Nixon Promises Proof
Officials Tried 10 Hide
Facts in Hiss Case
Some Congress Members
Approve Conviction Of
Former u. S. Aide

Representative Nixon, Republi-
can of California. said last night
he intends to give the House in
formation to prove a deliberate
effort on the part of certain high
officials in two administrations" to
hide the facts in the Alger Hiss
case.
His comment came as some
members of both Houses greeted
with approval the conviction of
Hiss On perjury charges. Most of
those who hailed the verdict are
known to be critical of the ad-
ministration.
Mr.. Nixon, who was credited by
Whitaker Chambers, the prosecu-
tion's chief witness, with spear
heading the Hiss investigation,
made his charges in a radio inter
view with Bert Andrews, Wash
ington correspondent of the New
York Herald Tribune.
Refers to Truman Remark.
Asked If he knew why Hiss was
not investigated by the Govern
ment some years ago, Mr.. Nixon
replied:
'All I can tell you at this mo-
ment is that I believe President
Truman will have further reason
to regret his red herring remark. +"
That was reference to Mr..
Truman's repeated statement that
congressional investigations into
Communist activities-especially
those concerning the Government
were just a red herring to draw
attention from the record of Re-
publicans in Congress.
Sees Methods Vindicated.
Mr.. Nixon added:
It have which

this conspiracy would have come
to light long since had there not
been a definite, determined and
deliberate effort. on the part of
certain high officials in two ad-
ministrations to keep the public
from knowing the facts
Earlier, Mr. Nixon, member
of the House Committee on I'm
American Activities, told reporters
that if the committee had not
been in existence, "the Hiss case
would never have reached a con-
clusion."

FEPC Delayed Again
As Rayburn Decides
To Call Up Older Bill
Foreign Affairs Proposals
Get Priority Under Rule
Of Unfinished Business
By Chris Mothisen

Tomorrow will be loose -end day
in the House. instead Of the long
awaited and much contested FEPC
day.
Speaker Rayburn announced
late yesterday that the first busi-
ness will be a bill to expand par
ticipation of the United States in
several international organizations
something the House had under
consideration last october 10 and
then put aside.
Thus, Mr.. Rayburn snuffed out
the hope of Chairman Lesinski of
the House Labor Committee to call
up the Fair Employment Prac-
tices measure.
Southern Democrats can be ex-
pected to take an uncommon in

troversial foreign affairs measure
and keep the House talking about
it through full business day.
Discretion Rests With Rayburn.
Administration Democrats. with
substantial Republican help, beat
down a rules change attempt Fri

the FEPC bill and many other

'Quickie' Excise Slash
May Bypass Truman

George Denies Threat
To Presidents Proposal
For Boost in Some Levies

A tax-cutting drive aimed at a
"quickie" slash in excise levies
was threatened on Capitol Hill
yesterday ahead of President
Truman's forthcoming one pack
age tax plan.
Chairman George of the Sem
ate Finance Committee said the
Senate may be compelled to
take some action quickly on ex-
cises without waiting for the
House to act on the Presidents
program.
And when the Senate takes up
the excise legislation, he told re-
porters, there is no telling how
deep the cut will go. The senti-
ment is so strong for reducing
these taxes that the cut may &c
to S1,500, 900, ,OOO."
Some administration leaders

in a "quickie" bill it then will
pigeonhole Legislation recon-
mended by Mr.. Truman to make
up the loss by higher taxes in
other directions. Senator George
disagreed.
Truman Plan Due Tomorrow.
The White House announced
yesterday that, Mr.. Truman's tax
program will be transmitted to
Congress tomorrow.

of about $3.50, ,000 900 in excises. or

ly concerned by the indications,
becoming more frequent, that the
Railway Labor Act, once a model
for keeping labor peace, is fast be-
coming ineffective.
The 24-year-old law, which for
years has been cited as the No.
exhibit by the advocates of the
voluntary approach to settlement
of labor-management differences.
will be the subject soon of exhaus-
tive study. Officials are anxious
to find out why the machinery is
no longer keeping the peace and
how its effectiveness can be res
tored. At the moment, no one
seems to have the answer to the
last question.
Trainmen Tie Up Steel Plant.
The latest sign that the law is
no longer working came yesterday
at Pittsburgh. About 400 Brother

