New York Newspaper Strike
Reported Near Arbitrution
Agreement Reached to Submit
Certuin Issues to Arbiter

OuIl, JUL Ild1 AI1lcIlCdIl dIlu
Post.
All Of the struck papers oper-
ate their own engraving plants,
which produce plates for the re-
production of pictures and illus
trations in newspapers.
Contract Continued.
The Herald Tribune engraving
is done by an outside commercial
firm-Powers Engraving Co.
which also does work for num-
ber of New York trade and for
eign language papers. An official
of the firm said its contract with
the union was continued in force
by the union, pending the out
come of negotiations with the
newspapers.
Yesterday union officials an
nounced they were preparing de-
mands for commercial shop con-
tracts expiring during the next
few months.
The papers were closed down
when other unions, including
mechanical and other craft, edi-
torial and business Office
workers, observed the picket lines
set up by engravers at each
plant.
The combined circulation of
the. struck newspapers is more
than million. The strike of 400
photoengravers made about 20,-
600 newspaper employees idle.
The Herald Tribune apparently
was the only newspaper which
made any appreciable increase
IN its press runs. The Brooklyn
Eagle reported that it was op-
Grating normally, printing the
usual number of editions and
copies. The Long Island Press
and the Long Island Star Jour-
nal, in Queens, said they also
were operating normally.
The Daily Worker, Communist
Party organ, carried a first-page
statement today that the paper
will be distributed to newsstands
and mailed to subscribers as
usual. It said it is not involved
in the strike, as its engraving is
done in a commercial plant.
SIS Increase Sought.
During negotiations the union
asked for a package increase of
SIS a week, including wages,
pensions and welfare insurance.
The publishers offered a $3.75-
a-week package. Current pay
is $120 a week for day work and
$131 for night work. The photo
engravers' contract with the six
struck newspapers expired Oc-
tober 81.
The union members voted, 207
to lat, on Friday to reject an
offer by the publishers to sub
NIT the dispute to arbitration.
The Herald Tribune, in it's
Monday morning editions, elm
mated advertising except for
legal and death, notices. Its
eight-page news section today
compared with an edition of "a
pages last Monday.
Size of Paper Explained.
The Herald Tribune said in
a front page box today that it
"held this edition to eight pages
without advertising in order to
print the maximum number of
papers and thereby give the wild
est possible distribution to the
days basic news. :"
The newspapers story on the
strike said:
"A plan for the Herald Tribune
to publish some of the news and
features from the other papers
in the form of advertising was
dropped when members of the
Herald Tribune's craft unions re-
fused to reproduce this mate
rial"
Struck publishers previously
had made such a plan.

u. 5. Arraigns Reds
On Atrociy Charges
During Korean War
Lodge Will Make His
Longest Speech in
Support Of Cases
BY the AssoeiGted Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. Nov.
30.-The United States bitterly
arraigned the Communist world
in the United Nations today for
fearful atrocities in Korea and
for forcibly holding back World
War II prisoners.
Henry Cabot Lodge. jr., chief
United States delegate, was pre-
pared to back up the precedent
setting atrocity charges with the
longest speech of his career as
head of the United States dele
cation, in the full General As
Sembly.
On a second front, South Caro-
lina's Gov. James F. Byrnes went
into the 60-nation Social We'll
fare Committee for another ef-
fort to shake loose German, Ital-
ian and japanese prisoners miss
ing behind the Iron Curtain for
eight years. The U. N. wants to
find out at least whether they
died in the hands of the Soviets
or their satellites.
It is a problem the U. N has
been trying to solve through a
special international commission
since 1850.
Details of Cases Given.
The United States delegation
made public here Saturday night
part of the Defense Depart
ment's detailed listing of 29.815
atrocity cases in Korea. The list
ing covered cases up to last June
80, including Glib American
soldiers, more than 5000 other
U. N. military personnel, and
1884 Korean civilians. The
identity of 839 other victims
could not be determined, the
Americans said.
The United States documents
given the Assembly members
covered eight incidents involving
hundreds of victims. They re-
cited mass torture and beatings.
mass killings by burp-gun
spraying at short range, build
ings fired to burn the inhabi-
tants alive, live burials. and
death marches.
Affidavits from survivors and
eyewitnesses recited horrifying
details that went beyond mis-
treatment, bad food and lack
of medical care.
Much of the testimony dealt
with treatment of prisoners by
North Koreans when the Com
munists retreated north in Sep
telhber. 1850.
Tells of Russian Pictures.
One United States soldier, Pfc.
Allen j. Clifford Of Pemberton.
N. j., said Russians in civilian
dress took photographs of his
group. He was one Of the sur
vivors of a series of mass killings
near Sochon Tunnel, when pris-
oners waiting for their meal of
rice were shot down by auto
matte gunf1re at short range.
Spokesman for Britain, France,
Australia and Turkey were to
take the rostrum after Mr..
Lodge to add their appeals for
an Assembly resolution, spon-
sored by all of them, asking
condemnation of such atrocities.
The step is without precedent
in international history. Neither
the Versailles Peace Conference
nor the League of Nations took
such action after the first World
War. The peace conference in
Paris and the U. N. left second
World War atrocities to the
Nuremberg War Crimes Court.
Some of the story recounted
here in the debate today and
tomorrow will be heard again
when Senator Potter, Repub-
lican. of Michigan brings some
Is atrocity survivors before a
Senate inquiry into the charges
in Washington tomorrow or
Wednesday.

