not clear the House until some
time next week.
After it reaches the Senate,
the trade agreements bill must
be subjected to Finance Com
mittee hearings. But no serious
harm will result if the extern
sion bill does not pass by
July /, since the existing trade
agreements would remain in
effect. Renewal of the law on
a later date would only delay
negotiation of any new agree
mentS.
The drive to get rid of the
transportation taxes. especially
on freight, has drawn much of
its strength from a recon-
mendation by the Senate Inter-
state and Foreign Commerce
Committee. That committee
recently studied the financial
problems of common carriers,
especially the railroads, and
recommended repeal of both
the freight and passenger
taxes.
Senator Smathers. Democrat
of Florida. a member of both
the Commerce and Finance
Committees, has argued that
repeal of the freight tax might
result in a small increase in
Treasury collections rather
than a loss.
He told the Senate recently
that while the freight ta1
brought in $468 million in the
1857 fiscal year, this repre-
sented a clear gain of only S22:
million for the Treasury wher
allowances were made for the
fact that this tax is deductablt
from income as a business ex'
penSe.

Burdick Plans
To Press Suit
For AnnuIment
BY the Associated Press

Representative Burdick. Re-
publican of North Dakota. 70,
said yesterday his estranged
30-year-old wife, Jean, wants
to make an out-of court settle
ment of their brief marriage
but I do not intend to agree
to that"
81 want the court to rule on
the matter" Mr.. Burdick said.
At the same time the Con-
gresham said he intends to
push his own suit for annul-
ment of their marriage, filed in
Cass County IN. d. District
Court, as soon as papers can
be served upon her.
Mr.. Burdick said he has not
seen or talked to Mrs. Burdick
since she moved out of their
home in Southeast Washington
about a month ago.
His attorney, he said, cannot
find where she is staying to
serve notice of the annulment
suit but believes she is some
where in Washington.
Mr.. Burdick and the former
Jean Rodgers Jackman, a di-
vorcee, were married February
% in Arlington, soon after he
left Bethesda Naval Hospital
where he had been seriously i'll
for more than two weeks.
Since their marriage Mr.
Burdick spent another two
weeks in a Washington hospital
where he was again seriously
/ i'll with a lung congestion.
/ Mrs. Burdick filed suit about
two weeks ago in the domestic
relations branch of Municipal
Court here. She wants her hus-
band to give her 500 a week
for temporary support until Q
decision is handed down in hel

tenance. She contended she

heavily industrialized harhor
community, which is actually
part of Los Angeles.
w. Richard Meyers, director
of the Wilmington Community
Center. said the parents were
being punished for something
beyond their control.
If the children are guilty of
a curfew violation they should
be punished. not the parents"
/ Mr.. Meyers said. 1.-THE parents
have virtually no control over
these youngsters"
! A Wilmington attorney, rep
resenting three parents who
pleaded not guilty to identical
charges on which the others
were Jailed, denounced the ar
rests as directed against min
ority groups. All families in
volved are Mexican-American.
( A jury trial for the three
who pleaded not guilty will be
held June 80.
Those who were jailed pleaded
guilty. They we're sentenced
| to so days in Jail, but Judge
Lawler suspended So days and
placed the parents on two years
probation. This means they
could be sent back for the rest
of the sentence if their children
are involved in further viola
tons within the next two years.
As for the parents, who were
released at 6 am. of their Sec
ond day in jail, and thus ac-
tually spent about 10 hours in
confinement, they generally
shared the view of the judge
who sentenced them.
Their attitude was summed
up by Mrs. Isabel Perez, 80,
mother. of a l7-year-old boy,
who said:
Il am not ashamed of this,
and it may make my boy more
aware of his responsibilities to
society and the law and par
ents' orders"

Sees Time Factor

Senator Gore, Democrat of
Tennessee, also a finance men,
Der, originally favored a public
works program to stimulate
business recovery. But he said
yesterday he now feels that this
late in the session some revi-
sion of excise taxes is the only
step Congress has time to take.
He still favors preparing plans
for public works which could
be authorized at the 1859 ses-
sion, if still needed.
The transportation tax is not
among those requiring extern
sion, but it has figured promi-
nently in the current debate
over possible tax revision.
With a dozen or more major
issues still facing them, Sena-
tors face the prospect of long
hours and Saturday sessions
from now until adjournment
which is not expected before
early August.

this week whether to grant re-

The House, responding to adj

rates without change.
The transportation tax is 10
per cent on passengers and 3
per cent on freight. 1t was not
clear from yesterdays reports

But 1t is believed that move
to get rid of the freight tax
would command the greatest
strength.

If the committee makes this

officials, including President
Eisenhower, we considered seri-
ously the prospect of trying to

decided that such a move would

matter. and that We could not

with it.
Cites Deterrents
Mr.. Dulles cited as deter
rents to gaining such a cheap
and easy propaganda advan-
tage, a free press, enlightened
public opinion, an alert politi-
cal opposition, and our allies.
He never said that any one of
these agents would have in
hibited us from stopping tests
II we decided to. He just said
that If we declared we would
and didn't mean 1t, they would
properly Jump on us.
The possibility of cessation
has been under consideration
for the last two or three years
even before Adlai Stevenson
hammered on 1t as a campaign
issue in l956-but Mr.. Dulles
gave no hint why it was de-
feated in these high counsels.
Mr.. Dulles looked thoroughly
annoyed when someone asked
If we might now be considering
calling of our projected sum-
mer nuclear tests.
There is no though to put
ting them off," he said shortly.
A reporter asked If in the
face of this concentration on
clean little bombs. we would If
we would use big dirty bombs
in massive retaliation"
That is a phrase Mr.. Dulles
plainly wishes he had not
coined. He said stiffiy we
would never initiate an attack.
but that If we were attacked
We would respond in kind.
And that was the extent Of
his retaliation to the hobgob-
Inns in the Kremlin.

change in the potato picture
despite reports to the con-

growers to cut their acreage
much more than they did.
If they had followed Gov

would have produced far fewer
potatoes than are actually on

Meat

The 1856 drought forced
cattlemen to sell of their herds
for lack Of feed. In rebuilding
their herds and taking advan-
tage Of good grass and plenty
of feed in the corn belt, the
cattlemen held their steers
longer.
The feed-lot operators, who
took a beating last year, put
fewer animals on feed, aware
that if fewer were available,
prices would be better.
Now, with prices high. they
are rushing the steers to mar
ket so fast that stores face a
problem in getting enough top
grade meat.
Buyers here tell the story
of one feed-lot operator who
bought 100 steers in December.
fed them the required 40 days
and sold them in February.

head.
Another operator boosted

them up and sold 100 of them,

to pay for feeding all Of them.
