execution of conceptions that are
little; others, who can form great
conceptions, attempt to carry them
into execution with little means.
These two descriptions of men

make a preliminary visit te
Shanghai Saturday to talk with
American businessmen who have
been sharply critical Of Chinese

A formal statement said the

gram Of intensive study"
It appeared here that former
Premier T. v. Soong was taking an
important part in Gen. Wedemeyer's S
investigation, on which likely will
depend American policy toward
China. Informed sources said Mr..
Soong was believed acting as un-

Meanwhile, Provincial governors
from all parts of China headed for

sy the Asseciotsd Press

Removal of 100000 low-income
persons from the tax rolls and a
total cut of So, ,7oo, 900, 900 in personal
income levies was proposed in a bill
introduced today by Representative
CFsrhart. Republican, of California.
To make up part of the revenue
loss. the legislation calls for 10 per
cent manufacturers excise tax.
The proposed new levy. Mr.. Gear
hart said, would apply to the manu-
facturers' selling prices of fully
processed goods, with food and
shelter items exempted. He esti-
mated such levy would yield
revenues of $500, ,000, 600,
The Californian said he does not
expect the measure to be considered
until Congress returns in January.
"A ceiling of so per cent on the rate
any income might be taxed would be
set by the bill. The highest incomes
now are taxed as high as 86.5 per
cent.

move 10000, 900 of the $4,000, 600 tax

Vote in House Slated
Today on Extension
0fWooI Price Support
by the Asseeiatsd Press

The House expected to vote today
on measure extending Govern
mentAsupport prices for domestic
wool producers until the end of next
year.
: Chairman Hope OF the House
Agriculture Committee told reporters
the bill probably would be called
up for action before nightfa1l and
predicted Its passage but "only after
"a hght.". The Senate has passed q
similar BILL.
The action. will come as last
round In q controversy which
brought q Presidential veto Of a
previous measure, extending the
price support program but authoriz-
ing the chief executive to boost
wool tariffs or fix quotas if imports
interfered with domestic prices.
The Senate leadership decided
against attempting to override that
veto-presented with Mr.. Truman's S
protest that the measure would be
interpreted abroad as 4 retreat to
economic iSodationism at a time
when the United States is attempt
ing to lower trade barriers. IT,
Since then, the House has been
marking time in the hope that the
issue would be clarified-one way
or the other-by a decision at the
Geneva Trade Conference where
Australia and New Zealand have
sought American wool tariff con-
cessionS.
An attempt by House Leader
Halleck Of Indiana to obtain COM
mitment from Secretary of State
Marshall on, the question proved
unsuccessful. {,
Mr. Marshall replied, in effect,
that he couldn't say what = the
United States position would be,
that tariff reductions generally
mean mutual concessions, and that
silence had to be preserved to MAIN
tain a bargaining position.
