proposals of sales taxes and the
shifting of corporation taxes to
ultimate consumers were a cold
deck proposition to pay the costs
of this national emergency by
soaking the poor and sparing the
rich" He said credit controls
which fall chiefly on low-income
groups do little to limit imitation
while "unrestrained bank credits"
continue.
AS for price controls, Mr..
Reuther said the OPS beef price
regulation has been made a test
ing ground for all price control.
He contended that IF the meat
industry succeeds in destroying
the beef regulation the public will
lose all confidence in the ability
and willingness of the Govern
ment to protect the interests of
consumers.
Wants Credit Flexibility.
Mr. Reuther said he favors
credit controls but believes that
regulation w is being administered
in a rigid manner by the Federal
Reserve Board Under Regulation
w down payments on installment
purchases were increased and the
pay-out period was shortened.
Mr.. Reuther said the regulation
should be flexible so as to take
care of the present situation in
which the automobile industry has
unSold cars. He suggested that the
regulation should be administered
by the Economic Sterilization
Agency.
He also said that he feels, al
though he could not categorically
say it is true, that steel and other
scarce materials are being allotted
to defense production before they
can be used in such production
and that output of civilian goods
is suffering for that reason. He
said that this question will come
up tomorrow in the Presidents
Advisory Committee on Mobiliza-
tion Policy. Senator Capehart,
Republican. of Indiana suggested
that the Joint committee on de-
fense production should have an
observer at that meeting.
DR.. George w. Taylor. chairman
of the Wage Sterilization Board,
advocated no change in the pro-
visions of the present act regard
ing the Wage Sterilization Board
He suggested that any changes
should wait on experience in the
working of the present act. He
did say, however, that the section
relating to the settlement Of in
dustrial disputes might have to be
changed.
Asked About Escalator Clause.
Senator Capehart asked whetn-
er formula for escalator clause
increases should be written into
the law. DR.. Wagner replied that
he believed escalator clause ques-
tions should be handled on an
administrative basis and that
more f1exibility was needed than
would be possible if Congress set
out a formula.
Stanley H. Ruttenberg, CIO di-
rector of education and research
was another scheduled witness at
today's hearing. His prepared
statement declared that the De-
fense Production Act, as it now
stands, has failed as weapon
against imitation. '
Its loopholes must be plugged"
he stated. Its inadequacies must
be replaced with authority for
firm action. The American peo-
pie deserve assurance from their
representatives that the menace
of the imitation fifth column will
be combatted vigorously"

tween place and object. Conditioned refexes
But to the average mortal. the prospect of
becoming permanently engaged in the full
time job of preventing losses seems pretty
sterile.
For most of us, therefore, the vital ques-
ton is: how can you find lost belongings
No one has more opinions on the subject
than claims adjusters for insurance COM
panies. They're the fellows who call on losers
of things, hear tales about ''stolen" prop
erty and mysteriously disappeared" jewels.
They say there are universal patterns of los
ing things and. as consequence, number
of routine places to look. And they lay down
some general rules of attack

GONE years ago woman was washing her
~ hands on train run from Chicago to
New York when diamond ring slipped from
her finger and disappeared down the drain.
She realized it would land outside where
chances of finding it would be slim. She
looked at her wrist watch, noting the hour:
5:33 pm. Then she summoned the por-
ter. "Get the train conductor as quick
Iy as possible" she said.
Fifteen minutes later she had reported
that at exactly 5:33 her ring had vanished.
At the next station the conductor stopped
the train described the loss to the station
master. Reckoning to within short span
where the train would have been at 5:33,
track crew quickly found the ring alongside
the rails, almost exactly where it should
have been. If this lady had shown less pres
ence of mind, the track crew might still be
scanning railway ties.
Wizards Have Systems
WITHOUT bothering to dig up bolstering
statistics, we think it's cinch to assume
that everyone loses things. Even by the
harried age of three years, ones Teddy bears
and other treasures have begun to dis
appear. As the years multiply, so do the
bitter shocks of loss. Wedding rings, heir

GoIdsborough Clears
Electric Union Agent
OF Contempt Charge

District Court Judge T. Alan
Goldsborough today acquitted
Frank Panzino of contempt of
Congress charges arising from his
refusal to answer questions in
August, l949. before a subcommit-
tee of the House Committee on
Un- Activities.
Acquittal was on the ground
that Panzino was legally right in
refusing to answer the questions
for fear of standardization.
Panzino, an assistant chief
steward of Pittsburgh area local
of the United Electrical, Radio and
Machine Workers of America, was
tried yesterday without a jury.
Judge Goldsborough took the case
under advisement.

