Spain Cabinet Chance
Seen After Vote Today
By the Associated Press

MADRID, July Overwhelming
approval of Generalissimo Francisco
Frances Law of Succession" ap-
peared certain tonight as Spain pre-
pared for tomorroW's referendum
and there were rumors that with
such a vote of confidence" a cabi-
net shape-up would follow.
Gen. Franco repeatedly was con-
sidering appointing a prime minis
ter, move which would permit him
to devote his full time to the post
of chief of state.
1t was predicted that the result
of tomorrow's balloting, Spain's first
election in II years, would find IS
to 80 per cent voting yes Is per
cent abstaining and 10 per cent
voting no"
Semi-official sources predict that
approximately go per cent of the 49,
1902 eligible voters will vote.
Anti-Franco forces were under or
ders to remain away from the polls
or cast blank ballots. Leading the
opposition were the monarchist Or
ganiZations, the National Confeder-
alton of Labor and the General
Union of Workers, but without ben
eft OF the freedoms of speech, press
and assembly they had to wage a
clandestine campaign.
The effectiveness of their. opposi-
ton probably will not be known
until July 26 when the nationwide
results are announced.

A revival of scientific training

urged today by the Atomic Energy
Commissions medical board of re-

The board of seven distinguished
medical scientists emphasized that
talented newcomers must be drawn
into the field if the United States is
to retain leadership in the control
of atomic energy.
The present short supply of quail

cial death bed" ceremony.
The ceremony, performed Thurs
day in Carols luxurious suite at the
Hotel Copacabana, was requested by
Nine. Lupescu under a Brazilian
law which permits marriage to dy-
ing persons. There were some
doubts, however, as to the legality
of the action.
News of the ceremony was given
out by Nine. Ernesto Udreanu, wife
of Carols secretary. She said Nine.
Lupescu was seriously i'll.
Two physicians were reported at
tending Nine. Lupescu. She had

To 10 Austrian Kidnapings
Nv the Associoted Press

VIENNA, July 5.-Interior Min
lister Oskar Helmer has charged
that Russian occupation troops were
involved in 10 kidnapping cases in
Austria in the past six weeks.
Under present conditions, ne told
Parliament yesterday, the Austrian
police are powerless to stop the kid
naping, since Investigations are
limited by regulations imposed by
the occupying powers.
Terming the charges malicious
lies" the Communist Party news
paper Volksstimme said today that
British and American occupation
authorities were operating "concen-
tration camps" with the full knowl-
edge of the Austrian government.
Meanwhile, other official Austrian
sources estimated that the actual
number of kidnapings was at least
80 and possibly more.
Mr.. Helmer said most of the kid
napings had taken place in the
Russian zone of Vienna and that in
most cases the automobiles used or
the uniforms CT the men involved
were Russian.

Three Washington owning and
managing groups will request
Congress to relax the District
rent control law to permit a Is
per cent voluntary increase in
house and apartment rents and
the complete decontrol of hotel
rates, it was learned last night.
The Washington Hotel Associa-
ton, Washington Real Estate Board
and Building Owning and Managers
Association have asked a Senate
District subcommittee for an oppor-
tunity to present arguments favor
ing amendment of the District rent
law to bring 1t into conformity with
the new National Rent Act.
A House passed bill extending
District rent control without change
to March 81, 1948, is now in charge
of a Senate District subcommittee
composed of Senators Buck, Repub-
lican, of Delaware; Cain, Republi-
can, of Washington, and Umstead
Democrat, of North Carolina.
Hearing Yet to Be Scheduled.
A committee source indicated
there had been no decision as yet
as to whether hearing on District
rent control extension would be
scheduled this week.
The National Rent Act recently
signed by President Truman de-
controls hotels and new housing ano
converted apartments completed
after February /, this year, except
in certain cases, and permits Is pei

A spokesman for the Washington
Hotel Association said its president
Frank E. Wheatley, president Of
Washington Properties, Inc, which
owns the Wardman Park Hotel

to be heard.

Senate Group Plans
To Study Duplication
In Revenue Sources
Passage Of New Tax Bill
To Be Pushed in Both
Houses This Week
By J. A. O'Leoy

