TRUMAN TAX pR0p0SAL NIT: INCREASE OUT
Congress Talks Excise Cuts, No Increase Elsewhere
 More Revenue Agents

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-lR-- Congress showed signs today of writing it's own tax ticket, ignor- ing President Truman's advance notice that he will veto any bill that cuts taxes without making up the revenue elsewhere.
 There was much talk of reducing excises-sometimes called sales or nuisance taxes-but rejecting part or all of MT. Truman's proposed $1 1000, 100000 tax boost on other things.
 The President yesterday asked Congress to enact tax law that would:
 l. Increase federal revenue by $1,000,00O,00O by higher taxes on corporations with annual profits over s50,000 and by larger estate and gift taxes; and 2. Reduce many wartime excise rates-!tut only to the extent that the revenue loss is recovered by plugging existing tax law loopholeS.
 He recommended no increase in individual income taxes.
 Shortly after the Presidents mes sage was read in the House and Senate, the House Appropriations Committee disclosed that the Treasury Department has added the third major point in the Adminis- tration's tax program: crackdown on tax dodgers of the middle-in- come brackets who do not report all their taxable income.
 Reaction to MT. Truman's tax ideas was sharp.
 It indicated:
 1. The tax bill Congress finally whips together may slash excises well beyond MT. Trumans recom- mendations- possibly as much as $1,OO0, 100000 to S1,5O0, 100000. The President said he couldn't sign any bill reducing eXcises unless it provided TOT replacing the lOSt rev. enue.
 2. A concerted drive will be. made to plug the tax loopholes by which the President said many groups find legal ways to escape their fair share of taxation"
 3. The Senate may not approve this year a bill containing the $1,O00,000000 increase in taxes or large corporations, estates and gifts, that MT. Truman wants Some increases may be passed hy the House, but a top Democrat said informally he does not believe the Senate will accept them.
 {. Congress probably will join the administration in drive against tax dodgers, giving the Internal Revenue Bureau about 5000 addi- tional agents to check on personal income statements.

Ru CHARLES D. WATKINS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-R- Wild game in Alaska is falling be- fore the advance of civilization, says Director Albert M. Day of the Fish and Wildlife Service.
 Day told House Appropriations subcommittee, in testimony made public today, that an increase ir the Territory's population, improve ment of it's roads and increased use of aircraft have combined to bring about decrease in the number of wild game.
 The subcommittee was consider ing funds for the Interior Depart ment, of which the wildlife service is part.

 He asked $937,50O for handling Alaska fisheries and game and $459,7Oo for protection of Alaska seals. The amount for the handling of the fish and game is an increase of $1CO,7l7 over this years funds.

UNDERWORLD LID IS OPENED IN CASH QUIZ

BOSTON, Jan. 24-R--Sharp de- tectives dug deep into the under world today in efforts to crack the week-old S1 ,500,000 Brink's Armored Truck Company robbery.
 They prepared to return to state prison to question Samuel S Granite, 42, of Brooklyn, NY.
 Granite is serving a 10 to Is year sentence in connection with the $l10,00O B. F. Sturtevant robbery in 1947.
 That raid was the biggest in the city until Tuesdays history-mak ng sweep on Brink's vaults by eight heavily armed desperadoes.
 Police believe the gang that en- gineered the Sturtevant robbery may have master-minded the Brink holdup. Granite was the only one convicted in the Sturtevant raid.
 Detectives said that "so far we have met only with rebutfs" in efforts to get information from Granite.
 Several other ex-convicts were grilled overnight by local and state police.
 Meanwhile, special squads toured hot" spots in search of clues which were running low as the sec ond week of the investigation ap- preached.
 The states chief prosecutor, Atty. Gen. Francis E. Kelly issued a flat statement last night that some one connected with Brink's may be connected with the job"

PETERSBURG
 WAITRESS

PETERSBURG, Alaska, Jan. 24- LB This fishing community of l,252 persons ran out of running water today.
 The sturdy fishing folk under stand sympathetically how the.r New York cousins have been feel ing.
 Coils are being pulled from hot water heating systems. Drug stores are having a run on disposable diapers. Housewives are discovering how much snow it takes to make pan of water.
 An enterprising taxi company advertised fresh water from creeks outside of the town at 50 cents for five gallons, The price threatened to go up today-as the water went down.
 Cold weather is to blame.
 Ironically, this is happening in Alaskas rain belt. The town is a neigheor of Ketchlkan, which had POP inches of rain in 1949 and also has water worries now.
 Most of Southeastern Alaska lies under two to four feet of snow. But it's the dry kind.
 As residents eye every new cloud hopefully, their main fear is fire. The town has four salt water bumpers at strategic positions on the waterfront. Arrival of 750 feet of hose from Juneau yesterday boi- stered the fire department.
 The water situation has been critical for month. It began when the first cold spell of winter began to hold back moisture in the towns watershed, keeping it from running into the reservoir.
 The temperature plunged below zero Sunday night and has stayed there ever since.

The W ashingion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON


 Copyright, 1850, by Bell Syndicate. Incl WASHINGTON = At secret meeting with General Bradley re- gently, atomic energy Chairman Lilienthal made ast-ditch, emo- tional plea against the hydrogen bomb. In effect, he said: We must exhaust every means of reaching an agreement with Russia to out law atomic warfare before we make this bomb. We should appeal over the heads of the Kremlin to the Russian people. They will force Sta- lin to come to terms"
 Lilienthal speaks for a torment ed group of scientists who made the atomic bombs used at Hiro- shima and Nagasaki and who agreed somewhat against their better judgment-that the bombs should be dropped on enemy cities.
 It is still a secret in the files of the Manhattan district, but the atomic scientists were sharply di- vided into three groups. One did not want the bomb used at all. They urged that the President an- nounce that we had the bomb and would use it unless the enemy sur rendered.
 Group No. 2 wanted the atomic bomb dropped over an uninhabited area as warning.
 Group No. approved the action taken at Hiroshima. This included Dr. Robert Oppenheimer and pr. Harold Urey.
 But when the photographs of scared flesh and the medical re- ports from Nagasaki and Hiroshi-
