For 'Shattering' GOP
WASHINGTON, March 9 (JP)—Sen. Ralph E. Flanders (R-Vt) charged in the Senate today that
Sena Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis) "is doing his best to shatter" the Republican party, and by his
actions is diverting the nation from "far more dangerous problems" than internal communism.
• "The dangerous attack , is from without, not from within," Flanders- said after reviewing prob
lems of dealing with Communists in Korea, Indochina, Italy, France and Latin America.

With the world split into Com
munist and non-Communist
camps, -he, said, McCarthy "dons
his war paint.- He goes into his
war dance. He emits his war
whoops. .He goes forth to battle
and produly returns with the
scalp of a pink Army dentist"
This was a reference to Dr. Irv
ing Peress, a New York Dentist
whom the Army gave an honor
able discharge despite McCarthy's
protests that he had refused to
answer questions on possible
Communist links.
Refused Comment
McCarthy, who was in' New
York today, at first declined to
comment on Flanders' speech,
then said "I haven't got time to
answer Republican heroes.".
Flanders, who calls himself a
Member of the "liberal wing" of
the Republican party, swung out
in a free-ranging speech, which
Sen. Lehman (D-NY) praised as
a "very fine statement" and
which a Republican colleague,
Sen. Cooper (R-Ky) said showed
"moderation and sanity."
Strongly. Anti-McCarthy
It was one of the first instances
in which a Republican has spok
en out so strongly in the Senate
againSt "McCarthyism," although
the senator's activities have long
been a point of controversy with
in his party.
Meantime McCarthy, b alk e d
thus far_ in his efforts to get free
radio-TV time for a personal re
ply to Adlai Stevenson, told a
New York news conference "I in .
tend to test out whether they (the
networks) can give Stevenson
time for a vicious attack on me
and then arrogantly refuse me
time to answer."
Stevenson, Democratic presi
dential nominee in 1952, told a
party rally in Miami' Beach, Fla.,
Saturday night that the Republi
can party is "half McCarthy and
half Eisenhower" and is using
"slander, dissension and decep
tion" in its effort to win the con
gressional elections this year.

AEC Announces
Plans to Bulk!
4 'Furnaces'
WASHINGTON, March 9 (p)—
The Atomic' Energy Commission
tonight disclosed plans to build
four more atomic "furnaces"—in
eluding one using thorium as a
fuel for the first time—in a
stepped-up quest for economical,
industrial power from the atom.
The program •was outlined by
Dr. Henry Smyth, a member of
the commission, in an address pre
pared for a meeting of the Ameri
can Institute of Chemical Engi
neers here.
All the new reactors—planned
for construction over the next five
years—are of unusual design. And
the Jutline of two of them involv
ing the "breeding" of atomic fuel,
presumably means the AEC has
gained new confidence in the
practical possibilities of produc
ing in a furnace more fuel than
is actually consumed in keeping it
going.
Longshore Heads
Warned by: Court
NEW YORK, March 9 (AP)
Three longshore union leaders in
volved in the paralyzing tie-up of
New York piers were threatened
today with federal court contempt
action.
Outside th.. court, 500 longshore
men marched with placards as
sailing the National Labor Rela
tions Board.
Federal Judge David H. Edel
stein ordered the three to appear
in court March 16 for presentation
of any defense they may wish to
make against being cited for con
tempt.
The action was taken at the re
quest of the NLRB.
France, Germany
Agree to Try
Saar Settlement
PARIS, March 9 (!P)— France
and Germany agreed in just 90
minutes today to try for a settle
ment on the Saar based on a plan
for Europeanization of the small
but industrially rich border area.
The agreement, after months of
delay, was reached in two conver
sations, between West Germany
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and
French Foreign Minister Georges
Bidault.
Both men were obviously moti
vated by what they consider a
more urgent matter for their two
countries—the European Defense
Community treaty.
The French National Assembly
has made a settlement of the Saar
a condition of its ratification of
EDC. Adenauer is an outspoken
advocate of. EDC, which will put
a half million Germans in uni
form in a six-nation European
army.
Adenauer and Bidault held two
meetings. Apparently without
warning to the Germans, Bidault
presented at the first one a French
proposal spelling out French de
mands amending the plan which
Adenauer has assumed would be
the basis of future negotiations.
On receiving the French draft.
Adenauer retired to the offices of
the German diplomatic mission in
Paris to consult with his advisers.
Forty minutes later he returned
to the ministry to tell Bidault the
French proposals were satisfac
tory as the basis of future talks
between experts of both countries.
A strong body of German
opinion urged that the Adenauer
government press to re-absorb the
Saar, whose people are German
in language and culture.

Tax Cuts
Approved
y House
WASHINGTON, March 9 (IP)—
The, House Ways and Means Com
mittee gave final approval today
to a vast tax reform bill cutting
taxes on individuals and business
by $1,397,000,000 the first year and
more than two billions later.
_ .
The bill reorganizes and re
writes the entire tax structure,
for the first time in more than 70
years. It aims at removing scores
of alleged inequities and loop
holes, at giving_the tax code a
"new look"—s impl e r, clearer,
fairer.
The bill would give tax cuts
chiefly through a long list of new
or more liberal deductions. One
controversial provision sharply re
duces individual income taxes on
stock dividends.
Other provisions, for individ
uals, would provide new or bigger
allowances for medical expenses,
retirement income, single heads of
families, dependents making more
than $6OO a year, child-care ex
penses of working widows and
widowers, charitable contribu
tions, sail conservation costs to
farmers, and other items.
For corporations, it provides
much more rapid tax deductions
for depreciation of new plants
and equipment, more liberal de
ductions for losses in past years,
more liberal treatment of retained
earnings and research and devel
opment expenses, a reduction in
taxes on income from operations
abroad, more freedom in account
ing practices, and many lesser
benefits.
