of the old Joe Louis fight days,
and the 1947 World Series which

NEW YORK, GLOBAL) - The
big controversy in the American
League is finally settled and the
st. Louis Browns will move to
Baltimore and will be known as
the Baltimore Orioles. We are glad
the problem is finally settled, but
we are sorry Bill Veeck was
squeezed out and forced to sell.
Del, Webb, co-owner of the New
York Yankees had sought to move
the Browns to Los Angeles, and the
whole fight seemed to have deter
iorated into a personal conflict be-
tween the two men.
This is significant to us, because
Bill Veeck has demonstrated
through his work with the Cleved-
land Indians and the Harlem
Globetrotters, that he is straight"
as far as Negroes are concerned;
while Del Webb is bulwark in the
Yankee organization which has re-
peatedly refused to give Negro
players an even break.
Following several long and hard
battles which threatened several
times to reach the point of actual
fisticuffs, Webb finally gave in "to
avoid dissension in the League"
But it looks as if the American
League will be a 10-team circuit
with Los Angeles and San Francis
co included in.

GE Suspends 7 Men
Called Reds by FBI
Undercover Agent
Neur-Riot Prevented
As Pair Fights Election
At Mccarthy Inquiry
BY the Associated Press

BOSTON. Nov 20.-The Gen.
eral Electric Co. has suspended
two employees who were named
as Communists by an FBI un-
dercover agent at a stormy hear
ing Of Senator McCarthy's Red
hunting committee.
Taken abruptly off the GE
payroll last night were Robert
Goodwin. 38, and Nathaniel
Mills. SO, both longtime en-
ployes of General Electric's S
River Works plant at Lynn.
They were dramatically
pointed out as card-carrying
Communists yesterday by Will
liam H. Teto, So, of Ashby. who
said he joined the Communist
Party in 1941 at the request OF
the Federal Bureau of Investi-
cation.
Goodwin and Mills nearly pre-
cipitated a riot in the hearing
room when they fought election
after refusing to take the stand
to deny or affirm the accusa-
ton against them.
Mccarthy Orders Men Out.
Senator Mccarthy ordered the
men escorted out of the room
by United States marshals wher
they sought vociferously to be
heard but, at the same time, re-
fused to take an oath and say
whether or not they were Com
muniStS.
Senator Mccarthy said both
men invoked the fifth amend
ment "a protection against self
incrimination) at a closed hear
ing of his Senate permanent in
vestigating subcommittee the
previous day.
Shortly after their suspension
by General Electric, Essex Coun.

Gregg announced he plans tt
launch an investigation against
Goodwin and Mills with a view
toward criminal action.

PARIS, Nov. 20.-The French
Foreign Minister, Georges BIZ
dault, appeared or sGi1e verge of
collapse when ~ appeared be-
fore the Natior Il Assembly today
in a foreign policy debate. He
was helr-d from the platform
after he had read only third
of his prepared address.
The 54-year-old Foreign Min
lister is scheduled to depart for
Bermuda in 10 days with Premier
Joseph Laniel for the three
power conference. When he got
up to speak today he rested both
hands on the speakers stand.
He spoke with unusual slowness.
AS he went on, the words came
more and more slowly. Finally,
as deputies noticed that he ap-
parently was in trouble, Social
ist Max Lejeune asked for Sus-
pension of the session.
Mr.. Bidault seemed not to i'm
mediately comprehend what had
happened. He was aided down
the steps and into the Office of
Premier Laniel.

been under extreme pressure of
work, was reported to have been

Tax Raise Proposal
To Be Revealed by
City Heads Today
$4.5 Million Revenue
Expected From Phone
And Income Levies

The Commissioners were to an
nounce today their schedule of
proposed District tax increases,
totaling more than $4.5 million
annually. to help finance the
city's proposed $3O5 million pub
lie works improvement program.
A furry of 11th hour meet
ingS with civic leaders, local
government officials, a Congress
man and two top congressional
aides yesterday and last night
rounded out the Commissioner
ideas on a financing plan.
The program was expected to
be announced during the morn
ing, but, after a long session
with their principal aides, the
city heads said the details were
not ready. They instructed that
final draft be prepared as soon
as possible. This assignment
was given to Assessor James L.
Martin, with instructions that
Mr. Martin submit the document
for approval by each individual
commissioner. The drafting was
expected to be finished by mid
afternoon.
This program is expected to
exclude any raise in the real eS-
tate tax, and only slight, if any,
increases in the income and sales
tax rates.
Phone Tax Considered.
Although they have previously
announced they would maintain
a hands-off policy toward the
sales and personal income levies,
it was understood that the Com
missioners have considered:
l. A 2 per cent sales tax on
local telephone calls.
2. A per cent increase in the
income tax, with the present
$4,000 personal exemption re-
manning in force.
The telephone sales tax ap-
peared a possibility, since at
present no local sales levy is i'm
posed on phone bills. Telephone
service already is heavily as
seSsed with Federal taxes, levy
which the Chesapeake & Po-
tomac Telephone Co. has been
urging its consumers to resist.
Would Boost Income Rate.
Aside from a telephone sales
tax, the city heads were under
stood to have resisted sugges-
tions that general sales tax rates
be increased.
Previously the commissioners
have indicated they favored a
possible lowering of the income
tax exemption. 1t is understood
now their thinking has changed,
leaving the exemption as it is

