BY ZOE HALL.

WASHINGTON R-Sensitive to
the political implications involved,
Senate Republicans leaders pom.
dered today whether to offer a
substitute of their own if they find
they don't have the votes to defeat
a Democratic-sponsored income
tax cut proposal.
A showdown vote on the Demo.
cratic proposal-calling for a $1O0
boost in the $500 personal income
tax exemption-was due sometime
during the afternoon. The issue
was very much in doubt.
Sen. Millikin (R-Colo), chief sig.
nal caller for the legislation, sum-
moned the 48 Republican senators
into a closed-door strategy session
just half an hour before the SEN
ate was scheduled to meet.
He was expected to count noses
then to see if there would be
enough COP OBJECTIONS to put over
the Democratic move.
If so, it was considered likely
the Republican leadership would
come up with a compromise plan.
The possibility mentioned most
prominently was a proposed $40
cut for each taxpayer-$4O for a
man and wife filing a Joint return.
This would be figured as a credit
on tax returns. The Democrats
once considered this plan.
The Democratic proposal is be.
ing offered as an amendment to the
administrations general tax revi-
sion bill, a measure described by
President Eisenhower as the cor
nerstone of his 1854 legislative pro-
gram.

The Mexican Embassy bulged
with leftist and Communist refu-
gees, just as FL Salvador's diplo-
matte home here had been
crammed with fugitives from Ar
benz's government before the
army forced him to resign Sunday
night. Other Reds and former gov
eminent officials holed up in the
Argentine Embassy.
US. Embassy sources said that
along with Arbenz, those in the
Mexican compound included for
mer Foreign Minister Guillermo
Toriello, former Interior Minister
Charnaud Macdonald and such top
Communists as Jose Manuel For
tu1y, Victor Manuel Gutierrez and
Julio Estrada.
Junta Fugitives
Also reported in the Mexican
Embassy were two members -
Monzon was the third - of the
36-hour-old junta which supplanted
Arbenz Sunday night and was it.
self replaced yesterday. The fugi-
tive members were Col. Carlos En-
rique Diaz, the provisional Presi-
dent and army chief of staff under
Arbenz, and Col. Jose Angel San
chez.
The new government warned,
however, that the safe conduct
abroad 1t had promised to political
refugees would not apply to chose
guilty of crimes, killings and MUIR

accounts of government officials
and Communists to prevent sudden
transfers of funds abroad.

flists and the intimation that the
wars end was near brought Guate-
lnala City to life yesterday for the
first time in weeks.
Anti Communist feeling ran high.
Crowds roamed the streets, tear
ing down Red posters and shout
ing, Down with the Communists. !"
Crowds Demonstrate
A large crowd nearly rioted at
the Mexican Embassy and a heavy
guard of soldiers protected the gov
eminent officials and Reds taking
refuge inside.
Political prisoners arrested by
Arbenz's Communist dominated
police poured from the prisons.
They said they had been tortured
and beaten almost daily - until
June rs, the day before the Presi-
dent was ousted.
Of the four junta members who
took over the government yester-
day, only Monzon is generally
known to the public. The others are
Col. Mauricio Dubois, who. was
named minister Of foreign rela-
tons; Col. Enrique Klos de Leon,
communications minister; and Col.
Jose Luis Cruz Salazar, defense
minister.
Monzon resigned as President

sured him for cracking down on
the Communists, then returned to
the Cabinet under Arbenz as min
lister without portfolio.
When Arbenz was forced out
Sunday night, he remained as a
member of Diaz's junta, and then
led the faction which forced the
army chief out yesterday.

