Financial analysts, who like
to butt into every one else's busi-
ness, are trying to tell Charles E.
Wilson what to do with couple
of million dollars in cash.
One idea: Buy municipal bonds.
The new Secretary of Defense
should have an enormous amount
of cash after he disposes of his
39,470 shares of General Motors
stock, now selling at about $67 a
share.
When he testified before a
Senate committee considering
his nomination, the harried Mr..
Wilson cried:
II don't know what to do with
the money-maybe I will have
to invest it in Canada or
Mexico"
He has to get rid of General
Motors stock because the firm
does so much business with the
Government. But these days
almost any firm is likely to be
affected by Government buying.
Tax-Exempt Bonds.
So some brokers suggest in
formally that he put his for
tune in municipal bonds because
the interest from them is tax
exempt.
These experts figure that with
municipal bonds, Mr.. Wilson
would have a greater take home
pay than if he had kept his GIN
shares.
The GIN stock has been paying
an annual dividend of 81 a share,
crossing Mr.. Wilson $157.880 a
year. But Mr.. Wilson apparently
had to pay at least 80 per cent
in income taxes. His net from
the dividends would be only
$15.78
Selling the stock would get
him about $2.6 million. From
this, he would have to pay about
$450,000 capital gains taxes-a
levy on the profit from a rise in
the price of the stock. After the

crat, of Minnesota said the Lucas
proposal would take the labor
movement back to the 1905. :"
Representative Bailey, Democrat,
of West. Virginia said the Lucas
plan would confuse. not stabil-
ize, our economy"
"a better approach" said Rep
resentative Howell, Democrat, of
New Jersey, might be some
thing that would bring about
more democratic procedures in
our unions instead of interfering
with collective bargaining"
From Representative Perkins,
Democrat. Of Kentucky came a
warning that Mr.. Lucas would
destroy the economy Of our coun-
try"

at the thought Of selling Motors
short.
IT guess ! am a sort Of opti-
mist" he said.
For the same reason. he prob
ably has little appetite for such
a stable commodity as municipal
bonds. # the Senate had left
him alone. he would be the last
person to listen to any brokers
who say he is better of in city
bonds than in hard-slugging GIN.

Non.Red Affidayits
For Employers Urged
Under Taft-HatIey

Representative Heating. Re-
publican, Of New York urged
Congress today to require all en-
ployers using the Taft Hartley
Act to swear that they are not
Communists.
Mr.. Keating, in a statement
prepared for the House Labor
Committee, pointed out that un-
ion officials already must sign
affldavits that they are not Com
muniStS.
Putting employers under the
same provision. he said, would
balance the law.
mot Within Reason"
1T is not without the realm
Of reason that a Communist,
Communist Sympathizer or fell
low traveller could and would
start a business or gain control
Of q business or institution with
the specific purpose Of using the
profits of a capitaliStic economy
to further his nefarious business
of trying to overthrow the very
Government which makes his
profits possible" Mr.. Keating
said.
The Labor Committee, in the
second day of hearings on pro-
posed amendments to the Taft
Hartley labor law. called in Mr..
Keating and freshman Represen-
tatiVe Byrd. Democrats, of West
Virginia. to explain changes they
would make.
Mr. Byrd wanted to repeal the
Taft-Hartley act and substitute
the old National Labor Relations
Act. He is sponsoring a two para
graph bill to do the job. He re-
CARDS this as a Democratic CAM
paign promise.
Would Exempt Publications.
Mr.. Keating also argued for
an amendment intended to ease
fears that the labor law might
interfere with the rights of
unions or employers to publish
newspapers.
Political contributions Of labor
and management are limited,
but Mr.. Keating would exempt
from this limitation money spent
on "a newspaper or news maga-
zine regularly published at stated
intervals not less frequently than
monthly
Another Heating amendment
would provide that, mo labor
organization, shall be held re-
sponsible for the acts of any
member solely on the ground Of
such membership"
Taft Hartley makes unions
responsible for acts of their
membership, but Mr.. Heating
said unions should not be billed
for something done by an in
dividual unionist acting on his
own.
Asks Light, Not Heat.
Committee Chairman McCon-
nell, Republican, of Pennsylvania
has asked witnesses and COM
mittee members to shed light,
not heat" on labor law problems.
The hearings are expected to
last for weeks. They got of to
an uneasy start yesterday when
Representative Lucas. Democrat,
Of Texas defended an amend
ment aimed at banning indus
try-w1de bargaining. He said
the "evil effects" of an industry
wide work stoppage hurt the
public interest. He said the
general interest should be put
above the interests of any seq
ment Of society.

