Taft Is Named Floor Leader
Byrnes States

Far Red Policy
| WASHINGTON IIP/ For

I F. Byrnes is prepared to tell
I House investigators he was

j the 1946 policy under which
; the State Department re
j fused to pass on Americans

it was learned today.
Informed sources said Rvrnes.
now governor of South Carolina, is
“ready and willing” to testify be
fore a House Judiciary subcommittee
which is trying to fix blame for let
ting American Communists infil
trate the U. N. Secretariat.
The subcommittee has already an
nounced it wants to question Byrnes,
but set no date for his appear
ance.
His name was injected into the
inquiry by Secretary of State Dean
Acheson. who testified before the
subcommittee Wednesday. Acheson
said he assumes that Byrnes and Al
ger Hiss, former State Department
official now in prison for lying about
his Communist ties, took part in
the 1945 decision to follow a “hands
off” policy on Americans hired by
the U. N.
ABANDON POLICY
The policy was abandoned in 1949
when the State Department began
sending in “confidential” reports
on American employes suspected of
being Communists.
In a statement issued from the
executive mansion in Columbia, S.
C., Thursday night, Byrnes readily I
acknowledged he fathered the 1946 |
policy, but denied Hiss was invol
ved in any way.
' “In 1946 while I was secretary of

Congress Opens
For 83 rd Session
Hemes Leaders
WASHINGTON Iff) The
83rd Congress came to l ; /e
today with party caucuses in
both House and Senate to e
lect leaders and plan legis
lative strategy for the 1953
session which opens at noon
Saturday.
The leadership elections were
mere formalities. It was a foregone
conclusion that the top jobs in the
t'rst- Rehubiicar-controlled Congress
since 1948 would go to Sen. Robert
V Taft, as Senate GOP leader, and
Rep. Joseph W. Martin Jtr.. as
House speaker.
Chief inte est centered on pre
liminary maneuverings for the Sen
ate’s perennial fight over the right
: to filibuster.
A bi-partisan group of senators
who want a stronger rule against
talkathons called a meeting for 3
p. m. e.s.t. to draft the proposal
they plan to place before the Sen
ate soon after the first gavel bangs.
LITTLE CHANCE
! An anti-filibuster move was giv
en only an outside chance of suc
cess. Republican leaders were ex
pected to throw their support to
southern Democrats, who are bit
terly opposed to any curbs on the
marathon debates which they tra
ditinonally stage to block civil rights
leg.sstion.
The filibuster issue was high on
the agenda for both the Republi
can and Democratic Senate cau
cuses.
In the two months since the 1952
election, party leadership questions
«v>fe settled by negotiation until
there was. no significant contest in
sigfit in either pqrty in either
chamber.
TAFT FLOOR LEADER
Senate Republicans had agreed
informally in advance to elect Taft
as party floor leader and to nom
inate Sen, Styles Bridges of New
Hampshire as president pro tem
pore.
Sen. Lynilon B. Johnson of Texas
was in line for the Democratic floor
leadership. The Democrats also ex
pected to nominate Sen. Walter F.
George of Georgia tor president pre
tempore, although the election o.
the GOP nominee is assured.
A group of “liberal" Senate Dem
ocrats had been talking about con
testing the election at Johnson, al
though "they had no hope of de
feating him. On the tv* of toe cau

Postal Receipts
Up 12 Per Cent
Postal receipts in Dunn showed
an increase of 12 per cent during
1952, according to a report made
today by Postmaster Ralph Wade.
Receipts for the calendar year of
1952 totaled $77,112.29, or an in
ciease of $8,028.83 over 1951 when
the receipts were $69,083.46.
This represents an increase per
centage wise of approximately 12
per cent. Postmaster Wade pointed
out, however, that part of the in
crease for 1952 can be attributed
to increased rates, in particular the
discontinuance of the penny post
card.
Receipts at the Dunn Post Office
for the quarter ending December 31.
1952 totaled $23,388.34, as against
$21,857.31 for the same period of
’ 1951.
The Dunn office has shown in
creases for every year since 1945,
which reflects the continued growth
cf the town and area.
