In New York Called
Virtually Complete
BY the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-The
Railway Express Agency said il
was practically out of business
today in the New York areas as a
result of an AFL Brotherhood OF
Teamsters strike.
Peace efforts were at least at q
temporary stalemate, with the
union refusing to go back to work
during proposed mediation talks
Officials at the Washington
express Office said the strike had
tied up all shipments to and
from New York, and cut the
volume of business here about
10 per cent.
The strike comes under provi-
sions of the Railway Labor Act
which requires a union to work
during mediation, but provides nc
penalties for noncompliance.

the National Mediation Board

Snyder Tells Bankers
Even Short Korea War
|WiII Have Hard Impact
By the Associated Pres,

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-Impact
of the Nations mobilization pro-
gram-even if the Korean wal
ends quickly-will be harder than
most people expect, says Secretary
of the Treasury Snyder.
"Tax increases all along the line
are inevitable" he said yesterday
in an interview at the 18th annual
convention of the American Bank
ers Association
Mr.. Snyder, guest of honor at
the convention, told an inter-
viewer:
II don't think that people have
any notion so far of the size of
the defense program this country
will get next year after Congress
has been at work for while.
"A quick end to the Korean war
will have no effect on the admin
istration's plans to put the country
on strong defense footing"
Profits Tax Expected.
Mr.. Snyder said a war profits
tax is almost certain.
He noted that Congress has
committed about $50 billion to
defense spending and foreign aid
in the fiscal year ending June 80,
1851. That figure probably will
rise materially the next year. he
added. and most of this money
must come out of taxes.
A war profits tax, the Secretary
said, is virtually a foregone con-
clusion. The Treasury. he added,
is working in close cooperation
with congressional groups to as
sist in formulating new tax legis-
lation.
The Bankers Association pre-
sented testimonial to the Secre-
tary which said in part:
Never before in the Treasury's
long history have there been such
difficult and complex national and
international financing problems.
Sparkman Addresses Meeting.
Our guest of honor (Mr.
Snyder) has approached the solu-
tion of these problems with poise,
patient research. a keen mind, a
spirit devoted to the welfare of his
country and to the interests of a
free world"
