12 The Ntwt-Review, Roseburg, Or Men., Nov. 13. 150 Boost In Taxes To Record Level Thought Likely WASHINGTON (,V Con. tress may increase taxes stain, perhaps to the highest level on record, notwithstanding the turn of political fortunes in Tuesday's elections. The tax issue on a multi-billion dollar war excess profits levy is scheduled for consideration when the present Congress recon venes Nov. 27. The idea back of it is to prevent profiteering, curb inflation and provide money for guns. In the face of vast spending in the Korean sr. and threats of other Communist aggression else where, tax policy has taken on some bi-partisan aspects. When Congress adjourned I n September, to get ready for the elections, some top Republicans as well as Democrats were call ing for a "pay-as-you-go" plan to finance the huge rearmament program. Senator Taft, the Senate Repub lican policy chairman who won reelection by a thumping vote in Ohio, was a leader in this move. With him were such Democrats as Senator Byrd of Virtinma. Thus, tax policy appears to have been taken out of the aphere of "Fair Deal" legislation, although prior to the Korean war some Re publicans hsd accused the admin istration on many occasions of seeking to use the taxation powers to socialite the nation. The attitude of top Republicans and Democrats, who survived Tuesday's election, teems to be thst rising taxea must accompany the growing costs of building ar maments against communism. But attitudes may differ sharply when they get down to writing the details of new Ux legislstion. Congress b y overwhelming votes just before rt quit in Septem ber boosted individual and corpor ation taxes by 4.700,000,000 a year, bringing the annual tax load to about S42.O00.OUO.OU0. And a n agreement for adjournment was blocked until the lawmakers wrote into the Ux bill a stipulation that the house ways and means and senate finance committeea would have a bi excess profits tax Plea sure ready when the lawmakers returned. Baptists' Litigation Under Court Advittmtnt DALLAS. Ore. (PI Whether the First Baptist church at Mon mouth owns its properly or whether . the Ore?on Baptist state convention has a voice in its use is under advisement by Circuit Judge Arlie G. Walker. The Monmouth church pulled out of the convention to join the so-called Conservative Baptists some months ago. The convention countered with the claim it had some control over the property because it had loaned the money for construction with the under standing the church must be psrt of the convention. At the time, the convention re ported the church would not be closed, but would be restored to the minority of the church mem bership who voted against joining the Conservative group. Judge Walker, after hearing the case this week, said he would give a decision later. RADIO MUM-M0USI COLUMBUS, O.

Governor Fays Barber Bill After 21 Years LEBANON, Tenn UP) Gov. Fuller Warren of Florida stopped by a barber ahop here yesterday and asked for Sam C'jplin. "Sam's no longer here," was Uie reply. The governor handed barber Obie Davenport $2.10. "Give this to Sam," he said.

Then yesterday the governor took time off from alumni activ ities at his alma mater to drop by the old barber ahop and pay the 21-year-old debt. Davenport, the present owner, took the money and aaid he will pay it on to Cop lin when he can find him. Truman's Foreign Policy Faces New G.O.P. Assault WASHINGTON Wl Repub licin gains in the congressional elections appeared today to herald a slim-bang new attack on the handling of foreign policy. The prospect raised the ques tion of whether President Truman will move to head off the expected volley of GOP criticism by trying to restore bi-partisan cooperation which lately has been withering. However, the Republican price as a prelude to any real harmony seemed almost certa.n to be the firing of Secretary of State Ache son. And Mr. Truman so far has refused to yield on that. Acheson said Wednesday he baa no inten tion of quitting. The outcome of Tuesday's vot ing, where foreign policy was one of the main issues, put the Re publicans in a position to be ex ceedingly troublesome so far as the Truman program it concerned in the 82nd congress, which con venes Jan. S. ( Two hundred eighteen House; seats are needed for i mathemat ical majority. Hence, tiie Demo-1 crats probably will have a mar-1 gin of about It seat.; instead of the present 44. I Foreign policy was a big issue in the Illinois senate campaign, j where Majority Leader Scott W. ' l.u-as was defeated by Republican Everett Dirksen, a bitter critic of : the administration in that field. Also defeated in the senate races were democrats Francis J. My-i ers of Pennsylvania, who lost to Republican Governor James H. I Duff, and Elbert D. Thomas of Utah, bested by Repuolican Wal lace F. Bennett. i Myera is assistant Democratic I leader of the Senate. Thomas is I chairman of -the senate labor com mittee and a member of the for-; eign relations committee. Like Lucas, both men supported the President on foreign policy. Defeat also came to veteran Senator Millard E. Tydinga of Maryland, who was trying for a fifth term. Tydings is chairman of the senate armed services com mittee and also headed a for eign relations subcommittee whose Democratic members labelled the McCarthy communist charges a "fraud and a hoax." McCarthy, who retored "white wash," campaigned against Tyd ings in Maryland where tha vic tory went to Republican John Marshall Butler. McCarthy is known to regard the election results, particularly in Maryland, as an expression of dissatisfaction with the inquiry by the Democratic-controlled sub committee. He ia planning new blasts at the State department and a repetition of his demands that Acheson be ousted. While administration stalwarts K1IU Estrantjed Wire, Her Sister And Self STOCKTON. Cslif.
