PRESIDENT WANTS
INCOME TAX CUT
Continued From Page One)

which goes to the new Republican
controlled Congress on Jan. 10 He
also may mention taxes in his
State of the union message and his
report on the l947-48 economic out
look.
At present his fiscal advisers are
gathering data to counter Republi-
can demands for a 20 per cent
across-the-boa-ds reduction.
Kopplemann gave what may be
the clue to Mr.. Humans position
on this. He said the President was
deeply interested when he told the
Chief Executive that the. "Republi-
cans want to cut the taxes Of the
big fellows, and completely dis
regard the national debt"
He said Mr.. Truman was think
ing about that and that it seemed
to him that any reductions should
affect heads of families making
less than $4,000. But he also quoted
the President as saying that he
didn't think the Republicans would
go along on a program affecting
only the small wage Garner.
Kopplemann stressed that if the
President suggests any reductions
they will be based entirely on the
l947-48 economic climate.

quoted Brett as saying that the
whipping was administered with a

An official government press re-
lease, issued later, said the officer
was told by the kidnapers that ne

Airborne officers, summoned to
the resort hotel, took Brett to
the Nathanya military camp i'm
mediately after his return.
New security measures were
reliably reported to have been In
stituted in most Palestine cities
to prevent other flashing of British
officers.
1t also was learned that new
warnings Of floggings had been
posted throughout the Holy Land
by underground organizations.
The broadcast warning last week
by Irgun said that British soldiers
would be whipped if authorities
carried out a sentence of 10 lashes
and IS years Imprisonment on To-
year-old Benjamin Kimkhin, coli
victed of participating in the
Jaffs bank robbery Sept. 10. The

.BILB0 CONFIDENT
|. OF KEEPING SEAT
Mississippi Senator Elect
Plans To TAXI Oath OF
Office Friday

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29-PC
Senator Bilbo (D-Miss) expressed
assurance Sunday he will take his
seat in the Both Congress despite
a report rapping his dealings with
war contractors.
The report, by the Senate War
Investigating committee, has ap-
proval of a majority of the group,
Senator Ferguson (R-Mich) re-
ported. Members called it very
tough"
Back from his Mississippi
dream house" where he spent
Christmas, Bilbo told a reporter
he has mo immediate plans other
than taking the oath Of office on
Jan. j." He interrupted a question
about the committee report with
a quick mo comment"
Bilbo explained he will have moth
ing to say about the efforts to
unseat him until he has confer
red with his attorney, Forrest B.
Jackson.
The Republicans expect to COM
plete their strategy at their Sena'
torial conference Monday.
The committee report makes nc
recommendation to the Senate re
garding the seating of Bilbo. How
ever, it is said to criticize strong
ly his dealing with war contract
orS.
Ferguson, a former judge and q
leader in the Republican effort te
Dust Bilbo, said the report probab
" will be filed Thursday with the
secretary of the Senate.
He declined any comment on its
contents in advance and would no
name the five Senators who en-,
oorsed it. At least one Democratic
endorsement was included mas
much as there r only four Re
publicans On the nine-member COM
mittee.
Bilbo strongly denied any wrong
doing in his dealings with the
contractors.

FRENCH PUT BAR
ON SAAR TRAVEL
(Continued From Page One)

(CO0tluucu TlONl d6c OAASJ
The orders were issued by Gen.
Pierre Koenig. whose recent action
in throwing a 1,200-man customs
Gordon around the Saar was de-
scribed as "unilateral' by high
United States Military government
officials.
Customs officials at all road
entries into the 738-square mile
Saar. which France claims his
~torically and economically" were
ordered to prohibit Germans from
leaving or entering the territory
without special passes after mid
night Sunday night. =.
Passports Required
Other nationals were required to
possess passports with a special
visa in three languages. Germans
were forbidden to take more than
100 Marks out of the Saar
under threat of confiscation and
| arrest. E
German political party leaders
declared that the ban on move
ments of all persons, particularly
Germans, was designed to stabi-
lie the Saar population.
At the same time, Koenig's mill
tary government Of the Saar an
nounced that between 1000 and
10, 0o0 natives of the Saar in French
prisoner of war camps would be
freed and would be asked to re
turn to the Saar to work in mines
which already are producing 70
percent of their peak pre-war pro-
duction.
An amnesty for persons ,onvict-
ed of misdemeanors throughout
the French zone also was an
nounced.
While French officials denied that
last weeks frontier Gordon con-
stituted an annexation" of the
Saar, these facts were revealed
! Sunday by both French and Ger
man authorities.
The French are importing guam
titles of food into the Saar and it
is going mostly to miners, increas-
ing their daily ration up to 1000
calories. The average ration for
a German in the French zone is
1880 calories.
The customs Gordon was estab-
lished o~bstensibly to prevent ad-
ditional food from flowing through
black market channels into the rest
of the French zone French Off
Gals, however, said most of the
extra food is consumed at the pit
heads.
Censorship of newspapers and the
radio is enforced, in contrast to
the United States occupational zone,
where censorship takes the form
of disqualification reprimand.

