Prince Georges County Delegate
William r. Hughes today called
for continuing county grand jury
investigation "of 20-year-old con-
ditions SO sinister, deep and over
powering that they should be cor

Mr.. Hughes, Republican, led
his party's county ticket in a
sweeping G. o. P. victory last No
vember after a militant campaign
against liquor and gambling law
violations and general deteriora-
ton of government morale"
He said he was referring specifi-
cany to the current question of
whether Prince Georges County
detective knew of tip-off to num-
bers backer Charles Nelson.
Il believe the grand jury should
be promptly recalled to probe this
incident and that it should remain
in session until the county has

that his regime was ignored when

statement said the Peiping gov
ernment ''is ready to exchange

C0mpulsiOn Charged.
Chou lashed at the United
States, which took the lead N
preparing the treaty to end hos
tilities with Japan six years after
the formal surrender. He declared
the treaty conference was being
convened under the compulsion
of the United States Govern
ment
Chou said the conference "auda-
ciously excludes the Chinese
Communists in violation of "in-

therefore basically cannot be

Japan. adding:

Chou objected to the proposal
to give the United States control
of such former Japanese islands
as the Ryukyus, which include the
big air base of Okinawa.
He said the treaty only calls or
Japan to renounce it's rights te
such territory as Formosa, now
held by the Nationalists, and
Southern Sakhalin and the Ku-
riles. held by Russia, and says
nothing about turning them over
to China and Russia.
Chou said the reason for the
latter omission was ito attempt
to create tense relations with

to recommend location of a mill
tary demarcation line and a buffer
zone separating opposing armies
for the duration of the arrnistice.
In formal sessions neither side
moved from its original position
although Admiral Joy said the U
N. would consider notifications of
the line it recommended.
The U. N. proposal calls for a
buffer zone along present battle
lines. The Communists have in
sisted on making the 38th Parallel
the demarcation line. Most of the
battle front now runs north of
this old political boundary.

ing sessions.
He wound up the speech by

before the county commissioners
tomorrow.
The police chief made the state
ments after he talked late yester-
day with Maryland State Detective
Sergt. Murray E. jackson, who
has been detached for duty with
the Senate committee.
A few hours earlier, the chief
had been instructed by the county
commissioners to use every legal
means at his command to Obtain
the recording and other evidence
pertinent to the case.
The commissioners issued the
order after they were told during
zoning hearings at Hyattsvllle
that Mr.. Lewis had failed to keep
an appointment.

At the close of their meeting,
the board heard Detective Bond
relate how he had pleaded with
Mr.. Lewis in Washington Tues
day night to come to Hyattsville

name"
He said Mr.. Lewis had agreed
to do so but had failed to keep his
promise. The detective went be-
fore the commissioners with nis
attorney, George T. Burroughs
and Chief Richards.
The chief made his second bid
for the tape after a conference
later in the day with States At

ator Jackson denied his first re-
quest Tuesday soon after Mr.
Lewis told the commissioners al

Bond knew of the alleged tipoff.
Mr.. Lewis. a District Building
electrical inspector, cannot be
brought back to the county to
testify and attorneys say the re-
cording is not subject to sub

Mr.. Lewis said Tuesday that
plans for a raid last week on a
suspected understanding car
occupied by Mr.. Nelson's wife
Mrs. Madge Nelson, and two other
women, were foiled and that De-
tective Bond told him he knew
what had occurred. County

