Fight for Boost
In Excess Profits
Tax Launched
O'Mohoney Seeks to
Restore $730 Million
Committee Slash
By J. A. O'Leor

The Senate tackled one of the
major fights in the tax bill to-
day when Senator O'Mahoney,
Democrat. of Wyoming moved to
restore $730 million of excess
profits taxes eliminated in the
Finance Committee.
If he succeeds, his action will
put back nearly half of the SIT
billion by which the Senate COM
mittee reduced the new tax yield.
The House had voted for $72 bill
lion in new revenue. The Senate
committee recommended a S55 bill
lion bill
The O'Mahoney move requires
two separte actions. One would
knockout a series Of relief provi-
sions which are estimated to re-
duce excess profits taxes under
existing law by $120 million.
Faces Strong Fight.
His second proposal would re-
store $610 million of new revenue
the House bill would raise by low
ering the excess tax exemption
from IS per cent to rs per cent
of base period earnings. The base
period consists of the three best
years in the four-year period, 1946
to 1949.
Committee members in both
parties are expected to offer strong
resistance to the O'Mahoney
moves. Senator O'Mahoney be-
lieves he has "a good chance" Of
winning, but a long debate may
precede the voting.
After four days of debate, the
Senate succeeded late yesterday
in taking these steps:
l. Voted to tax the undis-
tributed earnings of mutual saw
ings banks and building and loan
associations above a reserve of at
least 10 per cent. The vote was
so to 10.
2. Approved by voice vote a tax
on the earnings of co-operatives
which have been neither dis
tributed nor allocated to patrons.
An effort by Senator Williams,
Republican. of Delaware, to
tighten the exemptions on CO.
operatives failed, 70 to 7.
Controversial Proposals Pending,
More than score of highly con-
troversial amendments are still
on the presiding officers desk,
however, and may keep the bill
before the Senate all week unless
an agreement to limit debate is
reached.
Senate Majority Leader McFar-
land failed yesterday in an effort
to put 40-minute limitation on
each amendment. but he may sue
ceed in getting a more liberal
agreement today.
AS the debate went on, reports
from Government agencies yester-
day showed that both the rate of
defense spending and income from
existing tax laws are going up.
When the Senate committee be-
gan work on the tax bill several
months ago, the Treasury esti-
mated spending in this fiscal year
would total 1854 billion and that
existing tax laws would bring in
only $585 billion.

West Reported Ready
To Lift Restrictions
On Arms for Italy
Joint Declaration, Due
Tomorrow, Expected to
NulIify Treaty Clauses
BY the Asseeieted Press

PARIS, Sept. 25.-The United
States, Britain and France will
publish a joint declaration tomor-
row saying Italy lis no longer sub
ject' to her peace treaty arms
limitations. diplomatic informants
said here today.
Russia was the fourth major
power involved in imposing the
treaty terms on Italy.
The informants in Paris said the
three Western powers would say
DeGosperi Urges West to Use ltoIy's Sur
plus Men ond Factories. Poee "A
in the declaration that changing
since the Italian
treaty was written have made. it
no longer necessary to compel
Italy to abide by certain treaty
clauses.
Would Be Opposed by Russia.
These clauses mainly are those
that restricted Italy to an army
of 250,000. an air force of $50
planes and $4,000 men, and a
navy of no more than 1872. ships
of all kinds.
The informants said the decla-
ration lis the only way to free
Italy from the unjust restrictions
of her peace treaty without &C
tual modification of the terms.
Any move to modify the form
of the treaty would require Soviet
approval The Russians have
made clear that they would op-
pose any modifying.
Satellite Positions Pointed Out.
Russia opposes any easing up
on arms restrictions for Italy be-
cause the Italian government has
stated its preference for alliance
with the Western powers and
Joined the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization defense system.
Diplomats said there doubtless
would be an outcry from the
Kremlin when the declaration is
made public. They said this can
be countered by pointing to the
similar steps Russia has taken
with three Communist satellite
nations-Romania, Bulgaria and
Hungary.
The satellites also are limited on
arms by peace treaties but West
Iern governments charged two
years ago they were armed above
the limits.
Economic Clauses Also Hit.
The joint declaration will be
made public tomorrow morning
european time) in Paris, Lon
don and Washington. The exact
hour of the publication was not
learned.
Italian leaders also have de-
manded abolition of the economic
restrictive clauses in the treaty,
and have asked that the war guilt
and moral condemnation clauses
be wiped out.
Revision of the Italian treaty
was one of the main subjects dis
cussed by the Big Three foreign
ministers in Washington last
month, and by the Atlantic pact
ministers at Ottawa a short time
later. Italian Foreign Minister
Alcide de Gasperi consulted with
other Western leaders on the sub
ject at both meetings.
Mr.. de Gasperi still is in Wash
ington comforting with United
States leaders.

UNITED STATES 9th ARMY
HEADQUARTERS. Korea, Sept.
25.-American F-86 Sapres today
won the longest jet battle in his
tory. They shot down five Com

damaged IA.
The fight was not only the
longest but also one of the biggest

against 80 MICS.
The SabreS were led by Amer

On the ground, United Nations

The mountain, like the ridge the
Allies want so badly, looks down
on Communist supply and as

A U. N. unit battled to the
mountain top, northwest of
Yanggu, through intense mortar
and small arms fire. 1t kicked an
estimated two North Korean bat
talionS off the peak in nearly three
hours of fierce fighting.

for the second time in 10 days.
Weary American soldiers holed
up on the steep slopes and re-
pulsed three small Red probing
attacks before dawn today. They
reported that by this afternoon
there had been no further contact
with the Communists.
BattIeship Pounds Reds.
To the east, the 16-inch rifles
of the battleship New Jersey
pounded Reds in the hills north of

The H4-ton shells arched miles
through the air. 5 Dozens hit the
heart of the Communist defenses
on the northeastern front, the
Navy said. Observers called the

The South Korean frigate Ap-
nok was hit three times yesterday
in duel with Red shore batteries
on the East Korean coast. Three
South Korean sailors were wound
ed and two were sent aboard the
New Jersey for treatment.
Allied offensives that had won

Publisher Threatened

WILMINGTON, NC. - (ANP)
- Negro newspaper publisher T.
c. Jervay, was threatened here for
printing editorials against the
Klan.
According to reports threats
were made by two telephone calls.
The voice in the first threat said,
"Tell Jervay that if he writes an
other editorial against the Klan,
we'll have to burn some crosses
here"
The second telephone threat ad-
vised Jervay to get out of town.
A few minutes after this, a white
taxicab followed by a Negro cab
drove up in front of the Jervay'S
home. The Negro cab driver said
that he had been instructed to go
to the Jervay's home, and get him
into the cab.
The editorials, which apparently
started the Klan action, were in
recent issues of Jervay's publica-
tion, Wilmington Journal"
