mittee, said IN an interview yes
terday he would not agree to
any reduction in total Amer
lean armed strength. although
he might go along with possible
changes in emphasis on defense
weapons.
The Georgia Senator said
Democrats will judge the ad-
ministration new military

offers. not by the dollar total 1t
represents,
Although administration off,
Gals have been trying TO

will not be allowed TO suffer- in
the process. 49,
Senator Russell said he had
been Informed consideration is
being given within the admins

about 1852 billion for the fiscal
year beginning next July !. Sec
rotary of Defense Wilson has
said he hopes the total can be
kept close to the $345 billion
estimated as the defense outlay
for this fiscal year.
What is involved is not a
question OF the billions to be
spent but Of the retention of our
present overall military striking
power" Senator Russell said. II
the administration proposes
what I believe will involve a re-
duction in our ability to defend
ourselves. I will oppose it,
He said he would not accept
any military budget cuts aimed
at providing tax reduction next

TULSA, Okla, Dec. 10 (P.-
A strike of bus drivers and me-
chanics, Tulsa's sixth In 10
years. paralyzed the city's pub
lie transportation system today
in the midst of the Christmas
shopping season.
The Tulsa City Lines en-
ployes, unable to reach a con-
tract agreement. left the buses
in the barns today.
The tieup came after a series

night conferences failed to dis
solve an impasse over the AFL

The city, which claims a 220,-
1000 population, prepared to put
into operation a jitney system.
Private automobiles are licensed
to carry paying passengers over
established bus routes.
The strikes weekend start
softened its effect because a
large percentage of the city's
$4,000 bus riders do not work
then.
Downtown shopping crowds,
however. were certain to be
Ithinned on what is usually busy
shopping day at this time of year.

with a spring municipal election
u has shown deep reluctance to
approve any raise in the present

Two Types Of Opposition
Mr.. Root classified the oppo-

One. he said. was the consci-

he is to use his land" Mr.. Root
said that this type usually

The second category or COR

Mr.. Root said this was to be

Mr.. Root said that he did not
want to go on record as opposed
to realtors and builders as a

there were members Of every
profession who do not consider
the public interest when it con-
flicts with their own private

Warns OF Opposition

Iident of the National Automobile
Dealers Association, made a
final plea to car manufacturers
to sit down with their respective
dealers and work out more equi-
table dealer-franchise agree
ments. He said this should be
done by the industry without the
necessity of congressional action.
Although Senator O'Mahoney
and GIN President Harlow H.
Curtice had spent several days
fencing verbally over the various
issues raised. the hearings ended
in an atmosphere Of good will,
The Senator thanked both the
committee staff and the GIN
executives for cooperating in
developing the requested infor-
nation. and Mr.. Curtice said he
was glad to cooperate.
Earlier Subcommittee Counsel
Joseph w. Burns questioned Mr..
Curtice at length as to what ef-
feet it would have on the various
divisions of General Motors If
they were separated from the
parent company and operated
separately.
Would Lose Advantage
In each instance Mr.. Curtice
insisted they would lose the ad-
vantage Of the research, en-
Igineering and styling studies
which are constantly being car
Iried on by General Motors STATS,
He said these technicians are
hard to find. and it would take
ia long time to build up compar-
able separate stats for each GIN
activity, If they we're separated.
Mr.. Curtice said GIN does not
stay in any activity just for profit
If it feels it can no longer make
"a real contribution to the de-
Ivelopment of product.
Senator O'Mahoney said some
economists have suggested to the
subcommittee that the General
Motors Acceptance Corp. should
he separated completely from
GIN. because it is in IAN utterly
different business from GIN"
The Wyoming Senator also told
Mr.. Curtice that when the Gov
eminent instituted litigation
which required Standard Oil
to divorce itself into a number
of components" some people felt
that would be the end of develop
ment in the oil industry. But
the Senator said the result was
that some of the segments. grew
much bigger than the original
company.
Yes, and we take a great
deal of credit for that, for putting
the population on wheels. OBJ
served Mr.. Curtice.
Pointing out that GIN has $40
900 stockholders and 621 900 en-
ployes, Senator O'Mahoney told
Mr.. Curtice that what impreSses
me most about your company is
the financial power inseperable
from the organization."s
Mr.. Curtice commended that
those interested in GIN have no
guaranteed security unless they
work continuously to make their
products desirable.
Senator O'Mahoney said he
thought GIN should put a mag
nifying glass on itself" and see
whether the time has come for
GIN to say we are not going into
any more businesses that affect
local enterprise"

Split-Up Considered.
In their final questions to GIN
President Harlow H. Curtice las
night. however, both Senator
O'Mahoney and Subcommittee
Counsel Joseph w. Burns In
dicated they were thinking Of
the advisability of trying tt
make separate entities of some
of the varied divisions of GIN.
Much of the testimony this
week dealt with relations be.
tween GIN and its automobile
dealers, and Senator OMahoney
indicated one more hearing will
be held later this month to settle
conflicting testimony as to
whether several Chicago Chew
rolet dealers ever told an indie
pendent maker of car heaters
that they could not get new cars
from the factory without heat
ers already installed.

3. General Motors Vice Pres!-
dent C. r. Osborn testified that
General Motors succeeded in the
development of diesel locomotives
that have revolutionized rail-
reading against well-established
competitors. He said that as
late as the l940s these competi-
tors were saying that steam
power would remain dominant
on the railroads.
4. The National Independent
Automobile Dealers Association
through its counsel. Raymond

tee not to consider an exemption
from the antitrust laws under
which automobile manufacturers
could cancel the franchises OF
their dealers who might sell cars
to nonfranchised dealers. The
association said such law
would tighten the hold Of the

"Yes, the boys are out to cut
each others throats," Anderson
said, "but what record could any
of they offer to run on, after
all? Only the record of having been
the best treasury raiders since
Jesse James"
Anderson charged that further
chicanery had been barred in the
Elks high command. Grand Sec
rotary Hueston, he charged, had
wilfully refused to incorporate
three anti-administration legisla-
tive proposals into propositions
submitted to the Grand Lodge for
consideration.
All three were submitted by
Washington lodges, and submitted
in ample time for inclusion in the
printed proposals. Hueston's alihi
is that he didn't receive them.

proposals" Anderson said, che

doubt has been expressed as to the
likelihood of effecting workable
plan of voluntary segregation.
A spokesman for the commission
said that the state would run into
complex problems in attempting to
get rid of parks, since it owns only
seven of the so. The others were
donated with restricted clauses
which would return them to the
owners if the state ceased to ope-
rate them as parks.
Some of the agreements contain
specific clauses in reference to ra-
cial segregation within the parks.
The commission has set a hearing
for next week to discuss ways TO
prevent Indignation in the parks.
State parks in Maryland and Vir-
ginia have already been ordered
desegregated.
