tic notice today that he will fijrtit
any tax reductions until Japan is
defeated, - but top congressional
tax managers cuvidea no the ques
tion. ; i ,
Chairman Dotuhton (T-NC) of
me house. ways-and-means eom-
; rruttee promptly took a stand with
- the president. Senator George. (D
Ga) insisted, there should be
downward adjustment "based on
. all the factors, and not on consid
eration, of the end of the war
lone." .- ' , , ; ' ? '
i Mr. Truman told his news con
- ference he would oppose reduc
; tton in taxes before the end of the
war. There are 85,000,000 indi

protected by adequate taxation.

would allay danger of an econom

Japan ends." i

In Italy Crisis
ROME, May 15. - -r Premier
Ivanoe Bonomis. government Is
jjnrpected to resign shortly and it
was learned today that the allied
pmmissioti for Italy has been ad
Vised by Washington and London
hat any new government must
(obey the armistice terms and also
observe a truce on the monarchy.
j in pieag 10 ooserve a truce
ion the monarchy was signed by
both Bonoml governments -.- the
first time when Bonbmi succeed
ed Pietro Badoglio following the
liberation of Rome, and again
when Bonoml formed a new cab
inet after the December crisis.
I The allied decision to hold any
new government to that pledge is
almost certain to be bitterly re
ceived by leftist groups who have
held up to this time mat the
"Truce was only a means of giv
ing the monarchy time to prepare
Stself for a showdown battle."
j The allies take the position that
the situation is still warlike in
(view of the large armies here and
the necessity of safeguarding com
munication lines.
I It was also undecided whether
the allies would favor a plebiscite
or a constitutional assembly to de
termine the fate of the monarchy.
