BY ths Assoeiossd Press

CAIRO, Jan. 3l.-Reliable n
formants said today orders hav'
been issued to Egyptian com
mandos" in the Suez Canal are,
to stop their guerrilla activities
1t looked like an attempt by tn
new government of Premier AL,
Maher Pasha to restore order.
At the same time, two leadinl
Egyptian newspapers credited tn
new Premier with receptive at.

British Egyptian dispute.
The Premier held a long meet
ing last night with Gen. Aziz A
Misri, appointed by the former
.Wafdist government last Decem.
Der to organize and run ''libera.
ton battalion" activities.
Trend Toward Cooling Off.
There seems to be trend to.
ward cooling off Egyptian pas.
sions, heated to fever pitch under
the Wafd government. Western
diplomats seem agreed that sucl
cooling off is essential if any new
talks are to begin.
Since the new Premier tool
over Sunday night, Egyptian
newspapers have carried no news
|of canal zone developments, al.
though previously they had beer
filled with stories of Suez fight
ing. The Egyptian Governor ot
ISuez, Zaki Ell Knoll, reported that
about so criminals" were ar
rested there since martial law went
into effect Sunday night. He
said the liberation battalions'
had not been affected by martial
law, but that they have not been
so active.
Although some reliable sources
in Suez said the members of the
liberation battalions" were per-
mitted to retain their arms, the
Governor reported all quiet in the
canal area, with business operat-
ing normally. The British, whose
roadblockS guard entrances to
Suez, are said to have eased re-
strictions so that traffic flows more
freely.
Lurid Dispatches End.
Egyptian reporters from Cairo,
who had filed lurid dispatches to
their newspapers until the change
in government, are reported to
have returned to the capital.
The independent Al Ahram
quoted the Premier as saying he
is ready to receive British pro-
posalS for settlement of the bitter
Anglo o-Egyptian dispute.

Wafdist government which Maher
PaSha displaced. said the new
Premier favors a regional pact

outlined In a 1916 statement in
which he called for such an alli-

with Britain. That treaty was
Cancelled last October by Wafdist

Truman Considers Il
Unsafe 10 forego Tax
Increase This Year
BY the Assoeiated Press

President Truman has expressed
the view that to try to get along
without another tax boost would
not be safe"
He gave his opinion In a letter
made public today by Senators
Moody, Democrat of Michigan
and Monroney, Democrat, OF
Oklahoma. They had written the
President on December 80 thai
they believed a tax increase this
year would not be wise or neces-
sary."
In a reply dated January 26 Mr.
Truman said "the fiscal outlook o1
the Government is such that it i:
not safe to forego some increases
in taxes"
II am sorry that this is the
case" the President added. "be.
cause I do not like to ask fol-
higher taxes any more than an.
one else does. However, we have
got job to do and it has to be
done"
Suggest Alternatives.
In opposing another genera
ltax increase, the two Senators
suggested three alternatives to i
Itax boost:
| /. Closing Of tax loophules.
2. Seeking additional specific
Economies. <%s
8. Averaging off our fiscal bal.
ance in a f1ve-year package"
On this last point, they said:
'The mobilization program, ".
are informed. calls for huge ex.
|penditures for two to three years
land, barring a general war; con.
Isiderably less military expendi'
Itures in the following two to three
years. =.
"The level Of general taxes Il
now high. II the current 1eveI
of tax rates were continued fol
the entire f1ve-yea1 rearmameni
period, we believe that the surplus
of the last two or three years o1
the t1ve-year period would bal
ance the budget, or more, over
the period"
Would average on"
But Mr.. Truman replied a tax
increase would be needed "even
when you average Off prospects
over number of years."
| The Presidents identical replies
to the two Senators said:
II want to thank you for your
letter of December 80, 1851, con-
cerning the tax problem. think
there is much merit in what you
had to say, and it was very helpful
to have these views at the time
when ! was preparing the annual
messages to Congress.
"You know from these messages,
of course, that I did not find it
possible to go all the way with
your suggestions. While it is
necessary and justifiable under
the circumstances to depart from
the pay-as-you-go principle to
some extent, the fiscal outlook of
the Government is such that it
lis not safe to forego some in
creases in taxes. This is true even
when you average Off prospects
over number of years. I am
sorry that this is the case, because
I do not like to ask for higher
taxes any more than any one else
does. However, we have got a
job to do and it has to be done.
Sincerely yours;

frequent guests at the latter's

even famous shots of Europe,
the Ambassador usually brings in
the biggest bag Of the day. It
was he, too, who shot down the
rarest fowl at Rambouillet. what
appeared to be a white pheasant.
An object Of much curiosity,
President Auriol had it stuffed
and sent to him. Kay Halle's
sister, Mrs. Francis SherWin, an
ornithologist and trustee Of the
Natural History Museum, latter
identified it while visiting at
the Embassy in Paris as an ale
bino pheasant.
Both the Bruces have extra
ordinary taste. Both had a hand
in decorating their own little
shooting lodge outside Versailles

To oHonor Child
OF President
By Katharine M. Brooks


Mrs. Frederick j. Manning
made one Of her frequent trips
to Washington last week and
stayed with her sister-in-law.
Mrs. Robert A. Taft, for two
days. MRS. Manning is dean Of
the history department at Bryn
Mawr College where she also
served as dean for some years
and as president from 1929-30.
But, she is best known in Wash
ington as the former Helen Taft
and has a wide circle OF friends
in the Capital made when she
was the White House debutante
during the administration Of her
father. the late William Howard
Taft.
Mrs. Manning, whose hus-
band Is on the faculty of
Swarthmore College came down
from their home In Bryn Mawr
frequently when her parents
were living. Since their deaths
she drops in now and then to
see Senator and Mrs. Taft. At
one time she was a member Of
the National Board Of the Wash

and st. Paul.
The older daughter in the
Manning family Helen Taft

studies In music.
Glamour Of Bygone Days
The late Mrs. William Howard
Taft was an ardent worker for
the Cincinnati Symphony Or
chestra and the Cincinnati Con-
servatory Of Music. She was q
good pianist and supported and
furthered the concerts by the
service bands In West Potomac
Park at the east end of the
Polo Grounds. These were espe-
cially popular during the bloom
ing Of the Japanese cherry trees.
These trees were presented to
Mrs. Taft by the Japanese
government.
Mrs. Manning came out in a
glamorouS era, one which no
season since has touched for the
brilliance and elaborateness of
the entertaining. Looking back
