Anti-Communist Unit
Votes 10 Split With
French Labor Group
Resolution Calls on All
Minority Followers to .
Quit Posts in CGT
By the Assoeiated Press


PARIS, Dec. 19.-Representa-
tives of the Anti Communist
minority of the powerful General
Confederation of Labor (CGT)
voted overwhelmingly today to
split with the parent organiza-
ton.
The delegates were believed to
represent approximately 1,250,000
workers of the Communist -domi-
mated CGT's 100000 adherents.
The break was made, a commu-
nique said, "to free the French syn
dical movement from all political
control"
The resolution, calling on all fol-
lowers of the minority tendency to
resign their posts in the CGT, was
approved by a vote of 156 to /, with
two absentions.
The minority group, known as the
Workers Force" directed it's fol-
lowers to prepare for a national con-
gress to set up a true confederaI
organization for all workers." and
appealed to all French workers to
support the new movement "for the
total emancipation of the working
class"
"The national conference of the
Workers Force renews it's demand
for the independence of the labor
movement with regard to all politi-
cal parties and all governments of
no matter what tendency" a state
ment said.
The minority charged that the
CGT majority, "for reasons foreign
to syndicalism, did not hesitate to
hurl the working class into an ad-
venture which could only destroy
syndical unity" during the recent
strike movement,

JERUSALEM, Dec. 19.-Ten
Arabs, including S children, were
reported killed and S others were
injured by bombs and gunfire
last night in a Jewish attack on
the village OF Khisas, in Upper
Galilee.
An official report said two cars of
Jews drove into the village in dark
ness, threw number of bombs and
opened fire. Two houses were de-
stroyed.
A police patrol found seven bodies
in the ruins of one of the houses and
three in the other.
Two Syrians and two Lebanese
Arabs were listed among the cas-
ualties.
Hagana Made Attack.
Jewish sources said Hagana, the
Jewish underground militia, made
the attack because the village was
being used as a hideout for infil-
trating volunteers of FawI Kaukji's
Arab Save Palestine" Army. Arab
sources have said this army was
moving 1000 guerrilla fighters to
join Palestine Arab forces near
Nablus.
The village of Khisas is only 2
miles from the point where the
Palestine, Syrian and Lebanese bor-
ders meet. It is near the route be-
tween Jerusalem and Damascus

ported training for the fight against

Knutson Tax Cut Bill
Facing Prospect Of
Presidential Veto
Truman Renews Stand
Against Reduction in
Income Levies Now
BY the Associated Press

Another White House road
block hove into sight today for
the Republican attempt to slash
taxes $500, 100000 year.
Assertions by Chairman Knutson
of the House Ways and Means Com
mittee that his bill is veto proof
were in sharp contrast to a renewal
OF President Truman's stand against
any tax reduction now.
The implication was obvious that
the tax measure might meet the
same fate as two others passed at
the last regular session of Congress.
Mr.. Truman vetoed both of them.
He said then that debt deduction
must come first and anyway the
bills gave too much of the tax relief
to the wealthy.
Relief in Lower Brackets.
Mr.. Knutson apparently based his
"veto-proof" label for the new YER
sion on the contention that it would
give II per cent of the total tax
reduction to persons with taxable
incomes under $4,000 and only %
per cent to those making more.
But at the Presidents news con-
ference yesterday, reporter asked
whether reports that the Govern
ment will have a $1,000, 900 900 sur
plus for the current fiscal year end
ing June 80 would justify a tax cut.
Mr.. Truman said no.
The President refused, however,
to say definitely whether he would
oppose any tax cut next year. He
said his State OF the Union mes
sage to Congress next month will
