Korea Election Plea
Rejected by Gen. Dean
By the Assoeiotsd Press

SEOUL, Nov. 28.-Maj. Gen. Will
liam F. Dean, military governor of
American-occupied South Korea,
said today he had refused request
by Rightist political groups for an
immediate election of Korean
government in the southern zone.
Gen. Dean said in press state
ment that If Rightists carried out
threats to hold an election on their
own initiative, the military govern
ment would take necessary steps
to prevent it," The nature of the
steps, he said, would depend upon
the situation"
The American told a group oi
rightists who asked for an election
before December 81 that none would
be held prior to receipt of direc-
tives from the United Nations Com
mission" designated to conduct an
election in both the south and Rus
sian-occupied North Korea before
March 81.
Russia has announced 1t will boy
colt the U. N. plan for establishing
Korean government through q
general election. Some American
officials have interpreted this tc
mean the commission will be refused
admission to North Korea, leaving
creation of a separate state of South
Korea for the only other course,
Gen. Dean told a news conference
an election in South Korea would
"be very serious for the Korean
electorate" He said it would throw
things in favor OF communism
because 1t would create confusion
and violate law and order"

10 Push Food Saving
As Cold Spurs Need

Washington residents were urged
today to intensity their efforts at

The appeal came from James E.

Mr.. Collifiower stressed that the
resignation of Charles Luckman as
national chairman of the Citizens
Food Committee and the shift of
authority for the program to the
Agriculture Department will not
affect the work Of the local COM
mittee.
"In fact" Mr.. Colliflower stated
I'VE must intensity our efforts now

the needs overseas become greater ~
He said the overall goal is still
the saving of 100,00O,0OO bushels OF
grain for starving people and added

Congress Asked 10 Cut
70 Million Low-paid
Workers Off Tax Roll
BY the Assoeioied Press

Removal of 100000 persons
in the lower income brackets
from the Federal income tax
rolls and imposition of a 10 per
cent manufacturers excise tax
to make up part of the revenue
loss has been proposed by Rep
resentative Gearhart, Repub-
lican, of California.
The Californian, a member Of the
tax-wrMing House Ways and Means
Committee, told newsmen yesterday
the plan would be of greatest ben
eft to the poor man" and that 81
per cent of 10000 business executives
polled had approved it.
Here's the kind of tax law Mr..
Gearhart wants:
l. Raise the exemption of single
persons from the present $500 to
$1,000 and of married men from $500
to $4,000. with the exemption for
each of the taxpayers dependents
remaining at $500. Then cut back
the tax rate so that the top take
from any taxable income would be
so per cent. instead of the present 86
per cent on the highest bracket in
come. This would cut revenues by
$1,000 100000, he estimated.
2. Impose 10 per cent manufac-
turers' excise levy, the tax to apply
as any product leaves the manufac-
turer to 60 into commerce. Food
and shelter would be exempted. Mr..
Gearhart said this would pick up
$6,700, 100000 of revenue.
Sees 3 Billion Overall Loss.
Thus the overall revenue loss
would be about S3,O0O,OOO, OF
the 48,5O0,000 income taxpayers, 49,
100000 would remain on the rolls
with their rate of taxation reduced.
Mr.. Gearhart said a Nationwide
association is being formed to sup
port his tax idea.
He disclosed he will offer his plan
In the Ways and Means Committee
as a substitute for a bill by Chair
man Knutson to cut individual in
come taxes by $4,000, 100000.
There was no indication now that
Mr.. Gearhart's broad proposal will
be adopted, but Republican leaders
appear to be leaning toward a re-
vision of Mr.. Knutson's proposal
to raise personal exemptions from
$500 to 5000, thereby taking 100000
taxpayers off the rolls.
Plans Community PrOperty Clause
Moreover, Mr.. Knutson himself
has said his new bill, to be offered
about December Is, will embody
general application Of the commu-
nifty property principle under which
husbands and wives can split the
family income equally for tax re-
porting purposes. This principle, al
ready applicable in 13 States by
local law, puts the family income
into lower tax brackets, usually re-
sulting in savings.
Mr.. Knutson's two bills calling
for $4,000 100000 tax slashes, vetoed
earlier in the year by President
Truman, proposed percentage cuts
to all the 48,500000 taxpayers, with
out removing any from the rolls
Mr.. Truman said the bills gave
greatest benefits to persons with
high income and least relief to low
income taxpayers. BY writing In an
increase In exemptions some Repub-
licans apparently hope to make
the third tax-cutting bill veto
proof.
