POINT FOUR APPROPRIATION S See Page 2 Latest Deadline in the State :4kti~p PARTLY CLOUDY VOL. LX, No. 20-S ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, JULY 22, 1950 FOUR PAGES Multi-Billon Tax Boost " Suggested Levy Would Be Biggest in History WASHINGTON - (A) - An } immediate multi-billion dollar "across the board" boost in federal taxes, to crack down on "profi- teers" and to put the nation on a pay-as-you-go basis in the Ko- rean crisis, was proposed yester- day by the Senate-House Econo- mic Committee. If the Committee's recommen- dation were followed it could mean that Americans - individuals and corporations - would be called upon to bear the biggest tax load in history - greater than the re- cord tax tae of $44,800,000,000 in the last war year, 1945. IT MIGHT MEAN also a near confiscatory levy on any business profits that could be classed a "profiteering." However, the Committee's po- wers are advisory only. Taxes are handled by the House Ways and Means and Senate Finance Committees. Most legislators agree there will have to be a substantial tax increase, but there is much sentiment for ap- plying it tornext year's income not this year's. Senator O'Mahoney (D e m- Wyo), Chairman of the Economic Committee, told reporters the com- . mittee agreed unanimously on the need for a quick increase. The committee suggested no specific figures, but speculation around Capitol Hill had it that President Truman may ask for a tax in- crease between $5,000,000,000 and $10,000,000,000 a year. * * *. CHAIRMAN O'Mahoney said the Committee agreed that new taxes should be put on individual income as well as upon crpora- tions. On his own he suggested that individual taxes be boosted 10 per cent "at least." . nHe said the new taxes should apply to this year's Income. He stressed particularly the excess profits tax designed to drain off above-normal corpoate in- come. "Put this tax on this year's in- come," O'Mahoney said, "so that every profiteer would know he was just collecting money for Uncle Sam." * * * THE CONGRESSIONAL talk of a tax crack-down on profiteering heightened as reports of price hikes come into Washington from 4 about the country. The Economic Committee-with five Republicans and four Demo- crats present-took its stand on taxes at a closed-door session, O'Mahoney said it also agreed that consumer credit including install- ment buying, should be tightened by government action. The group, however, took no stand on Pres. Truman's other proposals for government alloca- tion and priorities authority. * * * Truman Won't Get Requested Powers Yet By The Associated Press WASHINGTON -'Things prob- ably haven't gone far enough yet for Congress to give President Tru- man all the economic controls he asked. Committees are likely particu- larly to tie down any powers the lawmakers believe would put the government into competition with private industry. THE PRESIDENT is not likely to ask congress for a labor draft - that is, not unless there is an emergency a lot worse than that of Wofld War II. During that war Pres. Tru- man expressed himself strongly against drafting people to fill certain jobs. Weather the next several weeks may well determine whether the nation will see an early return to food price ceilings and possibly rationing.

Douglas MacArthur's forces in Korea, the United Nations disclosed last night. The size of the elements was not disclosed. THIS WAS THE first definite offer of soldiers from any of the 52 UN members who were asked last week to do all they could to help the UN war effort. The Bolivian offer was sent to Secretary-General Trygve Lie by the permanent Bolivian delegate, Eduardo Anze Matienzo. It was made public by the UN several hours after Lie had told re- GIs Win Yongok echon Communications utposts * * * * * * * * * E. Germany Issues Call For Revolt BERLIN-(A')-While the Krem- lin's Cominform emissary applaud- ed, East Germany's Communist Chancellor urged the people of allied-occupie West Germany yes- terday to ope resistance against the policies of the Western occu- pying powers. The call to revolt was made by Otto Grotewohl in, one of the most inflammatory anti-American speeches ever delivered in this four-power city. GROTWOHL addressed the sec- ond day's session of the third an- nual convention of the Socialist Unity (Communist) party in the Russian sector. He charges that the United States, Britain and France had forfeited their right to remain in Germany because they "violated the Potsdam Agreement and ended four-power government." "Nobody in West Germany is legally obligated any longer to obey the orders of the occupying pow ers," Grotewohl said. "Therein lies the justice of the national resist- ance (a Communist front move- ment) because it is a resistance against an illegal situation in which the Western allies are exer- cising might instead of right." Cadillac Will Sign Contract To Make Tanks DETROIT--P)-A contract for mass production of tanks is being worked out by the Army and the Cadillac Division of General Mo- tors. Types and numbers were not disclosed, but usually reliable sources said they likely would be the new 28-ton light tank which the Army has described as "sen- sational." * * * PLACEMENT of a $25,000,000 order for 5,241 Army tactical ve- hicles was announced yesterday by the Dodge Division of the Chrys- ler Corp., shortly before Col. David J. Crawford, Detroit Arsenal Com- mander, confirmed the Cadillac tank negotiations. Both companies stressed that their current high production of automobiles would not be dis- rupted. While not naming the site for actual manufacture of tanks, Wil- son announced transmissions would be made by GM's Allison Division at Indianapolis. O porters that official offers of planes, ships and hospital sup- plies has been received in res- ponse to his appeal. At that time he said he knew of no offers of combat troops, but added that several countries are in contact with Washington, either the Pentagon or the State Department. * * * LIE TOLD his weekly news con- ference he