nesses had not been written into yesterday's agreement, negotiated with McCarthy and three other G.O.P. members of the Senate subcommittee. Later, on his return to the Pentagon, he was asked again about the lack of a written pledge about the "assurances." "I guess I didn't handle it too well," Stevens said. Stevens, in his statement, emphasized it was not his idea to cancel today's scheduled showdown with McCarthy before a nationwide TV audience, which had been all set up. He said he agreed to the cancellation because of the subcommittee's "assurances," and he re-dared: "If it had not been for those assurances, I would never have entered into any agreement whatsoever.

I want to make it perfectly clear that should such abuses occur in any quarter in the future, I shall once again take any steps at my disposal to protect the rights of any individuals in this department." Approved by Wilson It was Stevens' action in forbidding two Army generals to obey subpoenas from the McCarthy subcommittee that led McCarthy to invite Stevens to a face-to-face showdown on the Continued from First Page whether the company would have to apply to the P.S.C. for permission to reduce the discount rate on county bills. "We wouldn't on city bills," he said. At present, the average family of four in the city gets a gross water bill of $4.14 every two months, based on a typical consumption of 5,000 gallons of water a month. If the bill is paid within the 10-day period, it is discounted to $2.76.

Rates Higher In County In most of the county, this same typical family would get a gross bill of $6.21 for two months. If paid during the 10-day period, the county bill would be discounted to $4.14. In the so-called booster area of the county, east of Blankenbaker Lane along Brownsboro Road, the same typical family would get a gross bill of $8.28 and a discount to $5.22 if the bill is paid in the 10-day period. If the discount rate were re Soviet Polar Explorer Dies New York, Feb. 25 (IP) Vladimir Vize, leading Soviet polar explorer and scientist, died at age of 68, Soviet newspapers reaching here today reported.

Witnesses said he was hit when he dashed into the street. The driver, Eugene Place, and his wife stand between the boy and their car as a policeman is shown arriving on a motorcycle.

Donald was seriously hurt. Bolin ran from his home with a blanket to put over the injured boy. Continued from First Page on which Stevens based his original blast of "abusive" tactics by McCarthy contained "false" statements, and he told reporters: "Zwicker will be asked whether he was mistaken or was deliberately trying to misinform (Stevens)." The senator said it was "strictly untrue" that he had refused to allow Zwicker to be represented by counsel at the New York hearing, as implied in Stevens' statement tonight. "I'll ask Zwicker whether he wanted counsel, and if so why he didn't tell said. Asked whether he thought Stevens had "capitulated" in yesterday's truce agreement, McCarthy said, "Absolutely not." McCarthy had been in a jovial mood while talking with newsmen as he waited to hear what Stevens had to say at the White House.

When the word finally came, McCarthy's smile froze. He sat in silence a couple of minutes, then swung into his accusations of "false untrue." 'Not Running Committee' "I very carefully explained to the secretary a number of times that he is the secretary of the Army and is not running the committee," he said. Before getting word of Stevens' statement, McCarthy had told reporters: "As far as I am concerned, the incident is closed. We all make occasional errors of judgment. Bob Stevens and I have differed on this.

I think on the whole he's doing a very good job." These latest turns in the McCarthy-Stevens feud came shortly after Republican leaders on Capitol Hill had failed in agitated efforts to write a new "peace pact" modifying the McCarthy-Stevens truce reached yesterday. The move by key G.O.P. figures was apparently designed to take some of the sting out of Stevens' feeling that he had been given the rough edge in the "surrender" episode. Conferences Heralded Move Hurried all-day conferences at the White House, on Capitol Hill, and at the Pentagon had signaled earlier that some" move was impending in an effort to heal the breach. Stevens himself had denied re of Bricker Proposal Senate Vote of 50-42 hard core of senators opposed to any change in the Constitution at this time.

