RICHMOND, Va, Mar. 24.-It
was more than a year ago that
l.. j. H. Herwig, retired Army
major, sued the Government.
He claimed the Government had
Illegally sued him as a tax delin-

The Alexandria District Court
dismissed the suit. But Maj Her.
wig is appealing and a Federal
Appeals Court is supposed to re-
view the case next month-April
Is.
Maj. Herwig is trying to get a
later date, and among the reasons
cited in a motion presented to the
Appeals Court is this one:
Appellant is superstitious and
highly sensitive to having his case
set down for hearing on Friday,
April 10, 1851"

All will be thoroughly investi-

Army added. AS added require
ments. the men must be I'M
married and must have some
English language literacy."
The Army said reasons for the
April draft-call cut were that
January and February voluntary
enlistments totaled $4,000, rather
than the 10000 anticipated; Ko-
rean casualties are $4,000 below
earlier estimates; the need for a
better ratio of officers and en-
listed men.
Goal Set for June 30.
Despite the change. the Army
expects to meet it's 1.6 million
man goal by June 80. 1t now has
about IA million. Officials said
they hope volunteering will hole
at the 23.000-a-month rate. Some
officials saw the possibility that
the radical draft cut might de-
crease volunteering. But if that
happens, they added, calls could
easily be revised upward.
The announced draft call fol
May is 10000.
Officials also said the reduced
draft call is not expected to inter-
fere with plans for releasing re-
servists or speeding up the rota-
ton of battle veterans from Korea
Some Marines Returned.
Marine Corps sources-hoping
the corps would be the first

turned to this country from Korea

All the new plans, however, the
officials stressed. are contingent
on possible changes in world de-
velopments.
Elsewhere on the manpower
front, meanwhile, Col. Asher w.
Hartman, Virginia draft director
said a new call will be issued for
physical examinations of 5000
men. No orders for induction are
issued until results of these tests

Jesse Jones Renews
Suggestion 10 Abolish
RFC in Letter 10 Byrd

A renewed suggestion by Jesse
Jones. former head of the Recon-
struction Finance Corp. that the
huge Government lending agency
be abolished today gave strength
to the argument of opposing Sen
ators who will consider a reor-
ganization plan next week.
Earlier this month, Mr.. Jones
made q suggestion in letter to
Senator Fulbright, Democrat, OF
Arkansas, chairman of the sub
committee investigating charges
of political influence on RFC lend
ing policies. Last year, in public
statement. Mr.. Jones had made
the same suggestion. Yesterday
he sent letter to Senator Byrd,
Democrat, of Virginia stating he
doubted that the Fulbright sub
committee had more than
scratched the surface.
Meanwhile, with the hearings
in Easter recess, investigating
Senators studied what appeared
to be a method of buying income
tax deductions.
Letter Placed in Record.
The group has placed in its
official record a letter it demanded
from Francis NJ Rosenbaum,
Washington lawyer. Mr.. Rosen-
baum is a brother of Joseph H.
Rosenbaum, whom the subcom-
mittee has named as a member
of an influence clique powerful
enough to sway RFC judgment on
the granting of huge loans.
Mr.. Rosenbaum letter, the sub
committee said. fills in gaps left by
his brothers testimony when the
tax angle bobbed up in hearings
three weeks ago The letter said
the Rosenbaum law firm acquired
an option to purchase Brooklyn
firm because "it had valuable
tax carry-forward" which the
present owners were mot in posi-
ton to utilize"
AS explained by Mr.. Rosenbaum,
the "tax forward" means
that operating losses the firm had
incurred could be claimed as an
income tax deduction by whoever
purchased it.
Practice Denounced.
Senator Fulbright, in a public
hearing, has denounced the prac-
tice as improper" trading in in
come tax deductions.
While Senator Byrd was get
ting the support of Mr.. jones to
: abolish the RFC, another group
was being formed to fight for the
life of the agency. 1t is called the
Small Manufacturers Emergency
Committee. Wendell Berge, for
mer head of the Justice Depart
ment's antitrust division. who an
nounced formation of the commit
tee, said the abolition of RFC now
would be the death blow for small
business enterprises.
Byrd Will Push Bill.
Senator Byrd planned, however.
to go ahead with his bill to abol-
ish the agency. The first test will
come early in April. when the
Senate must decide what to do
about President Humans reor-
ganization plan, substituting an
administrator for the board of
directors of RFC. Senator Byrd
made public the following excerpt
from Mr.. Jones letter:
Dear Harry:
Il have your letter and your
bill-which I approve. I am. of
course, shocked at the exposures
Senator Fulbright's committee has
brought out and doubt if he has
more than scratched the surface
If we cannot have integrity in
our Government, why sacrifice
our boys in Korea and our billions
in defense of our country? ~
