Bv ROWLAND EVANS JR.

WASHINGTON R--John L. Lew
is turns the full heat Of his wrath
today on Tom Lyon. already under
fire as President Eisenhower S
candidate to boss the Bureau of
Mines.
Lewis. president of the United
Mine Workers, has called lyon a
political hack" and a compare
tive ignoramus.
Lyon astonished members of the
Senate Interior Committee at the
start of his confirmation hearing
yesterday by disclosing he is get
ting an annual $1,000 pension from
Anaconda Copper Company and
remarking that the federal coal
mine safety law should never have
been passed. He said safety en-
forcement powers should be exer-
cised by the states.
Sen. Jackson (D-Wash) predicted
in advance of today's session:
Il don't see how at this point
Lyon could qualify for the job. ="
If the onetime Salt Lake City min
ing engineer gives no further
explanation" Jackson said, ''he
has placed himself in an impossi-
bic position"
Lyon, IS, worked for Anaconda
Copper or its subsidiaries from
1916 to 1850. He is now acting
deputy administrator of the De-
Tense Metals Procurement Admin
iStration.
A large, quiet-spoken man, Lyon
yesterday told the committee:
l. Several government officials
he knows have the same pension
arrangement with their companies
that he has with Anaconda.
Lyon said his pension could be
cut off at the whim of the COM
pany. And he added: "You can't
take these government jobs without
some outside income" The Direc.

Reed Throws Up New Barrier
To Extension OF EP Taxes
BY CHARLES 2. BARRETT

WASHINGTON IN - Rebellious
Rep. Daniel A. Reed threw up a
new barrier today in his blockade
against the Eisenhower admins
tration's drive to extend the excess
profits tax.
The veteran New York Repub-
lican simply called of all meet
ings Of the House Ways and Means
Committee. which he heads, until
further notice. Hearings on tax
revision had been scheduled weeks
ago for today and tomorrow.
Reed already has refused to con-
vene his committee specifically for
a vote On the profits tay extension.
There was speculation among
congressman that his new maneu-
yer had stopped dead in its tracks
any plan by House Republican
leaders to circumvent the chair
man and start some surprise action
from the committee ranks during
meeting called on other matters.
The extension proposal thus re-
NAMED tightly bottled in the COM
mittee, with no indication when or
whether the impasse would be
broken. The committee normally
must start all tax bills through
Congress.
The profits tax expires automat-
ically next Tuesday, although ii
could be extended retroactiyely.
Tension obviously was mounting as
the psychological deadline ap-
preached. The administration has
made an about fight for the ex-
tension, saying it needs the 800
million dollars involved, but Reed
has stood firmly against it.
There were no signs that a com
promise proposed by House Major.
ity Leader Halieck (R-Ind) made
any dent in Reeds opposition.
Halleck suggested that the tax be
extended with new provision to
exempt firms making less than
500 900 net profit a year. That
would relieve about 10000 of the
SIS 900 firms now paying the levy.
Reed tolc reporters he was
"awfully busy" with other matters
and didn't know anything about the
compromise. tie added, with a
trace Of a smile. he expected to
| be even buster in the future.
House Republican leaders still
were hopeful some understanding
could be reached with Reed, but
! they conceded they could see little
/ ground for optimism.
For the first time, two Repub,
, Leans on the committee quietly
offered bills to extend the tax or
! corporation profits found to BIZ
abnormal.

In seniority among the Is commit
tee Republicans, introduced ;

Lewis Objects To Proposed Mines Bureau Boss

tor Of the Bureau of Mines gets
$4,000 year. Private pensions
to government officials are not
illegal.
2. He doesn't think any mining
company would "Wllfully do any
thing that would cause an acct
dent because it costs them so much
money" in workmen's compensa-
ton, insurance and the like.
8. That SO per cent of all min
ing disasters and accidents are the
result of careleSsness on the part
of individual miners"
Jackson and Sen. Clements
(D-Ky) at once demanded statistics
to support that statement.
4. That mine safety is a estate
responsibility" and that passage
of the law giving the federal gov
eminent power to close down
mines lis just that much more
federal control"
Lyon commended the federal gov
ernmen should advise state safety
regulators and should work closely
with mine operators, but should
not have any police powers"
But if confirmed as head of the
bureau, he said, he would "not
hesitate for a minute" to close
down a mine deemed unsafe.
Clements, after that comment,
said: Il seriously doubt you know
much about this business"
And jackson said: You're the
first man to come before this com.
mittee and admit you're not in
sympathy with the philosophy of
the laws you'll have to admins.
