the sort of victory they sought.
However, at a joint press con-
ference, the Senators declared they
would make an unlimited effort.
They continued:
"And it is quite possible, if the
American people act and speak up,
x that Senators in both parties
who believe the filibuster delays
weaken or block vital legislation
can put together the majority vote
which x is all that is needed
to break the veto power of the
filibuster."
Senators ouglas and Ives
claimed as firmly "in sight" only
81 votes for a change in the rule.
They spoke of good hopes Of get
ting a substantial additional num-
ber."
Their estimate of the outlook
was considerably more gloomy than
that offered in private by other
civil rights sponsors. The latter,
although holding a change in the
rule to be next to impossible, felt
that substantial rights bill could
be put through if President Eisen-
howevr placed his prestige behinc
the endeavor.

Senator Ives said he was will

Mr.. Douglas disagreed that the

Best Girl"
Marriage Stuns
Sammy Davis

New York, Jan. 2 - Entertain
er Sammy Davis Jr., and his ideas
to marry beautiful Chicago model
Cordie King shattered into broken
dreams last week as she married
wealthy and prominent Indiana
merchant.
News of the secret marriage of
his best girl" stunned the famed
entertainer who said: "The way /
feel right now, ! don't want to
look at another woman"
Sammy had repeatedly said that
he would marry the Chicago beauty
at the conclusion of the Broadway
run of his current smash stage
hit, "Mr. Wonderful"
However, the glamorous Cordie
surprised Davis and most of her
friends when she married wealthy
Marion Stewart of Indianapolis,
Ind, Dec. 10 in Wheaton, Ill. The
couple plans to live in Indianapolis
where Stewart operates transfer
and storage business as we'll as
several gas stations.
Davis told newsmen: T found
out about it only two days ago.
That was the first indication l
had of it. However, wish them
good luck and good fortune"
Asked if he could explain Cor
dies action, Sammy declared: ave
had our differences, our argyll
ments, like everyone else. She
wanted to get married Immediate
ly | wanted an engagement; it
gives you a while to wait. /
believe in a long chance to know
one another.
Its too late to find out things
after you're married. When l get
married l want to stay married"
Cordie King, who divorced Mel
vim Brown at the beginning of the
year, hit the national spotlight
when her name was linked ro-
mantically with Davis and their
engagement was announced.
Miss King admitted that she
didn't give Sammy any advance
warning of her plans to marry Ste
wart. She also admitted that she
didn't notify him of the marriage
until after she was wed.
Friends of Miss King say there
were several reasons for the
change of mind toward Davis.
Among the motives offered by
friends are that she learned more
of the frenzied and hectic life
which Sammy is alleged to lead.
Reports also point out that fl
nances have played something Of
a part in the circumstances sur
rounding the matter. One source
estimates that Davis owes more
than 100000 to friends and as
sociates from whom he has Dor
rowed.
Some of his friends report that
Sammy is seemingly unable to
gauge his living expenses to the
income of the Broadway "Mr.
Wonderful" show.

fact, the "integration is impos-

Kansas Governor vefoes
Proposed Sales Tax Hike

TOPEKA, Kan.-Kansas is still re-
sounding from the way Democratic
Governor George Docking recently
vetoed a bill passed by the Republi-
can-controlled legislature to hike the
states sales tax from 2 to 212 per
cent.
Denouncing the sales tax boost for
placing "'the tax burden upon the
citizens of Kansas least able to pay"
Docking declared: 81 am pledged to
represent the interests of the people
of Kansas rather than the interest
of the privileged few" he also blasted
the way the legislature 'packaged"
the sales tax increase together with
a grant of funds to schools. "This
political chicanery in its
worst and lowest FORM" the new gov
ernor said.
By a narrow margin the state
House then failed to override Dock
ing's veto, with nearly all the Repub-
lean members voting to override and
Ill the Democrats voting to uphold
he veto.-LABOR.

