2 (Sec 1) Statesman, Salem, Ore., Suxw April 4. 1954 Solon to Fight Tax Reduction On Dividends WASHINGTON W Sen. Wil liams (R-Del) said Saturday he -j will join in a fight to knock out of the general tax revision bill a key section giving tax reductions to stockholders on their dividend income. The Senate Finance Committee, on which 'Williams serves, is open ing three weeks of public hearings Tuesday on the 875-page measure which represents a complete re write of the nation'i whole tax structure. William said he was not pass es nn th mprits of the dividend provision, but he contended the government could not afford now to lose the millions of dollars of revenue he said was involved. Several Democratic senators also have said they will try to knock the provision out of the bill, and the issue is shaping up as one of the biggest fights ahead on the measure. Sen. Byrd (D Va takes the same position as Williams that the budget must not be thrown further out of balance. Other Dem ocrats argue the dividend benefit would be largely for the wealthy and that what is needed now is more buying power for low income families. They contend that 80 per cent of all publicly held stock is owned by six-tenths of 1 per cent of American families. President Eisenhower and Sec retary of the Treasury Humphrey asked for the provision on the ground that it was a step in the direction of ending "double taxa tion" of corporation profits. These profits are taxed both as corpora tion income and as income to Stockholders. Humphrey contends the move would help greatly to incrtase in vestment funds for modernizing business plants and equipment. 26 Perish in Turkish Airliner Explosion ISTANBUL, Turkey A Turk ish State Airways plane exploded in the air near Adana Saturday killing 26 persons aboard.

Pouring from the northwest, southeast and south, rebel waves surged through withering French fire in an effort to pierce the final defenses of the key northwest In dochina bastion. But the French Command said the courageous but outnumbered defenders held fast. At no point could the rebels , eet within less than a mile of their target. Tanks, artillery and foot troops smashed every Vietminh effort to score a breakthrough, the French Command said. Overhead French fighter planes strafed the charging rebels, while U.S. supplied bomb ers pounded Vietminh supply lines. During the day the Vietminh stepped up their artillery barrage on key fortress positions in what might be the prelude to another mass attack. Unconfirmed reports spread that the Vietminh commander, Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap. had called for rein forcements from the Red River delta area, asking another division because of staggering losses in the J?ien Bien Phu siege. - ine Vieinunn nave ueen uawg three division with a fourth in reserve or some 40,000 men for the current assault.

''there are bodies of Vietminh dead everywhere on the plain and floating in the Noua River (south of the dust bowl plain.)" STARTS TODAY!

Officials Hold Conferences On Indochina WASHINGTON W High level conferences were held Saturday on the military situation in Indochina, which Sen. Knowland, Republican leader, described as "serious." Dispatches from Hanoi said the French were clinging grimly to tht vital core of Dien Bien Phu as Red-led Vietminh battered the fort ress from three directions. There was increasing speculation that more American support might be given to the anti-Communist fight in Southeast Asia. The talk was that this might possibly take the form of naval or Air Force aid, but there was no official con firmation. Secretary of State Dulles met for 2 hours and 10 minutes before noon with a group of congressional lead ers. Adm. Arthur W. Radford, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, briefed Dulles and the sena tors and congressmen on the Indo china war, under tight secrecy re strictions. There was no indication that any body here expects Red China to intervene in the struggle with troops, at least in the near future. Sen. Knowland said that if the Red Chinese do intervene, the Free World has several ways to strike back effectively, short of using American troops. He said the possi bilities include the bombing of Chi nese territory, a naval i blockade against that country, use of Chi nese Nationalist troops from For mosa, and united action by the free nations of Asia.
