House Committee
¢ Called To Vote On
$500,000,000 Issue
WASHINGTON, June 19— (AP)
«—The house Ways and Means
Committee was called to vote on a
tax boost of about $500,000,000 a
year for big eorporations. The de
cision may determine whether a
a $1,100,000,000 slash in war-im
posed excise taxes will bump into
a Presidential veto.
. If the tax bill is passed, and a
veto avoided, excise imposts will
be cut on furs, jewelry, luggage,
movies and scores of other items.
After a secret huddle of Demo
cratic tax law writers last week
administration leaders appeared
confident the committee will ap
prove the corporate tax increase.
However, the balance is delicate.
The 10 committee Republicans are
expected to oppose any tax hikes
Some administrationists feared the
15 Democrats may fall out over
some minor issues, such as the
taxation of cigarettes. If 10 Re
publicans and three Democrats op
pose it, the corporate boost propo
sal would fail.
This is the situation:
1. President Truman has pro
mised to veto any excise tax slash
that fails to make up the revenue
Joss by higher taxes in other di
rections. = - g ot
2. Thus far the committee, by
loophole plugging and various oth
er tax law changes, has been able
to find only about $500,000,000 to
balance off the billion-dollar-plus
excise cuts it has approved.
3. It has rejected two Presiden
tial proposals for increasing re
venue: (A) almost $200,000,000
more taxes on oil and gas produc
ers, and (B) $400,000,000 more
from levies on inheritances and big
gifts. This leaves a corporate tax
boost as the onlgo major area to
get the $500,000,000 more needed
to offset the excise cut. (nobody is
considering any increase in per
sonal income txes).
Mr. Truman has suggested that
the corporate tax rate jumped
from the present 38 per cent to 42
percent, with an extra provision
that would let the boost apply only
to the 10 per cent of corporations
with annual mnet earnings over
$120,000. Some smaller corpora
tions actually would get tax re
ductions under his proposal.

Gen. MacArthur Reviews
U .S. Defenses For Asia
Secretary Johnson, Bradley Told
Situation Serious, Not Hopeless
TOKYO, June 19.— (AP) —General Ma@Arthur today
outlined America’s defense position in Red-menaced Asia
for Defense Secretary Johnson and General Bradley. He
reportedly called it serious but not hopeless.
The commander of United States forces in the Far East,
it was understood, also urged prompt American materiel
assistance to Formosa, last-stand bastion of the Chinese
Nationalists, and for Southeast Asia,
Military aspects of a Japanese
peace treaty aiso were believed
under discussion in the momentous
three-hour conference with the
Secretary and the Chairman of the
U. S. Joint Chiefs of Staff. This
would involve the vital matter of
American bases in Japan.
The talks here are expected to
lay the foundation for decisions in
Washington on Far Eastern policy.
One informed Japanese source
said the Johnson-Bradley visit is
being watched with ‘“the greatest
anticipation ever placed on any
mission from the United States.”
Efforts are being increased to
reach agreement amrong Japanese
political leaders on the gquestion of
future American bases. :
Prime Minister Shingeru Yoshi
da hopes to get all parties—Com-~
munists excepted — to support a
peace treaty with the Western
powers and continued American
use of bases here.
Both MacArthur’s headquarters
and Johnson himself have made it
plain the Defense Secretary is
only secondarily interested in the
political aspects of & treaty. ’
Secrecy shrouded the details of
Johnson - Bradley - MacArthur
conference and af;o a later ses
sion the visiting defense chiefs
hag with Major General E. N, Al
mond, MacArthur’s chief of staff.
No announcement concerning
these talks is expected.
It was taken for granted, how
ever, that MacArthur elaborated
on these points reportedly made
by his top officers to Johnson and
Bradley in a “brief_ir;g” yesterday:
That Formosa’s fall to the Chi
nese Communists would be a seri
ous threat to the U. S. Pacific’s de
fense line which runs fromr the
Aleutians through Japan and Oki
nawa to the Philippines,
That Formosa could be out
flanked if th{ Reds were to sweep
over all Southeast Asia.
Faulty Wiring
Cause Of Fire
A fire caused by faulty electric
wiring in the loft of a house at
145 Sglvia Circle caused nearly
S2OO damage last night, firemen
reported.
Assistant Fire Chief O. H. Peeler
said the fire began in the loft and
was largely confined to that area.
He said damage to the Carter’s
residence, although not extensive,
;vas probably between SIOO and

years.
Vogeler's pretty Belgian-born
wife Lucille, was overcome with
joy by the reports that her hus
band might be released.
“This is what I have been wait
ing for and praying for every day
for the last seven months,” she
said.
Mrs, Vogeler conferred with U.
8. Secretary of State Dean'
Acheson in London on May 12
when he was there for a big three
session. She said Acheson had giv

