Churchmen demand apology from Walter over alleged communism link
In New York six leading Protestant churchmen demand Rep. Francis E Walter apologize for an alleged untrue statement charging Communist infiltration of churches. Walter invites them to testify before the House committee on un-American activities while church leaders seek repudiation of a withdrawn Air Force manual alleging pro-Communist ties. Telegrams to Walter and Secretary Sharp express willingness to cooperate with any agency pursuing truth about the accusations. The United Presbyterian, Methodist, Episcopal, Congregational Christian and Reformed churches, representing about 18 million members, back the demand.

Chrysler Seeks Tax Reforms to Support Michigan Operations
Chrysler Corp President L L Colbert says the company has no plans to leave Michigan but needs relief from tax inequities. He urged the state to reform personal property assessments, real and personal tax equality, unemployment tax limits, and corporate franchise rates while resisting a proposed corporate income tax. Gov Williams and Detroit Mayor Miliani respond with study committees as Detroit and Lansing discuss tax complaints following Newberg's criticisms. Colbert notes Chrysler would face higher taxes in other states without changes and declines to propose revenue solutions.

Chrysler saved on gimmick tax break in Michigan law
Michigan revenue chief says Chrysler led a 1955 law change that shifted tax dates to allow two years of state tax deductions on federal returns for 1958. Sen Williams warns the gimmick could cost the federal treasury over 600 million dollars if adopted by all states. The measure, signed May 5, primarily benefited Chrysler and was pitched by three Republican lawmakers.
