High Court Refuses
Tax Claim Review

The Supreme Court refused to-
day to review a claim by District
tax officials that the Cathoiie
Education Press. Inc. should be
required to pay taxes here.
The Catholic Education Press
had contended it was entitled to
tax exemption as a scientific in
stitution" because it published and
sold books mostly for Catholic
University teachers.
This contention was upheld by
the former District Board of Tax
Appeals. A three-member panel
lof the U. S. Court of Appeals
for the District of Columbia re-
versed the boards ruling, but
was itself reversed last July by
the entire appeals court bench.
The litigation became still more
involved a few days later when
one of the appeals court judges
disqualified himself on grounds
that he had been a former en-
ploye at the Catholic University
Law School. District officials then
asked the Supreme Court to re-
verse the appeals court decision
in favor Of the Catholic Education
Press, Inc.
The District declared the lower
court ruling should be vacated not
only because Of the disqualified
ton OF one Of the judges but also
because the company was not
scientific" within the meaning
of the District tax laws. Refusal
of the Supreme Court to review
the case means the tax exemp-
ton will stand.

q proper compromise on labor
legislation"
Senator Nixon said Mr.. Durkin
has made IAN excellent start" to-
ward pouring oil on troubled
waters within Republican ranks
by announcing his intention to
meet with Senator Taft and dis
cuss amendments to the Taft
Hartley Labor relations law.

And, Senator Nixon said, SEN
ator Taft's attitude on amending
the labor law which bears his
name is very reasonable" He
added:
Il am convinced that in the

reconcilable break between the
Senator and the Eisenhower ad-
miniStration."
Asked for comment on Gen.
Eisenhower's visit to Korea, Sen
ator Nixon said it offers the
first hope in many. many months
OF finding a better approach to
the Korean problem.
II have confidence that after
he returns to Washington, he
will have some recommendations
to make-no panacea-but we will
start in a new direction on some
of the Korea problems"
Senator Nixon said he planned
to remain in Washington except

BY the Assoeiuied Press

CAsABLANCA. Morocco. Dec. 8.
Bloody anti-French rioting
erupted today in this French
North African protectorate today.
Three Europeans and at least 20
Moroccans were killed.
Police informants said an angry
mob caught three Europeans in a
stone quarry during the morning,
slashed the throats of two Of them
and cut off their hands. The mob
crusted the head of the third with
rocks. Three other Europeans
were wounded.
Crowd Swells to 5000.
The crowd. numbering about 800
and fired up by nationalist agi-
tators, moved on to the police sta
ton. AS it moved it swelled to
about 5000. Shooting ensued and
about 20 Moroccans were slain.
BY noon, police had gained a
Shaky grip on the situation and
tanks and armed troops patrolled
the troubled sections. An 8 pm. to
6 am. curfew was imposed and as
semblies of more than 10 persons

A police official driving to work

morning. His automobile was
burned but he escaped. A French
schoolmaster leading Moroccan
children to school opened fire on
a crowd which started throwing
stones at him and drove them of.
General Strike Called.
The outbreaks here on the
northwest African coast followed
a nationwide strike call by the
Moroccan General Labor Confed-
Grafton, which acted in sympathy
with the Tunisian workers move
ment. A three-day walkout had
been ordered for Tunisia in pro-
test against the assassination OUT
side Tunis last Friday of Farhat
Hached, Tunisian nationalist lead
er and general secretary of the
Tunisian workers movement.
The demonstrators here in

were killed.
Marchers Driven Back.

French Resident Gen. Jean de
Hautecloque to protest the slay-
ing Of Mr.. Hached but were
driven back. In an exchange of
fire between the Arabs and police
guards, a police officer and two
Of the marchers were wounded.

day were the first Europeans to
die In the current upsurge Of ma

Putnam Seeking Way
To Save Pay Controls;
3Courses Held Open
Meuny Of AFL Indicates
Possible Protest Strikes
If Roises Are Delayed

Economic Stabilizer Roger Put
nam today was trying to work
his way out Of a situation in
which he had no Wage Stabiliza-
ton Board. He was facing diff
|culties IN setting up a new one
and there were prospects of strikes
without one.
Mr.. Putnam was determined to
turn over to the incoming Eisen-
hover administration a system Of
Ifunctioning controls even If he
had to administer them himself,
ALI industry members of the
board quit last week in protest
against President Truman's
handling of the coal wage case
They called the Presidents ac-
tion political expediency." They
were joined by industry members
on two of the IA regional boards
those in Boston and Chicago.
Meany Hints Of Protest Strikes.
George Meany, AFL president.
said in q CHS television interview
yesterday that if wage agreements
cannot be cleared because OF the
collapse Of the wage board, pro-
test strikes by unions may follow.
There are about 10000 wage
cases pending before the board.
Mr.. Meany said he believed Mr..
Truman could provide a solution
by giving blanket approval to all
of them.
The AFL, Mr.. Meany said, IA
vors price and wage controls. He
said the situation is tending to-
ward an end to both. He added
that if price controls are lifted,
wage controls must be lifted also.
Government lawyers, mean
while, spent a busy Sunday study
ing way out of the tangled stu
alton. They said Mr.. Putnam may
adopt one Of at least three courses:
/. He could try to replace the
industry members who resigned so
the board could continue to oper-
ate. According to the Defense
Production Act the board can
operate only with equal numbers
from industry. labor and the pub
lie.
2. He may appoint Charles c.
Killingsworth, new chairman OF
the board, as wage administrator,
with Mr.. Putnam hiIAself issuing
all decisions on wage petitions.
8. He may run the program
himself, with the boards staff
helping him.
Fowler Expresses Hope.
Defense Mobilizer Henry H.
Fowler was hopeful the board may
be rebuilt. He also appeared on
a television interview, over NBC,
and said he believed industry
would decide to cooperate after
"a or 48 hours reflection. Indus
try, which must pay the wages,
would be utterly inconsistent" If
it would not participate in a
wage stabilization program. he
said.
Mr. Putnam was described as
believing there is legal authority
for him to keep the program go
ing even without a board.
The absence Of the board now
has resulted in snarling up the pay
raise approved for the hard coal
miners. Mr.. Putnam has directed
the board to approve their pay
raise. similar to the $1.90 raise Of
the soft coal miners, but this was
not carried out. It may be left
to Mr.. Putnam to approve the
agreement on his own.
The CIO also entered the pic
ture. Walter Reuther, new CIO
president, is expected in WASH
ington this week to see President
Truman and Mr.. Putnam. seeking
an end to wage controls. The CIO
voted last week to urge an end to
the curbS on wages,
