WASHINGTON, LR - President Eisenhower chalked up a big vic tory in House passage yesterday of a major tax revision bill with out a personal income tax cut he opposed, but an even tougher fight was shaping up in the Sen ate today.
 With party lines holding un- usually firm, the House beat down 210 204 a Democratic move to slash income taxes S2,400,000,000 a year by raising the personal ex- emption for each taxpayer and dependent from $500 to S7OO.
 The whole tax issue is certain to be aired at length in the com ing campaign for control of Con- gress. There were sharply vary ing appraisals of yesterdays House action.
 Rep. KirWan of Ohio, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said that as a result he has raised from 45 to 50 his estimate of anticipated Democratic gains in the House in November His Republican coun- terpart, Rep. Richard MI Simpson of Pennsylvania, replied that the tax action will bring votes to the COP. He predicted Republican gains of 25 House seats.
 After rejecting the exemption boost, the House passed by a 339- 80 vote the 875-page tax revision bill to which the Democrats tried to attach the reduction in income levies.
 This measure would reWrite the entire tax code for the first time in 70 years. It covers such a broad range of subjects that Senate floor consideration of it may not come for two or three months.

 Wilson, under questioning by Sen. Kefauver said too that no cases of Communist or subversive infiltration in the armed forces had been exposed by any con- gressional committee that had not been previously known to defense officials.
 By indirection, this disputed contention by Sen. Mccarthy that his Investigations subcommittee had dug out subversives unknown to authorities.
 Senators raised the questions of "coddling'' and other words and phrases Mccarthy has used while Wilson was before them on an- other matter.
 The primary reason for his ap- pearance before the committee was to discuss proposed changes in the doctors draft law.
 The defense secretary said the armed services have 51 drafted absolute and complete confid-

 Truckers Behind Petition For His Custer From ARC

JUNEAU, LR - A. F. Ghiglione, head of the Alaska Road Commis- sion, says irate truckers in the Fairbanks area probably are be- hind the petition to Interior Sec retary Mckay asking Ghiglione's removal.
 The petitions were sent to Me Kay by Fourth Division Republi- can clubs. They charged the com mission chairman with being die tatorial and a poor administrator.
 Ghiglione said the charge pro- bably resulted from the closing of interior Alaska highways to heavy trucks, effective April l and con- tinuing until danger of damage to thaWing roads is past.
 The order calls for a 50 per cent reduction in truck tonnages during the thawing period. We've got millions of dollars worth of paw ing up there and we've got to pro- tect it," Ghiglione said.

To Investigate
 H-BOmb Blast For AvOidable Errors

WASHINGTON, LP - Rep. w. Sterling Cole R-NY) said today a congressional investigation will be pushed to determine whether avoidable errors were made during the monster hydrogen blast in the Pacific March l.
 Cole said the Senate House Atomic Energy Committee, which he heads, has begun questioning Atomic Energy Commission of ficials in closed sessions.
 Two committee members, Reps. Price and Van Zandt, yesterday called for a full-scale probe to learn why the 315 persons sub jected to unexpected radiation exposure were allowed clo e enough to the blast to be en- dangered.
 The blast, reportedly three or four times greater than expected, spilled nuclear dust well beyond the hazard zone which had been drawn.
 Twenty three Japanese fisher men, 80 miles away and outside the hazard zone, were badly burn ed. Price said the fact they got that close to the blast indicated a So- viet submarine could have pierced the security zone and witnessed the blast.

Enemies of Statehood Offer Lure of Federal Tax Exemption if Territories
 Will Accept Commonwealth Status

WASHINGTON, R- The enc mics of statehood for Alaska and Hawaii are holding out the lure of federal tax exemption if the two will accept the status of com monwealth.
 The inducement was offered yesterday by Sen. Monroney O. Okl0 as a substitute for the state hood bills now before the Senate.
 He said his plan was designed to compensate for the loss of vot- ing representation in Congress as the only thing missing from the full state status which they seek so eagerly .. :"
 Delegate Harrington R-HawaiD promptly labeled the common wealth proposal a ''phony" calculated to divert attention from the main issue" and unacceptable to island residents. If the common wealth plan is accepted, he said, Hawaii will ask a refund of ST. 60O,OOO,OOO in federal taxes it has paid under territorial status.
 The preamble declares it to be the desire of Congress to ''estab- fish a policy for the future for overseas or non-contiguous areas consistent with our ideas and prin- ciples as to the maximum degree of elf-government."
 Majority leader Knowland R- CaliD called it "a bargain base ment type of proposal' and urged it's sponsors to test it with an early vote.
 The only right of present states that would be lacking, Monroney said, is voting representation in Congress particularly the Sen ate.
 The Oklahoma senator indicated he would not oppose-should the commonwealth plan work out suc- cessfully mn giving the offshore areas representation in the House in proportion to their populations.
 Giving the areas two senators each, however, would give each Hawaii citizen 33 times the voting strength of a New York citizen, and in Alaska would magnify this over representation by four" he said.
 As to tax relief, the common wealth amendment proposes the same treatment for Hawaii and Alaska as is now accorded Puerto Rico-exemption from federal in come taxes and retention of all federal tax collections in the terri tory for local use.
 As territories, Hawaii and AL aska are now subject to all fed eral taxes. In the 1852 fiscaPyear, Hawaii paid $135, ,995,73O and Al aska S44,349,26O in taxes to the federal treasury.
