Degaulists represented.
Guy Mollet, secretary general OF
the Socialist Party, said yesterday
that Mr.. Blum had consented to
succeed Mr.. Ramadier, another So

Will President
Veto Or Approve
J Income Tax Bill?
tny The Associated Pres.)

WASHINGTON, May 20. -
Will President Truman approve
or veto the income tax bill?
That is the question that is re-
ceiving greater interest than
any other in official circles.
It is known that the President
was not in favor of tax reduc-
ton at this time, but no hint has
been disclosed as to whether or
not he will veto the measure as
it will come to him after senate
and house conferees come to an
agreement regarding the differ
ences in the bills.
Chief difference is that the
house bill makes the reduction
retroactive to January of this
year. while the senate bill sets
the date of reduction as of July
l, l947.
The conferees. it was said, will
come to an agreement in time to
present the bill to the White
House by next Tuesday or
Wednesday. It was said further
that the July date probably will
be agreed to by the house con-
ferees.
