Captain and crew had fought an

willis Bill Would Amend
u. 5. Tax on Life Insurance
BY the Associated Press

Representative Willis, Demo-
crat, of Louisiana, protested to-
day that a ruling by the Internal
Revenue Bureau requires a widow
lin a community property State to
pay Federal estate tax on all pro-
Iceeds from her husbands life in
Isurance.
This ruling, he said, does not af-
feet States without such property
laws.
Mr.. Willis, in statement which
he placed in the Congressional
Record. explained that in COM
munity property States all proper
ty acquired during marriage by
joint efforts of husband and wife
constitutes community property
On death Of the husband. he said,
the wife is automatically sole
owner of half the property. Thus
only half of the estate is subject
to State inheritance taxes.
But. he said, the Revenue
Bureau has ruled that in COM
munity property States the en-
tire proceeds from life insurance
is taxable while in non-community
property States only one-half is
taxable.
Mr.. Willis said he has intro
duced legislation to correct the
situation and require that only
half of proceeds from life in
surance is subject to the Fed
eral estate tax in all States.

Uu1puf Nears Normal
As Nation's S Steel Mills
Resume Production

The big steel industry today was
headed toward normal production
following last weeks three-day
strike. There was no new Gov
ernment effort in sight to settle
the wage dispute which has kept
the industry in turmoil for months.
All sides were awaiting the Su-
preme Court decision on the
legality of President Truman's
seizure of the mills. The court will
hear arguments in the case next
Monday and may hand down a
decision in a week.
The 650,000 CIO United Steel
workers were returning to work
for the Government pending the
court ruling. Some of them
grumbled. A union officer in
Gary, Ind. complained that
United States Steel Corp. was
dragging its feet in getting the
mills in operation.
Rules Against Pay Raise.
President Truman had promised
the steelworkers a pay raise if the
steel companies did not agree to
a new contract. But the Supreme
Court prevented that. It ruled
against raising wages until the
legality of seizure has been de-
cided.
White House efforts to settle
the long dispute collapsed Sunday.
John r. Steelman. assistant to the
President, said the parties were SO
far apart that further negotia-
tionS at this time were useless.
Mr.. Steelman has no present plans
to call the disputants together
again.
G. o. p. Senators Sponsor Bill.
Thirteen Republican Senators
introduced legislation to direct
Secretary of Commerce Sawyer,
Government boss of the seized in
dustry, to give up the steel plants
and return them to their private
owners.
Senator Butler, Republican, of
Nebraska, one Of the sponsors,
urged early Senate consideration,
telling his colleagues the bill "sets
forth an eXpedient method of
overcoming the arbitrary seizure
of the steel industry" 1t seemed
unlikely, however, that the Senate
would act while the issue is be-
fore the Supreme Court.

WASP Reaches Port at Last
with 81 Hobson Survivors

took the lives OF the Hobson'S men
the log said:
1T was as though the sea was
not satisfied with all it had taken. "
The log revealed sorrow, then
anger, with the sea and final
ly the joy Of nearing home again
after the narrowing collision.
The Navy released excerpts from
the carriers log, beginning the
morning Of April q, less than 10
hours after the collision.
"After memorial services for
the ITS Hobson men, the U. S. S.
Wasp slowly backed away" the
log began. "Seas were rough
winds strong, visibility zero
Search was nearly impossible
Flooding was reported. Snoring
continued"
Another destroyer. the Rodman
picked up some Hobson survivors
and later transferred them to the
Wasp. The carriers log noted
this April 20 with the entry:
THAT afternoon the Hobson
survivors were reunited in the
Wasp sick bay. They all liked il
there and did not want to leave
for new hunks but only % were
kept. the rest reporting for tenn
perature readings every four
hours"
The carriers progress toward
home was slowed by anchor
chains. loosened and set trailing
by the collision. BY April 80 the
Wasp's log noted:
"As the crew tired the serious
ness Of the situation seemed to
slip away"
And the next day the log re-
corded 30-foot waves and added
"The blunt-nosed beast con-
ltinued to wander. This was sure
to be another one of those days
We were dragging the star
board chain by the anchor anly
and the port chain was hanging
in the blight. With 40 tons in
each chain dragging and a barn
door on the end of one, no wonder
we were unmanageable and slow
in speed"
But note Of hope at last crept
into the log that same day:
Clocks were set back an hour
proving that the United States

BUSINESS of the week was being
replaced with laughter and the
anticipation Of being in port

Report From Far East
Conflicts With Story Of
Ammunition Rationinq

A dispatch from the Far East
command that ammunition is
plentiful appeared in conflict today
with testimony here that some
types are in such short supply they
must be rationed in Korea.
The dispatch, received Saturday
said while ammunition is plenti-
full" it is being rationed ito save
money and maintain ammunition
reserve"
Yesterday, however, Gen. j.
ILaWton Collins told a congress
Isional committee considering mill
tary appropriations that some
types of ammunition are being
Irationed because production still
does not equal normal battle ex-
Ipenditures and World War II
stocks either have been exhausted
or have approached exhaustion"
Normal Precaution."
The dispatch said saving ammu-
milton is a normal military pre-
caution" 1t added that "alloca-
tions are considered adequate in
the present tactical situation"
The Far East command said
there exists no restrictions limit
ing use of artillery ammunition to
emergencies. adding the Eighth
Army fires much more ammuni-
Ition daily than the Communists
do"
The dispatch was in comment
on published reports of ammuni-
ton and vehicle shortages.
Gen. Collins. Army Chief OF
Staff. made. the first mention here
Of ammunition rationing, although
it has been no secret that the rate
of consumption by the 9th Army
has been eating into reserve
stocks.
Gen. Collins testimony was
given as top military planners tolo
the committee that budget cuts
could cripple this country's fight
ing strength.
Heavy artillery fire has been par
tricularly heavy in Korea-almost
like machine gun fire at times.
Gen. Collins said, 1--WE dare moi
cut ammunition deliveries" as part
of the spending retrenchment.
Cites Russian Strength.
Gen. Bradley, Joint Chiefs OF
Staff chairman, told the Senators
RuSSia's military strength is at a
point which "she may well con-
slider as adequate to warrant the
risk of a major aggression now.'
He said this country and the
North Atlantic Treaty nations
were attempting to build up their
defenses by 1854. He added he
believed "a period sometime after
mid-1953, all of 1854 and the first
part of 1855" was ''the general
period in which the Soviet Unions
capabilities versus our own should
reach their highest level"
Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg, Air
Force Chief Of Staff, testified
House cuts could mean Russia
would gain military control of the
air within two years.
Vice Admiral D. B. Duncan,
vice chief of Naval Operations,
said the reductions would leave
the Navy without either the mod
ern devices for detecting enemy
submarines or the best weapons
for insuring destruction of those
which are discovered"
The House wants to limit mill
tary spending to SAG billion during
fiscal 1858. The Pentagon is max
ing an all-out effort to restore the
spending figure to President Tru-
mans $50 billion.

Some of the residents can