HUqe Fast Tux-writeoH
For IPCo. Draws Protest

Clyde T. Ellis, general manager of
the National Rural Electric Coop
erative Association, last Friday wrote
members of Congress denouncing the
Office of Defense Mobilization's ap-
prevail of accelerated tax write-offs
for the Idaho Power Company's two
''runt dams" on the Snake River as
"an unjustified outrage" that should
assure congressional approval of the
federal Hells Canyon legislation"
pending before Congress.
Ellis declared that ODM's approval
of accelerated tax amortization certi-
ficates for Idaho Powers two pro-
posed small dams rewarded the COM
pany, Maine corporation, "a $30.5-
million interest-free loan," which
projected over the 50-year normal
life of the dams will result in ''an
ultimate subsidy to Idaho Power to-
falling 1929. 3-million" This is near
ly triple the total cost of the two
projects, estimated at $1O3-million.
GAS you know Ellis continued,
"the Office of Defense Mobilization
yesterday granted Idaho Power Co., a

certificate on Brownlee
and Oxbow Dams on the Snake River

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)--
Lobbying propaganda or institutional
advertising? That's the question In
ternal Revenue Service men are seek
ing to answer.
Senator Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.)
charged last week that millions of
dollars spent on advertising by so
electric companies was being deducted
from the firms income taxes. IRIS
rules are mot to allow deductions
of expenditures where the facts of
the case indicate that they were in
Cured primarily for lobbying pur-
poses, for the promotion or defeat
of legislation, for political purposes,
for the development or exploitation
of propaganda relating to any
of the foregoing purposes, or for the
furtherance of matters in the area
of political controversy"
In a letter from Russell C. Har-
rington, Internal Revenue Commits
sioner, Kefauver was told that eff
it is determined that the principal
purpose of the Independent utility
companies who paid for the costs OF
advertisements was lobbying or at
tempting by propaganda or otherwise
to promote or defeat legislation, the
amounts Of such payments would not
be allowed deductions"
Kefauver, in his Senate speech, &C.
cused the power companies of under
taking campaign of 'false and mis-
leading advertising" after a survey
made for the National Association of
Electric Companies showed that IVA
was very popular, but socialism was
not. Therefore, he said, the cold
blooded decision was made to link
IVA with socialism, and the electric
companies advertising program was
aunched. The ads are signed Gamer

Safeguards Sought
In Depressed Areas
LEGISLATION Bills
WASHINGTON. d. C.-HDN

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-UDNS)-
The AFL-CIO has urged Congress
to make certain that any depressed
area legislation includes adequate
safeguards to prevent wholesale mi
grafton of industry.
Arthur G. Mcdowell, chairman of
the AFL-CIO's industrial migration
subcommittee, said it would be ere
pugnant'' to have the prosperity of
one community reduced "by diverting
part of its enterprise" to even a less
fortunate community.
Testifying before Senate Banking
subcommittee, he said that depressed
areas would be apt to attempt to lure
industries away from their existing
locations, using special grants from
the federal government to accomplish
this purpose.
Noting that the bill introduced by
Sen. Paul Douglas (D-Ill.), contains a
reasonably effective safeguard. Nc
Dowell who is also director of civic
and governmental affairs for the Up
holsterers, said that "any weakening.
let alone elimination, of this provi-
sion," would mean that the only eff
feet of the legislation would be to
transfer the areas of depression from
one community to another.

company to deduct from United
States income any tax it pays abroad
"ARAMCO, which is the inter
national subsidiary company of
Standard Oil of New Jersey, splits
its profits $3.50 with the Arabian
rulers-like King Saud, who was here
recently. These are actually royalties,
but that isn't what ARAMCO and
other American firms call them
they call most of them income taxes
and they deduct them from the
U. S. income tax.
Here's the amazing story of the
oil monopolies
"Out of 1924 millions worth of oil
products in 1955-ARAMCO turned
over 1912 million in profits to King
Saud-and kept $272 million for
itself.
"a regular firm, incorporated in
Delaware as is this oil company,
would pay So per cent taxes on this
profit-or-about Sal million. What
about ARAMCO-it didn't pay one
cent!
NOT TAXES BUT ROYALTIES
"The 27.5 per cent depletion cred
(which | spoke of earlier-came
to 1921 million and then it took $193
million tax credit for foreign income
taxes which, in reality, were not
taxes but royalties to King Saud. If
you add these two sums together, you
will see that ARAMCO should really
get tax refund from the U. S. gov
