Pope's Night ResffuI,
But Care Is Constant

VATICAN CITY, Feb. "a -
Pope Plus XII spent "a fairly
restful night" Vatican sources
said today. Rounding out a
month of illness, he remained
under constant care.
The 77-year-old spiritual leader
of the Roman Catholic Church
has been confined to his Vatican
apartment since January Is,
when he was stricken by severe
gastrItiS that steadily weakened
him. A round-th clock watch
established when he fell ill has
never been lifted.
The Vatican newspaper Los
servatore Romano printed COM
munique yesterday cautioning
against too optimistic reports on
the Pope's convaleScence. It said
rapid recovery would be impos-
Sible because of "the nature of
the illness and the general con-
ditions Of the august pontiff."

New Income Tax Cuts
Likely, High 6. 0. P.
Source Predicts
Congressional Leaders
And President Discuss
Problems for w Hours
BY the Associo,ed Press

A high Republican source said
today the Eisenhower admins
tration probably would go along
later in this congressional SEES
sion with some further individ-
ual income tax cuts.
But G. o. P. congressional
leaders threw no light on this
prospect as they came out of a
1l2-hour conference with the
President at the White House.
House Speaker Martin said
the subject of taxes did not
come up in the conference. He
told newsmen he knew nothing
in the works at this time beyond
plans to consider in the next
few weeks a general tax revision
bill. and a bill dealing with cor
poration and excise tax cuts
now due to take effect April /.
A well-informed Republican,
however. said pressure is build
ing up for individual income
tax cuts and he expects the ad-
miniStration probably will 60
along ultimately with some re-
auctions. The cuts could be
made retroactive to the first of
the year, he added.
House Democrats Disagree.
Meanwhile. House Democrats
reported a disagreement over
whether they should try to
squash up to So billion in busi-
ness benefits in the Republican,
sponsored general tax revision
bill.
Several Democrats on the tax
writing House Ways and Means
Committee said the issue has
developed in planning their
strategy for drive to increase
all individual income tax ex-
emptions from 5000 to $500.
They will fight on the House
floor to write the exemption in
crease, which would reduce in
come taxes by about 1925 billion
year, into the tax revision bill
now nearing completion within
the committee.
Some Republican committee
members said they have been
discussing informally whether to
try to head off the Democratic
move by proposing income tax
cuts themselves.
But there was no indication of
leSSened opposition by the Eisen-
hover administration, or Repub-
llcan congressional leaders. to
such action at this time.
G. o. p. Studies New Idea.
One proposal discussed by Re-
publican committee members
would increase individual exemp-
tions by $50 to $3.50, but also
would provide a S per cent cut
across the board in personal in
come tax rates.
An exemption increase con-
centrates relief among low in
come and large family groups.
relieving millions of taxpayers
from any income tax bill at all.
An across the board rate cut
gives more dollar reductions to
middle and upper income brack-
cts.
Democrats urging an increase
from $500 to $700 in the exemp-
ton contend it would increase
consumer purchasing power and
stimulate business.
The House committee has
reached the final round in it's
year-long battle to revise the
basic Federal tax system. 1t eX-
pected to vote on a few remain
ing provisions before nightfall.
Another week may be neces-
sary. however. for shaping up
the formal draft and completing
a report to accompany the bill
when it is submitted to the
House, probably next Wednesday.

tary of State Dulles formal re-
port to President Eisenhower
and the American people on
the Berlin meeting. The Secre-
tary insisted anew before the
House Foreign Affairs Commit
tee yesterday that the American
agreement for a Far Eastern

China in no way indicated diplo-
matte recognition of the Red

Senator George, however, said
he regards acceptance of Red
China as a parley member as

"a foot in the door" toward
eventual recognition by both the
United Nations and the United

He said he doesn't see how
some sort of recognition could
be denied the Communists if
any formal agreements are
reached at Geneva on either
Korea or 1ndo-China.
I'VE would have to sign the
agreements with them and that
would be recognition that they

Committee by a man about to be

But Capitol police had no
such report-oficially. at least.
They sent over a man to talk
to Wilson. and at his re.

and demanded admission. While
waiting to see whether he would

Office of Senator Dirksen, Re-
publican, of Illinois.
Vice President Nixon, who re-
portedly has been trying to med
late the dispute. was standing
by in an adjoining Office.
Secretary Stevens said as he
arrived: II will have no COM
ment on anything now. will
have plenty of comment tomor-
row." He is scheduled to testify
tomorrow before Senator Nc
Carthy's Investigations Subcom-
mittee.
Efforts apparently were made
to keep the meeting a secret and
Senator Mccarthy would not dis
cuSs it at all in advance.
Senator Mundt. Republican, Of
South Dakota, also was in on
the meeting. Both he and SEN
ator Dirksen are members of
Senator McCarthy'S subcommit-
tee.
PereSS Is Basic Issue.
He and Mr.. Stevens have been
arguing over an honorable dis
charge given DR.. Irving Peress.
a New York dentist and reserve
Army major accused by Sena-
tor Mccarthy of having Com
munist affiliations. Mr.. Stevens
has charged Senator Mccarthy
with abusing Army officers
called to testify in closed hear
ings on the case.
Their name-calling dispute
reached such proportions that
Republican leaders. including
Mr.. Nixon. took a hand in the
matter and arranged the meet
ing looking toward an aulicable
settlement of the dispute before
Mr.. Stevens goes before the
subcommittee tomorrow.
Democrats Unaware of Move.
Democratic members of the
subcommittee apparently were
unaware of the meeting. Senator
Mcclellan, of Arkansas, the
ranking Democratic subcommit-
tee member, said he hadn't heard
about it.
Persons familiar with the
backstage maneuvering to end
another Mccarthy ruckus with
the administration said peace
making efforts underway were
the possible reason why Secre-
tary Stevens appearance before
the committee was put off until
tomorrow. He had been sched-
uled to testify yesterday on the
PereSS case.
Republican leaders were said
to be determined that President
Eisenhower should be kept out
OF the controversy between Mr..
Stevens and Senator Mccarthy
The White House has. refrained
from any comment about it.
Size Of Controversy Is Trouble.
Those seeking to get the row
settled are of the opinion the
controversy should never have
reached the proportions it has,
particularly in view of the nature
OF the Peress case, the dentists
service record and the Army's
actions in the matter.
