Wage Board Approves
Some Incentive Plans

The Wage Sterilization Board
voted yesterday to approve some
piece-work or incentive pay plans.
| A freeze on such plans had been
in effect since last January. The
board said it would approve plans
worked out by employers and
union providing for added pay for
increased worker output.
The new policy was Endorsed
by public and industry members
of WSB, with the labor members
dissenting. Most unions are OPP
posed to incentive pay plans on
the ground they require speed
ups" calling for more extra effort
than extra pay.
| Among the standards set up
were requirements that the plan
provide an earning opportunity at
least Is per cent above normal
rates and minimum wage guar
antee protecting a worker against
loss of earnings. There was also
requirement that unit labor cost
of the product made not be in
creased. No ceiling was placed on
the amount of incentive pay that
may be paid.

First Atom Heating Plant

LONDON. Nov. 81 (CDN) THE
worlds first atomic central heat.

station about an hour out Of
London.
Atomic energy instead of Goa
was issued to warm an 8O-roon
building. Next winter three more
buildings will be added to the sys.
tenn. And in 10 years Tarwel
scientists expect to start building
the first atomic power station tt
serve thousands of homes with
heat and light.
Here's how the present system
works:
Cold air is pumped into the
atomic pile and heated by passing
around hundreds of active ura.
MUM rods. Then it is pumped out
at high temperature at the oppo-
site side.
Warns Cold Water.
Heated air cannot be used d.
rectly as it might carry radioactive
particles. So first it passes through
filters and gadget called a heat
eXchanger. The heat exchangel
is like the automobile radiator
only IN reverse. Instead of colo
air cooling hot water. the hot all
from the atomic pile warns the
cold water which passes through
the heat eXchanger.
From this heat exchanger the
hot water is pumped around 8

other form of heat exchanger. II

from radioactivity. Meantime. no

French Dollar Crisis
Held Likely 10 Bring
New Bid 10 Congress
By John N. Hiehtower
Associated Press Stoff Writer

An urgent request from France
for fast dollar assistance from the
United States today heightened
the possibility that the admins
tration may ask Congress early
next year for a special foreign aid
appropriation.
! Britain is in about the same
economic plight as France. In
fact, almost all this country's Eu-
ropean Allies were described by
authorities as requiring consider
able help to maintain their de-
Tense production and their sched-
uled contributions to Gen. EiSen-
hoWer'S Western European mill
tary force.
Officials told newsmen that
within the next few days the
United States Government prob
ably will make final decision or
how much help the French need
Estimates range from 5000 mil
lion to $500 million. That would
be direct assistance aside from the
dollars the French may earn from
American troops stationed in their
country and from American ex-
penditures for military installa-
tons there.
Asked Special Help.
France has told the United
States, according to these in
formed sources, who may not be
named. that its anticipated dollar
earnings are such that it will have
to cut imports and reduce its de-
tense operations unless special
help is forthcoming promptly.
Congress this fall voted a mu-
tual security appropriation total
ling S7.328 billion. While the
great bulk of that was set aside
for the purchase of military equip
ment to be furnished to America s
Allies over the world. S1.022 bill
Ian was earmarked for economic
aid = primarily for Western
Europe.
Officials said certain required
expenditures out of this economic
aid fund leave a net amount for
distribution among United States
Allies in Europe of $3.50 million,
Congress also specified that up
to 10 per cent of the military
equipment funds might be diverted
to economic aid. a net of about
$3.50 million.
The $l,022 billion voted TO,
economic assistance was almost
s7OO million less than the admin

scrlbed that as one OF their big
difficulties.

worth something.

None of the ALLEGATIONS made

Although Britain's declining eco

Germ here as in London. the ex-
tent of Britains needs is reported
ly not yet known in Washington.
The French crisis was described
as the first to present itself clear
.ly and specifically.
What the French are seeking,
it was said, is assurance that their
total dollar income, including
funds from United States troops

amount to between $400 million
and 5000 million year.

expect from non assistance
sources and how much help they
will need in the form of grants.

In Alien Agents Case

District Court Judge Matthew
F. MCGUIRE yesterday acquitted
the Peace Information Center ano
four of it's former officers OF
charges of failing to comply with
terms of the Foreign Agents Regis
tration Act.
The defendants were cleared
when Judge MCGUIRE granted a
defense motion for a judgment
of acquittal. which had been ar
gued the greater part of the day
in the absence of the jury.
Judge MCGUIRE upheld the de-
Tense Interpretation of the law
that the center would have had
to act under control or through a
consent to be classified as pub
licity agent for the Committee of
the World Congress of the De-
tenders of Peace. He ruled that
the prosecution had failed to show
any such control or consent.
Stockholm Peace Appeal.
The prosecution had sought to
prove that the PIC. which was
disbanded last year, had acted as
publicity agent for the commit
tee in publicizing the so-called
Stockholm Peace Appeal. Under
this contention. the Government
had argued the center had been
an agent of a foreign principal
and should have filed a registra-
ton statement with the Justice
Department..
The center itself was on trial
on a charge of failing to register
and the individual defendants
were being tried on a charge of
having failed to cause" it to re-
glSter.
The individual defendants clear
ed through the judgement of &C
quittal were DR.. w. E. B. Dubois,
Negro educator and writer, de-
scribed as former chairman of the
center: Abbott Simon and Mrs.
Elizabeth Moos, listed as former
executive directors, and Kryle
Elkin. listed as former treasurer.
Secretary Cleared.
Earlier yesterday, Judge Nc
Guire had acquitted Miss Sylvia
Soloff o ia charge of failing to
cause the center to register. Miss
Soloff. who has been described as
a former secretary of the center
was cleared by Judge MCGUIRE on
the ground there was no evidence
to show she was an officer of the
center or that she had anything
to do with its policies. The de-
tense said she was a paid worker
for the center.

