Premier Khrushchev has Or
dered an investigation into
waste and inefficiency in the
super-secret Soviet defense eS-
tablishment.
Defense production matters
rarely are mentioned publicly
in the Soviet Union, but Mr..
Khrushchev paid considerable
attention to their shortcomings
in q speech last week to top In
dustrial specialists in Moscow.
The full text Of his speech has
Just been received in Washing
ton.
This is the talk In which
Mr.. Khrushchev noted his age
and said that he could not
hold his dual Jobs Of govern
ment and party leader forever.
The main emphasis in the
25, ,000-word speech, however.
was on economic problems in
Soviet industry.
Khrushchev Angered
Experts studying the text
here noted that Mr.. Khru-
shchev seemed angered by ap-
parent corruption in the de-
fense industries, which are
largely free from the public
criticism leveled at other
branches Of the Soviet econ
omy. Even though large
amounts Of money and re-
sources are allocated to de-
fenSe, these reserves are not
being used sufficiently" Mr..
Khrushchev said.
Because the production Of
defense industry enterprises Is
secret the shortcomings In the
work of such enterprises arc
closed to criticism" Premier
Khrushchev said. But nothing
can be done In this case. COM
rades. T'H-se enterprises will
remain secret.
But certain undistiplined
people working In the defense
industry must not be allowed
to take advantage Of this" he

August Is with a .32-caliber

Boykin-Johnson Trial
Arguments Are Begun

said he had no recollection of
lit.
The young prosecutor pointed
out that Mr.. johnson gave two
reasons for giving the speech:
First that he was outraged over
an article attacking State saw
ings and loan associations in
The Washington Star, and Sec
ond as a campaign issue.
But, Mr.. Marion alleged, the
speech had already been con-
sidered and drafted before The
Star article had appeared.
AS for the campaign issue,
Mr.. Marion went on, the con-
gresham had admitted that
no constituents had ever asked
that the speech be given; no
constituent had ever requested
a copy; no constituent had ever
discussed the speech with him
or ever complained about The
Star article.
Edlin Got Reprints
He continued that the Con-
gresham never mentioned the
speech in his weekly news
letter or requested any re-
prints for himself.
Only Edlin had obtained
$4,000 reprints which he had
used to persuade prospective
savers to invest in his savings
and loan associations.
The prosecutor reminded the
jury of the flight back to
Miami on which Mr.. Robinson
and Mr.. Edlin argued on who
should take credit for the
speech. He alleged that now
1t must sound like hollow
laughter" concerning the ar
gument as to who would take
credit, Mr.. Edlin, who paid for
it, or Mr.. Robinson, who had
written it,"
Tomorrow Edward L. Gem,
counsel for savings and loan
operator j. Kenneth Edlin will
open, followed by Edward Ben
nett Williams, counsel for Mr..
Boykin. U. S. Attorney Joseph
D. Tydings then will close the
arguments for the government.
Thursday the case is expect
ed to go to the jury after Fed
eral Court Judge Roszel C.
Thomson advises them on the
legal aspects of the case.

Good news for everyone who works or

have proved you can tan Without burn

can stay in the hottest midday sun and
tan the, way you want to tan, without
painful burning or blistering.
The dramatic sun tests which pro-
vided this documented proof were
made at Miami Beach and a
Plymouth, Mass. beach. They were
conducted by a team of eminent
dermatologists, who exposed the
Bronztan-protected volunteers to the
blazing midday sun for four contin.
uous hours. When these volunteers
were examined and studied on the
following day and again 7 days later,
not one showed evidence of painful
sunburn on any area Of Bronztan-
protected skin. No sunburn while

