The National Assembly-parlia- ment--will vote on a new presi- bent Saturday to replace An- tonin Novotny, the hard-liner who resigned under pressure last week. Svoboda's election was near cer- tain. Party chief Alexander Dubcek told the committee that Svoboda, a Communist, was "the most suit- able person at the present time who could help in the unification of our nation and consolidating the internal political situation." He received 105 of 107 Central Committee ballots. The presidency carries with it designation as chief of state. Largely ceremonial until now, the post could become more impor- tant with the reworking of gov- ernment promised by the reform leadership. Svoboda, a commander of Czech forces fighting alongside the Com- munist army in World War II, left government in 1951 and was since active chiefly as a military historian. Novotny, whom Dubcek ousted as party chief last January, lost the' last shred of his political power at the meeting. The official Czech' press agency CTK said he sur- rendered his posts on the party's Central Committee secretariat and presidium. Soviet Trade Tax Stopped J3Y .Congress SPro-Administration Vote Bans Factory Bond Tax Exenption WASHINGTON 'P--In two ad- ministration-supporting votes yes- terday the Senate approved a ban on tax-exempt bonds used to fi- nance private factories and block. ed a move to place a tax curb on trade with Communist na- tions. But it failed to reach a deci- sion on a proposal to impose a 10 per cent income tax surcharge linked with a $6 billion cut in fed- eral spending. Under debate is a House-passed measure to extend automobile and telephone excise taxes which are scheduled to drop sharply on April 1. Under previous legisla- tion, the-7 per cent levy on autos is to drop to 2 per cent and the 10 per cent impost on phone serv- ice is to go to 1 per cent. The House adjourned Thurs- day until noon Monday. However, since the Senate skirmishing centers on side issues and there is no substantial op- position to extending these levies, the Internal Revenue Service an- nounced it plans to continue col- lections at current rates in belief that the extension will be voted retroactively in the near future. Reversing an action taken ear- lier, the Senate voted 50 to 32 to bar after Jan. 1 the issuance of tax exempt municipal or state bonds for the purpose of financing industrial development by private corporations. The Treasury Department al- ready had issued an executive order halting issuance of such bonds- known as IDB's--effective March 15. But in a Tuesday test the Sen- ate voted 51 to 32 to continue the tax exempt status of such bonds indefinitely. The IDB's are used to raise funds for industrial plants and are retired through rentals paid by the benefiting company. Be- cause the bonds are issued in the name of a local or state govern- ment unit, interest on them is tax exempt and, in effect, enables the corporation to raise funds at a cost substantially lower tharl through private borrowing. On a 44-38 roll call, the Sen- ate rejected an amendment by Sen. Karl E. Mundt, (R-SD), which would have .imposed a 20 per cent added tax on all the in- come of any company which ships goods to a Communist nation that is supplying goods to North Viet- nam.