Treasmy-Post Office
Money Bill Carries
No Big Job Changes

The 1852 Treasury-Post Office
money bill reported today by the
House Appropriations Committee
provides for little change in the,
number of employees. in the two
departments.
The amounts recommended for
the two departments will enable
them to add several hundred en-
ployes. No personnel reductions
would be necessary under the bill.
The committee said it mad scru-
tinized the budget requests very
carefully" with view to trimming
all non-essential expenditures.
The group added, however, that
both Treasury and Post Office are
performing necessary services di-
rectly related to national defense,
or have had their work load in
creased as direct or indirect re-
suit of national defense activities
The bill did not contain any re-
strictive personnel riders, such as
the current fiscal year ban on per-
manent promotions and transfers
and the prohibition against. fur
ther accumulation of annual
leave.
Committee members said, how
ever, that this has no significance
zone way or the other" They said
that if the committee did decide
to impose restrictive personnel
riders it would be done later as
part of a supplemental bill. and
not in any individual appropria-
tionS measure. Last years riders
were inserted in the omnibus ap-
preparations bill which contained
the 1851 funds for all departments
and agencies. but Congress this
year has gone back to the old sys-
tenn of individual appropriation
measures.

y.N. Delegates Told
Of Systematic Torture
In Red Labor Camps
BY the Assoeioted Press

SANTIAGO, Chile, Mar. 49,
United Nations delegates today
studied a chilling picture of sys-
tematic torture and starvation in
Soviet slave labor camps as paint
ed by reputedly authentic Rus
sian documents.
The documents, produced on
the heels of a British American
challenge to Russia to approve an
investigation of slave labor in
the U. S. S. R. or by silence con-
fess her guilt, were submitted to
the U. N. Economic and Social
Council by representatives of the
worlds free labor unions.
The documents indicated that
these slave camps acting on secret
police orders, kept laborers on
near starvation diets, while the
same orders directed much bet
ter feeding for dogs used to
track them down.
American Delegate Walter M.
Kotschnig, who introduced the
British-American resolution for
an investigation of slave labor
conditions, said the estimated
number of forced workers in Rus
sla now ranges all the way from
2 million to 20 million.
The International Federation of
Free Trade Unions presented the
Soviet documents as proof of the
Vests charges that Russia S
leaders have enslaved and tor
tured millions of fellow humans.
One Of the documents gave de-
tailed orders for a Soviet forced
labor camps supplies. The orders,
issued in 1887, prescribed to the
ounce the amount of food for
each type of prisoner and detailed
what punishment should be meted
out for waste or theft.
Inc regulation prescribed 1892
calories as the base norm for the
average worker who does not meet
production quotas. American
standards for a 154-pound, non
physical worker call for a $500
calorie minimum.
The same set of orders specified
that "one grown-up young dog
over 6 months of age" should get
a daily ration of 1,184 calories.
The Instructions provided for
small increases in rations for
workers exceeding production
quotas.

KremIin Word Waited
On Reich Arms as Part
OF Big -Four S Agenda
By the Associated Press