Probers Urge Firing
Ola Educators for
Baking at Questions
By Robert K. Welsh

Senate Internal Security sub
committee members said today
that New York school authorities
should fire four men from college
posts for baking at questions
about Communist Party mem
bership.
Further open hearings were
suddenly postponed for a week
or more, after the subcommittee
heard the four witnesses in open
session and two others behind
closed doors yesterday.
Members showed no surprise
when an English professor from
Queens College, a physical edu-
cation professor from Brooklyn
College and two employees Of the
registrars Office at New York
City College refused to answer
open hearings questions on
grounds Of possible self-incrim-
ination.
But several OF the Senators
remarked later that they were
angered. not only by that resort
to the Fifth Amendment. but
also by the attitude Of the wit
nesses toward the subcommittee
right to investigate them at all.
Senator Smith, Democrat, of
North Carolina, was one who
told reporters he believes the
New York City Board Of Higher
Education should discharge the
four men. The board controls the
New York municipal colleges.
Subcommittee Chairman Jen-
ner, Republican, of Indiana, said
there was no special significance
in the abrupt halt in the hear
ings. They had been called to
hear some 10 witnesses and to
continue today.
The chairman said several
members were leaving the Capt.
tai for Lincoln'S Birthday OBJ
servances and that the suhcom-
mittee staff also wants more
time to investigate pending cases.
The House Committee on Un-
American Activities planned to
hold hearings Wednesday and
Thursday next on communism in
American colleges. It chairman,
Representative Velde, Republic
can, of Illinois, charged last
night that Russia never would
have solved the secret of the
atlnoic bomb except for infil-
tration of her spies in various
scientific laboratories and col
leges in this country"

NEW YORK.
A $2.3 million television
production and $375,000 to
100000 radio show are COM
ing your way in the week
ahead-the 1853 World Series
starting Wednesday.
The sponsor has scheduled
the NBC network telecast of
the Yankees-Dodgers battle
over 105 stations in 100 cities
81 of which will be seeing
the series on TV for the first
time.
The same sponsor will put
the Mutual BroadcaSting Sys-
TEN radio broadcast on sos of
that networks affiliated sta
tionS, 200 independent stations
and the Canadian Broadcast
ing Corp. radio network. It
will be short-waved around the
world by the Armed Forces
Network, and a Spanish ver-
sion will go on a Latin Amer
lean hookup.
For the first time the series
telecaSt will go to Canada,
over stations at Toronto,
Montreal and Ottawa.
A new wrinkle will be an air.
lift arrangement for the first
telecaSt to Cuba. General
Precision Laboratories fast
film processing equipment is
being flown to Miami to make
film recordings of the series
at Station WT'VJ. At three
inning intervals. the recordings
will be flown to Havana and
aired on the CMQ network
within two hours of the live
telecaSt in this country.
Seventeen Deal
The sponsor is paying a fiat
81 million for telecast rights
and has a seven-year deal for
radio rights for a total of $1.3
million. or not quite 100000
a series. The remainder Of
the cost will be for broadcast
time over the networks and
stations carrying the series.
Both radio and televiSion
broadcasts will start Is min
utes before game time, or at
12:45 pm. weekdays and las
pm. on Sunday, if the series
lasts that long.
The radio broadcaSts might
we'll have a bigger audience
than the telecaSts. One rea-
son is that approximately 25
million homes have TV sets
while about As million have
radios. by network estimates,
besides which there are some
25 million auto radios and
millions more portables and
sets in offices, factories and
public places. Another is that
the weekday games will be at
hours when millions of per-
sons are at work and can't
get to a TV set but may be in
earShot of a radio.
What the actual audiences
will be is anybody's guess.
However, those for the 1852
Series were well below s0r1e
of the stratospheric preSe-
ries estimates. Audience sur
veys indicated the peak au-
diences were for the Sunday
game and that the telecasts
reached a fraction under Al
per cent of the 10 million TV
sets then in use and not quite
35 per cent of the A million
homes that had radio in 1852.
