Real Estate Men Study
Taxation and Hear
Attack on OPA Policy
Trustees of the National Real
Estate Foundation today turned to
a study of taxation on real estate
and real estate ownership as they
entered the second day of a two
day conference at the Statler Hotel
here.
In a closed session this afternoon
the organization was expected to
authorize a study which would em
brace both taxes on real estate and,
on property earnings. Arthur W.
Binns. Philadelphia, will preside.
At the opening session last night
,1 Howard Pew, Philedalphia. pres
ident of the Sun Oil Co., warned
that property owners could "never
relax'' until the Office of Price Ad
ministration is abolished.
Charges OPA Coercion.
Charging OPA with “coercion, in
timidation and bribery,” Mr. Pew
said he had no doubt that “black
marketers are stanch supporters of
OPA. just as the bootleggers were
of national prohibition 15 years
ago."
Mr. Pew declared OPA is seeking
to “remain in power by double-talk
and specious argument, by arousing
fear in the public mind, by spend
ing millions of dollars of the tax
payers' money on propaganda to
delude them. * *
Price control and strikes. Mr. Pew
said, are mainly to blame for short
ages of consumer goods.
“And price control, in large
measure, has been responsible for
the strikes.“ he added. “Had in
dustrial management been free to
adjust prices and wages, and if the
Government had not interfered, in
creased wage demands would have
been reconciled without the lengthy
strikes which have been so costly
to every one."
Predicts Another Extension.
The Philadelphia industrialist de
clared that if Congress extends OPA
for a year from June 30. the agency
will seek extension again.
“Next year.” he said, "they will
be able to plead a greater urgency,
for continued price control will
make the problem worse.” In case
price controls are ended this June,
the Sun Oil Co. president said,
“many price rises will be more ap
parent than real.
"When speaking of price increases,’
we should distinguish between the
OPA or legal prices, which are
largely academic, and real prices;
which must be paid to get goods.”
3 Veteran Units Ofier
Joint Training Plan
The three largest veterans' organ
izations, each of which has been
nursing its own plan for universal
military training, have got together
on a joint proposal.
A joint statement of tire Veterans
of Fort£gri Wars, American Legion
and Disabled American Veterans
disclosed last night that they will
ask Congress to introduce a bill with
these features:
1. An adequate program for mili
tary training with a specifice age
range—for boys reaching 18 or after
they finish high school, providing,
they graduate before they reach 20.
3. A period of basic training of,
from three to four months when it
will least interfere with the!
trainee's academic education or live
lihood*
4. Af%r completion of basic train
ing, a trainee would be given the
option of completing the remainder
of a year's training or the equiva
lent through advanced technical or
basic scientific training, in the Na
tional Guard, in the organized re
serve, in the ROTC for Army, Navy
or air, or in the regular establish
ments.
5 The program must allow the
minimum of exemptions.
Woman Kept Bound
At Murder Trial
By the Associated Press
NEW YORK. April 9.—Mrs. Es
peranza Pisanti, 49, being tried on a
charge of first-degree murder, sat1
in Kings County Court for several
hours yesterday with her body in
a straightjacket. her mouth gagged,
and her feet bound.
County Judge Samuel Leibowitz
ordered Mrs. Pisanti bound and
gagged after she staged a hysterical
demonstration similar to two others
which caused postponements in her
trial last week.
Psychiatrists at Bellevue Hospital
had declared Mrs. Pisanti sane. One
of them had testified before Judge J
Leibowitz that the woman was put- j
ting on the demonstrations delib- j
erately and could remain calm if
she chose to do so.
Mrs. Pisanti is accused of killing
Mrs. Nancy Catalano with a gun
a year ago, while the two shared
an apartment in Brooklyn.

$615,000 Profit Seen on Six
Navy Subs Bought for $40,000
ay The AcsociaTed Press
MIAMI, Fla., April 9.—Capt.
Thomas H. Newman, onetime Penn
sylvania coal miner and Florida
deep-sea fisherman, said yesterday
he had purchased six Navy subma
rines for $40,000 and figured he had
an easy net profit of at least $615,
000 on the deal.
