CIVIL WAR PREDICTED, |,
 YUG0 LAND
,Cominform Journal Quotes General Everything Is
 Spearheaded by Russ
tBy The Associated Press)

The monthly journal of the Com inform carried an article today pre- dieting civil war in Yugoslavia, butt of Moscow's rage.
 The article, signed by a refugee Yugoslav general, was being read in the light of Russia's stinging de- feat in the United Nations yester- day and her ominous prediction of painful consequences over tlF election of Yugoslavia to the U. N. Security Council.
 The prediction of civil war came from Maj. Gen. Pero Popi- voda,, who fled from the Yugoslav army to Rumania last year. He said Premier Marshal Tito of Yu- goslavia had allied himself with imperialists and thus "Yugoslav patriots resistance to the traitors will inevitably grow into an armed struggle and will destroy the imper- ialist plans which already have beeAl exposed"
 In the United Nations, where the Yugoslavs, with American support, won the Council seat by a bare two- thirds majority, the delegations went their routine ways today, but there was much speculation over what Soviet Foreign Minister An drei Vishingsky had meant by painful consequences Yugoslav- ia takes the seat at the end of the year, leaving Russia lonely minority of one on the powerful council. Russia still retains the veto of course
 As for armed conflict in Yugo- slavia, you can pick your own ru- mor today. There have been re- ports of Soviet troop movements in the countries of the Cominform ringing Yugoslvia, reports of infil- tration of potential guerrilla fight CTS against Tito, reports that the Green Communist guerrillas with drawn from the written-off Greek civil war were preparing to dupli- cate their tactics inside Tito's ter ritory.

 To Beat Taxes
Senator Says Truman $ Tax Raise Needless If
 Income Raised
BY FRANCES M. LIE MAY

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2l.-lR- Capitol Hill fired back at Presi- dent Truman's talk of a tax increase today with counter proposals to slash government spending instead
 Another popular suggestion on how to make the governments ends meet was:
 By tax adjustments and other in- centives, encourage a billowing in- dustrial and business economy with sights set on s300,0O0, 100000 na- tional income. That, it is figured, would yield adequate revenue without hikes in tax rates-to sup port federal. state and local govern ments. National income now is at the rate of about 217,0C0, 900 ,000.
 House Republican Leader Martin, of Massachusetts, issued state ment saying the President wants more taxes to put "his socialist schemes over pn the American peo- pie"
 ECONOMY TERMED "SHAKY"
 "The American economy" he de- clared, lis so shaky now that an increase in the tax burden might easily lead to a depression with mil lions out of jobs
 MT. Truman disclosed his 1850 tax objective at his news confer ence yesterday, despite tA) that Congress has ignored his call last January for a S4,000, ,00000 tax in- crease, and (B) 1850 is election year. All House members and one-third of the Senate will be out asking votes then from taxpayers.
 MT. Truman told the newsmen that if anybody could tell him any way, without tax increases, to meet an estimated $5,0oO 100000 fed eral deficit in the current fiscal year, then he'd like to be told.
 PROPOSALS LISTED
 Chairman George (D-Ga) of the Senate Finance Committee came up immediately with his counter pro- posal:
 T think the way to meet our de- ficit is: l. To reduce spending, and 2 Readjust our taxes so as to en- courage greater production and in- spire greater activity in all lines.
 T have a strong conviction that we should encourage increased pro- duction until we achieve an an nual national income of somewhere in the neighborhood of $3O0,00o, ,000,- 0O0.'

SOME HOPE IN STEEL STRIKE,
 NOT IN GOAL
Mine Owners Say Lewis Wants to Destroy
 Coal Industry
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Coal operators walked out on contract talks with the United Mine Workers Friday. But there was a flicker of hope that a break may come in the steel strike.
 Northern and western mine op- orators left White Sulphur Springs, w. Va, where negotiations designed to end the five weeks old coal strike, were being held.
 They accused John L. Lewis of be- ing willing ito destroy" the coal in- dustry "in his mad race for power They said they would meet with union leaders again when the union leaders show they are ready "to consider our employees and the industry"
 The situation in the costly, 21-day steel strike, says Cyrus s. Ching Federal Mediation Chief, lis not hopeless
 NO OPTIMISM, EITHER
 But, Ching said in statement in New York last night after confer ences with U. s. Steel Corporation officials, Eve do not want to create the impression that there is a basis for optimism
 Ching's hint of hope, coupled with warning against optimism followed earlier comment by Pre- sident Truman that he has no pre- sent plans for intervening in the steel or coal strikes or for seiz- ing either industry.
 Ching's statement came as the continuing steel-coal tieups choked off much of the nations industrial activity and made idle more than a million workers. Ching and other top mediation officials planned to meet again today with representatives of "big steel.' They hope to get the steel companies and CIO United Steel workers to resume negotiations and attempt to settle their dispute over free pensions.
 There was some progress in the coal strike, insofar as the southern operators meeting at Bluefield, w. Va, were concerned, but northern and western operators appeared hopelessly deadlocked with John L. Lewis.

Minute Men
 Termed Key
 ForSeturity
Idea Is Advanced to Meei Commie Threat- Action
 Rather than Talk
BY EDWARD O. ETHELL

DENVER, Oct 21.-LR--A mod ern organization of minute men to meet threats of Communist sabot- age was proposed today. It was termed the key to adequate security
 The plan was offered ty c. B Lister of Washington, Executive Di- rector of the National Rifle Asso- citation. Lister helped draft the first manual on Home Guard organiza- tion in World War II. He asked his Board of Directors to hell establish a new internal security force of civilians in their states while there is time
 Russia could cripple this nation in 12 hours without ever using an atom bomb" Lister declared in an interview elaborating on his plan
 "A lot of talk-and very little action-on civilian defense plans centering mostly on disaster re- lief, has betrayed the average Am erican into a sense of security.
 But the Communists could at- tack without warning. They could do it through their cells. scattered over the United States.
 Even if the FBI has spotted ev- cry cell and every Communist, they could effectively sabotage our power and communication systems, on water supply and transportation net and our vital industrial plants. They could do it before wholesale arrests could be made. .
 His plan provides simply for mat ching each Communist cell with a cell-or two cells-of minute men.
 These would be organized in ev- cry community and every strategic industrial plant. They would be vol untary. Their assignments would be to guard familiar objects: The highway bridge at the edge of town' the dam backing up the reservoir that provides water for their farm lands; the local power station; the big transformer at the factory; the telephone switchboards.
