siderable extent. Those firms
which have been able to maintain
a stable employment situation
have not been affected as yet.
Some Reserves Wiped, Out.
Other firms built up their re-
serves from 1899 to l943 with small
payrolls which were increased
greatly during the war years. The
reserve of these employers has now
shrunk in relation to the risk in
volved in their expanded payrolls
and their rates have been boosted
accordingly.
Some firms have even wiped out
their reserves entirely. making
them ineligible for the reduced
rates, and putting them back on
the standard 81 per cent contri-
button.
So far as the overall picture is
concerned. however. the District
is in good shape. The general re-
serve fund has continued TO In
crease slowly since l943 and now
stands at about s45 900 900. This
figure, according to Unemploy-

This year is the first time that
large concerns have faced an in
crease, but in addition to these
more than 1000 smaller Arms
will also have to pay higher taxes
The rate that they pay (based
on a percentage of their total
payrolls) depends on the number
of benefit charges that have been
made on the employers reserve
fund. s.-~..rs
According to the law every
employer must maintain a reserve
fund large enough to meet the
risk created by the size Of his
annual payroll. In other words,
If his tax rate is i Of / per
cent and his payroll is $40. 900. he
can pay a total Of $40 in benefits
without decreasing his reserve
fund. AS benefit payments rise
and his reserve fund decreases.
the employers contribution rate
Is forced up.
The history of Washington's re-
serve fund is as follows:
From the time the law was es-
tablished in 1889 until 1943. all
employers were charged what is
called the standard" rate of 81
per cent. Under this tax a reserve
fund built UP rapidly. and in l943
reduced rates. based on the expert
ence of the first four years were
established. There we're 2 per
cent, Is per cent. per cent. S per
cent or i per cent depending on
the status of the individual en-
ployer's own reserve fund.
Most of the larger firms in
Washington have been taxed at
the i per cent rate since the re-
ductions went into effect. and as
the result of the unsettled en-
ployment situation at the end of
the war, many Of them have whit

Two Senate supporters of the
pact insisted yesterday the pact
merely recognizes existing facts.
They were Senators Mcmahon.
Democrat, of Connecticut, and
Fulbright, Democrat, Of Argansas.
They appeared on q radio and
television forum, in which Sena-
tor Donnell, Republican, of Mis-
souri,. and Watkins. Republican,
Of Utah. raised questions against
the treaty.
This pact is in recognition Of
the facts: it doesn't make the
facts" said Senator Mcmahon.
I'VE might as well recognize that
If war starts anywhere. it's our
business. What we must do is pre-
vent the next war"
Senator Fulbright said he be-
lieved neither of the two world
wars would have occurred "if the
aggressor had known this coun-
try would come In"
Senator Donnell argued the pact
lis a direct commitment for this
country to 60 to war if any Of the
other IL signers is attacked dur
ing the next 20 years, and thus
should receive most deliberate
consideration.
The extent to which the United
States would be morally" COM

George Fears Europe Will Ask
Us to Garrison Its Frontiers

AS discussed by some senators
the proposed reservation would
say that in ratifying the treaty
the Senate is not promising auto
matically to back it up with mill
tary supplies.
This would be offered as a
compromise between those who
are dead set against sending any
arms to Europe and those who
believe the treaty must be imple-
mented by military help at once.
Discussion of the treaty-most
of it critical-is expected to be
resumed in the Senate with its
signing.
Attacks by Senators Donnell,
Republican, of Missouri and Wat
kins, Republican, of Utah have
indicated there Is some serious
opposition. Since support of two
thirds of those voting is needed
for ratification, the administra-
ton may be willing to meet some
of the critics part way.
The proposed no-commitment
arms reservation would have TO
have majority support of those
voting for adoption. However. it
would merely be attached to the
treaty as an American reservation
and would not require renego-
tiation Of the pact.
Adoption of a no-commitment
reservation still would leave the
administration free to 60 to Con-
gress with a request for foreign
military funds.
I Mr.. Acheson has said fatty that
I'VE expect to ask the Congress to
supply our European partners
some Of the weapons and equip
ment they need to be able to re-
sist aggression" He added:
I'VE also expect to recommend
military supplies for other free
nations which will co Operate with
US in safeguarding peace and

Once any treaty hurdle is
cleared in the Senate, the admin
istration needs to win only a ma
jority vote in both Houses to get

Legislation to authorize the pro-
posed arms program is being pre-
pared at the State Department.

Of the anticipated cost, but it Is
expected to run between $1,000

munciation Of the near riot.

Saying he had asked police to
prevent violence. Mr.. Albertson
declared in a statement:
Pittsburgh had a taste last
might of a fascism in action. The
violent attack on the Communist
rally was organized and carried
through by Pittsburgh's blue
shirted Hitler-like storm troopers.
The police did not do their
duty. The police condoned the
attack, permitting the maltreat-
ment of innocent bystanders. and
refused aid when called upon"
Police Supt. Harvey J. Scott
jumped to the defense of his men.
Supt. Scott said Mr.. Albertson' s
comments about the Police De-
partment were Just about what
we expect from Communists. -

pickets were outside the hall Sat-
urday night along with the spec
tators. He said none of the pickets

from the spectators.
He identified the pickets as

BY the Associoisd Press

Senator George, Democrat. OF
Georgia, said today he fears
American troops may be asked to
garrison Western Europe's from
tiers as an outgrowth of the North
Atlantic security treaty being
signed today.
While Senator George said he
favors the principle of the mutual
assistance pact, he does not think
the United States should be asked
to furnish any except surplus mill
tary supplies to European sigma
tories in the first year Of the
treaty's operation.
Our financial burdens are 60
ing to be tremendous, he told a
reporter. I'VE are going to have
to increase our military aid to
Greece and Turkey. Congress is
going to have to provide some kind
of program to help nom -Commun-
ist China. We may increase our
own military expenditures over
budget estimates.
But what I am really afraid
Of" he said. lis that if we start
out to develop full-scale pro-
gram of military aid for Western
Europe. these countries will want
us to garrison their frontiers with
American troops"
Senator George; who heads the
Senate Finance Committee and is
member of the Foreign Relations
group. said he feels it might be
better for all concerned to let the
the treaty operate Is months
without much stress on efforts to
re-arm Europe.
He said such . course would
help dispei the Russian charge
that there Is any aggressive intent
to the security pact.
There are signs that when the
treaty reaches the Senate a reser-
vation will be offered which would
bar any advance commitment to
re-arm Europe.
Senator Baldwin. Republican. of
Connecticut, treaty supporter,
said If such a proposal is made,
1t might be acceptable as an in
terpretive" reservation.
II don't think the pact itself
commits us to arm Europe" Sem
ator Baldwin said. The decision
on that question must remain
open to Congress. But I'm per-
fectly aware that the proposal will
be made as a natural outgrowth
of the treaty"