NFFE Asks Congress
For Prompt Action
On U. 5. Pay Raises

The National Federation OF
Federal Employees today urged
Congress to take prompt action
on Federal pay raise legislation.
In a letter sent to all members
of Congress-, NFFE President
Luther Steward said "The eco
nomic conditions of Federal en-
ployeS grow steadily worse"
Noting that Congress is about
to reduce annual leave, Mr..
Steward said this amounts to a
pay cut.
Mr.. Steward said Government
workers are being Disseminated
against in the matter of S;.lary
adjustments "in favor of groups
who have resorted to every form
of economic pressure to better
their financial conditions"
Regarding Federal workers, Mr..
Steward declared: These are not
dumb animals; these ale not alien
residents of some distant part of
the earth. They are your friends,
your neighborS, your constituents,
United States citizens and tax
payers.
They have a right to expect
OF their elected representatives
equal treatment with other SIM
ilarly situated groups. This they
are not getting"
The NFFE chief warned that
failure to act promptly on the part
of Congress would severely injure
the Federal service. He declared
it would accelerate the loss to
better paying positions of highly
trained and capable public serv-
ants, to be replaced by the un-
trained, with consequent wanton
waste Of public funds-more en-
ployeS, less work"
Meanwhile, confidence that
members of Congress will not stall
on a Federal employe pay raise
and give early attention to enact
ment of cost-of Living salary ad-
justments was expressed today by
James A. Campbell, national
president of the AFL American
Federation Of Government EN-
ployes.
Mr.. Campbell added. however
that his union fears that cuts in
leave will have disastrous effect
on employe turnover and entail
tremendous cost to the Govern
ment."
The Senate Civil Service Com
mittee has approved an 8.4 per
cent Federal pay measure and the
House Civil Service Committee has
voted a fiat $400 increase. The
press Of other legislation, how
ever, has caused House and Senate
leaders to defer action on the
pay bills until at least after Labor

S638 Million Voted
For Flood Control as
Senate Rejects Cuts
BY the Associated Press

The Senate passed a $638,578,-
213 money bill for flood control
and navigation works yesterday
after beating all efforts to reduce
amounts recommended by it's APP
preparations Committee.
The only money changes made
on the Senate floor were two in

The items added were 81 mil
lion to. continue engineering

100000 to construct water con-
servation facilities at Lavon Re-
servoir in Texas.

In all, the Senate increased the
House-approved total BY $124,-

mans budget estimate of $685.

ber of projects requested in a sup
elemental estimate last week as
the result of recent devastating
floods in Kansas, Missouri and
IOklahoma.
Major differences to be ironed
Iout by a Senate-House confer

number of new starts of food

He said three tax agents worked
with him and it was their reports
which were later stolen by the

He said a copy of one of these
reports showed up January /, 1948,
when "Biggie" Rutkin, whom he
described as a front for Zwillman,
filed $22 million suit against
Joseph Rheinfeld.
He said he believed dishonest
employe" must have been in
volved in the theft, but he did
not say where he believed the en-
ploye was located. Mr.. Baldwin
also said he was told variously
that the files. including the agents
reports, were sent to the Newark
revenue office in 1910 or that they
might have been destroyed in
Washington as old records, but he
could not subscribe to that view.
IeiiS OF Movie Interest.
Jules Endler of Arlington, N. j.,
was the witness who told about
Zwillman'S movie interests.
He testified that Zwillman had
a 6 per cent interest in Manhat-
tan Productions which produced
the Fred Allen movie. but the in
terest was held in trust by Arthur
Garfield Hays, the prominent New
York attorney, who represented
Zwillman.
Mr.. Endler said he himself was
Zwillman's trustee in Greentree
Productions, when it produced
Guest Wife" but none of the
other investors were aware that
Zwillman was among them.
He said Zwillman told him that
the companies might not be able
to get financing if Zwillman's
name appeared because Zwillman
had a reputation as a bootlegger
and had not been able to live it
down.

The problems of guarding the
Nations borders and ports against
smugglers were outlined to the

Sistant surveyor of customs for
the Port of New. York, and Chester
A. Limerick. deputy commissioner
of the Bureau of Customs.
Mr.. Flynn told the committee
that he has enough staff to search
only one out of five ships entering
the port daily and enough men
to guard only one out of every five
piers in New York.
And Mr.. limerick said New York
was the best stated port in the
country. He said New York has
383 port patrol officers and the
country as a whole, including New
York, has only 760.
