Khrushchev Rejects
Identification Farley
Says Issue
Is Germuns'
To Settle

MOSCOW. Feb. "a (AP).-
Premier Nikita Khrushchev,
emerging from two days of
talks with British Prime Min
lister Macmillan, today threw
cold water on the Vests plan
for a four-power meeting on
Germany.
Mr.. Khrushchev told a polit-
ical rally in the Kremlin that
the Soviet Union, the United
States, Britain and France
cannot discuss German reuni-
fication because "this is a ques-
ton for the two German states
themselves"
A four-power meeting at the
Foreign Ministers level, as
suggested by the West, might
increase instead of reduce in
ternational tension, Mr.. Khru-
shchev declared.
Mr.. Khrushchev conceded
that the four powers could dis
cusS prevention of militarism
in West and East Germany.
But he then re-stated the So
Wet thesis that identification
should be settled only by the
Germans themselves.
Repeats Earlier Proposal
The Premier also repeated
the Soviet proposal for a con-
ference of heads of government
of all those nations that waged
war against Hitler in World
War II to work out a treaty
with Germany.
The Western powers rejected
this proposal in their recent
notes calling for Horsepower
meeting on Germany at the
foreign minister level.
Mr.. Khrushchev warned that
any violation of the East Ger
man borders in the dispute over
West Berlin would be consid-
cred an act of aggression
against the Warsaw Pact pow
.ers.
Referring to his talks with
Mr.. Macmillan, Mr.. Khrushchev
said:
I'VE would be sincerely happy
if Mr. Macmillan would help to
remove differences between the
Soviet Union and Britain and
thus reduce international ten
sion.
Attacks Shah of Iran
1.-THE Soviet Union is pre-
pared to conclude not only an
agreement on trade and cul-
tural relations with Great
Britain, but also a pact of
friendship and nonaggression."
This nonaggression pact, he
said, could be for a term of 20
years but, if that was not long
enough, then for so years.
When he came to a discussion
of the situation in the Middle
East, Mr.. Khrushchev made
strong attack on the Shah of
Iran. He said everybody knew
about the secret treaty between
the United States and Iran.
In fact" he said, I'VE have
a copy of it,"

Bar Criticiizes
Court Rulings
Stronger Security
Lows Are Urged

CHICAGO. Feb. "a (AP).-
The American Bar Association
today approved in a stormy
session a report that calls for
stronger internal security laws
and acknowledges there has
been widespread criticism of
some Supreme Court decisions.
The House of Delegates,
policy making body Of the ABA,
defeated motions at the dele
gates midwinter meeting to
delete. critical references to sew
eral Supreme Court decisions
dealing with Communist ac-
tivity and internal security.
The Hopse Of Delegates yes
terday deferred action on the
resolution after its opening
passages were presented to the
246-man body.
The report, approved last
Saturday by the ABA Board of
Governors, cites criticism of
several Supreme Court decisions
dealing with Subversion and
Communist activities in this
country. While it refrainS from
direct attack on the high court,
it asks that Congress clarity
laws dealing with those sub
jectS.
Arthur j. Freund of st.
Louis, who objected to imme-
diate consideration of the So
page resolution because many
delegates had not had chance
to study it, said:
II oppose it because, as
worded, it is a document not
worthy of this organization. +"
Albert E. Jenner Of Chicago
told newsmen after yesterdays
meeting that he thought some
changes should be made in the
language of the resolution. He
added he was in favor of cur
rent enforcement of both State
and Federal statutes against
Subversion.
The internal security resolu-
ton has aroused widespread
interest because of published
news stories that similar re-
ports prepared but never
passed by the ABA House of
Delegates led to the resignation
from the ABA of Chief Justice
Earl Warren.

Senator Kefauver, Democrat

will ask the Interstate and

Strauss connection with the
DiXon-Yates contract while he

Energy Commission.
Mr.. Strauss is serving as
Secretary of Commerce under
a recess appointment. The
Commerce Committee has set

nomination and has invited Mr.
Strauss to testify. Senator Ke-

AFL-C|OBoard
Acts TO Oppose
Teamster Bid
Will Fight Move
To Organize Isle;
Member Sees War
By LEE M. COIN
Star staf Writer

