Tax Boost
 Bill Geis Turn Down
House Refuses 10 Accept Measure Worked Out
 by Joint Committee

WASHINGTON. Oct. 16-tR-The House today refused to accept the $5, 732 100000 general tax increase bill worked out by Senate-House committee. The roll call vote was 2O3 to 157, against the measure.
 However, the vote does not mean a tax increase is dead for this ses- sion. The House voted to ask the Senate for a new conference to try to work out acceptable terms.
 What it likely does mean is that leaders will now have to abandon hopes of adjourning the session this Saturday and keep the legislators here while another tax bill is work ed out.
 Most Republican members voted against the compromise revenue measure drafted by a joint Senate House conference committee, and they were joined by enough Demo- crats to reject the conference groups recommendations.
 The same House conferees were appointed, on the motion of Rep. Doughton (D-NC), chairman of the Ways and Means committee.
 They are Reps. Doughton, Cooper (D-Tenn), Dingell (D-Mich), Mills D-Ark), Reed tR-Ky), Jenkins (R- Ohio) and Simpson R-Pa).
 The vote caught administration leaders by surprise.
 Approval apparently had been taken largely for granted.

Anchorage Bank Cashier Adrlits Theft
 Took Funds to Uphold
 Standard of Living;
 2-Year Term Suspended
ANCHORAGE. Alaska, Oct. le--

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Oct. 16-- A bank employee who admitted he took bank funds to maintain a standard of living equal to his po- sition in the community pleaded guilty to embezzlement in third dis trict court yesterday.
 The defendant, Donald w. Jacobs, assistant cashier of the First Ma tional Bank of Anchorage. was sen- fenced to two years in prison, sus- pended after U. s. Attorney Earl Cooper told the court that Dan Cuddy, President of the bank, had recommended leniency.
 Information filed with the court accused Jacobs of embezzling $6,- 143 from the bank between August
 25, 1949 and September 1851.
 Cooper said no complaint was ever filed formally against Jacobs, one of Anchorage's most prominent citi- zens. The defendant voluntarily sur- rendered, after an investigation dis closed a shortage in bank funds, waived indictment by grand jury and pleaded guilty to the informa- tion charging him with the offense, the U. s. Attorney reported.
 Cooper told the court money in- volved was not depositors' money, but money belonging to the bank, He said he made this statement because Cuddy had informed him his recom- mendation would be for suspended sentence. Cooper said he concurred.
 When the embezzlement was dis covered, the U. s. Attorney said, Jacobs freely admitted it.
 Jacobs attorney, Paul Robison,
 said the defendant came to An
 chorage four years ago after three
 and hall years in the Navy. Be-
 cause of his ability. the attorney
 said Jacobs quickly rose to
 position of responsibility in the
 hent assi, to | la~'siS-a of EsSs..z
 AAsShtC HI CitkC dAAdlrss
 His position in the community re- quired certain responsibilities, cer- tain standards of living that he couldn't get from bank salary so he resorted to this unfortunate, ill., egal means of getting it," Robison said.
 Jacobs, about 35, was a member of the Board of Directors of the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce and was active in the Salvation Army campaign fund, Red Cross Boy Scouts and iron lung fund drives.
 The defendant sat through the short court proceedings with his head bowed. He was visibly moved and when he pleaded guilty his voice was barely audible.

Taft Is Candidate for COP
 Presidential Nomination

WASHINGTON. Oct. 16 = R - Senator Taft announced today he is a candidate for the Republican Presidential nomination.
 T am going to run because be- lieve can conduct the only kind of a campaign which will elect Re- publican to office," the Senator told a crowded press conference.
 Taft issued three carefully pre- pared statements to more than 100 newsmen. photographers and others who filled the large committee room used by Republican Senators.
 The longest statement said he
 would enter the Wisconsin Presi-
 dental primary and also accept
 the bid of Ohio delegates to the
 nominating convention next year. Senator Bricker. Taft's Republi- can colleague from Ohio, said that the announcement would give hiIn definite advantage. Ready to take issue with Taft sup porters on that point were packers of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. who so far has kept publicly silent on whether he will seek the COP nom- ination next year.
 But his supporters say they have no doubt he will be available and will make his announcement when he completes his indefinite assign ment as supreme commander of the North Atlantic defense forces in Europe
 No other candidate of either major party has thrown his hat in the 1952 Presidential ring. The Democrats are expected to remain silent until President Truman makes known his decision.
 Taft today announced chat he would not comment Ion other pos sible candidates for the Republican nomination"
 He hit at "smearing tactics" of some organizations and singled out one in California for making wholly unjustified attacks on Gov-' ernor Warren and General Eisea- hover"
