Cut In Excise Taxes
During 1950 Probable
(Continued From Page One)
tax increases.
Bad Precedent Feared
George said and Doughton
agreed In a separate Interview
that If congress lifts the lid on
excises now there might be no
stopping repeal of most of such
levies.
The Finance Committee al
ready has cleared a proposal by
Senator Johnson (D.-Colo.) to
knock out a long list of these
taxes at a revenue loss running
up to $725,000,000. Administration
leaders are sitting on this move,
despite its support by Senator
McGrath of Rhode Island, the
Democratic national chairman.
George said the tax on freight,
which adds to the retail cost of
about everything, "should be one
of the first to come off."
He found himself unable to
agree with the President's pro
posal that estate and gift taxes
be raised, but said that something
is almost certain to be done about
softening business loss carry
backs and carryovers next year.
These permit averaging out a
firm's taxable Income over good
years and bad.
Doughton made it clear that It
will take time for Congress to
level the excise tax barriers. He
said if consumers are holding
their buying for a tax cut, they
will have, to "wait quite awhile'
before they get one.

Advice Of Economist

War Production Board.
The Nathan report was far
more than an argument for
higher wages.
It Included a "positive pro
gram" for the government to use
in combatting unemployment and
preserving a healthy economy.
President Truman's report also
advocated a positive program in
stead of "letting nature take 1U
course" (they both used that ex
pression). Nathan's "positive program"
for the government included, be
sides public works and tax cuts,
these things:
Prompt repeal of the Taft
Hartley Act, greater unemploy
ment benefits, greater social se
curity benefits, a higher mini,
mum wage, vast housing and
slum clearance, stimulation of
private Investment abroad, stimu
lation of investment through go
ernment loans and Incentives,
and a revised farm program pro
viding for incornesupports rather
than price supports.

56 Perish In Crashes Of
Two Large Airliners
(Continued From Page One)
out among passengers on the
New York-to-Long Beach, Calif.,
unscheduled flight. There were
48 persons aboard.
The Air Traffic Control Bur
eau at Burbank received a radio
message from the pilot, Roy
White, 25 minutes before the re
port of the crash, saying that a
violent fight had broken out
aboard the ship.
"Two of the passengers started
fighting over Riverside," said the
message. "I want police at the
airport at Burbank and I want
one of the men arrested. One man
is badly beaten."
The pilot requested permission
to set down at Burbank. The
plane was scheduled to land at
Long Beach.
It was only a short time later
that the sheriff received a call
that a big airliner had crashed
one mile north of the Chatsworth
reservoir. Reports said the craft
burst into flames immediately. A
call then was received in North
Hollywood for three ambulances.
Stanley Weiss, president of
Standard Airlines, flew over the
wrecked plane in a cabin mono
plane and said the pilot's cabin
appeared to be burned out "but
the rest of the plane doesn't look
so bad."
The injured passengers were
taken to Birmingham veterans'
hospital in Van Nuys.
Plane Nearly Consumed
An unidentified boy spotted
the crash and ran a mile to the
Box Canyon Ranger Station to
report it.
Standard Airlines said the
twin-engine Curtis-Wright ship,
number NC-978, belonged to
Trans-National Airlines, which
Standard represents locally.
"There is only one wing and
the tail left," a sheriff's aero
squadron plane flying over the
wreckage reported. "The rest of
the plane was entirely burned."
A rescue crew was aispatcnea
by the Los Angeles Red Cross to
augment early arrivals at the
crash scene who had Deen iignt
ing a forest fire in the region
yesterday.
The Los Angeles county fire
department sent two companies
to aid in rescue work and prevent
the flames from starting new
fires in the surrounding brush
and scrub oak country.
Yesterday a French military
plane plunged into the sea junt
off French Morocco. Eighteen
persons were killed.
A U. S. C.-54 Airlift transport
crashed last night in the Russian
zone near Berlin. Air searcheis
could see no sign of life near tha
wreckage and the three crewmen
were believed dead.
A Coast Guard seaplane
cracked up in the Pacific about
480 miles northwest of San Fran
cisco last night, on a rescue mis
sion, but all 11 persons aboard
were saved. The plane was trying
to remove an ailing passenger
from a steamer.

forth the reasons lor the new
restrictions.
An indication of what he ex
planation might be was given in
the official Soviet Army news
paper Taegliche Rundschau.

from the Soviet-Licensed news

Standard Oil Enjoined
From Sales Refusal
LOS ANGELES, July 12 -OP)
Standard Oil Co. is restrained by
court order from refusing to sell
gasoline to a serve-yourself firm.
Eagle Oil Co., operator of 600
filling stations, several of the
self-service type, in Los Angeles
County, requested the restraining
order granted yesterday.
Eagle's suit alleged that Standard
conspired to prevent it from ob
taining petroleum products in
violation of anti trust laws.
The complaint alleged further
that Standard requires as a con
dition of sale that retailers must
not sell at prices lower than In
Standard -owned or controlled
stations. The suit also charged
that Standard and other major
oil firms named as co-conspirators
hut not as defendants
deprived independent stations of
gasoline to maintain a price

Disposal Service relative to a
franchise. He was directed to
work out a tentative agreement

bage at the dump grounds, thus
eliminating burning. But the
company wants some form of
guarantee in the way of a fran
chise before investing the amount

Use Of Hall At Issue
Whether or not the Carpenters
and Joiners local can construct
proposed union hall, under
terms of the city ordinance, de
pends on the use to which the
union intends to put the build
ing. City Attorney Paul Geddes
said the ordinance specifies that
buildings for fraternities, lodges
and other gathering places of
this nature may be permitted in
class 2 residential districts. But
under the ordinance such build
ings cannot be used for business
purposes. The union has already
purchased a lot at the Cobb
Street location, but petitions
bearing 25 names of property
owners in the vicinity were re
cently submitted to the Council
protesting erection of the build
ing. Councilman Frank Ashley, who
is president of the Central Labor
Council, said the union would use
the building only as a meeting
place, and that it would not be
used as a hiring hall, dance hall,
or place of business. ,
