The $500, 100000 tax cut
planned for 1916 will be followed
by further reductions for 1947
in a more comprehensive peace
time revision of the Revenue Act
next year, Chairman George of
the Senate Finance Committee
predicted last night.
Certainly in l947 and l948 taxes
will be appreciably lower, although
they still will be high in comparison

tor said, as he prepared to start pub
lie hearings at 10:30 am. tomorrow
on the temporary measure.
This prospect of a thorough over
hauling Of the entire tax structure
In the near future led informed
sources at the Capitol to believe the
Finance Committee may make COM
paratively few changes in the House
version of the temporary bill. Lead

Farrell Cabinet
Two Other Resigned
Ministers Kept in
Argentine Regime
By the Associated Press.

BUENOS AIRES. Oct. 49,
Power in the new Argentine cab.
met appeared to be centerine
tonight in the hands of Gen
Eduardo Avalos and Rear Ad.
nliral Hector Vernengo Lima as
President Edelmiro Farrell
sought to create a government
to weather Argentina's stormy
political crisis.
Gen. Avalos, who took over the
War Ministry after Col. Juan Peron
was forced to resign as vice presi-
dent and war minister Tuesday
disclosed that he had taken over
the Ministries of Interior and FL
nance and that Admiral Vernengo
Lima, sworn in tonight as Navy
Minister, was taking over the For
eign Ministry and Ministry of JUS
tice and Education.
Thus the six portfolios of highest
responsibility were placed in the
hands of two officers who forced
Col. Peron out of power. Still to be
filled are the Ministries of Agricul-
ture and Public Works, to which
technical men might be named.
Gen. Avalos also announced the
lifting of press and radio censorship
throughout the country.
Two Ministers Retained.
:. Previously Farrell announced that
he was retaining Commodore Ed
r11undo SuStaita as Secretary of Aero
nautics and 1t. Col. Marionano
Abraca as Secretary of Industry and
Commerce and named DR.. Juan Fen
tanes as Acting Secretary of Labor
and Social Welfare The last post
was one vacated by Peron, now un-
der arrest aboard warship.
Another development was the
resignation of a three man federal
electoral court, in reality a govern
ment commission set up Sby Col.
peron when he reorganized old po-
ntical parties to his liking.
1t still was not clear whether
Farrell would survive the crisis.
After the former cabinet stepped
down yesterday, the army said 1t
had the Presidents resignation 'for
use at any moment" )" and the power
handed Avalos and Vernengo Lima
was not regarded as a complete So
luton to the country's problem.
Impasse Creates Crisis.
The ,nlain problem In the crisis
is an iEnpasSe between political lead
ers and the army. The political
leaders insist that the country's ad-
ministration be turned over to the
supreme court, and the army wants
to retain power until after the elec-
tions April Z, 1946.
No violence was reported today.

served briefly as foreign minister,
was reported ordered detained in

tiers in Buenos Aires on the ground
that he left his command at Bahia
Blanca without permission.
Gen. Peluffo is one of the most ac-
tive generals espousing the transfer

Federal Labor Chiefs
Await Truman RuIinq
On Navy Union Order
Fear Other Agencies
Moy Curb Supervisors;
Eorly Decision Expected
BY JOSEPH YOUNG.

A decision expected to have
widespread effect on activities of
unions of Government workers
here is expected shortly when
President Truman rules on the
Navy Departments order bar
ring its supervisory employees
from participating in union af-
fairs.
The Navy's order brought a storm
OF protest from Federal labor lead
ers and caused the Navy to tenn
porarily suspend action and submit
the issue to President Truman for
a final decision.
Chief concern of the unions is
the possibility that should the Or
der be upheld other Government
agencies might follow the Navy's
action and ban union activity by
supervisory employees. 1t would be
body blow to Federal unionism
labor leaders feel.
Many Are Supervisors.
Union officials point out that
many workers in the Government
have supervisory duties. 1t isn't
uncommon in Federal bureaus for
one clerical worker to act as super
visor of five or six other employees
in an Office, it was said. If all en-
ployes who have some responsibility
over the work of others come un-
der the supervisory employees ban,
1t would mean the loss of thousands
of union members, officials said. /.
James B. Burns, president OF the
American Federation of Government
Employees, pointed out that many
Of the unions most active members
hold supervisory positions.
'sIt is only natural that a person
who has attained supervisory rank
would be the kind who would be
an active member in union affairs, .

along with that feature of the House
bill. One member said any effort
to keep these wage earners in the
lower salary brackets on the tax
rolls would lead to controversy, and
delay early passage of the bill.
Senatpr George pointed out that,
regardless OF what we. do in this
initial bill, postwar tax bill will
come along right after it" and bring
about general review of tax bur-
ders. He. said this more compre-
hei1site TAX revision plan should be
completed by June, to provide an
advance picture, Of what may be ex-
pected in 1947.
There is a strong likelihood, how
ever. the Senate committee will fol-
low the view of Chairman George to
repeal the excess profits tax imme-
diately. Secretary of the Treasury
Vinson, who will be the first witness
tomorrow, already has recommended
its repeal on January /.
George Would Drop Tax.
The House voted merely to reduce
the excess profits levy from 85.5 to
so per cent in 1946, and repeal it
in 1947, in order to lower the normal
and surtax rates on corporations
also in 1916. Senator George be-
lieves Congress should drop the
excess profits tax entirely to stimu-
late reconversion, and let revision
of the normal and surtax rates on
corporations wait until 1947.
In addition to relieving 12.00o, 900
individuals in the lower-income
brackets of all taxes, the House bill
gives other individuals a tax cut
Of at least 10 per cent. 1t also
provides:
A reduction of excise taxes on
many commodities on July / back
to the 1912 rates, including furs,
jewelry, cosmetics and liquor.
Freezing of the payroll tax for
old-age insurance at the present
rate of / per cent each on employer
an demploye for another year.
Repeal in July of the declared
value capital stock tax.
