ton was made by James M. Ian.
dis, former chairman of the Secur-
tiles and Exchange Commission.
He served as volunteer investi-
gator for the subcommittee.

claring that the transit company'S
reports do not reflect the war
years true earnings. charged:
THE difference sare enormous
in the millions of dollars"
Mr.. Kennedy said he was gen.
orally in accord with the Lands
program of reforms. Some of it.
he said, may call for legislation.
If so. Mr. Kennedy said, he would
press for action.
Recommendations by the Lands
report included creation of a
Metropolitan Washington transit
commission and a restatement by
the PUG of the firms earnings
from 1912 to date.
The Lands repor,. criticized tho
PUG for allowing certain book
keeping procedures which the re-
port said caused the distortion Of
the true income of the company.
Some Practices Described.
These practices included the
charging against operating reve-
nue. ''goodly portion" of taxes at.
tributable to incorporating reve-
nue., the report said. Another
practice was the over-accrual of
reserves for taxes during the war
years which later were transferred
to the earned surplus of the COM
pany. the report added.
The war period when the report
charges the transit company's in
come was not properly reported
is before the present controlling
interests, headed by Louis E. Wolf.
son, of Jacksonville. Fla, bought.
Referring to fare raises and the
series of dividends declared to
stockholders under the new owner
ship, Mr.. Lands said the transit
company "is cutting up a melon
with it's stockholders that was ac-
quired in the war years"

Eisenhower Promising
No Drastic SIashes
In Taxes Next Year
General Says He'll ToIk
On Delegate Fight When
He Arrives in Texas
By Crosby S. Moves
Stor Stuff Correspondent

DENVER, Colo, June 19.-Gen
Eisenhower says he would not
expect "any drastic cut in taxes
next year if he is elected Presi-
dent.
The general made the state
ment during a meeting with mem
bers of the Oregon delegation
here yesterday. A few hours
earlier, Senator Taft, his chief
rival for the Republican nomina-
ton, had predicted a Is per cent
tax reduction within two years, if
he is elected.
The Eisenhower conference
the third at which reporters have
been present so far-also pro-
duced the following points:
l. AS a partial solution to the
Korean war. Gen. Eisenhower
would build up the strength of the
South Korean forces sufficiently
to permit the withdrawal OF
United Nations troops to rear
areas as a mobile reserve.
2. He can suggest no solution
to the problem of Japan's eco
nomic survival, unless she is per-
mitted to trade with Communist
China.
3. He thinks the Nationals
Chinese have their hands full or
Formosa, implying that he woule
not favor their direct participa.
ton in the Eastern war.
Will Speak on Delegate Dispute
4. He will speak out on thu
Texas delegate controversy wher
he reaches Texas Saturday. HI
has reason to believe that "the
will of the American people" was
thwarted in the naming of dele
gates by q Taft-controlled State
convention.
5. He would bring together q
special advisory committee. COM
prising all economic groups tc
formulate goals in combating in
f1ationary forces.
6. He believes that the country
has more to fear from universal
military training than from a
small professional army when ii
comes to the threat of creating
a mAitaristic state.
z. He thinks the time has come
for the Vice President to take
over a greater share of the ex-
ecutive authority. and would ia.
vor a Constitutional amendment
to that end.
8. He favors cas- a matter of
sentiment" the admission of Alas
ka and Hawaii to statehood.
9. He believes that the shooting
down Of a Swedish airplane was
not a deliberate incident provoked
b. the Russians and is mot quite
the cause for a global war"
Cake Protests Selections.
Among the highlights of the
meeting was a report from Ralph
Cake, national committeeman for
Oregon, who participated in the
action of the arrangements COM
mittee for the national conven-
ton at which Gen. Macarthur
and Walter Hallanan, Taft men,
were elected respectively as key

New Price Rises
Push Living Cost
Close 10 Record
Index Advance Lifts
Pay for RoiIrooders
And in Other Lines

The Government announced
today that the cost of living in
creased tWo-tenths of / percent
in the month ended May Is
bringing the official price barom-
eter close to the all-time high re-
corded in January.
The living-cost index, measur-
ing prices of food, clothing, shell
ter and other items, climbed to
189 per cent of the 1858 aver
age. That is Al per cent over the
mark of Is months ago, when
price and wage controls took eff
feet, and only a tenth of a per-
centage point under the January
peak of 1891 per cent.
Although the rise was small, it
will bring a wage increase of 2
cents an hour to 100000 rail-
road workers. The rail employees
pay is tied to living costs. They
received a l cent per hour pay cut
three months ago when living
costs dropped momentarily. An
other 100000 wage earners in tex
tile, aircraft and oil refining in
duStries get at least a one-cent
boost.
Costs Rise Here.
For Washington, the Bureau of
Labor Statistics said, living costs
increased flve-tenths of / per cent
between February Is and May Is.
Food prices here declined four
tenths of percentage point from
mid-April to May Is, but were
still IL per cent above the Feb
ruary level. Food prices were IL
per cent higher than a year ago
and 1913 per cent higher than on
June Is, 1850.
The index for all living costs in
Washington last month was 184.9
per cent of the 1859 average.
This was 2.7 per cent higher than
a year ago and 109 per cent above
the pre-Korea level.
Sono Items necIine
The price of food, which car
ries most weight in the living cost
index, rose three-tenthS of l per
cent. Rents and miscellaneous
goods and services also were up
fractionally.
Decreases were recorded for
clothing, fuel, electricity and re-
frigeration. and housefurnishings.
Although prices on most items
have climbed. Office of Price
Stabilization officials announced
yesterday ceilings would be sus-
pended this week end on bottled
whisky and wine. They have been
selling for months below ceiling
levels.
The price drop in these items
was attributed to big stocks and
tagging sales. The decline in sales
has been sharp since last Novem-
ber. when a steep new Federal tax
went into effect.
The suspension of ceilings will
be effective from the distillery or
winery all the way to the retail
level. It will not apply, however,
to liquor sold by the drink in
bars, hotels or restaurants. That
will continue under ceilings.

