Closer Audits Suggested
Mr.. Harrington told the COM
mittee, which is looking for
ways to reduce income tax
rates by getting more income
on the books, that the best
bets are to provide more money
for Internal Revenue Service
audits and require more infor-
nation reports on payments
made to potential taxpayers.
Other witnesses had different
ideas:
Pittsburgh Accountant Mi
chael D. Bachrach said that if
the maximum personal income
tax rate were cut from the
present 81 per cent to so per
cent. the favorable treatment
of capital gains could be
abolished at the same time and
other preferences for special
kinds of income scaled down
over the years.
The result, he said, would
be to cut the complicated
revenue code in half and save
a million man hours a year in
time spent by taxpayers and
accountants now trying to get
tax advantages by converting
ordinary income into capital
gains.

Cunudiun Reds
Rename Party

TORONTO, Oct. IL (AP).-
Canada's Labor Progressive
Party last night decided to call
a spade a spade and changed
its name to the Communist
Party of Canada. In French
speaking Quebec Province. it
will be the Parti Communist
Canadien.
The 500 delegates to the
party's seventh national con-
vention unanimously approved
the name change after being
told that if the party is to carry
out a bold" new program. it
should be bold enough to label
itself Communist.
The party used the Commun-
list handle from 1922 until the
government outlawed it in
1910, after the Reds opposed
Canada's entry into World War
II. After Germany attacked
Russia, the party was revived
under a new and legal name.
Party Leader Tim Buck told
the convention the ban on the
Communist Party in Canada
lapsed after the Korean War.

President Eisenhower's lawn

The President gave DR.. Rim
lard a hypodermic gun similar
to that now used at the Wash

ruly animals. The gun, given
to the President by Inventor
Red" Palmer of Atlanta, Ga,
is primarily used by ranchers,
veterinarians and zoo keepers
to anesthetize animals in need
of treatment.
Mr.. Grimmer told the Presi-
dent that the baby elephant
would live to be 80 to 100 years
old and would grow tusks when
he was 20. He said it was
shipped by air because ele-
plants get seasick on ships.

whether he wanted the ele-

Thereupon, four khaki-clad

will live with an African fe-
male elephant named Nancy

Placement Laws
Court I est
South Gets
Chance to
Try Plan
BY ROBERT E. CLARK
star stan Writer


The Supreme Court today
declined to examine the con-
stitutionality of one of the key
pupil placement laws that are
providing a pattern Of con-
trolled school indignation in the
South.
1t rejected two appeals by
Negro students from the North
Carolina placement law.
The high court also refused
to review the decision of the
Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals
last May that Prince Edward
County, Va, must proceed to-
wards indignation Of its public
schools.
It was this ruling that re-
suited in the Southern Virginia
county closing all 20 Of its
schools at the start of the fall
term this year.
In another Virginia school
case, the Supreme Court dis
missed an appeal from the Nor
folk City Council against a
lower court order restraining it
from withholding public school
funds to avoid integration.
Suit Pressed by Parents
This suit was instituted last
January by a group of white
children and their parents to
prevent the shutting down Of
all Norfolk schools above the
sixth grade.
Today's action on the North
Carolina pupil placement cases
lends strength to the view that
the Supreme Court is willing to
give the plan that has replaced
massive resistance in the South
a full chance to operate in the
school Indignation problem.
The high tribunal last year
upheld the constitutionality of
Alabama's pupil placement law
as it is written, but made it
plain at that time that the
final test of constitutionality is
in whether the law is admin
istered without discrimination.
One of the two cases disposed
of today challenged the North
Carolina law as unconstitu-
tional on its face in that there
has been no broad school inte-
grafton program drawn up for
Montgomery County, the area
involved in the appeal.
Discrimination Charged
The other case charged that
the pupil assignment plan is
administered in a way to dis
criminate against Negroes in
Raleigh, where there has been
no school indignation.
In both cases the Negro stu
dents declined to go through

Board Hunting
Steel Solution
.Heorings Opened
On Injunction
By the Associated Press

A fact-finding board opens
hearings today on the Nations
longest steel strike, hoping to
produce a settlement rather
than just some advice for
President Eisenhower.
Acting under the Taft Hart
ley law. the President ap-
pointed the three-man board
to recommend whether he
should seek a Federal court
Injunction to stop the walkout
for 80 days.
The Steelworkers Union
plans to fight issuance of such
an injunction.
Board Chairman George w.
Taylor, who does not think
much of the Taft-Hartley law,
said yesterday that he and his
colleagues would use the hear
ings to try to help manage
ment and labor reach a volun-
tary agreement in the 9O-day-
old strike.
Il think it's our responsible
ity to do everything within the
limits of our authority to settle
this dispute" said Mr.. Taylor,
known as a skilled arbiter of
labor management disputes.
He is professor of business at
the University of Pennsylvania
and was chairman of the War
Labor Board during World
War II.
Mcdonald Welcomes Help
Help from the panel was well
coined by David j. Mcdonald,
president of the United Steel
workers Union. If the panel can
neIp achieve an agreement, he
said, I'VE will be most happy"
Officially, the board must de-
termine whether continuation
of the strike would cause a
national emergency. In the
open hearings, the steel COM
panieS were expected to argue
that it would, while the union
was expected to argue the OPP

emily would follow these lines:
