Senator Taft suggested here last
night that the mobilization pro-
gram be extended over four years
instead Of three to lessen the i'm
pact on the domestic economy.
The Ohio Republican addressed
the final session Of the National
Housing Conference at the Hotel
Statler.
The Senator forecast a 500 bill
lion Federal budget for fiscal 1858
land said he believed budget
| $40 billion lower is "about all the
country can stand in taxation"
Sees Mobilization Needed.
Senator Taft agreed with Presi-
dent Truman that the mobiliza-
ton must be carried out even If
the Korean war ends now because
the threat of Soviet aggression
has not abated. He urged the ex-
tended mobilization period, how
ever, to relieve the tax burden.
The Senator told the conference
he thought there was justification
for construction of more than
$50 600 low-rent housing units next
year, but doubted that more would
Ibe authorized after the House slash
to 5000. The Senate voted last
week to restore the figure to 50,-
900 and Senate House conferees
are to meet on the measure this
week.

Legislation concurrently with con-
lstruction of new industrial plants.

gram providing at least $4,000
units for defense workers unable
to meet private housing rent rates.
The conference also urged the
House to accept the 50,000-unit
public housing program approved
by the Senate.
In other actions yesterday, the
conference:
/. Urged continuation of general
icredit restrictions with removals
only in defense industry areas.
2. Urged Federal assistance IN
housing for middle-income fam
lilies through about 8 per cent in
Iterest loans to cooperative ano
lother non-proflt organizations.

Remington Trial Told
Many Communists Fail
To Garry Party Card
Tufts Professor Testifies
He wos a Member, but
Never Had Credentials
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-The Gov
ernment attempted to show to-
day in the perjury trial of Will
liam w. Remington. former Com
merce Department economist. that
it was possible to be a Communist
Party member without possessing
a Communist Party card.
DR.. Howard A. Bridgman, as
sistant professor of economics at
Tufts College, Medford, Mass, tes-
titled he had been a Communist
Party member, starting in 1896,
and card never was issued to
him.
The defense has been stressing
that none of the Government
witnesses has shown Remington
ever possessed a card, and there
fore proof was lacking he had
been a Communist.
Saw Remington at Meetings.
Remington is accused of perjury
in that he lied to a grand jury in
denying he ever was Communist
Party member.
DR.. Bridgman testified he saw
Remington take IAN active and
vigorous part" in Communist
meetings in Knoxville, Tenn.
In presenting himself as a for
mer party member who had no
card, DR.. Bridgman disputed tes-
timony of the previous witness,
Kenneth E. Mcconnell of Weaver
vile, N. c.
Mr.. Mcconnell said under cross
examination he did not know OF
any Communist Party member
who did not have a party card
at some time.

Measure Asks End to Ban
On u. S. Permanent Promotions

Government job appointments to

The Miller bill introduced today
would allow permanent promo

who have status. Temporary
workers hired during the ma
tional emergency would not
be eligible for permanent pro-
motions. The measure would al
low permanent appointments for
displaced career workers.
Mr.. Miller declared that the
ban on permanent promotions
and transfers has caused "ad-
ministrative chaos" and unfairly
penalized deserving Federal en-
ployes.
The leave accumulation ban has

House investigators
Ask Wide Chances
In Election Statutes
Present Lows Called
Hodgepodee, Needing
Many Redefinitions

The Special House Committee
to Investigate Campaign Expend-
itures today recommended sweep
ing changes in the laws affecting
House elections.
In a report filed with the House,
the committee described the exist
ing laws as "a hodge-podge of
Inconsistency and confusion" that
do not deal effectively with the
problems OF the use of money in
congressional elections.
In releasing the report, Chair
man Mansfield of Montana pre-
dicted there probably would be
three contest over House seats
They are:
l. The 1st congressional dis
trict of New York in which Rep
resentative Macy Republican. was
defeated by Ernest Greenwood,
Democrat ana Liberal.
Ohio Contest Cited.
2. The 14th district of Ohio,
where Representative Huber,
Democrat, was defeated by Will
liam H. Ayers. Republican.
3. The Sd Pennsylvania dis
trict, in which Representative
Scott, Republican, defeated Maui
rice S. Osser, Democrat.
Sworn complaints have been
filed in these three elections by
the losing candidates.
In it's recommendations for
changes in the Federal Corrupt
Practices Act, the Hatch Act, and
other legislation affecting Con-
gressional elections, the commit
tee said:
"These statutes have been en-
acted and amended over a period
of many years. and there is a lack
of basic unity or philosophy. The
statutory scheme Of regulation, if
indeed such a hodge-podge of in
consistency and confusion can be
called a scheme. does not deal ef-
fectively with important problems
