WOLD Aiioclte Prtn U!f Wrlltr DETROIT (P) Heads of the CIO United Auto Workers' big Ford Local BOO faced a threat of ouster Thursday. The union's International, act ing on the heels of the House Un American Activities Committee Inquiry, accused Local 600 officers of failing to enforce union re strictions against Communists. The charge constituted a sensa tion In union circles. It is without precedent In the UAW. Apparently it was an outcome at least in part of the committee's inquiry. WITNESSES. Including UAW- CIO men, had testified that Ford Local 600, world's largest union local, with 60,000 members, is under control of Communists. Since Its organization in 1041, climaxed by the 13-day union rec ognition strike against the Ford Motor Co., Local 600 has been one of the UAW's greatest bulwarks. The UAW International Execu tive Board, headed by President Walter P. Reuther, acted against the Local 600 leadership Wednes day night less than four hours after the Un-American Activities Committee adjourned Its hearing. Local 600 officers were accused of causing "Irreparable damage by failing to enforce the UAW's constitutional restrictions against Communists. They also were ac cused of disobeying union policy, ALL WERE ordered to a hear ing before the Executive Board Friday to show cause wny an aa ministrator should not De appoini- ed for the local. This would mean removal of the officers. It is a disciplinary step which has seldom been taken by the 1,250,00 member auto union. An administrator takes full con trol of a local. He stays on the job, resDonsible only to the interna tional union, until tne c-oara deems that conditions have been rectified. TWO OF LOCAL 600's top offi cers, Vice President Pat Rice and Recording Secretary William n, Hood, were unwilling witnesses before the investigating congress men. Both refused to answer any questions reparding Communism. Both denounced committee pro cedure. Hood, who has held his union paid office for four years, is pres ident of the recently organized National Negro Labor Council which the' UAW has called Communist-influenced, a. I INEA Telenhoto) "LITTLE DISAPPOINTED" Still wearing his 10-gallon hat, Senator Robert A. Taft appears in a serious mood as he confers with an aide after learning Gen. Eisenhower made a clean sweep in the New Hampshire election. Taft later told reporters he was "a little disappointed" with the results. Russians Scatter Aircraft Factories WASHINGTON (P) Russia has about 85 aircraft factories and more than 28 engine plants and probably produced 22,000 airplanes half of them fighters last year, the technical and trade magazine, Aviation Age, said Wednesday. It added that the plants arc well scattered, from Smolensk and Kiev in the west, all the way across the vast nation to Kam chatka Peninsula north of Japan. But the only three of large size are in the west: One near Gorki Southeast Moscow with a pro duction area of almost 30 acres; one in Moscow; and the largest at Tiflis, a short plane-hop from the Turkish border. Aviation Age said its Informa tion came from "foreign sources." The magazine said these are the Group Rejects White Crosses WASHINGTON OT A House subcommittee Thursday killed a bill providing for restoration of white wooden crosses over the graves In the National Memorial Cemetery In Honolulu. The crosses were erected .tem porarily in 1049 in the new ceme tery in Punch Bowl crater and re moved last September by the Army in accordance with a de cision to use flat stone markers. Delegate Farrington (R-Hawaii) told the Public Lands subcommit tee that the people of Hawaii had become so Impressed by the row on row of white crosses over the 13,800 graves that their removal came as a severe emotional shock. The people of the territory were virtually unanimous In asking for restoration of the crosses, he said. All It would cost, Farrington said, is $2.39 for each grave. N.Y. Socialite Wins Acquittal SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (P) A tense courtroom crowd, its Impatience mounting with the hours; shouted and cheered as Mrs. Margaret Ryan was acquitted Wednesday night of manslaughter. A jury of nine men and three women deliberated four hours, and 16 minutes before freeing the wealthy former New York social ite. She was charged with man slaughter of Leonard D. Ray, 22, a trespasser on her ranch, last June. The jurors accepted Mrs. Ryan's story of self-defense; of having fired three warning shots; of final ly having shot Ray when he threatened her with a rifle. It was her second trial, A jury in Ihe first failed to agree on a verdict Inst November. up-to-date facts about the Soviet aircraft industry: There are 15 large, 30 medi um and 40 smaller plants produc ing airframes, "an imposing array of industrial strength." Russia's ministry for aircraft industry supervises 360 factories which do all or most of their work for the Red Air Force. Contributing industries in clude about 20 rubber factories and 15 to 18 large aluminum plants. About 15 larger and an in determinate number of smaller plants produce jet engines and piston ' engines simultaneously, while another 13 plants manu facture piston engines only. The average annual output of a plant is 3600 engines. But for bottlenecks In three branches of production alminum, engines and precision tools