Vol. CXIX, No. 101.
Jap Angle W' Carefully
Considered, Says Marshall
{3 Billion Hike
WASHINGTON, May 10— (AP).
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee turned today to proposals
{0 increase corporation taxes after
voting a $3,000,000,000-a-year rate
rise for individual income taxpay
€rs.
The imdividual increase—three
percentage points across the board
in each tax bracket—was adopted
yesterday by a close margin. That
means a hike of about 15 per cent
in the actual amount of taxes per
sons in the lower income brackets
would pay. For persons in the
ssoo,ooo—year class, the hike
would be“about 3 per cent.
According to reports coming
from the closed session, the tally
was 13 to 12 for the increase. Two
Democrats joined the 10 commit
tee Republicans in opposition. No
names were announced,
GOP Loss
It also was reported, however,
that Republicans lost out 15 to 10
on a straight party-line division on
a substitute plan® Which would
have simply increased each tax
payer's obligation by 10 per cent.
Such an increase would have had
a lighter impact on smaller tax
pavers than the plan tenatively
adorted
The administration had sought
an increase of four percentage
points in each bracket, for an esti
mated $3,600,000,000 additional
revenue yearly.
If finally approved by the House
and Senate, the three-point in
crease will raise taxes of a mar
ried man with two dependents and
al, income of $5,000 before exemp
tions from $520 a year to $598. For
a SIO,OOO man, the new tax would
be SIB2O compared with $1,592
at present.
Income Tax Hikes
Individual income taxes have
r:}:mdy been hiked once since the
Korean war started. The boost was
elfective last Oect. 1.
The tax-drafting committee ap
proved special relief for single
persons who are the heads of fam
il'es—widows, for example.
The administration has recom
mended that $3,000,000,000 addi
tional taxes be levied on corpora=-
tions by an increase of eight per
centage points in the normal cor
porate rate,
The other big source of poten
tial additional income President
Trgman wants to tap is excise
levies on selected items such as
automobiles,” - radios, gasoline,
liquor and tobacco. Treasury plans
call for an extra $3,000,000,000

MacArthur Removal Is Further
Investigated By Senate Group
WASHINGTON, May 10.— (AP) —Secretary Marshall
brushed aside today a suggestion that Lt. General Matthew

firing of General Douglas MacArthur. He said they were
not “parallel.”
For the fourth day, Marshall was in the witness chair
before the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations
Committees. They are inquiring into General MacArthur’s
dismissal and the Korean war policy differences behind it.

Senator H. Alexander Smith (R.-
N.J.) quoted a two-months old
statement by Lt. General Matthew
B. Ridgway which said “it would
be a tremendous victory for the
United Nations if the war ended
with our forces in control up to
the. 38th parallel.”
Smith asked if that wasn’t the
very kind of statement MacArthur
has been criticized for making
without first clearing it with the
Pentagon.
Marshall replied: “I don’t think
that there is a sufficient of a par
allel there, senator. We have for
example had no general publie
discussions regarding the 38th
parallel so far as the commanders
in the field and the government
here in Washington (are con
cerned).
Encouraging Message
“There Ridgway was saying
solething to the encouragement
of his forces, as he did in a state
ment that was released this morn
ing.”
It was not immediately brought
out what later Ridgway statement
Marshall had in mind. There was
a statement today from Lt. Gen
eral Edward M. Almond, comr
mander of the U. S. 10th Corps,
saying the Red Chinese armies in
Korea are “wilting on the vine”
for lack of supplies. -
Similarly, Smith raised ques
tions yesterday about statements
made by Lt. General George E.
Stratemeyer, air commander in
the Far East. Stratemeyer had
been quoted in interviews as
stressing the handicaps imposed
by the fact he was unable to
strike at enemy planes while they
were on the ground at Manchurian
bases.
~ In response to other questions
from Smrith, Marshall said the ad
‘ministration “very carefully con=
~sidered” the effect on the Japan
ese people before removing Mac-
Arthur as occupation chief.
- Smith had asked whether those
who ousted MacArthur took into
‘account “the inevitable adverse
‘ relations with Japan at this criti
cal moment.”
‘ Marshall said it was generally
recognized that MacArthur’s pres
tige with the Japanese pecple
“was not to be duplicated, cer
tainly in a short time, by any
other individual.”
Divided Authority
He went on to say, however,
that if MacArthur had been allow
ed to remain as occupation chief,
while losing his post as United
Nations commander in the Korean
war, the result would have been

In the early afternoon of May

Tanks and South Korean i
Munsan without opposition, t
Elsewhere along the 100 mile
front the greatest obstacles en
countered by probing tank patrols
were mine fields eovered by small
arms fire,
Chinese armies are “wilting on

plies, said Lt. Gen, Edward M. Al

The Reds have withdrawn to
keep out of range of U. N. artillery.
Nevertheless, Almond ouution:g;
they presumably are preparing

“We are prepared for them,” he
said. “We are killing large w?lunnfi

An FEighth Army spokesmar
'said 6,000 North Korean Reds who
‘had threatened to outflank Seoul
were either killed or routed.

the Republicans from the hills,
The tank-infantry patrol on the
highway ran into no opposition.
On a neighboring highway be=
tween Uijongbu and the 38th Par«

small Chinese screening unit 19
miles North of Seoul.
Other armered forces roamed
the central front, reentered Chun

and clanked into Inje on the
eastern front without opposition.
The Fifth Air Force reported it
still was studying the results of
Wednesday’s raid on Sinuiju air
field by 812 U. N. planes but it
was clear they inflicted “eonsid
erable damage.” ‘
Eight Marine planes were hit in
the raid, the greatest air strike of
the war, But not a single raiding
pi}gt was gcratched, the Alr Force
said.
Alr Patrols
American F-88 Sabre jets flew
patrol over Sinuiju Thursday,
within sight of Russian-type jets
parked on an alr field across the
border in Manchuria. The Red
planes remained safely on the
ground.

south of the Pan American High~
way, 65 miles east of San Salva
dor, revealed scenes of utter de
vastation.
i The full fury of the quakes
struck at this regional coffee cen
ter of Jucuapa. Not a single build
ing was left inhabitable in the city
of 14,000. Already 77 bodies have
been dug from the debris, identi
fied and burled. Loocal officials ex
pect to find as many again before
rescue work is completed.
| Ruined City
Next hardest hit was China
meca, a town of 8,000, two miles
east of Jucuapa. There the toll has
reached 15 dead and 71 seriously
injured. Most of Chinameca’s
buildings were destroyed.
Rescue work in the stricken
yone has been hampered by re
peated earth tremors which have
go far been light, but which are
feared to forashadow another.ma
jor quake. Scores of these tremors.
were reported Tuesday and seven
distinct shocks were felt in Jucua
pa between 8 a. m. and noon yes+"
terday.
Sunday’s quake did little dam
age In Chinameca but was a
warning and most towns people
fled. Otherwise the death toll
there probably would have been
far higher when the major shock
came there Monday.
In the nearby town of Saniago
De Maria, with 6,000 inhabitants,
no deaths were reported, but 80
per cent of the houses were badly
damaged.
Widespread Damages
In Berlin, farther to the west
some 30 per cent of the houses
were re&)orted destroyed. *
Considerable damage, but few
deaths, were reported in smaller
villages in the area.
Jucuapa is a nightmare of shat
tered wooden beams and piles of
smashed adobe blocks. Here and
there a roofless frame still stands
at a crazy angle. All the inhabi
tants have been cleared out and
troops have pitched tents in the
main square. Some of the resi
dents have returned to the devas
tated city to try to salvage be
longings from the ruins.
