Big UAW Local
May Be Ousted
Over Red Issue
International Board
Backs Lawmakers
By FELIX B. 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,

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

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.

atlon estimates that U. S. pro
duction last year totaled 5000 air
planes and 20,000 engines.

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.

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

Diane went through her paces

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.
