The first major effort in the
Senate to kill the administra-
tion's bin to end Communist
domination Of certain labor I'M
ions was soundly thumped today
when Is Democrats Joined 43
Republicans in rejecting the
Magnuson amendment, 81 to 81.
The defeated amendment
called for the setting up of q
presidential commission to study
the Reds-ir1-unions problem,
with a report on recommends
lions set for next January Is.
Only two Republicans crossed
lines to side with the move lead
by Senator Magnuson, Demo-
crat, of Washington. They were
Senator Ives of New York and
Cooper of Kentucky.
The fight is far from over,
however. although the Republic
can leadership is confident it has
the votes to pass the controver-
sial measure. now being called
the Velde-Butler bill. Additional
amendments and considerable
debate are expected before the
Senate reaches showdown vote.
Backed by Brownell.
Attorney General Brownell
has Endorsed the measure and
its proponents say that they
have heavy White House back
ing for it.
The situation in the House
was dubious until last Monday
when the Un-American Activ-
tiles Committee rushed through
the Velde bill which is almost
identical to the Senate measure.
Earlier, the House Judiciary
Committee had buried the adj
ministration's original and more
severe measure aimed at ending
Communist control Of the
unions.
The bills, in brief, would pro-
vide that when the Attorney
General has reason to believe
that any organization is a Com
munist-infiltrated organization,
he may petition the Subversive
Activities Control Board for q
determination.
When the board finds an or
ganization posing as labor
union" is Communist infiltrated
it must so inform the National
Labor Relations Board.
Loses NLRB Sanction.
Thereafter, the designated or
ganization becomes ineligible UNI
der the labor laws to act as q
labor organization and represent
employees in a bargaining unit.
Further action then is up to the
union members who must decide
whether they want new repre-
sentatives in order to regain the
privileges and the benefits under
the National Labor Relations
Act.
Before the vote today, both
Senators Magnuson and Lehman,
Democrat, Of New York, .assailed
the Velde-Butle bill as hastily
conceived" and one that might
do more harm than good.
Senator Lehman went fur
ther. He called it completely

A defense plant worker called
for questioning about alleged
Communist affiliations took q
new approach today by asking
Senator McCarthy's Investigat-
ing Subcommittee to drop pro-
ceedings against him until the
Senate passes on the pending
censure resolution against SEN
ator Mccarthy.
The witness Louis PaSsikof,
had been identified as a top
figure in the Communist Party
around Pittsburgh several years
ago by a former FBI undercover
agent. The witness denied en-
phatically he had ever engaged
in espionage, but claimed both
the First and Fifth Amendments
in refusing to answer questions
about whether he was a member
of the Communist Party.
Mr.. Passikof engaged in fire.
quent verbal clashes with both
Chairman Mccarthy and Sena-
tor jackson, Democrat, of Wash
ington.
Charges Conspiracy.
The first question Senator Nc
Carthy put was, Where are you
working?"
Mr.. Passikoff said he wanted
to make a motion before an
swering any questions to quash
his subpoena and to accuse Sena-
tor McCarthy of conspiracy with
General Electric to deprive me
and other employees" of their
jobs.
The witness said he also
wanted to add this conspiracy
charge to the other charges now
before a special six-man Senate
committee named to decide
whether Senator Mccarthy
should be censured.
Senator Mccarthy called the
motion "a new subterfuge" and
Robert Kennedy, counsel to the
Democrats on the subcommittee,
protested the motion was actually
a prepared statement and should
not be read because it was not
submitted in advance under
committee rules.

Tax Story False,
Mccarthy Says

Senator Mccarthy was shown
a proof of The Stars story on
his tax situation before the
first edition of the paper went
to press today. He said:
"That Is completely false. It
is without any foundation. I
asked Internal Revenue to
make an investigation, and
they haven't reported to me
yet"
Later, as he left a public
hearing of his Permanent In
vestigations subcommittee at
noon, the Senator told report
ers the story was "a complete
and vicious libel"
He said the Democratic adj
ministration investigated his
tax returns through the year
1850 and that the only change
they made was to shift certain
interest payments from one
year to another. He said the
bureau commended interest
should be reported in the year
it was due, while he had taken
the position it should be re-
ported in the year in which
1t was paid.
The Wisconsin Republican
said that was the only error,
"if that could be called an
error"
Senator Mccarthy said that
when the Senate Rules sub
committee, headed by Senator
Hennings, Democrat. Of Mis-
souri,, made public it's report
on him late in 1862, he asked
the Internal Revenue Service
to conduct a full field investi-
cation Of his tax returns. He
said there has been mo in
'timation by anyone" that he
owes more taxes.
The Senator said that a few
months ago he understood the
bureau was still making the
investigation he requested,
but he did not know what the
status Of 1t was today.