Knowland Is Hopeful The Senate recessed soon after defeating Morse's motion, with Senator Knowland of California, the Republican floor leader, expressing high hopes that action House Kills 2 Bills Calling For Sales Tax Continued from First Page orators in the house spent more than an hour arguing the merits of their own bills and decrying the disadvantages of the other. Brown moved first that H.B. 7 be given a reading despite the committee's "no-expression" report. Then Weintraub offered to amend Brown's motion to change the bill number from 7 to 410. The House rejected Wein-traub's amendment and his bill in a resounding roll-call vote of 11 to 73.

Then it refused, 40 to 38, to allow Brown's bill to be read. "You can vote this measure down, but it will rise again," Brown told the House. "Like truth, it will rise again and continue to be with you until you meet the challenge." Brown outlined the many needs of the aged, dependent children, schools teachers, and others in Kentucky. His bill, he asserted, would lift Kentucky from the lower ranks of the states. "You get in this life what you pay for," Brown said.

"You can't build a good school system on starving teachers. It is an indictment of our society that we don't put up one thin dime for the handicapped." Called Economically Unsound Brown- estimated his sales-tax bill would produce $45,000,000, but would cost Kentucky the $20,000,000 it now collects in income taxes. This would leave a gain of for public-assistance matching funds and $15,00,000 for a school-foundation program. Brown said Weintnub's bill "has the widest appeal to the most people without doing anything that I ever saw. "I never saw a bill that offers more and does less." Weintraub countered by charging that Brown's bill "is economically unsound and will not help the very people he says it will help." Brown's bill, added Weintraub, will only bring in about more the first year than the State would receive without it.

Brown's bill, declared Weintraub, would shift the tax burden from the wealthy to the poorer citizens by repealing the personal income tax. "Who do you think will pay that $20,000,000 in income tax the State will lose? He asked. "It's a cinch the wealthy man won't pay it. There are now some 2,000 people making $50,000 a year or more and they paid last year some $2,000,000 in taxes." Weintraub said his bill would give tax relief to the 237,000 taxpayers who now earn less than $5,000 a year. Says 23 Have Both Taxes Of the 34 states that now levy sales tax, Weintraub said 23 of them also have State income taxes.

Further, said Weintraub, Brown's bill would impose an additional one-cent tax on each pack of cigarettes in addition to the new 3-cent tax, and would impose a one-cent tax on sales of newspapers, and another penny on each gallon of gasoline. Brown rose to challenge this statement, and Weintraub read a portion of Brdwn's bill to the House to make his point. Representative Cassius M. Clay, Paris Democrat, asked Weintraub how any bill could contravene the constitutional requirement that highway-user taxes, such as those on gasoline, must be paid into the road fund? "It can't," Weintraub replied. "Mr.

Brown's bill is absolutely unconstitutional." 3 Stills Seized In Harlan Sptciil to Th Courltr.Journal Frankfort, Feb. 25.

As it was, Brick-er's modification didn't get even a simple majojrity. Would Need Legislation The rejected new language by Bricker read as follows: "A treaty or other international agreement shall become effective as internal law in the United States only through legislation by the Congress unless in advising and consenting to a treaty the Senate, by a vote of two thirds of the senators present and voting, shall provide that such a treaty may become effective as i 2 Big Stores C.H. KIRCHDORFER'S issue. Roger Kyes, deputy undersecretary of defense, told newsmen that Stevens' statement had "the full approval" of Secretary of Defense Wilson's office. Stevens issued the statement after conferring with Kyes and other Administration officials for an hour and a half at the White House.

