of its chief to
a job grade equaling that of other
department heads, would be
sought in an effort to strengthen
the entire service
1t was indicated also that the
Civil Service Commission may be
asked to make the jobs of depart
ment heads at Gallinger "P-7"
positions, with salaries over the
So, ,000-a-year mark.
DR.. Joseph T. Fazekas, acting
chief of staff at Gallinger. issued
an order three weeks ago insti-
tuting a daily surgery schedule.
Or. Fazekas. the chief anesthetist
and the chief of surgery, who
make up the schedule, cut out
nonemergency operations which
cannot be handled on a given day.
Chief Anes the Last to Leave.
A majority" of the elective
operations are delayed. DR.. Fa-
zekaS said. While this situation
has existed for some time, he
said, it has become more serious
with the frequent personnel
changes among anesthetists.
So far, he said, no patients
have been turned away from the
hospital, and the postponements
have been confined to a matter
of days.
An arrangement has been made
with Emergency Hospital to take
emergency surgery cases at night
which Gallinger cannot handle.
The present anesthetics staff at
Gallinger includes the chief anes-a
thetist, who will leave September
/: two nurse anesthetists, on OF
whom is on vacation until August
l, when the other will take va
cation, and a resident physician
anesthetist in his first year of
training.
Three Positions Vacant.
DR.. Ftazekas said one resident
and two assistant positions are
vacant. In addition to assuring
a permanent chief who can build
UP the anesthetic service" he
would like to have a working
staff of two assistants, two resi-
dents and five nurses.
I'VE can't keep patching up on
a short-term basis" he said. add
ing that the hospital needs a per-

'Reqistered for Tax Collection
Questions Answered
On How SuIes Levy
Affects Consumer

The District 2 per cent sales
tax, which goes into effect Au-
gust l, will be something entirely
new for the people of Washington.
Only those who take the trouble
to inform themselves in advance
on how it works are likely to
escape a certain amount OF con-
fusion at the start.
Municipal officials have been
doing their best in recent weeks
to educate District merchants to
their responsibilities under the
new tax law. They are confident
that most businessmen already
understand the tax pretty well.
They are afraid, however, that
it is the average consumer-Mr.
John @. Public himself-Who is
most likely to find himself in a
quandary when the deadline
comes.
This is the first of a series of
articles in which the Star, this

Wartime Excise Tax
Repeal This Session
Says Removal Would
Stimulate Business
And Employment
By the Associated Press

Re2eal of all wartime eXise
taxes at this session of Congress
was urged yesterday by Senator
George, Democrat. of Georgia, He
said it would stimulate business
and employment.
Senator George, ranking Senate
tax expert as chairman of its FL
nance Committee, told reporters
the special wartime taxes could be
wiped out at once if President
Truman and Congress cooperate.
He referred to taxes now col
lected on sales of furs, railroad
and airline tickets. most jewelry
and long list of other items.
He said his repeal proposal
would not cover the permanent
Federal excise taxes on such prod
ucts as liquor, cigarettes and
tobacco.
Senator George said removal of
the wartime levies would mean a
loss of about $1,000, 100000 in
present Government revenues.
Sees Higher Income Payments.
But the Senate leader said the
step would lead to higher Federal
income tax payments from cor
porations, individuals and other
taxpayers and partially offset the
tax loss.
He added that the taxes now are
causing unemployment and shut
downs in a number of industries
and speciality lines. If this trend
can be- halted and reversed, Sen
ator George ssaid the savings in
Federal relief costs might be tre-
mendous."
Previously. Senator George and
most Democrats on his committee
had voted against a partial re-
moval of the wartime excise taxes
sponsored by Senator Johnson,
Democrat. of Colorado, and most
Republicans.
Senator Milliken, Republican,
of Colorado, former finance chair
man under Republican control of
the Senate, said:
Il heartily agree with the view
Of Senator George that we should
get rid of all of our wartime ex-
else taxes"
If we cannot get rid of all of
them I favor cutting off part as
provided in the amendment pro-
posed by Senator Johnson" Sen
ator Milliken said.
Opposes PiecemeaI Removal.
Il am against a piecemeal re-
moval," Senator George said.
George said that when Con-
greSS imposed the wartime levieS
1--WE promised to take all of them
off six months after the end of
the war"
He said the wartime taxes were
for two purposes: To increase
revenues and to discourage the
use of materials and services
needed to win the war.
George stressed that >his pro-
posal to wipe out excise taxes was
not move to cut the general
level of Federal incomes and
other taxes.
THE general level of taxes must
remain high" he said. 1--WE should
have a large surplus to apply each
year to the national debts. But
the tax burden is not fairly ad-
justed by wartime excise taxes. I"
