Dixon-Yates Power
Showdown Sought
Before Election
Administration Seeks
Speedy Review of Plan
To Tie Firm to IVA
By the Associated Press

The Eisenhower administra-
tion showed signs today Of press
ing for a prediction showdown
on it's politically touchy plan to
feed private power into lines Of
the Tennessee Valley Authority.
Calling yesterday for a review
by the Senate House Atomic En-
ergy Committee of the plan, it
asked for the waiver of a legal
provision which would keep the
contract from taking effect be-
fore next year unless the COM
mittee okays an earlier date.
Opponents Of the plan, known
as the Dixon-Yates contract,
raised new protests of Skull
duggery" and "scandalous."
Reports circulated yesterday
that the contract had been ap-
proved. An aide said Senator
Fulbright, Democrat, of Arkan-
sas had received word to that
effect. The Atomic Energy Com
mission (AEC), Government
partner in the proposed deal,
said only the contract "has not
been signed"
At the Summer White House in
Denver, Assistant Presidential
Press Secretary Murray Snyder
said "We know nothing about
it,"
Demands Answer.
Senator LANCER, Republican,
of North Dakota, chairman of a
Senate Anti-Monopoly subcom-
mittee which has been looking
into some aspects of the pro-
posal, demanded to know from
the Acc by mid-afternoon
whether the contract has been
approved "in any manner
whatsoever"
Senator Langer's subcommit-
tee, calling more witnesses to an
afternoon hearing, sent a letter
to Acc Chairman Lewis L.
Strauss saying, 1--WE deem it
highly improper for the Govern
ment to enter into a contract
while this investigation is un-
resolved"
Only two subcommittee men,
bers, Senators LANCER and Ke-
fauver, Democrat, Of Tennessee,
have been active at the hearings,
Both oppose the Dixon-Yates
contract.
Representative Cole, Republi-
can, of New York, announced the
Atomic Energy Committee, which
he heads, will open a public ex-
ploration of the contracts terms,
probably starting next Wednes-
day.
Directed by President.
Gen. Eisenhower has directed
Acc to negotiate a contract with

Citym Georgia Has
Sufficient Income,
Drops Realty Tax
By the Assoeioted Press

GRIFFIN, Ga, Oct. THE
old wheeze about the certainty
Of taxes and death isn't appli-
cable here in every respect.
City taxes have been removed
from real estate for 1855 by the
city commissioners. They de-
cided there would be ample
funds available without levying
the customary 4-mill taxes on
property. Griffin, 40 miles south
Of Atlanta, has a population of
$4,000.
The commissioners found they
would be able to pay for city
operations for next year from
city-operated water and light de-
partments, business licenses, po-
lice fines, parking meters, &C

Col. Peters said he was on a

Mendes-France Tells

Controls on German
Arms Cited Along With
French Veto Power
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Oct. French Pre-
mier Pierre Mendes-F France told
the French National Assembly
today he has no further objection
to the entry of West Germany
into the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization.
His attitude, he said, is due
to the controls on German re-
armament set up at the recent
nine-nation London conference.
1--WE will have a Veto" he said,
ION any increase Of forces on
the Continent, including those of
Germany. beyond those indicated
in the initial figures"
The London conference set a
level of IL divisions for the West
German army.
No Armed Reunification.
Many Frenchmen have ex-
pressed fear that a rearmed
Germany would bring atomic war
down on the heads of Europeans
by trying to reunite with Com
nunist-occupied Eastern Ger
many by force. Mr.. Mendes-
France told the deputies West
Germany had promised not to do
this and the Western Big Three
had agreed to deprive Germany
Of aid and support if it tried to
do so.
On the disputed question of the
Saar border territory, Mr.
Mendes-France said:
"I did not conceal the position
taken by all French governments
and the National Assembly un-
der which there must be a Saal
solution no later than the other
settlements which we discussed
Before the whole is submitted
for ratification there will have
to be a precise and satisfactory
settlement on the Saar with
Germany"

saying the allies of France al.

to happen, he asked, without

He said he understood th'
feeling that any German re-
armament is bad.

not be indefinitely forbidden tt

He promised careful consid

Tax Action Seen
On 'WindfaIIs'
By Builders
Fighting Chance
Cited by Andrews
At Senute Probe
By Froncis P. Douglas