Capt. Newman said there was
$55,000 worth of scrap lead in the
submarines' batteries alone, and
that the group's 12 Nelco Diesel 400
horse power engines were worth
$50,000 each or a total of $600,000.
Seventh Naval District headquar
ters here confirmed that the sub
marines. built in World War days
between 1914 and 1916 at an esti
mated cost of $1,500,000 each, were
sold at Key West as "obsolete and
scrap." They were believed to be
the first such underseas craft sold
to the public.
Capt. Jlewman said he and his
partner. M. O. Scott, Miami junk
dealer, planned to scrap four of the
craft, which had been stripped of
periscopes, instruments, guns, tor
pedoes and other equipment, and
■ would put the other two on exhibi
| tion on the Miami bay front,
i Capt. Newman, who came to
Miami in the pioneer days in 1911,
said he began life as a pit boy in
the Pittsburgh coal mines, then
! came to South Florida and “struck
lit rich" in deep-sea charter boat
| fishing and other ventures.
“I don’t need the money," he said,
i referring to the submarines deal,
'"but this looked like too good a
' thing to miss.”
Negoiiators lo Reopen
Mine Parley Today in
Effort to End Strike
By James Y. Newton
Coal operators and John L. Lewis'
United Mine Workers this afternoon
were to renew efforts to agree on
terms of a new soft coal work con
tract and end the nine-day strike
of 400,000 miners, which already is
cutting deeply into the Nation's
supplies of industrial fuel.
The negotiators were to meet
again at the Shoreham Hotel at
2:30 p.m., after a two-day recess.
So far little progress has been re
ported toward drafting a strike
ending wage pact, and there was
small reason to hope for a settle
ment this week.
I". S. May Intervene.
There were indications that the
Government would step into the dis
pute w-ith a settlement proposition,
as a Federal labor official predicted
that something along that line would
be done by the end of the week.
Mr. Lewis, according to the oper
ators, has yet to outline his wage
demands and has devoted four weeks
of talks almost solely to issues in
volving mine safety and a union
'"health and welfare" fund.
Meantime, unemployment in other
industries resulting from the strike
reached 22,000, with steel mills, fuel
carrying railroads, steel fabricating
plants and trucking concerns hardest
hit.
Steel Plants Report Layoffs.
Two United States Steel Corp sub
sidiaries — Carnegie - Illinois Steel
Corp. and National Tube Co.—re
ported layoffs totaling 13,000 in the
Pittsburgh area, and Carnegie-Illi
nois said the coal shortage made
idle another 2,000 in Chicago plants.
At least 7.000 had been furloughed
by the railroads, trucking com
panies and fabricating plants.
Chester Bowles, director of eco
nomic stabilization, called a meet
ing of his staff to consider the whole
mine and mill picture. Mr. Bowdes
is concerned, since any wage in
crease given the miners will necessi
tate higher coal prices.
Three Fatal Shootings
In New York Probed
By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, April 9.—Three men
were killed and a fourth critically
wounded within five hours last night
and early today in a series of shoot
ings in Manhattan and the Bronx.
A city-wide investigation, headed
by Police Commissioner Arthur W.
Wallander. failed, however, to lead
to any arrest.
Among the victims was Charles
H. Dimick, 61. of Tenafiy, N. J.,
president of the Richmond Piece
D>e Works. Inc., of Richmond, Va.,
and the Fairlawn Finishing Co.,
Fairlawn, N. J„ who died after tell
ing police he was shot by a sailor.
Two patrolmen found Mr. Dimick,
a bullet through his body, leaning
against his automobile near Colum
bus avenue at Sixty-second street.
They said he told them he had been
shot by a sailor to whom he had
| given a ride. Mr. Dimick died on
■ arrival at Roosevelt Hospital.
In a second slaying, which police
| attributed to robbery. Samuel Sun
! shine, 54, proprietor of a bakery and
i grocery, was found dead in the rear
of the store with a bullet wound
i in his head.
Later, police reported, Daniel La
gana, 32-year-old former Marine,
was shot to death as he stepped out
of his car in front of his Bronx
home. His body bore four bullet
wounds. Police gave no possible
| motive.
