The labor group urged the Sen
ate Finance Committee to get
half of it from corporation in
comes, and to tighten the burden
in the House bill on individuals
whose taxable income does not
exceed $1,000. The CIO also put
its foot down against general
sales tax, as proposed by business
spokesmen.
The Senate committee began
another week of hearings today
on the House-approved measure.
which would raise $7.2 billion, as
follows:
From a fiat 1919 per cent in

$2.8 billion; boosts in excise
taxes, $1.2 billion, and structural
changes, $245 million.

livened by sharp verbal sparring
between Senator Millikin, Repub-
ican, of Colorado, and Arthur
Schutzer, a spokesman for the
American Labor Party.
Mr.. Schutzer attacked the obi
partisan tax measure now threat

ator Millikin interrupted with an
offer to debate the principles of
the Republican Party with the
witness at any time.
Accepting the challenge, Mr.
Schutzer replied there was no time
like the present.

Britain Advises u. ).
Against Military Tie
With Franco Regime
Trip by Shermon Seen a
Evidence Washington Is
Disreqordinq Request
BY the Associated Pfsss

LONDON, July Is. The Foreign
Office disclosed today that Britain
has advised the United States
against entering any military ar
rangements with Generalissimo
Frances Spanish regime.
Informed diplomats said, how
ever, that the United States seems
to be disregarding Britain's advice.
In the background was the de-
parture from Washington of Ad-
miral Forrest P. Sherman, United
States Chief of Naval Operations
for a tour of Europe which will in
clude Spain. Admiral Sherman
was to discuss with the Spanish
military men matters of mutual
interest.
Britain has been in touch with
France on the matter of United
States naval and air bases in Spain
French officials said in Paris that
France opposed the idea of Ameri-
can bases in Spain as POLITICALLY
unwise." A French government Of
f1cialS said Paris was told last
February of United States plans
to acquire such bases.
Franco Strongly Opposed.
The feeling has been expressed
in Paris and London that any
American-Spanish military ar
rangements would give Spain a
place in the Atlantic pact align
ment, however obliquely, and
there is strong feeling in both
Britain and France against the in
clusion of Gen. Francois regime
in Western defense arrangements
A British Foreign Office spokeS-
man told a reporter that Britain
is firmly opposed to SPANS ad-
mission into the Atlantic alliance
The United States is said to have
been quietly testing opinion on
the idea of SPANS admittance for
some time.
Britain, said the spokesman,
also opposes "any closer associa-
tion between Spain and any men,
Der of the Atlantic pact"
"The United States Government
has been made we'll aware of our
views from time to time"
Before the British Labor PARTY
came to power, many of its leaders
including Prime Minister Attlee
himself. worked actively against
Franco during the Spanish Civil
War, and the leaders of the Labo,
government today consider Gen,
Franco a Fascist.

Talks in Formal Atmosphere.
Armed Red military police were
in the war-battered city. They
were there by agreement reached
yesterday. Some smiled at the
second group of 20 U. N. newsmen
to go into the city. Others scowled.
The negotiations themselves
were conducted in a formal atmos-
phere across a green-topped table
in a secluded conference room.
But it was not a formality that
would prevent an agreement, said
1t. Col. Howard S. Levie of New
York, a U. N. staff officer who was
present.

today than ever before"
The two Chinese generals on
the five-man Red delegation espe-

at the afternoon session.
The Chinese smiled when they
came back into the conference

change in time.
Admiral Joy took the entire 55-

present further arguments in favor
of the agenda proposed by the
Allied delegation.
The conferees took a two-hour

Boost Of S4OO
For Teachers
Wins Support
Audience at Public
Hearing in Arlington
Bucks Raise

New support has been assured
for a $400 increase in Arlington
teachers salaries next year, rather
than 5000 as recommended by the
County School Board.
At a public hearing on the pro-
posed school budget for 1951-52,
held last night at Stratford Junior
High School, the audience of ap-
proximate1y 800 almost unani-
mously supported the higher in
crease. A school official said that
between 100 and 125 teachers were
in the group.
Previously, the county Civic
Federation and the Arlington Edu-
cation Association had supported
the $400 raise.
Under the boards proposal,
teachers salaries would be raised
5000 in addition to the annual in
crement of $100 to 5000 provided
in the regular salary scale.
Members of the county board sat
with the School Board at last
nights hearing. The county board
will hold a public hearing on the
entire budget for the fiscal year
beginning July at 8 pm. Mon
day at Washington-Lee High
School.
/ Among the speakers indorsing
the $400 increase were representa-
tives of Parent Teacher Associa-
tions, the civic federation. the
Citizens Committee for School
Improvement. and other groups
A Chamber of Commerce spokes-
man said his organization sup
ports whatever salary scale is
necessary to meet what is being
offered by competing Jurisdictions
Supt. William A. Early, in his
budget recommendation, esti-
mates revenues and expenditures
in the coming fiscal year at $4,-
COG, ,923. This amount would re-
quire a tax rate of $1.4O. The
county operating budget proposed
by County Manager A. T. Lund-
berg is for $6.818,l48. calling for
IA rate of $1.25.
The total proposed rate Of $2.65
is SO cents less than the present
1888. The suggested rate re-
duction is a result of property
reassessment program which in
creased property valuations by
more than IS per cent.
