them until March Is, 1920. Labor
trouble was not involved then.
In 1943, to prevent a strike, the
Government again seized the car

In 1916, because of a brief strike
the Government again took over

requests for $4,000 of additional

and took the librarian, DR.. Luther

statement that the United States
might have had a better under

expert.

bill:
l. Senator Humphrey, Demo-
crat. of Minnesota, asserted that
the Senate Finance Committee
converted Mr.. Truman's bill into
"pork-barrel" and smoke
screen" for the relief of wealthy
taxpayers. He served notice he
will offer amendments.
2. A drive of undetermined
strength developed to tax coop
eratives. Senator Williams, Re-
publican, of Delaware, prepared
an amendment for that purpose.
Senator George predicted the
bill, with unanimous committee
backing, will pass substantially in
its present form. The House still
must act.
Provisions of Measure.
The measure would:
/. Increase taxes on SO million
plus individuals by an estimated
So billion a year. effective as of
October /. The increases for most
taxpayers would be about 20 per
cent. The withholding on wages
and salaries, after personal ex-
emptions, would Jump October l
from Is per cent to Is.
2. Boost corporation taxes by
an estimated 81 billion year,
effective on one-half of 1850 in
come. The top corporate rate
would be boosted from 38 per
cent to As. For all of 1850 COR
poration income. the top rate
would be ~ per cent. This would
be in lieu Of trying to apply one
half of the full year increase to
one-half of 1850 income.

The House and Senate con-
ferees on the omnibus bill ap.
peared to be still undecided this
morning what they, would do about
the generai~eeonorny cuts m non

The House started out with
amendments which would have:

ever total Congress finally appro-
PIRATES: plus a 10 per cent cut Ii,
personnel funds and a ban on
filing more than 10 per cent Of
the jobs that become vacant this
year in civilian agencies.
The Senate struck out all OF
these provisions and substituted
the Byrd-Bridges economy amend
ment, which would require a ID
per cent in the overall budget OF
civilian agencies. The latter
amendment exempted the defense
establishment and a list of non
defense bureaus deemed vital in
the current emergency. It also was
not aimed entirely at personnel
as were two of the House amend
ments.
There were reports today that
the non-defense economy drive is
not faring well in the conference

military planning and thinking
in key positions is not as clear
and accurate as could be desired -
the committee report stated, "but
it is not the purpose of the COM
mittee at this time to criticize
past errors of judgment. The
purpose of the committee and the
Congress now is to exercise its
responsibility and bring into bal
ance the defense forces and mu-
nit1ons of war in order to face
the realities that presently con-
front the Nation"
Use of Past Funds Explained.
The report also seeks to answer
the question of how the defense
funds appropriated since the close
of World War II have been spent.
The committee estimates that of
the $49.3 billion provided in the
past four years, about 40 per cent
was needed to pay, feed, clothe
and transport the armed forces.
About 26 per cent was required
to operate and maintain aircraft,
ships and other technical equip
ment and installations.
For major procurement of new
ships, aircraft, tanks and other
weapons, the amount utilized was
$8.5 billion.
In this connection, the commit
tee noted that of the total amount
provided for procurement only
about 10 per cent was used in
undermining and equipping the
Army.
1T is true that from World
War II there are stocks of many
.usable items, many in excess of
peacetine requirements" the.
committee went on. "On the,
other hand such stocks are un-'
balanced and considerable guam
titles are unserviceable for want
Iof repair or modernization."
Voice of America Gets Funds.
The emergency bill gives the
State Department 1887 $50 ad-
ditional for the Voice of America
program.
The committee said it was noa
allowing all the State Department
requested for supervising and
housekeeping this program, COM
planning that the requests were
excessive. The committee said,
however, the funds provided WILLY
permit more intensive effort to
reach the peoples in critical areas
of the world with information to
combat Communist propaganda.
AT the same time House and
Senate conferees were called to-
gether to iron out remaining diff
ferences over the omnibus ap-
preparation bill, which is expected
to carry $40 billion or more for
the regular operations of the
Government until next July.
Total of About $57 Billion.
The omnibus bill, plus the
emergency supplemental measure
due to come out of the House COM
mittee today. are expected to
produce a Federal budget close to
$57 billion for this fiscal year.
OF that total, more than half will
be for defense. In addition to
the $16.7 billion for defense in the
supplemental bill, the omnibus
measure contains about $14.5
billion for all the military services.
