'kahoney Plan
To Postpone Action on
Excess Profits Tax
Senator Cites Uncertainty
Of Approval in January;
Compromise Is Possible
By J. A. O'Leory

Talk of compromise thai
would put off the controversial
excess profits tax until January
with a promise to make it retro
active when 1t is adopted, struck
a snag in the Senate today.
Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat
of Wyoming. leading the fight for
an immediate levy on excess
profits, pointed out that Senate
leaders could not give effective
assurance of what might be done
in January. because under the
Constitution new tax bills must
originate in the House.
Without closing the door to pos
sible compromise, the Wyoming
Senator told reporters there is
such strong support for an excess
profits tax in both houses that he
believes the Senate should adopt
the pending proposal and work
out an agreement with the House
in conference.
Truman Urges Speed ON Taxes.
Meanwhile, President Truman

Truman 10 Give
Report 10 Nation
On Radio Friday
Korean War Slated
For Review During
Televised Speech
By Joseph A. Fox

President Truman will make a
report to the Nation" in radio
address at 10 pm. Friday, it was
announced at the White House
today.
The speech will be carried on
all networks and will be televised
also, Press Secretary Charles G.
Ross said.
Mr.. Ross declined to discuss it's
contents beyond saying that the
Korean war necessarily will be
dealt with at length.
House Speaker Rayburn re-
Gently suggested that he believed
it would have good psychologi-
cal effect for Mr.. Truman to go
on the air, explain the nature Of
the emergency program he had
called for from Congress, and
emphasize that he felt this met
the needs now apparent for deal
ing with the tense international
situation.
Would Ease War Scare.
The Speaker took the view that
this assurance from the Presi-
dent would tend to dissipate war
scare.
Reporters, who sought to de-
termine If there was any particu-
lar reason for the President taking
the air at this time, were told
by Mr.. Ross simply that Mr.. Tru-
man wanted to tell the public
how matters stack up.
Mr.. Ross said the fact that the
81st Congress is now winding up
its work would suggest one reason
why the President planned the
speech.
Controls, foreign policy and
taxation probably will be covered.
Second Speech.
The speech will be the second Of
its kind since the shooting started
in Korea, the President having
earlier followed up a message to
Congress outlining new. defense
needs with a broadcast in which
he explained the steps being taken.
Mr.. Ross said he did not know
whether other speeches were in
prospect.
The President had intended, 1t
was generally understood, to stump
the country again in the fall, COW
ering some of the territory Of his
May "non-political" tour and also
swinging into new areas as a part
Of the Congressional campaign.
The Korean War, however, made
this impossible.

Toward New Orleans
With 95-MiIe Winds
Storm Center Expected
To Hit Louisiunu and
Mississippi Tonight
BY the Assoeiaied Prsss

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 30-The
Gulf hurricane roared toward New
Orleans today and was, expected
to strike the Louisiana Coast this
afternoon and reach the Missis-
sippi and Alabama Coasts early
tonight.
At 1880 am. It was centered
about 165 miles south-southeast
of New Orleans, the Weather Bu-
reau said.
Winds up to 95 miles an hour
extended outward about 100 miles
to the northeast and east Of the
center. Gales extended out some
ESQ miles in the northeast quad
rant.
w. r. Stevens, chief forecaster
OF the New Orleans Weather Bu-
reau, said hurricane center is ex-
pected to pass little east Of Bur-
wood. La. this afternoon. Bur-
wood Is located in Southwest Pass
at the mouth of the Mississippi
River, some SO airline miles south
Of New Orleans.
Winds Will Rise Today.
Mr.. Stevens said the hurricanes
center would reach the Mississippi
and Louisiana coasts early to-
night.
He said winds will increase to-
day, reaching hurricane force
from New Orleans to Panama
City. Fla. this afternoon or to-
night.
Mr.. Stevens warned that tides
will be dangerously high from the
East Louisiana Coast to Apalachi-
cola, Fla. and warned that per-
sons in low places in that area
should move to higher ground i'm
mediately.
Mr.. Stevens said that normally
the Weather Bureau tried to get
hurricane warnings at least "a
hours in advance. "but this time
we may be a little shy of time" !"
Mr.. Stevens said that If the
hurricane follows the course he
expects, the Mississippi Gulf
Coast will take a lashing similar
to the one it experienced Sep
tember 10, 1947. when 21 persons
were killed and damage ran into
the millions.
Another Hurricane Veers.
At the same time another hur-
ricane, in the Atlantic east of
Bermuda, appeared to be veering
farther out to sea.
The Atlantic hurricane. $50
miles east of Hermuda, with winds
up to lis miles per hour, was
apparently moving along a north
northeasterly course at about Is
miles an hour.
The present hurricane swept
the British Island Of Antigua in
the Caribbean Sea nine days ago.
then moderated into gales, but
caused 81 million damage in
western Cuba and killed about 81
persons. In the Gulf Of Mexico
the storm again gained hurricane
force. A

