81 Ruling Lets State Tax
Some Service HOUSING

The high courts decision was
in a Nebraska case and upheld a
ruling by the Supreme Court OF
that State. Presumably it would
apply, under similar circum-
stances, to such housing in
other States.
The Supreme Court was in
formed during arguments on the
case that more than $4,000
dwelling units of that kind have
been built under the Wherry Act
in various States.
Justice Frankfurter observed
that Congress. in passing the
Wherry Act. was somewhat am
biguous as to authority for State
taxation.
ITO that end we must resort
to whatever aids to interpreta-
ton the legislation in its entirety
and its history provide" Justice
Frankfurter said. I'VE have con-
cluded that the States were
to be permitted to tax private
interests in housing projects To-
Gated on areas subject to Fed
eral power of exclusive legisla-
ton. We do not hold that Con-
greSs has relinquished this power
over these areas. We hold only
the Congress, in the exercise of
this power, has permitted such
State taxation as is involved in
the present case"

He kept all his wives and they
followed him in death until
today only Topay remains with
her rich memories.
There is still a child in the
house - six-year-old Betty Sue

Topay moves in quieter sur
roundings than when an esti-

birth to six sons and daughters

from treaty land. She is deeply
concerned over a plan by the
Army to extend firing ranges at
nearby Fort Sill. She fears ex-
pansion may include the Post

The Army hasn't taken the
land yet. and Wednesday Topay

By ROBERT X. WALSH

The Supreme Court ruled s.
to-4 today that a State may tax
military housing built and oper-
ated by private firms on Fed
orally owned land.
The opinion delivered by JUS
tice Frankfurter drew a dissent
by Justices Douglas, Reed, Bur-
ton and Harlan. They protested
that taxation by local authori-
ties of a housing tproject is one
sure way of increasing its costs
and hampering the Federal pro-
gram" They noted that the ma
jority opinion dealt with such
projects built under the Wherry
Act. which Congress passed in
l949 principally to provide mex
pensive housing for military per-
sonnet and their families.

/ The Democrats beat the Re.
publicans to the draw in Offer
ing the Bacon-Davis prevailing
wage amendment to the multi
billion dollar highway bill as the
Senate began debate on the
measure today.
Senator Kuchel, Republican of
California, announced last week
he would take the lead in fight
to apply Federal wage standards
to work on the Interstate sys-
tenn. But Senator Chavez, DEM
locrat of New Mexico. was recoe-
Inized first, as chairman of the
Public Works Committee.
After he had offered the
amendment, Senator Capehart,
Republican of Indiana, an
nounced he had similar
amendment ready to send to
the desk, and asked Senator
Chavez if he could become a
co-sponsor.
Sure" replied the New Mex
leo Democrat. II want every.
body to Join"
Lehman Adds Support
Senator Lehman. Democrat
of New York. said he also would
like to have his name put on
the amendment,
Indications are that the
amendment will carry with BIZ
partisan support. 1t is already
in the House bill. but the Sem
ate eliminated it last year.
Senator Cotton, Republican of
New Hampshire. offered another
amendment today to prohibit
gas stations and other CONNER
cial establishments on land in
side the right of way of the
interstate system. He said he
wanted to prevent monopolies
in concession rights.

gas stations and eating places
would have to acquire land adj

location could be controlled
Through the granting of author
ity by highway officials for the
necessary driveways connecting
with the highway.
No Big Votes Before Tomorrow
!. Senate leaders said no i'm
! portant votes on the highway
bill may be taken before to-
morrow when they hope to pass
the bill.
Other major fights involve:
/. The formula for ahocating
to the States the $25 billion of
Federal money to be spent on
the Interstate system.
2. How far to go in regulating
the dimensions of heavy trucks
using the Interstate system and
how to apply new weight tax
to these trucks.
] Senator Gore. Democrat Of
Tennessee, will lead the fight
for the Senate version of the
highway program, while Chair

Center Parties
Lead in Italy
First Returns Favor
Pro-Western Bloc

ROME, May % (P).-Italy's
center parties took
"a substantial lead over the Com
munisu-Socialist left today in
fragmentary early returns from
nationwide local elections.
The figures were so scattered,
however, they could not be inter-
preted as a firm trend.
In 1874 of the 48,313 voting dis
tricts the Christian Democrats
won 200 votes, the Commu-
nists 26,207 and the Socialists
1851. The total pro-WeStern
center bloc had 103,3O9 compared
with 45.768 for the far left and
30.191 for the far right.
The results included areas in
the extreme north of Italy, where
the left is weak.
Turnout Is Heavy
First scattered returns from
Sicily gave the Christian DEM
ocrats 2,283 votes to 1,214 for a
Communist Socialist combine
and 1870 for a center-right al
lance.
The voting turnout in the
elections, watched as test of
West European reaction to Mos
cows new co-existence line, was
heavy. 1t was estimated 80 per
cent of those eligible may have
cast ballots. This circumstance
seemed to favor the center par
ties.
At stake was control of 6,587
community and provincial coun-
ellis from the Alps to Sicily, local
posts in 563 other communities
and provincial governments in
533. The candidates totaled
313,60l.
Voting finished in the Tyrol
and Sicily last night. 1t went
on today in the rest of Italy
until midafternoon.
Gains in Trent
Tyrolean Trent, the first prov
ince to report. showed strong
gains by both the Christian
Democrats of Premier Antonio
Segni and the Communist allied
Socialists of Pietro Nenni. The
area long has been a Christian
Democrat stronghold.
The Catholic Church's inter-
est in an anti-Communist VIC
tory, voiced repeatedly by the
Vatican newspaper l'Osservatore
Romano, was evidenced by the
thousands of nuns and priests
among the voters.

instruments indicated the United
States set off another hydrogen
blast at Bikini today comparable

with an estimated force of more
than 10 million tons of TINT.
Earth Shock Recorded
A "super-sensitive" seismo-

northwest of Tokyo, recorded
earth shock nearly three hours
ahead of the air gauge readings,
