Mitchell Sees
Leve|ing Off
In Initiation
Predicts Increase
In Unemployment
By Next Sprina
BY CECIL HOLLAND

Secretary of Labor Mitchell
said today signs indicate "a
leveling of" in the infiationary
spiral.
At the same time. the Secre-
tary predicted at a news con-
ference increased but not seri-
Gus unemployment next spring.
He said he expected the con-
sumer price index figures to
remain about the same In the
months ahead with those for
October little changed from
what they were in September.
End Of Persistent Rise
Mr.. Mitchell said he had not
seen the new index figures,
which his department will re-
lease tomorrow. But, he added.
"all signs point to an end Of a
persistent RISE"
In September the consumer
price index advanced to its 18th
consecutive record high and
stood at 1911 in comparison
with 1947-1949 prices. That
figure was "a per cent higher
than a year ago.
Mr.. Mitchell declined to esti-
mate the probable unemploy-
ment next spring but he said
he expected it would be more
than it was in 1857, and more
in next February than it was
in the comparable month this
year.
Unemployment last February
was 81 million and at present
is 2.5 million.
Not Serious, He Emphasizes
II don't think the unemploy-
ment in the spring of 1858
should give serious concern. T"
the Secretary emphasized.
He added there would be "a
serious situation" only when
the unemployment reached a
6 million figure.
MIR. Mitchell was asked if he
considered the leveling of of
the inflationary spiral "a good
sign" and replied:
zone of the problems has
been imitation. This would
seem to indicate a leveling of
of that spiral. In that respect,
1t is a good sign"
Silent on Indications
Mr., Mitchell refused to char
acterize his predictions as in
dicating a recession or adjust
ment" in the economic picture.
I'VE have enjoyed a high
level of employment and a low
level of unemployment. The
signs indicate a leveling of. I
do not expect in 1858 as low
level Of unemployment as in
1857. That is as far as I care
to go at this time"
He emphasized the present
2.5 million unemployed is a
low figure and attributed the
prospects for increased unem-
ployment to Cd decreased levels
of business activity and %
decreases in planning for cap
ital expenditures.

1.-THE purpose of this plan
would be threatened If q small
minority of lenders in using It
put an unreasonable burden on
the homeowner," the housing
chief added. ''In any Gov

the home buyer must be pro-

Mr.. Cole explained the pro-
posal this way:
On the sale Of a new $40, 900
house there might be a 10 per
cent down payment and a
$4,000 mortgage. Under the
present FILA program the Gov
eminent :nsures the whole
loan, thereby assuring the bank
or loan company that it will
get its money if the home
buver defaults.
To protect the Government
and the buyer, FILA conducts
an elaborate check of the credit
of the home purchaser, APP
praises the property. makes the
builder meet minimum quality
standards, and inspects the
completed structure.
Only 20 Per Cent Guaranteed
Under the new plan, the
Government would insure only
the last 20 per cent of the
$4,000. The lender would carry
the other 80 per cent Of the
risk. and would be obliged 10 ou

chaser.
The plan would help elimi-
nate the widespread practice OF
"discounting" mortgages, Mr.
Cole said.

a discount of 5 or 6 per cent

DC. Transit Tax
Ruling Upset
Appeals Court Gives
Chalk z Alternatives
BY GRACE BASSETT

/
The United States Court OF
Appeals has reversed a District
Court ruling that D. C. Transit
System. Inc, is liable for $780,
1000 in gross receipts taxes.
In handing down its ruling,
the Appeals Court gave Transit
President o. Roy Chalk two
alternatives.
In either case he must pay
the tax, under protest, if ne
wants to fight the Districts
fcIain.
Then he can either sue in
Federal Court for a refund or
ask the District Tax Court to
force the Commissioners to give
him back his money.
Mr.. Chalk received notice of
the decision yesterday as he
was negotiating a separate gas
tax exemption with the city.
Next Step Discussed
He sent his attorney, Harvey
Spear, into conference through
the afternoon with Corporation
Counsel Chester Gray on the
gross revenue matter. They
discussed the next step in this
DiStrict-Transit System dispute,
far from settled by the Appeals
Court.
It's judgment did not go into
the merits of the tax issue.
Instead, the Appeals Court
held that the company, in
effect, had asked the court for
tax relief prematurely. District
Court Judge Alexander Holtz-
of had accepted the request
but ruled D. c. Transit owed
the District the 100000.
For Year Ending August 1856
The tax was on transit COM

ending in August, 1856.

