Income Tax Rebates Three Million Behind Last Year Due to Closer Scrutiny

WASHINGTON, (P) - If you haven't received your income tax refund this year, you have plenty of company.
 The government is running about three million checks behind last year in disgorging it's annual golden flood of taxes in reverse.
 Treasury officials told a report CT Thursday the Revenue Bureau is giving refund requests closer scrutiny than usual this year, thus causing a lag.
 But don't. worry too much-the rate of output is stepping up rap- idly. Paul Banning, chief disburs- ing officer for the treasury, esti- mated about eight million checks will be mailed in April and nine million in May.
 From the start of the fiscal year last July through April IT, the Treasury dropped 16,200,000 re- fund checks into the mail. During the same period last year, it sent out 18,9OO,O0O individual income tax refunds.
 The average refund is bigger this year-$60.72 compared with $50.58 last year.

Reds Break off Secret Talks On How To Exchange Prisoners
 Ru RNRERT R HICKMAN

MUNSAN, (P)-The Commun- ists Friday broke off secret nego- tiations on how to exchange pri- soners of war after the JUN. Com mand announced it would return less than half the Reds captured in Korea.
 However, truce talks will con- tinue. The effect of the Red action was to remove the veil of secrecy from negotiations.
 The Reds broke off the secret talks six days after being told that only 10000 Allied-held cap- tives wanted to return to the Communists.
 Col. George Hickman said inter views with prisoners during 2- week recess which ended April 19 showed that only 10000 wanted to go home.
 Chinese Col. Tsai Cheng Wen angrily told JUN. negotiators there ''has never been anything like the so-called voluntary repatriation throughout history.
 ''It is a direct violation of the Geneva Convention from which your side has been quoting so readily and frequently"

Democrat Attacks On Eisenhower
 Increase in Tempo
BY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)


 The signs were clear Friday that Democratic attacks on Gen. Eisenhower will increase in tempo as the time hears for his return to seek the Republican presiden- tial nomination.
 Secretary of Labor Tobin, in one of the first administration blasts at Eisenhower as a poli- tician said in Cumberland, Md, Thursday night the Democratic party "isn't interested in a mys- tery man" as a candidate.
 "It won't be satisfied with a smile or a good military record or a knack for kissing babies,' D Tobin said. He did not mention the general by name, but he left little doubt he was referring to him.
 The State Department-insist- ing no politics was involved in the action-said it has quit pass ing out pictures of Eisenhower to Americans planning to visit Flu rope.
 The department said in the past IS months it has distributed thou sands of pictures of Eisenhower on pamphlets explaining the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza- ton, in which he is the supreme commander. The last was issued 10 days ago, and no more will be printed.
 Major political activity today centered in Illinois and Arkansas where Republican conventions are scheduled.

Taft, with 239 Delegates, Still Confident of Victory
 Over Ke's 22O Delegates
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

With Gen. Eisenhower esti- mated 220 delegates pressing hard behind his own 239, Sen. Taft said Thursday he believes he can win the majority of the 60 COP dele gates at stake in the week ahead.
 Referring to presidential prefer ence primaries and conventions which will select delegates in Colorado, Utah, Delaware, Ari- zona and Arkansas, Taft said:
 "We face a fight everywhere but it looks pretty good"
 But Eisenhower's campaign managers were optimistic too. They predicted in the wake of the generals victories in New York and Pennsylvania, that he will be nominated on the first ballot at the national convention.
 Taft, speaking before a Wash ington rally, blasted the Truman administrations spending policies, said the US. government should never spend more than 55 billion dollars year except in a nation al emergency.
 In a Boston news conference, former Republican national chair man Carroll Reece accused the administration of spending huge sums to promote Eisenhower as the COP candidate because they figure Eisenhower is the Demo- crat'S best bet"