The fourth victim was Robert
Rifkin, 22, a veteran of the Army
! Air Forces, who was shot in the ab
, domen during an attempted holdup.

Nazis'Defense Wages
War on Jews Through
Trial, Jackson Says
By the Associated Press
NUERNBERG, April 9.—Justice
Robert H. Jackson, chief Amer
ican prosecutor, charged before
the International Military Tri
bunal today that the defense was
attempting to “disseminate anti
Semitic propaganda” through
the war crimes trial and had
committed a “flagrant ease of
contempt of court.”
Mr. Jackson based his charges on
an exhibit of documentary evidence
| which the tribunal's presses had
•printed for defendant Alfred Rosen
berg. Mr. Jackson contended the
material, which he described as
“violently anti-Semite and irrele
vant rubbish" had been submitted to
;the printers by Rosenberg’s counsel
I after it had been rejected by the
tribunal.
Sharp Reaction From Defense.
Mr. Jackson’s charges brought an
immediate and sharp reaction from
defense counsel, whose spokesman
tall, white-haired Dr. Rudolf Dix,
replied with a suggestion that Mr.
Jackson retract.
“I stand on the facts." Mr. Jack
son rejoined, and exhibited to the
tribunal stenciled copies of the re
jected material.
Mr. Jackson read to the tribunal
; excerpts from Rosenberg’s book of
documentary evidence which char
acterized Jews as a “bastard popu
lation * 4 * arrogant, shrewd and
• crooked.”
i “The United States cannot print
• and disseminate to the press this
violent anti-Semitism,” Mr. Jackson
declared. “The defense believes we
are here to try the issue of the
.causes of anti-Semitism, with this
tribunal as the sounding board.
That is wrong. The issue is not
Rosenberg’s philosophy, but we are
charging the murder of four to five
• million Jews.
Included “by Mistake."
The American prosecutor proposed
shutting off printing facilities to the
defense.
Rosenberg’s counsel contended
that the anti-Semitic passages read
by Mr. Jackson were quotations
from a French philosopher and were
included in the printing order “by
mistake.”
Mr. Jackson's blast, delivered at
the opening of the day's session,
provoked a 90-minute argument
over the rules on submitting, proc
essing and printing documentary
evidence. There have been frequent
differences between the prosecution
and the defense relative to material
of questionable relevance.
To alleviate these differences, the
tribunal accepted Mr. Jackson's sug
gestion that a special master be
appointed to rule on the relevance
of material submitted for printing,
thus relieving the prosecutors and
the tribunal of this problem.
Dutch Beer Export Banned
NEW YORK, April 9 (£>)._a

Alleged Match Cartel
Involving 5 U. S. Firms
Dissolved by Decree
By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, April 9.—Federal
Judge Samuel Mandelbaum to
day signed a consent decree
terminating what the Govern
; ment charged was a world-wide
cartel formed by five of the Na
l tion’s largest match producers,
| the Swedish Match Co., and offi
,cers and affiliates of the com
| panies.
The decree ended a civil suit filed
I May 1, 1944, by the Justice Depart
' ment's antitrust division in which
| it charged the firms with maintain
ing an international cartel to con
trol the manufacture and distribu
tion of matches throughout the
world.
In signing the decree, the defend
ants stated they did not admit any
violation of the law, and the Gov
ernment stipulated tl.e decree was
not to be taken as an admission by
any of the defendants of unlawful
activities.
Defendants Are Listed.
Defendants consenting to the
entry of the decree were;
Diamond Match Co. of New York
the Nation's largest manufacturer
of matches; William A. Fairburn of
Oaji, Calff., Diamond president;
Howard F. Holman of Mahwah, N
ij., company vice president.
Universal Match Corp. of St.
Louis, second largest American pro
ducers of matches; Ohio Match Co.
j of New‘York. B-F-D Co. of New
York, and Robert G. Fairburn of
New York, president of B-F-D; Lion
Match Co., Inc., of New York.
