BY the Associated Press

The White House is being
asked to ratify a Treasury de-
cision against printing paper
money in a variety Of colors.
Secretary Of the Treasury
Dillon wants to stick with the
present greenbacks, but is
passing the question along to
President Kennedy because of
the political considerations in
volved.
The idea of printing each
denomination of paper cur
rency in a different color, to
make Identification easier, was
sponsored by Mrs. Elizabeth
Rudel Smith, the Treasurer of
the United States.
While Mr.. Dillon has taken
a stand against her proposal,
he wants the White House to
concur in his finding because
Mrs. Smith is a popular figure
and is the Democratic national

To Hold Hearings
But on the Hill, Congress-
men interested in civil defense
say it may fail again unless
the Pentagon takes over. Chair
man Holifield of the Military
Operations Subcommittee Of
the House Committee of Gov.
ernment Operations, says he
will order a series of hearings
on civil defense as soon as the
new program is made public.
Most Congressman, he says,
have not followed the civil.
defense Arguments closely. His
hearings, he hopes, will provide
the basic knowledge they need.
He personally is convinced
that the OCDM has been
poorly administered in the past
and that civil defense has not
been demonstrated to be a vital
part of national defense.
Mr.. Holifield says he is
pleased by Mr.. Ellis vigorous
approach, but he believes the
Pentagon must support civil
defense strongly or it will fail
in Congress. If Pentagon con-
troll is the price of active mil

Nominee Expected
To Be Confirmed

Senator Bible asked him to ex-
plain these reports:
That he paid $628.40 Janu-
ary 6, 1859, on a Federal in
come tax lien filed against him
October Is, 1887. That he paid
$51.33 November IL, 1858, on a
District income tax lien filed
october IS, 1858.
That he paid $63.29 June 30,
1861. on another District income
tax lien filed March 20, 1861.
Mr.. Reeves said the delin-
quent accounts were matters
of oversight"
Not that I was not aware
of them, but in the course Of
events and the manner in which
we handle our family finances,
/ did not pay in the time re-
quired." he added.
Wife, the BOOkkeeper
He said his wife was the
bookkeeper for household ex-
penses. But he quickly added
that he did not wish to shift
the blame, which he accepted
as his own. nor to "get into
any trouble" with his wife.
Mrs. Reeves, q teacher,
joined in the laughter.
Senator Miller, pressing the
tax issue, said he had no con-
cern with Mr.. Reeves inten-
ton to pay.
What / am concerned with
is your apparent failure to
follow through with tax col
lectorS on a system of pay
ments and with the fact that
liens were filed" the Senator
said. "A tax lien is a last resort.
Only when tax officials have
reached a point Of exhaustion
will they file tax liens"
Senator Miller said he spoke
from long experience as q
lawyer in tax cases.
Asked Of Other Instances
He asked Mr.. Reeves If there
were other instances Of nom
payment, in addition to the
three cited.
Mr.. Reeves hesitated, as if
to recall, and replied:
"I would have to say, to the
best Of my knowledge, there
were no other instances. But
I would have to rely on the
records"
Then he volunteered. II do
believe there was one other
time when ! made special ar
rangements to pay"
Are your tax payments now
current?" Senator Bible asked.
Mr.. Reeves said they were
because they all were withheld
from his checks.
A string of witnesses agreed
with Committeeman Hartke,
Democrat of Indiana. that Mr..
Reeves was highly qualified for
a commiSsionership and should
be confirmed.

DECEMBER - Mr.. Khru-
shchev may reject the allied
proposals and go ahead with
his threat to sign a separate
peace treaty with East Ger
many.
