Thm Oigon Statesman. SaW Oregon. Saturday. July 12. 1947 PrteT 122SLS The republican1 congress seems to have outfoxed President Tru man on the politics of. the tax re duction bill. It I making him "double-shoot" Santa Cl.us, and that is a sad predicament for one to be in who w'ithin a few months must submit to a popular election to reUin his office. The president vetoed HB 1. saying it reduced taxes the wrong way at the wrong time. Congress is retaliating by postponing the time, though re taining the method: and this cut half the ground out from under the president. This time Mr. Truman didn't wait till the bill was on his dlr before announcing his intention. It geU the axe. he says. He ma feel that the change in date is not sufficient to make the bill palat able. Or it may be a measure of stubborne don't Vet the blaci republicans put over a tax cut and then harvest votes on the strength of it Whatever his reason hr seems certain to lose, politically speaking. The fact is however that the new tax measure is not strictly a party matter. Republicans feemed disposed to let the taxr business lie dormant after Trunjan's veto of the Knuton bill. But demo cratic members of congress prod ded republicans into action. The"' felt a tax cut was due, that it was possible along with a reduc tion of the debt, and that with to tax cut in sight the spenders were making: hay on appropria tion bills, with this sign of tup port the old bill was pulled out of the pigeon-hole, given a new number and new effective date and put on the calendars for prompt passing. Certainly 1948 is late enough to give relief to taxpayers. As a mat ter of fact a revision of the tax laws is needed and. larger reduc tions should be provided by 1948, unless the requirements of the Marshall - plan throw - budgets skew. The new bill should be re garded as only a partial fulfill ment of promise, with larger in stallments put on schedule as the country returns to a peacetime bam.

Animal Crachers 7-12. mljtl rrte take you away from aUtfmT Material Said Back In Files WASHINGTON, July ll.-UPY- An informed official in congress said tonight that the atomic doc uments and files taken from the Los Alamos, N. M., atomic energy plant were actually negatives of photographs of parts of the atom ic bomb. This official, who refused use of his name, added that federal bureau of investigation agents still are checking the two army sergeants, who took tne negatives, to learn if any prints were made of the negatives. An atomic energy commission official said tonight that all miss ing material had been recovered. The congressional contact said that he had been told that the jus tice department has not prosecu ted the sergeants because it then would be necessary to bring into court the actual atomic bomb neg atives for possible public display. This information appeared to differ in some detail from a public statement by Senator Hickenloo per (R-Iowa), chairman of the special congressional atomic com mittee, on the floor of the senate Wednesday regarding the Los Al amos incident Hickenlooper told the senate that "certain missing atomic en ergy files", and "documents were taken by the two sergaents but that FBI reports indicated they had not been displayed "to any one." 4 Teen-Agers Make Flying Disc, Fool FBI TWIN FALLS,.

The senate roll call on passage of the bill will clarify the prospect.

Inquiries about the kind of motive power ued brought the response that the information secret and that national security was involved. The answer appeared recently in print buried far down in a re port by Dr. Fritz Zwicky. Mt. Wilson astronomer. The secret is a so-called hollow charge of pen olite. Penolite ia . a toned-down form of one of the most powerful and posibly the wildest chemi cal explosive ever adopted for military use. The r-ecrecy cloaking the peno lite charge was lifted recently, permitting Dr. Zwlrkjr to give de tails of his rocket experiments at White Sands, N. M, last Decem ber.
