Straus, one of the sponsors of the
Paul Robson concert that ended
in the Peekskill rioting last Sep
tember, said yesterday he has
received an "other than honorable
discharge as an Army Reserve
officer.
Mr. Straus is international vice
president of the CIO Fur Workers
Union. He held second lieu
tenants commission in the Infan-
try Reserve.
He made the announcement in
the public release of letter to the
adjutant general of the Army, say
ing he first learned of the act in
a gossip column of a Bronx news
paper. Later. on January 7, he
said he received a formal letter
from the Army notifying him OF
the discharge.
May I inquire as to why the
Army notified the press even be-
fore I had any indication of its
action?" he said in his own letter.
May I ask why I have received
no charges-why there was no
trial before this action was taken?'
Mr.. StrallS was one of "a Pohe-
son supporters taken into State
police custody when the concert
group broke up. He was released
a few hours later without charges
being filed.

After having won his point,
Senator Tydings reversed his po-
sition and agreed to call both Mr.

Senator Knowland frequently

Senate Agrees 10 Vote

Repeal Substitute

The Senate today agree to vote
at l pm. Tuesday on a substitute
for House-passed bill repeating
Federal taxes on oleomargarine.
The substitute, sponsored by Is
dairy State Senators, would repeal
the Federal taxes on margarine
but ban shipment of the yellow
product in interstate commerce.
1t also includes amendments re-
pealing wartime excise taxes
amounting to $628,00O,O0O a year
in Government revenue.
Senate Democratic Leader Lucas
sought unanimous consent yes
terday for vote at 4 pm. today.
But the move was blocked by
Senator Wherry, Republican, of
Nebraska, who said he would
have to consult with some of his
colleagues before consenting.
Senator Magnuson. Democrat.
of Washington has announced
that before a vote is taken on
the substitute proposal he would
move to strike from it the excise
tax amendments. One of the
sponsors of the substitute pro-
posal, Senator Magnuson said the
tax amendments weakened its
chances of adoption.
What action, if any, would be
taken on three civil rights amend
ments proposed by Senator
LANCER, Republican, of North
Dakota, remained to be seen.
He offered anti-poll tax, anti
lynching and fair employment

Spectators Crowd Hearings.
AS was the case yesterday when
only proponents of the bill were
heard, the big Senate caucus room
was crowded with spectators.
Before Chairman johnson
turned the attention of the COM
mittee to objections to the LANCER
bill, the Rev. DR.. j. Warren Hast
lngs, pastor of National City
Christian Church, Thomas Circle,
added his support.
II am the son of a drunkard
and know liquor from the point of
view of one who carries the scars
that were inflicted upon him by
his father when he was drunk, Z"
DR.. Hastings said. THE free and
loose advertising of liquor is wrong
because it helps to condition peo-
pie negatively"
Accused of Racial Allegation.
DR.. Hastings charged that the
liquor industry is dominated by
European ideology" and said he
had been told SO per cent of the
liquor dealers in Washington rep
resent one nationality of people. "
He did not identify the nation
ality, and Mr.. Soucy, who was the
next witness, charged the state
ment was an attempt to inject a
racial" factor.
In general, the "drys" are con-
tending that sale of alcoholic bev-
erages is permitted to satisfy an
existing demand. not to encour-
age wider demand. But, they say,
manufacturers are spending mil
lions in advertising to attract new
business by persuading drinkers to
consume more and converting
young persons to alcohol.
Tells of Restraints.
r. E. Joyce, president of the
Distilled Spirits Institute, a trade
association of distillers, told the
committee, on the other hand,
that the LANCER bill "is a clever
attempt to erect an obstacle in
the path of the orderly sale of
our products"
The distilling industry had i'm
posed advertising restraints on it.
