Profits Tax Bill
ToCon1eUpin
House Monddv
Fight Is Expected
Over opposing of
Reed Committee

House Republican leaders, ap-
parently holding little hope of
a truce in the bitter party fight
over extending the excess profits
tax, said today the extension
measure will be brought to the
House floor Monday.
Speaker Martin told reporters
the House will be called to meet
at IL am. to take up the bill
cleared through the House Rules
Committee, TO extend the excess
profits tax from June 80, the
present expiration date. to De-
cember 81
A bitter all-out fight was in
prospect over the procedure
adopted by the House Republic
can Leaders in by-passing the
tax-writing Ways and Means
Committee to clear the legisla-
tion for House decision.
Martin Optimistic.
Mr.. Martin said he had every
expectation" that the procedure
will be supported overwhelmingly
by Republicans and that the tax
extension sought by President
Else enhower vii, be voted.
II know a number of Demo-
Gratis who will support it and I
know very few Republicans who
will vote against it," Mr.. Martin
said.
The Rules Committee cleared
the extension bill late yesterday,
by-passing Chairman Daniel
Reed of the House Ways and
Means Committee, who has op-
posed the extension.
Representative Reed, veteran
New York laWmaker, was re-
ported to be standing firm in
his opposition to the extension.
Democratic members faced a
problem regarding the legisla-
ton. Representative McCor-
mack, Democrat, of Massachu-
sets, acting minority leader,
said while most Democrats favor
the excess profits tax extension,
they are opposed to by-passing
the Ways and Means Committee.
Mccormack Cool to Procedure.
Mr.. Mccormack indicated that
he himself would oppose the
procedure when it comes to a
showdown fight on the House
floor Monday. The House must
approve what is described as "a
rule" before actually taking up
and debating the extension bill.
Republican leaders indicated
they still hope Mr.. Reed and
the Ways and Means Committee
might act on an extension bill
and thereby resolve the matter
without a bitter floor battle. But
there was no indication this
would be done.
Speaker Martin and Mr.. Reed
conferred on the House floor
shortly after today's session got
under way. But there was no
comment from either one on
their discussion.
The Rules Committee cleared
the extension bill on a voice.

hour open hearing. The measure

Living Cost Rise Falls
Short Of Rail Pay Hike
BY the Associated Press

The Governments "old" cost
of-living index showed a slight
increase today for May, not
enough to bring a wage increase
for 1,250,000 railway workers.
The increase was three-tenths
of per cent over the April level.
The "old" consumers price in
dex reached 1888 per cent of the
1935-1939 average, just short of
the 189 per cent mark that would
have given the railroad men a
hour wage boost. Their
contract is geared to changes in
this index.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
early this week issued its new in
dex, based on 1919 prices. It
showed an identical rise in the
cost of living.

Roads Chief Denies
Planners Can Block
Rock Creek Project
Indicates Maryland
Will Go Ahead With
Route 24O Extension
BY George Beveridqe

The Maryland State Roads
Commission today denied cate
goricallly that Maryland and
national planning groups hare
the power to block the proposed
extension of Route 24O through
Maryland sections of Rock Creek
Park to the District line.
This position. taken in a fight
ing-word statement by Roads
Commissioner Russell H. Nc
Cain. indicated the State intends
to push through the road regard
less of possible planner opposi-
ton.
The statement followed a road
commission plea yesterday to the
National Capital Planning Com
mission and the Maryland-Na-
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission for approval of the
controversial route. 1t would
enter Rock Creek Park for a
short distance near Wisconsin
avenue. veer off across a section
of North Chevy Chase and then
re-enter the park near the East
West highway.
Claim Authority.
NCPC officials contend they
and the Maryland planners have
a strong voice in the proposal
through the 1880 Capper-Cram-
ton Act. The act, providing Fed
eral funds to help pay for acqui-
sition of the park lands, said the
planners would have control over
park development"
The roads commission, how
ever, argued that the State never
relinquished it's final jurisdic-
ton and responsibility" to build
needed highways anywhere. It
stated the 1880 act was intended
Gin no wise to infringe or elm
mate" the States right.
The controversial Southeast
leg of 240 held the spotlight to-
day, however, with the NCPC
meeting in all-day sessions.
Members expressed shock at
Mr.. McCain's blunt statement.
and said the legal issues were
waived during the talks yeSter-
day.
Legal Action Posed.
The big question facing the
commission apparently is wheth-
erin the event it opposes the
so-called Alternate B route-it
wants to take legal action to try
to stop it.
John Nolen, jr., NCPC direc-
tor, said two main considera-
tions are involved for the COM
mission:
/. The impact of the proposed
dual highway on the nearby
Maryland parks.
2. Its reaction to the State
position that the parkway should
continue beyond the District
line and run the length of Rock
Greek Park into Washington.
Such an extension already has
been backed by District Engi-
neer Commissioner Louis w.
PrentiSs.

did it by attacking the FEPC,

Call for Breakdown,
Senator Wiley Warns
President Urged to Act
ForcefuIIy Against Foes
Of His Foreign Policy

Chairman Wiley of the Sen.
ate Foreign Relations Commit
tee today called on President
Eisenhower to deal forcefully
with the "Syngman Rhees,' .
"saboteurs," "maicortents" and
"goldbricks" in the Republican
Party who are sabotaging his
foreign policy.
If the President doesn't do so,
Senator Wiley warned, the
schisms these men cause "can
destroy not only the Republican
Party, but can make a shambles
of the Eisenhower administra-
ton"
In a strongly worded speech
before a United States Trade
Mark Association luncheon meet
ing in New York, Senator Wiley
took sharp issue with many oi
his colleagues who have beer
critical of the Administration
policy. He conceded they are
patriots.
But, he added, eff they can't
have their own way, they don't
want to play ball at all. And
they don't mind wrecking the
ball game. They take actions
which gravely endanger the we'll

gested that the administration

may be-"
"This does not mean whip
cracking" he said. But it does
mean realism and bluntness in
self defense"
Some people in the Republican
Party, Senator Wiley said, still
don't seem to realize that they
now are in charge of the Gov
ernment. "It is we who will be
held responsible before history"
he said. 'It is a Republican
President in the White House.

right down the line-to recog-
nize further its responsibility to
encourage such teamwork. rather
than to idly permit and fail to
discourage responsibility.
"The whole administration has
an obligation-to fulfill the

Executive last November. 1t will

Sources close to Mr.. Rhee sug-

he would personally attend such
a meeting. Rather, Washington
speculation was that either Sec

they agreed on a formula for

Sabre Jets Raise
June Bag Of Migs
To "a For Record

SEOUL, Up - Sabre Jet pilots
Tuesday shot down Is Commu-
mist Migs and raised their June
bag to IA, a record-smashing total
run up without the loss of a single
Sabre in air combat.
''Never has the issue of Sabre
versus Mig been SO convincingly
resolved" said 1t. Gen. S. E. An
derson, Fifth Air Force command
er, in message to his pilots.
It was Anderson who put out
figures showing that not a single
Sabre was shot down by a Mig
in June. He said 143 Migs were
shot down in the past rs days at
the cost Of one Sabre. That Sabre
was lost in May when the Fifth
Air Force ran up 55-1 margin.
The Sabres closed out June in
blaze Of glory. Not only did they
smash the mOnth record OF G3

erased the old single day mark Of

The ground war dwindled to
mostly probes and skirmishes,
but the Eighth Army announced
