Plans 10 Finance
Dixon-Yates Plant
Approved by SEC
Al Vote Authorizes
Sole of SIS Million
Of Common Stock
BY the Associated Press

The Securities and Exchange
Commission today approved A.
nancing to start work on the
controversial Dixon-Yates power
project.
The commission, dividing Al,
authorized the issuance and sale
of $5.5 million Of comon stock.
The stock is to be issued by
Mississippi Valley Generating
Co., set up to build a private
power plant to feed power into
the Tennessee Valley Authority
grid as replacement for power
supplied by IVA for atomic in
stallations. The contract for the
project is with the Atomic Energy
Commission.
The stock is being sold to two
holding companies, Middle South
Utilities, Inc, and the Southern
Co., the sponsoring companies.
The project takes its popular
name from the chief officers of
those concerns, E. A. Yates and
Edgar Dixon.
Bitter Opposition in Congress.
Congress members from the
IVA area have bitterly opposed
the whole plan, insisting that it
is part of a program to encircle
and damage IVA.
Paul r. Rowen. one of the two
Democratic members of the
commission, dissented from the
decision to approve the stock
issue. The other Democrat, A..
j. Goodwin, jr.. voted with the
three Republicans.
Opponents of the Dixon-Yates
project indicated in advance of
the commissions decision that
they will appeal to the court in
an effort to block the financing.
The big money for the SLOT
million project is yet to be OBJ
tanned in loans which big in
surance companies have agreed
to provide.
Not Licked, Foes Say.
Meanwhile, Democratic oppon-
ents said they aren't licked, de-
spite the refusal of the Atomic
Energy Commission to drop the
Dixon-Yates contract.

McKeIdin Asks Rise
OF Over SIS Million
In Maryland Taxes
1-Cent SoIes Increase,
Income Levy Boost
Urged in Message
By Gene Goodwin
Stor Ssoff Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 9.-Gov.
McKeldin today presented the
Maryland Legislature a proposed
record budget Of $268.827 ,484 for
next fiscal year to be financed
with q penny increase in the
sales tax this year and a so per
cent boost in the State income
tax next year.
He also proposed a $9,698. 300
capital improvements program
for the fiscal year beginning July
/ to be financed by a half-cent
increase in the State real estate
levy.
1.-The tax proposals." the Re-
publican Governor told a joint
session of the Democratic-con-
trolled General Assembly. ire
fleet my best Judgment and that
of fiscal authorities as to the
most logical and more equitable
means of producing the revenue
we must have to continue our
services to the people at a high
level"
$30.5 Million Increase.
On each legislators desk as
the Governor spoke were four
books of 965 printed pages de-
failing the precedent-shatteri
tax and spending program. They
contained only minor surprises,
since the Governor had outlined
the highlights of his tax program
in earlier speeches.
The operating budget proposed
by the Governor is $30.5 million
higher than the current State
budget. Most of the increase is
in general fund appropriations.
which the Governor proposes to
raise to $128.3 million or $18.1
million more than is appropri-
ated today.
Cut Funds Requests.
Gov. McKeldin said he slashed
$3.5 million from general fund
appropriations requested by his
department heads.
The new budget, in addition,
proposes a $6.8 million increase
in special fund appropriations.
boosting them to a new total of
$110.8 million. Special funds are
moneys collected frcm estab-
lished sources and earmarked for
special purposes, such as the
gasoline tax which goes for road
building.
Also reflected in the new budg-
ct is $29.6 million in Federal aid
funds. an increase of $5.5 mil
lion over that received this fiscal
year.
The $18.1 million increase in
proposed general fund expendi-
tures-69 per cent of which
would go to schools-is what hits
the Maryland taxpayer in the
pocketbook. When it is coupled
with about S. million in surplus
funds and another IS million
from double collection of the
gross receipts tax on utilities
which were used to balance the
current budget but which will
not be available next year. the
gap between anticipated revenues
and expenditures comes out to
$23.3 million.

