Justice Dept. Very
Lax In Preparing
Petrillo Case
(Continued from Page One)
cerned about how the case was
prepared by the justice depart
ment. I must say it was exceed
ingly lax.
Petrillo who sat silently as
Hartley took him to task, was ac
cused under the Lea Act of corec
ing a Chicago radio station to hire
more workers than needed.
He was called before the com
mittee to answer charges that he
is attempting to throttle the
American industry through a mo
nopoly on music.
Hartley told him the British
flew in 12 tons of phonograph rec
ords last week, after Petrillo
banned union musicians from
making records in this country.
Moreover, Hartley said, 250 tons
of other records are now enroute
to the United States by boat.
“What effect do you think that
will have on American musicians,
Mr. Petrillo.“ Hartley asked.
Petrillo launched into a long
statement contending that the
record-making industry is reaping
huge profits whereas the average
pay of American musicians in
making recordings is $400 a year.
“Our future is very dark,” Pe
trillo said.

House Will Pass
Huge Tax Slashing
Bill; Veto Certain
(By Francis M. LeMay)
WASHINGTON (^—Approved
“as is” by the House Republican
leadership, the $5,600,000,000 tax
slashing bill moved today toward
swift House passage and a virtual
ly certain veto.
Democrats mobilizing to battle
the measure claimed enough votes
to block its final enactment, how
ever, unless the Senate trims the
size of the tax cut when the legis
lation reaches that body.
Speaker Martin (R.-Mass.) set
the House vote for next week,
probably Friday.
The House Republican steering
committee, in approving the mea
sure late yesterday, refused flatly
to make any concessions that
might attract Democratic support.
A two-thirds majority is needed
in both Houses to overturn a Pres
idential objection.
Democratic leader Rayburn of
Texas told reporters “the bill as
it is will never become law, and I
think the Republicans know it.”
But Rep. Knutson <R.-Minn.>,
author of the measure, shot back
that Rayburn is “indulging in
wishful thinking” and added: “the
bill will become law.”

rified tree s'umps, some of them
12 to 15 feet in diameter and 12
feet high have been found on sev

Buffalo.
Prof. James D. Bump, director
of the South Dakota school of

experts who have studied the
area, indentified the trees as hav

similar to the Redwood in north

The stony stumps are believed
to be at least 120,000,000 years
old. One has been a landmark for
years. Early day cowboys used i!

petrified free trunk 12 feet high
and five feet in diameter.
The tree was located near an
old round-up corral. Standing on
a high knoll, it has been gradual

Millions of tons of petrified
wood, in addition to the standing
stumps, are to be found in the for
