Money Tales
WASHINGTON W Internal
revenue ' workers explanations of
five-figure spending on four-figure
salaries were assesed Saturday as
"'unbelievable" by House investi
gators of tar scandals.
-The ways and means subcommit
tee headed by Rep. King (D-Callf )
centered its latest lnaulrv on oer-
sonal finances of three employes
oi me new ion city tax office.
One appeared before the subcom
mittee Friday but refused to an
swer all questions. Another told
i a uroouyn accent how he won
eoougn mi gamoung to cover 118,
350 he spent in a year his govern
ment salary was 13,500. The third,
agents reported, put $41,600 into
me sioci market Between 1944 and
1948 when his annual paycheck was
3.900. .
i Chairman Kin? summed un th
subcommittee's reaction to the hec
tic aay:
"A pattern has emeread of hleh-
ly unusual sources of funds. Large
horse race winnings, bridge sys
tems, cacnes oi currency and loans
and gifts from relatives have been
used to explain expenditures- far
uryono salaries.
"Reasonable oeoDle are forced tn
conclude that in the aggregate at
jctwi, uicso explanations are unoe-
uevaoie."
King called off this phase of the
subcommittee's delving until next
nctuiesoay. Biruung out lor high
er ground, the group has called
lormer top officials of the Internal
Revenue Bureau for closed-door
questioning starting Tuesday.
Among these are former Inter
nal Kevenue commissioner Joseph
D. Nunan Jr.,- and former Assis
tant Commissioner Daniel Bolich.
Anti-British
Pledge Made
CAIRO, Egypt Wl Prime Mln
Ister Ahmed Naguib Hilaly Pasha
promised the Egyptian people Sat
urday he would ''spare no effort"
to achieve evacuation of British
troops from the Suez Canal Zone
and unity of Egypt with the Su
dan.. In a Constitution Day radio ad
dress, the independent premier
lashed out at the powerful Wafd
party, which has a majority of
seats in the parliament he has
suspended 30 days.
Wafd leaders announced this
week they are withholding their
support from Hilaly's government.
The Wafd government was oust
ed by King Farouk the day loU
lowing Cairo's fire riots Jan. 26.
Because of the deepening lift be
tween the Wafdlsts and Hilaly,
many predict early elections.

Ship Cooks
May Return

SAN FRANCtSrn Lfl Mom.
bers of the Marine Cooks and
Stewards Union were expected to
return to their ships Saturday
staging a one-day work stoppage
to aemonstraie . tne bargaining
strength of their union.
While the stourjnee was on In
ports from Seattle to New York
the National Labor Relations Board
in Washington cancelled labor con
tracts between the union and Pa.
cific Coast ship owners.
The NLRB said the contracts
contain illegal hiring arrangements
under which applicants for jobs
ho were nst members of the MCS
or were members of rival unions
ere denied hiring oDDortunities.
This violates the Taft-Hartley Law.
Spokesmen for the union, ousted
from the CIO because of left wins
tendencies, said the NCRB deci
sion is based upon "old" contract
language that is no longer part of
the union's present contract with
the Pacific Maritime Association.
The spokesmen said the union
ould appeal the ruling and if
necessary take the case to the
federal courts.
A spokesman for MCS said 23
ships in San Francisco were "tied
up", with others affected at Port
land, Ore., Wilmington, Calif., Se
attle, New Orleans, Galveston,
Tex., and New York.
A shipowner source in San Fran
cisco said it was misleading to say
23 ships were tied up in the Bay
area. The source said it was onlv I
when a ship was scheduled to sail
and was delayed that the effect
really could be assessed.
The galley workers were told at
the meetings that "more drastic
action" is contemplated unless the
government and shipowners elim
inate the question as to union representation.
The heart of the dispute is a peti
tion filed by the Sailors' Union of
the Pacific before the NLRB for
bargaining rights.
MCS wants this petition tossed
out, claiming it is the bargaining
representative and already has a
contract with the ship owners.

'Pi An American spokesman
said Saturday the U.S. government
will make every effort to expose
the falsity of Russia's charge that
U.N. forces have used germ war
fare in North Korea and China.
The accusation, often made by
the Communists, was brought Into
the U.N. Friday by Soviet Deputy
Foreign Minister Jacob A. Malik In
a statement before the 12-natlon
disarmament commission. It was
vigorously denied by U.S. Delegate
Benjamin V. Cohen.
At a news conference Saturday
Cohen made it clear the United
States will not drop the matter
with a simple denial.
"We don't Intend to let him get
away with these dishonest, absurd
and monstrous falsehoods," Cohen
said.