US. UIti1natun Stopped Russia In Iran In l946

WASHINGTON, R)-President Truman said Thursday he sent an ultimatum to Premier Stalin and forced Russia to withdraw her troops from Iran in 1946.
 He said he was ready to back up the ultimatum with American troops and ships.
 Truman lifted veil of secrecy to give his version of this and other international incidents in a news conference discussion in which he emphasized:
 CD The gravity of the world emergency of recent years.
 t2) The great inherent powers he feels he has as President to deal with it, and
 (3) The necessity for the United States to have strong armed forces.
 Tn addition to the Iranian mat ter, the President said there was a time when Yugoslavia decided to take Trieste, but that he or dered the Mediterranean fleet into that area and there was no march on Trieste. He mentioned too the Berlin airlift and the Korean war.
 The whole discussion revolved about Truman's seizure of the steel industry and the furore that it has created.
 Somewhat plaintively, he said that the country is in the middle of the greatest emergency it has ever faced, yet he has been abused roundly for what he has done. He added that he is not the first president to be abused and that he knows how to take it.

 July 21 Which May Result In Higher Fares to Alaska

WASHINGTON, (P - Examin- CT Paul N. Pfeiffer Thursday set July q for the start of a Civil Aeronautics Board hearing which may result in increased air fares to Alaska.
 He said the hearing may be held either in Seattle or Portland.
 Under study will be cargo rates and passenger fares between the two Pacific Northwest cities and Anchorage and Fairbanks.
 Also at issue will be the reason ableness of common fares from the two northwest cities to the Alaska cities.
 Attorneys for more than a score of airlines involved agreed We'd nesday at pre-hearing confer ence on nearly all phases of the hearing.

Louis Huber Reports On Visit To Little Diomede and Shishmaref
Missouri River Receding At Kansas City

KANSAS CITY, R - T h e Kansas City area was over the hump Friday in its fight against the Missouri river but flood work CTS still maintained a vigil along the network of dikes for possible weak spots.
 The lood-choked river contin- ued to fall after reaching it's peak here Thursday afternoon just a fraction under 30.7 feet. That was little below the predicted crest Of q and more than 10 feet under the top of the levees.
 It was a record upstream flood until the muddy surge hit Kansas City. But from here on down stream the river stages were lower than the terrible flood of July, 1851, when the Raw river, which joins the Missouri here, laid waste to the rich industrial areas of the two Kansas Citys.

Top Command Considers Incentive Pay To Attract More Youths to Air Forces

WASHINGTON, (P) - The gla- nor, of combat flying has worn SO thin in two wars that some top military people believe new sys- tenn of incentive pay" is the only sure way to attract more youths into Americas growing air force.
 Such pay proposal is knock ing around the Air Forces top pm m and. It is expected to emerge soon as a specific plan to be laid before Congress.
 It is certain to run into trouble there.
 Sponsors of a proposal to give combat pay to frontline fighters and others actually under enemy fire have been sharply critical of the special hazard and incentive pay that now goes to Air Force and Navy flying crews, submarine crews and Army parachutists.
 The Air Force was the "glamor boy" of the armed forces in World War II, but today the Air Force admits the glamor appeal is not enough. There is a serious short age of pilots, navigators, bombar- diers and other qualified flying personnel.
 At the moment, airmen say, it appears the cadet training class starting in May will be roughly 50 per cent under the estimated needs.
 On the other hand, there is surplus of college-trained men for ground duty.

Truman's Remarks Raise Eyebrows
 Around the World

WASHINGTON, P-President Truman's off-the-cuff assertion that he forced the Russians out of Iran by personal ultimatum to Premier Stalin led to some un- happy tongue-clicking in high quarters Friday.
 A press office "clarification" of Truman's extemporaneous state ment at a news conference Thurs day pointed up the embarrass- ment occassioned by this and other off-hand remarks that have raised eyebrows around the world.
 British newspapers splashed the lultimatum" story under such headlines as Sensation at Truman Talk" and "Blunders by Mir. Tru- man."
 In diplomatic language an "ul- timatum" is regarded as a step just short of war. Roger Hubby, assistant presidential press secre- tary, told reporters afterward MT. Truman used the word in a mon technical, layman sense"
 The note in question, he said, was not one from the President to Stalin, but note from this government to the Russian gov- ernment on March 6, 1946, stating this country's position against
