The bill now goes to President Truman who is expected to sign it promptly. * ADMINISTRATION leaders, re- covering from a jolting setback on a similar version'of the bill Tues- day, ran .up a 25 vote margin for the measure yesterdays The roll call vote was 185 in favor of the bill, 160 against. The Senate passed it by a voice vote Thursday. Thus, individual income tax boosts ranging between 11 and 12 per cent for most taxpayers, are to ; take effect Nov. 1. So will the ex- cise tax changes on a long list of items including liquor, gasoline and household appliances. This schedule presumes that Mr. Tru- man will sign the bill by Sunday. ... On its original test the bill was beaten by a combination of (1) legislators demanding that the administration slash spend- ing and (2) others who urged still *higher taxes and eom- plained that the bill bore too lightly on large incomes and too heavily on small. Yesterday Deniocratic leader McCormack of Massachusetts warned that defense spending js going to plunge the government billions of dollars in the red, and said that defeat of the tax bill would "feed the fires of inflation." This would hurt everybody, espe- cially the little fellow, he said. Backers of a rider to permit states to publish their relief rolls hailed douse passage of the tax bill, carrying their plan, as a major state's right victory. Tacked on the bill by Senator Jenner (R-Ind.), the rider pro- vides that no state may be denied federal welfare funds for making AlIlies Make Egypt Withdraws From Suez Area Renews Expulsion Threat on Paper With 'Get-Tough' Policy for Britain CAIRO, Egypt-(/P)-Egyptian tanks and artillery pulled back toward Cairo yesterday from the bristling British defense perimeter along the Suez Canal. But Egypt made a new threat on paper to kick out the British, and Moslem extremists'demanded "revenge" on British troops. - - * * * * THE CANAL AREA was sealed off and placed on a firm British war footing. The British Embassy disclosed Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Salah Ed Din delivered a note of "general protest" Legislator, asks Firing Of McGrath WASHINGTON-/P-A demand was made yesterday for the dis- missal of Attorney General Mc- Grath in the House by Rep. Bake- well (R-Mo.). Rep. Bakewell accused McGrath of trying to impede the St. Louis phase of the Internal Revenue Bureau investigation. He intro- duced a resolution asking the House to go on record in favor of having President Truman fire Mc- Grath. * s * BAKEWELL charged that the Attorney General, the nation's chief . law enforcement °officer, "sought to interfere with the ad- ministration of justice when he attempted to divert a grand jury in St. Louis from its investigation of charges against the former co- lector, James P. Finnegan." Meanwhile three New York agents were suspended yesterday in a widening probe of Internal Revenue scandals. The latest suspensions were handed out to Ralph P. Demayo, Jack. Neustadt and William H. Dettmer Jr., a trio of tax officials who appeared before a House Ways and Means Subcommittee Thurs- day for questioning about their outside income. A fourth agent in the New York bureau, Mordecai Miller, was sum- marily suspended, an hour after he refused to make a full disclo- sure of-his financial affairs before the subcommittee. FLASH FIZZLES: against continued presence of British soldiers on Egyptian soil. The French-language newspaper La Bourse Egyptienne reported the note begins an Egyptian policy to get tough with the British. It said Egypt is asking the Bri- tish to get out and says if they don't "Egypt will be obliged to take adequate measures to pre- vent British military domination of the Canal region." Gen. Sir Brian Robertson, Com- mander in Chief of British Middle East land forces, returned to the Suez by air yesterday from Lon- don, presumably with orders to hold the canal with the garrisons and reinforcements pouring in. * * * THE WITHDRAWN Egyptian armored forces had been posted on the Cairo-Suez highway Thurs- day at the height of tension over the first clash between Egyptian and British troops at El Ferdan bridge Wednesday. To escape a possible renewal of Egyptian mob violence, soldiers' families from Port Said and Suez, and terminals of the 104-mile canal, were taken inside the peri- meter. Congress Told AtomStrength WASHINGTON --(P)- Con- gress was informed yesterday that the United States is capable of striking a "terrible atomic coun- terblow" against an aggressor. In carefully guarded words, the Senate-House Atomic Energy Committee spoke of great progress in building up the nation's atomic strength. "It is unquestionably true that the atomic counter-blow which the United* States could launch at an aggressor would be swift and sure and terrible," the joint com- mittee said.- * * * New UN Grants Neutral Path To. Meeting Reds Lose Hill Near Kumsong By The Associated Press United Nations liaison officers yesterday offered the Communists another compromise in an effort to renewthe suspended Korean truce talks while on the battle front Allied forces threw Red de- fenders off a key ridge in Central Korea. The Allied negotiators granted the Communists a security corri- dcSr to the meeting site, as the Reds had previously demanded. * * * IN A MORNING session, the United Nations representatives suggested a 400-yard wide corri- dor between Communist-held Kae- song and .Munsan to the meeting place at Panmunjom. Both liaison teams were to meet later today to consider the issue-one of two minor points standing in the way of resump- tion of fulldress armistice nego- tiations in the bloody Korean war. In the Kunsong fighting, the Communists had taken the hill during the night in a counter- attack supported by a heavy mor- tar barrage. Allied infantrymen were within two miles of the former Red bas- tion some 30 miles north of Paral- lel 38. The Red hub is under heavy Allied artillery fire. CHINESE ATTACKED .desper- ately twice last night, a pooled dispatch from the Central front said. One gained ground but the Chinese were unable to hold it. Farther east the second bat- talion-size Communist counter- attack was repulsed. In the West, where Red resist- ance had collapsed temporarily northwest of Yonchon Thursday, Chinese infantrymen yesterday fought off an Allied infantry at- tack with rifle fire and hand gren- ades. A late dispatch from the west- ern front said the Allied attack for two hills was stalled northwest of Truce Concession Hawkeye Tilt Called Must For Squad Bradford Plays Last Game for 'M' By JIM PARKER Associate Sports Editor IOWA CITY - Michigan and Iowa renew an almost forgotten football rivalry at 1:30 (2:30 Ann Arbor time) this afternoon before a capacity homecoming crowd of 53,000 at the Iowa Stadium, The Wolverines, who lave met their Big Ten foe only thirteen times previously, will be seeking to even up their one-won-two-lost record with their second straight Conference win at the expense of the Hawkeyes, victors in two. of three outings this year. * * * THIS ONE is a must for the Maize and Blue insofar as its de- fense of the Western Conference title is concerned.