Also the William Gordon Corp. of
New York, which the Government
said was a personal holding com
pany of William A. Fairburn, owning
51 per cent of the B-F-D stock, and
a substantial number of stocks in
Ohio Match Co., and the Lion
Match Co.
The Swedish Match Co. of Jon
kopings, Sweden, world's largest
match producers; Trans-American
Match Corp. of New York, and Paul
Bertil Lind, its president, and the
New York Match Co., Inc., of New
York, and Frederick Atterberg, its
president.
Trans-American and New York
Match were described in the Gov
ernment complaint as American
agents of Swedish Match.
British firm Implicated.
Although not listed as a de
fendant in the final action, the
British firm of Bryant and May
was said in a Justice Department
statement to have “entered into a
conspiracy" with Swedish and
American producers which “suc
cessfully suppressed the manu
facture of Everlasting matches."
The Justice Department asserted
it had been unable to serve the
British firm with papers in the
case.
Attorney General Clark de
scribed the “Everlasting match"
as one which may be struck sev
eral thousand times before it is
consumed. The Diamond Match
Co. said in a statement, however,
that it knew of no such device.
The Attorney General said the
agreement signed in New York
“represents a successful conclu
sion to one of the major cartel
cases instituted by the Depart
ment of Justice. The relief de
creed should result in bringing to
users the world over regular and
adequate supplies of qualit
matches at competitive prices.**
"The industry under this decree
should be open to any one desir
ing to produce matches, and the
smallest manufacturer able to
operate with the same technical
advantages and know-how as the
giants of the industry.”

Montgomery Orders
Bond Issue to Finance
Northwest Freeway
! Issuance of bonds to provide
sufficient funds for the proposed
Northern freeway between Mac
i Arthur boulevard and Bradley boule
vard was authorized today by the
Board of Montgomery County Com
missioners after a delegation of
Bradley Hills residents had re
quested delay until they could de
termine the exact location of the
route.
The commissioners adopted the
resolution submitted last week by
Park Commissioner E. Brooke Lee
after Commissioner William H.
Prescott moved to defer action for
one week until Bradley Hills resi
dents could confer with the State
Roads Commission in Baltimore.
Richard H. Lansdale, however,
moved a substitute resolution to ap
prove Mr. Lee's plan, but added
an amendment declaring it to be
the sense of the board that the
freeway should not pass through a
developed subidvision.
Preseott Refuses to Vote.
The substitute motion carried,
with Mr. Prescott not recorded as
voting.
The Bradley Hills delegation,
headed by Louis A. Gravelle. asked
the commissioners to postpone the
authorization of funds until after
the exact route of the dual-lane,
limited-access highway has been
established by the State Road Com
mission and the Federal Public
Roads Administration.
Chairman Alfred D. Noyes told the
delegation the mere act of author
izing funds, which the State is to
repay the county later, does not
in itself constitute an approval of
j a tentatively established route
within an 800-foot wide strip pass
ing through Bradley Kills.
In response to a question from
Preston E. Wire, Mr. Noyes conceded
. that once funds are made available
to the State, the County Commis
| sioners will have little if any say in
the location of the freeway.

U. 5. Will Accept Peron Regime
As 'Neighbor' If It Acts Part
By Garnett D. Horner
The United States is willing to
treat the government of Argen
tine President-elect Juan D.
Peron as a “good neighbor” if it
will act like one.
This is the eflcct of a new bid for
complete Western Hemisphere har
mony made public by Secretary of
State Byrnes late yesterday with the
concurrence of a majority of the
other American republics.
Mr. Byrnes issued a memorandum
disclosing willingness to sign a
hemispheric defense, pact with the
new government of Argentina pro
vided it carries out with "deeds and
not merely promises” its inter
American commitments, especially
Its pledge to eliminate Axis in
fluences.
Previously the United States had
refused to negotiate such a pact with
the present Farrell military regime
in Argentina and had denounced
Col. Peron, “strong man” of that
regime, as a leader in an alleged
conspiracy to give the Nazis a post
war foothold in the Americas.
The offer of another chance to
Col. Peron apparently was forced by
the attitude of other American re
publics following his recent victory
in an election which all sides agreed
was conducted fairly.