CHANCES IMPROVE
FOR UNlFICATl0N
Democratic Senators Ex-
press Belief Army-Navy
Merger Near

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s-(P-
Three Democratic Senators Sun
day reported Chances good that
the new Congress with Republican
majorities will approve Preslden,
Truman's request for uniflcatlon OF
the armed forces.
Senators Will DALAI, Democra-
tic whip, Ebert Thomas (D-Utah)'
outgoing chairman of the military
committee, and Edwin c. Jonn-
son D-Colo) predicted the con-
gressional reorganization winch
companies the formerly separate
naval and military committees OF
both the Senate and House will pro-
duce the support for unltlcatlon.
II find that public sentiment
is overwhelmingly in favor OF unlfl-
cation" Hill told a reporter. IN
less you hunt up a man who is
stepped in Ma theology, he IS
for it. The new combined com
mittees make a o favorable
situation for passage of this BILL
Mr.. Truman, with the support
of Army and Air Force leaders,
tried repeatedly to get legislation
last session that would combine the
War and Navy departments into
a single cabinet department with
equal land, sea and air forces.
He has said he plans to renew the
recommendation to the new Con-
gress.
Thomas, who helped draft the
legislation, agreed that the single
new armed forces committee
makes chances very good for pas
sage"
IF it does not come at this ses-
sion of Congress it will during the
next" Thomas added. Anything
this vital and important is a result
of education and a process OF
evolution"
johnson, who presided at many
of the committee hearings on n
fication last session, similarly COM
mented that chances for passage
are greatly improved because the
Congress has consolidated the two
committees"
Most our war leaders now know
that we do not fight a naval war
or land war" Johnson said. Amy
future conflict will be an about
wal in which civilians and industry
as we'll as the several branches OF
the armed forces must participate
arnd suffer together
Senator Quincy (R-SD) probably
will become chairman of the new
armed forces committee. He voted
for the %unificatlon plan at the
last session and is expected to lead
the new fig TO it.

Change Plans
Talmadge leaders originally plan
ned to impeach Arnall if he refus-
ed to yield, but they abandoned
this because it would require two
thirds majority of the State senate
Now, they are understood from
trustworthy sources to plan merely
to bypass Arnall, allowing him
complete freedom of the capitol
and possession of his office-but
no money.
Herman Talmadge would be
sworn in as Georgia's youngest
governor in history and take pos
session of a desk in the rotunda

he would conduct state business ir

trees, ''took down their pants and
administered 10 strokes apiece"
British Army authorities and
Palestine police began an immed-
late hunt for the floggers, while
the army recalled all military
personnel in the coastal area to
their camps. Notices summoning
the men yer flashed in motion
picture houses, and military police
carried the announcement into
saloons.
The flogging of the %sergeants
was done in the presence of a
small group of onlookers, held at
bay by the Tommy gunners. The
soldiers then were driven to a
nearby geological garden, again
trussed to trees and left there as
their attackers fled.
Police received an anonymous
telephone call notifying them where
the sergeants could be found, but
before police reached the scene
the sergeants had freed themselves
and walked to the police station.
The major, taken from the lounge
in an automobile by five men, limp
ed back an hour later, clad only
in his underwear.
Police said that the Nathanya
office of the Haaretz Hebrew Ian
guage newspaper received an an
onymous telephone call in Hebrew
that the Jewish underground organ
ization Irgu Zvai Leumi was re-
sponsible for the floggings.
Eyewitnesses expressed the be-
lief that the kidnapers, all of
whom carried Tommy guns, were
"Jewish terrorists." The Jewish
underground Irgun Zvai Leumi
broadcast last week that British
officers would be whipped if any
whipping were carried out against
Irgun members.
The manager Of the Hotel Metro
pol said the five men entered the
lounge, where Brett and his wife
were sitting, and ordered: Hands
up. Don't move. You will come
with U.s."
No one else was in the lounge
at the time, the manager said, but
at least a dozen people were in
the adjacent dining room.
The manager said he was tolo
bv them: Don't move. No harm
will be done to you, your hotel OF