does not think mes- sages from only nine UN members is a poor response. He said it is too early for definite answers from governments and that maybe two weeks from now he might expect final responses. Lie had no comment on pub- lished reports t h a t United States sources said several UN members have confideritialy of- fered to send ground troops to aid the Republic of Korea. A U.S. spokesman said yester- day that offers have been xeceiv- ed of forces to aid the UN. Asked directly if this meant combat sol- diers, the spokesman said the im- plication was there, but refused to go further. -* * PERU, Sweden, Denmark, Nor- way, Argentina, France, Brazil, Greece and the Phillipines have responded to Lie's appeal. Both UN and U.S. sources have said that in any event offers of soldiers must be top secret and must be handled in that fashion until all arrangements have been made. Lie made it clear the U.N. is not recruiting a secret interna- tional force for service in Korea. The UN has received word that individuals in some countries want to volunteer and it has replied to such individuals that they must deal with their own governments. Asked what he could do to lo- calize the Korean war, Lie said members of the UN should res- pect the decision of the Security Council. He said that is the only way to get peace. Communism tGoing-- Winnie L LONDON - (P) - Winston Churchill said last night Commu- nism is losing followers, "in all the countries where free speech is allowed and parliamentary in- stitutions thrive." Ultimately( he said, there must be a United Europe joining to- gether "all European peoples in- cluding those now behind the Iron Curtain." * * * CHURCHILL spoke at a mass meeting which touched off a na- tionwide to interest Britain in the United Europe movement, of which he is a prime mover. . "Unless a strong united and valient Europe can be created," he said, "there is little hope of peace, freedom or civilization for the rest of mankind." Mobilization Plans Move AheadFast WASHINGTON-(AP)--In swift strides, the nation drove toward large-scale mobilization yesterday. The Army called up some na- tional guard troops and reserves on 30-day notice. THE AIR FORCE said it may seek to draft veterans of World War II, but still hopes to get along with volunteers. Maj. Gen.-Lewis . Hershey, U.S. Draft Chief, spoke of a 7,000,000-man war machine. It was not clear, however, whether the figure represented the total draft goal or manpower needs for combined military-industrial replacement. On Capitol Hill, the Senate and House Armed Services Commit- tees voted overwhelmingly to wipe out the present 2,005,882-man li- mit on the size of the armed for- ces and to "freeze" all enlistments for one year. THE SENATE promptly approv- ed the "freeze" action. The mea- sure passed by unanimous con- sent, without debate. The Senate also passed and esnt to the House a bill giving President Truman control over the operation of foreign ships in American waters. KM1PC Man Comments On RadioScripts LOS ANGELES-(/P)-A former news writer at KMPC, who earlier testified that station owner G. A. Richards told him to depict Ho- ward Hughes unfavorably in the news, identified KMPC news scripts yesterday which he said were either neutral or favorable to the plane maker. Maurie Starrels described five Hughes stories shown him under cross-examination as neutral and a sixth as favorable. * * * HE IS testifying at a communi-! cations commission hearing on news slanting charges against Richards and on applications of Richards' station KMPC here, WJR Detroit and WGAR, Cleve- land, for license renewals. Frederick W. Ford, FCC coun- sel, pointed out there were some 139 news items on Hughes dur- ing the period in question, in 1947. Starrels said it was customary to credit newspaper columnists when they were quoted in news- casts. He was shown two news scripts, each containing an item attributed to a columnist. Several witnesses have testified they were told to use paragraphs from col- umnists and did so with attribu- tion. Starrels testified the station treated the Office of Price Ad- ministration fairly in the news. Other witnesses said they were told to bias news to indicate the OPA was not needed. N.

Sen. Tydings Trained Seal JennerSays WASHINGTON - (te) - Repub- ican Senator Jenner accused Dem- ocratic Senator Tydings yesterday of a "blasphemous perversion of the truth" in reporting the results of an investigation into charges that Communists are active in the United States government. He told the Senate that Tydings had conducted "the most scanda- lous and brazen whitewash of treasonable conspiracy in our his- tory." He referred to his antagon- ist as an Administration "trained seal" and a would-be disc jockey. * * * AND, FUMING about the attack Tydings made on him in a Senate speech, Jenner said: "Senator Tyd- ings' attack on me is only an in- dication of how low he is willing to stoop to pick up the Adminis- tration's ball." It all stemmed from a foreign relations subcommittees investi- gation of charges, made by Sen. McCarthy (Rep.-Wis.) last winter, that Communists were infiltrating the government, particularly the State Department. * * * TYDINGS HEADED the five- man inquiry goup. After months of hearings, he and the other two Democrats on the subcommittee issued a report calling McCarthy's charges a "fraud and a hoax." The majority report was pre- sented yesterday and accepted by a straight party-line vote, 45 to 37, with the Republicans on the short end. Tydings, a Maryland- er, then hammered his views home with an indictment of McCarthy and his supporters, among whom he placed Sen. Jenner, an Indiana Republican. National Roundup By The Associated Press WASHINGTON - The United States and Britain signed a 25- year agreement here yesterday for joint use of secret installations on the Bahama Islands for tracking and guiding American guided mis- siles. DETROIT - An unauthorized strike by its 12,000 CIO United Auto Workers closed the Kaiser- Frazer automobile plant here yes- terday.

