Truman Resigned
Gigantic New Tax
Will Not Pass
(By D. Harold Oliver)


Truman described the domestic
economic situation yesterday as
bullish. He promised a full state
ment on conditions in his mid
year economic report to Congress
the first of next week.
The President also indicated at
a news conference that he may
now be resigned to the idea that
Congress will not pass his pro-
posed four billion dollar tax in
crease this session.
Informed that Rep. John Nc
Cormack of Massachusetts, the
Democratic House leader, had eX-
pressed the opinion Wednesday
night that Congress will not pass
such bill this year, Mr.. Truman
said John ought to know for the
simple reason that tax legislation
originates in the House.
The President said he favors eff
forts in the House now to pass a
labor bill substituting for the Taft
measure approved by the Senate.
But he said the decision has been
left up to House Democratic lead
ers. Labor leaders have advocated
leaving the Taft-Hartley act alone
for the rest of this year so that it
can figure in the 1850 elections.
On economics, the President
was asked if he is bullish or bear
ish in the present situation. He re-
piled he is bulliSh and mentioned
the stock markets movements in
the last few days to bear him out.
Mr.. Truman said the British fl
nancial crisis will not be covered
in his economic message to Con.
greSS next Week-the report will
deal only with the United States.
He would not comment on the
British situation, saying it is be-
ing discussed in Paris and London.
The economic message, he add
ed, will give his views on the anti
deflation proposal of Senator
Murray D.-MontD, which recon-
mends among other things a fiji
teen billion dollar standby public
works program.
He said it also will answer the
question whether he believes de-
flationary forces now outweigh
inflationary forces.
The President, commenting on
the suggestion of Senator Vanden-
berg (R.-Mich0 that he lead a new
crusade for peace, said he has
been doing just that ever since he
took office in April. l945, and
will continue to do so.
He said world disarmament is
matter now before the United Ma
tons, and until an atomic bomb
control plan is agreed to. disarm-
ament talk must be delayed.
Does this mean that the world
is not heading toward peace? No,
Mr.. Truman replied. He said it is
moving slowly and gradually tow
ard this goal and he expressed
confidence we will gradually get
it.
He brushed aside fears express
ed by Rep. Vinson D.-GaJ that
the Scnate-approved bill to tight
en- the present armed services uni
fication act may lead to defense
dictator. He described such views
as perfectly absurd.

died when the Canadian freighter
Emperor rammed into the Lake
Superior rocks and sank June 4,
1947.
Burned Five Hours.
The night blaze burned for al
most five hours before firemen
could 60 aboard. The first alarm
sounded at 1888 am.
Eighteen fire trucks and two
fire boats, called by three alarms,
fought a futile battle against the
blaze at the Canada Steamship
ne's pier, at the foot of Bay
street.
The ship settled by the stern,
her bow pointing toward the city.
Her name "Noronic" cleaned al
most unblemished in the daylight,
with wreckage and ruin all about.
The wooden superstructure of the
two upper decks was burned away
and the ships skeleton was
buckled in at least two places.
Steel lifeboats on the starboard
side Of the upper deck alongside
the pier were crumpled like wet
paper.
Two masts stuck out Of the wa
ter. The crows nest OF the for
ward mast was fame singed.
Hoses Play On Wreckage.
Two dozen hoses kept playing
on the wreckage while the search
for bodies went on.
AS the burned corpses were
handed up from the amidships
area where the saloon was To-
Gated. they were wrapped in tar
paulins and laid on the pier in
the haze of smoke and steam.
Bobbing life belts fioated in
the water near the pier. Life
boat crews dragged for bodies of
any who might have drowned in
their frantic attempts to escape
by plunging into the water or
sliding down ropes.
The Noronic's sister ship, the
Hamonic. was wrecked by fire
near Sarnia In 1945. Ohe per-
son died..
AL available ambulances and
dozens Of police and fire depart
ment vehicles crowded the dock
side. Hose lines stretched across
the area.
AL Lindgren of Montreal, bar
manager on the ship. said he
jumped off the bow. He tried to
save cash in his bar receipts but
met wall of flame and was forced
back from the bar.
Within a few minutes after
flames engulfed the Noronic, the
Cayuga-C. s. L. excursion vessel
on the Toronto to Queenstown
run-was pulled out in the lake.
The Cayuga had been tied close
to the Noronic and witnesses said
she would have burned If she had
not been moved.
Panic Breaks Out.
Mr.. and Mrs. Alec Bremner said
panic broke out on board when
the alarm was given.
The Bremners were asleep on
B Deck, third deck down, and
were reused by running feet as
other passengers fed partly
dressed and jumped overheard.
"It was bedlam," Mrs. Bremner
shuddered. I'VE ran out when we
saw the smoke and flames and
we jumped on the dock"
Two officers jumped over the
bow as flames roared down on
them.
One Of the passengers said "the
skipper took another officer and
went along to as many cabins as
he could to try to make sure that
the passengers were aroused.
But he couldn't get all the way
around. The flames were too
fierce"