The group then went to Eisenhower living quarters in the White House and conferred with him for about 30 minutes. Among other things, Stevens said in the statement that because "the purpose and meaning" of the Capitol Hill peace pact had been "misinterpreted," he wanted to "make certain things clear." "I did not at that meeting and had not receded at any time from any of the principles upon which I stand," he said. G.O.P, Moves Blow Up Republican moves to modify the terms of the original Md-Carthy-Stevcns pact blew up late in the day after the subcommittee had promised a statement. Senator Dirkscn 111.) said the subcommittee was unable to put any pledge not to abuse witnesses down in black and white without offending either McCarthy or Stevens or stating which was correct. On Capitol Hill the storm blew up demands that Eisenhower speak out on the controversy, and Representative Celler N.

declared that McCarthy's investigative sorties were verging on a "national scandal." Celler said the President should take "a consistent, open, and justified stand in cutting Senator McCarthy down to size." Abroad, British newspapers splashed the story of yesterday's agreement as a "surrender" by the Eiserhower Administration, and the staid London Times declared: "Senator McCarthy achieved what General Burgoyne and General Cornwallis never achieved (in the American Revolutionary War) the surrender of the American Army." Textile Union Urges Stevens To Resign New York, Feb. 25 (U.R)-The C.I.O. textile workers today urged Army Secretary Robert T. Stevens, a former textile manufacturer, to resign because of his "craven surrender" to Senator McCarthy The union's executive council also criticized President Eisenhower, who "as commander in chief, quite aside from his per sonal history as field commander and chief of staff, has abandoned his comrades in arms to the wolves of partisan politics."

Nevertheless, the White House became the forum for Stevens' statement, in which he said: "I shall never accede to the abuse of Army personnel under any circumstances, including committee hearings. I shall never accede to their being browbeaten or humiliated." White House Press Secretary James Hagerty, emphasizing that Stevens had the backing of I the President, said: "He (Eisenhower) has seen the statement.

He approves and endorses it 100 per cent." With Hagerty standing at his elbow, Stevens parried questions from newsmen. Several times Hagerty motioned to him not to reply. Noting Stevens' statement that yesterday's "memorandum of understanding" with McCarthy had been newsmen asked how it had been misconstrued. Stevens kept silent after Hagerty gestured to him not. to answer.

"Are you going to continue as secretary of the Army?" a reporter asked. Hagerty Answers Question Before Stevens could answer, Hagerty broke in: "I'll answer that. Of course." Stevens declined to say why the "assurances' of no further "abusive" treatment of Army wit You Can't Match FRIGIDAIRE And you can't match KIRCHDORFER'S super appliance stores for quality and deperidable service.

Floor leader Knowland, in a swipe at the Democratic votes of Republican hanger, urges an end to the Senate practice of giving committee chairmanships on seniority basis.

Story on Page 3. on the Bricker amendment can be completed tomorrow. The Senate has been debating the issue most of the time since January 20. If a final vote is not reached tomorrow, Knowland said he would ask for a Saturday session. The next major piece of business is a vote on a substitute version offered by Senator George of Georgia, senior Democratic member of the Foreign Relations Committee.

George's vide: version i would pro- "Section 1. A provision of a treaty or other international agreement which conflicts with this Constitution shall not be of any force or effect. "Section 2. An International agreement other than a treaty shall become effective as internal law in the United States only by an act of Congress." The key section of his plan is similar to the rejected Bricker clause, but it would apply only to executive agreements and not to treaties. Merging of Hawaii, Alaska Bills Possible Washington, Feb.

25 (Senator Smathers Fla.) predicted today that "close to half" of the Senate will vote to combine the Hawaii and Alaska statehood bills on the Senate floor. A leader of opposition to statehood for both territories, Smathers told a news conference the move to add the Alaska statehood proposal to the Hawaii bill will probably be the first test. He said it probably would come after a week of debate, which he estimated might start Tuesday. 1954 Model tlCHS AT KIRCHDORFER'S internal law without legislation by Congress." After this section was voted on, the Senate struck another hard blow at Bricker's original version with a voice vote to eliminate a provision which would have given Congress power to regulate all executive agreements. Unlike treaties, these agreements made by the President with foreign nations do not now have to be ratified by the Senate to become effective.

