Taft Calls for Action
On Tax Cut Before
Budget Agreements
BY the Associated Press

senator taIt, Republlcan OF Ohlo,
sparked drive yesterday to speed
Senate action on the House-ap-
proved bill to cut income taxes
despite almost solid Democratic and
some Republican sentiment for
delay.
Senator Taft told a reporter he
disagrees with the plan of Chairman
Millikin of the Senate Finance
Committee to delay hearings until
the Senate and House agree on the
amount they intend to cut of Presi-
dent Truman's budget.
Senator Taft indicated he may
ask the Republican Policy Commit
tee, of which he is chairman, to
pass on the matter.
II think the hearings should be
started soon," he said. Il don't
believe the matter of tax reductions
should be delayed. We can con-
slider both tax and budget reductions
at the same time"
Budget Matter First.
Millikin said in an interview,
however, he has no plans to call the
committee together to set a date for
hearings. He has not changed his
mind, he added, that the budget
matter ought to be disposed of first.
Democrats on the committee have
indicated they will oppose any early
action on the tax cut.
With to 6 division among the
Republicans and the. mi
nority Democrats, Senator Millikin's
vote probably would be controlling
on committee action. But it seemed
doubtful that he would move against
the wishes of the policy committee
if. it supports Senator Taft's stand
Senator BrewsteB Republicanfso of
Maine, a member of the finance
group, said he agrees with Senator
Taft that the Senate ought to 60
ahead now. He supported Senator
Taft's stand that any reductions
should become effective July /, in
stead of being retroactive to January
!, as the House ordered.
( House Sought Trading Position.
II think the House lacked up the
amount Of its reductions somewhat
in order to be. in a good trading
position with the Senate" Senator
Brewster told a reporter. "I would
favor graduated reductions of 20
per cent in the lowest bracket, Is
per cent for the middle group and
10 per cent for the high group"
The bill as it passed the House
would cut taxes 80 per cent on tax
able incomes of $1,000 or less and
20 per cent on virtually all others.
Senator Hawkes., Republican, OF
New Jersey, another committee
member, also supported Senator
Taft's go-ahead plan.
II think we ought to proceed to
make any tax cut that we find pos
sible within the savings that can
be made in expenditures under re-
ceipts," he said.
Meanwhile, Representative Rogers
Democrat, of Florida, proposed spe-
cial income tax concessions for
World War II veterans who collect
no benefits under the so-called CT
Bill of Rights. He told newsruen
he is obtaining figures on the effect
Of granting an additional $500 in
come tax exemption for g. certain
number of years to veterans who
waive their benefits.

Drunk Driving Cases
Increasing in District,
keneipp Reports

/ Drunken driving is increasing in
Washington, according to George
E. Keneipp, District Director of We
hicles and Traffic.
He bases his statement on the
numbe. of revocations and suspen-
sior1s of drivers permits for the
first two months Of this year. There
was 40 per cent increase during
January and February over the
corresponding period of last year,
he said.
/ Mr.. Keneipp's check with police
authorities showed that in the same
period this year there was an in
crease Of "A per cent in the num-
Der of drunken driving arrests. Mr.
Keneipp pointed out, however, that
the number of arrests in a certain
period do not correctly reflect the
number of suspensions and revoca-
tions in the same time. An interval
always elapses before action is tax
en- by the Board of Revelations,
due to trials in court and other
technicalities.
Too Serious for Laxity.
Operating a motor vehicle is too
serious business to allow laxity in
the control of driving privileges,
Mr.. Keneipp said. This is especial
ly true in the case of a drinking
driver, because by his insistence
upon driving, he jeopardizes not
only his own safety in traffic, but
threatens the safety of others on
the road.
TT may be perfectly true that
some persons are physically able to
toss off three or four drinks in Is
minutes and still handle an auto
better than some who never drink.
But it is ridiculous to assume that
drinking and driving mix when sol
much evidence is available to the
contrary.
I'm two short months, SO motorists
in the District have forfeited their
right to drive because of operating a
car under the influence of liquor.
A year ago in the same period 40
persons lost their permits for the
same reasons.
Unfortunately, the exact part
drinking plays in traffic accidents is
hard to discover. In 1916, records
showed I'll accidents were definitely
due to drinking drivers. Two deaths
resulted. But when accidents run
into the thousands and deaths ap-
proach the hundred mark, this toll
does not seem impressive.
Expects More Revelations.
"Yet, the careful observer will ap-
preciate that other drivers, convicted
on charges of reckless driving, may
have had their driving behavior in
huenced by drink. Unless the driver
is clearly seen to be under the in
f1uence of liquor, the accident is
often chalked up to some other rea-
son than drinking.
"The law demands that no in
dividual shall, while under the in
fluence of any Intoxicating liquor,
operate any motor vehicle in the
District. If a motorist violates this
provision and is convicted, he is sub
ject to fine, imprisonment or both.
And upon conviction the clerk of
the court, shall certify forthwith
such conviction to the designated
agent of the Commissioners, who
shall thereupon revoke the opera
tors permit of such individuals
With the adoption of the use of
chemical tests for intoxication, Mr..
Kereipp believes that the number
of convictions and revocations for
drunken driving in the District will
increase. 80.

Propaganda Impairs
Full Press Freedom,
Kent Cooper Says
BY the Associoted Press

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Mar. 90
Kent Cooper, executive director of
the Associated Press, declared to-
night that worldwide freedom Of
the press "can be won fully only
when international propaganda is
thrown into the discard"
Mr.. Cooper reviewed the fight Of
the American press for freedom Of
the press clause in international
agreements and said the first victory
was its inclusion last month in the
Italian treaty. He added:
yet I solemnly declare that it Is
the bounden duty of the American
press not only to keep it there but
to make certain that the whole pub
lie information business is not
thrown into chaotic confusion by the
continuance of the nefarious practice
Of Government propaganda"
Prerequisite to Peace.
Addressing the Associated Dailies
of Florida and the Florida Associ-
ated Press Association, he said:
The battle to keep information
channels clean and to maintain the
truth in news can be won fully only
when international propaganda is
thrown into the discard so nations
can begin to live in peace with each
other without abrasive international
propaganda doing its destructive
work.
And I hope to see our own coun-
try, which was the last to get into
it, now become the first to give
it up"
Mr.. Cooper said the freedom of
press" clause in the italian treaty
was the first in history. Similar
clauses, he added, are in treaties
with Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria
and Finland.
Recalls Versailles Treaties.
Mr.. Cooper reviewed his efforts at
Versailles in 1919 for guarantees of
press freedom and prohibitions
against biased international propa-
ganda in the peace treaties.
Il made both suggestions to
member of the American delegation.
who thought them interesting, but
told me later he could get nothing
DONE" Mr.. Cooper said.
He added that in 1943 he urged
the American press-"the strongest
newspaper force ever developed in
any nation"-to Crusade to prove to
all the world that free press is
a heritage of the people and that
with it the people can maintain
their freedom"