Early Demands Abandoned.
The Communist plan calls for
acknowledgement nations to at
tend the conference without a
vote on major issues. They
apparently abandoned early de-
mands that some non -belligerents
have full participation-a plan
exactly opposite to the United
Nations proposal for a meeting
of only those nations which
fought in Korea.
However, Mr.. Deans pressure
on the Reds to give details of
their proucSa. indicates the allies
might be willing to reach some
sort of COMPROMISE.
He told the Reds today:
You can not expect me to
consider seriously. nor to pass On
to the other 16 nations whom !

proposal which are far from
clear. I can not transmit that
which is fuzzy"
When he left Washington, Mr..
Dean had instructions only to
exchange views" on compost
ton.
Attacked As WarmOnger.
Mr.. Dean said the Communists
would not answer his repeated
requests that they explain to him
simply, clearly and specifically
what observers would do at the
conference.
Instead, he said, they delivered
a long, abusive. ill-tempered
harangue (and) attacked
me for being a warmonger, hav-

Federal Court Asked
To Bar Belt Road
In Rock Creek Park
Suit Filed by Residents
ofMonteomery Says Plan
For Lund Is Illegal
By George Beveridqe

Six Montgomery County resi-
dents filed suit in Federal
Court here today against the
National Capital Planning Com
mission, seeking to wipe out
its approval of the use of Rock
Creek Park for the proposed
intercounty belt freeway.
The suit also was an indirect
attack on bitterly contested pro-
posals for a leg of u. S. Route
240, since Route 240 traffic. under
present plans would use the belt
roadway through the park
stretch.
The plaintiffs. all with prop
erty abutting the park, contended
the roadway is an illegal use of
the park land, in that it violates
restrictions imposed by the Cap
per-Cramton Act of 1880 and
by a 1881 agreement between
the National Capital Planning
/ Commission and the Maryland
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission.
Would Bar Belt Road.
They asked that the planning
commission be ordered to notify
the Maryland Roads Commits
sion that the park land can't
be used for the belt road, and
to refuse to approve "any SINH
lar highways" in the park.
Both the Maryland Roads
Commission and the Maryland
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission said immedi-
ately that they intend to join the
national commission as inter-
ested parties to the suit.
The park area involved is q
slender wooded section between
Wisconsin avenue and Forest
Glen.
Originally, the Maryla n
Roads Commission proposed tc
build two roadways through it
One was the belt route, intended
to encircle Washington COM
pletely on the Maryland side
of the Potomac. The other was
the Route 240 southeast leg
which would have entered the
park near Wisconsin avenue ano
dropped southwark out of it te
terminate at the East-West
highway near Jones Mill road
The national planning com.
mission refused to go along with
the dual-road idea. But on Oc-
tober 80. it tentatively approved
the belt road location, with
assurances that the belt roac
would have the characteristic o1
parkway"
The roads commission, in turn
announced that it proposed tt
feed Route 240 traffic onto thl
belt road through the park, ant
to build an independent 240 lei
from a point south of the parl
to the East-West highway owe

The Eisenhower administra-
tion's best hope for the fiscal
1855 budget is a deficit of So to
81 billion-attainable only if
Federal spending can be cut
nearly Sc billion from the pres
ent rate.
A high administration official
gave this estimate to reporters
yesterday. He said that OBJ
! viouSly a big part of any $6 bill
lion saving would have to come
+ from national security spending,
and is not yet in sight. He also
said any such saving would be
| effected only if it could be done
without impairing the national
security.
His forecast assumed also that
Congress will heed President
Eisenhower's request for extern
sion Of present high corporate
and excise tax rates beyond next
April /, when they are due for
automatic reduction.
The informant, who stipulated
that his name should not he
used, gave these further fore
casts:
L. The leash budget" probably
can be balanced. This budget
Classics as Government income
social security contributions,
which exceed 81 billion a year.
The conventional budget does
not, since they go into a special
trust fund.
2. The administration will ask
that the present 11a per cent
rate of social security tax be ex-
tended for year. The rate is
due to go to 2 per cent on jan
uary /, before Congress con-
venes, but some adjustment
could be made to refund any
money collected at that rate.
8. The administration def
nitely will renew its request, re-
jected by Congress last summer,
for an increase in the national
debt ceiling from $275 billion to
$500 billion.
There is not the slightest
doubt, the official said, that the
ceiling will have to be raised
sooner or later.
This whole picture, an au-
thoritative reflection of current
thinking at the Treasury De-
partment, does not conflict with
Secretary of the Treasury Hum
phrey's recent forecast of an
So to SO billion deficit in the
1855 fiscal year starting next
July /.
Secretary Humphrey specified
in offering that estimate, that
it did not take into account
savings he said would be made
If the savings are as SUBJ
stantial as top officials now hope
this is the picture which Presi-
dent Eisenhower will present tc
Congress in his budget message
early in January:

compared to $72 billion outlay
scheduled for the current fscal
year.
