AFL Paper Says Nixon
Speech Confirmed
Durkin's S Charges
BY the Associated Press

The AFL News Reporter said
yesterday Vice President Nixon
has fully confirmed the truth
Of Martin Durkin's charges that
the President had broken an
agreement" on submitting Taft
Hartley law changes to Congress.
The union newspaper referred
to Mr.. NiXon'S speech to the
AFL convention in st. Louis last
week, wherein the Vicea Presi-
dent said there must have been
misunderstanding" between
President Eisenhower and Mr..
Durkin, an AFL union leader who
quit as Secretary of Labor.
Mr.. Durkin claims he resigned
because Gen. Eisenhower broke
a promise to submit a message
to Congress containing union
favoring Taft Hartley amend
ments. Gen. Eisenhower said
Wednesday he never knowingly
broke his word to any associate.
Passage in Speech Cited.
The News Reporter called at
tention to a passage in Mr..
Nixon's speech saying the Vice
President never had anything to
do with the substance of a mes
sage prepared for Congress, but
only with its timing.
The article continued:
But Nixon, himself, gave
away the hypocricy-to put it
mildly-of the White House posi-
ton when he admitted that there

was a presidential message tt
Congress on the aft-Hartley
amendments and asserted thai
his only connection with it wa.
as regards timing In Other
words, he urged it be held ur
because of Senator Taft'S death
"Thus Nixon inadvertently
gave himself and the President
away and fully confirmed the
charges that the President had
broken an agreement to submit
this message to Congress as the
administrators position on
Taft-Hartley changes"
Study Still Incomplete.
No message was sent to Con-
gress, and Gen. Eisenhower said
recently his study of the matter
still is incomplete although he
intends to submit proposals to
correct "a number of defects"
when Congress reconvenes in
January.
The "News-Reporter" ridi-
culed another passage in Mr..
Nixon's st. Louis speech in
which the Vice President said
he and Mrs. Nixon had become
fast friends with Mr.. and Mrs.
Durkin and wanted to see them
whenever they were back in
Washington.

Eisenhower Indicates
CamaIier Will Serve
Full Term in Office

It appeared today that Renah
F. Camalier will get his wish to
serve out his full term as Dis
trict Commissioner.
During his press conference
yesterday, President Eisenhower
indicated that = the administra-
ton plans no move to obtain Mr..
Camalier's resignation.
When he was asked about re-
ports that the White House
might be awaiting the resigna-
ton of Commissioner Camalier
in order to appoint his success
sor concurrently with that of
Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-
hue, the President smiled broad
ly and commented that he I'M

can serve until their terms have
expired.
Mr.. Camalier has limited only
once that he might resign. That
came before the election, when
he said he agreed with a remark
by Mr.. Donohue that the latter
regarded the job a personal ap-
pointment" and would submit
his resignation to the new Presi-
dent.
But he since has steadfastly
insisted that he does not intend
to resign. that he has been do
ing his job as commissioner, and
that he hoped to serve the re-
naming q months of his term.

neighborhood. Improvement as
sessments have been raised from
So per cent to SO per cent during
the same period.
Attacks Walker Assessment.
Mr.. Parker attacked principal
ly the assessment of the home Of
Albert Walker, at 4 Wetherell
road, Westmoreland Hills.
He said the "showplace" home,
valued by the secretary of the
State Tax Commission at $50, 900
to $4,000, was assessed at $12,-
600, still some SO per cent above
the 1948 assessment. The land,
he said, was increased in value
only "a per cent during the same
period.
Mr.. Parker also cited random
examples of irregular increases
during the same period in other
communities in the county.
Charging that land assessment
increases were out of line in
Montgomery County. Mr.. Parker
said the assessments had jumped
165 per cent in the county from
1945 to 1852, while the entire
State land assessment went UP
only Is per cent.
From 1948 to 1852. he said,