PARIS, Mar. 16.-Word from
the Kremlin was awaited today
on whether the Big Four can dis
cuss arms for Germany as part
of the whole European problem,
OF whether Moscow will insist the
question be. taken up separately.
1t is believed the Russians will
continue to insist on separate
treatment. This decision was
foreshadowed by Soviet Deputy
Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko
at yesterdays session of the Big
Four deputies trying to draw up
an agenda for a foreign ministers
parley.
France. Britain and the United
States contend the tense European
situation has led them to think
about German defense and they
cannot properly discuss the result
without the cause.
Vests Main Contention.
Britain's Ernest Davies empha-
sized that again yesterday. The
Western delegates have made it
their main contention.
Mr.. Gromyko, however, has been
harping on the Importance of the
1945 agreement at Potsdam to
disarm Germany.
To meet his objections, Amer
lean Ambassador -at-Large Philip
JesSup offered a new statement of
the first point the Western powers
want the ministers to discuss. The
statement said:
AN examination of the causes
of the present international ten
sion in Europe and of the means
to secure a real and lasting i'm
provement in relations between
the U. S. S. r. and the United
Kingdom, the United States and
France such as: The existing level
of ornaments and its effect on
the question of demilitarization
of Germany and the means for
control and reduction of arma-
ments; measures to eliminate fear
OF aggression and fulfillment of
present treaty obligations.
Called Unsatisfactory.
1t was the first time, after 10
days of proposals and counter
proposals that the Western pow
ers had agreed to the words de
militariZation of Germany" Mr..
Gromyko has set great store by
this phrase.
Nevertheless, he was quoted as
saying "the Soviet government
thinks the new draft of the West
ern powers is no solution and it
Is unsatisfactory"
On the other hand, a French
Foreign Ministry official pointed
out that Mr.. Gromyko had de-
scribed his remarks as "prelirni-
nary"
In diplomatic double talk that
means he has to consult his SUI
periors. French officials have
been consistently optimistic about
chances for agreement

edge, rejected valid bids and re-
cast each contracts conditions
until favored monopolists got
them. Once the ring had a ma
jority of contracts in hand the
racketeers were able to amplify
their surplus costs backwards at
three-month intervals as allowed
by regulation and multiply their
profits. Lack of time clauses
made many such contracts an end
less joyride at increasing gains
The Greeks thus raided Amer
lean counterpart funds and Amer
lean officials failed to halt them
The rebels charge that highway
payrollS were never witnessed -
Engineers say that even when
non-members of the ring were
allowed to capture bids their sue
cess proved suicidal. Crooked gov
ernment officials starved these
outsiders by denying them needful
upward adjustments caused by
rising prices till they were wiped
out as competitors and surren-
dered contracts to insiders in the
Ministry of Coordination.

Congressmen Protest Presidents New Plant Dispersal Policy

WASHINGTON, (P)-Members of Congress from established in dustrial areas bitterly protested against President Truman's new plant dispersal policy.
 MT. Truman's aim is to spread out the nations industrial plants to make them less vulnerable to any enemy atomic attacks. But opponents argue the dispersal will hobble rather than help de- fense preparedness by draining vitality from existing industrial regions and forcing costly popu- lation shifts.
 As announced by MT. Truman Friday, the policy is to disperse new industry and expanding in dustry but not to interfere with established operating units. No part of the country is to be built up at the expense of any other section, the President said.

HYMNS AND THEIR WRITERS

AS we hum and sing the fam iliar songs found in our hymn books today the thought of who wrote the hymns and under what circumstances they were written, perhaps never enters our minds.
 The hymn lore of the Christian Church offers a fascinating field for study. The know the hymns of the Christian Church is to know something of the spiritual striv- ing of the people of God down through the ages. Hymns are the precious stones formed into amu- lets more potent against sorrow and sadness than the most famous charm of the wizard or the magi- elan.
 One can name several famous hymn writers and for an example there is Fannie Crosby, who was born blind and who wrote no less than 5000 hymns. Her life and many others will be related to- night by the Covenant Navigators at pm. This plus chalk draw ing will make a most interesting evening.

Two Army Men Have
 Close Brush With Death On Richardson Highway

VALDEZ, (P) - Two military men had a close brush with death Friday when their car plunged into the raging Lowe River in Keystone Canyon.
 It. Col. J. B. Goldsmith of the Medical Corps had the closest call. He is a professor in the Oklahoma Medical School in civilian life. His companion in the dangerous "dunking" was Sergeant Letson from Ladd Field.
 Their weapons carrier was com pletely submerged in the icy tor rent near Horsetails Falls, IA miles north of Valdez.
 Letson got out first and risked his life by diving back twice in an unsuccessful attempt to free Goldsmith. The colonel finally got free of the vehicle after what the two men estimated was a sub merging of at least couple of minutes.
 Col. Goldsmith is working on a project to determine what pre- ventative measure are possible against the spreading of human disease by parasites and wild ami mals.
