Works Committee, which helped
draft the program, described as
"even-handed justice" proposals
that District taxpayers and the
Federal Government share the
new revenue burdens.
He was followed by Is other
citizen witnesses who strongly
supported proposals to increase
local taxes by about $40 million
a year. boost the Federal pay
ment SO million annually. and
borrow about Sill million over
the next decade in interest bear
ing Federal loans.
Criticism Sounded.
The main battle-ground in
hearings before the fiscal sub
committees of the House and
Senate District COMMITTEES de-
veloped today around the tax
increase proposals.
They include higher water
rates, new sewer tax, a one
cent gasoline tax boost and 9TH
ers ranging from higher income
levies to higher beer taxes.
Benjamin Striner, represent
ing the Federation of Business
mems Associations, sounded the
keynote for the opposition forces.
branding the proposed plan as
one which would rapidly de
teriorate the fiscal picture in the
Nations capital"
He was to be followed by more
than 80 other opposing wit
nesses, many ofthem expected to
base objections on one or an
other of the specific tax pro-
posals.
Voices Major Objections.
Mr.. Striner stressed that he
was not denying the need for
substantial public works i'm
provements. But he based his
opposition on these m a Tor
| points:
That the plans proponents
have underestimate deficits
facing the city. that the pro-
posed taxes are discriminatory"
and would drive business away
from the city, and that it would
not provide for a new backlog of
public works improvements
needed by 1864.
Mr.. Striner, a longtime oppo-
nent of the program, was given
free rein by the committee to
develop his views. at this morn
ing'S session. Committee mem
bers have said they want oppo-
nents to have the same time for
testimony asthe hackers have
had during the last two days.
Alternatives Offered.
AS an alternative to the pro-
posals. Mr.. Striner suggested q
three-point plan to finance the
works improvements. 1t consist
ed of a higher Federal increase
than the SO million proposed by
city officials, assumption by the
Federal Government of some
expenses now borne by the city

Drive Seeks PASSAGE
Of Fair Trade Bill
Al This Session

A drive is under way to get
action before Congress adjourns
on the so-called fair trade bill,
which is sponsored by many To-
cal and national business spokes-
men.
The measure now is awaiting
action by the Business and Com
merce subcommittee of the Sen
ate District Committee. Some OBJ
servers expect the subcommittee.
headed by Senator Payne. Re-
publican. of Maine, to make a
favorable report.
A hot fight, however, is ex-
pected in the full committee
since Senator Morse. independ-
cnt. of Oregon, is a declared OPP
ponent of this type of measure.
If he loses in the committee
it is expected he will cary his
fight to the Senate floor.
Opponents have consistently
labeled fair trade bills as price
fixing and price-raising" legis-
lation.
All members of the Senate Dis
trict Committee have been sent
arguments for the measure in
letter from Henry H. Brylawski,
executive secretary Of the D. C.
Business Practices Council.
This letter is a detailed reply
to a statement submitted to the
subcommittee June 4 by William
p. Rog eTS, Deputy Attorney
General. Mr.. Rogers said the
Justice Department regarded the
measure to be Gin fact, price
fixing and, as such. is inconSis-
tent with the philosophy of the
antitrust laws"
Mr.. Brylawski replied that
since the antitrust laws have
been modified by Congress on
two occasions so as to permit
fair-trade legislation, is it diff
f1cult to see how passage of the
proposed District measure would
be contrary to this philosophy.

Anti United States reaction

United States families kept
close to their homes, but the

he would protect United States

Diaz. 1t. Col. Carlos Sarti. head

Arbenz was reported extremely

Arbenz announced his resigna-
ton personally in a BROADCAST at
8 pm. on the government radio.
He said he was stepping down
with bitter pain but with the
firm conviction that the people
will retain what has cost so much
in this struggle of tears and
blood"
"The day will come when there
will be triumph for loyal Guate-
malans under Col. Diaz," he de-
clared.
Arbenz bitterly attacked the
United Fruit Co. of Boston,
which he has accused of backing
the rebel invasion in revenge for
his governments appropriation
of part of the company's vast
holdings in Guatemala.
He also accused "mercenary

Speaking after him, Diaz said
"the struggle against mercenary
invaders of Guatemala will not
abate."
"Col. Arbenz has done what
he thought his duty" he con-
tinued. II shall carry on. I am
deeply grateful for the trust he
placed in me. Conquests gained

Omitted States officials in
Washington withheld judg-
ment on whether the govern
ment switch meant an end to
the Communist influence on
the Guatemalan government.
These officials said as far as
they could determine last
night, Diaz had no anti-Com-
munist record and had been a
faithful follower of Arbenz.
(Arbenz' overthrow appeared
likely to suspend, at least for
awhile, plans by the United
States and various of the
Latin American states to delve
deeper into the Guatemalan
situation. The Inter-American
Peace Committee had planned
to dispatch a mission by plane
tonight from Washington to

that the United States and

More Shooting Seen.
Although the military opera
tons appeared rapidly drawing
to an end, foreign observers here
predicted there would be con-
siderable shooting and resistance
before the Communists are
cleaned out.
These observers said that with
an end to air raids and accom-
panying blackouts, there would
be less chance of wild Shootings
and as a result American prop
erty would be safer. They fore
cast a sharp clamp-down on
Communist activity throughout
Central America.
Most observers felt convinced
the more rabid Communists
would seek revenge for what they
consider a United States victory
and that considerable bloodshed
would result. But they believe
that the general situation will
be considerably eased.

