Bri+on Raps
NATO Post


LONDON (JTA)-A former Brit
ish war minister voiced sharp pro-
test in the British House of Com
mons against the designation Of
Gen. Hans Speidel, Hitler's war
time chief of staff in France, as
commander of the ground forces
of the North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization. He objected to having
British troops placed under COM
mand of the ex-Nazi.
Emanuel Shinwell, war minister
in the Labor government, told the
House that there was no doubt at
all that until 1914, when he was
aSSertedly involved in a plot
against Hitler, General Speidel had
been an ardent supporter of the
Nazi creed.
In 1941, when he was associated
with the German occupation force
in Paris, Shinwell charged General
Speidel had some part in an order
given for the execution of a thou
sand alleged Communists and Jew
ish refugees.
Shinwell expressed surprise that
Britain had supported the appoint
ment Of General Speidel to the
NATO post. He said he objected
to any German general of any sort
or character or quality being in
command of British troops.
Under Secretary of State for War
Julian Amery defended the ap-
pointment, noting that it was made
at French suggestion and that
General Speidel would serve direct
ly under French commander.

Vote on zwicker
Expected Soon

Chairman Russell, Democrat
of Georgia. said today the Sen
ate Armed Services Committee
should reach a decision shortly
on the promotion of Army Brig.
Gen. Ralph w. Zwicker to major
general.
Senator Mccarthy. Republican
of Wisconsin. has been vigorously
opposing a promotion for Gen.
Zwicker as a result of clashes
in the my-McCarthy feud of
1854.
Another face-to-face encoun-
ter between the general and the
Senator had been set for today
before the Senate Armed Services
Committee. 1t was postponed
once more at request of commit
teeinen unable to be present.
Gen. Zwicker, now a permanent
colonel and a temporary briga-
dier. has been recommended by
the President for promotion to
permanent brigadier and tenn
porary major general.
Unless the committee and the
Senate act before June 30, Gen.
Zwicker could be retired from the
Army because his permanent
rank still is colonel after 80 years
service.
I There is no chance for that, -
Senator Russell said. We'll act
and the Senate will well ahead Of
then"

motion is holding UP a list Of So

to see II they would accept with
out q conference one minor
amendment. extending the exist
ing rates for is months instead
of year.
The only purpose Of this
change would be to have the
expiration date correspond with
the Government fiscal year in
1856.
Senator Flanders, Republican
of Vermont. first suggested that
the extension be for only three
months, in the hope that this
session of Congress might cut
the budget enough to justify
dropping some Of the excise taxes
on July /.
Mr.. Humphrey opposed such
Ia short extension, but indicated
he would agree to July / ex-
lpiration date in 1858.
BILL Continues Rates
The pending bill continues the

extends the Korean War excise
rates on a variety of goods and
services. including alcoholic bev-
erages. tobacco and automobiles.
Senators Fulbright of Arkansas
and Sparkman Of Alabama, both
Democrats. are leading the fight
for small business relief. They
have alternative proposals that
would lower the tax for small
concerns and raise the rates on
big corporations.

ChangeinT Taxes
Held Unlikely
BY J. A. O'LEARY

Although the Senate Finance
Committee has agreed to hear
witnesses for and against tax re-
lief for small business tomorrow
and Friday, the odds are strong
ly against any changes in tax
rates at this time.
The issue has been raised in
connection with a pending bill
to extend So billion of existing
corporation and excise taxes
which are due to expire April 1.
But Treasury Secretary Hum
phrey told the committee yes
terday it would be a mistake to
grant special tax relief to any
particular group until Govern
ment finances will make possible
a cut for all taxpayers.
He also reminded the Senators
that such general tax relief will
not be possible until Government
spending is reduced. He also
argued that special relief at this
time might postpone indefinitely
the day when it would be possible
to give all tax payers a reduction.
Time Element Vital
Even if the committee were
disposed to revise the corpora
ton tax schedule this year it
would be difficult to do it on this
extension bill which must be
enacted by the end Of next week.
The bill already has passed the
House, but any Senate changes
would necessitate delay in a joint
conference committee.
Senator Byrd, Democrat of
Virginia, finance chairman, said
he would consult House leaders

other corporation to notify Fed
eral agencies if the combined
assets of the two firms exceed
$40 million. A 60-day waiting
period then would be required
before the merger could be
effected.
Mr.. Wagner, chairman of
Champlin Oil & Refining Co.,
in Chicago. said the possibility
of mergers may play an impor-
tant part in the development of
small business; it is entirely
likely that many small business
ventures are launched today only
because the entrepreneurs know
that they will always have an
opportunity to sell on reasonably
favorable terms to another
member of the industry"
Mr.. Farley said the NAM is
convinced that any mandatory
waiting period which freezes the
relationship of the parties to a
proposed merged imposes a real
and unnecessary hardship on
business enterprises which must
make decisions and take action
when conditions are most
favorable p"

Mr.. Wagner said, If anyone
thinking of going into business
for himself knew that an ad-
vantageous sale of the business
at some future date could be
forestalled at the whim of a
Government bureau"
The NAM viewpoint was
offered by Ernest w. Farley. jr.,
president of the Richmond (Va.)
Engineering Co. Inc. He said in
a prepared statement that re-
ouiring notice of mergers would
seriously handicap businessmen
without offering a compensating
advantage to the Government.
The bill under subcommittee
consideration would amend the
Clayton Antitrust Act to require

That years Of practice and ex-

of this kind is especially crafty
ing to those who know of the many
hours that Marlene has spent paint
ing and drawing. Although in the
past year she has been working
with the thought Of competing for
scholarship, the real reasons for
Marlene's success are a deep-rooted
curiosity about methods and tech
niques and the true artist or crafts
mans desire to create something
beautiful.

Postman Plea
For Change In
Wage Schedule

Everyone talks about the mail
service but no one does anything
about it.
( How often have you heard the
above statement.
Many will say too often-others
, shear it all the time"
The affiliated organizations OF
the Government Employees Coun-
ell of Greater Cleveland which
includes your postman are acting
now.
BY this time, most homes have
received a printed announcement
and a detachable post card.
1t is designed to speak for your
postman in Washington.
! In part, here is what the ''plea
from your postman" says:
"a crisis under the guise of
economy is endangering your
postal service. Although we are
anxious to improve postal stand
ards, it will depend upon you to
demand the service you have the
right to expect. We know that you
want your mail daily and on time" "
Gradual deterioration of the
postal service is inevitable unless
we act promptly"
with the tremendous turnover
in the Cleveland Postal personnel,
due to many unsatisfactory condi-
tions, it is difficult to give good,
prompt, daily service. In the past
six months approximately 1900
persons were hired in the Cleve-
land Post Office, and more than
900 persons left during the same
period"
"The Hoover Comission recon-
mends an adequate wage increase
to reduce this costly turnover.
Over 1920 of our employees have
part time jobs, or their wives must
WOIh W aug odldi1Co'
From our point of view, we've
had numerous experiences with
postal service.
To often we've heard complaints
from our readers because they
sent in notices only to find they
missed being published. Your
complaints on this have caused us
to check with postal authorities
on why the slow delivery, espe-
cially when some items are sent
from just a few blocks away.
The answer we have received
often inexperienced help"
Your prompt attention to the
"Postman's Plea" could help speed
up the service of the post office

Recommendations for improve

Otto Swancar, who directs the
survey, pointed out today.
Suggestions applying to proper
ty on one street might not be
applicable if the property were
situated in a less prosperous area,
he emphasized.
Local outdoor housecleaning has
been receiving added impetus this

character is a lot more than