President Says Soviet Shakeup
Won't Affect Basic U.S.. Policy;
zhukov New Defense Minister
MuIenkov Gets
New Position as
Deputy Premier
By the Associated Press

MOSCOW, Feb. 9.-Georgi K.
zhukov, top Soviet military hero
and a warm wartime acquaint-
ance of President Eisenhower,
was appointed the new Defense
Minister of the Soviet Union to-
day.
Immediately after the an
nouncement, the Supreme Soviet
(Parliamen0 was informed that
Georgi M. Malenkov, who re-
signed yesterday as Premier, has
been named a deputy premier
and Minister of Power Stations.
Both nominations were made
by the new Premier, Nikolai A.
Bulganin, until yesterday the De-
fense Minister. A marshal of
the Soviet Union, Bulganin still
wore his army uniform at today's
meeting of this momentous Su-
preme Soviet session.
Marshal Bulganin, in his first
speech as Premier, pledged his
government to work unswerv-
ingly to expand the Soviet
Unions heavy industry in order
to build up Soviet armed might
and raise the country's living
standards.
Parliament Acts Unanimously.
He spoke just before the ap-
pointments of Mr.. Malenkov and
Marshal Zhukov were announced.
Both appointments were unani-
mously approved by a show of
hands Of the 1,300-member Par
liament's joint session in the
great Kremlin Palace.
Marshal Bulganin occupied
the Defense Ministry post until
this afternoon when he asked
the Parliament to relieve him Of
the post in view of his assump-
ton of the premiership.
Marshal Bulganin, portly and
epauletted, went to the stand
after a procession of other speak
ers who proclaimed the idea of
Soviet devotion to peace and a
determination to thwart what
they called aggressive American
designs.
During the last war;" said
Marshal Bulganin, there was
close collaboration between Eng
land, the United States and the
Soviet Union. It could have been
prolonged after the war and up
to now, and it is not our fault
that 1t has not been. It is be-
cause the Government of the
United States is trying to build
its policy toward the Soviet
Union from the so-called posi-
ton of strength"
Dangerous Task" for u. S. Seen.
With regard to the Far East
situation. in which MIR. Molotov
yesterday appeared to back Red
China to the hilt, Marshal Bull
ganin said:
"The American Government
has undertaken a dangerous task
in Taiwan (F'ormosa) in trying
to conquer Taiwan.
1--WE are surprised at the posi-
tion of the United Nations, which
up to now has not condemned
the aggressive American action.
The Chinese people receive much
support among our people"
Diplomats in the gallery noted
Marshal Bulganin carefully lin
tied any indication of official
Soviet support for possible Red
Chinese moves against Formosa.

evacuation was broadcast in a
message from Admiral Alfred M.
Pride, fleet commander, from his
flagship, the heavy cruiser Hell
ena. He said a few scattered
groups of civilians would be
embarked as soon as possible.
Meanwhile the ships began TAX
ing off Nationalist soldiers.
An American officer said the
shooting down of the Skyraider
was not considered a hostile act.
He explained the pilot appar-
emily wandered off course and
may have flown over the Red
Chinese mainland while on
patrol in the Tachens evacua-
ton area.
The pilot and his two crew
members were rescued.
Critical Moment Arrives.
Aboard the destroyer Estes,
the admiral commanding the
immediate evacuation said to-
day the removal of 10000 Chi
nese Nationalist civilians and
troops has reached "the critical
stage" with completion of the
civilian phase.
Rear Admiral Lorenzo Sher-
wood Sabin, jr., said: IF the
Communists are going to hit us
and I do not believe they will
this is the time they would
probably pick.
Il did not expect the Com
munists to hit us while we were
evacuating civilians because
even the Communists fear the
bad world opinion that would
result. But they could consider
the Nationalist soldiers their
sworn enemies and fair game
for an attack.
"And if we are in the way
when they hit, they would prob
ably say that is just too bad"
Plane Ditched Is Miles at Sea.
The shooting down of the Sky
raider occurred about Is miles
southwest of the Tachens at
1925 am.
A statement by Admiral Pride
said, THE aircraft mis-navi-
gated southwest of the Tachens
and was hit in the engine by
antiaircraft fire and ditched
four miles west of the Tachens. z"
The pilot, 1t. d. g. w. j.
O'Heren of Decatur, ILL.,. said
that because of low visibility he
did not know the source of the
gunfire. He said he could see
the spacing between shells and
it looked like 20-mm. antiair-
craft fire.
He ditched the plane about
four miles west of South Tachen
after the engine began splitting
oil and then sputtered to a stop

