"VetO Proof" Income Tax Slash Bill Introduced
(By Francis M. LeMay)

WASHINGTON, (P)-A $5,6O0,- 0O0,O00 income tax cutting bill which would strike 100000 low income and elderly persons from the tax rolls was introduced yes terday by Rep. Knutson R.-MinnD
 For the 47,OOO,O0O other taXpay- CTS the measure, referred to by it's author as "veto proof" proposes tax reductions ranging from 58 per cent in the lowest bracket to 10 per cent on higher incomes.
 Knutson, chairman of the tax writing House ways and means committee, said he expects the bill to be the first major business when Congress reconvenes in Jan uary. The reductions would be retroactive to January 1.
 They would slash tax revenues by $1,60O,OOO,OOO more than the $4,OOO,000,O00 Knutson measure which President Truman twice killed with vetoes earlier this year.
 Here is what the new bill would do:
 1. Increase the present $500 per sonal exemption to $500, thus free ing 6,000,000 low income persons from tax paying and providing some reductions for all other tax payers. This would reduce reven- ues by about $2,OOO, ,OOO, ,OOO.
 2. Apply the community prop

Many Ships Damaged In Pacific Storms

HONOLULU (P)-Fresh storms brewed today in the Pacific, where of five ships in distress yesterday at least three were safe or headed for a haven.
 Uncertainty centered about the army tanker Fl Caney and the steamship Middlesex Victory, the latter the latest to radio news of trouble.
 The 10,172-ton Fl Caney with AZ aboard reported from south of the Aleutians, where it lost a rudder in high seas earlier this week, that it was encountering winds of hur- ricane force, 70 to 75 miles an hour.
 A message to the port of em- barkation at Seattle said seas were running high but the navy salvage ship Bolster and a standby vessel were somewhere in the vicinity"
 Only yesterday the ship had re- ported the weather was moderat- ing and the Bolster was preparing to tow it to Pearl Harbor. The Ha- waiian sea frontier had no new re- ports from the Fl Caney since.
 Westward, 300 miles off the Kuriles, the 7,6O6 ton Middlesex Victory reported it had 16 cracks in its deck plates from the week of storms and its fore peak was flooded
 A message picked up by the 17th naval district headquarters at Ko- diak said the vessel was approach ing Japan. The Middlesex Victory sails from Portland. The number aboard was not reported.

 Police said the Jews bullet rid dled body was found near St. Ste phen's gate several hours after his capture. A short time later a l6- year-old Arab boy was shot to death in the same area by aSsail- ants officially listed as "un- known"
 These deaths brought to 266 the toll of fatalities in the Holy Land since JeWish-Arab strife broke out there IT days ago following the United Nations decision to parti- ton Palestine.
 A new Arab threat to wage a war to the finish against the par tition plan darkened the shadows lying over Palestine on the eve of the Christmas season.
 The Arab League proclaimed in Cairo Wednesday night, at the close of a long conference of lead CTS of the seven Arab states, its in tention to fight to the end against the United Nations decision to split the Holy Land into separate Arab and Jewish states.
 "As passions and selfish inter ests have prevailed in the United Nations and closed the doors of right and justice in the face of the ArabS," the proclamation said, "they are determined to enter the battle into which they are forced and will carry it to its victorious
