Broyhi|I Offers Plan
For Jones Point Span
Ramp al Alexandra

Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican, of Virginia, has sug-
gested that a ramp linking the
proposed Jones Point bridge to
Mount Vernon Memorial high
way might be routed around a
motel slated for that area.
His suggestion follows an
Alexandria City Council vote to
authorize construction Of the
motel in the Alexandria block
bounded by South Washington,
Church and South Columbus
streets.
The action caused concern
among area planners because
tentative plans for the river
crossing show that block as the
site for a cutoff from the main
bridge approach to the Mount
Vernon roadway. City officials
said the bridge project is so un-
certain they did not want to buy
the motel site at this time and
did not feel they could delay
private construction indefinitely.
After consulting with National
Capital Planning Commission
officials yesterday, Mr.. Broyhill
said it would be feasible" to
extend the bridge ramp in a
wider circle around the motel
property.
He warned, however, that this
might be Objectionable to owners
of both the motel and other sur
rounding property. In addition,
he said, it would be more costly
because size of the ramp would
be larger.
Alexandria Mayor Marshall
Beverley, meanwhile, said he
intends to ask the city council
on October 27 to request owners
of the motel property to hold off
until the first of the year. BY
that time, he said, he hopes the
city will have more definite
idea about whether the Jones
Point bridge will be built and
what land will be needed for it.

GIs Staying With Reds
Ask Christmas Trees
BY the Associated Press

PANMUNJOM, Dec. 8.-Amer-
ican prisoners of war who did
not return home plan to cele-
brate Christmas with decorated
trees and holiday delicacies.
An Indian officer said tonight
the Americans have asked the
Indian Red Cross to get them
trees, decorations and Christmas
delicacies such as candy, nuts
and cake.
The officer said some Christian
Chinese and Korean prisoners
also have asked permission to
observe Christmas.
He said the Americans asked
for trees two days ago. 1t is
up to the Communists to supply
the prisoners with Christmas
wants.
The Communists presumably
will agree to provide the %
American prisoners with Christ
mas trees and other materials.
The United Nations command
will do the same for Christian
Chinese and North Koreans who
have refused to return to the

cial at Macy's said. "Our sales

to prove it,"
What are the figures?

not giving out that information. "
Both Bloomingdales and Gim-
bells reported business good" A
man at Lord & Taylor simply
walked out of his Office and
pointed to counters crowded with
shoppers.
A woman from Queens in one
of the stores said she had
stopped there because it was
near the route into town. She
admitted that she might have
gone to another store had she
been able to peruse newspaper
ads and seen all of the offerings.
Argument Overruled.
A male shopper said he and
his wife had drawn $3.50 In
Christmas savings and they were
going tC spend it all. He saic
wryly thai he had used the alb
Sence of newspaper advertise
ments as an argument for "hold-
ing a little back" But, he added
II didn't get away with that
Certainly a trip through some
of the stores yesterday didn't
bear out earlier reports that New
York merchants were in for ar
awful financial beating and the
city in for possible economic ca
tastrophe because of their in
ability to advertise the huge
stocks of Christmas merchan-
disc. The stores were crowded
and there seemed to be at least
the normal number of women
shoppers showing you around.
The strike obviously has hurt
the city economically in other
ways. The 400 members of the
striking AFL Photo Engravers
Union and the $4,000 members
of other unions supporting the
strike by refusal to cross picket
lines, are not getting their regu-
lar pay. Some are not getting
paid at all. But the engravers
are not starving on $40 weekly
strike benefits. And members of
the New York Newspaper Guild,
the largest union involved, are
receiving $50 a week, plus $40
for a wife and the same amount
for each dependent.
Newspapers Are Losing.
The newspapers are taking q
beating because this is the time
they have the largest volume of
ADVERTISING and they are still
maintaining large payrolls, rep
resenting people who report to
work through the engravers
picket lines, and no revenue is
coming in. Just how much of a
beating they are taking depends
on the tax position of the in
dividual paper. The financially