Internal Revenue CommiS-
sioner T. Coleman Andrews said
today he believes the Govern
ment has a fighting chance" to
collect income taxes on the So
called "windfalls" realized by
builders of rental housing with
Government-insured mortgages.
Mr.. Andrews was called before
the Senate Banking Committee
to discuss what the Internal Rev.
enue Service can do in the many
cases in which builders realizing
windfall profits have sought to
treat them as capital gains rather
than as income. Capital gains
are taxed at 26 per cent, for
merly 25 per cent, while income
taxes may run to three times
that rate.
It has been estimated the
windfallS in the Government
fostered building projects would
amount to about $500 million.
FHA Rights Questioned.
It was brought out also today
that the Mortgage Bankers As
sociation sent letter to its 1000
members questioning the right
of the Federal Housing Admin
istration to call for data on ac-
tual costs of rental projects.
FILA has sent out 6,430 ques-
tionnaires to builders of Section
608 projects in which the Gov
ernment guaranteed mortgages
up to 80 per cent of estimated
costs.
Frank j. Meistrell, general
counsel of the FHA, said only
1851 of the questionnaires have
been completed and returned and
that no reply has been received
from 4,068 of the companies to
which questionnaires were sent.
Mr.. Andrews testified that
1,150 Section 608 cases had been
listed in which sponsors had de-
clared dividends out of mortgage
money remaining after projects
were completed. He added there
might be several hundred more
such cases and Committee
Chairman Capehart said he be-
lieved the additional cases would
run into thousands.
Court Decision Awaited.
It has been brought out that
a number of corporations have
been delaying distribution of
such moneys until there is a
Tax Court decision in what is
referred to as the Gross case
originating from Long Island.
This involves $4.5 million of
windfall profits which were ois-
tributed as capital gains.
IF the Tax Court sustains us
we will recover a substantial
amount" Mr.. Andrews said. I'VE
would also apply such a decision
to other cases."
He was asked about a some
what similar case involving six
corporations which built the
S13.5 million Shirley-Duke prof.
ect in nearby Virginia.
Committee Counsel William
Simon said the six corporations
had $2,250.000 to distribute and
that one of the corporations got
a ruling permitting the dividends
to be taxed as capital gains.
Mr.. Andrews said he did not
see how that ruling could be re-
versed but that in connection
with the other five corporations
he believed that income should
not be taxed as capital gains.
Mr.. Simon outlined a number
of methods by which he said

Owen baltimore
Reindicted in
PeriuryCase
Called Promoter
Of Communism in
One Of Two Counts
By Howard L. Dutkin

A Federal grand jury today ac-
cused owen baltimore OF having
been "a follower of the Commu-
mist line" and a promoter Of
Communist interests"
The jury, in returning a two
count perjury indictment against
the former State Department
consultant, charged:
1. He lied to Senate probers
when he denied he was a fol-
lower of the Communist Party
line.
2. He lied when he denied that
he had been a promoter OF
Communist interests"
This is the second indictment
now lodged against Mr.. Latti-
more on perjury charges.
Today's indictment pointed to
a list of books and magazines ar
ticles written by Mr.. baltimore
to back up the accusations.
It stated that when Mr.. Lat
timore denied having followed
the party line, it was tanta-
mount to his saying that lin his
expressed positions and policies
as to political, diplomatic, mill
tary, economic and social mat
tiers he had never knowingly ana

conformed to .. the policies ex-
pressed by the government
of the Soviet Union" and the
Communist Party.
Cites Hundreds of Instances.
But, the indictment charged,
Mr.. Lattimore's conversations,
statements and writings revealed
several hundred instances de-
noting that the defendant was a
follower of the Communist
line"
The instances" according to
the indictment, were Mr.. Latti-
more's expressed views, as in
terpreted by the Government,
on the following TOPICS:
/. The Marxist system is ad-
mired for its progress and ac-
complishments.
2. The Soviet Union is demo-
cratic.
3. The Soviets fully accord
equal rights to all minorities.
4. The Soviet collective system
benefits the individual.
A total of 81 other topics"
were listed which purported to
show the defendants link to the
Communist line. The indict-
ment contained page and chap
ter citations of certain of Mr..
Lattimore's writings on the va
rious topics as interpreted by the
Government.
The indictment defined pro-
moter" of Communist interests
as one who Intentionally con-
tributes ito the growth. enlarge
ment and prosperity of COM
munism by acting to further
those objectives of political,
diplomatic, military, economic
and social interest" of the Soviet
and the Communist Party.
Accused AS Propaganda.
The true bill charged that Mr..
baltimore promoted Red inter-
ests by, among other things, dis
seminating Communist propa-
ganda.
In addition, it asserted that
as editor of Pacific Affairs" a
journal of the Institution Of
Pacific Relations. a private re-
search organization, he prevent
ed publication of articles in the
journal by authors when he
learned such persons were con-
sidered by Soviet Communists
to be anti-Soviet."
1t was also alleged he caused
to be published in the magazine
"Amerasia" Communist-line ar
ticles by Communist writer
on China. The indictment said

The United States Court of

The split decision upheld a

Judge Alexander Holtzoff.
In its opinion, the court cited
an act of Congress which pro-

appeal will have to wait until
his Office can consider the Bull
lock decision and for determine
ton of the Commissioners de-
SireS.
Three courses are open, he
said-to accept the decision, to
ask for a hearing by the full,
nine-man appeals bench or to
appeal to the Supreme Court.
Mr.. Bullock had been sus-
pended from the police force
after his indictment on gambling
conspiracy charges in connec-
ton with the Charles E. Nelson
gambling syndicate in 1851.
He won a directed verdict of
acquittal at the trial and was
restored to duty. He applied for
retirement on February II. 1852,
on the grounds of Is years of
service and of having reached
the age of SIS.
Says He Was Qualified.
The court pointed out that
Mr.. Bullock was in active service
when he applied for retirement
and was qualified on age and
length of service.
"The words may, at his elec-
lion, be retired are equivalent to
may elect to be retired" the
court stated. It continued, "Since
Congress was offering an 'elec-

To say that a policeman may at
his election be retired is not to
say that after he has made his

While Mr.. Bullock's retirement
was being considered, he was sus-