While congressional leaders
prepared to push the January l
income tax cuts through both
houses this week, a Senate COM
mittee made plans yesterday to
study duplication in the tax
sources of Federal, State and city
governments.
Chairman Aiken of the Senate Ex-
penditures Committee named Sen
ators Bricker, Republican, of Ohio
and O'Conor, Democrat, of Mary
land, to go to the Governors Con-
ference in Salt Lake City July 13 to
consult the State Executives on the
duplication problem.
Senators Bricker and O'Conor are
former governors, and the Mary
lander is author of a pending reso-
luton to set up a commission to GO
thoroughly into overlapping levies in
Federal, State and city revenue
laws.
Predicts No Veto.
Meanwhile, Chairman Knutson of
the House Ways and, Means Com
mittee predicted that President Tru-
man will not veto the new bill to
cut taxes $4,000, 1000, 900. He said the
Republicans have met the Presi-
dent more than half way
His forecast came as opposing
sides on the committee issued re-
ports defending and condemning the
revived bill.
The majority contended the budg-
ct outlook amply justifies' the tax
cuts, ranging from 80 per cent in
the low-income brackets to 10.5 per
cent at the top. They declared that
the cuts will cost the Treasury only
81 500 900 0C0 for the current fiscal
year because they will be in effect

Expenses Involved

The Districts Two biggest Oils
Of this Congress-raising $12,-
100000 in new revenue and ap-
propriating for a record-break-
ing budget-are headed for de-
cisive action this week.
The long-pending attempt by both
Congress and District officials to
bring anticipated revenues up to the
cash needs for this city in the cur
rent fiscal year, are expected to be
solved, in principle at least, before
next week end.
The revenue bill still is in confer
ence between the House and Senate,
but is expected to be ironed out for
approval by both chambers. The
House will act first, probably Tues
day, ard send the measure to the
Senate.
The appropriation bill, carrying
S96,O00,oO0 for this year, is to be
reported by the Horan subcommittee
to the full House Appropriations
Committee Tuesday morning and to
the House later in the day.
Supply Bill May Gain Day.
House leaders have scheduled the
District supply bill for consideration
Wednesday. One District leader
said last night, however, some
thought was being given to the idea
of calling up the measure for i'm
mediate consideration when 1t is
reported Tuesday. This would be in
line with the speed urged on Con-
gress as it faces the end of its first
session, anticipated by July 26.
When the supply bill gets to the
Senate, it will go to the District
subcommittee of the Senate Ap-
preparations Committee which plans
brief hearings on any controversial
items.
Conferees on the omnibus tax
raising bill will meet tomorrow aft
ernoon to iron out differences be-
tween the House and Senate on the
income tax provision OF the measure

only remaining controversy, the

that revenues will cover expenses

By the Assoeiofed Press

LONDON, July 5.-Britain and
France tonight rushed prepara-
tions for the July IL conference
on the Marshall plan amid grow
ing indications that at least
some of the Eastern European
countries would follow Russia S
lead and boycott the Paris meet
ing.
AS acceptancesg of the invitation
trickled in from some of the % in
vited nations, British Foreign Of
flee spokesman said French Foreign
Minister Bidault would come to
London next week to discuss plans
with Foreign Secretary Bevin.
Up to tonight II countries had
either accepted bids to the confer
ence or had been represented by au-
thoritative sources as likely to ac-
cept. The list included italy, Port
ugal, Greece, Turkey, Fire, Belgium,
Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Iceland
and the Netherlands.
While high sources in the three
Scandinavian countries and Iceland
had expressed the belief that they
undoubtedly would attend the meet
ing, their final decision had not yet
been announced.
RED Fringe" Countries Silent.
The foreign ministers of Norway,
Denmark and Sweden were expected
to meet early next week to try to
work out common stand. The
cabinet of Iceland was expected to
reach its decision at a meeting
either tomorrow or Monday.
No official word had come from
Austria. Switzerland and Luxem-
bourg or from any of the eight
Red Fringe" countries of Eastern
Europe.
Some indication of the feeling in
the Eastern European bloc came
from the Communist press in Hun
gary, Romania and Bulgaria which
usually reflects government views.
The Budapest Communist news
paper Szabad Nep said in it's lead
/ ing editorial that acceptance of the
invitation by Hungary would be con-
sidered hostile" to the Soviet Union.
In Bucharest, the Socialist newspa-
per Populul echoed Communist edi-
torial statements that "it is not nee
essary to participate.
Polish government sources said
Poland's decision would be made
after Premier Josef Cyrankiewicz
and Foreign Minister Zygmunt Mod
zelewski arrived back in Warsaw
from their visit to Prague.
Czechs Consult Moscow.
Czechoslovakia's answer was held
up by consultations with Moscow.
Communist Premier Klement Gott-
wald and Foreign Minister Jan Ma
saryk left today for the Soviet capi-
tai, presumably to confer with For
eign Minister Molotov and perhaps
with Premier Stain.
There was no word at all from
Finland, Albania and Yugoslavia.
Meanwhile, the British Foreign
Office, emphasizing again that the
door to Soviet participation had not
been closed, said Britain had sent
a message to Russia expressing the
hope that her decision to stay out
of the Marshall plan talks was mot
final" France already had sent a
note expressing similar hopes.
