Extreme Subsidy Unwarranted.
In supporting his arguments for
increased rates for postcards, the
President said. that most of these
are used for commercial and ad-
vertiSing purposes and that the
cost of handling each card is 2.8
cents. To double the 1-cents car
1ying charge, he said, would raise
about SAT million.
If the rates on second -class
matter are doubled, he said, 1t
would raise about $40 million.
Even at that, according to Mr..
Truman, "the general taxpayers
would still be subsidizing second
class mail to the extent Of more
than 60 per. cent of its total cost. -
He said the cost of handling
this matter will run to about $242
million in fiscal 1852"
The President said that the
original intention of setting news
paper and magazine rates low to
encourage the spread of informa-
ton and education lis still de-
sirable objective, but clearly does
not warrant a subsidy as extreme
as that which now exists"

In Brutality Protest
BY the Associated Press

ANGOLA, La, Feb. 27.-Ten
. Louisiana State Penitentiary con-
victs sliced the tendons of their
right heels yesterday in another
protest against brutality" at the
Angola prison farm
They were among the 81 pris-
oners who cut the tendons of
their left heels during the past IL
days as protest of brutality they
claimed existed.
The newest cutting came when
Camp Supervisor c. P. Haygood

oners to be moved. The men
pulled out double-edged razor
blades and cut their heel tendons,
Warden Rudolph Easterly said.
Warden %Easterly reported the
men declared they were afraid
they were to be returned to Camp

habitual criminals are housed.
Gov. Earl Leng and prison off,

BREMEN, Germany, Feb. 27.-
United States District Judge Rob-

$4,000 the bail for Arthur Ger
shon, held in connection with IL
legal transport of gold into Ger

United States officials told the
court they had information that
Gershon may have received 25,

Montgomery Council
Hears Arguments on
Proposed Taxi Meters

Arguments on a proposed ordi-
nance authorizing meters in taxi
cabs were presented the Mont
gomery County Council at a hear
ing last night. No action was
taken.
Joseph S. A. Girardina, trans
portation director for the Mary
land Public Service Commission,
said that "taximeters are the solu-
ton" for Montgomery County
cabs. The meters can be used for
group riding, he pointed out, con-
trary to the belief of many cab
drivers.
S. w. Parrish, part-owner of
the Black g. White Cab Co., Silver
Spring, said meters would be the
only salvation for his company be-
cause another company "has been
setting cab rates to their own ad-
vantage"
Ralph G. Shure. attorney, rep
resenting the Takoma Park Taxi
Service. told the board that "the
District is not ready for meters
and we aren't either" Operators,
he said. are unanimously against
them and the meters would be a
disservice to the public on long
runs.
Mr.. Shure asked that Takoma
Park be excluded from the ordi-
nance since they already are gov
erned by city regulations.
Albert E. Conradis, former pub
lie utilities agent for the county,
who told the board he was repre-
senting the public, said meters are
the best for passengers because
they can see just what they're
being charged. He said there
would be no trouble about using
the meters in the District because
the District doesn't care what
county cabs charge. And we don't
care what the District charges
passengers here" he said.
A. L. Ward, Bethesda Cab Inc,
owner, said the public should vote
on the meter question. -.

