stated.
THE recent refusal of certain
nations to join in common endeav-
ors to establish conditions of world
stability increases the difficulty of
our task and exposes us to greater
risk" President Truman informed
Congress. Until we are better able
to estimate the cost of our invest
ment in world peace and collective
security, it is unwise to make 80
large a cut in our Governments
future income that our ability to
meet our needs would be impaired" !"
Applies to 100000.
The bill, applying to approx
mately 100000 taxpayers, carried
provisions for cut of 80 per cent for
persons with taxable incomes below
81 900; 20 to 80 per cent for those
with incomes from 81 900 to 81 400;
20 per cent on incomes between
81 400 and $137,000;;. Is per cent 3pn
incomes between $4,000 and $302,-
900, and los per cent on incomes
over $302,0 The bill also provides
an additional. $500 personal exenp-
ton for persons over IS. thus bring
their total exemption to $1,000.
The veto message contained. mo
specific plan of income tax reduc-
tion, but it recommended that when
the time comes to lessen the war
time tax burdens, they be reduced
on a basis "that is fair to low in
come groups as well as to high
income groups"
Sees Imitation Aided.
Mr.. Truman declared that so far
as he can determine at present, the
Governments expenditures for the
current fiscal year will not be sub
stantially less than he estimated in
his budget message last January.
and that major tax reduction and
an adequate payment on the public
debt cannot be made at the same
time.
The President also asserted that
a tax reduction as proposed in the
bill would contribute to many infla-
tionary pressures.
First Republican comment on the
veto came from National Chairman
Carroll Reece, who said that ap-
parently the President is determined
that his White House tenure shall
go down in history as the veto ad-
miniStration.
And you can spell it either veto
or Vito without doing violence to
the facts" Mr.. Reece said. "Once
more Mr.. Veto in the White House
has followed the party line drawn in
Congress by Vito Marcantonio.

Is not forthcoming, Mr.. Rees Is ex-
pected to support the move to have
the House Appropriations Commit
tee provide the money to put Presi-
dent Truman's program into effect
What particularly disturbs Mr.
Rees and other members of Con-
gress is that departments and
agencies on present limited investi-
gative resources turned up 811 dis
loyal workers.
Think of how many more dis
loyal employees there must be, who
would be uncovered by full-scale
investigation" Mr.. Rees said today.
760 Disloyal in Army.
In yesterdays report to Con-
gress, the commission revealed that
during the nine-month period the
War Department found approx
mately 76O of its employees to be
disloyal. Mr.. Rees had asked the
commission to obtain the loyalty
figures from all agencies.
The War Department supplied
the commission with figures on only
one of the four major Army areas.
The department explained that a
full investigation of its records
would take considerable time, and
1t suggested to the commission that
the 100 loyalty cases found in one
of the areas be multiplied by four
to arrive at a reasonably correct
figure
Approximately 645 of the 311 en-
ployes were charged with being
members of the Communist Party
or fellow travellers. The report did
not specify on what charges the
166 employees were found guilty, but
presumably they belonged to Fascist
organizations and the Ku Klux
Klan.
The 8ll loyalty cases occurred in
six departments. Here Is a break
down on where the cases occurred:
War Department, 760: Navy. 3S;
Labor, S: Veterans Administration,

Mr.. Reece continued.

Eis|er Witness Says
By kewboId koyes, Jr.

William Odell NOVEL; OF Detroit. a
former American Communist who

Moscow, testified at the passport
fraud trial of Gerhart Eisler today
that all Communists are agents of
the supposedly defunct Commupist
International.

