Milk Truckers Debate Strike
NEW YORK WP)—Union leaders met today to decide whether there will be a milk truck drivers' strike that could affect deliveries to 17 million or more persons.
A strike of tank truck drivers seeking higher pay would involve the entire state of New York and adjacent areas of Connecticut and New Jersey, a union spokesman said.
About 20 leaders of the AFL Teamsters Union and local delegates of the union's milk industry locals attended the meeUng.
The session was called after negotiations with employers broke off Sunday night.
Samuel Gelman, chairman of the union negotiators, told newsmen just before the meeting that "we don't want to strike" but that.if a walkout is called It will be a thorough one.
He said Upstate New York. Including such distant cities as Buffalo, would be "hit just as hard'' as the New York metropolitan area in a strike.
Gelman held that markets such as Rochester, Syracuse, Utica and Albany would feel the pinch as much as the metropolitan area even though they are closer % to farm sources.
This would be so because practically all movement of milk requires handling by the union somewhere along the line, he said. Gelman said movement of milk by train or by small independent pickup operations would not amount to more than "a trickle."
The teamsters, he 8dded, would seek the cooperation of railroad unions to insure against movement of milk by rail In event of a strike. ' The union represents 1,000 milk
tank truck drivers. It is seeking raises of 43 to 53 cents an hour over present base wage scales which range from SI .57. to $1.77.
The employers have made several offers but the union has rejected all of them.
P0W Accused Of Aiding Reds
NEW YORK <&> — A witness testified today that Sgt. James C. Gallagher, 2-1. on trial on charges of aiding the enemy while a Korean war prisoner and of murdering three fellow prisoners, delivered three lectures in which he derided the American people.
Specialist 1. C Lyle G. Swan-ton testified at the court-martial that the lectures Gallagher applied the terms "Wall Streeters. warmongers and capitalists" to the American people. In one. Swanton testified. Gallagher alluded to "Wall Streeters and how they were wasting food and the people were .starving."
The lectures, Swanton said, were given at POW camp No. 3, Chang-song, North Korea, in the summer and fall of 1952.
"We. the other prisoners thought it was pretty rotten be-! cause he was a U.S. soldier," Swanton said.
Before Swanton began to testify Gallagher lost his bid to escape trial. The defendant is from Brooklyn.
Col. Laurence W. Lougee. law officer at the general court martial, rejected defense claims that the Army lost jurisdiction over offenses committed in the first term of enlistment when it gave gallagher an hondrable dls? charge dated Oct. 27, 1953. Gallagher re-enlisted the next day.
Gallagher is the first American soldier to be tried for a prison camp death by his own hands. The deaths in North Korean POW camp No. 5 were termed "unpremeditated murder."
He is charged with having forcibly ejected three sick fellow prisoners from their shelters and exposing them to "extremely cold temperature." All three were wea'k from dysentery, the charges said.

Today, Kefauver asked Dixon: "Do you, Mr. Dixon, stand on
the testimony you and Mr. James gave yesterday that Mr. Wenzell —a vice president and director of the First Boston Corporation—a man whose report was read by President Eisenhower and former President Hoover — was nothing but a 'messenger boy* or a 'courier?'"
"I should like to stand very firmly, sir." Dixon replied, "on all the testimony I have given this committee so far."
James said he did, too.

By Farm Burfiau On Pension Plan Legislation to encourage' volun
tary pension plans for farmers artd other self-employed persons Was recommended recently by the American Farm Bureau Federation. Hugh F. Hall. AFBF legislative assistant, told a House Ways and Means Couimittee hearing Farm Bureau favors the principles of H.R. 9 and 10—the Jenkins-Keogh bills. .
The bills would make available to farmers and other self-employed workers ta.\ treatment comparable to that pixnided in the pension plans now in effect for many businesses.
Both labor and management benefit from these plans.
Benefit Substantial "Since pension plans benefit
substantial numbers of employed postponment of income taxes on amounts paid into special plans approved by the Treasury Depart ment," Mr. Hall said, "it is proper that this advantage be extended to other citizens." .
"The large variation of farmers' income is evidence of the apparent benefit whieh would accrue to them if they had the privilege of making contributions into individual retirement plans."
Mr. Hall suggested one improvement in the bills to ease the record keeping of farmers.
Difficult for Farmers Because it is difficult for a typi
cal terrm family to allocate earnings between personal services and capital, the Farm Bureau spokesman suggested that any legislation should make "no distinction" between them. He qualified this to apply only to capital "used in conjunction with the taxpayers personal labor arid management."
"We appear before you, in support of the plan in general terms realizing that technical details remain to be worked out in order to adapt the idea to farmers," Mr. Hall said. . "Under these circumstances we cannot say to what extent farmers may avail themselves of such retirement plans. In supporting the ideat therefore, we appeal especially for the extension of the privilege afforded others."

JACKSONVILLE (JP) — Reorganization of the bankrupt Florida East Coast Railway, bounced around by federal courts and the Interstate Commerce Commission since 1931. took one of its strangest twists when Miami asked the federal court for permission *to sue the railroad in state court. Miami wanted to file a condemnation suit to open four grade crossings across the railroad tracks.
It was necessary for the city to get Federal permission because a judge now dead issued an order years ago saying the FEC could-not be sued during the reorganization proceedings.