House Group Favors
Virtual Autonomy
For Revenue Service
Two-Yeur Study Cites
Political MeddIine'
By Treasury Officials

A House subcommittee recon-
mended today that the Internal
Revenue Service be made practi-
cally independent of the Treas
ury Department except for
policy rulings.
The Ways and Means Com
mittee group, in the fourth in
stallment of it's report on a two
year investigation, took no
stand on whether the agency
should be divorced completely
from the department.
It left open for possible further
congressional study a Treasury
contention that the department
should keep its supervisory
power over administration Of the
internal revenue laws because it
must conduct fiscal affairs and
help frame tax legislation.
"It seems clear, however, that
there is no necessity for Treas
ury control over decisions on in
dividual tax cases." he subcom-
mittee declared. "The public
hearings on six tax. cases in
which Treasury officials inter-
vened are indicative of the
abuses which can flow from
Treasury control of the decision
making process in tax cases. To
terminate the authority of
Treasury officials over tax ad-
ministration would prevent oc-
currence of such improprie-
ties"
$40 Million in Revenue Lost.
The six cases, discussed in
the reports first installment,
indicated that interference by
several Treasury officials in re-
cent years deprived the Gov
ernment of about $40 million in
revenue, the subcommittee re-
called.
"These disclosures of political
meddling in revenue admins
tration and Of corrupt practices
of revenue officials chosen for
political reasons have added
further impetus to proposals
which have been advanced for
enforcement of the bureau from
the Treasury" the subcommit-
tee continued.
However, too much must not
be read into the six Treasury in
reference cases. No redistribu-
ton of responsibility over tax
administration can guarantee
that the controlling official will
be insensitive to personal or po-
litical considerations.
This result would be particu-
larly likely if, as is quite prob
able, the Commissioner of Inter-
nal Revenue emerged as a strong
political figure as a result of
granting autonomy to the bureau.
Moreover, the subcommittee
has found instances indicating
that honest AMI capable Treas
Jury officials in the past have
acted as a check on venality
and incompetence in the bureau. +"
Aid for Favored Taxpayers.
The new set-up in the Internal
Revenue Service. the subcommit-
tee observed, has made some
desirable changes from the
viewpoint of efficiency" But
these do not go to the core of
the problem 'of Treasury power
to influence handling of specific
cases in the interest of favored
taxpayer" the subcommittee
commented.
AS for Treasury control over
decision-making, the subcom-
mittee noted that approval from
the Secretary of the Treasury is
still required on final tax agree
ments. This same power was
found to have been abused in
some of the cases brought to
light in the investigation, as was
the still-existing vague rule that

Eden Forecasts
Early Big -Four
Ministers Talk
Feels US. Agreeable.
Says Soviet Note
Sets No Conditions
By the Assoeiatsd Pres,


LONDON, Nov. 30.-Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden said to-
day Britain looked forward to
an early meeting of the Big -Four
foreign ministers and was con-
fident the United States shared
this hope.
Mr.. Eden told the House of
Commons the Russian note of
November 26 means the Soviet
government is prepared to meet
with the United States, Britain
and France without condi-
tions."
oaboriteS quickly pressed the
Foreign Secretary on whether
Washington shared his view or
whether the United States State
Department had taken a dis
couraging attitude" He replied:
"I have naturally had COM
munications from the United
States and s.. I have every rea-
son to believe that the answer
! have just given will be en-
dorSed by the United States
Government"
Hopes For Early Date.
Mr.. Eden expressed hope the
meeting will be arranged at an
early date.
Mr.. Eden said on the basis of
the Russian note Britain believes
''it will now be possible to ar
range a meeting" of the United
States, British, French and Rus
sian foreign ministers at an early
date.
British press reports have con-
tended Washington did not take
such an optimistic view of the
prospects for four-power talks.
Herbert Morrison, foreign sec
retary in the former Labor gov
ernment. referred to these re-
ports and asked if Britain would
try to get American agreement
with the British view at the
Forthcoming Bermuda confer
ence.
Confident of u. S. Stand.
Again Mr.. Eden replied:
II can only repeat what I have
said. I have already been in
communication with the United
States Government, and I am
quite confident myself that the
answer I have just given to the
House will be indorsed by the
United States"
Mr.. Eden's reference to the
United States attitude took the
wind out of the Laborites' sails.
1t also came as a surprise to
diplomatic observers here who
had assumed a considerable gap
existed between the views of
London and Washington on the
latest Soviet move.
The Russian note of November
26 expressed the Kremlin's will
ingness to take part in foreign
ministers talks with the three
Western powers.
Note Followed EvasiOns.
It came after many Soviet eva
sions of similar Western invita-
tions dating back to July Is. The
Russian willingness was officially
welcomed by Prime Minister
Churchill's government, but the
State Department in Washing
ton expressed disappointment"
at the contents of the Soviet
note.
There have been eight meet
ings of the Big Four foreign
ministers, five of them on the
German and Austrian questions
which ended without final agree
ment. The last took place from
September 81 to october 6, 1949.
Presumably a reply to the lat
est Russian note will be drafted
by President Eisenhower. Mr.
Churchill and French Premier
Laniel at their conference in
Bermuda beginning Friday.
Mr.. Eden made his statement
in Parliament in reply to ques-
tions about the note. He said:
''As read the Soviet note of
November 26 it means that the
Soviet government are prepared
to meet us without conditions"

They are not alore. Their Gus

In all three cases, search for
the answer goes far beyond the
