To Ask Interim Bill,
Mr.. Snyder said Mr.. Truman's
request would be for an interim
tax increase to go into effect as
soon as possible.
The Secretary said he is in ac-
cord with congressional leaders
that no excess profits tax on cor
porationS should be included in
the interim bill because the meas
ure should be passed quickly. He
said excess profits tax proposals
are so complicated they would
mean extended and delaying de-
bate. He also indorsed proposals
to hold excise taxes at their pres
ent levels. close ''loopholes" to
collect more taxes, and speed. up

The Secretary indicated the tax
increases will amount to well over
SIS billion a year.

The move for an interim tax
bill was spurred by President Tru-

French Plan TO Raise
Army 10 Il Divisions
To Be Given Council
By Paul GhoIi
Foreign Correspondent Of The sfar and
the chieeae Dolly News

HiS SHtS09O S0H1 NSWS
PARIS, July 25.-A plan for in
creaSing Frances Army from
divisions to 81 by the end of 1851
will be put before the Atlantic
pact Council of Deputies by its
French representatives. The
council, created by the Atlantic
powers foreign ministers at their
May meeting, opened it's initial
sessions in London TO-DAY.
The French are expected to an
nounce to the council two meas
ures they intend to take in coming
weeks, measures considered vital if
the plan is to stand any chance of
realization.
The first is extension Of military
service from the present one-year
period to Is months-the mini
mum time needed, all military ex-
pertS here agree, to train present
highly technical armies.
250,0O8 to Be Called Up.
The second is calling up the
second half of the 1850 class Of
conscripts, scheduled to be called
next November, two months ahead
of time. This class amounts to
approximately 250,000 men.
In case of emergency before
the years end a further strength
of 250, 900 fully trained men would
be made available simply by re-
calling contingents freed in April.
This gives the French virtual
possibility of l million men under
arms by the end of the year
if circumstances warrant-tWo-
thirds of them fully trained.
Full-scale French military eff
fort at this juncture is being
hampered by two obstacles:
The first is purely moral. The
Korean war has come suddenly
and public opinions remains un-
prepared for the sacrifices bound
to be asked.
Pleven to Ask More Funds.
Much public confusion has been
created even in non-Communist
ranks by Communist peace propa-
ganda. But the people are always
ready to be convinced by logical
arguments of the necessity for
military effort. Little has been
done so far, however, President
Auriol's weekend speech of warn
ing having been the first tangible
indication of danger.
The second obstacle is material
lack of money. This years mill
tary budget is only $50 billion
francs ($1.285 billion) less than
Switzerland, Spain or Yugoslavia.
Additional money will be asked
from the Assembly by Premier
Pleven-Some 140 billion francs
($400 million) before the end of
the year. But this amount still
is insufficient to insure mainte-
nance and arms for the increased
military contingents.

Breeder Gets 3 Years
For Collaborating
In Safe-Cracking

James o. Breeder, former Mont
gomery County police corporal,
was sentenced to eight years in
the Maryland Penitentiary yester-
day for collaborating on a safe
cracking last summer with three
other men.
Circuit Court Judge Charles w.
Woodward told the 33-year-old
Coast Guard veteran:
You have brought disgrace to
the whole Montgomery County
police force. You were doing the
very thing you were paid to pre-
vent. You were false to your
trust"
Breeder, who lives in Takoma
Park, pleaded nolo contendere
to larceny and HOUSEKEEPING
charges. He was tried with three
other men who pleaded guilty to
similar charges.
Albert w. Neville, IS, of the
100 block of Wayne place Sc. was
sentenced to three years in the
Maryland House of Correction.
Joseph A. Fabianich, 20, of the
1400 block of Girard street NV. :,
was given an indeterminate SEN
tence in the State Reformatory for
Males, not to exceed two years.
Jack Albert Taylor, 80, of the 100
block of Wooten avenue, Bethesda,
was given a sentence deferment
pending the arrival of an addi-
tional witness.
The charges against the four
men grew out of a safecracking
last August 26 at the Devlin Lum-
Der Co., 1888 Bethesda avenue, in
which $347 was stolen, and several
thousand dollars worth of checks
and notes were destroyed.
Breeder, who had been on the
county police force for six years,
told the court the scheme for
helping a robbery had been
preached by Taylor. He said
Taylor told him he knew some
big guys in New York who could
be worked into larger crimes later
on.
Il thought I could maybe get
into the detective force, and
planned to tell the department
just before the big job" Breeder
said.
