asked. and answered himself

Mr.. Zeckendorf, who heads
the huge development firm of
Webb & Knapp. and has been
active in helping plan South
west Redevelopment. said that
Washington could look to New
York as an example Of how it
can grow.
New York in 1943, he said, was
the most depressed city in the
Nation, with rents and real
estate values at a 50-year low,
while Washington, crammed with
a wartime population, was BOOM

Today, he said. the picture is
reversed. New York has more

Lias sTaxLiabi|ity
PutatS2Ni||ion
U. S. Charges Upheld
Against Roeine Man
BY the Associated Press

Judge Clarence P. Lemire of
the United States Tax Court
held today that William G. (Big
BilD Lias, Wheeling. w. Va,
race track operator, owes $2.-
012,222 in back income taxes
and penalties.
The 75-page opinion upheld
all the Governments conten-
tions.
Under the ruling, Lias was
held liable also for an additional
amount in interest, to be COM
puted later.
During the tax court trial of
the 400-pound operator of
Wheeling Downs race track and
onetime professional gambler,
$2,850.000 was repeatedly men
toned as the total amount
owed, including penalties and
interest from 1912 through 1948.
Had Offered to Settle
In the spring of 1852 Lias Of
fered to settle the case for SIG
million. This was turned down.
In February, 1858, Lias offered
to settle for $1.2 million. This
too was turned down.
Lias explained his second Of
fer was smaller than the first
because the Government in the
meantime had placed his prop
critics. including Wheeling Downs
race track, in receivership. He
said he wasn't in as good a bor-
rowing position as he had been
earlier.
Points to Ruling
Judge Lemire's opinion stated:
81. Petitioners net income for
the taxable years in question
was properly computed on the
net worth expenditures basis.
20. The so per cent addition
to the tax for fraud in each of
the taxable years 1912 to 1948,
inclusive, approved.
"3. The 6 per cent penalty
for substantial under statement
of tax in petitioners declaration
of estimated tax for the years
1943 to 1947, inclusive, approved.
a. Petitioner owned certain
bank accounts in the names of
his wife and children, and the
interest thereon is taxable to
him in the years 1914 and 1945.
IS. The rents from two prop
critics collected and retained by
petitioner in 1945, after the
properties were decided to La
coma. Inc, are taxable to him as
dividends to the extent of the
available earnings of the cor
poration.
"6. Petitioner owned the Aul
e. Shively and Musee properties,
and the rents therefrom in the
years 1943 to 1916, inclusive, and
the capital gain on their dispo-
sitlon in 1946 are taxable to
him. and the interest paid on
the deeds of trust on such prop
critics is deductible by him.
"7. The petitioner has failed
to establish that the sum of
$4,000. representing salary from
Wheeling Downs Racing Asso-
citation, was not constructively
received in the year 1916.
"8. The petitioner has failed
to show that he sustained any
individuaI gambling loss In the
taxable Year 1943."

A Federal Judge today ordered
the State Department to grant
a passport to a close friend of
the late Prof. Albert Einstein
and sole executor of the physi-
cist's estate so the friend can go
abroad for the 50th jubilee cele-
bration of the theory of rela-
tivity.
Judge Henry A. Schweinhaut
Of US. District Court for the
District of Columbia ordered the
passport for DR.. Otto Nathan. an
economics professor at New
York University.
Judge Schweinhaut charged
the State Department had
evaded an order he gave it last
March to grant DR.. Nathan an
appropriate and prompt hearing
on his passport application, filed
more than two years ago.
Gets Evasive Letter
Instead of doing what the
court ordered" the jurist de-
clared, "the State Department
writes an evasive letter a.. ask
ing What kind of a hearing do
you want?'"
DR.. Nathan had asked the
court to judge the State Depart
ment in contempt for refusing
to grant the hearing. Instead,
Judge Schweinhaut, (paraphras-
ing Lewis CARROLL declared:
"The time has come, the wal
rus said, to end this matter so
far as this court is concerned.
I am quite dissatisfied with
the fact that the order of the
United States Court has not been
obeyed. I will sign an order
directing that the passport be
issued"
Need Affidavits
When DR.. Nathan asked for
the passport two years ago, the
State Department denied the re-
quest and asked for an affidavit
that he had not belonged to any
Communist-front organizations.
After filing affldavits swearing
he has never been a member of
the Communist Party, DR.. Ma
than declined to make blanket
statements concerning front Or
CARNATIONS unless the specific
groups were named.
That was the stage at which
the case came before Judge
Schweinhaut.

defeat demonstrated the need
for "a thorough review of pol
icy" in the party. Apparently
referring to the Bevan split, he
said, I'm particular, it really is
necessary that we shall have a
united Labor Party within our
own ranks"
Stocks Leap Ahead
The London stock market
leaped buoyantly ahead with
news of the Conservative victory.
Steel and shares of other COM
panies which might have faced
naturalization had the Socialists
won highlighted the days adj
vances. Ford Motors also was
outStandingly active.
The Laborites took the gov
ernment in 1945. in a vote that
reflected popular resentment at
wartime austerity. The Conser-
vatives came back under Sir
Winston's leadership in 1851,
winning a majority of House of
Commons districts but actually
tagging behind the Laborites in
the popular vote. This time the
popular vote-aS well as a ma
jority of districts-was firmly in
the Conservative column.
Popular Vote Figures
The latest popular vote fig
ures showed:
Conservatives, 12,804, $50
50.O3 per cent.
Labor. 11,954.339-46.70 per
cent.
Liberals, 50,327-2.54 per cent,
Others, 186,379-.73 per cent.
Like all the Conservative Party
leaders, Mr.. Attlee and Mr.. Be-
van were reelected In their own
districts.
The loss of Laborite prestige
was so great that Mr.. Bevan
was in a more favorable spot
than he has occupied since he
stepped out of the cabinet. He
was in a position to say that
the moderate policies of the
party's right wing had cost the
election, and to push his own
program of more socialism and