an annual output of from 50,000 to 60,000 Russian planes "could be assumed without fear of exagger ation." With a peak production to date of 63,000 engines produced in 1951, construction' of multi engined aircraft is severely Urn ited and "it can be seriously doubted whether the Soviet Union ever will be able to build a pow- erful strategic heavy bomber air force under, such conditions." Aviation Age estimated that in 1951 Russia produced 10,700 fight ers, 530 reconnaissance planes, 3060 light and medium bombers, 1246 heavy bombers, 1430 trans port aircraft and 5000 trainers and liaison aircraft. The Aircraft Industries Assoc! atlon estimates that U. S. pro duction last year totaled 5000 air planes and 20,000 engines. Turks, GIs Halt Commie Attack i Curtain of Artillery Hits Assault Waves SEOUL, Korea VP) American and Turkish troops stopped a Red assault battalion in its tracks Wednesday night in the heaviest Communist attack in a month. A U.S. 25th Division officer said 200 of the 750 attacking Reds were killed or wounded. The Communists struck behind a heavy artillery barrage against the U.S. 35th Regiment and Turk ish Brigade in the eastern moun tains near Heartbreak Ridge. ASSAULT WAVES came in three prongs along a 2-mile front. But, a division spokesman said, "They got nowhere." A curtain of Allied artillery and mortar fire halted the Reds 100 yards short of U.N. lines. The Communists pulled back after a sharp two-hour fight. The entire 155-mile Korean front quieted Thursday, the U.S. Eighth Army said, except for pa trol clashes in the center. In the west U.N. troops re-occupied an advance position northwest of Yonchon without firing a shot. They had pulled out Wednesday night in the face of a Red attacK. AMERICAN warships pounded the eastern end of the line in round - the - clock attacks. The Navy reported the cruisers St. Paul and Manchester and the de stroyer Higbee scored direct hits on Red troops, guns, bunkers and supply depots. GrJ, 7, to Play Concert With 'Big Orchestra' PHILADEPHIA U.R Seven-year-old Diane Halprin tucked a midget violin under her chin and played Mozart's G-Major Violin Concerto with the Philadelphia Orchestra Wednesday.' "That was lots of fun," she an nounced when it was over. "You certainly are a big orchestra." Diane went through her paces at dress rehearsal for her ap pearance with the orchestra at 1 children's concert Saturday afterr noon. She Is the youngest violin ist ever to play with the Philadel phia Orchestra. , The sturdy, brown-eyed child with long black curls was not a bit nervous for her "first time with a real live orchestra." She got a round of applause from the orchestra and a kiss from Con ductor Alexander Hilsberg be fore she half-skipped and half walked off the stage. "She's an extremely talented child," Hilsberg commented after the rehearsal. "A most wonderful pitch, great coordination and per fect rhythm. And what a little personality!" Diane played surely and strong ly on a junior-size violin between a quarter and a half-size. Her father, Orcha, also a violinist, said it is a Gagliano, made in 1769 and loaned to Diane by a New York dealer. . Finds Loopholes in Tax La By ED CREAGH Ausclitel Prtn BUtf WrIUr WASHINGTON (P) Once upon a time, as March 15 crept up on him, a certain taxpayer fell to brooding about the high cost-to-him of running the gov ernment, And so he looked through the fine print of the tax laws, and there he discovered a loophole. "Medical expenses," It said there included "amounts paid for the diagnosis, cure, mitiga tion, treatment, or prevention of disease, or for the purpose of affecting any structure or func tion of the body." So, happily, the taxpayer list ed such "medical expenses" as: Food $1,520 Clothing 600 Cigarettes - 150 Liquor 200 Rent - 1,200 Television set . 250 The Internal Revenue Bureau, .of course, turned him down on all these deductions. But he car ried the matter to court and won out on almost every iteml This reduced his net income, for tax purposes; to zero. And the only flaw In an other wise delightful story is that the taxpayer Is purely inmaginary and so is the court decision in his favor. Both were made up by John P. Hodgkin, a certified ac countant for Price, Waterhouse & Co., Philadelphia, who wrote a tongue-in-cheek piece on the subject in the current issue of "Taxes," a magazine published by Commercial Clearing House, Inc., of Chicago. Officials at the Internal Rev enue Bureau here were much amused by the article and said they felt sure nobody would take it seriously enough to claim any of the "recommended" de ductions all of which actually are personal expenses and can't be deducted. Th imaginary court In the ar ticle, however, takes a more lib eral view. Food, for example, is held to be a medical expense because it "is necessary tor the preven tion of malnutrition, pellagra and starvation." Clothing Is ruled deductible since it prevents frostbite and sunburn and also because the non-wearing of it "will lead to prolonged incarceration in the local cooler," which would be bad for mental and physical health. Cigarettes? They : may, as some magazine articles say, be bad for the health. It so, they obviously are "affecting a func tion of the body," as the tax law puts It and the law doesn't say the effect on the body has to be favorable.
