Flanders AssaiIs
George Tax Cut as
Expensive Phony'
Sees Only 80c q Week
Saving to Many in
low-Woee Brackets
By the Associated Press

Senator Flanders. Republican,
OF Vermont today characterized
as IAN expensive phony" a plan
of Senator George. Democrat. of
Georgia to cut individual income
taxes by sharply raising exemp-
tons for each taxpayer and his
dependents.
Senator Flanders made the
remark in an interview as Re-
publicans in both the Senate
and House sought to tighten
their lines against the Demo-
cratic drive to raise the ex-
emptions.
Senator Flanders, who serves
on the tax-writing Finance Com
mittee. said the George pro-
posal would mean only peanuts"
to low-income taxpayers.
Revenue Lost in Billions.
For instance, he said, the
benefit would be only 80 cents
a week to an individual in the
low-wage bracket with no de-
pendents.
But Senator Georges plan
would be expensive to the Gov
eminent. he said, costing S4.5
billion in revenue this year and
about SO billion in succeeding
years.
Senator George, senior Demo-
crat on the Finance Committee,
proposes to increase the exemp-
lions from the present $500 to
$500 this year and to $1,000 for
1855 and thereafter.
1t seemed clear that the ad-
ministration's tax strategy would
be to let 1912 million of excise
tax cuts voted by the House
Wednesday slide through the
Senate without serious fight
and to concentrate on beating
the income tax exemption in
creases.
Hearings Next Week.
The Senate Finance Commit
tee is to conduct hearings on the
excise measure next week. It
will hear Secretary of the Treas
ury Humphrey oppose the cuts
Wednesday.
Key committee members said
they knew of only two votes out
of the Is on the group in favor
of knocking out the House excise
These presumably would be
cast by Senator Byrd. Democrat.
of Virginia and Senator Williams,
Republican. of Delaware. Both
contend that the budget should
be balanced before any further
tax reductions are made.
Chairman Millikin of the
finance group said he expects
the Senate to pass the excise
bill in about the same form as
the House sent it over. But he
said the administration could not
stand the loss of revenue which

Guatemala insisted, over United

of State Dulles, who had planned
to head back to Washington
today. protested that it would

MI. Dulles. in brief remarks
opening today's session, had
appealed for rejection of all
amendments.
Some nations had wanted such
reservations to spell out more

resolution would not permit in
tervention into the internal af-
fairs of any one state.
Guatemala, accused by United
States officials in Washington
of being nist-dominated,
has fought bitter. lone battle
against the resolution. That
country's representatives here

Red influence and claim they are
fighting for democracy.

Other Work Speeded.
Other committees of the con-

aiming at adjournment before

economic subcommittee agreed
yesterday to call a conference
of American finance ministers
later this year. possibly in WASH

economic affairs confronting the

To most of the Latin Amer

problems are more pressing than

Their demands for United States

NEW YORK. Jan. ga State
Supreme Court justice has
denied for the time being a plea
by an insurance policyholder for
a probe of alleged management
misconduct in the Equitable AS

The case arose as the result
of a 1851 report by State In
surance Supt. Alfred J. Bohlinger.
Mr.. Bohlinger's report asserted
that Thomas I. Parkinson,
chairman of the company's
Board of Directors, practiced
"nepotism" (favoring relatives)
in steering company advertising
to his son.
The directors have said Mr..
Parkinson is leaving his $780,

expires next month.
The policyholder, Manhattan

officers. He demanded in court
that action be taken by the
State Attorney General or the
insurance commissioner.

day but said he could renew his

Twining Indicates
BY the Associated Press

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 20 -
Gen. Nathan F. Twining said
last night that the plans for a
r37-wing Air Force by mid 1857
"call for an increase in our long
range bomber force that is capa-
BILE Of striking back at an ag-
greSsor wherever he will be hurt
most"
The Air Force Chief of Staff,
in an address before $50 persons
at an air power banquet spon-
sored by the Chamber of Com
merce here, said North American
cities are now within reach Of
hundreds Of Russian planes OPP
Grating across the Arctic.
"The best and perhaps the
only way to prevent Soviet bomb
ers from imposing terrible de-
struction on the United States is
to maintain the balance Of long
range air power in our favor"
he said.
While Gen. Twining did not
go into details regarding the
shift in emphasis to heavy bomb
ers, it was recalled the Air Force
disclosed earlier this week that
two wings Of BAT medium bomb
ers would be cut from the 1877
wing buildup program.
Gen. Twining's comment thus
suggested that this reduction in
strategic air command medium
units will be balanced or more
than balanced by increase in
the number of wings of heavy
bombers. presumably in the new
all-jet B-52S.
The B-52 is described officially
as even faster than the medium
Bat which flies over 600 miles
an hour. Range Of the B-52 will
be extended by mid-air refueling.

Hearings Open Today
On Move 10 Force
Justices 10 Retire

A Senate subcommittee opens
hearings today on a proposed
constitutional amendment to re-
quire Supreme Court justices to
retire at rs and prevent any
member from becoming Presi-
dent or Vice President within
1lve years after leaving the court.
Former Supreme Court Justice
Owen j. Roberts was among the
first scheduled witnesses. The
resolution was introduced by
Senator Butler. Republican. Of
Maryland.
The Senate judiciary subcom-
mittee for the hearings is headed
by Senator LANCER, Republican,
Of North Dakota. It also includes
Senators Butler, Dirksen, Repub-
lican, Of Illinois, and Kilgore of
West Virginia and Kefauver of
Tennessee, Democrats.
Besides setting the retirement
age and restricting presidential
candidates. of Justices who leave
the court. the amendment would
fix the number Of Justices at
nine, as at present, and remove
from Congress in constitutional
cases the power to narrow the
appellate jurisdiction of the Su-
preme Court.
Senator Butler declared the
amendment would discourage
moves such as those he said were
attempted in 1887 to pack" the
tribunal. The amendment, he ex-
planned, would "fortify the indie
pendence" Of the court and pro-
tect its jurisdiction and power If
any President or Congress tried
to weaken the judicial branch.
