Virginia Group
Urges Reforms
In Truck Laws
Proposals Set Stuge
For AII-Out Fight
In "a Assembly
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

R1CHMOND, dec. O.-A leg
islative commission today rec
commended far-reaching changes
in the regulation and taxation
of trucks travelling Virginia
highways. thus setting the stage
for what promises to be an all
out fight in the 1854 General
Assembly.
The proposed changes have
the threefold purpose of provid-
ing more revenue for the State,
making for greater road safety
and giving truckers the right to
carry heavier loads.
In gist, the overall effect would
permit trucks to carry more pro-
vided they pay more for using
the highways.
Dissent Voiced.
The, report Of the commission,
headed by Col. Robert A. Marr
Of Virginia Military Institute,
included these major recon-
mendations:
1. Increase the maximum
weight limit from $4,000 to
$4,000 pounds-a suggestion
that drew a strong dissent from
three Of the nine members Of
the commission.
2. Abolish the current 2 per
cent gross receipts tax that ap-
plies to most of the trucking
industry and replace It with a
new weight-distance tax appli-
cable to all forms of heavy
trucking.
3. Abolish, except on license
tags, the reciprocity agreements
which Virginia has with other
States.
4. Increase the tax on Diesel
fuel two cents above the tax on
gasoline.
5. Increase the legal length OF
the heaviest class of trucks from
IS feet. exclusive of coupling, to
so feet, including coupling.
6. Maintain the present limit
of $4,000 pounds for axles, but
reduce the limit on tandem axles
from $4,000 to $4,000 pounds.
Use Of Radar Urged.
Z. Empower and urge the State
police to use radar devices to
enforce speed limits for both
trucks and automobiles.
8. Trucking associations should
do more self-policing to weed out
reckless drivers.
9. Trucks carrying explosives
should be subject to greater
penalties for speeding and reck-
less driving.
10. Continue the present
method of distributing second
airy highway funds, but instruct
the highway department to con-
tinue exploring avenues toward
a better method.
IL. Empower the division of
motor vehicles to supply locali-
ties with records that would as
sist in the collection of rolling
stock" taxes levied locally on
trucking companies.
These were the brunt OF the
recommendations contained in
the commissions 92-page re-
port, which also included a
minority statement disagreeing
with the advocacy of the ma
jority of raising the weight limit
and increasing the allowable
lengths.
The minority, Delegate Henry
B. Gordon of Charlottesville and
Charles D. Price of Stanley and
Senator George w. Palmer Of
Green Bay, took the view that
liberalizing these provisions
would bring more rapid de-
terioration" of the highway sys-
tenn.
The increased load limits have
long been sought by trucking
concerns operating in Virginia
and have long been opposed by
the railroads. The weight-dis-
tance tax and an end to reci-
procity agreements have been
advocated by the railroads and
opposed by the truckers.
Thus, the recommendations
represent a partial victory and
a partial defeat for both groups,

 If the people of Nebraska take up the cudgels for their friends and relatives in Alaska, it is within the realm of pos sibility that the influential Sen ator might obey their instruc- tionS and reverse his stand.
 It is never necessary to sug- gest to the people of Seward that they make an effort to be par ticularly hospitable and friend ly, as such an attitude is instinc tive with the whole town. We do hope, however, that every resident will make it his busi- ness to become committee of one to prove to the Nebraskans that Alaska is worthy of asso- citation in their union of states.

Alaska and Seward are about to establish another First time" with the goodwill visit of Sew ard, Nebraska and the series of athletic exhibitions to be given in the Alaskan city.
 It is ironic that the constitu- ents of Sen. Hugh Butler, leader of the opposition to Alaska Statehood, are the first to come to the Territory to see for them selves just what there is up here. and to show spirit of friendli- ness never before attempted. The party is primarily to parti
 cipate in an interchange of bas- ketball, softball and bowling matches, but the ten boys are accompanied by twelve of the leading business and profession al men of their city. That it has received approval of the State government is indicated by Resolution passed by the LegiS- lature to purchase the flag of Nebraska to be presented in Seward, Alaska.

There's an odd timeliness, II
not a great deal Of excitement, in
"The Glory Brigade" which
opened yesterday at the Capitol
theater.
It's theme is that of divided
command in Korea and while it
| patiently was made far in ad-
vance Of the current truce crisis,
it mildly points up this strange
turn in this battling war. If Goth
Century-Fox's treatment of the
subject was as impressive as its
clairvoyance in finding it, "The
Glory Brigade" would have been
a more effective film.
AS a starring vehicle for Victor
Mature, it comes of as a high
minded but rather low-voltage
production.
The prophetic author of "The
Glory Brigade" is Franklin Coen
who sets down the story of an
Army Engineers platoon that
volunteers to fight joint action
with a Greek force against an
outnumbering element of Chi
nese Reds.
Quite a point is made of the
fact that these voluntary joint
operations are unusual in view of
the suspicious among United Ma
tions' units of one another's
fighting prowess. Mature, a
Greek-American, makes The ges-
ture Of volunteering. He lives to
rue it when the foray meets with
succession Of quick disasters
but it turns out in the end that
his early regrets are due entirely
to a misunderstanding. The
Greeks prove to be the equals of
the Americans in battle, and
their officers superior to Natures
lieutenant in modesty and good
craftsmanship.
'The Glory Brigade" is an un-
pretentious picture. It is a small
action with which it is concerned
that of blowing a bridge and
probing the enemy's lines for
vital information-and it never
pretends otherwise. This is
rather praiseworthy on the part
Of Director Robert D. Webb, but
it would have been more so had
he been able to conceal in dra-
matte action his concern for get
ting across the pictures message.
The lack Of subtlety in this,
however, may be due to the fact
that wars no longer are subtle.
It is stock hero that Mature
plays in THE Glory Brigade,
which at least partially accounts
for the fact that the best acting
is done by Alex Security and
John Verros playing the Greek
officers in the drama.