Dickey said two draglines were
used on the job for 10 hours on
Sept. 10, 1853.
Marsh then asked him how many
draglines were used.
Albury objected, saying the re-

overruled by Judge Caro- and took
an exception.
Dickey then said one dragline
was used for nine hours.
He reiterated that he worked on

This statement is not an easy

The investigation must go for

perhaps more important, with
the absolute confidence of the
people. At no time should there
be an opportunity for any one
to feel that all the facts are not

At least eight tornadoes struck
Midwest areas yesterday-five

in Kansas.
No deaths or injuries were

more than a dozen farms in
Iowa and Missouri while the
eighth struck southwest of Riley,
KanS.
-Four tornadoes swept through
Southwest Iowa at suppertime
and another struck west of
Marshalltown in the central part
of the State.
Two other twisters smashed
across seven farms in the West
boro area of Atchison County, in
Northwest Missouri.
One of the tornadoes swept

19 large "cue cards." On each
of these cards, measuring about
3 by 4 feet. were key words of
the various sections of the talk.
For those who wondered why
the President looked constantly
to his left, instead of straight
ahead, during the first few min
utes of his talk. Mr.. Hagerty had
the explanation. He said the
President mistook a newsreel
camera for the live" television
camera and was looking at it.
Gen. Eisenhower himself ap-
peared to like the "cue-card"
technique. Mr.. Hagerty said. He
made plain. however, that this
does not mean that all the Presi-
dents television speeches will
follow the same technique.
A speech on a complicated
subject like taxes, for instance,
might have to be read textually.

the hearing to be of the highest
Importance and would not want
the credibility of the proceed
ings to be handicapped from the
very outset by any alleged word,
deed or commitment that I
might have uttered in the past.
And so, in view of the discus
sion and controversy which fol-
lowed my retention as counsel
and of the allegations which
have been made. most of which
are without foundation, believe
1T is in the public interest that
I withdraw as counsel in this
matter.
I should like to add a few
words. It is most gratifying to
me that the subcommittee has
expressed the utmost confidence
in me as lawyer and my ability
to act fairly, and what is more
important. my integrity.
The test is not whether I am
biased; it is whether I am be-
lieved to be unbiased.

PARIS, April .6.-The North
Atlantic Council handed severe
AND unprecedented reprimand to
Frances Marshal Alphonse
Pierre JUN today for his criti-
cism of the proposed European
Defense Community.
The action by the permanent
delegates of the IA NATO pow
ers heightened the virtual GER
tainty here that either France
would have to ask that Marshal
JUN be relieved as commander
in chief of allied forces in Cen
trail Europe or the marshal
would have to resign.
ANY military officer receiving
this might be impelled to resign, u
a NATO spokesman commented.
Marshal JUN reiterated an
earlier statement yesterday he
would quit the post only if as
Sured 1t would go to another
Frenchman, something most OBJ
servers think is a certainty.
The NATO spokesman said to-
day the council does not intend
for other than a Frenchman to
command the central sector. He
said there is no specific written
commitment giving the post to
France. but there is a very solid
agreement to that effect.
Reprimand Delivered.

mand yesterday and it was de-
livered to Marshal JUN this
morning. It said:

mer President Truman said to-
day the Anglo-American wartime
atomic agreement still is in effect.
The agreement was disclosed
publicly yesterday for the first
time by Prime Minister Churchill

AS a result he was involved to-
day in one of the bitterest po-
litical storms of his career.
James Hagerty, White House

the agreement is not in effect
at present.
Today, however. Mr.. Truman
said it is.
H-BOmb Not Involved.
The former President said in
an interview, however, the agree
ment did not apply to the hydro
gen bomb, which was developed
later.
Asked whether such an agree
ment, made in war years with
President Roosevelt, had not
been terminated by the McMa-
hon Act, which forbids sharing
of United States atomic secrets
with foreign governments, Mr..
Truman said the act did not
cover the British American
agreement.
I'VE weren't sharing our Sc
crets with the British" Mr.. Tru-
man explained. They we're
sharing theirs with U.s."
He said the British had spent
$40 million on atomic research.

AS for the secrecy" of the
agreement, Mr.. Truman said:
Il knew about it and so did
foreign relations committees of
both houses. 1t was a good agree
ment. There was no secret about
1t to the people who were en-
titled to know about it."
The former President said he
renewed the agreement with
former Prime Minister Clement
Attlee of Britain and Prime Min
lister w. l.. Mackenzie King of
Canada when I got back from
Potsdam" in the summer of
l945. He said he did not recall
the exact date.
He added that members of the
foreign relations committees OF
both houses were present when
the agreement was renewed.
There was nothing mysteri-
Gus about it," Mr.. Truman said.
1t was done to bring and pre-.
serve peace in the world"