judgement Of acquittal for the
others. Chief Defense Counsel
Vito Marcantonio told the court
the center, in circulating the
Stockholm Peace Appeal, had
done so in its own behalf and not
as the representative of any other
group. What the center circulated
was not propaganda of any for
eign agent but its own. declared
Mr.. Marcantonio.
Mr.. Marcantonio also argued
that there was no evidence of con-
troll or a consent. which ne held
necessary to show that the center
was agent for the committee.
Tells of Trip to Europe.
Chief Prosecutor F. Kirk Mad
dirk, special assistant to the At
torney General. in arguing against
the motion told of a trip Mrs.
MODS had made to Europe and
pointed to various pieces Of litera-
ture introduced as evidence in an
effort to prove the Government
case.
Judge Mcguire granted the
motion acquitting the defendants,
but he said:
Il don't know whether these in
dividuals are sincere or misguided
or whether they deliberately
sought to subvert the liberties
under which they live"
Yesterday marked the sixth day

Interesting Traffic Experiment

The reversible traffic lane plan presented to
the Commissioners by Traffic Director Keneipp
is modification of the reversible one-way street
program already in successful use here and in
other cities. The so-called unbalanced traffic
lane proposal is in use on the Lee highway in
Arlington where it has greatly facilitated the
movement of traffic during morning and evening
rush hours. In Arlington, however, the system
is controlled by special red and green lights,
marking the direction of traffic on each of the
three lanes Lane signals would not be used in
the District experiment. As an alternative, extra
police patrols would be helpful in keeping motor
lists in the right lanes during preliminary test
period
The Keneipp plan would be tried out first on
an 11-block section of Park Place NV, between
Irving street and Rock Greek Church road, and
an eight-block section of Thirty-fourth street,
between Garfield and Porter streets. Large signs
would warn motorists that during the morning
rush hours two lanes will be reserved for south
bound cars and only one for northbound traffic.
In the evening the reverse would prevail One
way traffic on these two streets is not considered
practicable because of the unavaiability of con-
venient parallel streets to take the opposite flow
of traffic. The unbalanced-lane system has been
tried out with favorable results in Cleveland 1t
is worth test here.

The Senate Pay Bill Is Better

Senate and House conferees on pav legisla-
t1on for Federal employees must choose between
two completely different bills to increase salaries
of classified workers. OF the two measures The
Star believes that the Senate version is the best
The Senate approved in principle a per-
centage formula advocated by the Civil Service
Commission. The House last night voted for
fiat $400 increase to be applied to all grades
The percentage plan favored by the Civil Service
Commission would have preserved intact the
relation between grades carefully established by
Congress when it reclassifed Government posi-
tions and pay in the Redistribution Act 1t
would have meant, of course, that employees in
the lower grades would have received smaller
raises than those in the higher categories. To
meet the demand for cost-of-living increases
for all grades the House preferred the same
raise for all employees. But, at the same time,
the House raises would be permanent, thus Civ
Ing lower salaried employees far greater increases,
percentagewise, than those in the higher
brackets This one bill may not seriously upset
the balance of the Federal pay structure, it is
true, but it sets precedent which, if followed
In succeeding years, could result in a cycle of
similar maladjustments and end in pay sched-
ules as lop-sded as those which were realigned
under the Redistribution Act.
The Senate bill has another feature that
makes it preferable to the House bill The Senate
extended the raises to District teachers, police
men and 1remen thus making unnecessary
separate legislation for them. The House ex-
cluded these public servants from its bill, plan
ming to handle them in special legislation pre-
pared by the House District Committee That
means additional trouble for both House and

on its prerogatives. The extra work could be
eliminated If the House would agree to accept
the Senate pay bill-including its wise percent

COMPOSITE Picture-Modernistic

The composite picture of national affairs
now being Sketched for the enlightenment of the
American people by the various artists they have
chosen to work on this composition is somewhat
confusing To be understood it must be studied
in detail, rather than as whole. Some of the
details may be described as follows:
Senator George, chairman of the Finance
Committee which has Just placed a new tax bill
before the Senate tells the Senate that he is
convinced we have reached the point of diminish
ing returns in so far as taxing the incomes of
individuals and corporations is concerned. The
point of diminishing returns is the point at which
the returns from taxes diminish rather than
increase.
President Truman tells the Senate, the same
Senate, that he is convinced the higher income
taxes on individuals and corporations are not
nearly enough, for individuals and corporations
are earning more money than ever before.
Senator George explains to the Senate that
the precise point at which taxes begin to injure
the national economy cannot be measured. But
1t is the point, he says, at which taxpayers lose
the initiative to earn more when otherwise
honest taxpayers try their best to evade paying
taxes and when business enterprises resort to
wasteful practices. That point he implied is here
President Truman tells the Senate, still the
same Senate, that it is necessary to preserve
confidence in the integrity of the Governments
finances. Therefore, Senate tax bill estimated
by him to yield about $50 billions should, in
order to preserve this confidence. be increased
to something in the neighborhood of $40 billion
which happens to be the estimated deficit In
the current fiscal year.
Senator George says that with this new tax
bill the Government will be taking revenue from
the people that exceeds by $21 billion the total
revenue collected in any of the years that we
were fighting World War II. The President
describes the new tax bill under consideration
in Congress as "basis for legislation appropriate
to our present requirements" and urges Congress
to "klild on this foundation"
Senator George says that if the Vernment
