Reds Execute Ex-Premier
OF Azerboijon Republic

MOSCOW, May 20 (F).-The
former Prime Minister of Aver
baijan and three other top Off
Gals of that Caucasian republic
have been executed for treason
and counterrevolutionary activ-
ity, it was disclosed today.
The four officials were ac-
cused of being accomplices Of
former Soviet Police Boss Law
renty Beria.
The newspaper Baku Worker,
which reached Moscow today,
said they had been charged with
"terroristic acts"
The chief defendant in the
trials, which the newspaper said
was held publicly in Baku be-
tween April IL and April 26, was
identified as NJ. D. Bagirov, for
mer secretary of the Azerbaiian
Communist Party, the chairman
of the Council of Ministers of
the Azerbaijan Republic.
Dismissed in 1853
Bagirov was made an alter
nate mmeber of the presidium
of the Communist Party of the
Soviet Union in March, 1858
Immediately after Stains death
Long considered in the Soviet
Union to be a close collaboration
of Beria. he fell a few weeks
after Beria himself was arrested.
On July Is, 1858, Moscow radio
announced that he had been dis
missed as Premier of Azerbaijan
1t simply said he had been
guilty of gross bureaucracy.
Bagirov had been for many
years the Communist Party
chieftain in the Soviet republic
on the Caspian Sea which has
as its capital the oil metropolis
| of Baku, where Beria attended
school in his youth before the
revolution.
No Word From Moscow
The indictment as published
jim the Baku newspaper said Bag
irov and his accomplices were
guilty of treason, of using i'm
proper methods of police investi-
!gation, of setting the state Sc
lcurity organs against the gov
iernment and the Communist
Party, and Of counter-revolu-
tionary activity.
There has been no word of the
trial or execution in the Moscow
press or over the radio.
The brief report in the Baku
newspaper was in the form of an
announcement from the military

of the USSR.

Pay Deductions
Denied
Federal Employees
Health Plan Affected
BY JOSEPH YOUNG

The Controller General has
ruled that Federal agencies can
not make payroll deductions for
health insurance or other out
side purposes. it was learned
today.
Controller General Joseph
Campbell made the decision in
"a letter to Attorney General
Brownell. Mr.. BiCwnell had
asked permission for the Justice
Department to make payroll de-
Iduction on payments of its en-
ployes to the Special Agents
Mutual Benefit Association.
Specific Legislation Needed
The benefit association is
composed of FBI agents and
clerical employees and provides
through an underwriting insur-
lance company, disqualification
and surgical insurance for the
employees and their families.
The Controller General said
that specific legislation for such
payroll deductions would have
to be enacted by Congress and
signed into law by the President
before it could be allowed.
Mr.. Campbell said the only
type of payroll deductions that
can presently be allowed are
those for Federal income taxes
certain State income taxes. the
Federal employe group life in
surance program. civil service
retirement contributions. etc.
Decision Seen Significant
The Controller General noted
that payroll deductions are not
authorized for such things as
union dues and charity contri-
buttons and consequently would
not be permitted for health in
surance plans
Mr.. Campbell's decision was
considered especially significant
since the administrations major
health insurance proposal foi
Federal workers was unveiled re-
Gently. The various private
health insurance groups are
seeking to have a voluntary pay
roll deduction feature put in the
plan for Federal workers who
now have basic policies in these
companies. This would require
specific legislation under the de-
cision made by the Controller
General.

Auto Job Benefits Held
|ncome> Not Wages
Supplemental
Payment Plan
Path Cleared
Inv LANES Y. NEWTON

The Government ruled today
that new supplementary unem-
ployment benefits to be paid job
less workers in the automobile
industry are not to be regarded
as wages subject either to with
holding or social security taxes.
But Internal Revenue Com
missioner RUSSELL c. Harrington
stated that workers who receive
the supplementary benefits must
report them as non-wage income
on their annual returns and pay
tax on them.
The plans under which State
unemployment compensation
benefits are supplemented by
payments from company trust
funds go into effect at General
Motors, Ford and Chrysler on
Friday, and at the other auto
companies later in the year.
Sought in Steel Industry
More than a million workers
ALREADY are covered under such
Iunion-negotiated plans, and the
SUB system is a major demand
in steel industry contract nego-
tiations which opened yesterday
| in Pittsburgh.
Mr.. Harrington's ruling was
hailed as victory for the spon-
sors of the supplementary plans.
Eighteen States and the Dis
trict of Columbia have ruled so
far that the extra unemployment
benefits are not wages and hence
will not prevent the workers
from receiving regular State un-
employment compensation.
Had the Federal Government
regarded the extra benefits as
wages for tax purposes it might
have caused the States to deny
Ijobless workers the regular COM
pensation payments.
Arthur Larson, Undersecretary
of Labor, said that a ruling by
internal Revenue treating the
benefits as wages might have
torpedoed the whole supplements
AIRY unemployment benefit move
ment."
Such supplementary plans
have been spreading since the
United Automobile Workers won
their plans in bargaining with
automakers a year ago.
Sees Spur to Program
Mr.. Larson said no one seri-
ously believed the benefits would
not be held to be taxable income.
An official of the AFL-CIO
said Mr.. Harrington's ruling
should spur the movement to
have all the States approve the
supplementary plans For ex-
ample. he said, ruling on the
matter is due in Wisconsin this
week.
The plans are designed to sup
plement State compensation
systems to provide the iobless
with up to 65 per cent of take
home pay for their first four
weeks of unemployment, and so
per cent for the next % weeks
if they are still out of work.
Most State laws prohibit a
worker from drawing jobless pay
ments if he is receiving wages.
State rulings that SUB bene-
fits would not be regarded as
wages were necessary to allow
receipt of both Government aud
private aid at the same time.