Budget Bureau Backs
Pension Increase for
Retired u. ). Workers
But Would Pay for Roise
By Appropriation Instead
Of With Retirement Fund

The Budget Bureau today gave
its support to the Senate-approved
bill increasing the annuities of
retired Federal workers by $36 to
1924 a year.
In statement prepared for de-
livery before the House Civil Serv-
ice Committee, Assistant Budget
Director Elmer B. Stats declared
that the administration found the
Senate measure to be generally
acceptable"
Mr.. Stats suggested that Con-
gress appropriate money for the
increase-the Senate plan would
pay for it from the Civil Service
retirement fund. But he made it
clear that the administration had
no objections to the Senate-ap-
proved bill in it's present form.
Two-Year Increase.
The measure. passed by the
Senate several weeks ago, provides
for temporary two-year pension
increase for retired Government
workers. Under the bills provi-
sions, the increase would lapse at
that time unless Congress votes
the necessary funds to pay for the
cost. Until that time, the in
creases would come out of the re-
tirement fund.
The Budget Bureaus position
was in marked contrast to that
taken by the Civil Service Com
mission.
Commission Chairman Robert
Ramspeck. the days opening wit
ness. urged the committee to de-
fer action on any pension in
creases pending a complete study
of the Civil Service retirement
fund and methods used to finance
it.
Opposes Raise Now.
Although Mr.. Ramspeck said
the commission would have no
objection if Congress wanted to
give retired Federal workers a
"gift," in the way of voting funds
to pay for the increase, his entire
testimony was based in opposition
to annuity increases at this time.
Mr. Ramspeck said the Civil
Service retirement fund was oper-
aSing at a deficit and could not
stand further liberalization.
The commission chairman was
subjected to a barrage of ques-
tions from committee members,
all of whom with the exception
of Chairman Murray indicated by
their queries that they are in
favor of a pension increase.

KEN and Brannan
Clash Face-to-Face
Over Fraud Charge
Agriculture Secretary
Shouts for Retruction
From Missouri Senator
By Jones (. Roper

Senator KEN, Republican, of
Missouri, in an angry face-to-
face debate with Agriculture Sec
retary Brannan. said today the
Agriculture Department contains
fraud, corruption and misman-
agement."
Mr.. Brannan yelled back:
THAT is the most dishonest
statement I have heard in long
time. You should retract it,"
Senator KEN replied, There is
much fraud in your department
and you are guilty of gross mis-
lmanagement-your removal is
still in order and hope it is
accomplished"
The exchange came AS the two
men verbally brawled in an un-
usual man-to-man debate tefore
the Senate Agriculture Com
Imittee.
Climax Of Long Feud.
This was a climax of a month
long feud between Mr.. Brannan
and Senator KEN. The Senator
had called for the secretary's res
lgnation. Mr.. Brannon replied
that Senator KEN had voted
against nearly everything that
farmers need" He listed 81
instances as support for his ac-
cusation.
Today'S committee session was
arranged to let Senator KEN oues-
tlon Mr.. Brannan on the matter
of his voting.
Senators Anderson. Democrat,
OF New Mexico, and Aiken, Repub-
llcan, OF Vermont, helped Senator
KEN show that on the first speci-
ned vote, Senator KEN actually
had voted according to the rec
ommendation of the Agriculture
Department. The vote came in
l948. 10 days after Mr.. Brannan
became head of the Agriculture
Department.
Mr.. Brannan explained he
hadn't had time to change the
departments position on the issue
which involved support prices for
tobacco.
Defends Free Speech.
Senator KEN suggested Mr.
Brannan was following the path
of a police state" when the
executive branch attacked mem
bers of the legislative branch. Mr..
Brannan shot back that he had a
right to free speech under the
Constitution.
Senator Ken said he did not
call for Mr.. Brannan's resignation
because of his attitude on parity
prices, but because the commit
tees investigation showed fraud
corruption and mismanagement
in the Agriculture Department. j
Mr.. Brannan slammed his hand
down on the table and yelled for
IA retraction.
There's no evidence that I'm
involved in fraud" Mr.. Brannan
said. Il didn't say that" Senator
KEN replied. But there's much
fraud in your department"
Senator KEN said the Secre-
tary's gross mismanagement"
justified his removal.
Accused of Sidestepping.
Senator Aiken accused Mr..
Brannan of sidestepping some of
the questions. The Secretary, who
had been pale most of the ses-
sion, blushed.
Senator Thye. Republican, of
Minnesota, then Joined the at
tack. For you to come up here
and say that all these votes are
against the farmer is not becom-
ing for cabinet officer" Senator
Thye told the Secretary.
Mr.. Brannan protested. But
here's a man who sets himself up
as an expert on cabinet officers
But we find" Senator Thye
said. that the Senator from Mis-
souri, was voting often with the
majority. These men would not
hurt the farmer any more than
they'd lose their right hands. You
are in very embarrassing po-
sition here" d
