APPROVED-The Senate Admin
istration Committee has approved
the bill to permit the Civil Serv-
ice Commission to assess lesser
penalties then outright dismissal
in cases of minor unwilling Vi
olations by Federal workers OF
the Hatch Act. A House Admin
listration Subcommittee approved
similar bill last week.
Under the present Hatch Act
provisions, which bars political
activities by Federal workers
those employees found guilty OF
a violation must be fired. Commits
sion officials contend that in some
cases this firing penalty Is much
too severe.
The new legislation was intro
duced in Congress after President
Truman vetoed a bill containing
similar provisions. The President
favored the lesser penalty pro.
vision, but he disapproved of the
section giving nearby Fedora
workers the authority to engage
in local politics. Consequently
the new legislation was drafted tx
contain the lesser penalty pro-
vision only and does not contain
the local politics section.

NEW BILL
 1s. ON TAXES ' PROPOSED
New Increase as Proposed By Truman Given Turn
 Down by Writers

WASHINGTON, March 10-tR-- Democratic tax law writers today apparently abandoned any idea ot S1 ,000, 100000 net increase in tax es. as proposed by President Tru- man.
 Instead, 1t looks as though they may approve tax bill:
 l. Slashing excise levies by about $l, 900, 100000. MT. Truman has pro- posed that such cut be held to $655 100000.
 2. Picking up about $l,000,000000 by increased collections in other directions. The President proposed that a $655, 100000 excise cut be offset-and that an additional Sl,- 000000 be ollected-through plug ging of tax law loopholes and by new levies on big corporations, in- eritances and large gifts.
 The new tax bill is not expected to make any changes in individ- ual income tax rates.
 MT. Truman has given advance warning that he will veto any tax hill that cuts excises without pick ing up the lost revenue elsewhere. It appears now that House Demo- crats may try to cover the excise loss, and forget about picking up an extra sl,O000OO, 900.

Here Is Strange 5iory; Narrator Stands ByIt
(By Associated Press)

A Los Angeles businessman has told newsmen a strange story. He says he saw an ultra-streamlined flying saucer last week, wrecked on mountainside in Mexico.
 The businessman, Ray L. Dim mick of Los Angeles, says he was told that a man g inches tall died in the crash and that his body has been embalmed for scientific study. There is no confirmation of Dim mick's account from any source in Mexico, and the Air Force in Wash ington says it hasn't heard of it.
 Dimmick says he personally saw hard-metal remains of the saucer and was told that high Mexican officials believe it came from an- other planet. And, says Dimmick, I'm big enough to take the con- sequences of what I've said and stand my ground"
 Dimmick says the crash occurred about three months ago. He says he was taken to the scene by business associates.
 Describing the wreckage of the saucer, Dimmick said:
 Tt was about 46 feet in diameter, built of a strange metal resembling aluminium" He added.
 "The saucer was powered by two motors"
 Dimmick declined further discus sion. But he did say that top US. military officials have viewed the wreckage. And he continued:
 q think the government ought to make it's position clear. If it doesn't want to disclose these things for security reasons. why not say so. If it feels it is unwise to make the information public for fear of panic, there should be some way found to handle the situation dip lomatically."
