ness structure which is the basis
Of our prosperity and national
strength"
Karl Marx, the father of COM
munism, proposed heavy grad
uated income taxes as an effec-
tive way to communize an ad-
vanced capitalist economy, he
added.
The House bill would reduce
the income taxes of business con-
Germs with taxable income be-
tween 5000 and roughly $780,
900 year, but boost the taxes of
all companies above that level.
Mr.. Sigh predicted excise levies
would always form some part of
the tax system, but he sug-
gested a general manufacturers
excise tax in place of the pres
ent schedule. which includes re-
tail consumer taxes on many
articles.
The Finance Committee also
heard group of witnesses on
miscellaneous changes the House
bill makes in definitions of taxable
income.
Among these witnesses was j. R.
Killian, jr., representing the AS
sociation of American Universities,
who asked that educational insti-
tutions be left exempt. He said
Congress could rely on the taxa
ton of feeder corporations" to
stop any abuses of tax exemption
of non-profit institutions and to
tax unrelated income.
While the tax hearings are 60
ing on Majority Leader Lucas will
push for Senate passage of the
single-package appropriation bill
by the end of this week. He hopes
Senators will agree to a time limit
on speeches.
Senator Taft, Republican, of
Ohio joined in the Byrd demand
for less spending on the domestic
front. He said he would support
any increase In the military
budget that would bring decisive
victory in Korea.
Senator Taft said he would like
to get rid of the present excise
tax schedule, because it is not
applied equitably. He said It
might be better to knock excises
out and raise other taxes enough
to make up the loss. Although
the House bill reduces the excise
rates, it still keeps a substantial
tax on the same list Of articles
that were taxed during World
War II.
The rate of progress the Senate
makes this week on the appro-
priation bill may determine
whether Congress can make its
goal for an August recess.
Informed House sources pre-
dicted today there will be hard
fight in conference over the ap-
preparation bill if the Senate
leaves out entirely the Taber-
Thomas Jensen amendments,
which were designed to bring
about n overall reduction in Fed
eral personnel and travel funds.

HONG KONG, July 10.-Chi-
nese are leaving this colony three
times as fast as they are coming

Pravda Scores Use
OF u. n. Flag in Korea
As Shameful, Illegal
by the Associated Press

MOSCOW, July 10.-The Com
munist Party newspaper Pravda
today branded as Shameful and
illegal" fighting going on under
the United Nations flag in Korea.
In a New York dispatch, the
paper described as a Shameful
farce" the Lake Success resolution
OF July 6 placing American and
other forces aiding South Korean
under United Nations command.
From now on" the dispatch
said, these armies are to be call
ed the armies of the U. N. and will
act under the flag of the u. NJ"
Thus" it continued, there is
being formed under the flag of
the U. N. q coalition of imperial
ist beasts Of prey for the bloody
suppression Of the Korean peo-
pie" 2.
Use Called Illegal.
Pravda declared that use of
the U. N. flag in Korea is illegal
and does not express the real
will Of that body.
The paper declared that the
u. N. Security Council is no longer
a power, because the policies of
the United States have made "im-
possible participation in the Sc
curity Council Of the U. S. S. r.
and the Chinese peoples repub-
lic."
The paper said there is growing
alarm in the United States over
the Korean situation. Many Amer
leans feel that United States mil

and "hour by hour are dragging
the Nation into an open war"

ian treaty.
The United States, Britain and
France June Is rejected the first

Hits British Cruiser;
Six Aboard Are Killed
BY the Associated Press

TOKYO, July 10.-A Korean
Communist shore gun hit and
slightly damaged the British
cruiser Jamaica during naval op-

Six men were killed. The specific
time of the incident was not re-
leased. j
In London the Admiralty yes
terday announced the ship was
the 8.000-ton Jamaica. Four or
five of those killed were identified
as British Army men. Their pres
ence afloat was not explained.
A Royal Navy spokesman at
Hong Kong speculated the soldiers
might have been spotting land
targets for navy gunners.
These were believed to be the
first British casualties in the Ko-
rean war.
A British, spokesman said the
shell hit the Jamaica's super
structure.
The Jamaica was hit during an
intense American-British naval
bombardment In which naval
shells started landslides that
blocked the main road along Ko-
rea's East Coast. Red troops, held
up by the landslides. were then
shelled from the sea. +.

German Refugee Party
Maps Big Plans After
Good Election Showina
By the Assoeioted Press