he sought an exit permit to Ger
many in 1945 that he had Com
munist Affiliations, used aliases and
had been in the United States be-
fore.
Mr. NOVEL;, colored, was cross-ex-
amined this morning on his testi-
mony that he knew Eisler in Mos

as an agent of the Communist In
ternational known variouslv as
Edwards" "Gerhart" and Brown" :"

it was true that he himself had been
called a former Comintern agent"
in an editors note to newspaper
article on Communist activities for
which he supplied the information.
YES" said Mr.. NOVEL;. "It Is true
in the sense that every Communist
is essentially a Comintern agent"
Mr.. Isserman probed the witness
memory about his stay in Moscow in
1891 and 1882 and also questioned
Mr.. NOVEL;, who gave his occupation
as carpenter and painter" about
his association with Gerald L. K.
Smith. The witness admitted hav-
ing spoken from the same platform
as Smith In Detroit In 1941, but en-
phatically denied he had acted as
Smiths adviser on race relations.
Fined $40 for Hardness.
Mr.. NOVEL;, who was 40 minutes
late in arriving in court this morn
ing because he "overslept," was flned
$40 by Justice James w. Morris for

Der of the Communist Party. who

women yesterday that he, like

KEN Sees Senate OK
On Justice Probe
BY me Assee;o.sd Press

Senator KEN. Republican. OF Mis-
souri,, said today he is confident the
Senate will approve his proposal to
investigate the way the Justice De-
partment handled charges of Kan
sas City voting frauds in the ls46
congressional primary.
1.-THE leadership intends to put it
through" Senator KEN told a re-
porter as the Senate prepared to
resume consideration of the issue
again today.
The primary was the one in which
Enos Axtell, with President Tru-
mans open support. defeated in
cumbent Roger Slaughter. The fight
over Senator Kem's resolution for
a Senate investigation is shaping up
along virtually straight party lines.
Mr.. Axtell lost In the general elec-
ton.
Republican Leader White served
notice that the Senate may meet
into the night and resume debate
tomorrow If necessary to reach a
vote.
The KEN resolution was before
the chamber for about six hours
yesterday with virtually no progress.
Senator KEN was plainly annoyed
as he listened to his colleagues dis
cuss the British attitude toward
Palestine, a letter from constitu-
ent to Senator Hatch, Democrat, Of
New Mexico about the income tax
reduction bill, convention govern
ing sock-eye salmon fishing of the
Pacific Coast. the Taft Hartley

we can get down to maintaining

Foremen Charge Ford
Broke Word by Firing
q; Talk Of New Strike
BY the Ass,ciofed Press

DETROIT, July 18.-The' Fore
mans Association of America, claim
ing the Ford Motor Co. broke cts
promise to us" in firing 80 super
usors in connection with the recent
foremen's strike, moved today for
counteraction.
Union heads called Sunday meet
ing of Ford foremen to consider a
new walkout, and announced they
would file an unfair labor practices
charge with TIE National Labor Re-
lations Board.
Ford, reporting the f1rings yester-
day, accused the 80 foremen of par
ticipating in gangster terrorism
during the 47-day walkout, and said
the discharges were made after a
thorough investigation.
NLRB Complaint Planned.
John S. Bugas, Ford vice president
and director of industrial relations,
announced the company's move and
said Ford would hold to its promise
10 take no discrimination against
any one for legal participation in the
foremen's strike"
But the foremen's association pres
tdent, Robert H. Keys, asserted he
had been told by Ford officials dur
ing the wakout that there would
be absolutely no recriminations or
seprisals against us
,Iyofoir lohnr r.
tices charge, Mr.. Keys and Pat
Mullin. president OF the associa-
tion's Ford chapter, indicated they
were working against time and
hoped to get it processed before
August % when the Taft Hartley
Act goes into effect.
Under the new law, employers
are not required to bargain with
foremen. Mr.. Mulli1 said the FORE
mems association would ask i'm
mediate consideration of the charge
by the NLRB.
The meeting to discuss new
strike was set just two weeks after
Ford foremen voted to end the long
walkout that failed to gain the new
contract the union sought.
Another Strike Indicated.
Mr.. Mullin said he believed the
Sentiment among members" would
lead to calling another strike, add
ing that union officials had found
it difficult to keep our people on the
job" after the firings were an
nounced.
The company charged that clubs,
knives and even guns were used by
FAA COON squads" during the strike
that began May 81. However, both
union officials claimed some OF the
80 discharged men were not involved
in violence.
They have absolutely no proof
Of the charges levelled against these
men, Mr.. Keys stated, and added
that some foremen accused in war
rants of assault were found innocent
by courts.
