drastic limitations on inStallment
credit, higher excise taxes on non
essentials and a ban on hoard
ing. Mr.. Hoover said there is
much less need at this time for
control of food and clothing.
8. The Senate shouted doWr
without a roll call an amendment
by Senator Capehart, Republican
of Indiana. intended to provide
a reasonable margin of profit fol-
all industries put under controls
Special Treatment Protested.
The amendment giving SUCH
protection to professors of meat
was offered by Chairman May
bank OF the Banking Committee
in charge of the bill. Before it
was adopted the Senate accepted
a change proposed by Republican
Leader Wherry of Nebraska to
make it clear the reasonable-profit
rule would apply to all wholesalers
of meat.
Republicans who supported the
Capehart amendment argued
there was no justification for
singing out the meat-packing in
dustry for special treatment. The
meat amendment. written into
the bill, reads:
"No ceilings shall be established
or maintained on products result
ing from ihe processing of cattle
and calves. lambs and sheep. and
hogs, the processing of each spe-
cies being separately considered,
which do not allow for a reason
able margin of profit to the
processing industry as a group on
each such species"
Meat Scarcity Recalled.
Senator Sparkman, Democrat
of Alabama, said it is not possible
to tell what effect it might have
on retail meat prices. He agreed
that if the ceilings had to be
raised substantially at the pro-
cessing level to meet the require
ments of the amendment. the in
creases probably would be reflect
ed in retail ceilings.
Recalling the scarcity OF meat
during the last war, Senator
Wherry asked what good it did
to tell housewives meat prices
were being kept within bounds
when they could not get meat.
When Senator Taft quoted Mr..
Hoover as suggesting Congress
could always act on a few days
notice if all-out controls become
necessary, Senator Maybank OBJ
served:
"Mr. Hoover has been President
and he ought to know that Con-
gress never moves that fast. We
ought to give these powers to
President Truman now so he can
act Immediately in an emergency

SOUTHAMPTON, England, Aug,
15.-British officials will board the
Polish liner Batory here tomorrow
to question two unauthorized
American passengers. one of whom
landed his rented seaplane beside
the ship a 100 miles off New York.
A British spokesman said Scot
land Yard and immigration Off
cials will interrogate the men be-
fore the Batory-in which Com
munist Gerhard Eisler fled the
United States in May, 1949-is
permitted to dock.
Their future here depends on
the answers they give" he said.
United States consular officials
may accompany the British party
aboard the Batory.
Men Under SemidetentiOn.
The two men under Semideten-
ton are:
William Jesse Newton of New
York, picked up by the Batory
after he circled the outward
bound vessel shouting for assist
ance. then landed his tiny rented
Seaplane beside it. He first gave
his name as Guillermo San Sc
baStian, a Mexican tourist.
Howard Campbell, who eluded a
close American security check on
the Polish liner to stow himself
away prior to its departure from
New York. The ships master dis
closed his presence in a radio
message.
Campbell, as a stowaway, will
probably be detained here and re-
turned to the United States,
agents of the Gdynia America
Line, operators of the Polish liner,

sage.
Newton's case is different.
Newton May Be Released.
If he can establish his claim to
having been a distressed airman

Senator Bridges made an unan-
nounced appearance recently be-
fore the District grand jury, then
probing into wire-tapping accu-
sations against 1t. Shimon. He
went there, authoritative sources
said, to confirm the account Sen
ator Brewster had given the
grand jury of having been fol-
lowed" during the 1947 hearings
Senator Brewster has told re-
porters that he paid 1t. Shimon
about $100 for expense" which
the police officer told him he had
incurred in tracing down that
shadow
Senator Bridges. who was chair
man Of the Senate Appropriation
Committee during the Both Con.
gress. said he could not discuss hi
appearance before the grand jury
He agreed he had written
letter to police department Of
ficials, praising services rendered
by 1t Shimon at various times. HI
said this was just like dozens o.
others" he had written commend
ing officials for cooperation.
1T had nothing to do with the
Hughes-Brewster issues" he, said
IT was not a member of that Wal
Investigating Committee.
Mr.. Fay assured the Pepper
Subcommittee yesterday the in
vestigation of wire-taping will con
tinue. But it was reported later
Evening star., 1950-08-15