ATHENS, CA., MONDAY, JUNE 19, 1950.
German Voters Whip
Reds In Ruhr Voting
Miners, Steel Workers Vofe .
For “Socialized Consfifufion”
DUSSELDORF, Germany, June 19.— (AP) —The miners
and steel workers of the Ruhr Valley rejected Russia’s pol
icies in Germany and gave Communism a crushing defeat
at the polls yesterday, @
But %vhilg' they rejected Communism, the same workers
voted for a’ state constitution calling for socialization of
the Ruhr’s basic industries.
The Ruhr workers elected a
legislature for their home state
of North-Westphalia, in the Bri
tish occupation zone. It is the most
populous state of West Germany,
with 9,000,006 registered voters.
The smoky Ruhr powerhouse
once was West Germany’s Com
munist stronghold. Three years
ago, the Communists got 14 per
cent of the vote. They were the
third largest party in-the state.
Yesterday, they got 5.5 per cent,
and went into fifth place. Max
Reimann, their leader, trailed
badly in Dortmund.
Thousands of workers who had
voted Communist before turned
their backs on Russia and blasted
Communist hopes of winning the
Ruhr away from the West.
They apparently spoke for all of
West Germany’s 46,000,000 people
who condemn Russian policies in
East Germany.
At he same time, the North
Rhine - Westphalian voters alsc
showed they have no love for re
surgent German Nationalism. The
noisy militant ecandidates—some
of them with Hitler-like ideas—
got only 19 per cent of the bal
lots. Extremism, both of left and
right, was rejected.
The voters turned instead to
theiz;ttiradi(t:gxi:l ti:narties—thetsCon
rvativ
:&e&s‘)@i’mm (Sociai Democratic
).
By a quirk of local politics, the
Conservative voters were respons
ible for approval of a constitution
calling for socialization. They ap
parently voted for the constitution
because it contained a provision
calling for denominational schools
administered by the churches.
Large Forest
Fire Reported
ATLANTA, June 19—(AP)—
The State Forestry Department re
ported a large forest fire in Ap
pling and Jeff Davis counties to
day.
The department said State For
ester Guyton Deloach had gone
to the area to direct fire fighting
efforts.
Miss Doris Hammond, a secre
tary in the forestry office, said
she drove through the fire area
yesterday, while returning to At
lanta.
“It was burning awfully strong
when we came through,” she said.
“Woods were on fire in Wayne,
Appling, and Jeff Davis counties,
We were told that several houses
had burned.”
She said the fire had not crossed
the Altamaha river but appeared
centered between Hazlehurst and
Baxley.
Route Changes
In Bus Service
A change was made today in
the city bus service in the Ag
Hill section according to D. H.
Stoddard, vice president and gen
eral manager of Athens City
Lines.
The change came as the result
of a petition by 124 residents of
the Morton Avenue section.
Service on University Drive will
operate as usual on University
Drive to Pinecrest Drive. At
Pinecrest, the bus will travel for
one block to Morton Avenue and
then down Morton to Ag Drive.

Lacking “Fire”
Shown In Past
ATLANTA, June 19— (AP)—
Georgia is deciding whether to
bowl over two political kingpins
next week—Veteran Sen. Walter
F. George and Young Gov. Her
man Talmadge.
But the fire, fervor and ferment
that has marked some past Geor
gia campaigns is missing in the
build-up for the June 28 state
Democratic primary,
George, 72-year-old chairman
of the Senate Finance Committee
and senior member and past
chairman of the Foreign Relations
Committee, has played front and
center in U. S. affairs for years,
He has fought some deal and
fair deal policies and championed
others. But these aren’t the issues.
His foe, Alex McLennan, 44-
year-old Atlanta attorney and
decorated war veteran, has built
his campaign around a repeated
charge that George is a tool of
New York bankers and big cor
porations.
McLennan says the senator
“can’t point to a single act he has
‘sponsored in his 28" years in the
Senate for the benefit of the
wior,l”dng men and farmers of Geor
gia.”"
George hardly has lifted a fin
ger in outright politicing, resting
on assurances of friends that his
re-election is safe. McLennan has
campaigned lightly with radio
broadcasts, brief handshaking
tours, and more than 300,000
pamphlets mailed to every rural
delivery box and post office box
in Georgia,
To make the race, McLeinan
surrendered his role as Governor
Talmadge’s merit board appointee,
chief of the Governor’s honorary
staff, and close Talmadge friend
and political crony. ‘
Talmadge has been openly cool
to his candidacy.
The Governor is fighting for re
election against his old enemy,
former Gov. M. E. Thompson. ‘
White Supremacy
Supreme Court decisions hitting
at racial segregation have fanned
the fires of the Talmadge “white
supremacy” line.
From every campaign stumé),
Talmadge waves newspaper head
lines on the decisions and shouts
that Thompson is a fellow traveller
with “that little scalawag, anti
segregation, FEPC crowd.”
He also cites record funds for
schools, roads, hospitals, welfare
payments and other state services
and promises to continue “unpre
cedented progress.” ; .