The State Department said some
of the other American governments
fully agreed with the United States
Blue Book charges against Col.
Peron and the Argentine military
regime but “others emphasized the
changed position resulting from the
recent election.”
All the other Americas heard from
so far—a majority of the 21 Re
publics—agree with the United
States memorandum making Argen
t tine participation in the projected
new hemisphere defense pact con
ditional upon prompt fulfillment of
her previous commitments, the de
partment said.
“Those undertakings are plain
and unequivocal,” the document
released by Mr. Byrnes asserted.
“They require the elimination from
this hemisphere of Axis influences
which have threatened the security
of the inter-American system
"Were such unequivocal and sus
tained performance to ensue, the
road w'ould then be open to that
‘complete unity of the peoples of
America,’ and the negotiation and
signature of a mutual assistance
pact. But there must be deeds and
not merely promises.”
The statement said it is not clear
that the recent Argentine elections
will remove the conditions which
had caused the United States “great
embarrassment and concern" in its
relations with Argentina, but de
clared this Government does not
believe the Argentine people “in
tended to approve the continuance
of conditions which would threaten
the safety of the inter-American
system.”
It expressed hope that a confer
ence to negotiate the proposed de
fense pact, originally scheduled to
be held in Rio de Janiero last Octo
ber but postponed indefinitely, can
be called after the new Argentine
government “has had a reasonable
ume” to comply with its anti-Axis
good neighbor promises.

Retirement Pay Bill
For Admirals Signed
By the Associated Press
President Truman yesterday
signed a bill providing the same re
tirement pay and other benefits for
rear admirals recalled from inactive
duty as are received by rear ad
mirals who have remained con
tinuously on active duty.
The measure, introduced by Sen
ator Brewster, Republican, of Maine,
was designed to benefit a few rear
admirals—among them Explorer

failed to benefit from their rear

Council Jurisdiction
Of Iran Issue Breaks
Charter, Reds Charge
By the Associated Press
LONDON, April 9—The Soviet
government newspaper Izvestia sa C
today that the United Nations Se
curity Council, by retaining juris
diction of the Russian-Iran dispute!
"broke the Charter of the Unite''
Nations Organization.”
Izvestia, quoted by thp Mosel:,
radio in a broadcast heard here, re
iterated the views expressed yester
day by the Communist organ Prav
da and declared that a bilateral
agreement between Russia and Iran
vincicated the Soviet policy and
would "strengthen international
peace and security."
Izvestia said "progressive circles
and the press" in Iran had received
news of the agreement "with great
satisfaction." It quoted Iranian
newspaper as saying the “agreement
carries a hard blow against war
mongers and reactionary elements,
since it takes out of their hand
their most important weapon of
propaganda against the Soviet Un
ion."
Izvestia said the Security Council
had no right to consider the ques
tion, because Soviet-Iranian rela
tions did not "contain one grain of
that threat <to international peace;
which is mentioned” in the United
Nations Charter.
The placing of the question be
fore the Security Council, it said,
“was actually in part called forth
by a tendency of Iranian reaction
aries not to allow a definite solution
of Soviet-Iranian relations and to
reap advantage from arificial ag
gravation of relations between the
Soviet Union and other great pow
ers."
Iranian Agreement Remains
Russia's Top News Story
MOSCOW. April 9 VP,.—The new
Russian-Iranian agreement re
mained the chief news story today
in the Russian press and Russians
generally seemed to feel that the
outcome completely vindicated the
Soviet Union’s handling of Hie dis
pute with Iran.
Publication of messages exchanged
between Prime Minister Stalin and
Iranian Premier Ahmed Qavam, and
between Qavam and Soviet Foreign
Minister Vyacheslav Molotov, gave
the Russian public the feeling that
relations with Iran were at their
best level in many years.
Foreign observers expressed belief
the Russian government was reso
'ute in its stand that the Iranian
question had no business remaining
on the agenda of the United Nations
Security Council and that it would
insist that the matter be dropped.
Some observers took the view that
further efforts to keep tf^e issue
alive might cause bad feelings in
Moscow.
