25% Tax Boost May Be Needed
To Balance Budqet With Levies

Congressional experts figure 1t
would take an across the board
increase of about 18 per cent in
individual and corporation in
come taxes to produce the
budget balancing $5.500.000,0 900.
Since a blanket increase in
such taxes is not believed to be
feasible. these experts said some
taxes might have to go up Is per
cent while others remained at
about present levels.
How much of a tax increase
the President might ask would
depend on the size of the budget
he submits to Congress for the
year beginning next July /.
Few lawmakers think Mr.. Tru-
man is going to be able to keep
that budget much under the $43,-
500 10000 he has said will be
spent this year. They think the
cost of farm price supports, for
instance, will Offset any savings
the President might bring about
in military outlays.
However. Senator Byrd, Demo-
crat. of Virginia told a Cleveland
audience this week that at least
s., 900 ,000. 900 could have been cut
off this years outlays If 800 rela-
lively small items in the budget
had been held to the figures Of
the previous year and not In
creased.

Davis, jr.; Harry Winston, John
Gate, Gilbert Green, Carl Winter
and Gus Hall.
Previously the Government
asked 100000 bail each for Den
mis-, Potash, Stachel, Williamson,
Hall. Green and Thompson. It.
recommended $4,000 bail each for
Davis. Winston. Gates and Winter.
A lawyer for the Communists, o.

By Gould Lincoln

NEWARK, N. j., Nov. 3.-Jer-
sey Republicans apear to be over
the hump in their drive to re-
elect Gov. Alfred E. Driscoll.
The Republican leadership,
however. is careful to make no ex-
aggerated claims of victory. Rath-
er it is concentrating on an all
out effort to have its organization
on its toes and to get out the vote.
"Ab" Hermann. executive di-
rector of the Republican National
Committee and himself a Jersey
man who has managed several
victorious campaigns in the State
in the past. is here giving his
whole time again to putting Gov.
Driscoll across and defeating
State Senator Elmer H. Wene,
the Democratic challenger.
Three factors are apparently
playing into the hands of the
Republicans. First is the bitter
warfare between the Democratic
factions in Hudson County, one
of which is supporting Mayor

Second Is a division in the
ranks of organized labor. .The
American Federation of Labor
has Endorsed Mr.. Wene. The
more numerous and politically
active CIO has refused to indorse
him and given its reasons. 1t
has not Endorsed Gov. Driscoll
but the bitterness with which 1t
has turned on Mr.. Wene makes
it anything but neutral.
Third is the abortive proposal,
originating in the Archdiocese of
Newark. that it would be we'll in
the coming election to consider
that the Republican Governor
had not favored a proposed refer
endum legalizing bingo in New
Jersey while Mr.. Wene favored
such q referendum. Bingo has
been regarded as means of rails
ing funds for the parochial schools.
The publication of a report
that 250,000 pamphlets discussing
the bingo matter were to be circu-
lated among the school children
brought the issue to a head. It
has incensed many Catholics, who

Reports Of Possible
Government Action in
Coal Strike Revived
Indiana Operators Reject
Lewis Proposal to Hold
Separate Negotiations

Reports that the Government
may step into the 46-day old coal
strike soon revived today as In
diana operators refused separate
peace talks with John L. Lewis.
One official indicated that the
Government will invite Mr.. Lewis
and operators to Washington for
a meeting next week unless some
progress is made toward settling
the strike.
Failure of such talks likely
would put the matter up to
President Truman. The President
has taken no action to date on
the grounds that the coal strike
has not reached an emergency
stage.
However. the effects of the coal
strike were growing and there is
increasing pressure from a num-
Der of States for a settlement.
There were these Developments
bearing on the coal and steel
strikes:
l. Indiana operators rejected
a Lewis bid to split the soft coal
industry's resistance to his pen
sion-pay proposals by turning
down his proposal for seperate
peace talks. They said "the is
sues involved are national char
acter and cannot be reconciled to
district negotiations"
2. The only coal negotiations
that have ben going on of late
between the United Mine Work
ers Union and Southern operators
at Biuefield, w. Va.-were broken
off yesterday, just as negotiations
were ended last month between
the union and the Northern op-
orators. The Southern operators
said nothing would be served by
continuing talks that have gone
on fruitlessly for five months.

CLEVELAND. Nov. 3.-The CIO

The role of the Political Action

was due for plenty of attention

says, it helps in dock strikes to

bounced out by convention action
yesterday.
That left 10 others to face the
