Colorado S Johnson
To Fight Plan 10 Save
Dividend Tax Break
BY ]. A. OIeorY

Senator Johnson, Democrat,
: of Colorado. served notice today
he will fight with every ounce
of energy" he has any move by
the conferees on the tax bill to
restore even a part of the re-
lief for recipients of dividend
income. The Senate version had
knocked out provision for stock
holders relief
He made the statement after
the conferees recessed for. the
week end without having tackled
the dividend controversy. Also
unsettled were:
The proposal to allow corpor-
atoms a tax rate on income
from foreign subsidiaries IA
percentage points lower than
the SO per cent rate on income
In this country.
The McCarran amendment to
deprive foundations of their tax
exempt status if they contribute
to subverSive organizations.
Rapid Progress Made.
Although the conferees made
rapid progress this week in set
ting hundreds of technical diff
ferences between the two Houses
in the big bill, which rewrites
the entire revenue code, there
was no indication how soon they
would settle the troublesome
dividend issue.
The House voted to allow
individuals the first year $50
deduction from dividend income
and credit of per cent against
the remainder. of such income.
Thereafter the deduction would
haye been 500 with a 10 per
cent credit against the remain
der.
The Senate approved only the
fat $50 deduction, and Senator
johnson said he would try to
block any compromise that
would restore even one-half of
one per cent of the credit pro-
vision.
The Colorado Democrat said
his objection is not to the prin-
ciple of eliminating some of the
double taxation on dividend in
come, but is based on his belief
that the Treasury cannot afford
1t at this time.
Compromise Sought.
One suggestion heard today
was that the conferees might try
to agree on something more lib
eral than the Senate $50 deduc-
ton. but make it effective at
some later date.
No time was fixed for another
conference and there may not
be one before Tuesday.
The conferees were reported
to have agreed yesterday on the
Senate's more liberal baby-sitter
deduction for working mothers.
The Senate allowed the $500
deductions to all working moth
ers provided the combined in
come did not exceed $4,000. The
House had limited the deduction
to wiows and widowers working
to support children.

weakest aspect of our national
defense today is the low rate of
re-enlistments in our armed
forces"
The President pointed out that
the increased re-enlistment
bonuses are part of broad pro-
gram including more adequate
family housing and medical care
for dependents of military per-
sonnet which has been recon-
mended by the Defense Depart
ment.
To the extent that such bene-
fits encourage individuals to re-
main in the service" he said,
1.-The increased cost resulting
from them will. in my opinion,
be more than Offset by savings
in the high cost in training re-
placements. Even more i'm
portant. we will have a more
effective national defense"

Three Killed, One Injured,
Fireworks Plant Wrecked
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO. July l7.-Three
men were killed and one was
injured yesterday in series of
blasts which wrecked a one-story
fireworks factory.
The explosions rocked the
suburb Of Schiller Park, just west
of Chicago. Edward j. Borg,
Schiller Park police chief, esti-
mated damage to the Melrose
Fireworks Co. building at $40, 900.
He identified the dead as
Anthony Guarino, owner of the
plant, and two employees, Frank
Piconi and Mike Cartalano.
The injured man, whose con-
dition was described at Resur-
rection Hospital as serious but
probably not critical, is Mario
Ragona, IS.
Chief Borg said the cause of
the explosions has not been
determined.

removed from it in 1853 either,
and that there was, therefore,
no need to comply with the
Lloyd-LaFollette Act in remov-
ing him from the position he
held in 1858.
This is a paradox. Roth was
once in the classified civil service,
did not leave it voluntarily and
is now out of it. 1t follows that
he was removed from it. We
think he was removed from it
in 1858. But whether he was
removed from it in 1947 or in
1858, there was no compliance
with the Lloyd-LaFollette Act.
Neither the formula of except
ing the kind of position per-
son holds, nor any other formula.
can obviate the requirement of
the Lloyd-LaFollette Act that
No person in the classified civil
service of the United States shall
be removed :. therefrom' with
out notice and reasons given in
writing. The power of Congress
thus to limit the Presidents
otherwise plenary control over
appointments and removals is
clear.
1T is immaterial here that
the President has long been
authorized to prescribe such
regulations for the admission of
persons into the civil service of
the United States as may best
promote the efficiency thereof
- Complete control over adj
missions does not obviate the
removal requirements of the
Lloyd-LaFollette Act.
I'm our opinion. the plaintiff
is entitled to a summary judg-
ment that his removal from his
position was not in accordance
with law and that he should be
restored to the position"

ever, employees could not receive
overtime payments that would
make their combined salary
more than $4,000 annually.
Employees in Grades / to 8 would