NPA said the May tonnage was
reduced from a figure of approx
mately 100000 tons because of in
creased steel demand for other
programs supporting the defense
effort.
Order on Dollar Basis.
1t was also indicated that there
will be an increase i'll the pres
ent 20 per cent cutback in the
amount of zinc allowed for civil
ian use. NPA officials met with
representatives of the zinc users
industry, who said that reduc-
ton in the use of zinc for civilian
purposes was advisable to main
tain the defense programs.
Under today,S order for mainte-
nance, repair and operating sup
plies (MRO), a business or insti-
tuition will be allowed priorities
to buy supplies at the same rate
as the dollar value of such pur-
chases last year. In each quarter
the expenditures cannot exceed
one fourth of the 1850 total.
Since such purchases are on a
dollar basis, the order will mean
reductions in the actual volume
of materials where prices have
gone up.
Little Change in Appearance.
Under the NPA rubber specifica-
tions tires for light passenger cars
will be limited to IS per cent
natural rubber while larger tires
for heavier cars will be limited to
% per cent. Many of the tires
made now have only IS per cent of
the natural product in them while
the average is Is per cent, or 10
per cent under the level which has
been permitted.
AS the natural rubber content
goes down the percentage of syn
thetic rubber goes up. The pur-
pose of the order is to save natural
rubber, which must be imported,
for military uses where synthetic
does not serve as we'll, and for the
stockpile.
NPA said that the new speci-
fications will result in little change
in appearance, performance or
safety of the various products. :.
The only tires which may be
made entirely of natural rubber
are those for airplanes. This
applies also to tubes for plane
tires. Passenger car tubes, how
ever, must be made entirely of
synthetic except that in puncture
seal and safety tubes only as
much natural rubber may be used
as is necessary.
Balls to Retain Bounce.
The order permits a 10 per cent
use of natural rubber in over
shoes, while the percentage is
only in heels and soles for
shoes, and no natural rubber
may be used for crepe rubber.

said that in athletic goods the cut
in natural rubber was generally

the five tankers occurred in rapid
succession. That Is what Mr.. Casey
meant when he said everything de-
pended on experimentation"
Tox Low Helped
A principal result Of the deal, as
related by Mr.. Casey, was that he
and his associates later sold the
tankers, divided the profits and paid
a Is per, cent capital gains tax in
stead of the higher income tax rates.
Fleet Admiral William F. Halsey,
the late Secretary of State Edward
r. Stettinius, and julius c. Holmes.
Minister and Counselor at the United
States Embassy in London, were
identified as members OF the group
that engineered the deal with Mr..
Casey.
Others included E. Stanley Klein.

F. M. Bymun, Ellis Knowles. Charles

approximately $40 million from the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. and
bought the tankers from the Mari

of the tankers that originally cost
the Government considerably more.

Link TO LithofoId
On August "a, James B. E. Olson,
head of the bureaus Alcohol Tax
Unit in New York, resigned after
House Investigators received testi.
mony that he was paid $5,851 in
1s49 and 1850 by the American
Lithofold Corp. while on the Gov
ernment payroll. The testimony
indicated that Mr.. Olson figured in
the sale of Lithofold printing to
liquor concerns under his jurisdic-
ton.
On September "a, Walter Doxon,
an Internal Revenue agent in New
ark, N. j., was suspended after
testifying before a Senate investi-
eating subcommittee that he, too,
received sales fees from the st.
Louis printing firm while holding
his tax job.
On September 27, James F.
Smythe, collector in San Francisco,
seven lesser officials and one en-
ploye in that Office were suspended
pending an investigation relating
to incompetency." Off1cials said
one employe confessed juggling tax
accounts, and that another ad-
mitted embezzling from an employe

bureaus Detroit Office. He raised
questions about the associations Of
some of the agents and the han
ding of major tax cases. A deep
freeze, priority in getting an auto
mobile and fees from steel trans
action figured in his statement.
Senator Moody agreed to refer
the matters to the House committee
and Mr.. King said they would be
investigated.
The whole inquiry seems to be
muShrooming. Since the scandals
became known, every mail delivery
brings the King subcommittee a

Some is anonymous and some is

some good leads have turned up.
Months of Headlines
It is within the framework of all
these developments that the House
subcommittee is swinging into an
investigation that promises to be
headlined for months to come.
The seven n-man subcommittee was
set up originally, prosaically
enough, to look into the admins
tration of the revenue laws and
recommend changes to modernize
and strengthen the Governments
taX-collecting machinery.
Drawn from the traditionally
conservative tax-writing Ways and
Means Committee, it is composed
of Representatives King, Keogh of
New York, Combs of Texas and
O'Brien of Illinois (Democrats), and
Kean of New Jersey, Curtis of Ne
braska and Byrnes of Wisconsin