pand on his statement that he
considered commisSionerships as
statutory appointments.
Mr.. Camalier had no comment
this morning on the Presidents
press conference.
The Supreme Court has de-
cided in a previous case-not in
volving the appointment of a
commiSsioner-that the Presi-
dent is without power to remove
a quasi-judicial officer without
cause until his term expires.
In a Commissioner case, the
U. S. Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia has held,
however, that the President does
have the power to remove q
commissioner.
There is no issue involved in
the case Of Mr.. Donohue. He
has indicated several times, and
has told Gen. Eisenhower, that
he would resign when the Pres
ident is ready to name a sue
ceSsor. Both MIR. Camalier and
Mr.. Donohue were appointed by
former President Truman.

A challenge of the assement
procedures in Maryland. if up
held by the Montgomery County
Appeals Tax Court, could force
reassessment of the entire
county.
The attack on the Statewide
program-and more specifically,
assessment procedures in the
county-has been made by Attor-
ney James P Parker Of 5113
Dalecarlia drive, Westmoreland
Hills, Md.
Mr.. Parker. in a 35-page brief
on Wednesday began his assault
on State Tax Commission. The
hearing before the county tax
court, however, was continued
because of its length until April
/. His brief will be answered by
the county attorneys Office.
Mr.. Parker's attack was part
of his protest of the assessment
of his own house and land, set at
$40, 400, some 20 per cent above
the value put on it when built in
1850.
League Statistics Presented.
The attorneys brief. however,
presented statistics and argu-
ments of the Homeowners Tax
League. Inc, of which he is a
founder. The league was formed
last year as residents united to
fight assessment increases rang
ing up to more than 100 per
cent.

He also charged the tax COM
mission had failed to file its
rules and regulations in printed
form with the clerk Of the State
Court of Appeals and the De-
partment of Legislative Refer
ence, as required by law.
Suppressed by Timing.
Mr.. Parker said he had been
led to believe his home would not
be reaSSessed until 1855. The
county. however, has divided
property into five classes or divi-
sions and assesses each class
once every five years. The sub
urban residential area, last as
sessed in 1913, is being reassessed
again this year.
Mr.. Parker has an appeal
pending in Circuit Court. which
he filed to the State Tax Com
missions ruling last December,
upholding the previous assess
ment on his property.
The attorney presented a
number of cases he said were
taken at random and which lob
viously present a prima facie
case Of irregularity and lack of
uniformity" in the Bethesda
area.
He cited examples of land as

Lawmakers Flooded
With Arguments on
Ocean Beach Bridge
BY the Asseciosed Press

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 20.-The
House Ways and Means Com
mittee today was swimming out
of a mass Of unsolicited advice
and literature favoring approval
of a bridge across Sinepuxent
Bay from Worcester County to
ASsateague Island.
The Ocean Bridge Corp, a
private concern made up prin-
cipally of Washington hackers,
wants to get permission to con-
struct span across the 5000
feet of water to join the main
land with a new real estate
development on the elongated
island.
Hanna Attacks Project.
A bill granting that permission
to the concern was attacked by
Delegate Hanna. Democrat, of
Wicomico at a hearing of the
committee last week as a "per-
petration of a fraud" He con-
tended the real estate forces
behind the island project had
no intention of building the
bridge but wanted to advertise
the franchise as an inducement
to sell more lots.
That brought proponents of
the island resort out in force.
Leon Alderman, president of the
concern and principal owner of
the island, came over from
Washington. armed with stacks
Of letters and literature to dis
prove his group was fathering a
ruSe.
In a letter to the committee.
MIR. Alderman said: mot one
single lot has been sold at Ocean
Beach on the basis of a bridge
or any single proposed improve
ment or feature of development.
THE principal portion of the
Ocean Beach selling job has al
ready been done. A1bridge fran
chise is not necessary as device
or a stratagem for selling the
balance of the property still open
for acquisition"
The only transportation pres
emily between the mainland and
the island is a small ferry that
carries maximum of three cars
a trip.
