LIKENS UNION HEAD TO HITLER, STALIN Judge Bailey Says He Will Hand Down Decision Monday on Making Order Permanent. Stanley P.

Clay, attorney for a group of plaintiffs in an injunction suit against officers of Teamsters local No. 823, yesterday afternoon delivered a scorching courtroom attack on Floyd C. Webb, loca president, branding him "a dictator of the Ozarks" and likening him to Hitler and Stalin. The attorney's attack climaxed his argument against defense motion to dissolve the temporary restraining order issued against the officers March 6. In his argument.

Clay ticked off charges of "fraud, violence and misconduct" he said had been perpetrated by defendants in the injunction suit and said proof of those charges had been given in testimony in a protracted hearing; before Circuit Judge Walter E. Bailey. Decision Monday. Judge Bailey, following conclusion of arguments by defense and plaintiffs' attorneys, said he will take the evidence under advisement and hand down his derision as to making permanent the restraining order on Monday. Clay said testimony in the case has proved "illegal election of officers, illegal tenure of certain individuals in office, fraud by officers of the local against union members and the international Teamsters headquarters" and other misconduct.

He sought to obtain a court ordqr to remove permanently from control of the union Ihe six officers who are named defendants in the euit. Defense attorneys based most of their argument for a motion to dissolve the order on the premise that plaintiffs in the case have come "prematurely" to the civil courts for relief of alleged grievances. They contended that the plaintiffs have ignored entirely a whole structure within the union for remedy of grievances. Clay cited several court derisions he said proved a in cases where officers of such an Revolver Pointed at Baby As Man, Woman Rob Store Bandits Obtain More Than $150 in Cash and Checks From Grocery at 2602 Range Line Operated by George Coy-Infant in Arms of Airs.

At. that point, the woman rusquely said "We mean business --if you don't believe it, just try omething," according to statements given by the robbery vic- ms to detectives. She then ordered Coy lo toss his billfold on the floor, from where she picked it up, then told him to lie down on the floor, the detectives were told.

Calls Attention to Motion.

The attorney called the attention of the court lo a motion adopted by the union executive board on August 36, 1953 (according to from minutes of the meeting which were introduced as evidence yesterday morning) which gave Webb exclusive power to direct polir-ies of the union. He said "that alone should prove allegations of gross mismanagement and abuse of authority." He referred to several cancelled checks and vouchers introduced Tuesday and said that they showed purchases of many items for which a labor union no conceivable use." would have He listed among these furniture, appliances and other items shown on the vouchers introduced as exhibits. Defense attorneys later told the court that the exhibits "do not show fraudulent conversion of funds" and said "we can explain every one" of them. Daniel J. Leary, defense attorney, also told the court that "these items (the checks ami vouchers), even if they proved wrongdoing, are not of such significance to justify the intervention of the courts." Objective Met, He Says.

Leary said the objective of fh? union, which he said was increasing the economic security of its members, has been met fully in the case of the Teamsters local. Clay said in his argument that plaintiffs in the case "do not want to break up the union and do not want the court to take any step in that direction." He pleaded with the court not to permit the officers to return to their offices, from which they were enjoined several days ago, "so that they can continue their evil and reckless acts and enterprises." As for defense claims that the plaintiffs have not a remedies available within the union structure, Clay dwelt at length on instances where he said members had been "ignored" when they attempted to protest to international Teamsters officers. He said the union judicial procedure, which has been described at length by defense counsel in their argument, was "inadequate" and reiterated that it would have been "vain and futile" for plaintiffs in the case to process their corn- la in ts through normal union channels.

COKXELL WASHINGTON, March 31 UP) President Eisenhower signed today a bill that will cut excise taxes by 999 million dollars and save money for nearly everyone who spends any.

Eisenhower announced to a news conference that he would sign the measure. This and other tax reductions, he said, should help business. Five hours later, the President his name on the bill. The Chief Executive made the tax announcement and one or two others, answered a few questions, and then turned over his news conference to Chairman Lewis L. Strauss of the Atomic Energy Commission for a disclosure that: The United States now can make a hydrogen bomb large enough to 'destroy" any city in the world-- it out of commission, that is, if not actually flatten it.