CAN ANYTHING HELP?: Daily May Creep Into Students' Term Papers The Daily may sneak its way into several term papers before the summer's over. Students taking the contemporary arts and society course for credit-which consists of writing a critical evaluation of the course -have become as Daily-conscious as The Daily has been Rannells- Ciardi-Finney conscious for the past three weeks. t * * * * MANY OF THE STUDENTS have pasted Daily lecture and panel coverage in their notebooks beside their own "coverage" of the talks. Some have even taken out three-week subscriptions to The Daily just for this purpose. The most common attitude an ng those taking the course is that The Daily articles are good as supplementary material but are not an adequate substi- tute for attending the lectures in person. "After all, nothing 'canned' takes the place of the original," one student remarked. * * * ANOTHER participator in the course found The Daily articles "interesting" because "they present a different point of view from the lecturer's." His friend called the articles "discouraging" for the same reason. "The Daily tries too hard to play up some spectacular statement made at the end of the lecture and doesn't preserve the contin- uity of the discussion," he moaned. Prof. Richard C. Boys, English departmental chairman of the course, commended The Daily for putting in "a good deal of time and effort in coverage." *' * * "MANY OF THE lectures were :oncentrated and technical and The Daily did a useful thing in boiling them down," he added. "However, it is risky for any- one to use the articles for the basis of his paper," Prof. Boys cautioned. "Some of us (the department chairmen) have also been keeping The Daily articles, he added. Prof. Boys' warning will have little effect on one desperate stu- dent: "Nothing will be able to help me write'that paper," she groaned. SL Warns 'U' Students In Europe Studient Legislature has received word that certain University stu- dents going to conferences in Eu- rope this summer intend to de- clare themselves official repre- sentatives of the University stu- dent body without having been so appointed, according to Keith Beers, summer president of SL. Students who attempt such mis- representation of thei position will be subject to disciplinary ac- tion by the Judiciary Council upon their return to the University in the fall, Beers warned. * * * THIS IS in accordance with a measure adopted by SL on May 24, 1950, stating that "no students are to be considered as represen- tating the University student body or legislature, unless so appointed (by SL or the SL Cabinet). "Those not appointed who profess to represent the Uni- versity as stated above will be subject to disciplinary action by the Judiciary Council." He said the students who intend to stand as representatives of the University are among those plan- ning to attend the Second World Student Congress in Prague, Aug. 14 to 28. TOKYO--(I)-Fresh U.S. Troops in two separate assaults have seiz- ed two Communist-held communi- cation centers on the Korean front, official announcements said yes- terday. U.S. troops under cover of a fierce naval bombardment yester- day captured the ruined east oast city of Yongdok d; * *. * YONGDOK is 25 miles north of where the U.S. First Cavalry Di- vision landed earlier this week in the first amphibious operation of the war. Meanwhile, General MacAr- thur said yesterday that Ameri- can forces had made further withdrawals generally southeast of fallen Taejon. His communique said that South Korean troops on the American east flank also dropped back under attack from the Second North Korean Division. * * * MacARTHUR reported Ameri- can and South Korean troops on the western front had completed a "planned withdrawal to betterxi lines of natural defense." bt A National Broadcasting Company correspondent report- ed the town of Chonu has fal- len to North Korean Communistn forces. The NBC Correspondent, George Thomas Folster, gave no details. He described Chonju as being on the west flank of the American defense line and 35 miles south of Taejon, which earlier fell to the Communists. * * * U.S. TROOPS of the 25th In- fantry Division, undergoing a bap- tism of fire, seized the rail and highway city of Yechon on the same day, a field dispatch said. Yechon is 60 air miles northeast of the fallen-bastion of Taejon. This first aggressive victory for the U.S. Eighth Army in the four-weeks-old Korean fighting was won to hold the allied line 60 miles northeast of the dead and abandoned city of Taejon. (The Negro- troops, on a front previously held only by South Korean forces, are apparently of the 25th Division. The 25th's ar- rival in Korea was disclosed in midweek along with the amphib- ious landing of the dismounted U.S. First Cavalry Division at Poh- ang, 55 miles north of the main U.S. port at Pusan). The batteredn24th division, which had been absorbing the overpowering shock of North Kor- ean tanks and foot soldiers In great numbers since July 5, dug into hill positions southeast of Taejon. Fate of Gen. Dean Unknown AN AMERICAN COMMAND P O S T IN KOREA-(IP)-Ma. Gen. William F. Dean, missing Commander of the U.S. 24th I- vision, gave his soldiers inspiring frontline leadership in the final hours of fighting in Taejon. T h e 50-year-old red-haired fighting general is still missing, hours after his men, at his orders, had pulled out of the flaming, battered city Thursday night. * * * (IN TOKYO a public informa- tion officer at Genera MacArthur's headquarters said "we have no confirmation one way or another regarding General Dean."