Bronztan test areas were rated by
the doctors as "a definite tan" or

Star Cup Goes to Bethesdan

A Bethesda resident and
federal Government employe
whose interest in education led
him into eight years Of inten-
i've civic activity last night
became the 38th recipient Of
The Star Cup in Montgomery
County.
Seymour S. Berlin, retiring
president of the Montgomery
County Civic Federation, re-
ceived the award as the citizen
performing "the most out
standing public service" for the
county during the year.
Presenting the silver trophy
was John H. Kaufman, bust
ness manager and vice presi-
dent of The Evening Star
Newspaper Co.
Mr.. Berlin, director of the
United States Civil Service
Commissions Bureau of In
spections, moved to Montgom-
cry County in 1850. He became
a Parent Teacher Association
president two years later.
Spurred School Study
Moving to 6410 Bannockburn
drive, Bethesda, Mr.. Berlin
soon discovered the need for a
school in that area and this led
him into civic association work.
He became a Federation dele
gate in 1855. serving on the
Federation's School Committee
and on a special group named
to make a factual study of the
school board.
Later, Mr.. Berlin served as
Schools Committee chairman
twice, as a Legislative COM
mittee member, second vice
president and first vice presi-
dent, each for two terms.
Mr.. Berlin also was active on
the Federation's committee on
bicounty agencies, its special
committee on metropolitan
transportation and in 1859 was
named a delegate to the Inter-
federation Council, a post he
continues to hold.
Native Of Cleveland
A native of Cleveland, Ohio,
Mr.. Berlin is married and the
father of two children, Jeffrey,
a student at Oberlin College,
and Marcia, q Walt Whitman
High School student.
In presenting the trophy,
Mr.. Kaufman said that The
Star feels "a strong kinship"
with Montgomery County and
the Federation.
He pointed out that 1t was
because of the important news
being made In Montgomery
that The Star led the way in
replacing part-time correspond
ents there with full-tihne re-
porters.
In accepting the award, Mr..
Berlin said it "transcends the
individual" adding that he
thought recognition of the
Federation's work was ex-
tremely important.
The Evening Star makes the
trophy available to the Fedora
ton, whose delegates then
select the winner.

BALTIMORE, June 11.-As-
sistant United States Attorney
j. Hardin Marion opened a
three-hour summary for the
Government today, stating that
a speech by former Maryland
Representative Thomas F.
johnson was "a days work for
a days pay for the man to
whom he was selling his con-
greSsional influence.
Mr.. johnson along with
former Alabama Representative
Frank w. Boykin, savings and
loan operator j. Kenneth Edlin,
and his aide, William L. Robin
son, are on trial for conspiring
to defraud the Government of
the honest services of its repre-
sentatives.
Part Of the charge Is an al
legation that Mr.. johnson was
paid for making a House speech
defending independent savings
and loan associations.
All four are charged with
conspiring to gain the dismissal
of a pending mail fraud charge
against Edlin by the Justice
Department.
Sees Case Proved
Mr.. Marion told the jury that
I'VE stand here today in the
sunset of the trial." and I'VE
have proved the case beyond
any doubt"
The prosecutor said the con-
spiracy had its conception on
April /. 1860, when Edlin hired
a public relations man, Martin
Helm. He said that some time
on May l Mr.. Heflin and Mr..
Robinson met in a hotel room
to begin work on the speech
which would later be delivered
in Congress.
Later in May, he said, Mr..
Helm and Edlin went over the
speech with Representative
johnson according to the "un-
contradicted testimony" of
Jackson Rains, accountant for
Edlin.
Mr.. Marion pointed out that
three witnesses testified to the
meeting although Mr.. johnson

After the convincing results of the doc
tors tests were announced last summer,
millions of people eagerly "sun-tested"
Bronztan for themselves. They proved
again that you can tan safely, tan beau
tifully, with Bronztan. And they proved
something else: Bronztan's exclusive
moisturizing formula lets you tan with
out drying or coarsening your skin, with
out embarrassing peeling. Bronztan
actually helps soften your skin as you
tan.

prove that now you can tan the way you
want to tan without fear Of painful sun
burn. Start tomorow-get a fast, deep,

tax change would go to middle
upper income groups, obviously.
I have heard several people say
fatty they would finally "un-
lock" profits frozen in stocks
they have owned for many
years If they get this break
(which would increase the flow
of taxes to the Treasury,
incidentally. But, as the Re-
search Institute of America
points out, even those in low
tax brackets would be benefited.
For instance, If person in the
low 20 per cent tax bracket has
Ia $1,000 profit on a stock he
has held for five years and he
sells today. he will pay 20 per
cent of $1,000 per cent of
the gain-or 500. Under the
committee proposal, he would
pay 20 per cent of $1,000 per
cent Of the gain-or $50.
The House Committees tenta-
tive decisions cover an exceed
ingly wide range. There would
be a new tax break on Child
care expenses" another tax
break on drug and medicine
expenses of those IS or over.
There would be significant
changes in the tax treatment
of inherited property-causing
an overhaul Of today's estate
planning procedures - also in
the tax treatment of group
term life insurance given to
highly-paid employees.
