Security First, Tax
Cut Later, Marlin
Tells B'nai Birth

Since the cost of survival and
freedom continues to be high, the
people Of the United States may
have to wait for a cut in taxes,
House Speaker Martin said last
night.
He was a speaker at the ban
Quet of the Triennial Convention
of B'nai Birth, held in the Hotel
Statler. The f1ve-day session of
the organization was to close to-
day with election of officers.
Philip M. Klutznick, Chicago at
torney. is slated to succeed Frank
Goldman as president of the
group.
Mr.. Martin told the assemblage
this country must not risk its
security.
I'VE will make sharp reductions
in our spending, and we will re-
duce taxes where we can do so
without flirting with disaster" he
declared.
wants Sound Dollar.
II believe that a return to a
sound dollar is essential to a
truly stable economy-an econ
omy not based upon imitation tied
to excessive armament expendi-
lures. I know that the Ameri-
can people want that sound dol
lar. And I believe that they can
and will get it.
But we will not get it by wait
ing for miracles to occur and
certainly not by reducing our
taxes before they should be. The
problem of tax reduction, like
the other complex problems our
Nation faces. can be solved. It
will be solved, but at the proper
time"
Mr.. Martin also suggested
that the people of Israel could
work out their differences with
their Arab neighbors.
THE peace and stability Of
the Middle East are essential If
We are to have a genuinely peace
ful world" he added.
Cites Red Aggression.
AS to the threat Of Russia, he
said:
II do not need to belabor this
audience with details as to the
nature Of the Communist men
ace. The attempted sub
version of Greece. the blockade
Of Berlin. the bloody aggression
In Korea and Indo-C -China-these
are some of the dismal guides to
the sort of peace policy the
Communists have pursued since
World War lis end"
Another speaker was Senator
Humphrey, Democrat, of Min
nesota. He said that "preserv-
ing freedom in the world today
means more than stamping out
foes of freedom with military
might"
If we have learned anything
In our time" Senator Humphrey
continued, "it is that military
might alone, without moral pur-
pose and humane resolve to
build a better world for others as
we'll as for ourselves. can solve
none Of our problems"
Message From Eisenhower.
A message was received from
President Eisenhower. It stated
in part:
1T was my privilege a few
years ago, as Army Chief of
Staff, to award to B'nai Birth
the first citation given by the
Army to any civilian agency for
patriotic service during World
War II. Today, as I follow the
tradition of every American
President since William Howard
Taft, I am glad to express. my
appreciation for B'nai Births
achievements in promoting un-
derstanding, cooperation and
good will among Americans Of
all races and creeds."
Vice President Nixon was
among the distinguished guests
at the dinner.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 49,
The Maryland Court of Appeals
yesterday upheld the conviction
of G. Edward Grammer in a
wife-slaying that first appeared
to be an auto accident.
The decision left Grammer
only two narrow avenues to es-
cape hanging. He could carry
his case to the United States Su-
preme Court. Or he could plead
for mercy from Gov. McKeldin.

fused to upset the verdict of a
Baltimore Judge which headed
Grammer toward the gallows for
the murder of his wife. Dorothy

Publicity Denounced.
Defense lawyers had argued
that publicity about IAN almost
perfect murder" had so aroused
the public that the 36-year-old
New York Office manager could
never have found an impartial
jury. They also said he con-
fessed to police only after a mis-
cradle night on a plywood bed.
and then on the implied promise
he would be treated well in court.
Grammer was sentenced April
Z to hang for what was described
as a near perfect crime.

record crowds in Baltimore and

News in Brief
Virginia Releases
Juvenile Report

Too many juveniles are taken
to court in Northern Virginia and
too many are confined in jails
and lockups. according to a re-
port made public today by the
Northern Virginia Regional
Planning Commission.
The report was prepared by
Frederick Ward, jr., Southern di-
rector of the National Probation
and Parole Association. A por-
ton of the report released last
month recommended conStruc-
ton of a regional juvenile de-
tention home in Northern Vir-
ginia.
Other recommendations in the
portion made public today are
creation of juvenile bureaus in
police departments, closer CO.
operation between some juvenile
judges and welfare agencies, and
more careful screening of juve-
nile cases to determine whether
criminal action is necessary every
time.

feels that TAO super grade jobs
are not nearly enough to pro-
vide adequate incentive and re-
ward for employees in top ad-
ministrative positions.
csc officials also point to the
inequities of the present system,
under which some agencies such
as Central Intelligence Agency.
Atomic Energy Commission, the
Foreign Operations Administra-
ton, State Department foreign
service and several others, have
been given unlimited authority
by Congress in regard to super
grade jobs. These positions. in
cidentally, are separate from the
TAO for the rest of the Govern
ment'S service.
Figures on the number of jobs
in these agencies have never
been made public. but commits
sion officials say the total prob
ably comes close to the number
of super-grade positions in the
rest of the Federal departments
and agencies combined.
The commission would like to
see more super jobs created
throughout the Federal service
to fit the needs of each agency.
Under such a system, Congress
still would have the authority to
review the situation from year
to year to see that agencies
didn't go "hog wild" in creating
super jobs.
Commission officials do not
begrudge these especially treated
agencies the number of super
grade jobs they now have. But
they feel it is only fair that the
rest of the Governments de-
partments get enough super
jobs, too. This will leaL to more
effective management and more
suitable rewards and incentives
for employees with top abilities.