Ii. Shimon Introduce,
Another Name Into
Wire-Tapping Probe
Says He Suspected on
'O'connor or O'ConneII'
Topped Brewster Phone
BY Miriom Ottenbera

Police 1t. Joseph w. Shimon
today introduced a new name
into the Senate wire-tapping in
quiry by testifying a man named
"O'Connor or O'Connell" was in
vestigating Senator Brewster,
Republican, Of Maine for repre-
SentativeS Of Howard Hughes.
1t. Shimon, in his third day of
public testimony before the
Senate wire-tapping Investigators
suddenly got 'O'Connell O,
o'Connor" into the act by saying
he suspected this man put a tar
on Senator Brewster's telephone
at the Mayfiower Hotel.
Senator Pepper. chairman of the
Wire-tapping Committee. wanted
to know why 1t. Shimon had not
mentioned this man before.
"You didn't ask me-" 1t. Shimon
replied.
Worked for Dietrich.
The police officer. formerly chief
investigator in the United States
attorneys Office, said "O'Connor or
O'Connell" worked for Noah Diet
rich. a representative Of Mr..
Hughes during the Senate War
Investigating Committees 1947 in
vestigation Of the millionaire air
plane manufacturer.
Until today the only person 1t.
Shlmon had mentioned as check
ing on Senator Brewster was Alb
ner Chick Lappin.
Lappin had denied he shadowed
the Senator.
Today. committee members and
their counsel tried q dozen ways
to shake 1t. Simmons story that
he tapped the telephone of the
Hughes party only in the course
OF trying to flnd q motive for
Lappin's alleged shadowing of
Senator Brewster.
isn't 1t a fact" asked Senator
Nicely. Democrat, of West Vir-
ginia. that the sole purpose of
tapping the Hughes phone was to
get information about the Hughes
investigation and not about what
Lappin was doing?"
'Most Important Place"
'"That is not a fact" 1t. Shimon
firmly replied.
When 1t. Shimon acknowledged
he had not tapped Lappin's home
telephone or any phone other than
those used by Hughes representa-
tiveS, committee members wanted
to know if he did not think he
might have learned something of
Lappin from his own telephone.
1t. Shimon replied that Lappin
had led him to the Mayflower and
Carlton Hotels, where Hughes rep
resentatives were staying, and it is
his opinion that where Lappin
made his contact was the most
important place to cover.
Committee Counsel Gerhard P.
van Arkel pointed out that when
1t. Shimon originally made a
statement to police about his
wire-tapping. he said the tapping
Of q telephone at the Occidental
Hotel was. part Of the same in
vestigation that took him to the
Mayf1oWer and Carlton Hotels. 1t.

Approves Of Delay
Tydings Indicates
Bill Might Be Pressed
In Special Session

The Senate Armed Services
Committee today postponed ac-
ton on universal military training
until January.
Senator Tydngs., Democrat, OF
Maryland, the committee chair
man. said the vote was 8 to 8
against pressing for action at this
time.
He announced that a subcom-
mittee would make comprehen-
sive study of the whole question

Should special session of Con-
gress be called after the Novem-

added, a drive would be made then

Truman Concurs.
The committees action in put

letters yesterday to Senator
Tydings and Chairman Vinson of
the House Armed Services Com

He told a news conference that

TOKYO. Thursday, Aug. 81
The Korean war front blazed with
action yesterday as Allied forces
lashed back at mounting North
Korean forces probing furiously
for a breakthrough.
On the worrisome northeastern
front. American and South Ko-
rean forces at Pohang launched a
Small-scale tank-infantry attack
on Reds who penetrated within
rifle range of that No. 2 United
Nations supply port.
The United States attack stalled
after gaining at least l mile north
of the city, Associated Press Core
spondent Tom Lambert said.
Gen. MacArthur's war summary
early today said Red infiltrators
had been cleared from the main
road southwest of Pohang which
had been cut by a North Korean

however, from nearby hills.
Yanks Withdrawing From Hill.
On the central front northwest
of Taegu United States 1st Cav
airy Division forces attempting to
take hill position were forced to
withdraw under heavy Red mortar
and automatic weapons fire.
Determined to clean out the
menacing enemy positions, the 1st
Cavalry vowed to renew the at
tack. The hill was 4 miles north
east of Waegwan, which is. IL
miles northwest of Taegu.

committed about 10000. men to
the side.
Another 10000 Reds rolled down
from the mountains on Taegu
from IS miles to the north of the
central front city.
More Communists-possibly up
to three divisions to join
the battle.
Red Deadline Near,
By order of North Korean
Premier Kim II Sung the Reds
have until midnight to wipe out
United Nations forces by the end
Of August.
American Negro and South
Korean troops threw the North
Koreans off Battle Mountain near
Haman, 10 miles northwest of
Masan port on the southern
coast.
1t was the eighth time in two
weeks Battle Mountain changed
hands. It was swapped twice yes

Whole Warfront Comes to Life.
The whole Korean warfront,
which winds 120 miles through the
mountains westward from Pohang
to Waegwan and then southwark
to the coast, seemed to have come
to life.
Red probers tried to cross the
Naktong River between Waegwan
and Battle Mountain. They were
knocked back by United States
artillery and riflemen of the
United States Oath infantry and
1st Cavalry Divisions.
The Reds tried the long battle
line at all points.
They have 10000 to 10000
men on the line. Another 10000,
mostly raw recruits, may join
this force soon.
A token force of 1900 British
troops who arrived Tuesday have
not yet gone into battle.
More U. N. Troops Rushed.
More United Nations troops are
being rushed to back up American

carried the brunt of the fighting.
The roaring, close-quarter bat
tie for Pohang seemed to be the
main Communist effort.
But the ominous threat to Tae-
gu from the north was alarming.