ployed on a small road of the

erS off the job. It was not the fact
that the trainmen struck that con-
Germs the Government so much.
1t was the way they did tin
complete disregard for labor act
machinery.
The j. g. L. railroad workers
f1outed perhaps the two most i'm
portant parts of the Railway La
Dor Act. Their quarrel with the
company was over discharge of
conductor. just grievance under
their contract. The union by
passed completely the grievance
adjusting part of the law, known
as the Railroad Adjustment
Board.
Instead of taking it's case for
rehiring the conductor to the
board. as prescribed by law, the
union. Immediately after media
tion efforts failed to bring settle
ment, threatened a strike. That
forced President Truman to ap-
point an emergency board to look
into the dispute. After the board
upheld discharge of the conduc-
tor, the trainmen struck anyway.
The law doesn't compel either
side to abide by board recon-
mendations. But the act indl-
Gates they should do so and for
years there was an unwritten un-
derstanding between rail labor
and management that they would
follow such recommendations.
Grievances Are Another Matter.
Federal officials point out that
presidential emergency boards are
intended to handle differences
over new contracts, disputes as
to wages hours and working rules.
The boards were never intended
to handle grievances. disputes
over Interpretation of contracts
and related matters. That is sup
posed to be the job of the ad-
justment. board.
The J. & L. strike is just one
of numerous instances where the
railway labor law has failed to
keep the peace. The big Missouri
Pacific Railroad was shutdown
for more than a month last year
in similar dispute. In that in
stance, the workers walked out
because of an accumulation Of
scores of grievances. President
Truman did appoint an emergency
board. but the board took one look
at the dispute and kept its hands
off. 1t said it was something that
should be handled by the Adjust
ment Board.
There is a reason and a good
one. officials say, why the unions
now are by-passing the Adjust
ment Board. The board for the
operating rail employees is so over
loaded with cases that it now
takes two or three years for a
grievance to be heard. The work.

ing the 100000, 900 Korean aid bill.
Mr.. Truman made public a let
ter from Secretary of State Ache
Aeheson Blast Finds Sore Spot in Soviet
China Relations. Page At
Reds Expected to Use Millions of Chinese
Abroad. Poge C-l
son predicting it would be disas-
trous for the foreign policy of the
United States to consider the
House vote as the last word on the
question.
By the slender margin of 1872 to
1911, the House turned down the
measure which would have kept
economic aid going to Korea from
February Is to June 80.
Shortly before the President
spoke out late yesterday, Chair
man Connally of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee called
the Korean aid bill important
and indicated the Senate might
find way to revive it if the House
takes no further action in the near
future.
State Department DiSmayed.
Secretary Acheson told the
President the action of the House
was received by the State De-
partment with concern and dis
may" If not quickly repaired, he
wrote. this action will have the
most far-reaching adverse effects
upon our foreign policy. not only
in Korea, but in many other areas
of the world"
Although the Senate passed the
Korean aid bill at the last session
it could start the ball rolling again
on a revised measure, or could
attach it to some other foreign
economic aid bill.
The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee has pending at this
time a bill by Republican Sen
ators Knowland of California, and
Smith of New Jersey, to extend
until June 80 the February Is
cutoff date for use of $1O6,00O,-
600 still available for economic
assistance to the Chinese Ma
tionalist government, which is
making last stand on Formosa
against the Chinese Communists.
In some quarters the House
rebellion against further economic
aid to Korea has been interpreted
as part of the Republican pro-
test over the adminstra tons
recent decision not to give any
military aid or advice to Formosa
1t also has been viewed as an
indication that all foreign spend
ing programs will have rough
shedding at this session.
Could Be Added to China Bill.
When Mr.. Truman announced
recently no military aid would
be given Formosa, he made 1t
clear economic assistance could
continue under existing legisla-
tive authority. The 1949 ECA act
however, set February Is dead
line on economic funds for non-
communist areas of China.
One possibility is that the SEN
ate Committee might take up the
bill to extend economic aid to the
Chinese Nationalists until June
80, and add the Korean economic
fund to it as an amendment. This
could have the effect of attracting
more Republican support for
Korea.
Senator Connally did not tie
himself down yesterday to han
ding the two questions as one,
or separately, but made it clear
ne agrees it is important to con-
tinue helping the democratic gov
ernment in South Korea. Sena-
tor Connally said that, while the
Communists are in Northern
Korea, "they have not been max
ing much headway against the
South"