2. Longevity pay increases for

Only one such longevity increase
could be given. regardless Of how

Similar Bill in Senate.
The Senate has approved a
somewhat similar fringe bene-
fits bill, with the exception that
restoration of the 60-day leave
accumulation rights is not in
cluded. The Senate version
would allow employees to keep
the amount of leave they have
but would not increase it. The
matter will have to be settled in
conference.
The House committee moved
to expedite action on the pay
fringe benefits bill by attaching
it to the Senate-passed bill
This, after House approval
would send the measure straight
to House-Senate conference
even though the Senate has not
yet approved a pay raise bill.
The cost of the House commit
tees pay-fringe bill is estimated
at $500 million a year. More
than / million employees would

President Signs Bill Raising
Military Re-enIistment Bonus

President Eisenhower has
signed a bill increasing the size
of re-enlistment bonuses for
servicen1en and women who
agree to serve after the end of
their present enlistment.
The present limit on re-enlist-
ment bonuses on a cumulative
basis is $1,440. The new law,
effective yesterday, will raise
that figure to $4,000 after 20
years service.
The President said the pur-
pose of the increases is to offer
an added inducement for more
people to make a career of mill

ing the efficiency of the armed
forces.

ference last night after Mr..
Mendes- France and Mr.. Eden
spent three apparently fruitless
hours wrangling with Mr.. Molo-
tov over differences blocking a
truce agreement.
One authoritative source said
there had been mo progress at
all on any of the real issues. !"
Second Attempt Fails.
It was Mr.. MendeS-France's
second abortive parley with Mr..
Molotov in "a hours. Earlier the
Reds had boosted Western hopes
that they were ready to COM
promise and allow the French
Premier to win his dramatic race
to end the Indo- China war. The
French Premier has promised to
resign if he doesn't achieve a
cease-fire agreement by July 20.
Although Western diplomats
now are less optimistic about
chances for a truce they think
the Reds might still come around
before the deadline date.
"Molotov may be holding out
for the best price until the last
minute" one Western diplomat
said.
Informants said Mr.. Mendes-
France last night handed Mr.
Molotov the first detailed draft
of Western proposals.
The Communists and the
Western ministers have failed
to reach agreement on where the
partition line is to be drawn
through the pivotal do-Chinese
state of Wet Nam.
Mr.. Mendes-France repeatedly
wants the line cut at the 18th
parallel. The Communists want
the state divided at the 14th
latitude which would give them
control of Wet Nam including
the important air and naval base
of Tourane and the old Anna
mese capital of Hue.
Would Yield Hanoi.
Mr.. Mendes- France has indi-
Gated he is ready to give up
Hanoi, war capital of Northern
Wet Nam, but he insists on at
least temporary control of the
big northern port of Haiphong.
Still to be settled are other
key issues, such as scheduling
free elections for Wet Nam and
setting terms for neutralizing
Indo -China's two other states
Laos and Cambodia.
Secretary of State Dulles has
told Mr.. Mendes- France and
+ Mr.. Eden that the United States
would not block their efforts to
negotiate a peace based on par
tition of Wet Nam. But he
made it clear the Eisenhower adj
ministration froMns on a plan
which would place new millions
under Red rule.
Gen. Smith must work out q
formula which would allow the
United States to stand clear of
a partition arrangement, but at
the same time permit Washing
ton to extend aid to the South
Wet Namese state, Laos and
Rmbodia.

Partial text of the appellate
opinion follows:
I'm 1947. when Roth had
been in the classified civil serv-
ice about four years. Executive
Order No. $3.50 was issued. 1t
provides that the positions
named in Schedules A and B
shall be excepted from the
competitive service Sched-
ule A includes attorneys. II is
agreed that competitive serv-
ice and classified civil service
are equivalent terms. But Order
$3.50 was apparently intended,
when it was issued. not to apply
to attorneys. who like Roth,
were already in the classified
civil service Until the District
Court decided this case. the
Civil Service Commission inter-
preted Order $3.50 as not APP
plying to these attorneys.
The defendants assume, with
out directly asserting, that the
plaintiff was not removed from
the classified civil service in 1947
when Order $3.50 excepted such
positions as his from that
service.
But despite that assumption,
the defendants say that, by
reason of Order $3.50, the plain