House Appropriations Subcom-

dicted today that the United
States will move soon and
much faster in output and
operations in that field.
Testimony his subcommittee
received from Army, Navy and
Air Force technical experts in
closed sessions this morning
caused him to tell reporters;

portant decisions will be made
without further delay.
I'VE have been delaying pro-
duction of missiles in quantity.
The problem of research and

and putting projects into OPP
Grafton it would not have mat
tered so much under peaceful
conditions. We could have
saved some money. But time
is of the essence, prestigewise
and from a military stand
point"
Mr.. Mahon did not retreat
from his earlier comments that
this country has Jagged behind
Soviet Russia in missile devel-
opments because of inter-
service rivalry and delays BY
the Pentagon in making basic
decisions.
"Inter-service rivalry will
always be problem under the
present structure and proce-
dures at the Pentagon." the

will rest to some extent on re-
visions the administration
itself can make.
Urges Faster Pace

sooner and get more for our
dollar"
The ranking Republican on
the subcommittee. Representa-
tive Wigglesworth of Massa.

hon that Congress probably
will have to provide more
money for missile research and
development during the cur
rent fiscal year as well as for

next July /. They nevertheless
emphasized that funds will
not be the bottleneck.
THE need now" Mr.. Mahon
insisted, sis that decisions must
be made to push forward more
rapidly. When I speak Of a
lag behind the Russians, I do
not mean so much a lag in our
efforts as the faster advances
by the Soviets in the satellite
and missile field"
Encouraged by Reports

ported that spokesman for the
three services gave a detailed

"Time for Decision"
The remarks arose from

corrected the impression
some reporters got that field
commanders might give the
order to use nuclear weapons
in retaliation against an
enemy's attack.
(The Secretary said there
is no new Interpretation Of
the American law providing
that only the President can
order the use Of atomic
weapons.
("All I said, Mr.. Dulles
explained. twas If somebody
shoots at an American in
uniform and the American
flag that American is going

Ives Hits Labor
Adviser Firms
Legislation Aimed
At Middle Men

Legislation that would ban
middle man" operations in
labor management relations
has been proposed by Senator
Ives. Republican Of New York.
Senator Ives said he would
offer the proposal as part Of
q legislative package at the
forthcoming session Of Con-
gress.
His proposal would hit at the
activities Of such management
representatives as Nathan w,
Shefferman and his firm of
Labor Relations Associates of
Chicago. shefferman was de-
scribed by the special Senate
Committee on Improper Labor
Management Practices as a
union buster. He invoked the
Fifth Amendment when ques-
toned by the committee about
his activities.
Three-Point Proposal
Senator Ives, who is vice
chairman Of the special COM
mittee and ranking Republican
on the labor subcommittee Of
the Senate Education and La
Dor Committee, said he also
would propose legislation:
l. To insure democracy in
labor organizations by requir-
ing secret votes.
2. To prevent misuse of union
funds by requiring public dis
closure of reports on union
finances, and penalties for fl
ing false reports.
3. To eliminate abuses re-
sulting from the so-called
stranger" picketing which, he
said, has been used by some
union leaders for extortion.
MY purpose is corrective,
not punitive" Senator Ives said
II am offering these proposals
now for the consideration of all
interested persons.
Two Other Bills introduced
The New York Republican
already has introduced two
bills which, with his new pro-
posal. the Senator said, will
provide a balanced program
designed to help labor and
management to protect them
selves against the odorous mi
nority of INSCRIPTIONS men in
both camps"
One of these bills would
undertake to eliminate a juris-
dictional mo mans land" be-
tween the National Labor Re-
lations Board and comparable
State labor agencies. The other
would require registration and
reporting of pension and well
fare funds.
Robert F. Kennedy, counsel
of the select committee, said
his staff has begun work on q
draft Of proposed legislation.
Parallel Proposals
Senator Ives proposals par
allel some Of those under study
by the administration.
However. Secretary Of Labor
Mitchell. at a news conferences
today, said the New York Re-
publican had not consulted
with the department on his
proposals.
The Secretary said he would
not comment on legislation
suggested by any member of
Congress. The labor legisla-
tive program that will be SUBJ
mitted to Congress in January
by President Eisenhower. the
Secretary added. will speak
for itself"