come brackets will be able to pass

S,or S,uff CORRESPONDENT

NEW YORK, Dec. 8,The
11-day-old newspaper strike has
affected the life and economy of
this great city in various ways,
but store sales in the lush, pre-
Christmas season have suffered
little if at all.
People apparently have been
buying at about the same lively
clip they would have had the
stores been able to advertise
their wares in New York's seven
major daily papers. They may
not be buying at the places they
would have if there were ads
to follow, but they are buying
just the same. Six Of the papers
are shut down altogether, and
the seventh, the Herald Tribune,
carries no ads at this time.
Last week was the first full
week of the strike. A Federal
Reserve Bank check of .19 New
York department stores showed
that sales during the week at
those stores were 5 per cent un-
der the corresponding week of
1852. Sales in the week before
the strike at the same stores
were slightly more than 3 per
cent under last year. Retail
sales for the entire area, the
Federal Reserve predicted, would
hold up "very well.'
At Different Stores.
There were definite indications
that shoppers were buying at
different places and the stores
reported that people apparently
are having more difficulty in de-
Gliding just what to buy than in
other years when they had news
paper advertising to guide them.
The stores checked by the Fed
eral Reserve are in New York
City. Reports from outlying
areas indicate that Suburbanites
are doing more buying close to
home than in other years. This
is a probable result of two things
the absense of city newspaper
ads to pull them downtown
and the advertising, largely To-
cal, carried by "neighborhuod"
papers in WeStchester County
Long Island and other places,
which are unaffected by the
strike.
There was a marked slump in
store sales early last week and a
marked pick up late in the week.
This was attributed to the belief
that the newspapers would re-
sumo publication momentarily.
Shoppers were waiting to see
the ads. AS the strike was pro-
longed, they went ahead and
made their purchases any way.
Competition Keen.
There is powerful compe-
tition among New York's big
stores. They are reluctant to
give out any information that
might aid or comfort competi-
tor. That must be considered in
evaluating the comments that
follow.

Motion 10 Dismiss
KeIIam Tax Case
Weighed by Court

Federal Judge Albert v. Bryan
today had under advisement mo-
tions to dismiss part of the in
come tax evasion case against
Sidney S. Kellam, Virginia Demo-
cratic leader. and five other men.
Defense motions for dismissal
were argued before Judge Bryan
in Alexandria District Court yes
terday. Judge Bryan also heard
arguments on Government mo-
ton for consolidation of the three
indictments involved in the case.
Mr.. Kellam, who was Cover
nor-elect Thomas Stanley's cam
paig manager at the time of his
indictment in October, and four
other defendants are charged in
one indictment with income tax
evasion in connection with oper-
alton of the Beach Taxi Service,
Inc. at Virginia Beach. The
other four charged in the eva
sion indictment are w. Russell
Hatchett, former town manager
of Virginia Beach; w. F. Hudg-
ins, former clerk of the Princess
Anne Circuit Court; H. A. Holt,
Jr., former Virginia Beach town
councilman, and Frank L.
Gresham. operator of the taxi
cab service.
Accountant Also Accused.
The fifth defendant, Meyer L.
Goodman, Norfolk accountant,
is charged, in a separate indict-
ment. with aiding and abetting
the other four in the evasion of
income taxes. A third indict-
ment charges all six men with
conspiracy to evade income taxes.
The evasion indictment
charges that the taXicab firm
paid tax of $10,568.29 when it
should have paid $32,158.40 dur
ing the years of 1914 through
1947.
Defense attorneys argued that
the Government was barred by
the statute of limitations from
prosecuting any charges for 1914
through 1916. They contended
that the evasion case did not fall
within provisions of the Wartime
Suspensions Act, which permits
income tax prosecutions beyond
the usual six years.
Plot Charge Contested.
The defense attorneys also
asked for dismissal of the con-
spiracy indictment, arguing that
it was not possible to conspire
to evade taxes on income which
had not yet been collected at
the time the conspiracy was sup
posed to have taken place.
Attorneys William L. Parker,
Richard B. Kellam and D. A.
AdelaSto, all of Norfolk, repre-
sent all defendants except Mr..
Goodman.
Attorneys Louis and Max

Broudy, representing Mr.. Good
man, asked that their client be
given a separate trial. They said
he was involved only as the firm S
accountant. They said political
implications" had been raised
which might make it impossible
for their client to get a fair
and impartial trial jointly with
the other men.
United States Attorney L. S.
Parsons, jr., said similar circum-
stances were involved in all three
indictments and asked the court
to consolidate the case.
Judge Bryan has scheduled
trial for January 10.
