think the new Allied proposal is
very similar to what the Com

therefore, see no reason why

waiting for World War III"
Formal Statement Due.

Left No Note, Police Say
By the Associofed Press

DETROIT, June l. - Mrs.
Katharine Ford. wife of the De-
troit industrialist and banker.
John B. Ford, jr., hanged herself
in her home yesterday, the
Wayne County coroner's Office
said today.
Earlier Mrs. Ford's death had
been attributed by a family
spokesman to a heart attack.

Ford left no note. Members of

Reorganization
Plan Would Place
Policy Control Under
Secretary Of State
By Joseph A. Fox

President Eisenhower today
sent to Congress a reorganiza.
ton plan which would give the
Secretary of State unquestioned
control of foreign policy, while
freeing him of administrative
responsibility over the Govern
ment's foreign aid and overseas
information programs.
The program would abolish
the independent Mutual Security
Agency now headed by Harold
E. StaSsen and transfer its func.
tions to a new Foreign Opera
tions Administration, which also
would take over the State De-
partment's Point 4" program.
Mr.. Stassen probably would head
the revamped agency.
The reorganization also would
bring together information serv-
ices of the State Department.
Mutual Security and Technical
Cooperation Administration in
a new international 1nforma-
tional Administration.
DR.. Robert l.. johnson, now di-
rector of international informa-
ton, is expected to head this new
setup. The change involves a
revamping of the Voice Of
America.
Would Cooperate on Policy.
Whether the Voices designa-
ton would be changed is not cer-
tain, but its primary function
would continue its work of in
forming foreign listeners about
United States policy.
Both new agencies, it appears
from the reorganization orders.
would have autonomy in their
administrative functions. But
the plans provide that their pro-
grams should be developed in
close consultation with the Sec
retary of State, to make certain
that they conform with the Ma
tion's foreign policy.
THE Secretary of State has an
obligation to develop means Of
providing foreign policy guidance
fully and promptly" Gen. Eisen-
hover said in a message to Con-
gress accompanying the reorgan-
lzation plan. THE Foreign Ope-
rations Administration and the
United States Information Agen-
cy must seek such guidance and
establish appropriate means Of
assuring that its programs at all
times conform to such foreign
policy guidance"
Effective in so Days.
The reorganization plan, which
has been expected for some time.
will be effective in go days un-
less it is rejected by a consti-
tutional majority of either the
Senate or the House. For the
Senate, that would mean 49
votes in opposition; for the
House, 218.
The President also asked Con-
gress today to approve another
reorganization plan, which would
continue the Council Of Eco
nomic Advisors as a three-mem-
Der unit and provide also for an
Advisory Board on Economic
Growth and Stability, composed
OF the heads of various agencies.
The President proposes that
the new director of the Foreign
Operations Administration get a
salary of $22,500 a year and that
the head Of the new information
agency get $17.500. The deputy
director of foreign operations
will get $17,500 and the informa-
ton deputy $4,000. There are
also a half dozen top officers in
the foreign operations branch to
get $4,000 and $4,000 annually.
Improvement Essential.
In asking Congress to approve
the State Department reorgani-
zation, Gen. Eisenhower stressed
that in the past. "our organiza-

affairs has been built upon a

Profits Tax a Must
For 6 More Months,
Humphrey Declares
Official Tells Congress
He Would Fight Move
For Another Extension
By J. A. OLeoN

Secretary of the Treasury
Humphrey pleaded with Con-
gress today to extend the excess
profits tax for six months, but
he promised to fight to eliminate
the levy from the tax program
for fiscal 1854.
Secretary Humphrey told the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee that even if world con-
ditions required full mobiliza-
ton in the future, he would op-
pose use Of excess profits tax
beyond the extension now re-
quested. He said emergency
money could be obtained by
fairer means.
He testified the administra-
ton is studying all kinds of
taxes. and has not decided
whether a general sales tax
would be advisable. He was the
first witness to testify on pos
Sible extension of the levy.
Would Cut Deficit.
Secretary Humphrey said ex-
tension of the tax until Decem-
ber 81 is needed to:
l. Hold next years budget def
icit to $6.6 billion and prevent
the country from taking another
ride on the "inf1ationary merry
go-round.'::
2. Prevent large corporations
from getting tax relief next
six months ahead of individuals,
who will get an income tax cut
of about 10 per cent in January.
Secretary Humphrey revealed
that the actual expenditure for
foreign aid in the year beginning
July l will be SOS billion, al
though the new appropriation
requested is only $5.4 billion.
The larger outlay will come from
unSpent balances.
Answering the argument House
members have advanced that
taxes could be cut Immediately
by slashing foreign aid, Secre-
tary Humphrey said that of the
SOS billion cash outlay next
year, SIS billion sis for military
end items to arm people abroad
to fight for us in lieu of sending
American boys" OF the remain
ing SIS billion, nearly $1.2 bill
lion is closely related to military
items, leaving only a small
amount for economic aid, he
said.
Other Moves Urged.
In addition to extending the
excess profits levy until January
the President also has asked
Congress to rescind the S pei
cent cut in the regular corpora
ton rate scheduled for April /
1854; reScind the cuts in excise
taxes scheduled for next April
and cancel the increase in the
old-age insurance tax from ~
to 2 per cent on both employees
and employers, now scheduled to
take effect January /.
Looking directly at committee
members who have advocated
tax reduction now, Secretary
Humphrey said passage of a bill
for immediate personal income
tax cuts would add more than
50 billion to the deficit.
81 don't believe your commit
tee or any other committee wants
to do that and put us right back
on the inf1ationary merry-go-
round, which is where we would
be-" Secretary Humphrey said.

Judge Alexander Holtzoff Of
