battle for uniform standards in
the Harvester chain and the farm

Southern Harvester workers re-
turned to work on Oct. 27. Fielde

of special significance in the in
dustry, since it represented IHC's
first effort to run away from high
Northern wages.

early this year, after securing it
from the government for a frac-
ton of its original cost, Harves-
ter management transferred trac-
tor work from the FE-organized
Chicago plants whose workers are
the highest paid in the industry
and instituted Southern wage
scales involving differentials rang
ing from five to 40 cents hourly
for piece-workers and eight cents
hourly for day-workers. In win
ming the NLRB election last July,
the union pledged itself to elm
mate the discriminatory southern
wage structure.

all prices and general policies, re-
fused to yield until the FE Har-

by injunctions, company inspired

tile back-to-work movements, with

Truman Against
 Tax Reduction

WASHINGTON, (R)-Secretary of the treasury Snyder told the Re publican controlled Congress today the Truman administration is flat ly against any income tax reiuc. ton this year.
 He said the administration spe- officially opposes granting-now or any other time proposed p per cent "across the board" tax cut on incomes up to $303,000 6 year.
 The secretary was the first wit ness at hearings by the House ways and means committee on g bill by Rep. Knutson R.-MinnD to provide the straight 20 per cent cut. Knutson is chairman of the committee.
 Snyder said he believes "sHb- stantial" tax cuts can be made in the future, but he set the stage for a major clash between Congress and the Executive with this state ment in his prepared testimony: "It will be time enough to enact tax reductions when and if there is definite evidence that the l948 surplus is greater than prudence requires to be applied towards re- duction of the public debt"
 And if Congress is determined to cut taxes this year, he said, it should give greater benefits to the taxpayers with small incomes.
 "The t20 per cenD bill would give too little reduction to lower incomes and relatively too much to higher incomes" Snyder said. WASHINGTON, (P)-Two for mer undersecretaries of the treas ury urged the House ways and means committee today to go ahead with plans to slice federal income taxes 20 per cent across the board

Hungary, Korea Need Aid Badly

WASHINGTON, (P) - Wartorn Hungary and occupied Korea ''om biggest today on any list of poten- tial candidates for extension of President Truman's declaration of support for free peoples.
 Officials or several government departments already are at work on proposals to help these two na- tions whose plight-like that of Greece and TurNey--has reSIited at least in part from Soviet Rus sia'S expansive pressure.
 The foreign help which the United States has extended since VIE day suggests that a global pro- jection of the policy MT. Truman outlined yesterday to Congress might later include China and Italy as well.
 This government made plain its Intention to bolster Hungary in announcing a $l5,000,000 surplus property credit last month, and still later by voicing a sharp protest against Russia's direct interfer- ence" in an attempt to upset the freely elected" Democratic ma iority in the Budapest parliament.
 Korea, nation divided by American and Russian occupation zones, has a status somewhat like Austria, but the Koreans can qual- fly as free people under formal declarations of wartime allies.
 Congress is to be asked for ad ditional funds for Korea, but the amount has not been disclosed.