Senate Passage
OF Highway Bill
Expected Today
Wage Amendment
Approved in House
To Get First Test
BY ]. A. O'LEARY

Senate leaders hope to pass
the multi billion dollar highway
bill late today, but with changes
that will require compromise
negotiations with the House.
Meeting at 10 am. with a
limitation on debate, Senators
expected the first test to come
early on restoring to the Senate
bill the requirement already in
the House measure to pay Fed
eral wage standards on the
building of the interstate high
way system.
Senator Byrd, Democrat of
Virginia, charged that the wage
amendment will tend to increase
the cost of all State and county
road work and result either in
fewer miles of completed high
ways, or further tax increases in
future years.
Expect Plan to Win
Informed sources predicted
however, that support in both
parties would put the amend
ment over by margin of from
IL to 20 votes.
Other major issues to be
settled before final passage are
/. Whether to apportion the
Federal money for completing
the interstate system according
to the needs in each State, as in
the House bill, or by the existing
law. which bases each States
share on its population, area anc
mileage of post roads.
2. Whether to regulate truck
weights on a per-axle-load basis
as in the House bill. or by size
as well as weight as in the Sen
ate bill.
Will Try to Drop Pay-GO Plan
A move also is expected tc
strike from the Senate bill a
provision designed to guarantee
a pay-as-you-go system. II
would prevent expenditure in
any one year of more Federal
money than is in the special
highway tax fund that year.
The two houses are in agree
ment on authorizing SIS billion
of Federal money to cover 90
per cent of the cost of finishing
the 4O,000-mile interstate sys-
tenn within IS years. The States
would put up another $2.5 bill
lion to cover their 10 per cent.
There are substantial differ
ences between the two houses in
the rate of progress that should
be made on other types of high
ways, known as the primary
secondary and urban systems.
For these roads, the Senate
bill would spend 5000 million
annually for the next five years
The House would start with $72s
million the first year and in
crease that amount by $25 mil
lion each year for IL years.
If future Congresses continued
to make available for Is years
the figures, in either bill fol
these secondary roads. the en-
tire highway program woulc
cost $51.5 billion in Federal anC
State funds.
Both bills also include in
creased motor vehicle taxes Il
meet the expanded construction
program, but the Senate meas
ure changes details of the ta1
program.
One of the chief difference!
is over how to tax the weight
of big trucks. The House bill
would apply a tax of 81 so pei
1000 pounds on the full weight
of trucks over $4,000 pounds
The Senate changed the rate tt
$3.50 per 1000 pounds applied
only to the weight in excess o.

Replacement of Burmese
Prime Minister U M, an inde-
pendent, by Deputy Prime Minis
ter U Ba Swe, a Socialist, is not
seen here as a signal for any
great change in Burma's policies,
either internal or external.
Burma is expected to resist
alliances and to continue in its
wariness toward United States
aid. American negotiations for
the purchase of Burmese rice to
send to famine-ridden Pakistan
are expected to be completed
soon, unhindered by U NUS
resignation yesterday. If the deal
goes through, Burma will be
paid for the rice in services of
American technicians. whose
salaries will be paid by this
country.
Deny Resignation Speculation
Washington Observers tend to
discount early reports from Ran
COON that U M quit because his
neutralist policies have failed.
Nor do they see any connection
between his resignation and the
activities of Soviet and Red
Chinese embassies in Rangoon.
Both these speculations we're
printed first in a Burmese news
paper, Nation" in an anony-
nous letter purporting to reflect
the views of U M. The Burmese
government denied the reports
the next day.
In any event, U NUS resigna-
ton will have little effect on
Burmese government policy. U
Ba SWe has served as deputy
prime minister for some time.
Past government decisions have
represented a composite of the
views of the Socialist Party,
which U Ba Swe heads, and a
group of independents who form
a coalition called the Anti Fas-
cist Peoples Freedom League.
