I'm questioning it right

seem to have that kind of
bravery. I'm referring to the
statement put out by the

For Plant Expansion
Voted by House Unit
By the Associated Press

The House Ways and Means
Committee has voted to give
business a bigger tax break on
financing new plant and equip
ment and individuals some tax
relief on medical bills.
The committee is deep in the
job Of rewriting most Of the Ma
tons complex tax laws. a project
that has the strong backing of
President Eisenhower. It's rec
concentrations go to Congress for
approval or rejection.
Yesterday the committee voted
in favor of new provision CIV
ing businessmen and farmers the
right to deduct much more of
the cost Of new plants. machinery
and equipment during the first
years of their use.
Medical Deduction Raised.
Under present law, this cost
may be written off as a tax de-
duction in equal installments
over the estimated useful life
of the items.
The committee also recon-
mended allowing taxpayers to
deduct medical expenses that
run over 3 per cent of income.
Deductions now start at the S
per cent level. The committee
also would double present allow
able maximum medical deduc-
tions-$1.250 for individuals and
$4,000 for families.
Would Save S375 Million.
Experts said the new deprecia-
ton allowance would save bust
ness $375 million the. first year.
They estimated that the new
medical expense arrangement
would save another SOS million.
Committee Chairman Reed
said the depreciation provision
will mean greater job oppor-
tunities and fuller employment"
for wage earners and increased
opportunities for businessmen to
expand facilities and introduce
new equipment.
But Representative Eberharter,
Democrat of Pennsylvania. an
other committee member. termed
it tremendous windfall to
corporations"

Approval Of Beeson
For NlRB Forecast
By Senator Smith
BY the Associated Press

Senator Smith. Republican, Of
New Jersey today predicted
quick Senate confirmation" OF
Albert c. Beeson to the National
Labor Relations Board, despite
his committees inability to mus
ter a quorum at a hearing he
called for late yesterday.
Senator Smith. chairman OF
the Labor Committee. was faced
with another delay. this one for
four days. before a vote could be
taken on the controversial presi-
Dental appointment.
When all the committees six
Democrats boycotted the session
Senator Smith and four Repub-
lican members present agreed to
postpone consideration until
Tuesday morning. That was pre-
cisely what the Democrats had
urged at an earlier committee
session yesterday.
"Filibuster" Charged.
Senator Smith charged the
Democrats with "filibustering" to
embarrass him and President
Eisenhower. He made that &C
cusation when Democrats broke
up the preliminary hearing yes
terday just as a motion was
made to vote on Mr.. Beeson.
Mr.. Beeson. a 47-year-old
businessman from San Jose,
Calf. has been the target of
stiff questioning from committee
Democrats. Although there were
no definite indications any DEM
ocrats on the committee would
vote against him. they insisted
on further questioning.
Three Points Stressed.
Three things about Mr.. Bee
son appeared to disturb them:
l. His Acknowledgement that
he thought the Taft Hartley law
had been administered by the
NLRB under former President
Truman in a way calculated to
favor labor over management.
2. He would be coming to the
board direct from a top manage
ment job. He was vice president
of the Food, Machinery and
Chemical Corp, until named by
President Eisenhower January Z.
3. NLRB Chairman Guy
Farmer represented Mr.. Beeson's
company as counsel on several
matters until six months before
Mr.. Farmer came to the board
last summer. Senator Lehman.
Democrat, of New York, also has
indicated interest in Mr.. Bee
sons statement that he was
recommended for the NLRB post
by Mr.. Farmer himself.
The board now has only four
members and has been dead
locked on several important de-
cisionS and rulings.

Russia's 57ih Veto
Kills U. n. Plan 10
End Jordan Dispute
BY Tho A..oeies.d pr..s

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y,
Jan. '23.-The Soviet Union used
its veto in the Security Council
for the 57th time last night and
killed 4 Western proposal for
settling the dispute between
Israel and Syria over a Jordan
River irrigation-power project.
The PROPOSAL was acceptable to
Israel but bitterly opposed by the
Arab states. Put in by the
United States, Britain and
France. it would have given the
United Nations mediator in
Palestine the power to act as he
deemed appropriate to effect q
reconciliation between Syria and
Israel.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Min
lister Andrei Vishinsky declared
this gave Mai. Gen. Vagn Ben
nike. the mediator. too much
power.
Britain's Sid Gladwyn Jebb
remarked this Is a melancholy
and sinister occasion-melan-
choly because it is hardly a good
augury for future international
cooperation, sinister because of
its implications for the cause of
peace in the Arab world"
Gets Bare Minimum.
The resolution mustered the
bare minimum of seven votes
needed in the 11-nation coun-
Gil on a matter of substance
as distinct from a matter of
procedure. But the resolution
failed because the U. N. charter
provides that If any of the five
major powers votes no on a
matter of substance the issue is
defeated.
Lebanon and the Soviet Union
voted no. Nationalist China and
Brazil abstained. Colombia,
Denmark, New Zealand and
Turkey joined the Big Three in
favorable votes.
Syria and the Arab states had
opposed the Western proposal
on the ground that it could
call for a settlement without
Syria's consent.
only exercising his veto right
under the charter and added,
i do not doubt that you (the
Western powers) will use it If
necessary" He added that Sec
rotary Of State Dulles in his
book, war or Peace" had said
he would use the veto if neces-
sary on an issue involving such
a question as Panama.
Malik Criticizes Diplomacy.
DR.. Charles A. Malik. Lebanese
Ambassador to the United States,
said the West had let itself be
Unanswered as to appear op-
posed to the Arab states. He
asked. us this the best possible
diplomacy"
The veto, in the Councils
first meeting this year. climaxed
a debate that has run through
three months and IS sittings. It
is not over yet.
Israel last September 2 began
digging canal for a power and
irrigation project fed from the
upper Jordan River in the de-
militarized zone created by her
in 1949 armistice agreement with
Syria.
Syria complained that this
violated the agreement and
robbed her people of irrigation
water. The Security Council
took the matter up October 81.
A day later Israel suspended the
work pending debate