Stalin's message was in reply to a telegram from Kim Il Sung, North Korean Premier, which de- clared that "the help and support given us by the, Soviet Union are a firm guarantee of victory in a just war." (The exchange between Stalin and Kim was similar to messages that have passed between them on previous occcasions. It marked the third anniversary of the establish- ment of diplomatic and economic relations between North Korea and the U.S.S.R. Publication of the exchange fol- lowed the disclosure in Washing- ton Wednesday that Moscow had rebuffed a U.S. proposal, made by American Ambassador Alan G. Kirk Oct. 5 that Russia act to bring about an armistice in Korea.) Kim, in his message to Stalin, thanked the Soviet Prime Minister for "the unselfish help of the So- viet Union" which he said had as- sisted the Korean People's Repub- lic in developing and stretgthen- ing as a democratic republic and a peace-loving country fighting for freedom and independence and peace in the whole world.

Later they amended this to say "by Monday the entire port will be tied up." *4 * * THEY SAID it was about half shut down now. The dockers struck to jettison a new contract. They want to negotiate another one with bet- ,ter wage, vacation and working clauses. The new contract took effect Oct. 1.

The next move in the explosive situation appeared to be a new at- tempt by the United States to use its good offices toward a settle- ment by direct negotiations. * * * THE COUNCIL climaxed a ser- ies of tense sessions by voting 8 to 1 for a French resolution with- holding any action in the Council until the International Court of Justice at the Hague has ruled whether the Court itself had juris- diction to intervene in the -argu- ment. The Soviet Union voted against the resolution. This did not count as a veto because the proposal wash purely a procedural move. Britain and Yugoslavia abstained. The International Court at pres- ent is considering the situation created by Iran's seizure of Iran- ian properties of the British- owned $1,400,000,000 Anglo-Iran- ian oil company under a nation- alization law enacted last spring. The Court's problem is whether it has authority to intervene- that is whether the oil squabble is a domestic issue, as the Iranians say, or an international issue, as the British said in filing suit. The decision will not come for weeks or months. C on-res Vte the break in the complicated detonating mechanism had been repaired.
