have rejected tunnel proposals
as too costly and as impractical
engineering-wise. Mr.. Singstad
said their cost estimates of be-
tween $50 and $50 million were
"fantastically high"
The big question. to which the

When the beam strikes mud

Tax Cut Drive
In S. Studied
By Democrats
House Group Booking
Early Action Contrary
To Eisenhower Plun
sy he A.soe'alsg Pres,

Democrats on the House Ways
and Means Committee said today
they are considering an early
drive to cut everybody's income
taxes.
The move, II 1t develops, would
be q reversal of earlier strategy
TO wait until next year to con-
slider tax cuts.
It would run headon into
President Eisenhower's declara-
tion on Monday against tax cuts
this year because Of an antici-
pated $2.4o8, ,0o0. 900 deficit in
the bookkeeping year beginning
July l.
It also seemed likely to run
into significant Democratic OPP
position In the Senate where
Senator Byrd Of Virginia and
Senator George of Georgia all
ready are on record as against
tax reductions this year.
Deficit Is Big Factor.
The continuing Federal deficit
loomed as the biggest factor
against the House Democrats
tax-cutting plan. But Democrats
backing the proposal argue that
Republicans cut taxes last year in
the face of an even bigger deficit
than is now anticipated for next
fiscal year.
Representative Boggs. Demo-
crat. of Louisiana, said he IA
yored writing q general income
tax cut into the Eisenhower adj
nlinistrationss bin to postpone
about SO billion in corporation
and excise tax cuts. now set to
become effective on April /.

Federal revenues by about $2.5
billion over q full year, and re-
lieve about 4 million low-income
or big-fanniiy taxpayers from
any income tax bill at all.
so FIat Cut studied.
Also under study was d nat
| $40 tax cut FOR each taxpayer
and each dependent. This
would cost the Treasury about
SIS billion q year.
None of the proposals under

Well-posted sources said the

keg.
The Presidents remarks came
as Secretary Of State Dulles en-
gagged in a series Of high-level
diplomatic conferences which
could be concerned with initiat-
ing some action in the U. N.
Against Direct Intervention.
Mr.. Eisenhower appeared to
rule out any idea Of direct Amer
ican Intervention in the current
island lighting, although he said
he could not speculate on what
the United States should do.
He told his news conference
that the Tachen Islands, under
bombing attacks by the Chinese
Communists, were not a vital
element in the defense of For
mosa and the Pescadores, which
this country is committed to help
defend.
The Nationalist-held Tachens
lie just OF the Chinese Commu-
mist mainland are are only 3
miles from the island of Yikiang-
shan. which the Reds captured
yesterday.
Valuable as Outposts.
While the Tachens are not
vital In defense Of Nationalist
Formosa. Mr.. Eisenhower said,
there is no use denying that
they are Of value as outposts for
observation.
He pointed out that a Chi
nese Nationalist division occu-
pies the Tachens, In saying that
he would not try to speculate
on what the United States
should do. he said he was not
informed yet regarding Chang
KAi-shek's intentions In that
particular region.
The Presidents attitude to-
ward a possible U. N. attempt to
arrange q cease fire was much
more positive than that shown
by Secretary Dulles in a news
conference yesterday. This in
dicated that the question had
received serious consideration
overnight.
Mr.. Dulles said yesterday that
he could not object If the United
Nations wanted to try to ar
range a cease fire, but that he
was not proposing such action.
Sees Both Sides Resisting.
Indicating doubts about the
success Of such an attempt, If it
were arranged. Mr.. Eisenhower
said that probably both the
Chinese Nationailsts and Com
li1unists would resist U. N. inter-
ference in what they probably
would insist was an internal af-
fair.
Asked about a proposal that
Fornnosa be considered q separate
independent nation which could
lead to an exchange Of mutual
security assurances between the
Nationalist and Communist Chi
nese governments. the President
said that was one Of the possi-
bilities constantly studied. But

attack Of the Chinese civil wal

the Nationalist defense ministry

the Reds yesterday. 1t was be-
lieved here, however, that only
isolated groups were still fighting
and that Red conquest Of the
312-square-mile island was near
ly complete.
(The Reds claimed Yikiang-
shan was conquered in two
hours. Peiping Radio. quoting
the official newspaper, Peoples
Daily. called the invasion "a
victory of modern military
technique" 1t added. "The

Nationalist warpianes struck

the Southeast China coast and In
the Annoy and SwatoW areas.
The Defense Ministry said heavy
losses were inflicted. The Ma

"indiscriminate bombing" Of the
Tachens.
zoo Planes Attack.
More than 200 Soyiet-type
warplanes roared out from the
Red mainland and hammered
the Tachen Islands. 1t was
taken for granted here that the
offshore islands, 200 miles north
of FormoSa. would be next on
the Communist timetable.
Actual invasion may not come
until the Tachens have been
softened up from the air. The
islands are reoprted to be well
fortified and strongly manned,
and having terrain that makes
them almost ideal for defensive
warfare.
The statement by Secretary Of
State Dulles that the United
States would offer no objection
TO the United Nations seeking a
ceasefire in the civil war caused
a real sensation here.
Nationalist UnfavOrabIe.
Qualified sources indicated
the Nationalists would fatty re-
ject such an idea. Official quar-
ters refused to talk for publica-
ton. but there was no mistaking
their unfavorable reaction.
There is a general impression
here, too. that Mr.. Dulles in
effect was telling the Comrnu-
nists they needn't worry about
the United States 7th Fleet in
teryening If Chang Kai-shek's
island outposts are attacked.
Mr.. Dulles told a Washington
press conference the Tachens
were Of marginal Importance, at
best, in the defense Of Formosa.
The United States Is committed
to the defense Of Formosa and
Of the Pescadores.
A threat to Pishan, a Nation
alist island 50 miles southwest Of
the Tachens. also appeared to
be developing.
The Nationalist reported the
Communists fired 1872 shells at
Pishan and said Red warships
were in the vicinity.

Tealnsfers Sign
Pact With ILA

NEW YORK, Nov. 28 P).-
The AFL international Brother
hood Of Teamsters and the In
dependent international Long
shoremen's Association have
signed a mutual assistance pact
which was in negotiation for
mine months.
! The pact, which runs until
July. 1853. was signed yesterday
la week before the joint conven-
ton of the AFL and CIO for
unification of the two labor
groups.
The lila was ousted from the
AFL two years ago for failure to
cleanse itself of racketeering
elements.
A joint statement by the long
shoremen's and teamsters' un-
lions said the mutual assistance
pact was initiated by Capt. Will
liam v. Bradley, president of
the LILA, and Einar o. Mohn.
vice president of the IBT.
There was no indication of
any plan to merge the IBT and
lila.
Union leaders said the prime
objective of the pact is joint
lorganizational campaigns.
Capt. Bradley said the LILA will
get whatever aid Is necessary
from the IBT in carrying out the
pact, but that financial assistance
lis not included.
'The LILA does not need finan-
cial adjust needs the co-op-
leration Of the teamsters." he
