April Was Turning
Of Recession For
Some Industries
HOT SPRINGS, Va., OP)—Some
business leaders have told Sec
retary of Commerce Weeks of
faint signs that April may have
brought a turning point in the
recession for several key indus
tries.
But optimism was far from
unanimous among the 100 top
rung corporation executives meet
ing here as the Commerce Sec
retary’s Business Advisory Coun
cil.
And the business leaders did
not agree on whether the gov
ernment should stand pat on
taxes or ask Congress to cut in
come tax rates as a* booster for
business.
A special seven-member anti
recession committee of the BAC,
named in April at Week’s request
request to recommend a prescrip
tion for recovery, came up Friday
with a report proposing:
1. That President Eisenhower
call on industry and labor for a
voluntary, one year moratorium
on both wage boosts and price
increases.
2. That no tax reduction be
asked now, tout that “if the de
cline in general consumption con
tinues,” a flat percentage cut be
made in all personal income- tax
rates.
The moratorium idea provoked
no discussion. But the tax rec
ommendation touched off debate
that revealed a split. Some
members called for a quick 10
per cent, seven billiofn dollar
tax cut. Others protested that
tax reduction was unnecessary;
that it would be inflationary and
damaging to the federal fiscal
structure.
Weeks told newsmen he would
ask the committee—headed by
T. V. Houser,, Board Chairman of
Sears, Roebuck and Co.—to keep
working and report back in June
because, Weeks said, “by June
30 there will have to be some
kind of tax bill.”
On that date, unless there is
extension legislation, the corpor
ation tax rate will drop to 47
per cent from 52 per cent, and
some excise (sales) rates will be
reduced automatically.

Gives Away $14,300 Worth of Cars
HOLLYWOOD, UPl — The son
of Generalissimo Trujillo, Domin
ican strong man, has bestowed
fancy foreign sports cars on
actress Kim Novak and Zsa Zsa
Gabor, says a Hollywood import
ed car dealer.
The cars reportedly cost Lt.
Gen, Rafael Trujillo Jr. $14,300.
Trujillo, 29, is currently hospit
alized in nearby Santa Monica
after an operation to cure his
sinus trouble. But before he en
tered the hospital he and the
blonde Miss Novak were seen to
gether frequently in Hollywood
night spots.
There was no comment about
the car purchases coming from
the general, who has been in Los
Angeles for the past six weeks,
although his official status in
this country is as a student at the
U. S. Army Command and Staff
College at Ft. Leavenworth, Kan.

May 19th Strike
Threatens CPR’s
Coast Steamships
VANCOUVER, B. C., UP) — The
province says the Seafarers In
ternational Union is planning to
strike the CPR’s coast steamships
just before the holiday weekend
ending May 19.
The newspaper saVs union
members voted in favor of strike
action last Monday and were told
to be ready to walk off the job
“within two weeks.”
A special meeting of the Van
couver Port Council Unions, has
been called for Tuesday at which
the strike program will be dis
cussed. Other unions which
would be affected by the strike
have not been informed of the
walkout date.
The province says an official
announcement of the strike will
be made Wednesday, in the form
of the 48-hour strike notice re
quired under federal law.
This would enable the union
to bring the 10 coast ships to
standstill Friday night.

In New York, Miss Gabo
said she had known Truin''1
and members of his f^mil’7
three years, that they were “v^r
very good friends” of hers a1’
that Trujillo gave her a car as a
Christmas gift last year.
Asked if there were a romance
between her and Trujillo, Miss
Gabor said only that “he’s a won
derful friend and I’m very, very
fond of him.”
Seemingly annoyed by pub
lished references to the automo
bile gifts, Miss Gabor said:
“Why don’t they mention he
gave $25,000 to the Damon Run
yon Cancer Fund just two weeks
ago.”
Informed that Trujillo had
bought a $12,000 car for himself
at the same time he bought the
other two, and that her car was
reported to be registered with
the State Department of Motor
Vehicles in her name, Miss Novak
said:
“It must be some kind of secret
gift. Honestly, I know nothing
about it being mine. Anyway,
a gift like that to Rafael is like
a trinket to other men, like a
bracelet. I mean just like a
novelty bracelet.”
Trujillo and his father recent
ly came in for criticism in Con
gress over the young man’s mili
tary education in the United
States. It was charged that the
Dominican Republic dictator is
spending one million dollars to
support Rafael in this country.
The Dominican Republic was re
cently given $1,300,000 by the
United States in foreign aid.
