and inventive development, and
because high tax rates slow down
expansion by making it difficult
for new business to get the
money it needs to start, and for
old business to grow.
During the next ten years, Mr..
GreeneWalt estimates that indus
try must have $3.50 billion of new
capital if we are to continue to
improve our living standards.
Under present tax laws he feels
that industry will not have this
necessary amount made available
to it.
Exploding the popular fallacy
that heavy tax impoStS on indus
try are essential to financing the
Federal Government, the du Pont
President cited some interesting
and revealing statistics. Money
raised by SurtaX rates above so
per cent is less than l5 per cent
of Federal Tax revenues. Gift
and inheritance taxes together
also bring in less than 1.5 per
cent while the entire collection
from capital gains nets around
lis per cent. The total revenue
from these three sources amounts
to less than AS per cent of the
total tax take - high price if
the cost is reduced initiative and
investors reluctance to provide
risk capital.
Mr.. GreeneWalt pointed out
that a new tax program would
be especially beneficial to small
| business. Large enterprises seem
to have no great difficulty in
igetting money for additions, but

are out in the cold and it is il
this area that one finds not only

IN MEMORY

In memory Of Hugh James
Stevens who departed this life
on May II, 1912.
The blow was great, the shock
severe,
We little thought the end was
near,
And only those who have lost
can tell
The pain of parting, without
farewell
In our hearts, just a memory
AS each day comes and each
day goes
How we miss you, God only
knows.
Sadly missed by: Mother,
Alice Bettinger, Casper,
Ivan and Carman Stevens.

Wanted Man
Found Dead
In Germany

LONDON TIA smuagler who
once stood trial for his own moth.
er's murder has been added to the
list of the dead in London's bizarre
case of murder in the old folks
home.
But unlike the pseudo lady"
and her alcoholic daughter who
were the recent victims, the un-
savory gentleman apparently died
Ia suicide. He was the daughters
husband:
The body of Ronald J. Chesney,
45-year-old torpedo boat command
|er in the Royal Navy during World
War II and later a convicted SNUG
gler, was found shot through the
head yesterday in woods outside
Cologne, Germany. Police said he
took his own life.
He had been sought by Scotland
Yard throughout Europe and in the
African port of Tangier since the
discovery last Thursday of two
bodies in an old peoples home in
suburban Ealing-those of his wife,
Mrs. Isobel Chesney, AZ, and her
aged mother, Mrs. Mary Menzies.
Mrs. Chesney, possessor of a
large cache of empty gin and
|whiskey bottles, had been drowned
lin her own bathtub. Her mother
who affected but didn't own the
title Lady Menzies"-had been
bludgeoned and strangled.
Police, investigation of Chesney's
background revealed that under
his real name, John Donald Mer-
rett, he was tried at Edinburgh in
1927 for the murder of his mother,
Mrs. Bertha Merrett. The jury re-
turned verdict of mot proven"
Mrs. Merrett, IS, was shot
through the head with a pistol in
her living room in 1926. Her son,
then IS, told police she shot herself
in his presence.
He was arrested after detectives
learned he had forged her sigma
ture on Sc checks. Though freed
on the murder charge, he was con-
victed of forgery and served a
year in jail.
When he got out, he changed
his name to Ronald John Chesney.
He also used the name John
Donald Miner, which was. on the
passport he carried when his body
was found.
Chesney and Mrs. Menzies'
daughter were married in 1928,
when she was II.
Chesney was captured by the
Italians during the war, but es-
capped and made his way back to
England.
After the war Chesney turned to
theft and smuggling and ran up a
long police record in England and
on the continent.

New Squeeze On
Korea Disturbs
Big 4 Farley

BERLIN Up - A new Soviet
squeeze play on Korea and the

Big Four Berlin conference today.

lister Bidault to ask his Paris gov
eminent for new instructions.
The nature of the new Russian
move was not disclosed. II &C.
Cured in the fifth secret meeting
of the foreign ministers at the So
Wet Embassy this morning.
Bidault, very perturbed" when
the meeting broke up, asked his
government for guidance, an of.
fetal source disclosed.
The Big Four were comforting
in secret primarily about Soviet
Foreign Minister v. NJ. Molotov's
resolution for a Big Five parley,
including Red China. The West has
refused to admit the Peiping gov
Iernment as a great power in such
talks but comedies it should sit
around the same table as other
powers when specific Asiatic sub.
jects come up.
The aim of the West was to get
MolotOv to use his influence to re.
Iyive the stalled Korean peace talks
first of all. The principal goal OF
the French, however, is to do
something about ending the Indo.
chinese War. If Molotov has def.
nitely consented to interceding in
lndochina in exchange for full re.
cognition for Peipig, Bidault may
have been put in an extremely
difficult position.