general of the rebel provisional

U.S.-British Difference on Asia
Doomed Full Accord at Farley

the word of a Communist. To
American arguments that the
Chinese cannot be trusted, the
British counter with the conten-
ton that no settlement has any
meaning at all unless it is backed
by the Chinese.
Only if such an agreement is
reached is there much hope for
the second half of the security
system, as the British see it.
They do not believe that any
kind of Asian NATO can be
worked out for the purely mega
tive purpose of opposing COM
munism. To attract the support
of most nom Communist ASians,
it must have a positive purpose,
such as to guarantee a political
settlement agreed to by every
one, including the Communists.
Britain's insistence that all
major non-Communist Asian
nations should indorse the pro-
posed mutual security pact is
another point of disagreement.
There is a tendency to write this
off as an obSession with midas
precarious status within the
British Commonwealth, together
with the implication that the
United States can safely afford
to ignore it as a serious consid-
Grafton. It is true that the Brit
ish are worried about India. Any
time it wants to, India can with
draw from the Commonwealth,
at which point. as one realistic
observer put it.: 1.-THE whole
show falls apart"
The Political Menace.
But the main reason for Brit
iSh pre-occupation with Asian
support is not so simple. It
starts with the idea that the
real Communist menace in Asia
is not military. but political. A
military alliance such as the
United States is now plugging
might provide an effective guar
antee against outright invasion
by the Chinese Army. 1t pro-
videS no defense whatever
against political infiltration. In
fact, a military alliance in Asia
brought into being against the
opposition of such major states
as India, Burma and IndoneSia
would, according to the British,
actually increase the danger Of
losing southeast Asia to com
muniSh through political action.
differences are, it would have
been optimistic to suppose that
they could all be ironed out in
the course of a few weekend
conversations. Any accommoda-
ton between the British and
American point of view would
first call for a basic rethinking
of policy. And recognizing the
political realities here and in
Washington, it would seem that
neither side is in a position to
admit that the other has the
Sounder answers.
With no firm agreement on
a course of action, the cry
will surely be raised that the
United States must act on
its own. The British are very
much aware of this possibility
and will do their best to prevent
it. There is a strong feeling
here that unco-ordinated indie
pendent action by the United
States in Asia would be a
calamity and a threat to the
whole structure of Western
solidarity.

Probes Should Avoid
Stirring Feeling Of
Injustice, Bush Says
By J. A. OIeoy

Senator Bush, Republican, Of
Connecticut, today called on
congressional Red hunters to
avoid methods that arouse feel
ings of injustice.
He was scheduled as the first
witness before a Senate Rules
subcommittee which begins
hearings this afternoon on a
code of fair practice for Senate
investigations In a statement
prepared for delivery, Senator
Bush said investigators of COM
munism need not cast aside
standards of fairness in order
to obtain results"
The hearings will be held in
the same big marble caucus
room which formed the stage
for the recent televised hearings
of the Army Mccarthy contro-
verSy
Nixon Hits "Circus Air"
In this connection, Vice Pres
ident Nixon took a crack today
at televised hearings. The Vice
President. who is scheduled to
be a witness at the fair-practice
hearings Wednesday, said tele-
vised hearings tend to create
"a circus atmosphere" and add
ed:
Too often the temptation is
to play to the television audi
ence rather than to concentrate
on digging out the sometimes te-
dious. dry facts which are es-
sential to the success of the
investigation"
Mr.. Nixon's views were con-
tanned in foreword to a discus
sion of investigative methods in
the Federal Bar Association
Journal. The Journal contains
eight articles by Attorney Cen
eral Brownell and others on va
rious phases of congressional in
veStiRating.
Senator Bush was prepared to
tell the rules subcommittee that
greater strength and unity can
be achieved in searching out sub
version if fair methods are ad-
hered to.
Jenner Conducts Hearings.
Senator Jenner, Republican, of
Indiana, will conduct the current
hearings as chairman of the
Rules Committee. He said that
Is neutrality-suspicious. and
Democrats-have asked to tes-
tlfy in the next three days,
after which the hearings will be
recessed for a while.
A wide variety of resolutions
have been introduced in the
Senate in the past 10 months,
proposing new rules to safeguard
the rights of witnesses before
investigating committees.
Senator Bush urged adoption
of a new set of ground rules for
all Senate committees before
Congress adjourns. But, with
leaders pressing to end the Ses-
sion July 81, Republican Floor
Leader Knowland doubts this will
be possible. Senator Mnowland

ieves the Senate will adopt new
