FT. MONMOUTH, N.J. f - The
Army Signal Corps Wednesday an
nounced development of a long dis
tance "peeing torn" camera
which can peer across battle lines
up to 30 miles into enemy terri
tory. '. . ;
The mammouth new-camera is
built about a 100-inch telephoto lens
which was developed in the Signal
Corps engineering laboratories
here. It permits battle field pictures
to be taken when aerial photo
flights are not possible due to
weather , or enemy action.
Using the long F: 12.5 infrared
lens, the Signal Corps says the
camera can record images up to
30 miles away, depending on
weather conditions and the belzht
from from which the picture is
taken. .
Pictures already have been takea
at distances up to 25 miles.
so penetrating is the camera s
eye, that it can pick out details of
a jeep or other targets ' six miles
away. ;
It can be used in close support
of military missions, such as watch-,

WASHINGTON W - The House
Wednesday defeated an adrninis
tration effort to pass a one-package
bill raising both postal rates
and postal workers' pay and set
the stage to force separate, action
on the two proposals. .
The double-barreled " measure,
which would have given -postal
workers a 5 per cent increase and
raised .postage rates 233 million
dollars a year, was supported by
the majority, 228-171. However, un
der the prevailing parliamentary
situation, it needed approval of
two-thirds of those voting, or 266.
The administration had insisted
on a boost in postage rates to off
set the added costs of pay increas
es.':. The principal increase would
be on first class letters, from 3
cents to 4 cents. '
There were 169 Democrats and

104TB YEAR
Tax Law,
Overhaul
WASHINGTON UB A House-
Senate conference committee
agreed late Wednesday on a com
promise bill overhauling almost
all tax laws. It would reduce rev
enues an estimated $1,363,000,000
next year. - 4 '
Settling one much-debated Issue,
the committee agreed to permit
taxpayers to deduct from their tax
bill 4 per cent of their income from
corporation dividends. "
In addition, the first $50 of divi
dends would, be . excluded from
taxes. ;
Authorities said this compromise
between House , and Senate ver
sions would, cut taxes on dividends
about 204 million dollars the first
year and 363 million dollars a year
later, when it reaches full t effect.
. The House had approved a much
more liberal cut amounting to 240
million dollars' the first year and
eventually to 860 million dollars a
year.1 The Senate had voted 71-13
to knock out all dividend tax re
lief except-about . 46 million dol
lars provided through the $50 ex
clusion.
Dividend Tax Relief. .
Republicans had advanced the
the, idea of dividend tax relief with
the main argument that it would
encourage investments which
would result in job-creating busi
ness expansion. Democratic critics
said it , was : tax - relief for the
wealthy
The big bu. running almost 1,-
000 pages, does not change major
tax rates. but provides scores of
tax. reductions through new or big
ger deductions for medical ex
penses, depreciation of new plants
and equipment, child-care expens
es of working parents, soil conserv
ation expenses, income of retired
persons, 4- dependents ;who make
more than 600 a year, and other
items.
'Coroerstone of Program - ' t
President Elsenhower has
termed the bill. the cornerstone of
his domestic program. He said it
would spur business investment and
economic growth and provide more
and better jobs, and remove scores
of. unfair provisions for business
individuals. -
The cnnrornis bill, settling S53
differences between the House and
Senate version!,- still must be ap
proved by both the House and Sen
ate. ' .;. '"-X-r .
In view - of the substantial tax
reduction on , stockholders' . divi
dends and the heavy Senate vote
against substantial relief in this
field the compromise faced a pos
sibly stiff fight in the Senate.
Less OppMitiea
In the House, where it faced less
opposition, leaders' said the com
promise probably would be called
up next week.
In other-last-stage action, .the
conference' committee agreed to
knock out of the big revision pro
gram a House-approved section cut
ting taxes on income earned by
corporations from foreign opera
tions. - -
This section would have reduced
taxes on foreign income by about
147 million dollars a year. The Sen
ate balked at this cut and the con
ference " committee accepted the
senate version.
exemption Left la , v
In another major decision, ! the
conference 'committee knocked out
of the . bill a senate amendment
which would have killed the tax
exemption granted to charitable or
educational foundations, if they
made any grants to suspected sub
versives. -, . -.."
.The trading among the conferees
on various sections of the bill pro
duced little change in total rev
enue effect.
' As passed by the House, the re
ductions would have amounted to
$1,370,000,000 the first year. The
Senate ' cut this to $1,316,000,000
knocking out most of the dividend
tax cut and the foreign Income tax
cut, but adding reductions for
child-care expenses of working pa
rents, and other items. :
The CIO union and the AFL
Lumber and Sawmill Workers are

wage increase. Major employers

Highlights among the other com
ment: ; ' .
West Germany Chancellor

ment "welcomes an end to the
shedding of blood. And German
officials privately hoped the
French can now reach a quick de
decision on the European army
treaty, which would bring German
forces into the Western defense

Another Milestone

New Advance
By JOHN SCALI
WASHINGTON OP - President .
Eisenhower pledged Wednesday
the United States "will not use
force" to upset the Indochina ar
mistice but warned the Commu
nists that any new aggression
would be "a matter of grave con
cern.". " . ...-
At a news conference, he de
clared the partition settlement
signed in Geneva "contains fea
tures which we do not like.
Because of this, he said, the Uni
ted States would refuse to join
other nations in a joint declara
tion guaranteeing truce provisions.
In rapid-fire order, the President
also made these points: -
1. The United States has asked
the Indochina states of Cambodia
and Laos to exchange ambassa
dors with this country in a move
to build up their independence
from communism.
2. The big lesson . which free
world nations can learn from the
Indochina experience is to adopt
a positive plan for banding togeth
er so tightly , that none will ever
giye up to communism. .
N Challenge Likely '
. 3. He believes' the Communist
world does not want war at this
time, except through satellite ex
cursions. The Reds -would not de
liberately challenge the fret world
to a war of exhaustion.
4. He knows of no one who ad
vocates . mat the United - States
should go to war to- unify Korea
or Indochina even though these set
tlement! are far from Satisfactory:
- In talking with reporters, the
President said the- government
would soon - issue some sort of
paper giving a history of the Indo
china developments which would
attempt to put ail events in focus.
He disclosed this when asked s
whether he could say whether the
United States . ever actually pro;
posed to send American bombers
into the Indochina battle in a move
in Northwest Indochina.
Reads Statement
The President opened his. week
ly meeting with reporters by read
ing a prepared statement which
said he was glad the Geneva truce
has stopped the bloodshed in In
dochina. '
"The ' agreement contains fea
tures which we do not like," he
said, "but a great deal depends
on how they work in practice."
The President stressed thaUtoe
United "States' haar not been in
volved in final peace negotiations
nor is it "bound by the decisions"
adopted to .halt the hostilities. -
But, he added, "as loyal mem
bers, of the United Nations," the
American government soon! will is
sue a statement at Geneva saying
the United .States "will not use
force R disturb the settlement."
"We also say," he added, "that
any renewal of Communist aggres
sion would be viewed by us as a
matter of grave concern."