ANCHORAGE, LOCAL CLUB JOIN FORCES
 FOR GUN PROJECT

Constructed and initiated all on a single Sunday afternoon-that's the plan for the outdoor rifle range, to be built next Sunday, July 23, through the joint efforts of the Matanuska Valley Sports men and the Anchorage Rifle and Pistol Club.
 The two clubs plan to make joint use of the range, to be built on the l. M. Sandvik farm. Mem bers of the local Sportsmen's club will meet at the Sandvik farm promptly at noon, equipped with axes for the construction work and rifles for the practice session.
 The Sandvik farm is located on the second Butte road, Kenneth Westenbarger of the range com mittee reminded.
 MT. Westenbarger urged that club members make all possible use of the range prior to the coming hunting season. He con- asiders it highly important as a safety factor, he said. The range Will dllOW cluO uleI1DGfS to ISSC guns unused since last hunting season, and to get their shooting eyes in practice again.
 The Anchorage Rifle and Pistol Club will share the local range, because they have no suitable To- cation anywhere near that city. They expect to shoulder half of the construction costs and to do their share of the work of con- struction.
 MT. Westenbarger said the joint effort is expected to lead to some excellent inter-club shooting com petition during the coming sum- mer months. The two clubs waged a neck and neck battle for shoot ing honors on the indoor ranges last winter. They carried on a Winter-long session of home and home matches, with the local team eventually emerging as the top team of the two.

Sportsnnen Look for Someone Who Will Erect ng-Postponed Ski Tow

Disposition of the ski tow, parts for which were purchased and assembled by the Matanuska Val ley Sportsmen last year, but which were never installed at the tow site, was the principal sub ject discussed at Mondays board meeting of the Matanuska Valley Sportsmen.
 President Bill Smith reported that he had talked with the vari- ous organizations of the Valley in- terested in youth activities. He said the KiWanis Club of Palmer had expressed interest in financ- ing the installation of the tow on the hills above Little Susitna Lodge. Club members asked for specific figures on the cost of in- stallation and the number of man. hours involved.
 The Kiwanis Club stipulated that, should they undertake the installation, KiWanians only will undertake the work Once the tow is installed, the club does not WISH IO De feSpOnSlDle TOT US Op- eration or maintenance.
 Charles Dillon, adult sponsor of the Seven-Eighty-Niners, teen age organization, said the teen group would be interested in assisting in installation of the tow, only if the organization would be given an option to purchase the tow and to operate a concession there this winter.
 Board members agreed to get the necessary facts and figures Kiwanians need from Russ Dow and Ralph Goodrich and to re- present the matter to the club at it's Monday meeting.
 Board members concurred in the opinion that the Sportsmen
Valley frontiersman., 1950-07-21

probably should retain ownership of the tow, and should assume responsibility for its winter op- eration and maintenance. The general opinion was that the club could hire a watchman-operator for Weekends next winter, and still show a profit on the opera tion of the tow.
 The board took action to pay the Colony Day committee it's share of the profits of the days shoot. The action was approved over the objection of Vern Don aldson.
 It was announced that the game dinner committee will meet with the board of directors at the regu- lar monthly board meeting on Aug. 8, to make assignments for the coming game dinner.
 Members of that committee, in addition to board members, in clude:
 Mrs. Foster Sims, Mrs. Clair Stock, Mrs. Russell Felzien, Mrs. Harold Winegarner, Mrs Kenneth Westenbarger, Mrs. Roy Brock, Viola Daniels, MT. and Mrs. Harry Duff, Eugene Kirsch, Frank Gag non, Bob Burkholder, Bill Cook, Ben Cabo, MT. and Mrs. Ralph Dye and Bud Lacher.
 MT. Donaldson reported that the Matanuska Valley Farmers Co., Operating Association had donat- ed plate glass for the construction of a fish display tank for a club exhibit at the coming Matanuska Valley fair. He was authorized, by action of the board, to pur- chase all additional materials needed for the construction of the tank.

 MT. Burkholder estimated that there were approximately 150 plcnlckers who enjoyed the fish course provided by the Sports men to augment the contents of picnic baskets. Following the afternoon at Barry's Resort at Finger Lake, club members and guests adjourned to the Palmer Gymnasium for an evening rec ord dance, to round out the day.