Soviet Envoy to Canada
Optimistic on Peace j..
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Aug. H.
Dmitri s. Chuvahin, Soviet
Union Ambassador to Canada,
said, Il am optimistic about
peace--ih that I have no doubt"
He made the comment to
newsmen yesterday as he and
his wife and son boarded the
liner Queen Mary. en- route to
Moscow for a two-month va
cation.

classified as non-taxable some of
the money he received and on
which he should have paid taxes.
A taxpayer in these circum-
stances can clear himself by SIM
ply paying the back taxes plus 6
per cent interest.
II the taxpayer pays up, the
Revenue Service does not make
the case public. Thus Senator
McCarthy's Federal tax returns
again could escape public scru-
tlny-unless some congressional
committee were to subpoena
them.
Records Are Scarce.
The tax agents confidence in
their claim against Senator
Mccarthy stems partly from the
TACT that Internal Revenue COM
missioner T. Coleman Andrews
Is taking a stern attitude toward
Senator McCarthy's lack of de-
tailed records to support his tax
returns.
The law states that If Internal
Revenue finds that a taxpayer
has receipts that are not clearly
classifiable as non-taxable, in
ternal revenue can rule that the
receipts are subject to taxation.
This is the course Internal
Revenue is following in the Nc
Carthy case. It means that the
burden of proof" falls on the
Senator. To avoid the taxes he
must prove where he got the
disputed money, and he must
inrove that the money is not SUBJ
Gect to taxation.
This may turn out to be q for
uAidable task for Senator McCar-

Peak Activity Of
u. 5. Economy
Minor Dip Halted,
He Says, AccIoimine
Era Of Prosperity
By Gornett D. Horner

President Eisenhower said to-
day that overall performance
of the American economy thus
far during this administration
has been better than during any
earlier time
And he reported that midyear
business statistics show that
economic activity of late has
been higher than at any time
before this administration as
sumed responsibility" with only
1853 being a better year than
1854 is turning out to be.
In lengthy statement review
ing midyear economic statistics.
the President said "the para
mount fact" is that "the recent
decline in economic activity has
come to halt" He emphasized
that the halted decline was
rather minor"
James c. Hagerty, the Presi-
dents press secretary, said the
Presidents statement was pre-
pared at the White House from
materials supplied by the Com
merce, Labor and Treasury DE-
partments and the Presidents
Council. of Economic Advisers.
It differed from the Presidents
annual economic report in that
the Council Of Economic Adj
visers prepares that as a formal
report.
Notes Statistical Support.
Gen Eisenhower said the busi-
ness statistics he presented sug-
gests an improving state of eco
nomic welfare.
"An economic historian Of an
earlier generation" he added,
"if confronted with facts such
as these, would have felt no
hesitation in describing recent
times as a period Of great pros
perity.
"And If our imaginary his
torian had stopped to take &C
count of the difficulties of shift
ing from war to a more nearly
peace economy, with Govern
ment expenditure on national
security dropping nearly one
fifth in year, he might well
have described the last year or
two as a time when economic
miracles were being wrought"
Narrow Range of Index.
The President noted that the
Federal Reserve index of indus
trial production has moved
within an extremely narrow
range" for the last six months.
He said it stood at 125 CEASED
on 1947-49 averages as 1000 at
the beginning of the year. It
dropped to 1913 ia March and
April. but climbed back to 1874
in May and June.
Comparing the average of the
industrial production index for
the last six months with the
first half of 1853, when the
President said the Nation was
enjoying the greatest prosper
ity we have yet known" he said
industrial production has been
running 81 per cent lower in
1854 than in 1858.
But he pointed out that the
production index covers only
manufacturing and mining, leav-
ing out much more important
sources Of employment" such as
construction, agriculture, trans
portation and personal services.
Cites Slight Declines.
Comparing other statistics for
the first half of 1854 with the
first half of 1853. the President
said: The gross national product
has dropped 81 per cent; nom
agricultural employment has
dropped 90 per cent; personal
income has risen 2 per cent; dis
