About Cash
BY CARL IRVING
Star Stan Writer

A former chancellor at the
Swedish Embassy here has
testified he cannot remember
whether he received any Of the
$4,000 he is charged with
stealing from his government.
The defendant, Per AXE
Skantze, SO, is on trial in Dis
trict Court on charges of TAX
ing the money from embassy
funds while he was chief
bookkeeper there. He turned
aside a direct question yes
terday from the prosecutor,
Edward P. Troxell, as to what
he did with the money.
II couldn't remember, sir"
Mr.. Skantze said.
The thin, silver-haired de-
fendant spoke slowly but dis
tinctly in English with a mod
crate accent. His manner was
humble and calm in the face
Of aggressive questioning by
Mr.. Troxell.
Left Job for Children
Mr.. Skantze told the jury
he changed his status in this
country from diplomat to i'm
migrant so that his two chill
dren could grow up together
here. Mr.. Skantze divorced
his wife, who is in Sweden, on
grounds of infidelity in 1855.
He has custody of their IA
year-old son and 9-year-old
daughter.
The defendant has been
working as a janitor in a ho-
tel in the small rural Mary
land community of Benedict
since he failed to make a
financial success of a chicken
farm.
Mr.. Skantze is accused of
caShing nine embassy checks
Tor his own use while working
at the embassy, 249 R street
NV, between l947 and 1858.
His attorney, Robert Reiter,
has stated that he is trying to
establish his client was victim
lied by the diplomatic staff at
the embassy by being blamed
for confused and jumbled af-
fairs"
Odd Dealings Cited
Mr.. Reiter introduced a
statement that Mrs. Else
Strom. a Swedish newspaper
reporter here, received $4,000
in 1858 for press and irNorma-
tion services. Mr.. Reiter also
introduced into evidence docu-
ments showing that the Swed-
ish government paid 1910 a
month for four months rent
for a house here which was
vacant and being retained for
a diplomat due from Sweden.
Mr.. Skantze testified he was
overworked at the embassy,
frequently having to take ac-
counting work home with him
at night. He said he had no
help after the first two years
here and had to beg for help
and very seldom got it"

Of trial today, with the defend
ant expected to complete his

House Group
To Hear Plea
For School Bill
By the Associated Press

The House Rules Committee
took a big step today in the
direction Of getting to Presi-
dent Eisenhower a school con-
struction bill he might sign.
1t agreed to hear a House
Education Committee request
that conferees representing the
Senate and House be allowed
to try to work out a compro-
mise measure. Without Rules
Committee clearance, conflict
ing bills passed by the two
branches could not be recon-
ciled before Congress adjourns.
The committees decision ap-
parently meant that leaders Of
both political parties have de-
termined that Congress should
not adjourn without passing
some kind Of a school bill.
Sponsors Report Accord
Informal agreement already
has been reached on major
terms of a possible compromise,
sponsors of the House bill have
reported. But until the Rules
Committee acts, no formal
compromise can be drafted and
referred to the two chambers.
Rules Committee Chairman
Smith, Demoncrat of Virginia,
has set no date for the hearing
but has advised Chairman Bar
den, Democrat of North Caro-
lima, of the Education Commit
/ tee, that Mr.. Barden may have
a hearing at his convenience.
The school bills have been
stymied on the desk Of House
Speaker Rayburn since June 8.
There are sharp differences
between the Senate and the
House versions.
The House bill contains an
anti segregation provision
which the Senate refused to
accept. But the Senate measure
is more costly and would per-

The compromise most otter
discussed informally would dror

and the salary clause and re-

formula.
That kind of a compromise
repeatedly would win President
Eisenhower's approval, al
though it is not entirely to his
liking. Vice President Nixon,
the likely G. o. P. presidential
nominee, is understood to be
pushing for favorable action
in advance Of the election cam
paign.
The Presidents original pro-
posal as advocated by his con-
gressional leaders would limit
Federal aid to paying one-half
the cost Of State school bond
issues and would allocate funds
on the basis of need.

ranking Democratic and Re-
lpublicans on the Ways and

them have indicated they OPP
pose repeal Of the dividend tax
credit.
1 Some also showed little en-
;thusiasm for accepting the
other two Senate amendments,
but might have to give in on
one or both of them to assure
a compromise bill this week.
The Senate departed from
tradition in voting to raise
taxes in an election year, but
heavy spending for national de-
tense and other recent budget
increases built up support for
three of the moves by liberal
Democrats to close what they
called tax-loopholes.
House conferees recalled that
the stock dividend credit
amendment was rejected last
year in conference after it re-
ceived Senate approval.
Changes Adopted
The amendments adopted by
the Senate were:
By Senator Mccarthy, Demo-
ocrat of Minnesota, to repeal
the 4 per cent credit on divi-
dend income, leaving only a
$50 exemption for such income.
This would raise about $3.50
