However, there's nothing to pre-
vent a man-say Irene DUPONT

the publishing" business. More
over, the donor can take the con
tribution to CFEF off his income
for tax purposes which he can't dc
with gifts to the Cog. Then there's
nothing to prevent the CFEF from
purchasing" $4,000 worth of books
from the CCG and distributing
them. In addition, there's nothing
to prevent Americas Future, also
''tax deductible", from borrowing
the Cog staff for 20 percent Of the
time and meeting 20 percent of the
payroll. Rumely admitted on the
stand that Americas Future does
just this, after Fitzgerald produced
records including photostats OF
checks which Congressional inves-
tigators obtained from the Nation
al City Bank in New York, that
there was no organic connection be-
tween the CCG and the CFEF OF
Americas Future. However, he adj
mitted they sometimes worked to-
gether for economy.

ional investigators found the fol

CFEF, Feb. l, 1850; 5000 to CCG

put them into the record. Rumely
said he was submitting "explana-
tions" but the implication was that
all of them, however veiled, were
contributions to the CCG that
should have been reported but

Faces Contempt Charge For
Refusal To List Buckers

Washington (LPA)-The House
Select Committee on Lobbying Ac-
tivities was expected to ask the
House of Representatives to cite
Edward A. Rumely for contempt
of Congress. Rumely is executive
secretary of the Committee for
Constitutional Government, million
dollar anti-labor, anti-Fair Deal
lobby organization.
Rumely made such a move al
most a foregone conclusion Aug,
% when for the third time he re-
FUSED to tell the lobby probers
where the big money behind his
group comes from. 1t was expected
that contempt citations also would
be asked for William Patterson, ex-
ecutive secretary of the Civil
Rights Congress and Joseph Kamp
of the Constitutional Education
League. The Civil Rights Congress
is Communist front. The Com
mittee on Lobbying was scheduled
to vote on the citations Aug. 26.
At the Aug. 25 hearing, Rumely's
testimony under questioning by
Ben Fitzgerald, counsel for the
Lobby Probe, and Rep. Frank
Buchanan Cd, Pa.), chairman, re-
vealed new information about the
workings of the Committee for
Constitutional Government. Buch-
anan has charged repeatedly that
the CCG is the top organization in
an anti-labor, anti-Fair Deal net
work. 1t turns out now that it has
little network of its own as well
as links through it's hackers to such
organizations as Merwin X. Hart's
National Economic Council. The
"little network" gives some of
Rumely's hackers chance to de-
duct their contributions for tax
purposes and gives Rumely him.

from the public.

NLRB hearings.
81 Evicted one of the discharg-
ed employees from a company-own-
ed house.
The board ordered Carter ia
cease refusing permission for union
meetings and to stop using law of
ficers and court proceedings to halt
meetings. In addition, the company
was ordered to get the injunction
against meetings withdrawn, rein
state the discharged workers with
back pay, give the house back to
the man evicted and reimburse him
for any loss sustained.
Paul Herzog disagreed on this
one point. He said that the Texas
court which granted the injunction
might have acted "inconsistently''
with federal law and admitted that
the company's motive probably was
Interference with employe rights.
However, Herzog declared, the
board must administer the law with

Foundry Workers Back Accident
Prevention Bureau In Labor Depf.

| Washington (LPA) - Five mer
-four of them presently working
in foundries-presented an urgent
plea to Congress Aug. 23 for quick
action on a bill to set up Bureau
of Accident Prevention in the
Labor Department. They came
from the foundry workers division
of the United Auto Workers, and
were supporting bill introduced
by Rep. Tom Burke Cd, Ohio), him
self UAW member and official
who formerly worked in this haz-
ardous industry.
Rep. Roy Wier Cd, Mimi, a
former AFL official who is well
Iaware of foundry conditions,
agreed with the witnesses that "a
foundry is the last place in the
world where anyone would want to
work"
The bill supported by Heinz
Sieve and the other JAW wit
nesses, provides that the Bureau
of Accident Prevention would study
conditions of employment in haz-
ardous industries, would develop
safety methods and standards of
operation. 1t would set up accident
prevention boards for each haz-
|ardous industry, representing work
ers, employers and the public.
Key provision in the bill is the
one ordering these industry boards
to make rules and regulations for
the elimination of unsafe and un-
healthful conditions, including the
prevention Of accidents and occu-
pational diseases, and the construc-
tion, repair, INSPECTION and main
tenauce of establishments in the
industry. These rules and stand
ards would be drawn up after pub
lie hearings. After they have been
approved by the Secretary of
Labor they would be enforceable
by law with a $1,000 fine or six
months Imprisonment as the pen
alties.
The only way to get real COM
pliance, the UAW men told the

The American Gas & Electric
Company of which The Ohio Power
Company is part will start con-
struction Immediately on a new one
million, fifty thousand kilowatt
super power plant on the Kanawha
River near Charleston, w. Va.
The initial installation at the
new plant will consist of two 175
thousand kilowatt high-pressure,
high temperature generators. The
first unit is scheduled for compile
tion in 1852 and the second in 1858.
Capacity from the new Kanawha
River Plant will be available to The
Ohio Power Company as well as
the other operating companies of
The American Gas & Electric sys-
tenn which serves 10000 square

Excess Profit Tdx Would
Serve Notice On Business
O'MdhoneY Tells Senate

Washington (LPA)-This nation
cannot afford to be tender with
profits while it is drafting its
young men, Sen. Joseph c. O'Ma-
honey Cd, Wyo.) told the Senate
Aug. rs, in an appeal for support
of the proposal to tax excess pro
fits. He and Sen. Tom Connally
Cd, Tex.) wanted to add the
amendment to the 1850 tax bill.
If the Senate does add the excess
profits proposal to the tax bill
O'Mahoney said, at gives notice tc
the profiteers and the honest busi-
ness men that they have been call
ed to the fiscal colors." He warned
that delay would make it "immea-
surably" harder to impose such a
tax.
The Wyoming Senator was back
ed up by Sen. Paul Douglas Cd.
Ill., and heckled most frequently
by Sen. Walter George Cd, Ga. }
and by Sen. Robert Kerr, Cd,
Okla).
"Are leaders of capital unwill-
ing," O'Mahoney asked, "to contri-
butte of their profits now to make
certain that the men who are fight
ing for us on the front shall have
the arms and guns and equipment
, now?"
O'Mahoney predicted that, if the
present sky-high profits of Ameri-
can business continue, his proposal
would add $5R billions to federal
income. The O'Mahoney-C Connally
amendment would tax profits in
excess of so percent of company's
profits in the 1916 to 1949 year
period. 1t would take 85 percent
of such profits as taxes, with a
$4,000 exemption for each COM
pany.
Another amendment with strong
support is expected to be that by
Sen. Francis Meyers Cd, Pa.) to
raise the rate of taxes on corpor-
ate income.
Sen. Hubert Humphrey Cd,
Mimi told the Senate that, Gun
less price gouging and the rise in
the cost of living is stopped there
are going to be many strikes, be-
cause a working man who earns
$50 or $50 week cannot continue
to pay the increases in the cost of
living.
"When he sees men becoming
multi-millionaires, when he sees
corporate profits higher than ever
before in history; when he sees di
vidends increasing greatly, what do
Senators think the average work
ingman is going to do?"
Humphrey, O'Mahoney, Connal-
ly, and Meyers have Joined with
several other Senators to propose
liberal amendments to the tax bill.
Others include Paul Douglas Cd,
ILL.,, Herbert Lehman Cd, NY),
William Denton Cd, Conn.,.

senior vice president of the Wash
ington Loan & Trust Co., was
the first speaker on the three
day program.
MIR. Fisher based his cheerful
business statement on the con-
tinued new peaks in District bank
clearings, which were up Is per
cent in the first four months of
the year, compared with those in
the same period a year ago; new
high records in daily telephone
calls and the number of tele-
phones in use; gains in postal
revenues, increased electricity
sales and many other signs. Only
department store sales showed a
slight decrease.
Recalls Recession Forecasts.
When he took Office a year ago
many dire predictions of recess
sions were heard, none of which
has come true, he commented.
Any recession that might de-
velop would be mild, as Wash
ington is not an industrial city,
he added.
The Capitals banks are in a
sound position, deposits having
increased about $50 million in the
first four months of the year. A
further increase of $19 million in
bank loans was reported on April
"a, date of the last condition call.
Most important of all, Mr..
Fisher said, has been the increase
in capital funds in the banks.
These funds gained $2.5 million
in 1949. and have climbed to $70.-
100000, with substantial gain
in the first quarter.
Mr.. Fisher announced that as
sociation headquarters are being
moved from the American Secur-
ity Building to 1760 N street NV.
Contracts now are being signed
with the National Association of
Broadcasters for the purchase of
the property for $57,500.