that grand jury hearings on this
!, probably will not be resumed be"
, fore September. The statute Of
limitations would not bar prosecu-
ton of the Macy case until next
! spring.
One possible exception to this
is the case involving testimony by
Norman Whitaker. who figured in
the CASTOR B. Means 100000
, Lindbergh baby ransom hoax, OF
, which the late Mrs. Evalyn Walsh
Mclean was the victim. This case
may be taken up prior to Septem-
ber.
Mr.. Fay was sharply criticized
at the executive hearing yester-
day before the Pepper Subcom-
mittee by Senator Nicely, Demo-
crat, of West Virginia, head OF
the Senate District Committee
and member of the Pepper sub
committee.
His principal attack, witnesses
said, was on press interview Mr..
Fay had given last Friday when
he discussed failure by the grand
jury to bring indictments in the
Shimon wire-tapping cases.
Senator Nicely is said to have
protested that what Mr.. Fay said
could be taken to indicate cold
attitude toward the Senate in
vestigation. Mr.. Fay denied he
had any such intention and
sharply denounced wire-tapping
He said he had no knowledge that
1t. Shimon, formerly his chief
police investigator, had been en-
gaging in such works, until
charges were made against the
officer a year ago.
Ii. Shimon was transferred
from the United States Attorneys
Office last August and sent out to
No. IA Precinct. Since then he
has been brought into No. 2
Precinct.
One complaint against Mr.. Fay
was that nearly year elapsed be-
Tore the complaints against 1t.
Shimon were taken before the
grand jury.
But on his side it was explained
hat he was not in charge, since
his presentation was made by
especially assigned Justice Depart
Inent attorneys.
Report Routine Criticized.
Another complaint against Mr..
Fay was that he had not received
The report of Police Supt. Barrett
On the overlapping activities of
1t. Shimon, but rather asked that
it be sent to the Justice Depart
nent. The explanation here was
hat Mr.. Fay made this request
since he had been informed that
Maj. Barrett already had advised
The Justice Department he had
compiled the report.
Precinct Detective James G.
Bryant, witness at Senate hear
ings yesterday, repeatedly told of
having been directed by 1t. Shi-
mon to engage in tapping the
phones of Plane-Builder Hughes
at the Mayflower and Carlton Ho-
tells in l947 He said he turned
over to 1t. Shimon numerous
pages of typewriter notes, taken
down while listening to tapped
wires.
Detective Bryant, according to
reports, came up with the state
ment that 1t. Shimon had told
him the work was being done for
the Senate War Investigating
Committee in connection with the
Hughes case.

|luper-Tax on Incomes
OF individuals Studied
By Senate Framers
by the Asseciaied Press

Congressional tax law writers
today weighed the possibility OF
putting a super-tax in 1851 on
war-infiated incomes of individ-
uals as well as upon the excess
profits of corporations.
Moreover, in a search for new
revenue, the tax-framing Senate
Finance Committee ordered its
staff to explore the possibilities
Of:
1. A national wholesale or re-
tail sales tax.
2. A national transactions levy,
which might be an expansion OF
the retail sales tax idea to put
q tax on each transaction for
goods or services.
Chairman George said the staff
also will study proposals that
new excise levieS be put upon
non essential goods to discourage
buying.
The finance committee voted
not to make an excess profits tax
on corporations an addition to
President Truman's S. billion
first installment" tax boosting
bill, but told it's staff to prepare
proposals for such a levy to be
effective January l, 1851, with Its
possible extension to individuals
and partnerships.
Hoey Predicts Profit Tax.
Senator Hoey, Democrat, OF
North Carolina, committee
member, said Il think the COM
mittee action gives notice to all
corporations that in all proba-
bility an excess profits tax will
be enacted next year effective
January /, 1851" There still re-
mained the possibility of a Senate
floor fight to put an excess profits
tax on corporations into the pres
ent bill.
Senator George said the finance
committee and the House Ways
and Means Committee will meet
in November and December to
work on the second installment"
tax measure, regardless of whether
Congress is in session at the time.
He told reporters the idea of
extending the excess profits levy
to individuals is IAN effort to pre-
serve people with fixed and lin
tied incomes who would be
crushed by making regular in
come tax rates higher and higher"
If we're to save our whole sys-
tenn, we've got to preserve the
middle income people" Senator
George said. I'VE can't crush
them"
Senator George did not elab-
crate on what is contemplated in
the way of an excess profits levy
on individuals. There were indi-
cations the study would cover the
possibilities Of putting super
tax on increases in income since
the Korean war began, or from
some other fixed date.
The idea might be to put high
er rates on that part of a person q
income that IS above the pre-Ko-
rean war income, so it may not
be necessary to impose highest
rates on persons. whose income
has not increased.
Not Final Commitment.
| However, Senator George ano
other committee members said
they did not regard the order for
the studies as in any way q COM
mitment for later approval OF
sales taxes. transaction taxes and
excess profits levies for individuals
and partnerships.
The Finance Committee move tc
explore new possible sources OF
Federal revenue came as it vir-
tually completed action on the
Presidents "quickie" tax boost.
The committee already has ap-
proved unanimously a boost OF
about SO billion a year in indi-
vidual income taxes, and 81 bill
lion additional for corporations.
Congress may put 1t on Mr.
Truman's desk by September /.
