Liberty Being Weighed
For Poet Ezra Pound
BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG
star star writer

A decision is near on the
twin questions Of freeing Poet
Ezra Pound Of treason charges
and releasing him from st.
Elizabeths Hospital, 1t was
learned yesterday.
One ofI1cial close to the case
of the controversial poet said
discussions have gone further
than ever before. He said the
whole matter is at the boil
ing point"
An apparently effective
|pleader for Pounds cause has
been Robert Frost, Americas
leading poet, who recently
talked with Attorney General
Rogers about the case.
Mr.. Frost's argument:
AS a matter Of justice to this
country and its reputation in
the world. one of its leading
poets should not die in a men,
tai hospital.
Actually, at 70, Pound is re-
ported in good physical condi-
ton. He played tennis regu-
larry last summer and pre-
sumably will play again when
the weather warns up.
Pound. indicted with seven
other Americans on treason
charges in July, 1943. was taken
into custody in 1945 and. In
February, 1916, was sent to st.
Elizabeths T5aGpital after jury
found him Of unsound mind
and unfit for trial.
Since then, there have been
periodic demands for an end
to his confinement. To extricate
him, these decisions would have
to be made: 4
First, Attorney General Rog-
ers would have to decide to
recommend dismissal Of the
treason indictment.
Second, Chief Judge Bolitha
j. Laws Of District Court here,
who committed Pound to the
mental hospital after the jury
verdict. would have to agree to
the dismissal.
Third, DR.. Winfred Overhol-
ser, superintendent of st. Eliz-
abeths, would have to decide
after the charges were dropped
that Pound would not be q

the United Nations on resuming

"distorting" the United States

Exasperated State Depart
ment officials expressed doubt
that the Soviet Union, for all
its protestations, really wants
serious discussions on disarma-
ment or a relaxation Of ten
Sions.
Despite these actions, how
ever, there was some sense Of
movement in the direction of
negotiations for a summit
meeting.
State Department officials
were attaching some signifi-
canoe to an official statement
from Bonn that West Germany
would not insist on including
Identification in the summit
agenda, if it we're restricted to
only a few items.
Outer Space Issue
This apparently open the way
for the West to remove the
issue from the summit agenda,
as the Soviet Union wants to do,
Another mildly encouraging
sign was a Soviet elaboration
on its plans for international
control of outer space. The
United Nations was prominently
mentioned as Q supervisory
agency in prohibiting military
operations in space and con-
Quoting peaceful explorations.
The weekend furry on dis
armament and other policies

conference is arranged started

or so. The basic question IS
whether to risk the danger of
secret Soviet violations Of a
test ban and go ahead with ne
gotiations on United States
terms so drastically modified
that they will make agreement
likely.
Summit Talks Seen
The negotiations, according
to present official thinking.
would very likely come to a
climax in an East-West sum-
NIT conference.
The past week has brought
out some highly contradictory
opinions on whether it is in the
United States interest to agree
with the Soviets on suspending
tests. But high officials now
believe that, in spite of a rear
guard fight by Atomic Energy
Commission advocates of con-
tinuing tests, the President will
order the radical modification
of United States policy neces-
sary to halt them-providing
Russia accepts minimum con-
ditions.
To help determine this coun-
try's course, he will have before
him the result Of a special
study directed by his science
adviser. DR.. James r. Killian,
jr. Undertaken on orders from
the National Security Council,
the study seeks to estimate the
impact Of test suspension on
United States security.
Defeat for Teller
The Killian Office has been
consulting leading scientists
from all over the country. A
major question facing 1t is
whether an inspection system
to police a test moratorium can
be made reliable.
The expected decision by the
President to change United
States policy and bring 1t
closer to Russia's demands for
a virtually unconditional ban
on nuclear testing would mean
a defeat for crusading scientist
Edward Teller.

Business Tax
Boost Proposed
For Arlington
Privilege. Levies
Offered to Obviute
Realty, Auto Boosts
BY SAM EASTMAN
Star stan Writer

A steep increase in Arlington
County business privilege taxes
has been proposed to Offset any
need for higher real estate and
personal property levies.
The proposal made yesterday
by David L. Krupsaw of the
Arlington County Board calls
for a maximum rate of 81 per
500 on revenue or purchases,
depending on the type of busi-
ness.
The present business levy
ranges from Z cents per 500 for
wholesale merchants to SIS cents
for professional people.
The board agreed to adver-
tise the 81 maximum rate for
all businesses, although Mr..
Krupsaw said not all busi-
nesses would go to the maxi
mum under his proposal. Some
would remain the same, while
at least one category would be
reduced, he declared.
Indirect Tax
If his plan is adopted, it is
expected businesses would pass
the higher taxes on to con-
sumers which, in effect, would
amount to imposition of an in
direct sales tax.
The higher business tax is
one Of four alternative pro-
posals the County Board agreed
to advertise for public hearings
to finance county and school
budgets totaling $26.6 million.
The other alternatives are:
The board may use a combina-
ton of any of the proposals to
produce the needed revenue.
/. A 28-cent increase in the
real estate and personal prop
erty rates, plus an increase
from IS to $40 in the cost of
county automobile tags.
2. A Accent increase in the
real estate and personal prop
erty rates, without any other
tax increases.
8. An increase in the motel
and hotel tax from 10 cents
per 500 of gross revenue to 50
on the same amount of rev.
enue. also suggested by Mr..
KrupSaw.
The board received proposed
budgets of $751; million from
County Manager A. T. Iiund-
berg. and $11.5 million from
the School Board.
