Immigrant Jews Battle British

JERUSALEM, (P-Some 4,500 angry Jewish immigrants aboard a refugee ship used tear gas, smoke bombs, steam jets and other weapons today in a vain battle against a 50-man British boarding party off the Palestine coast, Brit ish authorities announced.
 Five British destroyers escorted the vessel toward Haifa, where the refugees will be transhipped to troopships for transfer to de- tention camps in Cyprus.
 The announcement said no fa- talities were suffered by either side, but that three members of the boarding party were injured,
 The British announcement said small arms fire was used by one of his Majesty's ships against one man who was threatening to de- capitate one of the boarding party with an axe, and against another man who was about to use a rifle"
 'It is believed the fire missed in both cases, but it was effective: the two men took fright and drop ped their weapons" the announce ment said.
 The refugee ship was identified as a former American vessel, the President WarfielG. Renamed by the immigrant Exodus, 1947.

Dewey Favors New Labor Law
tBY Henry Leader)

ENROUTE WITH DEWEY (P) Thomas E. Dewey was quoted by a group of young Republicans to- day as having told them he fa- Vored the controversial Taft-Hart- ley labor law.
 The New York governor declined to confirm or deny the report.
 The young Republicans said the New York governor told them yes terday that he favored the law and that he predicted within a year it's operation would demon strate it is not so bad as depicted by it's foes.
 At the same time it was learned that a delegation of l9 Republi- cans from Washington State will urge Dewey to take Eric Johnston of Spokane as his vice presiden- tial running mate if he wins the 1948 Republican presid { i nomination.
 Dewey, en route to West Vel lOWstOne, Mont, with his wife and two sons to combine week s sightseeing of national parks with political huddles with COP lead CTS of Montana, Idaho and Wyo- ming, declined to confirm or deny the report of the young Republi- cans. There was no doubt in in formed quarters, however, that he had endorsed the Taft-Hartley act
 The disclosure came as a .sur- prise, for shortly after leaving Al bany July 4 on the first lap of his four-Week western junket, Dewey was asked for comment on enact ment of the law and said, II don't intend to lecture Congress from afar."

House Overrides Trunan's Veto Of Income Tax Bill

w A 5 II N C. TON, (4) - The House voted today to override President Truman's second veto of the Republican-backed S4,OOO,- 000,00O tax cut. But indications are that the Senate may sustain the President and thus kill the bill.
 Chairman Taft R.-Ohio) told reporters the Republican policy policy committee will press for vote later today on the veto.
 A powerful Republican-Demo- crat coalition rolled up in the House the more than two-thirds majority necessary to overthrow the veto.
 The House roll call showed a substantial shift of Democrats in support of the measure, which provides for tax reduction effec- tive Jan. l, 1948. The chamber previously had voted 268 to 137- two short of the required two thirds-to sustain MT. Truman's veto of the first bill which would have made the cuts effective last July l.
 Just as he did in vetoing the first bill, MT. Truman again said the tax legislation provides the wrong kind of tax reduction at the wrong time"
 If -1e Senate should upset pre- dictiOns and vote to override, the bill will provide cuts ranging from 30 per cent in the lowest taxable incomes to 1O.5 per cent on incomes over $302,OOO.
 Republicans virtually conceded the Senate will pitch the new measure in the scrap heap. The chamber voted 60 to 32 to pass the bill-two votes short of tWO-thirds majority that will be required to make the bill a law and override President Truman's veto.
 COP leaders say failure of the Senate to override will erase all prospects of relief for 49,0O0,000 income taxpayers next year. They promised to throw the tax issue into the 1948 Presidential cam paign.
 MT. Truman said in his veto message that when the time comes to lessen the wartime tax burden it should be reduced lon a basis that is fair to low income groups as well as to high income groups"
 He did not specify when he thought the time would be ripe for cutting taxes, but added:

Alaska Broke: Tries To Find More Revenue

1Ile lcIlIIOl Idl SONSl lliliCIil IT. nancial condition took the brunt of another backhand comment to- day when Robert Ellis, Ketchikan mayor and chairman of the Alaska World War II veterans board, called upon board members to re- fuse a request that the group re- pay the territorial general fund S350,000 advanced last year to fi- nance a revolving fund for Veter- ans loans and bonuses.
 ''I see no reason why veterans should be asked 10 bail out other departments from the predicament the legislature left them in" Ellis said.
 The request was sent the veter- an group by Atty. Gen. Ralph Rivers, acting for the Alaska board of administration, follow ing an emergency meeting of the board called because of AlaSka's serious financial situation which found the general fund with only S9,OOO after June commitments were met.
 Meanwhile. commenting on the territorial fiasco. Victor C. Rivers chairman of the Senate commit ice on taxation and revenue. to- day denounced legislators who failed 10 endorse a fax program which would allow the territory sufficient operating revenues.
 Tn the last session, working with the tax commissioner, attOr- ney general, treasurer and other competent officials" Rivers said in special interview with the Times, q prepared and introduced a broad general tax program which was very moderate and non-discriminatory in its applica- ton. This program consisted of three phases" Rivers pointed out. "The phases being a modest in come tax, a general property tax and privilege or business license tax. The first two of these bills failed in the senate by 7-9 vote, the third was killed in the house." Rivers stated.
 Complimenting Alaska civic groups, but flaying certain mem- bers of the legislative body, Riv- CTS said, "I wish to state that it is to the credit of Alaskas citizens, its chambers of commerce, civic organizations, labor unions and other groups that they did not ac- lively oppose, and in most in- stances actually endorsed this tax program, knowing that the need was critical. It is evident that the people of Alaska did not oppose necessary taxes to meet the needs. You will then ask, Why were there nine members of the senate who voted against such a program and who were they serving if not the wishes of the territory's peo- ple?' The answer is self-evident and I leave you to arrive at your own conclusions"
 Urging that the territory get by with minimum of functions un- i'll fhe next session of the legisla- lure. Senator Gunnard M. Enge- breth fold the Times. Unless there has been a change of think ing in some of the senators. a sps-
