Taylor May Give
Up Vatican Post
Rome, Dec. 20 (IP) Uncon
firmed reports circulated in
Home today that Myron C. Tay
lor, former board chairman of
the U.S. Steel corporation, will
resign soon from his post as spe
cial representative of President
Truman to the Vatican.
Taylor refused to confirm or
deny the reports, adding that
they were a "surprise to me."
A high Vatican source said the
reports were credible because
Taylor has been in poor health.
Told of newspaper reports
that he intended to resign, Tay
lor replied: "All I can say is
that it is a surprise to me."
Taylor as a personal presiden
tial representative has the rank
of ambassador. The presence of
presidential representative at
tht Vatican has been criticized
from time to time by Protestant
circles in the United States.
Later today Pope Pius XII re
ceived Mr. and Mrs. Taylor in
private audience.
Rita Says Baby
Due in February
Lausanne, Switzerland, Dec.
20 UP) Rita Hayworth looked a
reporter straight in the eye to
day and said, "I don't expect to
have a baby until February, and
why everybody seems to think
it's going to happen earlier beats
me."
Miss Hayworth, who was mar
ried last May 27, has maintain
ed all along that the birth would
come in February. Contrary to
reports for the last two weeks
that her confinement was "im
minent." The actress wife of Prince Aly
Khan sat in her cream colored
Cadillac convertible outside the
Chateau Dorigny while her tem
peramental husband poured
buckets of champagne for the
newsmen he usually greets with
dark scowls.
While toasts to her future
son or daughter were filling the
air, Miss Hayworth wrapped
herself snugly in a dark mink
coat and kidded the United
Press correspondent about his
vigil in the lobby of the Laus
anne-Palace hotel, where the
Khans live.

6 Year Prison
Term for Traitor
Washington, Dec. 20 U.R)
Herbert John Burgman, former
clerk in the American embassy
at Berlin, was sentenced today
to six to 20 years in federal pri
son for treason.
Burgman, 53-year-old native
of Hokah, Minn., was the seventh
American to be convicted in the
government's postwar treason
prosecutions.
He was convicted for broad
casting wartime propaganda for
the nazis under the alias of "Joe
Scanlon." The "Scanlon" broad
casts were beamed to the Unit
ed States from "Station De
bunk," in a program which ac
tually originated in Berlin, but
which the nazis tried to make
sound as if it came from the
American midwest.
It was the second lightest
sentence imposed on any of the
World War II traitors. Mrs. Iva
D'Aquino (Tokyo Rose) got 10
years. She will be eligible for
parole at the end of 3 'A years,
while Burgman cannot be pa
roled until he has served at least
six years.

Belated Tips by
Shah of Iran
Bring Smiles
San Francisco, Dec. 20 U.R
The Shah of Iran has left
pleasant reminders of his stay
in San Francisco after all,
beaming hotel employes said
today.
When the Shah left Sunday
for New York, the hotel staff
was stunned, to say the least,
because he left no tips after
his seven-day visit here.
But it turned out Moham
med Reza Shah Pahlevl had
not forgotten. He painstaking
ly compiled a list of those who
waited on him.
Yesterday, an unidentified
representative of the Shah ap
parently got to a bank. He
handed out tips In individual
envelopes to all the employes.
Amounts received were not
disclosed.

Warren Wins
Fight on Lobby
Sacramento, Dec. 20 (fl) The
state senate overrode last min
ute objections today and passed
special session legislation to
strike at corrupt lobbying prac
tices. The vote was 24 to 14.
The bill, a rewrite of the
measure sponsored by Governor
Warren, now goes to the assem
bly where administration sup
porters face a serious threat to
delay action until the next ses
sion. Warren, as his press confer
ence, lashed out sharply at ma
neuvers designed, he said, to
kill his efforts to require pro
fessional lobbyists to register
and disclose the source and use
of their income.
He pointed an accusing finger
at a resolution debated but
still not acted upon in the as
sembly to let an interim com
mittee study the lobbying prob
lem before voting on any bill.
"This is perhaps the best ex
ample I have seen at Sacramento
of the power of unseen hands
in government," he said.

Hiss Declares
His Pad of ism
New York, Dec. 20 VP) Alger
Hiss testified today that he de
fended America's right to aid the
western allies in the early days
of World War II a time when
the Hitler-Stalin non-aggression
pact was in force.
Hiss said in his second per
jury trial that he voluntarily
prepared a memorandum Sept.
26, 1939, which said this coun
try could help Hitler's foes
without violating neutrality
laws.
The memorandum was put into,
evidence over strong government
objections. Its purpose was to
show that Hiss was acting at that
time in direct contradiction to
the communist party line
Whittaker Chambers, the gov
ernment's chief witness, has tes
tified that Hiss was a leader in
the communist underground
when he held a high state de
partment post.
Hiss said he wrote the memo
randum in answer to a letter by
Columbia university Professors
Charles Cheney Hyde and Philip
C. Jessup to the New York
Times..

Navy fo Keep
Shipyard Open
Washington, Dec. 20 (IP) TliCw
navy said today the San Fran-
Cisco naval shipyard will be
kept open.
Undersecretary of the Navy
Dan A. Kimball advised Sena
tor Downey (D., Calif.), how
ever, that some reductions in
personnel must be expected.
The navy informed the com
mandant of the 12th navy dis
trict in San Francisco that "it
is intended that present missions
and tasks of the San Francisco
naval shipyard will be retained,
but actual employment will be
consistent with assignment of
Pacific fleet forces and some re
ductions must be expected."
Kimball told the California
senator that present estimates
indicate that by early spring the
workload will support the em
ployment of 8,900 men at the
Mare Island navy yard and 5,500
at the San Francisco naval ship
yard. A San Francisco delegation in- k
terviewed navy officials last
week about reports circulated in
San Francisco that the naval
shipyard there would be closed.
