A five-week recess began for
the Supreme Court today in the
wake of unanimous decisions on
most remaining cases argued
since October But action on
several pending issues of a more
controversial nature was post
poned, presumably until a ninth
Justice is confirmed.
In a wide range of rulings
yesterday at its busiest session
of the term thus far, the court
strengthened the Federal Gov
eminent in prosecuting tax eva
sion cases and upheld the
National Labor Relations Boards
view on duration Of union repre-
sentation as bargaining agent.
At the same time, however.
the court struck down an Illinois
contention that interstate truck
ers could be kept off State high
ways because of repeated traf-
fic violations. The tribunal or
dered a Texas court hearing to
determine whether a man. Serv-
ing a life sentence since 1941,
was insane when convicted at
one-day trial without benefit
of counsel. And the court also
reversed the rape conviction of
a Florida Negro who complained
his confession was forced and
that Negroes were excluded from
the jury.
Meets Again Jan. 10.
The court announced it will
meet again January 10 to hand
down decisions but will hear no
further cases on oral argument
until January 81. It accepted
for review early next year cases
involving such varied questions
as the validity of "one-man
grand juries" and compulsory
blood tests to determine whether
motorists are intoxicated. s.
The blood test case originated
in California where a motorist
complained his constitutional
rights were violated when DO
lice forcibly took a sample of
his blood and ultimately OBJ
tanned his conviction.
The "one-man grand jury"
investigative issue involves a
Michigan law enacted in 1917.
Its operation received Nation

First Complete Break.
Senator Mccarthy has been
critical of the Eisenhower ad-
ministration in the past and the
President has indicated disap-
prevail Of some of the Wisconsin
Senator's actions as an investi-
gator. But this is the first time
Senator Mccarthy has indicated
a complete break with the White
House.
Senator Mundt, Republican,
Of South Dakota presided at the
hearing today, which was on
alleged Communist infiltration
of defense plants in the Lehigh
Valley section of Pennsylvania.
Senator Mccarthy was present
for about a half hour and then
left presumably to prepare the
attack on the President he was
to deliver later. After reading
the statement he left the hearing
finally, complaining that his in
fected elbow that had caused q
To-day recess in the Senate CEN
sure debate was still paining him.
Senator Potter. Republican, of
Michigan was the only other
member of the seven-man in
vestigating subcommittee who
was present.
Hear UndercOver Man.
The Mccarthy subcommittee
heard testimony of Communist
inf1ltration of the Bethlehem
Steel Co. plant at Bethlehem,
Pa. from Herman E. Thomas,
a former undercover member of
the Communist Party for the
FBI.
Mr.. Thomas, now in business
for himself in Allentown, Pa,
formerly was employed by Beth
lehem Steel. He identified two
Bethlehem employees who were
in the hearing room as having
worked with him in a Com
munist group from 1914 until
May of this year. The two were
Joseph Picucci, a mechanical re-
pair man, and John Szabo, an
employe OF the steel plant beam
yard.
Both Mr.. Picucci, born in
Italy, and Mr.. Szabo, born in
Hungary, took the Fifth Amend
ment when questioned by the
committee about their alleged
Communist Party connections.
oBt hsaid they were naturalized
citizens.
Seek to Fire Both.
After the two had refused to
answer repeated questions about
their alleged Communist Party
connections, Senator Mundt said
that testimony would be sent to
the Bethlehem Steel Co. and to
Secretary Of Defense Wilson with
instructions that they be dis
charged from their jobs.
Senator Mundt said also that
the testimony would be sent to
the Commission of immigration
to determine whether deporta-
ton proceedings should be insti-
tuted against the two.
Mr.. Thomas was a key witness
in the conviction last May for
violation of the Smith Act of
nine Communist leaders of the
Philadelphia area. He said that
he was member of the Com
Party on his own from
1887 to 1899. He rejoined the
group in 1914 at the SUGGESTION |

OF the FBI and remained a men,
Der until early this year.
He testified that Mr.. Piccucci
and Szabo brought information
about work being done at the
Bethlehem plant to various local
Communist Party meetings for
transmission to what he called
the national commission" of the
party.

