that group. there are eight Re-
publicans and four Democrats.
The Speaker told one question
er, however, that he felt sure he
could not get 218 signatures to
a petition to discharge the Ways
and Means Committee from con-
sideration of the tax bill. In
theory. that would be another
way of forcing the bill to a House
vote.
Asked if there was any hope
that Representative Reed would
reverse his position. the Speaker
laughingly quoted: while the
light holds out to burn. the vilest
sinner may return"
Democratic Aid Assured.
Mr.. Martin also said he had
had widespread assurance of
support from Democratic sources
if the tax bill gets to the House
hoor. He said that if it din't
pass there then. the Democrats
would be responsible.
When a reporter wanted to
know how a minority could be
responsible for majority legisla-
ton, Mr.. Martin said 95 per cent
of the Republicans in the closely
divided House were going to sup
port the legislation if they had
the opportunity.
1t was learned that Mr.. Reed
moved to cancel scheduled meet
ings of his committee after
learning that two bills to
extend the excess profits levy
were introduced in the House
and referred to Ways and Means
late yesterday.
The chairman repeatedly told
some of the Democratic men,
bers that he was calling off the
hearings for a few days because
so many of the committee men,
bers were hard pressed by other
congressional business.
Until today there had been no
excess-profitS tax extension bill
formally before the committee.
This is not unusual in such tax
legislation because the commit
tee, after hearings and study,
frequently drafts bills of its own
and reports them out to the
House.

Reorganization Plan
For Pentagon Faces
House Test Today
BY the Assoeiated Pres.

President Eisenhower faced a
showdown with the House today
over his plan of reorganization
for the Defense Department.
"Prussian totalitarianism" was
the label affixed by some House
members to that portion of the
plan which would increase the
authority of the chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff. Gen
Eisenhower has defended the
plan as one promising greater eff
'f1ciency.
The Government Operations
Committee was called into SeS-
sion to vote on a veto resolution
to kill the entire plan. House
leaders yesterday blocked efforts
of the committee to amend it.
Effective Monday.
Chairman Hoffman called the
committee into action after an
nouncing that the Republican
leadership had refused him hear
ings by the Rules Committee on
two bills to strike the controver-
Sial portions from the plan.
The defense reorganization
takes effect next Monday unless
vetoed by either House or Senate.
Under the law, reorganization
plans sent to Congress by the
President take effect after so
days unless disapproved by a ma
jority of either house. They
cannot be amended and must be
rejected or accepted in entirety.
In a maneuver to get around
the all-or- nothing provision of
the law, a majority of the Gov
ernment Operations Committee
approved bills by Mr.. Hoffman
and Representative Condor,
Democrat of California, which
would have had the effect of
enacting the plan without the
offending sections.
Hoffman Seeks Veto.
These bills technically are
routine legislation. however, re-
quiring passage by both House
and Senate and signing by the
President. They also had to be
cleared by the House Rules Com
mittee to get before the House.
When the Rules Committee re-
fused yesterday to grant Mr..
Hoffman a hearing - thereby
blocking them from House con-
Sideration-Mr. Hoffman an
nounced he would seek commit
tee approval of a veto resolution.
The effect of this maneuver
was to get the plan before the
House for a vote.

Inventor Hears Attack.
Senator Smathers, Democrat
of Florida, led DR.. Astin through
a devastating attack on the ad-
ditive while the inventor, Jess M
Ritchie, and his wife watched
from seats in the spectator gal
lerieS.
Senator Smathers asked DR..
Astin to comment on the volu-
minous testimonials which Mr..
Ritchie has received from salts
fed users of AD-X2 which is
sold to prolong the life of stor-
age batteries.
Its easy to make people be-
lieve that hair restorers work, "
Or. Astin replied.
DR.. Astin continued that most
batteries that motorists throw
away as useless actually have
some life left in them. He said
that "just for the fun of it" some
Of his staff bought useless old
batteries from service stations
and put them in their automo-
biles without treatment of any
kind.
las I recall it, the first failure
Of a battery was after six
months" DR.. AStin said.
He said that If the batteries
had been reconditioned like they
would have been before receiving
a treatment of AD-X2, they
probably would have lasted even
longer and AD-X2 would have
received the credit.
DR.. Astin said there was nc
reason for claiming that the con-
tents of AD-X2 was a mystery
because the Bureau of Standards
daily makes chemical analyses OF
such materials and knows every
thing that is in AD-X2 in a con-
centration OF five parts per
million.
Harm Is Negligible.
Committee Chairman Thye OF
Minnesota asked DR.. Astin about
press report that DR.. Astin feels
AD-X2 is slightly harmful. DR.
Astin replied:

tionS show that AD-X2 is detri-

Under further questioning, DR..
Astin said AD-X2 caused a
trivial" detriment to batteries
and was slightly harmful"
Senator Thye said yesterday
that II can't get as much conf
dence out of the bureaus tests
as out of the results of business
men who have bought AD-X2
over a period of years."
Today DR.. Astin volunteered:
Some people think labora-
tory test is theoretical and a
test in the field is practical.

last night by the board chairman
of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored
People.
DR.. Charming H. Tobias of
New York. in a keynote address
before the opening session of a
six-day meeting here, said:
"As Nation we have come a
long way since the Emancipation
Proclamation of January /. 1863,
but no truthful American can
assert that the goal has been
reached.
ITO that end I propose that in
this convention we formulate a
10-year program of intensified
effort to complete the job of
emancipation, so that on the
centennial of the Emancipation
Proclamation we can truthfully
say the job is DONE"
DR.. Tobias said a fighting
fund for freedom" will be a fea-
ture of the program. He said
every loyal American" will be
asked to give the program his
support.
He said later the fund will be
