.Conferees Strike Snaq
Threatening Delay on
1ax-Boosting Bill
StoIemote Develops
On Treatment of Family
Business Partnerships
BY the Associated Press

A Senate-House conference COM
mittee hit an unexpected snag to-
day that threatened delay of final
action on the S. billion tax-boost-
ing bill.
Chairman George of the Sen
ate Finance Committee said, as
the conferees ended their morn
ing session without completing
work on the bill: 1T doesn't really
look now as though we'l ever get
an agreement"
But another session was callet
for later in the day, and som,
members still were hopeful that al
rough spots in the tax bill will b.
ironed out at that time.
Agree on Major Items.
The conferees already hav,
agreed on the major items in the
measure-increases of about S;
billion year in individual income
taxes and a boost of 81 billion ir
corporation normal levies-but
they became stalemated, at least
temporarily, on the tax treatment
of family business partnerships.
The Senate put a provision in
the bill requiring Federal tax COL
lectorS to recognize true partner
ships" Some lawmakers protested
that this action would permit the
owner of business to take in his
minor children as partners as q
means OF dividing the income and
reducing the taxes on the business
Whether the situation might
delay the adjournment of Con-
gress, planned for this week end
was not clear.
Dividend Tax Set.
Meanwhile, the estimated size oi
the tax bill was revised upward
from $4,508, 100000 to IS billion
Also the confereeS yesterday ap-
proved a 10 per cent withholding
tax on corporation dividends.
This is expected to bring in ar
extra $190 million a year from
persons who dodge or forget tc
pay income taxes on dividends
they receive.
The House plans to take up the
conference tax compromise to-
morrow, with the Senate acting
later.
In other actions yesterday
the Conference Committee also
voted to:
/. Tax the investment income
of life insurance companies over
the last three years, 1948 to 1850,
to yield an extra $40 million for
the Treasury. A large part of such
income has gone untaxed in this
time because of the way a special
tax formula for life insurance
companies has worked.
2. Tighten up on the operations
of tax-exempt charitable trusts
and foundations, to prevent them
from being used for the benefit of
their creators, and from making
investments of risky nature.

.Anti-Red Curbs
voted, 312-20;
Senate Gets Bill
House Acts Quickly;
Trumun Calls for
Aid Rider Rejection
ByJ. A. OLeoN

The House today overwhelm-
ingly approved the Communist
control bill. one of three major
issues Congress must settle before
it adjourns.
The vote was 312 to 20.
AS the anti-subversive bill
moved to the Senate, which may
send it to the White House before
evening, it was still not definitely
known whether President Truman
will sign or veto it.
Backers of the legislation are
determined, however, to keep
Congress here in an effort to over
ride if it is vetoed. Today's top.
heavy vote made it almost GER
tain the House would override it
by the necessary two-thirds vote.
Defense Fund Next on List.
The House also expects to act
this afternoon on the SIT billion
supplemental defense appropria-
tions bill, involving a fight over
the Wherry amendment to stop
American economic aid to any
country which lets arms or mill
tary materiel flow to Russia.
President Truman stepped into
the fight over that provision to-
day by sending letters to two
Democratic leaders urging Con-
greSS to kill the amendment,
which the Senate added to the
bill.
The President declared This
amendment is of such grave i'm
portance and is fraught with such
danger to the United States and
to world peace, that feel I must
make a special request to Con-
gress to eliminate it,
The President addressed his
communication to Chairman Can
non of the House Appropriations
Committee and Chairman Nickel
lar of the Senate Appropriations
Committee.
Would Create Trade Embargo.
mo one can quarrel with the
ostensible purpose of the amend
ment-to weaken the war-making
potential of Communist domi-
mated countries-and on the sur
face the amendment may seem to
be a plausible means for accom-
plishing that end" the President
wrote. But the fact is that 1t
would defeat its own purpose and
accomplish substantially the op-
posite result of that intended
it would weaken the free nations
more than it would weaken the
Soviet bloc"
The President explained that
the amendment applies not only
to arms and ornaments, but to
any articles that could be used for
arms production and this latter Is
so sweeping that the prohibition,
if effective, would require a sub
Stantially complete embargo on
trade between Western and East
ern Europe"
Highlights of the Communist
control bill which seems likely to
become law, either with or with
out the Presidents signature, are:
Cd Require Communists to reg
lister within 80 days; (2) bar them
from appointive Government jobs
or from working in defense
plants; 90 empower the President
to intern suspected SubverSives in
the event of insurrection, invasion
or war; "a deny passports to

portation laws.

| hausted dummy's trumps. In order
to return to his hand, South was
obliged to ruff himself in with a
heart. With one remaining trump,
he still held forth the hope that
each of the opponents would fol-
low. But when this did not come
of, he was down two tricks.
1t would seem to me that after
the second diamond ruff, when
East's queen fell, it was a good bet
that the ace was now bare. There
fore. instead of weakening his
hand with another ruff, South
should lead dummy's last trump
and draw Vests remaining trump.
A diamond should then be con-
ceded, but South would still retain
trump for re-entry with which to
cash his three remaining diamonds.
True enough, East might still
have the ace, 10 of diamonds if he
had falsecarded in diamonds and
had held four originally. Then de-
clarer couldn't make the hand
with any play. Therefore, on the
suggested line of play, he would
be defeated an extra trick If East
also had two spades. At a re-
doubled, vulnerable contract, that
is a considerable factor and should
certainly enter into declarer's cal
culations. Nevertheless, the better
chance of bringing home the con-
tract, in the eyes of this optimistic
observer, is sufficient reason for
taking the risk of going down an
other trick

Where declarer has q choice OF
developing either of two suits
many times it will appear on the
surface that the chances of sue
cess are equal and that the choice
SINNERS down to a mere guess
In such cases the scales may be
tipped one way or the other by
the f1imsiest sort of evidence.
In today's hand declarer was
called upon to guess which of two
suits would break evenly, spades
or diamonds. A great number OF
points hung on his choice, which
unfortunately proved to be the
wrong one.
Why South chose to open with
a five-card spade suit. when he
held a diamond suit seven cards
long, cannot tell you. I am here
to report the facts. Thereafter the
bidding proceeded along more or
less natural lines, with the posi-
BILE exception of North's leap to
four spades. We are not inclined
to make such a call with four in
different trumps. Normally, this
response Is based on holding of
no less than five of partners suit,
or, at the very least, four to high
honor.
South's redouble, with which we
are heartily in accord, was made
on the expectation that North
would produce at least five trumps,
inasmuch as it was known that he
lacked a high honor.
The opening heart lead was
ruffed by declarer, who observed
that he could not resort to a cross
ruff, for such line Of play could
yield no more than 10 tricks at
best, nine spades and the ace of
clubs. This would leave him one
short of his goal.
1t was apparent, therefore, that
success of his contract would de-
pend upon the ability to establish
diamonds, because of the difficulty
of communication between North
and South Except by weakening
the trump holding. 1t was also
clear that the hand could not be
won unless one of the two suits
would break evenly.
Declarer's first step was to ruff
a diamond in dummy, return to his
hand with trump and ruff an
other dial mond. Declarer now
reached the point of decision. He
chose to ruff himself in with a
heart and ruff another diamond.