star Stan Writer
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Feb.
"a. - The AFL-CIO Executive
Council for the first time has
decided to fight the OUTLAW
Teamsters Union in organizing
truck drivers and warehouse
men.
This means warfare" one
council member said. Others
thought he overstated the case,
but nevertheless agreed the
councils move could prove sig
nificant if followed up vigor-
ously
In an unannounced action,
the council yesterday authorized
issuance of a union charter for
Puerto Rican workers-specifi-
cally including those in Team
ster Jurisdiction.
Although action is limited to
this island, it could set a prec-
edent for widespread chal-
lenges by the AFL-CIO to the
Transfers, who were ouSted
from the labor federation on
corruption charges in 1857. The
AFL-CIO has SHE'D away from
combat with James r. Hoffa's
powerful union on the main
land.
Meanwhile, the council pre-
pared to end its nine-day win
ter meeting at the Caribe Hill
ton Hotel here today with a call
for a Washington conference
or other demonstrations to
dramatic the unemployment
problem.
CnaIienge Dy carey
Yesterdays motion to chal-
lenge the Transfers in Puerto
Rico was offered by James B.
Carey, aggressive president of
the International Union of Elec-
trical Workers, who long has
tried unsuccessfully to arouse
the AFL-CIO to fight the
Transfers.
Joseph Curran, president of
the National Maritime Union,
cast the only dissenting vote in
a closed council session. He
said the council should go all
out against the Transfers on
the mainland if it starts any
battle at all.
Mr.. Carey also would like to
see a big campaign against the
Teamsters but recognizes that
he lacks the votes. He settled
for Puerto Rico as a start.
His motion authorized ALL
CLIO President George Meany to
issue a federal" charter for a
local union in Puerto Rico. In
this sense, federal union is
directly affiliated with ALL
CLIO instead of with one of the
labor federation's International
unions. A federal union could
command backing from the
AFL-CIO in money and man
power.
Under the AFL-CIO consti-
tuition, federal unions cannot
invade the Jurisdiction of affil-
lated international unions
without their consent. So the
proposed union would not COM
pete against existing AFL-CIO
unions claiming several thou
sand members on this island.
Boosting of Drive
The Transfers have only a
handful of members here. but
have been boasting of plans for
a big organizing drive. Although
most evidence indicates this
talk is mainly designed to
needle the AFL-CIO, it has
stirred up some island officials.
Mr.. Carey's motion sets no
date for issuing a charter. He
hopes to work with Mr.. Meany
and others to formulate a de-
tailed organizing plan. The
AFL-CIO realizes that issuance
Of a charter will do little good
without strong follow-up sup
port.
But the AFL-CIO until now

Federal Payment
BY JAMES G. DEANE
Star stan Writer


Blunt notice that higher Dis
trict taxes may be in the offing
was served today by members
of the House District Appropri-
atoms Subcommittee.
Members of the unit, headed
by Representative Rabaut,
Democrat Of Michigan, in effect,
told civic leaders at a stormy
public hearing, that Washing
ton residents would have to pay
more If they wanted improved
schools and other municipal
services.
Representative Rhodes, Re-
publican of Arizona, a new
member of the unit, told par
ent-teacher association spokes-
men, with reference to a COM
plant that Congress ought to
be voting more Federal help to
the city:
Maybe you people should stop
blaming the Federal Govern
ment and start looking to your
own resources"
Clash Is Sharp
An unexpected tangle over
the fiscal question, one of the
sharpest before a congressional
group in recent years, disrupted
the schedule of the hearing,
which was opened this morn
ing OF the Districts $248 mil
lion proposed budget for the
fiscal year beginning July /.
The Rabaut unit does not
control taxes. But it does have
a key role in deciding on city
spending. And this, in turn,
also gives the unit a strategic
position in determining the
level of the city's taxes.
The fiscal dispute occurred
shortly after Mrs. Gordon Van
Sanford, the first of a string
Of PTA witnesses, charged that
District residents are being
treated as "second-claSs citi-
zens" and denied even permis-
sion to spend their own tax
money as they see fit.
1.-THE citizens of the District
are still expected to operate |
in the manner of the Dark !
Ages, and come up with a
space-age model of a city,"
Mrs. Van Sanford declared.
She added some pointed re-
marks apparently aimed at
the appropriations units ham
ding of the city's budgets.
Grant VS.. Taxes
The committee in past years
has failed to recommend a
Federal payment to the PTA
organizations liking. Other
civic groups also have fire.
quently criticized the actions
of the committee and of Con-
gress as a whole on this ques-
ton.
Mrs. Van Sanford wound up !
her prepared testimony with a
strong plea for an adequate |
Federal grant. The city this |
year is seeking $32 million.
This brought an immediate |
question from Mr.. Rhodes as
to whether the PTA leader was
also suggesting that there
should be a tax increase.
Mrs. Van Sanford protested:
I'VE have had tax increase
time and time again, and still
we do not get an adequate
Federal payment to help run
the District"
Il want to talk about your
taxes, and then I'll be glad
to talk about the Federal pay
ment." Mr.. Rhodes rejoined.
Questions Realty Rate
The Arizona Congressman
then asserted that he had asked
city officials at recent closed
hearings what the Federal Gov
eminent, which does not pay
District taxes, would owe on
its land holdings if it did. He
said he had been told that
there would be $22.5 million.
Noting that this years Fed
eral payment was $40 million,
he then asserted:

Club Liquor
Bill Offered
BY a Star stan Writer

ANNAPOLIS. Mar. 5.-A bill
TO permit veterans and frater-
nal groups in suburban Mont
gomery County to sell Liquor by
the drink is finally in the works
here.
1t was introduced yesterday
/ by Delegate Alger Y. Barbee
| Democrat, and was sent to the
House Alcoholic Beverage Com
nlittee.
The bill viii be one of q
number Of liquor law proposals
to be aired at a public hearing
at 1880 pm. Saturday at Whea-
ton High School.
The bill would permit the
licensing of veterans and fra
ternal clubs in the 7th and
18th election districts.
It has been drawn to include
a ban on bottle club opera
tions.
Some opponents Of the vet
Grams and fraternal groups bill
feel the two measures should
be considered separately since
one would tighten and the
other ease existing liquor laws.
The Barbee bill would per-
NIT persons attending private
parties in restaurants to bring
their own liquor. The liquor,
however, could not be left there
when the party ends.
The Prince Georges delega-
ton today was slated to decide
whether to introduce a bill to
allow the Washington Gas
Light Co., to condemn land foI
underground gas storage in the
Brandywine area.
