Pafman and Dirksen
Head Rival Camps on
Income Tax Ceiling

A proposed constitutional
amendment to put a Is per cent
ceiling on income tax, except in
time of emergency. was praised
and denounced before a Senate
Judiciary subcommittee today.
For IS years advocates have
been trying to put the plan
through by having State legisla-
lures petition Congress - a
method of amending the Con-
never before used.
Today's hearing indicates
hackers Of the plan are turning
to the conventional method of
having Congress initiate the
amendment and submit it to the
States for ratification.
Senator Dirksen, Republican,
OF Illinois took the stand as chief
supporter Of the plan, while Rep
resentative Patman, Democrat,
OF Texas, led the opposition.
Also testifying for the plan
were Frank B. Packard, of the
Western Tax Council, and Robert
B. Dresser, Of the Life Insurance
Policyholders Protective Associa-
ton.
Witnesses disagreed as to how
many State legislatures have
acted on the proposal. Latest
figures in the Library of Con-
gress show that q States passed
favorable resolutions. of which
seven later rescinded their &C
ton. In two other States gov
ernors vetoed the resolutions,
but experts disagree on whether
the veto is binding. Petitions
from 80 States would force
Congress to act.
Mr.. Patman and Senator Kill

argued that the IS per cent
ceiling would destroy the capi-
talist system by creating mono

New Election Ordered
On New York Docks
By the Associo,ed Press

The National Labor Relations
Board today ordered a new bar
gaining rights election-to be
held before May 26-between
rival New York harbor long
shoremen's unions.
The date will be fixed by
NLRB Regional Director Charles
T. Douds of New York under
rules intended to assure the
voters a free hand and unin-
hibited choice of collective bar
gaining representatives"
The two rival unions have
been disputing for more than
six months for control Of the
New York piers. One is the
International Longshoremen's
Association (ILA) and the other
is a new AFL union with the
same name formed after the
lila was ousted by the AFL on
charges that it contained a
criminal element.
The NLRB set aside a previous
election of last December be-
cause of violence and threats
which the NLRB found made a
free vote impossible.

SummerfieId Pushes
Pay Rise in Senate
BY the Associated Press

Postmaster General Summer
field asked Congress today to
raise the salaries of postal en-
ployes by $50 million a year.
Testifying before the Senate
Post Office Committee, Mr.. Sum-
merfield said there are serious
inequities' in the present scales.
The adjustments he proposed
would result in increases for
more than 100000 of the 100000
postal field service employees, and
would not result in lower salaries
for any one, he said.
Mr.. Summerfield said fourth
class postmasters and rural car
riers are excluded from the i'm
mediate program. He said the
Department is continuing a study
of their pay, and they could be
added to the plan later.
He urged that Congress reject
a number of bills it is now con-
sidering, proposing fiat across
the-board increases ranging from
$400 to $1.100 a year.
The adoption of another
across-the-board increase on top
of previous f1at-rate raises would
make existing inequities more
acute, he said.

Agriculture Committee reports
out a bill to replace the 80
per cent law, which expires De-
cember 81.
If Congress should be able
to agree on a new parity law
this year. the so-called Anderson
flexible plan of IS to 80 per cent
would come back into force in
January.
Senator Young told the SEN
ate yesterday he would prefer
the old Anderson Act to the
new flexible plan now being pre-
sented by the Department of
Agriculture. but he hopes Con-
gress will not have to take either
of them.

Administration Given
Good Chance in First
Senate Farm Test
By J. A. OLeov

Administration forces have
good chance of winning the first
major test in the Senate today
in the fight over rigid versus
flexible farm price supports.
Supporters of a pending move
to extend the rigid 80 per cent
parity formula on six basic
crops for two years, as a rider
on the pending wool bill, ad-
mitted today their chances were
not bright.
They believe. however, they
will be in a stronger position
when the Senate Agriculture
Committee brings out the main
farm bill later in the session.
Dairy Support Rider.
Separate efforts also will be
made today to attach special
price supports for dairy products
to the wool bill. If the adminis-
tration wins the first test on the
general parity motion it probably
will be able to defeat other
amendments.
Although the wool bill is ex-
pected to pass late today or to-
morrow. the Senate's action may
turn out to be a mere gesture.
This is based on indications that
the House will insist on wrapping
all farm legislation into one
package later in the session in
stead of passing a separate wool
bill at this time.
Senator Young, Republican, of
North Dakota. one of the leading
advocates of retaining the pres
ent 80 per cent parity formula.
reminded the Senate yesterday
that House Agriculture Com
mittee has adopted a resolution
to consider all price support
problems in one bill.
The wool bill differs from the
general farm plan submitted by
the President in January. But
the administration is supporting
this special approach for the
wool industry because domestic
production has slumped SO per
cent in the last decade. The
United States now produces less
than one-third of the Nations
wool requirements.
The pending bill gives the
Government optional authority
to support wool through loans,

purchases or direct payments
to achieve a domestic produc-
ton goal of 300 million pounds.
If direct payments are adopted.
they may not exceed 70 per cent
of the gross tariff receipts on
wool imports.
The test vote today will not
reflect the full strength of the
advocates of the 80 per cent
parity formula on crops gener-
ally, because Western Senators
who ordinarily are for that for
mula do not want to attach it
to the wool bill.
If they lose today the advo-
Gates of 80 per cent of parity
will renew their fight when the
