Martin Sees
Cut in Tuxes
Next Year

TROY. N. Y, April % (P.-
House Republican Leader Joseph
Martin says Americans "can lock
forward to a reduction" in their
taxes next year.
But tax cut is unlikely this
year. he said last night at q
dinner of the Rensselaer, County
Republican committee.
Mr.. Martin steered clear OF
Democratic predictions that Con-
.gress will reduce taxes. to take
effect January /.
"Peole know from past ex-
perience," he said. that Repub-
Ilicans carried out tax reduction
promises in the 80th and 83d
Congresses lin the face OF a
Democratic tax-boosting hinge
that lasted for over a decade"
Mr.. Martin said a tax reduc-
ton will not only provide a
shot in the arm to our economy,
but it will stimulate increased
tax revenues for continued eco
nomic expansion. Many of the
excise taxes are not only a nui-
sance. but they actually retard
prosperity"
Mr.. Martin blamed demands
for new services from "the home
folks" for high taxes and the
big Government budget. which
he termed too high"

Two physicists at the United

tory in Silver Spring, Md. have
made discoveries that may help
put smaller. better, and cheaper

The laboratory reported that
DR.. Richard L. Petritz and Dr.. 4
Jay N. Zemel have found a way
to measure the movement Of
electrical current across the sur
face of germanium, one of the
never nonmetallic elements.
Germanium, the laboratory
explained. is an essential element
in the production of transistors.

TranSistors are smaller and

spokesman said.
But one of the difficulties en-

Their achievement, the lab re-

The Justice Department today
asked the Senate judiciary
Committee to kill a bill which
would freeze further public sales
of seized alien property pending
congressional review of pro-
posals to return these assets to
their former owners.
Deputy Attorney General VIII.
liam p. Rogers made the appeal
in letters to Chairman Eastland
Democrat of Mississippi, anc
Senator Wiley. Republican OF
Wisconsin. the ranking @. o. p
member Of the committee.
Mr.. Rogers in effect asked fol
reconsideration of the favorable
action on the bill voted by the
full committee last week. The
committee has not yet reported
its action to the Senate.
The legislation approved by
the committee is sponsored by
Senator's Dirksen, Republican Of
Illinois. and Johnston, Democrat
Iof South Carolina.
Seized During World War ii
Mr.. Rogers described the bill
as IAN attempt to freeze the
status of General Aniline g. Film
Corp. pending continuing at
tempts to change our national
policy. to permit the return
|of the vested stock interest
therein.
The Deputy Attorney General
said the alien property Office fol
the last four years has been ex-
pediting liquidation of seized
former enemy assets in an effort
to get the Government out OF
business enterprises which, he
said. should properly be under
private ownership and control. y
The Government seized 81 per
cent Of General Aniline's stock
as German-owned during World
War II. The matter has been in
litigation since the end OF the
war. The Swiss company I. G.
Chemie, also known as Inter-
handel, made an unsuccessful
fight in the courts to establish
that it was the owner of the
seized stock, and that the seizure
was illegal.

handers individual stockholders
have brought new court action.

that the District must have had
some doubt about the validity of
the regulation or it would have
acted against Ulrey sooner.
Juge Tickling asked if Mr.,
Miller was making a defense out
of the fact that the District did
mot do anything about the Ulrey
case sooner and Assistant Cor
poration Counsel Clark King told
the court that the District had
tried for some time to get Ulrey
to comply before filing action
against him.
Answering Mr.. Miller's con-
tention that nothing had been
brought out against the home,
Mr.. King said the Government
would have welcomed an OPP
portunity ito tell just how bad
it was but refrained because ii
was not germaine to the issue
of operating a convelescent home
without license.
Questioned on Setup
Mr.. King questioned Ulrey
about the corporate setup of
the Sunset Home and the Ma
tional Welfare League. Ulrey
said that he was the president,
that his son was the vice presi-
dent andAsthat his wife was Sec
retary- treasurer of the Sunset
Home. As for the National Well
fare League, he said he was the
president. his wife was vice
president and his son was Sec
rotary treasurer.
Under questioning by Defense
Attorney Harry Ahern. Ulrey
said that he had notified officials
in January that he was going
TO close the home. Mr.. King
brought out on croSs-examina-
ton that the lease on the place
was a l0-year lease starting on
November /. 1851 with a rental
of $3.50 a month.
Ulrey denied testimony of Dis
trict Government inspectors that
several residents of the home
were under restraints and that
five or six Of the residents were
so helpless that they had to be
served their meals in bed. He
insisted that all the residents
could take care OF themselves.
He said he had reduced the num-
Der Of inmates from 81 to FIVE.
Mr.. King told the court that
no matter what Ulrey called the
Sunset Home. it was still a con-
valescent home under the Com
missioners' definition. Under
the definition. he said. when a
lodging house is operated for a
consideration for more than