gives the performance of his Ca
reer as Sergt. Seton in "Stalag
IT," Seton is a "loner," the
sort that invites suspicion in
any treacherous situation, and
Holden plays his virtues and
faults to the hilt.
Yet, in their smaller dimen-
sions, each of the other roles
in the film is equally we'll played,
most notably by Taylor, Harvey
Lembeck, Otto Preminger, Rich
ard Erdman and Peter Graves.
AS it was in it's days on the
stage, "Stalag II" is one Of the
seasons film highlights.
Evening star., 1953-07-10

"Sta1ag II" may be a forbid
ding title, but there Is nothing
forbidding about the movie Of
that name which opened today
as the Columbia Theater.
It Is a comedy drama that is
both comic and dramatic.
A couple of Americans named
Don Bevan and Edmund Trzcin-
ski both lived and wrote the ex-
perience on which "Stalag IT"
is based and they made it one
of the best plays to come out
of World War II. It has some
thing to say about Americans
as prisoners of war that kept
Broadway guffawing for two sea-
sons. Now, as a film, it should
have the same effect upon much
larger audiences for this is a
tale as exciting as it is cheerful.
Both elements are highly vis-
ible in Billy Wilder's screen ver-
sion which stars William Holden
and Don Taylor and wisely en-
ploys beyond these a number
who were in the original stage
hit, directed by Jose Ferrer.
"Stalag II" is a drama that
appeals equally to actors and
audiences, a rare distinction that
it shares with Mister Roberts"
to which it Is kin in its irrepres-
sible spirit.
Wilder, who co-wrote and di-
rected the Paramount produc-
ton Of "Stalag IT," has expand
ed it beyond it's stage dimensions.
Instead Of the prison barracks
interior which comprised the
original setting, he turns his
cameras on the whole prison
camp-including the stockade
in which the Nazis confined
those Russian women prisoners.
Both the additional space and
the Russian amazons represent
decided assets to this "Stalag
IT."
Wisely, however, he has left
the basic story untouched. It
still is concerned with a roister-
ing group of Air Force sergeants
who mar!age, in one way or an
other, 10 give their German
captors no peace. They are cold,
underfed, and harshly treated
but out of their high spirits they
achieve the luxury Of at least a
tie in tormenting the Nazis.
Being German prisoner Of
war. however, is no lark and
"Stalag II" makes this suspense
fully clear in the screenplay's
melodramatic aspect.
This lies in the circumstance
that, among the prisoner group,
there is one who is providing
the camp staff with complete
intelligence of what goes on in
side of Barracke 4. The quest
for this informer, who might
be any one of the prisoners,
provides "Stalag II" with a
drama as sharp as it's humor is
hilarious.
Holden, who was in the Army
Air Forces during the war and
since has become Hollywood's
most rapidly rising leading man,

sion with Don Camille" Don
Camille marches on, a small,
lone man. He comes to crowd
of Peppone supporters barring
his way and walks straight
ahead. The Communist ranks
open up and Don Camille walks
through. AS he does. these
would-be foes of the church
automatically turn and follow
him reverently to the river.
There is a great deal more
to THE Little World of Don
Camille" than can be set forth
in this sketchy report, but all
you really need to know is that
it's a wonderful movie. Duvivier
and the cast headed by Fer
nandel have succeeded COM
pletely in making it more comic,
touching and warm hearted
than anything that's come along
in months. See it.
Incidentally, if you have ac-
customed yourself to foreign
films you'd better see the Italian
or French version, both of which
have English subtitles. The
dubbed version merely puts the
Subtitles on the sound track
without any serious attempt to
match all syllables with lip
movements and it may make you
a bit uncomfortable. It won't
keep you from having the best
time at a movie that you have
had in some time, but it's a point
to consider.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
ABOUT
EMPLOYMENT SECURITY

This article, number thir-
teen of a series explaining the
Mississippi Employment Sec
urity Program, pertains to the
prevention of fraud in the IN
employment Insurance Pro-
gram.
Q. If claimant knowingly mis-
represents facts in order to re-
ceive benefits. what are the PEN
alties that can be assessed?
A. It varies according to the Sc
verify of the offense. In some in
stances a short term Disqualified
ton may be assessed. In more
serious cases the disqualification
may cancel all sixteen weeks
of eligibility, which has the eff
feet of preventing the claimant
from drawing any benefits what
soever in that benefit year. In
cases where intent to defraud is
evident the claimant can be GRIM
inally prosecuted and, if found
guilty, fined from $40 to $50 and
sentenced to thirty days impris-
onment for each offense. Each
week in which the claimant files
a fraudulent claim constitutes a
separate offense.
@. What should a person do
when he knows or suspects that
some individual is drawing bene-
fits fraudulentlY?
A. Notify the local employment
office or the state office of the
Mississippi Employment Security
Commission.
Q. How can employers help the
agency to eliminate fraud?
A. BY fully informing the agen-
cy as to why workers left their
Jobs, who the workers on the
present payroll are, and by fur
nishing all other information the
agency asks for.
@. How long does a disqualifi-
cation assessed against worker
last?
A. Only for the duration Of the
benefit year in which it was as
sessed. However, in the event a
worker is for any reason paid
money he is not entitled to, it
must be refunded before he can
ever again draw benefits. A per-
manent entry is made on his wage
credits record and when he again
becomes eligible for benefits the
amount he owes will be deducted.
even though it is years later.
Q. Is paying claims the most
important function of the agency7
A. No, the placing of people in
jobs is the most important. Next
week our article will pertain to
some of the constructive work Of
the Employment Service.