KEEL, Germany, July 10.-Ger-
man refugees from Communist
Eastern Europe who showed them
selves yesterday to be a strong
potential political force in West
Germany. today began an ambit-
ious program.
In parliamentary voting yes
terday they got nearly a quarter
of the vote in the Schleswig- -Hol-
stein elections and won Is of the
state parliament's SO seats. There
were 1.341 ,754 votes cast.
It was the first time West Ger
many's 10 million refugees had an
opportunity for concerted action.
They showed they could be cohe-
sive force.
Nearly a million of them live
many in squalor-in this little
North German state. West Ger
man observers watched their first
test at the polls as an indication
Of the future.
Initial Program Outlined.
Today Waldemar Kraft, first
chairman of the Refugee Party
tBHE), outlined a brief initial
program. Kraft declared that one
of the first moves would be to
organize the refugee party on
West German federal republic
level.
This done, he said, the refugees
would demand dissolution of the
current Federal Parliament and
new elections in which the Refu-
gee Party would take an active
part.
No complete party platform has
been formally outlined by the
refugees, but their prediction
campaigning emphasized these
things:
/. Immediate equal sharing of
the war burden in West Germany.
The West German Parliament is
contemplating a law which would
distribute the burden among per-
sons financially able to bear it.
2. Quick creation of jobs for the
hundreds of thousands of unem-
ployed refugees.
Resettlement Program.
8. A broad reSettlement pro-
gram to relocate refugees into
States which do not now have a
concentrated population of refu-
gees.
4. Recognition of official rights
(such as pensions) for those refu-
gees who held public Office before
losing them to Nazis or Com
munists.
The new group cut deeply into
the strength of the established
political parties. The left wing
Social Democratic Party, which
has governed Schleswig- Holstein
for several years, lost its parlia-
mentary majority :. Tt received less
than one-third of the vote.
Right Wingers Win.
A right wing bloc-the Christian
Democrats. Free Democrats and
the German party-won first
place by pooling their strength be-
hind the same candidates in each
of the 46 electoral districts.
The combine is similar to the
right wing coalition federal govern
ment at Bonn, and oppose the
states present Socialist planned
economy.
Final official tabulation gave this
division of the. legislative seats:
Right Wing Bloc. 81; Social Dem
ocrats, 18; Refugees, 16; South
Schleswig Voters Union, 4.

tinued:
Chemical sterilization is re-
quired in all restaurants, hotels

sterilization is used for all the

seem that this restricted provision,
requiring steam sterilization, pro-
hibits the people of the District
from getting pure, wholesome milk
from outside the Washington
milkshed."
College Professors Called.
The producers association lost
no time in starting its counter
attack against the critics of the

ods.

Five of these experts, all college
professors, had appeared by tn,

Lead witness for the producer
was DR.. Robert L. Holland, profes
sor of dairy industry at Cornell
University.
Under questioning by Mr.
Leahy, DR.. Holland told the Com
missioners that the quality O
Washington milk ranks with tn,

Seckinger Explains Proposals.
Before DR.. Miller testified.
Health officer Daniel L. Seckinger
explained the provision of the pro-
posed regulations. It was DIR.
Seckinger who drew up the pro-
posed changes.
The second witness of the more
than 40 organizations scheduled
to appear was A. w. Fuchs, re-
presenting the Public Health
= Service.
. Mr.. Fuchs said the proposed
2 regulations concerning chemical
E sterilization would be a "hit or
miss" proposition unless definite
rules were set up to govern the use
S of the chemicals. He recon-
: mended that the Commissioners,
instead OF adopting the proposed
regulations as written, adopt all
;. OF the requirements of the Public
= Health Service code, not in con-
t f1ict with the existing law.
E The Public Health Service does
} not believe that there is a sound

tory sanitary quality, although we

Rules Waived in 1912.
The present law governing milk
was passed in 1925 by Congress

" farms must sterilize milk cans
with steam.

to disclose it either in court or to
the defense.
1t was this evidence of an "un-
communicated threat" to Griffin
that Attorney Kelly tried unsuc-
cessfully tried to get District Court
and later Court of Appeals to ac-
cept in his demand for new trial.
After the appellate courts re-
fusal last year the case went to
the Supreme Court, which in turn
ordered the appeals court to re-
consider and PROFOUND a rule on
the admissability of "uncom-
municated threats"
That such evidence concerning
Hunters opened knife should be
admitted seemed to the Appeals
Court in its present ruling logical
and humane" Judge Edgerton
then spelled out the new rule
in that regard:
when a defendant claims self
defense and there is substantial
evidence. though it be only his
own testimony, that the de-
ceased attacked him. evidence of
uncommunicated threats of the
deceased against the defendants
is admissible"
At the same time, the Appeals
Court clarified its view of the
prosecutions failure to inform
Grifin's lawyer of the pocket
knife evidence. Although Judge
Edgerton wrote that the court
has confidence in the good faith"
OF the prosecution. he emphasized
the necessity for the Government
to disclose to the defense any evi-
dence that may reasonably be
considered admissible and useful
to the defense.
In cases where the prosecution
may have substantial doubt about
such evidence, it is not for it Ito
decide for the court what Is ad-
missable or for the defense what
it useful"
In his dissent, Judge Clark de-
clared he wholly disagreed" with
the majority, adding that the
Supreme Court did not order his
court to establish an "uncom-
municated threats" rule.
mo such thing is to be found
within the four corners of the
Supreme Courts opinion" Judge
Clark asserted. ITO read any such
meaning into the plain and in
cisive language of the Supreme
Court requires clairvoyant powers
to which ordinary mortals cannot
aspire"
AS for the question of whether
Hunter directly or indirectly
threatened Griffin, Judge Clark
observed that no less than four
eye witnesses had testified that
Griffin not only killed Hunter
without warning" but had shot
at Hunters wife and baby and
fired several random shots.
Asserting that Griffin was the
"aggressor" in the Staying, Judge
Clark bitterly described Griffin as
"a bloody handed murderer who
has too long defeated the ends Of
justice"
In the light Of the present rul-
ing, the dissenting judge added,
ut is probable indeed that Grit
fin will die of the infirmities of old
age before he can be brought to
pay the penalty which he so rich
ly deserves"
Judge Clark concluded that as
far as he was concerned $50 long

decline to follow this case as a
precedent and in any similar case

This means that each division has
the required number of units such
as rifle organizations, anti-air-
craft outfits. medical units-but
does not mean the divisions are at
wartime strength. They, like the
Regular Army, would have to
build up manpower If called into

If the Regular Army decides to
reactivate divisions closed out in

Officials pointed out that the