Comments on Russia. Eisenhower himself told a questioner that some persons believe the degree to which Russia has opened up on details of hydrogen weapon explosions indicates some slight change of policy and a willingness to negotiate earnestly and nonestly on turning atomic energy into peaceful channels. If there is any such intention, the President said, we would certainly welcome it in the situation the world is in today. On taxes, Eisenhower said that along with other reductions already put into effect this year, the trimming of excise taxes puts a huge $7,400,000,000 into the hands of the people and he thinks this certainly will be a stimulating factor for ausiness.

By LARRY ALLEX. HANOI, Indochina, March 31 (SI --The French laid down curtains of fire from big guns and every available warplane in northern Indochina today and hurled back wave on wave of screaming Vietminh assault troops. The rebels' second big try to overwhelm the dustbowl fortress of Dien Bien Phu seemed to be failing as night closed in. At dusk the French announced had killed 1,350.

It looked as if the Red Vietminh leader Ho Chi Minh was playing his last big card in an attempt to wipe out the French fortress and improve his bargaining position at the Geneva conference opening April 26.

March 31 The United States tonight rejected a Soviet proposal for a European "security system," describing it as a maneuver to undermine the security of the Western nations. The statement recalled that, at Berlin last month. Molotov "adopted two lines of "First, he insisted that NATO was aggressive and should be abandoned. "Secondly, he proposed, as a substitute, a 32-nation European security pact, from which the United States would be excluded other than as an 'observer 1 along with Red China." Maneuvers Failed.

But these maneuvers, the statement added, were unsuccessful and Molotov "now proposes that instead of doing away with NATO the Soviet Union stiould join it." Further, it said. Molotov nou would include the United States as a participant in its "all-European security treaty." The statement said "the basic objections" raised against the Soviet proposal at Berlin apply also to the new Soviet proposal. The statement recalled that, at Berlin, Dulles had criticized special security arrangements as adding nothing that is not already in the United Nations charter except to "provide the element of confidence which unfortunately has not been present on a universal basis." raced screaming of fire from the It was then the statement said the new Soviet proposal inspires no such confidence. The State Department spokesman said he assumed the British and French would receive copies of the statement. When asked by a reporter if it constituted a "formal American rejection," he replied: "This is it." The spokesman recalled that the British and French representatives at Berlin.

Anthony Eden and Georges Bidault, had rejected Molotov's European pact proposal "out of hand." Changes Stand. In Paris, however, a French Foreign Office source said the Soviet note requires careful study as "it represents a considerable modification of a the Russians put forth at Berlin. This source said the note declared the Soviet Union "no longer has any objection" to the United States joining its proposed European "security system." But a Foreign Office spokesman emphasized the Russian note raised a number of questions. Even before the State Department spoke out tonight, a strong note of distrust was voiced by Congress members and others studying the Soviet proposal. They viewed it as an attempt to disrupt western Europe's military buildup.

The Vietminh used machine-suns, rifles, pistols, blade knifes, grenades, and fire- hardened bamboo spears in close fighting. But they stopped. The rebels suffered their heaviest losses before two strongpoints of the fortress, where they hurled two divisions up to 20,000 men-in the attack.

Violent fighting still raged almost 24 hours after the attack was launched at dusk yesterday. A first attempt to crush the fortress under massive infantry as- sult failed a little over two weeks ago.

The French said they inflicted at least 12,000 casualties on the rebels before they broke off their attack. Since then the rebels have been bringing reinforcements and supplies into the jungle hills ringing the oval-shaped plains fortress, and digging fox holes and trenches within 200 yards of Dien Bien Phu's barbed wire barriers.

Major points of controversy in the bill are two new sections which would appear to give the states extensive powers to deal with labor disputes, both those involving emergencies and those dealing with unfair labor practices and representation elections. Language adopted by the committee only today, on a 7-6 party- line vote, spells out the right ol states to pass and enforce laws to handle emergencies which "il permitted to occur, or continue will constitute a clear and present danger to the health or safety of the people of the state." The Supreme Court has ruled state laws unconstitutional which go beyond provisions in the Taft-Hartlev law. States may not legislate only in the field of compulsory unionism. The new section would apply to all "emergencies" except those which the federal government i handling under the Taft-Hartley national emergency strike section, under which 80-day no-strike court orders may be obtained.