Morse was joined by 16 Democrats and one Republican, Senator Wiley of Wisconsin, in his futile effort to send the whole question back to the Judiciary Committee. Usually this means shelving a measure, and those who voted with Morse may represent the by Henry B. Heyburn, member of the City-County Air Board. He challenged Heyburn, and said Heyburn wrote him a three-page letter of apology. Heyburn said yesterday that the letter was not an apology, but an explanation of misunderstood remarks.

Heyburn added that he doesn't think the opposition comes from subversive elements. "I don't know that the Communists are doing it here at all the Louisville Nashvillle Railroad is back of local oposition to this thing." Heyburn said the L. N. has consistently said it would oppose Standiford Fields expansion, and has done "everything it can" to prevent it. The proposed runway extension might require considerable acreage owned by the L.

N. west of Ashbottom Road. Say Talks Were Friendly From other sources, it was learned, however, that local officials have had recently what they consider "very friendly" talks on the matter with John Tilford, L. N. president.

One source said they have discussed either leasing or obtaining "navigation easements" on the L. N. land. Tilford was out of town yesterday and could not be reached for comment. During yesterday's "briefing," Merkel explained that the Guard unit's military mission "is helping the defense of a seven-state area containing 30 per cent of the population and industry of the nation.

Enemy jet bombers can reach Louisville from the Canadian border in 1 hour, 20 minutes." He said to station a regular Air Force unit here, instead of the Guard unit, would increase the annual cost by half. "Our mission is strategic not to fight an air battle over Louisville, but to get in the air in a hurry and fight anywhere," he said. 'In God Wc Trust' Stamp Will Go On Sale In April Washington, Feb. 25 (U.R) Postmaster General Summerfield said today the first regular United States stamp carrying the motto "In God We Trust" will go on sale here early in April. Summerfield said- the 8-cent stamp also will be the first two-color stamp of a small denomination.

The stamp will have a blue background shading to a white halo around a picture of the Statue of Liberty, printed in red. The motto "In God We Trust," which is used on U. S. coins, will form an arch over the statue in the stamp picture. The stamp is used principally for international mail.

BAR Continued from First Page I feel we should speak our piece." Neither Broaddus nor Wetherby made any specific answer to Ardery's statement. Both have been at the receiving end of months of arguments for and against Standiford's expansion. Talked to Air Force Aide Broaddus conferred recently in Washington on the problem of what to do about the Air National Guard unit at Standiford Field. He said yesterday he had talked to Air Undersecretary Bradley Nash "who asked me to say nothing for a while." Wetherby's only comment was that "I think the City-County Air Board has made some mistakes." He did not elaborate. Lt.

Col. Lee Merkel, operations officer for the wing, gave' report ers copies of two handbills. One was distributed by the Commun ity Co-ordinating Committee of Louisville, composed of 12 representatives of civic groups opposed to various aspects of Standiford Field noise, hazards, or expansion. The other was distributed in Newark, N. by the Communist Party of New Jersey, after fatal air crashes near Newark airport.

Pattern Is 'Quite Similar' Said Merkel: "There may be no connection between the groups, but the pattern is quite similar, and at any rate, they both affect national defense." These innuendoes brought reaction from Marvin J. Sternberg, leader of the co-ordinating committee, George R. Holman, chairman of a special committee of the Prestonia School Sternberg said he had distributed one local handbill headed: "Beware. The Jets are Coming. The Creepers are at work." This urged attendance at a 1953 hearing on airport zoning at City Hall.

"No person as far as I know who is allied with me, or working with me, is a Communist, has any Communist tendency, nor has said anything to me which would lead me to believe him a Communist. I am not a Communist, have never been a Commu nist, am not now or ever will belong to an association that was communistic or has communistic tendencies." An attorney, Sternberg has long been associated with community clubs, chiefly as former president of The Beech-mont Civic Club, which opposed the expansion of what it considered a hazardous airport.
