The earlier utterances Of

determination Of these Asiatic
peoples to resist Red agrees

But in the six weeks Of

the impression among these

Senate Floor Fight Expected
On Tax Cut for Wuqe Farmers

the higher personal exemption
proposal. He offered it yesterday
as substitute for the House
move to grant relief only to
recipients of dividends.
Senator George told reporters
he wants to consult some of his
colleagues before deciding to Of
fer the $500 personal exemption
on Monday.
He agreed that the committee
decision in favor Of tax relief for
dividends increases the chances
of persuading the entire Senate
to vote some broader relief for
taxpayers generally.
81 would hate to 60 to the
floor with this relief for recipi-
ents Of dividends and no relief
for 80 per cent Of the taxpayers, ="
said Senator George.
Political Issue.
With congressional elections
only a few months away, the
George proposal has more po-
litical appeal than the House
plan. which was designed to meet
the argument that dividends are
subject to double taxation, first
as corporation income and later
as income to stockholders.
IF the Finance Committee I'm
ishes work on the bill Monday
or Tuesday. the tax experts will
still need 10 days to get the
voluminous measure ready for
floor debate. The bill is the first
attempt in more than half q
century to rewrite and modernize
the entire internal revenue code.
Congressional tax experts said
the George $40 credit would cost
more than 81 billion q year.
Senator George estimated. how
ever. that it would not have ex-
ceeded the $500 million ultimate
cost of the limited relief of recip-
tents Of dividends.

Gen. James Van Fleet has
returned temporarily to Wash
ington to make an interim re-
port on the mission entrusted
to him by President Eisen-
hover to observe and analyze
the military situation in the
Western Pacific.
Before seeing the Chief Ex-
ecutive he spoke before a joint
congressional committee on
foreign relations. Judging by
the long faces of those who
attended Gen. Van Fleets
presentation. it would be JUS
tif1able to conclude that the
retired general did not have
any particularly CHEEKY news
for the present or the future.
The comment attributed to
Gen. Van Fleet that "our poll
cies in the Far East need a
large dose of vitaminS" would
indicate that our present ap-
proach to Asiatic affairs of
"talk much and do nothing"
has begun to have a serious
effect on our friends and al
lies in the areas visited by
the general.

is considered a necessity since
the French and British are

Red China and open up the

statehood for Hawaii, revision

Red Rejection Expected. -H
They were almost certain to
reject the Pyun proposals and
repeat their demand for Com
munist-style elections repeatedly
rejected by the West.
. The 16 United Nation allies Of
the Korean war agreed yesterday
to a proposal by United States
Undersecretary Of State Walter
Bedell Smith to call a restricted
session on Korea Monday.
Apart from a brief procedural
debate early in the conference.
Mondays session will be the
first to discuss the Korean prob
lem privately. It will be limited
to the Big Four, Red China and
North and South Korea.
Break of Studied.
A conference source said the
purpose of the restricted session
was to find the most elegant
means of breaking off the Ko-
rean talks" in view of the ap-
parently irreconcilable positions
of the two sides.
The informant said the 16
u. N. allies yesterday discussed
their strategy for adiourning
the Korean phase of the con-
ference"
One Western source said the
Communists will never make a
concession liable to endanger,
their absolute hold on North
Korea. The only possible prog
ress would be by way of still
further concessions by the West
and we already Nave made
enough of those"
British Foreign Secretary An
thony Eden flew back to London
last night. He is not due back
until Tuesday, when the con-
ference is expected to switch to
Indo-China with the first semi
public session after a series OF
closed-door meetings.
Demanded by MOlOtOv.
The unrestricted session was
demanded by RuSsia's Foreign
Minister v. M. Molotov, who had
expressed annoyance over failure
of many delegations to main.
tain conference secrecy.
The Indo-China talks have
been making little perceptible
progress, but both sides seemed
reluctant to talk yet of breaking
off negotiations.

A Senate floor fight to give
more tax relief to all wage earn
ers today appeared likely, de-
spite the failure of such a
proposal in the Senate Finance
Committee late yesterday.
In an unexpected committee
move, Senator George, Demo-
crat, of Georgia, tried to amend
the House-approved general tax
bill to give each taxpayer a fiat
$40 credit against whatever tax
he or she would owe for this
year under existing rates.
It was offered by the Georgian
as a substitute for a House plan
to cut taxes only on income from
dividends.
After beating the George
proposal, 10 to with one not
voting, the committee approved
the House relief for recipients of
dividend income. The second
vote was 8 to 4 with two not
voting.
House Plan Explained.
For the coming year the House
plan exempts from an individ-
ual's tax the first $50 of dividend
income, and allows him a 5 per
cent credit on the remainder Of
such income.
After July 81, 1866, the
exemption would be 500 and the
credit 10 per cent against the
remainder. For the first year
this would grant relief to seven
million taxpayers and would
cost the Treasury $240 million.
Eventually, it would cut Treas
ury income by more than $500
million a year.
Senator George for several
months has been planning to
propose additional tax relief
for wage earners by increasing
the individual exemption from
$500 to $500. which would re-
duce taxes by $4.5 billion, and
such a motion still may be made
before the Senate committee
! completes action next week.
