Democrats May Offer
Tax Bill Combining
Paris Of Both Plans
Nv the Associated Press

Signs appeared yesterday that
Democrats may combine parts OF
President Truman's tax plan and
the Republican bill in an effort to
reduce sharply the COP $1,000. .000.-
900 tax-slashing measure.
A report was heard on Capitol
Hill that some Democrats are con-
sidering a call at the White House
to discuss such maneuver with the
President prior to the House show
down tax vote February 2.
House Democrats have set mass
meeting for next Wednesday, in an
effort to consolidate their ranks
against the Republican bill. The
tax debate begins Thursday.
Would Cut Revenue 800 Million.
One leading Democrat, who asked
not to be quoted directly. said the
community property feature of the
Republican bill probably would be
combined with Mr.. Truman's tax
plan into a bill the Democrats
will seek to substitute for the COP
measure during the House floor bat
tle.
If such combination were
adopted by Congress it would mean
lower taxes for individuals and
higher taxes for some corporations,
with a net reduction in Federal rev.
enues of perhaps about $500. 900 900.
However, Democratic policy de-
cision has not yet been made.
Mr.. Truman proposed to Congress
a $40 cost of living" tax reduction
this year for every taxpayer and
dependent to be offset by higher
corporation taxes.
Dingell Criticizes Proposal.
The Republican bill, by Represen-
tative Knutson of Minnesota, pro-
vides ID an increase in personal
exemption from $500 to 5000: CO ap-
plication of the community property
principle in all States, allowing hus-
bands and wives to split the family
income equally for tax reporting
purposes, thus holding the income
in lower tax brackets, and 90 addi-
tional cuts ranging from 80 per cent
in the lowest income brackets to 10
per cent in the upper brackets.
Representative Dingell, Democrat
of Michigan, author of the bill en-
bodying Mr.. Truman's tax plan,
told reporters that Mr.. Knutson put
the community property principle
and the extra 500 individual ex-
emption into his new tax bill "in
an effort to pick up Democratic
votes"
While there appears to be little
likelihood that any substitute can
defeat the Knutson bill in the House,
Democratic leaders maneuvered to
pick up the votes of some Republi-
cans who are reported to feel that
q s6,300,000,000 tax cut at this time
Is too high.

doubt Mr.. Thornburg's interest to
the Government.
Yes answered Mr.. Ickes. II
thought his interest was to protect
the interests of the big integrated
companies"
I'VE (the Petroleum Administra-
tom had something to do with his
severing relations with the State
Department Mr.. Ickes added.
Another letter was introduced
during the hearing to show that In
1910 one oil company executive ex-
pressed belief that petroleum inter-
ests had to be pro or anti-Japanese
according to their business interests.
Another Letter introduced.
Senator Brewster put into the
committee record letter purport-
edly written by j. A. Moffett, board
chairman of the Caltex Co.
This, according to committee Stat1
members, was marketing agency
for the Arabian n-American Oil Co.
(Aramco).
The letter identified as Mr.. Moi
fett's was to H. D. Collier, president
of Standard of California, and said
that various interviews and state
ments would certainly make it
clear that we, Caltex, are pro-
English from the standpoint OF the
war"
This brings up point" the
letter continued, which I want to
pass on to you for your con-
sideration.
You are doing a very large busi-
ness with the japanese and there
fore must take as strong a pro-
japanese position as possible to
maintain this business.
"Caltex, however, really must be
anti-Japanese because we have a
large investment in China, do a
large business directly with China
and practically nothing in Japan,
and our main business is in the
British Empire, which is having
real difficulties with the japanese
and must be anti-Japanese at the
present time"
Ickes Denies Such Activity.
Mr.. Ickes told Senator Brewster:
"The Petroleum Administration
was not playing that kind of game.
Mr.. Ickes was called to testify as
to 1943 proposal repeatedly made
by Y. S. S. Rodgers, president Of the
Texas Co., to the effect that
ARAMCO would supply the Gov
ernment with oil at cost plus a
nominal profit" if the Govern
ment in turn would provide lend
lease to Saudi Arabia.
Committee staff members esti-
mated this would have meant Navy
oil costing about 40 cents barrel.
Arabia finally did win lend-lease
status, but in 1945 ARMACO sold
the Navy large quantities of oil at
s1.O5 a barrel. Senator Brewster
has declared his intention of find
ing out why the reported earlier
proposal was not carried out and
why the Government, while making
about $50 OOO,O 900 worth of lendlease
goods available, got nothing in re-
turn"
When Senator Brewster got
around to this point, Mr.. Ickes said
he and his aides were never con-
suited" on the military use, of
Saudi Arabian oil. Throughout the
war, he said, he had no control over,
and little information about, oil
purchases b they armed forces.
Our directives were disregarded
with impunity whenever the Army
and Navy wanted to disregard
them" Mr.. Ickes said, adding that

