I Ak BILL is
APPROVED BY
Senate TODAY

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The Sen
ate today put its Okay on the S.
$40 100000 -slashing bill and sent
it to President Truman for sigma
ture.
The legislation strikes 100000
persons from the income tax rolls,
lightens levies on others, eases tax
burdens on business and wipes out
use taxes on automobiles and boats.
The Senate also heard Senator
McKellar's view on the future Of
atomic energy. He said the U. S.
should hang on to its atom-splitting
secrets.
The Democratic Senator from
Tennessee said he didn't think even
a little bit of the atom energy Sec
ret should be shared until the atomic
bomb actually is outlawed by inter-
national agreement.
The lawmakers meanwhile got
another prod from President Tru-
man to get on with so-called full
employment" legislation. In a letter
to House Democratic Leader McCor-
mack of Massachusetts,, Mr.. Truman
said such legislation is 'of the ut
most urgency and Importance.
But mostly the talk was of science.

1t played major part in Secre-
tary Of State Byrnes speech before

q three-point policy:
1.-The United States fully recog-
niZes Russias special security in

try would readily accept an eastern

EXPLAINED BY
TWA BOOSTER
Would Be from Frisco. Sc.
attIe, Alaskan Point,
Then 10 Orient

WASHINGTON, Nov. lon the
basis of existing traffic, the North
Pacific air route should originate
at San Francisco, a Transconti-
mental and Western spokesman de-
clared.
George A. Spater, TWA attorney,
told the Civil Aeronautics Board
that a successful operator OF, the
northern route to the Orient must
tap the west coast, occupy a strong
position in the east and connect
with a transatlantic route. He &C
knowledged that the bulk of Orient
/. bound traffic may ultimately move
through Chicago but declared the
historic route is from the Pacific
and you can't change trade rela-
tons overnight"
If given the route, for which sew
eral other airlines are contesting,
TWA, Spater said, would fly from
San Francisco through Seattle to
an Alaskan point and on up the
Siberian coast. At some point in
China, he said, the route should
connect with TWAS transatlantic
route. thus far authorized only to
Calcutta
Spater anticipated an "enormous"
expansion of business traffic, a
terrific" government business and
a gradual increase in tourist bust
ness. He said round world
travellers have been estimated at
around 5000 a year
CAB examiners have recon-
mended that Northwest Airlines
fly the route via Chicago and that
Pan American extend its present
Central Pacific route to Tokyo and
Shanghai.

DEFY CEASE
FIRE ORDER
Conflict with British Con-
iinues as Soekarno Az
temps understanding
BY RALPH MORTON

BATAVIA, Java, Nov. l-EXtrem-
ist Indonesian forces, apparently
out of control of President Soc
karno of the "Indonesian Republic, .
were reported intensifying their at
tacks on the thin British forces in
several sections of central and
western Java tonight in defiance
of an order of their president to
cease fighting.
At Magelang three British fighter
planes struck at extremists and
supported Gurkha troops in re-
capturing most of the town after
the Indonesians had opened up
with mortars. A bombing line was
reported to have been established
at Magelang to prevent extremist
forces from reaching the town.
Elsewhere, the tenseness which
gripped this island for weeks lifted
perceptibly following meeting
between Dutch and Nationalist
leaders, the first attempt at reach
ing a mutual understanding.
President Soekarno, heading the
Nationalist at the conference in
Batavia last night, presented ar
gumentS for recognition of an In
donesian de facto government. and
the Dutch pleaded for cooperation
as serving the best interests of all
concerned The Dutch information
service, announcing the meeting,
said it was informal and discus
sions were of an ORIGINATING ma
ture."
A squadron of Stuart tanks Of
the Eleventh Cavalry was unloaded
at Soerabaja today to reinforce
British troops at that naval base.
Lit. Gen. Sir Philip Christison,
Allied Commander in The Neither
lands East Indies, was host for the
meeting and its chief architect. 1t
seemed clear that Britain was
anxious to show the world she
could be scrupulously fair in arbi-
trating such differences, and de-
sired to solve the crisis in order
to raise her prestige in the East.

Atomic Bomb TEST by
NayyNay Destroy Fish;
General Fears Expressed

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-Officials
of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife
Service expressed concern to-day
that the Nays ocean tests Of the
atomic bomb might destroy large
numbers of commercially important
fish.
Fleet Admiral Ernest j. King,
Chief of Naval Operations, has an
nounced that bombs will be exploded
both in and above the sea to de-
termine the effects on the hulls of
surface ships and submarines.
Elmer Higgings, Chief Fishery Bio
/ logist of the Fish and Wildlife
Service, said the conclusion from
underwater explosions of dynamite
kills sea life within thousands of
feet.
1T is assumed Higgins said in an
interview, that the atom bomb eX-
plosion will be the most potent that
ever has occurred in the sea. In
dQOIllOll W Vic CbiltuSoiOll, AZ 10 tlkt-
ly that radio-activity started by the
bomb will be deadly to the fish"
1t would be difficult, Higgings
continued, to designate a time and
place for the least destruction to
sea life because little is known about
the spawning season and migration
habits of some important Pacific
fish, notably the tuna.
Dr. Ira N. Gabrielson Director of
the service, and Higgins said they
would be interested in an investiga-
ton to determine the effects of the
atom blast and radio activity on
fish.
Higgins suggested that the service
might request permission to send
representatives with the Navy re-
search crew, or ask the Navy to
assign former service biologists now
in the Navy to pick up floating
specimens of dead fish for analysis.
He said there is possibility the
explosions might bring to the sur
face hitherto unknown species.
