WASHINGTON, Dec. 31 UP)
The white house announced that
President Truman will outline his
tax program in "general terms"
in his state or the union mes

Charles G. Ross, presidential
secretary, disclosed this after
Mr. Truman went over his mes

urge repeal of at least some of
the war time excise taxes and
suggest that they be offset by
higher taxs on corporation pro
fits. He will deliver the state of the
union message to a joint session
of the Senate and House at 10:00
a.m. (PST) Wednesday.

great surprises since It was
mainly a renewal of proposals
which the president has support

House.

his economic advisors calling
generally for closer cooperation
wiiii ousiness.

These were a few of the things
born of the "forties," and many
of them must find their maturity
and their success or failures In
the "fifties."
The outlook was not all good,
but it was .better than it was 10
years ago, when that period was
ushered in to the fury of march

America was prosperous.

There was a pulsing new vigor
In the religious life of the land,
and many church leaders moved
mo:-e boldly into the stream of
events, seeking to reinforce the
morality of a nation and its
people.
Science Marches On
Science captured new ground
in the closing days of the old year.
Dr. Albert Einstein brought for
ward a new concept that promised
a possible new understanding of
the universe In the years anead.
New and closer cooperation in
tackling physical secrets was seen
In the meeting here of the Ameri

ishes the biggest scientific meet

The nation was working on
Its social problems. In Its alow,
stumbling Democratic fashion,
it was trying to wipe out its
wrongs and Injustices.
Across the seas, a sick world
was recovering from the wounds
of conflict. The Economic Co

As large as this year's record

be more than doubled during the
coming year. What looms as the
biggest of all building years will
see contracts let and work begin
on such projects as the Mercy

Temper Blamed
For Outburst

temper" for an outburst yester
day in which he cited a fellow
judge lor contempt of court.
Common I'leas Judge ri. .t.
Chambers summoned another
common pleas judge, Leslie W.
Lisle, before his bench yesterday,
scolded him severely and cited
him for contempt of court. He as
sailed Lisle for taking over one
of his cases Thursday.
"I'm citing you for contempt of
court," he stormed in open court,
"I'm going to give you live days
in jail. You got your name in the
papers. I worked all day yester
day and didn't get mentioned."
Leslie stalked angrily from the
courtroom following the tirade
and told reporters he would Ig
nore the Incident.
Later, Chambers said he was
"fighting mad" because Lisle had
taken over one of his cases during
the lunch hour yesterday.
However, he said he was "ex
tremely sorry that this thing hap
pened." "I did wrong by letting my feel
Ings get out of control, he said,
"but a judge Is human like any
body else. I am the one who has
been hurt by tnis regrettable
show of temper."

Unfair Labor Charge

returned to a five-day week.
As for the balance of the soft
coal industry, there was some
question whether it would remain
in production at all next week.
Lewis' three-day week order
ended a 52-day strike and rumors
were circulating through the soft
coal fields that the mines not un
der contract would again be shut
down on Tuesday.
The anthracite operators, em
ploying 80,000 eastern Pennsyl
vania miners, are negotiating
with the union in New York City,
and some progress was reported.
No Proposals Given
In their complaint to the
NLRB, the soft coal operators
charged that while Lewis had
been meeting with them since last
spring he had made no concrete
proposals and would not concur
in their own offer to extend the
old contract lor two years.
They challenged the legality ol
Lewis proposed new contract be
cause, they said, it contains a
union shop provision not allowed
under the Taft-Hartley act except
on terms which Lewis is unable
to meet.
The big operators also said
Lewis wants to make them sign
a contract which has provisions
for a welfare fund prohibited by
the Taft-Hartley law.

Upper Michigan
Uranium Source
Find 'Suspected'
LANSING, Mich., Dec. 31.-)
Michigan has 13 "suspected dis
coveries" of uranium ore.
This disclosure today stirred
cautious speculation whether Mi
chigan may become the first im
portant source of the raw ma
terial of atomic energy in the
United States.
At the same time prospectors
were warned to stay out till
spring.
Michigan's wild upper peninsu
la, famed lor minerals, is the
region in question.
The first of the strikes ol radio
active rock was announced yes
terday. Jones and Laughlln Ore Co.
said the Atomic Energy commis
sion had authorized further ex
ploration ol a lind in northeast
ern Baraga county, a remote
eastern portion of the storied
peninsula.
Twelve other applications for
uranium mining rights have been
submitted to the Michigan con
servation department for check
ing It was learned today.
Six of these have been found
promising enough to submit to
the Atomic energy commission
for checks by its engineers. The
other six are still being checked
by state geologists.
The state officials were close
mouthed about the 12 suspected
strikes and would only disclose
they are "somewhere in the up
per peninsula."
But geologists have said all
along that the sparsely populated
peninsula was one of the best pos
sibilities for the discovery of
pitchblende, tne parent ore oi
uranium, in the country.

"No action is contemplated at

Strong support lor Dr. Sander

scribing the doctor as a "wonder

"I cannot believe that he is in
any way to be blamed for my

However, Mrs. Borroto's three
brothers were divided in their
opinions.
"As far as I am concerned."
said Thomas Constantine of Ban

left to the will ol God."
Bernard Constantine felt Dr.
Sander's "actions were wrong. '
He added that he held "no mal

Advisor Says Truman
To Ask Tax Reduction
(Continued from Page One)
feel that the subject is too im
portant to be covered adequately
in messages mainly concerned
with other phases of government
operation.
Mr. Truman has promised to
send congress a 1951 budget
which it will have difficulty cut
ting. Some of his associates say it
will call for lar less than the
$43,500,000,000 now estimated as
the government s outlay lor the
current fiscal year.
The estimated tax yield for this
llscal year including excise lev
iesis only $38,000,000,000, leav
ing better than a $5,000,000,000
gap between income and expendi
tures. Deficit Indicated
That indicates that the govern
ment may face another multi-billion
dollar deficit next year, un
less Congress either trims spend
ing sharply or votes new taxes.
The sentiment against new
taxes is running strong on cap
itol hill, although any presidential
recommendation lor a cut in ex
cise levies would be widely ac
claimed. II the President asks lor new
taxes, he is expected to suggest
that they be applied on corpora
tions, middle and higher personal
incomes, estates and gifts.
Senate Democratic Leader
Lucas of Illinois yesterday fore
cast a boost in corporation taxes
if the excise taxes are slashed.
He told a news conference he
can't go along with those who
say the excise cut would so stimu
late business that the government
would need no additional revenue.
