Truman Will Try To Revise l948
 Income Tax Law

SHIN GTON, (P - Rep. Eberharter D.-PaD, said today he looks for President Truman to urge a revision of the 1948 income tax cut.
 The idea, said Eberharter, would be to pass more of the savings along to low income groups by boosting the levies for those in the upper brackets.
 Eberharter, a member of the taX-framing House ways and means committee, also predicted that MT. Truman will revive his excess profits tax proposal.
 However, some of the Presi- dents advisers are known to take dim view of such a move be- cause of its possible effect on busi- ness.
 There has been considerable speculation that before MT. Tru- man reaches any definite decision on business taxes he may renew his plea to industry to lower prices-and profits.
 The President had little to say about an excess profits tax during his campaign. But he took several husky swipes at the income tax cut bill which the 80th Congress wrote into law over his veto.
 He called it a ''rich mans" bill.
 Eberharter did not say what sort of revisions he thinks MT.

The Chinese government said today its troops scored gains in the Peiping-Tientsin area of North China, which is surrounded by communists.
 Three communist brigades, to- taling possibly 3O,O00 men, were smashed in a drive on Ihkiach- wang, Red headquarters ITO miles south of Peiping, government headquarters said.
 Another 2,000 communists were reported killed, in the govern ment's recapture of Hingcheng, in the Manchurian corridor. There Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek's forces are trying to fight south to the Great Wall and join up with troops of the North China com mand.
 South of the Great Wall, Red Troops were said to have been cleared from the vicinity of the Tangshan coal mines, which sup ply Tientisin and Peiping.
 The government report came as American authorities moved to evacuate 1000 American depend ents from Nanking, Shanghai, Tientsin and Peiping. The Ameri- cans fear an outbreak of fighting in the major national cities may cut off escape for the U. s. citi- zens.

Stock Market
 Takes Bullish |. Squirt In Trading

NEW YORK, (P) - The stock market headed upward early Sat urday but the rally soon begged down.
 Toward the close of trading gains and losses were pretty well mixed, mostly within range of a point either way.
 Soon after the opening, orders poured into the exchange at such a rate the ticker tape was unable to keep up with floor transactions for a while. Business later slack ened a bit but the days volume still reached sizable total.
 Financial quarters rep r t e d widespread apprehension exists over possible effects of the new administrations policies. Despite the present high level of economic activity, which promises to con tinue for months to come, many feel that business profits may take a beating.
 Probably the markets greatest concern, these sources claim, is an excess profits tax.

Congress Dems
 Expected to Revive New Deal Program

WASHINGTON, (P)-The Con- gress elected Tuesday is expected to give much smoother sledding to President Truman's new deal pro- gram, battered and often ignored by the Republican 80th Congress.
 That program is topped by such things as broader social security coverage, anti-discrimination bills, public housing, public heal,h in- surance and federal aid for educa- ton.
 All these measures had been opposed in the past by many of the lawmakers who went down to defeat in last weeks voting. Those hold-overs who had been influen- tial in blocking the President will by in a much weaker position now, for Democrats will be in con- trol of the law-making machinery
 Ousted from the Senate by the electorate were such opponents of MT. Truman's legislation as Ball Minn), Dworshak QdaO, Rever- comb (W. VaD, Robertson CWyoD, Buck DelD, Brooks QllD, and Will son QoWa). Of the defeated Re publicans only Cooper KyD, gave the President much support.
 In the places of these Senators when the 81st Congress convenes next January will be Democrats Douglas GID, Chapman Ky), Frear DelO, Humphrey (MinnO, Gillette Qowa), Nicely (W. Va0, Hunt (WyoO, and Miller Qda0. There is nothing in the record of those who have held public office previously to indicate that MT. Truman can expect anything but cooperation from them, in general.
