Sales Tax Faces
Fight in Sweden

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Nov
% (AP).-The Socialist gov
ernment of Prime Minister
Tage Erlander lost a vote of
confidence yesterday-but may
still be saved by the Commu-
nistS. The vote was on a gov
ernment bill to introduce 4 per
cent sales tax on consumer
goods.
Under Swedish law all tax
matters have to be approved
in a final round of joint vot-
ing of both houses of Parlia-
ment. This is scheduled to take
place next Tuesday. Several
speakers intimated during the
debate that the Communists
would abstain in the final
round. This would give the
government the necessary ma
jority to pass the measure.
The highly controversial bill
had been passed II to 10 earlier
yesterday by the Swedish SEN
ate, but the lower chamber re-
jected the measure, 1T to lot.
The Communists joined the
Conservatives, the Liberals and
the Agrarian Center Party in
opposing the bill in both houses.
The sales tax was requested
by the government to bridge a
1.6 billion crown 1920 million)
gap in the budget.

Proys for Rain,
Texas Gets Snow
By the Associated Press


San Franciscoans prayed for
rain today.
Their prayers were but one
facet of an unusual weather
picture in the Nation. There
was rare appearance of snow
in East Texas and Alabama.
temperatures last night of so
in Boston and 63 in Philadel-
phia, and lashing wind and rain
in the Tampa, Fla, area.
Yesterday marked the 10th
day without rain in San Fran
cisco. Roman Catholic arch
bishop John j. NIFTY instructed
pastors in 243 Northern Cali
fornia parishes to lead prayers
for rain.
James A. Pike, Episcopal
Bishop of California, asked all
his parishes to do the same.
The last measurable rain in
the San Francisco area-2.08
inches-fell September 18.
Snowf1akes filtered down on
East Texas. United States For
est Service officials said the
light fall coupled with cold
weather, helped control brush
fires which have blackened 40,-
900 acres of pasture. Long time
residents remember few in
stances of snow in that portion
of the State.
Light snow also was reported
at Huntsville, Ala.

Third Force in the Cold War

at Geneva four years ago.
turn into a propaganda cir
Gus for the Communists. To
everyone's surprise, Mr..
Khrushchev raised no loud
objections and accepted the
verdict Of the French leader
who was strongly supported
by the other continental Eu-
ropean governments. Surpris-
ingly enough, the loud
screams Of the British press
which represented De Gaulle
as a peace wrecker" also
subsided.
But the Importance of the
emergence of this third
force" is now being empha-
sized. Our friends in the Mid
die East look toward it as an
additional support against
the Red menace. Political
steadfastness and strength
have the drawing qualities Of
a magnet. The new constella-
ton which was born on what
less than a decade ago was
a mass of economic, political,
military and spiritual sham
bles is well on the way to
present an invincible front
to the Red drive for a world
empire. Insofar as we are
concerned, it should enable
us to strengthen our defense
posture in the Pacific.
