He told reporters he would seek
court action to stop Boudakian

When informed, however, that
his daughter had moved in with
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Ayash in
nearby Fall River, Mr.. France
said he probably would not seek
court action.
Mr.. France had threatened
legal action this afternoon when
his daughter returned to her home

Nevertheless, she rode away
with Boudakian to his home.
Shirley May said later that her
visit followed assurances from her
parents that she could get her
belongings without interference.

told me I couldn't leave the house.

A woman released from CALM

being observed for taking sleeping
pills was back in Gallinger for
mental observation last night.
The patient was Mrs. Alice
Smith Heffernan, 80, of 8O6 Sew
enteenth street NV, who suf-
fered flash burns when the gas
stove in the kitchen of her apart
ment exploded.
Mrs. Heffernan told police she
lit a cigarette in the kitchen.
She was reported in fair condi-
ton at Gallinger with severe
burns of her hands, arms and
face.
The blast left the kitchen vir-

indications of activity in that area
and that Soviet Russia was send
ing large supplies of weapons to
the Korean Reds.
1t began to appear evident that
the disclosure of these reports by
the Army at this time might have
something to do with the con-
tinual discussions of the Korean
war at the United Nations Secur-
ity Council. The Soviet has main
tained that the Korean Reds had

Republicans Will Vote
Against Profits Tax,
Senator Mi|Iikin Says
BY the Assoeioted Press

Senator Millikin, Republican. Of
Colorado, yesterday predicted that
a majority of Republicans will
vote against an immediate excess
profits tax on corporations. The
hot issue is due for a Senate show
down this week.
Senator Millikin is former
chairman of the tax-writing Sen
ate Finance Committee and heads
the formal conference of AZ COP
senators.
He told reporter that, al
though he hasn't made formal
poll, he is confident majority
of the Republicans will vote
against it now, although sizeable
group may favor it."
Senators O'Mahoney, Democrat
Of Wyoming. and Connally, Dem
ocrat of Texas, are urging the So
called super tax" or excess prof
its levy, on corporate profits to
curb what they call "profiteering"
and to raise added defense rev.
enues.
Their plan for the Government
to take as high as IS per cent of
corporate profits above the "nor-
NAL" level of recent years would
be an addition to the $4,508, ,000,-
900 tax boost bill-applying to in
dividuals and corporations-now
pending in the Senate.
The vote on the O'Mahoney-
Connally excess profits proposal
may be close.
Senator O'Mahoney contends
the excess profits levy would
bring in an additional $5.5 billion
in a full year and possibly So
billion for the. last half of this
year.
Chairman George of the Sen
ate Finance Committee wants to
delay action on sthe excess profits
tax until Congress meets in jan
uary. He has threatened to block
the main bill if the excess profits
tax is attached.
Senator George insists that full
hearings and careful drafting of
the highly technical legislation is
required before such action.
Senator Millikin, backing Sen
ator George, said that because
of faulty drafting, II believe the
(O'Mahoney- Connally) amend
ment now would net only about
$50 million more than the present
bill"
Informed of this by reporters,
Senator 'Mahoney replied: that's
baloney."
A showdown in the tax battle
probably will come Monday or
Tuesday.
Thus far the Senate appeared
willing to go along with the main
bill-drafted after President Tru-
man asked a tax hike to help meet
costs of the Korean fighting and
mobilization.
The bill itself would hike tax,
rates To- Nield an estimated 50, 745 a
600, 600 additional from individuals
and another SIS billion from a.
similar hike in tax rates on cor
porations, and obtain additional
millions by plugging present tax.

Pentagon Optimistic
After Collins, Sherman
Report on Korean War
BY John A. Giles

A new spirit of optimism over
the situation in Korea has become
evident at the Pentagon Bulldog
since the return of Gen. Collins.
Army Chief of Staff, and Admiral
Sherman. chief of Naval Opera
tions, from a visit to the war front
and conferences with Gen. Mac
Arthur.
1t was reported that Gen. Col
Inns and Admiral Sherman have
told President Truman that the
situation now looks better than
at any time since the start of
hostilities. But they cautioned
against over-optimism and warned
that a general Allied offensive is
not in the immediate offing.
Defense Department spokesmen
said constant bombardment of
North Korea's factory cities is
forcing the enemy to disperse his
war industries to the safety of
neutral" Manchuria, beyond the
legal range of United Nations
planes.
Red Armor Is Slowed.
Allied planes also are taking a
greater toll of enemy troops
through close support of Allied
ground troops, 1t was said. The
rapid pace with which Red ar
mored columns moved in the
early days of the war has been
slowed greatly.
Gen. Collins and Admiral Sher-
man have been high in their praise
of the oath Infantry Division
which was thrown piecemeal into
the fighting initially, and of the
South Koreans themselves. Ameri-
can troops, as they become battle
tested, are becoming more effec-
tive and Red inf1ltrations are nc
longer the dread maneuver they
have been in the past, they re-
ported. The Americans are learn
ing how to cope with such situa-
tions.
/. Meanwhile, the enemy was re-
ported beginning to have his sup
ply troubles as the Reds moved
into the mountain country closer
to the port of Pusan. 1t is getting
more difficult for the Reds to live
off the land as they have been
throughout the campaign.
Optimism Somewhat Subdued.
You can't pick rice on noun
tain tops" commented a high mill
tary leader.
However, the optimism was
somewhat subdued in high quar-
ters because of fear that the pub
lie might expect a general Of
fensive overnight.
1T appears that public reaction
swings from extreme pessimism
with local Withdrawals to over
optimism when We have a local
victory" said another high official.
Gen. Macarthur now has some
reserve forces at his command to
throw into the breach when and
if the Communists mass for an
all-out drive to take Pusan and
throw the United Nations forces
into the sea. The build-up of
strength will give him more and
more of such forces to meet sucn
attacks.
Macarthur Timetable Indefinite.
Gen. Collins said that Gen.
Macarthur has not said when he
thought he might be able to throw
the Communists back. He was
reported originally to have given
target dates ranging all the way
from late fall to early spring.

"A visit to Europe gives one the