5 Finance Concerns
Held Ready 10 Back
Dixon afesC Combine
By Joseph A. Fox

The Securities and Exchange
Commission was told today that
two Of the country's major in
surance concerns and three New
York banking institutions are
prepared to furnish the bulk of
the capital needed to put the
Dlxon-Yates power syndicate in
business in the Tennessee Valley.
AS the syndicate-formed by
Middle South Utilities and the
Southern Co.-came before the
commission to get approval for
It's proposed new operating af-
flliate, the Mississippi Valley
Generating Co., Edgar H. Yates,
Mississippi Valley president, said
the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Co. would be the biggest lender
and the New York Life Insurance
Co. the next largest.
The company projects the is
suance of $77,362,0 900 in bonds,
OF which Metropolitan would
buy $64,873.00O and New York
Life $12,489, 900.
Total Loan Near 500 Million.
There will also be bank in
debtedness of $22,553, 900. bring
ing the total borrowings to $99,-
$4,000. The banks taking part
IN the operation, Mr.. Dixon said,
are Chase National, $8,119,00O
Hanover, "$5,413,000, and Irving
Trust, $3,157,000. The remainder
OF the bank indebtedness, S.
1854, 900, will be absorbed by other
institutions in New York and the
South. The bank notes will bear
3A per cent interest.
The total borrowings, Mr..
Dixon said, may eventually reach
$500 million.
In addition to the borrowed
capital, Middle South and South
ern will furnish $5.5 million to
be represented by common stock
in Mississippi Valley Generating
which they will own.
The syndicate plans to build
a $107 million steam plant at
West Memphis, Ark, to channel
power into iva territory at
Memphis to replace IVA power
being used by the Atomic Energy
Commission.
40 Appear Against. {
Representatives of more than
40 protestants were on hand for
the SEC hearing to argue against
approval of the project, which
has drawn the fire of public
power advocates everywhere
and the Democratic Party.
The hearing is to determine if
the proposed tieup of the two big
utility holding companies is
within the bounds of the Hold
Ing Company Act. In the pres
emit proceedings, the syndicate is
seeking only approval of the
common stock issue and will
come in later with full details
OF the lending program.
Mr.. Dixon told the commission
that the bonds, to carry a rate
of 35s per cent, will be retired
in 80 years, and the bank in
debtedness in 10 years.
Mr.. Dixon said: This is a
risk contract in which Mississippi
Valley has an incentive to do
the best job it can because of the |
fact if it fails to perform as esti- /
its prospective profits can
be- invaded or even eliminated |
and if it does a better job then |
estimated, it can make an addi-
tional, but limited, profit over
and above that estimated"
The Dixon-Yates project has |

hover, who turned to the pri-
vate utilities for additional pow
er for the Atomic Energy Com

SEGREGATION BIGGEST PROBLEM
in so. AFRICA, SAYS CHURCHNlAN

/ NEW YORK - Segregation is
the most pressing problem in
that country according to the
Rev. Martin Jarrett-Kerr.
Writing in the current issue
of the Episcopal Churchnews,
the priest asserted that the
dominant National Party of
of Prime Minister Malan is
aiming at the maximum seq
regation that is practical"

pay Churchnews says, "the Ma
tionalist Party is bound to fail"
But in the meantime, some
violence is bound to occur.
The most dangerous piece of
pro-segregation legislation, &C
cording to the priest, is the
So-called Bantu Education Bill
passed last year. The man who
presented it made no attempt
to conceal the fact that it was
designed to fit the native for
his subordinate place in society"
The bill provides for facilities

TEXT OF REV. LAVESCCUNT

OUR GOD is A GREAT GOD"
So said the Psalmist over
$500 years ago. If God to the
ancient Hebrews in their pri-
mitive state, limited vision and
crude ways, was a great God,
to us today, because of the
increased knowledge of our
physical universe as revealed
to us by science, and in the
light of the life and teachings
Of Jesus, ours is a great God
indeed! Our Concept of God
ought to get bigger and bigger
as our horizons expand.
The Bible is a record of a
progressive revelation of God
to man in the life and history
Of the Jewish people. They be-
gan with a local, tribal deity;
they ended with a universal
God. They began in gross ma
terialism; they ended with an
exalted spirituality. They began