must be watchful and alert and
keep on building up Free World
strength as a basis for seeking
a just and lasting world peace.
He said there certainly was no
proof that the Soviet Union had
surpassed the United States in
development of the hydrogen
bomb, as Soviet Foreign Minister
Molotov hinted yesterday.
It would be a remarkable feat
II the Russians could do that, he
added, but it is not worthwhile
to speculate about it.
Emphasizes Peace.
In any event, he emphasized,
the H-bomb is so dangerous that
intelligent people everywhere
must concentrate on achieving
an understanding that would
prevent an H-bomb war.
Mr.. Eisenhower refused to
speculate on exactly what the
Soviet shakeup will mean to the
world. He did tell a questioner
that it does not necessarily mean
tougher relations between the
United States and Moscow.
The President spoke warmly
Of a friendly relationship at the
end of World War II with Mar
shal Georgi Zhukov. who was
advanced to Soviet Defense Min
lister today. but said he could
not interpret Soviet intentions
behind that appointment.
Marshal Zhukov succeeds as
Defense Minister Marshal Niko-
lai Bulganin, who was named
Soviet Premier yesterday when
Georgi Malenkov resigned that
post.
Volunteers Comment.
Volunteering a brief discussion
of the Malenkov- -Bulganin shift,
at the opening of his news con-
ference today, the President said
we know that any such major
change in Soviet rule expresses
dissatisfaction with what has
been going on internally.
But what the change means to
the world will take some time to
tell. he added.
It was then that the President
emphasized that it will not mean
any change in Americas basic
policy for achieving just and
lasting peace, or the methods by
which we pursue that policy in
building up free world strength.
He was asked if he believed
the tough talk" in speech
yesterday by Mr.. Molotov in
dicated that the new Soviet
leadership was embarked on a
calculated policy of being tougher
toward the United States.
Won't Speculate.
It does not necessarily mean
that, Mr.. Eisenhower replied, al
though he refused to speculate
on exactly what it might mean.
He explained that Soviet
leaders say anything they want
to without always revealing their
real intentions. The American
course, he said. is to be watchful
and alert and pursue our own
policies as we have been doing.
Reminded of Mr.. Molotovs
further statement yesterday that
an H-bomb war would not neces-
sarily mean the destruction of
civilization, the President was
asked if he saw a threat to all
civilization in the H-bomb.
He said that of course there
are some threats in the use of
nuclear weapons beyond the i'm
mediate area of destruction, re-

For Financiers

The worlds economic situation

ton, and leaders in private f.
nance can help to meet this chal-
lenge. declared Maj. Gen. George
Hamden Olmsted, chairman of
the board and president of the
International Bank of Washing
ton last night.
Speaking informally at a din
ner rendered in his honor by
John Robert Waller, founder and
former board chairman, at the

sted said that while Government
funds are aiding large foreign
projects and big business is being
courted by many countries there
is a great need for smaller bust
ness firms and transactions to fill
the gaps in foreign trade.
There is a real place for little
business, and it is a challenge
to the International Bank and
similar institutions to encourage
and foster it. he declared.
General Olmsted said he and
his associates had invested half
a million dollars in the Inter-
national Bank and expected to
invest another half a million or
more shortly. He said one of his
pet projects for the future is
the fostering of consumer credit
in other nations.
