COP OK's Excise Tax Continuance
(By Francis M. LeMay)

WASHINGTON, (P) - Republi- can tax managers gave a green light today to legislation continu- ing indefinitely the high wartime excise rates on such things as li- quors, furs and jeWelry.
 The surprise decision to head off an automatic $l,5OO,OOO roll-back in levieS July l brought COP lawmakers and President Truman eye to eye on the first major tax problem to confront the 80th Con- gress.
 But Republicans expressed re- neWed determination to cut indi- vidual income taxes 20 per cent a move strongly opposed by the President.
 Chairman Knutson R.-Minno, said the House ways and means committee may approve bill con tinuing the high excises at its first meeting on Friday. Such a quick step, he said, would erase business uncertainty caused by consumers delaying purchases in anticipa- ton of the otherwise automatic reductions six months hence.
 Moreover, he told newsmen, the continued large collection of excise revenues would make it easy for the Republicans to slash individ- ual income taxes by fifth this year, at a total estimated saving to income earners of $3,350, ,00O ,OOO.
 If Chairman Taber R.-N.Yo, of the House appropriations commit tee is correct in declaring that the budget can be held down." knut- son said, then: "A 20 per cent tax reduction will be comparatively easy, and we should be able to pay four of five billions on the public debt" Taber's latest estlm- ate is that "three to four billions can be pared from the Presidents S37, 1928, 8,O00,000 spending figure.

Sympathy Strikes Spread In London

LONDON, (P)-More than 2.OOO Thames lightermen and thousands of StevedOreS and dockers quit work today in sympathy walkouts, swelling to 40,000 or more the number of persons idle in Lon don's mushrooming lO-day-old transport strike.
 The new work Stoppages, pro- testing the use of troops to replace striking truck drivers for delivery of food, came as negotiatorS hoped for an early settlement of the truck dispute, cruX of an "unoffi- cial" strike which some lobar par tisans feared might upset the La Dor government.
 Union leaders appealed to the dock workers at a meeting this morning to return to their jobs, but their speeches, citing the strik- ing truckers advice against fur ther sympathy WalkOutS, were shouted down.
 Strike leader J. E. EvaNs, in a message to the 30,000 strikers, said he hoped some concrete propos- alS" would develop in union nego- tiations today and the Daily Her aid, labor organ, said in a bold headline: Strike Call-Off Likely Today" At least 10000 other union members-protesting use of troops to deliver food supplies to London shops-prepared to join the Walkout if the new confer ences fail. The truck drivers want a 44-hour work week intsead of 48 hours, two-Week paid vacations and overtime pay instead of time off.
 The public, which already has missed most of one weeks meat ration because of the strike, placed its hope for settlement in a new government-sponsored joint indus trial council of transport workers and employers empowered to re- consider the strikers demands.
 "A Labor government cannot last alongside a discredited trade union movement" O'Brien, Labor member of Parliament, declared. "The workers of Britain cannot have a Labor government and re- pudiate trade union organizations and their leaders at the same time"

Introduced Sports Legislation

bert D.-LaD, introduced legiSla ton today setting out heavy penal ties for attempts to bribe athletes and sports officials, asserting that "Sports is big business and the public must be protected from the fixers, the chiSelers and the graft CTS"
 Herbert said in a statement his action stemmed from the recent professional football scandal in Volving Alvin Paris for allegedly attempting to bribe Frankie Fil- chock and Merle Hapes of the New York Giants"
 Paris was convicted in New York last week on the bribery charge. National league commits sioner Bert Bell now is studying the future status of Filchock and HapeS in professional football, al though both have been paid their full cut from the league champion ship game.
 Herbert introduced a second measure covering only the district of Columbia, bill patterned after the New York Statutee under which Paris was prosecuted.
 But his federal legislation-the first, he said, of its kind ever pre- Sented-is based on the premise that athletes and athletic teams come under the jurisdiction of the federal government just as do in terstate carriers, corporations and trade unions"
 The fedeal statute covering in terstate athletic contests would carry a penalty of up to ten years Imprisonment and a $l0,000 fine. The District of Columbia measure would fix the maximum penalty at five years imprisonment and a fine of $l,00O.
 NEW YORK, (P)-An eruption of legislative bills against the at tempts of professional gamblers to rig sporting events has taken place in numerous laWmaking bodies l throughout the nation.
 In Albany, a resolution was brought before the legislature yes terday calling for a full investiga- tion into gambling, fixing of games and other interruptions practices in both amateur and professional sports.
 The New Jersey Legislature re- ceived bill that would impose Se- were penalties on anyone convict ed of bribing players to throw athletic games.
 Similar legislation has been pre- Sented in at least a half dozen other states, survey by the (Eo) disclosed. The survey showed that Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Col orado, Rhode Island, Indiana, Ohio, Virginia and Florida have been asked to pass anti-bribe laws similar to those already in effect in Illinois, Michigan, California, Maryland, New Jersey and New

FAN FARE

When putting an electric fan away
for the winter, be sure to protect it
against dust. A paper dress bag tied
around the fan makes a good cover,
or even a newspaper.
Be sure also that you choose a dry
place for the fans winter quarters
so that metal parts will not rust dur
ing the months to come. This does
not always mean the attic, the spe-
cialists say, because in well-insulated
attics moisture sometimes condenses
in winter.
No harm will come to the motor
from storing in a cold place because
the motor will have ample oppor-
tunity to warm up next year before
it goes into use, but the fan should
not be stored in a hot place-too near
the furnace, for example, or on a
