President Truman today de-

as filibuster and said firmly that
he does not like filibusterS.
Mr.. Truman's views were given
at a news conference at which he
once again rejected the idea of a
meeting with Premier Stain and
other heads of state to solve
world problems. AS he has done
so often before Mr.. Truman said
the United Nations was set up to
deal with world problems and
that the General Assembly was
the proper forum to air them.

when the President was asked

Corporation Tax
Increase Voted
.ByConmittee
Senators Approve
Top Rate Of rs Pct,
Effective July !
BY the Associoted Press

The Senate Finance COMMITTEES
today unanimously approved
President Truman's proposal for
a SIS billion a year increase in
corporation taxes-boosting the
top corporate income rate from
38 per cent to As per cent.
The committee acted shortly
after President Truman told a
news conference that an excess
profits tax will be enacted eventu-
ally.
The committee ruled that the
higher rates shall apply as of July
/, 1850. 1t refused to accept Mr..
Truman'S proposal that the in
creaseS apply to all of 1850 cor
porate income.
The corporate increase is part
of Mr.. Truman's overall IS billion
tax increase proposal, to help
finance the Korean war and
Americas armament against
Communist aggression.
Individual Levy Up Tomorrow.
The committee probably will
vote tomorrow on the Presidents
proposal for a SO billion increase
in levies on individual incomes
raising the rates by 20 per cent in
some income categories.
The corporate rate approved
today would be 25 per cent on the
first $4,000 of corporation in
come, and IS per cent on income
above $25,
Mr.. Truman said that he would,
of course, approve an excess profits
tax if it is added to his SIS billion
interim tax proposal.
He said, however, that such a
tax was very controversial and
should not be permitted to delay
action on the original White
House proposal.
He said Congress will be in a
better position to act on an excess
profits tax after November, when
it won't have election jitters.
Real Battle on Floor.
The real battle on putting a
ceiling on profits probably will
come when the bill reaches the
Senate floor. The vote there may
be close
Senator George said if the Sen
ate pins on such a tax he will
move that the bill be sent back to
his committee. for hearings. He
insisted that action on an excess
profits levy be put off until later
this year or January, so that Con-
gress can make a full study Of
how to apply such a levy.
The corporation tax scheduls
now is 81 per cent of the first
$4,000; % per cent of the next
$4,000; rs per cent of the next
$4,000; So per cent of the income
between $4,000 and $4,000, and
IS per cent on income above $50,-

Senate Committee Plan

A Defense Department spokes-
man told Senators today that a
new proposal for universal mill
tary training of youths should
reach Congress soon.
Rear Admiral H. A. HouSer, who
represents the Defense Depart
ment on legislation, gave that in
formation the Senate Armed Ser
vices Committee.
Chairman Tydings had told his
committee that he understood a
vast training program. probably
applying to all youths 18 and 10
years old, now was under study.
Senator Tydings asked a group
of Army, Navy and Air Force Off
GERS. present for the committee
session, if this were true.
Admiral HouSer said new UNIT
plan is receiving intensive study
of the Department of Defense
and should reach Congress soon
He gave no details.
Senator Tydings remarked that
additional methods, beyond the
present Draft Act and calls to
duty for some National Guard
and Reserve groups, probably
must be found to provide the
manpower needed by the Army
Air Force. Navy and Marines.
The UNIT disclosure came as
the Senate group voted to sus-
pend provisions of the Draft Act
that directed the Army, Navy and
Air Force to allow 18-year-oldS to
volunteer for one year of service
and thus avoid being drafted at
10 for 81 months of service.
Under present law, 18-year-olds
cannot be sent overseas.
Actually, no one-year enlist
ments have been accepted in
recent months because the Armed
Services said the program had
proved unsuccessful.

President Truman accepted Mr..

member commission was taking

gram from him.
Yesterday, Mr.. Dean called the

remarks were disclosed today. Pre-

His going is not my idea-it
is entirely his own-and have

any alternative but to accept it.
like frankness and Carroll has
been frank. I think it is unfor-
tunate for the program that he
chose this manner of leaving; but
only time can tell whether I am
right or wrong. I am most
anxious to minimize any harm
that may be done"
Mr.. Dean said he had been con-
vinced ever since joining the COM
mission last year that if we have
suffered from one thing it has
been controversy.
"Bedeviled" From Outset.

from the outset. I am not Sug-
gesting that this is any ones
fault, but I do think it is an I'M
fortunate situation-and to be
avoided whenever possible"
He said the commission should
not become subservient to critics
whether in Congress or industry,
but he warned the staff there
is such a thing as becoming
punch-drunk from minor league
fights only to lose out when cham
pionship battles arrive"
Mr.. Dean said the Acc has
"a big educational job to do in

Germs and the public"