fuel for weather gossip by remind
ing natives of the 1899 blizzard when
20.5 inches of snow fell on top of
a 1877 inch earlier fall for a total
of 342 inches. That was the all
time record for Washington, and
the 149 degrees below zero accom-
panying the blizzard is also record.
The AAA advised that snow was
drifting from four to eight inches
deep on highways in Virginia and
Maryland. On U. S. 40 west of
Cumberland, Md, the road was open
only to one-way traffic. Many local
roads were impossible. The east
Tidewater area of Virginia had sleet,
making highways hazardous.
Roads Dangerous.
Silver Spring firemen reported
late last night that all Montgomery
County roads were passable but
some were dangerous and not clear.
Motorists were advised not to plan
a westward trip today without con-
sulting road authorities, since noun
tain roads in Virginia and Mary

perative for all roads.

ing a Government purchase o1

Fourth: That a purchase ano

was tied to inside advice I received
from Secretary Anderson.
Fifth: That my purchases and
sales of hides futures reflected the
receipt of inside information
Sixth: That I moved in and out
OF the market for two and one-halt
years with never a loss
Seventh: That I received and
profited from inside information -
that I was an insider.'"
Refers to Wheat Purchase.
Referring to his purchase of 100,-
900 bushels of wheat futures last
August IL, which were sold seven
days later, Mr.. Pauley said that Mr.
Stassen had indicated the trans
action had additional significance
because Mr.. Hannegan (the then
Postmaster General Robert Hanne-
gam and Secretary Anderson were
my guests at Coconut Island during
the month of August" Coconut Is
land is the name Of Mr.. Pauley S
Hawaiian estate.
Mr.. Pauley went on:
ITO me that means only one
thing. Mr.. Stassen claims re-
ceived inside information Re-
member he never makes a charge or
names a name until he has the
proof. Well he can't prove this one
He's already admitted under oath
that Secretary Anderson could only
have advised me to sell, because the
Secretary didn't arrive until Au-
gust IT.
Hes already admitted that he's
making no specific charge against
Secretary Anderson. The fact is
that within three weeks after I sold
those futures their price increased
so cents bushel. If 1 had inside
information would I have held on
for an additional $4,000 profit OIL
would I take a $4100 profit, as
did? If I were an 'in and out
trader dealing with inside dope
would I have gotten out when !
did? Mr.. Chairman, here again it is
obvious that Harold Stassen told
another untruth. *++
ut is only fair that the full meas
ure of this man and his charges be
made public. I have accused him
of uttering deliberate untruths. In
addition, I charge that he is utterly
lacking in comprehension and un-
derstanding of the dealings and
functioning of the commodity mar
kets, the very subject matter Of his
charge.
Hides Deal Brought Up.
Mr.. Pauley said Mr.. StaSSen had
Hgnaled out his transactions" in
hides futures for special considera-
tion," and declared it will serve
better than anything else to expose
Mr.. Stassen."
"He (Stassen) makes a great poln,
sho,,t one particular purchase-400,-
900 pounds on August Is, ls47. Ii
was made, says Stassen, right after
secretary Anderson left Hawaii
The inference is clear. Pauley
bought hides on Anderson's inside
advice. There's a short answer te
that one-the Government bought
no hides from VI Day till January
q 1e48. Was this what Secretary
Anderson told me?

Rankin Has 4 Solutions
To Race Problem

WASHINGTON (ANP) - The
only four possible solutions Of the
race question are determination,
deportation, amalgamation. or seq
regation. according to Mississippi's
Rep. John E. Rankin.
Irate over a resolution recently
passed by a group of Negro bish-
ops asking that he be expelled
from congress. Rankin made the
above statement on the house
floor Monday to reaffirm his posi-
ton on the civil right program.
He charged Communist agitat.
ors" induced the churchmen to
pass such a resolution. "These
agitators, and these Communist
fronts, that are going around stir
ring up this trouble are doing the
Negroes infinitely more harm than
they could ever possibly do them
good" declared the Mississippi
congressman.
Endorsing the statement made
by the governor of his stare last
Sunday, that Mississippi is going
to maintain segregation, Rep.
Rankin added that the white
people of the south propose to
continue to carry on the program
congress or the supreme court of
of segregation regardless of what
the United States says about it."
He warned the proponents of
the civil rights program that the
less they NEEDLE with the race
question of the south the better
off those people are going to be.
Again he referred to the anti.
lynching bill as a "bill to en-
courage rape" and contended that
1t is "a sham and a fraud which
does not propose to protect In
nacent men,"
