Bag With Atomic Data
Is Reported Stolen
BY the Associoted Press

LONDON. Aug. g. Scotland
Yard hunted today a large brown
suitcase containing atomic secrets
which repeatedly was stolen yes
terday from an American scientist
aboard a train.
Scotland Yard was silent, other
than to say it was looking for the
suitcase. The British press said
the suitcase contained a briefcase
filled with atomic information.
Owner of the case variously was
reported to be an American named
Frank Greenleaf, F. w. Greentrees
and Frank Miller Greenlees.
We've never heard of him, -
said a spokesman at the American
Embassy.
Qn Washington the Atomic
Energy Commission said today
there was nothing to indicate
that any of its secret docu-
ments had been lost on a train
in EnglandD
The suitcase repeatedly was
taken from a first class compart-
ment on the London to Blackpool
train. The owner stepped out Of
the compartment for a few min
utes. When he returned, it was
gone.

A CHASTITY ghostly figure slumped

At Emergency Hospital, where

Mrs. Balm, who resides at 1912 U

dummy to frighten one of the

GE Ready TO Double
World War II Output
BY The Assoeiofed Press

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, Aug.
s.-The huge General Electric Co.
is ready to double its World War
II production rate in the event of
all-out national mobilization.
President Charles E. Wilson said
yesterday that GE had accelerated
its mobilization planning because
of the Korean fighting. He added
that the company now was
geared more effectively for war
production than at any time in
its peacetime history.
About 20 per cent of GE's cur
rent business is defense work, MIR.
Wilson said. He reported that
some defense contracts had been
increased since the start of the
Korean war. Details were not
revealed for security reasons.
Mr.. Wilson said GE had ex-
panded from 81 to lis plants
since 194l, and now had about
100000 workers. About half that
number were employed before the
last war.

.0ne-Year Limit Put
On Control Powers
By House Committee
Other Provisions Follow
Senate Bill; Vote Due
Today or Tomorrow
By J. A. O'Leory

The House Banking Committee
voted today to put a one-year
time limit on the broad discre-
tionary price, wage and rationing
powers both houses now appear
likely to give President Truman.
The Senate Banking Committee
has recommended the home front
control bill remain in force for
two years.
With this one basic difference
between the two branches, the
House was ready to resume debate
on the issue this afternoon where
it left off Friday.
Administration leaders would
like to pass the bill late today
but admitted it may take until
tomorrow. The Senate is to begin
floor action tomorrow.
Passage Likely Within Week.
The House and Senate Banking
Committees now are in substantial
agreement on a bill which would
give President Truman the free
hand he insisted on to decide when
and to what extent prices and
wages should be regulated, and
when rationing of scarce articles
should be applied.
In both the House and Senate
these committee decisions are
subject to possible change, but all
indications are Congress will send
the President a discretionary bill
within a week.
The first thing the House did
today was to defeat again the plan
of Representative Kinnon,
Democrat, of California, which
would have required Mr.. Truman
to begin applying price and wage
controls when the cost of living
rises five per cent above June Is.
This cleared the track for House
approval later today or tomorrow
of the discretionary bill.
Mr.. McKinnon Endorsed the dis
cretionary bill as finally worked
out in committee this morning,
and asked the House to reject his
own plan, which the President op-
posed when it was tentatively
agreed to last week.

u. 5. Payment 10 D. {.
Reduced ST. Million
By Joint Conferees
Economy Advocates
In House Score Point,
Citing War Expenses
By Don S. Worren

House and Senate confereeS to-
day agreed to cut the Federal
payment to the District for this
year by S1.2 million.
The action, taken in one brief
meeting, represented a victory for
economy advocates in the House.
The House originally had re-
duced the lump sum payment
from S12 million to $10.8 million
but the Senate in its action on
the omnibus appropriation bill
had restored it to the full $12
million.
Increase Provided by Law.
The conferees acted in the face
Of the 1947 District Revenue Act
which fixed the Federal share at
$12 million. The increase in the
Federal payment to this figure
was ordered in legislation which
laid heavy new taxes on residents.
Some of the conferees, it was
reported, argued that to reduce
the Federal share would con-
stitute a breach of faith" but
they lost their fight. The war
in Korea furnished a persuasive
argument for all possible domestic
economies, members said.
Further, members said, the re-
port of the conferees would de-
clare that the cut was mot a
precedent.
Beginning of Series.
Also, there were arguments that
while the Federal payment was
fixed at $12 million in the 1947
tax act, this did not really
amount to basic law, but was an
authorization subject to change.
This was the beginning of what
may be a tedious series of con-
ferences between the two bodies
over their many differences in the
big budget bill for the Federal
agencies,
The Federal payment to the
District is contained in the first
chapter of this bill, although the
spending program for the city is
outlined in a separate bill, already
enacted into law.

Taft Asks Tax Boost
OF S13 Billion Yearly
To Finance Rearming
Poy-os-Y You-Go Plan
Would Roise U. S. Levies
To Record $50 Billion
BY the Associated Press

Senator Taft, Republican, OF
Ohio. proposed today $13 billion
to $14 billion a year increase in
taxes, to put the Korean war and
Americas rearmament program
on a pay-as-you-go basis.
This would increase the an
nual tax load to about $50 billion,
far above the previous S44.2 billion
record top in 1945, the last year
of World War II. The Treasury
has estimated tax collections this
year, under present rates. at 1852
billion.
Senator Taft described Presi-
dent Truman's SIS billion tax
boosting measure, now under con-
sideration by the Senate Finance
Committee. as merely stopgap,"
with heavier taxes to come later,
Meanwhile, Secretary of the
Treasury Snyder said at news
conference that a comprehensive
tax plan will be sent to Congress
in January and "it will certainly
include some type of tax to pre-
vent undue war profits"
Knows of No Plan Now.
Mr.. Snyder said he has no per-
sonal knowledge of any immedi-
ate plan to submit an excess
profits tax, but said the President
has made it known he will move
at the proper time to prevent un-
due war profits.
In suggesting his pay-as-you-goI
plan, Senator Taft emphasized
that not all the increased tax
collections would be by raising
rates. He said a large part of
the increase will come from
broad expansion of the economy
in the rearmament program.
mo one likes to increase taxes,
the chairman of the Senate Re-
publican Policy Committee said,
"but today there appears to be no
alternative in view of the mess in
which we find ourselves through
out the world and the strong posi-
ton in which our policy has
placed the Russian Communists.
The President is asking $40
billion more for the armed forces
and, in view of the world Situa-
ton, it looks as if we would have
to spend at the rate of at least
$25 billion on our own forces for
a number of years.
Increase Estimated.
Military aid to foreign coun-
tries is now requested at the rate
of 81 billion and other expenses
incidental to preparedness GER
tainly means a gross increase of
SIS billion.
Savings in domestic expenses
are even more important now, but
it is hard to see how much savings
could exceed SIS billion a year.
That means that we face a net
increase of $40 billion in our Gov
ernment expense, giving us an an
nual expenditure, when we get
going of $50 billion"
There is no reason at all why
tax system should not be devised
to meet our present expenses as
we see them now.
Chairman George of the Senate
Finance Committee spoke out
strongly against consideration now
of an excess profits tax. He said
conditions may justify one later,
but it can't be effective before 1851
even if passed now-"unless we
want to throw a monkey wrench
into the economy"
