Last Bar 10 Greece,
Turkey Joining Pact
NATo MiIitory Leaders
Reported Working on
New Mid-Eost Setup
BY John N. Hiehtower
As.ocioted Press Stoff Writer

OTTAWA, Sept. 19.-The last
obstacle to an Atlantic council
recommendation that Greece and
Turkey be brought into the North
Atlantic treaty apparently was
swept away today by a Danish
government decision to vote for
such action.
Military leaders of the Atlantic
alliance were reported already at
work on plans to set up a new
Middle East command centered on
Turkey but designed to create a
common strategy for anti-Com-
munist forces throughout that
area of the world.
These plans, it was learned,
were tentatively shaped up by the
top-level standing group of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
tion military committee. The
central idea of a Middle East COM
mand, separate from Gen. Eisen-
hower's Western European defense
structure, is understood to have
gotten the backing of the United
States Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Norway Won't Use Veto.
OF the II nations in the Atlantic
alliance, 10 had declared Mon
day and yesterday their support
for an American proposal to ex-
tend the alliance into the Middle
East, although there were various
criticisms of the project. An 1lth
country, Norway, objected. but
made clear that it alone would

his observations about G. o. P.
presidential hopefuls after a visit
with President Truman at which
he said, some politics" was dis

What about Ike Eisenhower ?"
he was asked after his slap at
q. o. p. possibilities.
What is he," Mr.. Flynn re-
sponded, "I've been trying for six
years to find out and don't know
yet whether he is a Democrat or

London Press Demands Details
OnKing Georges Lung MoIody
Concern Grows After
Nine Doctors Report
Structural Chances
BY the Asseeiatsd Press

LONDON, Sept. 19.-Several
London newspapers demanded to-
day that King George WIS sub
jects be told more about his illness.
A wave of concern swept the
nation on the heels of a medical
bulletin from the kings doctors
reporting graphically that "struc-
tural changes" have occurred in
one of his lungs.
The king had no public engage
ments today but was reported to
be up and around at Buckingham
Palace. Outside, a small crowd
milled throughout the day.
Lord Beaverbrook' mass circu-
lation Evening Standard declared
in an editorial that more specific
information should be released as
soon as possible" about what is
wrong with the King.
"Rumor feeds on ignorance, :"
said the Standard. The British
peoples all over the world should
be told the facts"
The Evening Star said "it is to
be hoped" that the doctors will
continue to keep us informed as
fully as possible on his progress"
The Evening News suggested

can headache, not ours"
Asked if he thought specifically
if President Truman could beat
Eisenhower, he said firmly che
could beat anybody"
Mr.. Flynn said that he told the
President that New York State
would support anything he wanted
to do next year, but that the
President gave no hint on whether
he would be candidate.
"He smiled and said nothing,
he said.
Mr.. Flynn told questioners he
did not ask President Truman if
he proposed to seek another
nomination, because "it's none of
my business" AS for whether he
thought President Truman would
run, he responded: Anybody who
tries to guess that, knows what
Russia will do next"
Earlier, the President saw James
A. Farley, another former Demo-
cratic national chairman but the
mastermind of Franklin D. Roose-
velt's first bid for the presidency
said politics was not discussed.

eight MICS. Four made runs on
the Allied planes. Capt. Skeen

Soon after, 81 American F-86

Senate Gets New Bill.
To Raise S5.6 Billion
Additional Revenue
Committee Is Doubtful
Of Goining More Funds
From Tox on Incomes
By Cecil HolIond

The Senate Finance Committee
today submitted a new general
tax boosting bill estimated tc
yield $5.506, ,000,0 a year. In its
report the committee expressed
doubts about "the feasibility of
raising any substantial additional
amounts of revenue from income
tax sources"
The estimated revenue from
the Senate bill was nearly $500
million less than previous esti-
mates had been.
The report pointed out that
three revenue bills since the out
break of the Korean war have
brought income tax burdens of
most corporations and individuals
near the World War II peak and
for many such taxpayers rates
above the maximum imposed dur
ing that period.
Must Trim Expenses.
"As a result. your committee
has serious doubts as to the feasi-
bility of raising any substantial
additional amounts of revenue
from income tax sources" the re-
port said. This is said, although
it is recognized that present ex-
penditure estimates made by the
executive departments indicate
very substantial additions to Fed
eral expenditures next year.
I'm view of this, your commit
tee believes that every effort must
be made to reduce expenditures" "

British Election
Is Reported Set
For October Is
Decision Not Official
Yet, Spokesman for
Prime Minister Says
BY the Assoeioted Press

LONDON, Sept. 19.-Britain will
have general election October
l25, with Winston Churchill's Con-
servative Party bidding to oust the
Labor government of Prime Min
ister Attlee, an informed source
reported today.
The report came from the lobby
parliamentary correspondent of
the British Press Association, who
usually writes with official guild
ance. Mr.. Attlee's press spokes-
man. asked for comment. said
there is nothing official-yet."
Two London newspapers said
the October Is date had been
IchoSen.
Reports the election was in the
ofhng spurred buying on the Lon
don Stock Market. Most sections
of the domestic list rallied strong
ly. obviously in the hope that the
governments freeze of dividends
would not become law. British
government bonds went down
fractions all along the line as
investors pulled out their money
to get aboard a mild stock boom.
Hopes to Reduce Resentment.
The apparent willingness of the
Labor government to risk an elec-
ton so soon indicates that Mr..
Attlee's party is reasonably hope
full by that time of overcoming
some of the current popular re-
sentiment at the Labor regime.
Such resentment has been re-
flected in recent public opinion
polls, which claimed that the Con-
servatives would outdistance the
Laborites by a wide margin in a
national election.
Mr.. Attlee's visit last night with
ailing King George vi at Bucking-
ham Palace was taken here as a
sign that he was about ready to-
call for an election. BY British
law he must ask the King to dis
solve Parliament and make an
election possible.
Mr.. Attlee presided at a cabinet
meeting today, and although half
the cabinet ministers are out of
the country or away on business
or vacation, it seemed likely that
election plans were discussed.

Britain's Laborites came to
power in l945. with a narrow mar
gin over Mr.. Churchill's Conserva-
tives. They retained the power at
national elections in February,
1850, with a still smaller margin.
The Laborites' edge over their OPP
ponents in.the House Of Commons
is so small that the government
often has faced critical tests OF
confidence in a constant attack by
the Conservatives.
Mr.. Attlee could have decided
to try to hang on for the full
flve-year period allotted British
governments, or until February,
1855. but he would be forced to
call an election at a time he
might not want it If the Con-
servativeS succeeded in over
throwing him by non-confi-
dence vote.
The Labor government is hav-
ing internal worries, too, with a
split on rearmament policies and
even on domestic issues.
Labor Party headquarters al
ready is preparing elections cam
paign plans. Party officials have
said they could be ready by
October.