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 23.-The
embattled Irish twins, George
and Charles Finn, are back in
Jail today after another fam
boyant brush with the Federal
Government during which they
handcuffed the United States
attorney and threw officialdom
into an uproar.
The Flying Finns," former
Air Force pilots, have been hav-
ing legal trouble with the Gov
eminent for more than a year
in connection with their claims
to ownership Of a $4,000 war
surplus GAG transport plane.
The unpredictable 38-year-old
twins Wednesday handcuffed
United States Attorney Laughlin
E. Waters in an attempted "citi-
zen's arrest" as he came out Of
the Biltmore Hotel, where he had
addressed the Los Angeles Bar
Association.

law is invoked only when a wit

books the suspect and makes the
complaint.
Accuse Him Of Plot.

Of "conspiring against the rights

rights under cover of the law"
They said he had been giving
them the brush off" and re-
fused to discuss with them the

plane they purchased a year ago
from the Bakersfield, Calf.
school district, which had used
it for a mechanical training
course.
Events that followed read like
the script Of a comic opera.
Before I knew what was hap
pening they had snapped a hand
cuff on my right wrist" Mr..
Waters said. George Finn then
snapped the other handcuff to
his own right wrist. while Charles
called police.
Were not going to have any
part Of this" police officers said
when they arrived and recog-
nized Mr.. Waters. But the
United States attorney for South
ern California demanded that he
be taken to the central police
station, and the police agreed to
furnish transportation.
Inspector Demands Release.
At the station, Police Inspec-
tor James Lawrence demanded
that the Firms release Mr..
Waters.
1--WE know our rights" the
Firms answered. We've been ig-
nored long enough. We're start
ing to fight back now"
The Firms and Mr.. Waters,
trailed by officials, reporters and
photographers, went to the Of
fees of District Attorney E. Ern-
est Roll and discussed the stu
alton in detail. Mr.. Waters went
free. of course, and the twin
brothers were taken before the
United States commissioner and
arraigned on a charge of assault
ing a Federal officer. then Jailed
in lieu of $4,000 felony bail.
Kidnap Report Spreads.
During all the hubbub report
sped through civic center Offices
that Mr.. Waters had been kid
naped.
The Films difficulties with
the government began when
Federal authorities told them
they had no right to purchase
the transport plane. which had
been condemned for future flying
service. The twins ignored the
Government and a year ago few

Most Business Lines
Below Level Of So;
Building Does Well
By Walter Breede. Jr.
Associated Press Business Writer

NEW YORK, Mar. 13.-Ac-
tivity in most lines of business
continued below year-ago levels
this week. But there were notable
exceptions.
One was new construction.
Contracts for all types of con-
struction awarded in February
set an all-time record for that
month and the January-F ebru-
airy total was good Is per cent
over the high level of a year ago.
Steel output continued to lag:
The weeks scheduled operating
rate of $50 per cent was the
lowest for any non-holiday,
Strike-free week since March,
1850. There were indications that
Steelmakers who had looked for
an upturn in March would have
to wait till April.
New-car sales have been NOV
ing up February sales Of 40l.-
oUU cars were up Is per cent from
january but not fast enough to
keep pace with production.
The week saw gains in the
production of crude oil and cleo
trio power and sales of cotton
textiles. Prices of lead, copper
scrap. tin and zinc turned firm;
the stock market was at its
highest level in "a years.
There were other less favor
able indicators:
Freight carloadings were off
more than Is per cent from the
corresponding week of 1858.
Department store sales were
down II per cent from a year
ago.
Unemployment at the end of
February totaled about 3.5 mil
Iona gain of 100000 for the
month.

Governments Steady
As Corporate Bonds
Rise for nth Week
BY Arthur Merims
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK. Mar. 13.-The
corporate bond market climbed
for the 18th consecutive week
while marketable Government
bonds held steady.
Top quality utilities and rail-
roads sent the corporate list up
ward. AS the week ended, A. P.,s
average Of railroads, utilities and
low-yield liens were at 1884
peaks. However, trading turned
cautious during the last days
and many bonds which had
risen sharply slipped a little.
Government bonds fuctuated
narrowly at quotations close to
yearly highs. The 3O-year 3As
lost 6/32 this week at 109 2/32
bid. Victory Loan 21as of 1967-72
rose 4/32 at SO 1882 bid, while
the 2las Of 1861 declined an
equal fraction at 101 1882 bid.
German dollar bonds lost
ground as the New York Stock
Exchange announced that %
Reich issues were being re-
admitted to trading, effective
Monday, March Is. The eight
bond issues currently changing
hands on the "big board" eased
in anticipation of broadened
supply of German liens.
Other foreign bonds tended to
rise. Italian bonds were in mod
crate demand after the vote of
confidence accorded Premier
Scelba in the Italian Chamber
Of Deputies. Brazilian dollar
bonds advanced, rejecting the
marketing successes of that
country'S coffee. japanese bonds
also firmed after the United
States and Japan signed a pact
calling for japanese rearma-
ment and 500 million Of United
States aid.
