Know land tR-Calif) predicted Saturday the Senate will defeat by a margin of several votes next week a Dem ocratic "compromise" plan to cut income taxes. The Republican leader said the chamber then would pass an ad ministration barked bill to con tinue present corporation and ex cise taxes, scheduled to drop April 1 under present law. Knowland said his party merri ments proposed by the Democrats would become law." I Sen. Saltonstall of Massachusetts the assistant Republican leader, said he didn't believe any final decision had been made known by the president , "U there has been any word about a veto, this is one Repub lican who hasn't heard of it," he said.

' "We are going to stand pat on the bill to extend present corpora tion and excise taxes," Knowland said. "There will be no Republican cnmDromise . offered." x ! Knowland said he believes Pres ident Eisenhower would veto a b"' containing the provisions of the Democratic compromise, al though he said there had been no word from the White House to this effect since the "compromise" was worked out. "I think I know what the Pres ident's views are on this situa tion," he said. "I believe the treasury would recommend a veto. I don't believe a bill which included the amend- close, Knowland said his surveys indicated it would be beaten by more than three votes. He said he believes Republicans will be on hand in full force for the test and will lose only one of their number Sen. Langer of North Dakota on the showdown. At the White House, Assistant Press Secretary Murray Snyder was asked about reports the Pres ident would veto any Democratic income tax cutting bill. He said: "The - President has adopted a consistent policy of not forecasting his action on legislation until it is before him." Bing Crosby Now Centering His Ambitions on His 4 Sons By JAMES BACON HOLLYWOOD tfi - What's the thing Bing Crosby wants most out of life these days: I put that question this week to the man who has seen himself be come a living legend, a man who is healthy, wealthy and at 50 about to start a whole new career as a serious dramatic actor.

"I guess I expect too much of the boys, think maybe they lack sense at times but I guess they're no worse or better than I was tit their age," he smiled, then added: "Kids nowadays don't seem to have any goal in life. I knew where I was going when I was 10 years old. r But it's a cinch he didn't know then how far he was going. Top Contender Bing, along with Marlon Brando, is a top contender for an Oscar this year. His portrayal of the has-been alcoholic actor in "The Country Girl" has been acclaimed a masterpiece. 1 Yet Bing came awfully close to dropping the whole thing. He didn't think he could do it. . "I was driving along in the car one day with Mona Freeman," he confides, "when I told- her 'I'm going? to tell Seaton (director George Seaton), to get Frank Sin atra. he'shot now.' Mona told me: 'If you do, I'll never speak to you again.'" Bing also disclosed that he is toying with the idea of singing before the public again in intimate clubs. With Small Combo "I'd like to tour with a small combo and do three or four turns a night. Nothing fancy, just sing. I've already talked to the Reuben Bleu people (a New York nightspot) about it. "I want to get that ad lib feeling back. You lose it after many years just singing to a cold mike." There would be no fancy Las Vegas deals. Bing was offered $50,000 a week in the Nevada re sort long before Liberace and Lan za became famous.. "The money in unimportant be cause I couldn t keep any of it anyhow. I just want to sing." And that's the understatement of the year. Bing will sing at the drop of an idle moment. He's apt to warm up those golden tonsils just walking from room to room in his big house or standing in front of his Paramount dressing room. Bing thinks Brando will win the Oscar, i ' i ' " Won Once Before I'm honored enough just i be Hearings on O&tTimber Draw Fire O Chinese Food to Take Out O Chinese Banquets and Forties O CLOSED ALL TIME TUESDAYS Beit Chinese Cook YEE SING.

Ore., attorney for the Industrial Forest ry Assn., .Saturday said his group opposed public hearings on pro posed regulations governing ac cess to O k C timber in Oregon. Speaking at the Western Forest Industry Assn. convention here, Hogan said: "Our group sees no reason that public hearings should be held on this matter. All sides in this con troversy will have a chance to file statements to the O & C advisory board." Shortly before Hogan spoke, the WFIA unanimously passed a reso lution calling on Interior Secretary McKay to hold public hearings in Oregon on the controversy. Ray C. Swanson of Noti, Ore., WFIA president, said: "Before Secretary McKay signs the proposed regulations, which would put most of us out of busi ness and create widespread un employment in Western Oregon, the lumbermen and communities affected should have a right to be heard." Swanson added that "if Secre tary McKay does not give the public this chance to be heard. Congress will be asked to protect the public's interest."

The committee said the farmers' hardships were being aggravated "by an unwise and dangerous gov ernment policy" of lowered crop props. i The report, signed by Chairman Cooley (D NO, formally present ed the committee's approval of a bill to repeal President Eisenhow er's flexible price support pro gram, approved by Congress last year. . j Party Lines Crossed The group's 23-11 vote last Tues day, which crossed party ' lines, indicated a pitched battle ahead simlar to the one which preceded! approval of the 1954 farm legisla tion. ) The new bill, among-other things would reinstate 90 per cent sup ports for wheat, rice,' cotton, corn and peanuts. Tobacco, the sixth basic crop, is supported at 90 per cent under a special law. i "The reduction of price sup ports," Cooley said, ; "is destroy ing farmer confidence in the pro gram, j "If this should bring about farm er rejections, in their referenda, of the machinery for production adjustments, then a large segment of agriculture, would be ' exposed to the possibilties of a disastrous collapse of price for farm com modites in the free; market. ) "This chance we cannot venture to take," he said.- j j Farm Prices Down The committee report said the average of farm prices is down 22 per cent since February 1951 although farm operating costs re main near their record high. ! It added:. ! "Net farm income in 1954 was 28 per cent below 1947 and 10 per cent below 1953. Further declines are in prospect for 1955 and 1956. "The parity ratio at 86 per cent in "January was the lowest since 1941. ."Farm debt is increasing. "The value of agricultural as sets has declined 18V4 billion dol lars since Jan. 1, 1952. j "Farmers' purchasing power, - in terms of 1935-39 dollars, - is the lowest since 1940." , I ' i , All this is taking place, the re port said, while other areas i of the economy are experiencing "unparalleled prosperity."

Emanuel Shinwell. 71-year-old former defense minster and a mil itant Socialist for half a century, demanded that Bevan resign from the party "as the only decent course." j . Arthur Deakin,, secretary; of the 1,500,000 - strong Transport and General Workers Union (TGWU) from j which Labor gets a large part of its financial support did not name Bevan and his followers but accused "a dissident group" of "strongarm methods" in trying to grab control of the party. Shinwell is a member of the par ty's "shadow cabinet" which has recommended that the whip be withdrawn party label removed from Bevan in the House of Com mons.! . Labor's 292 Commons members will vote on this showdown move Wednesday. If the vote goes against the 57-year-old Bevan he might f eventually be expelled en tirely from party membership.

Britons buzzed with talk about the rights or wrones oIvher pur ported romance with ai divorced commoner of 40. ' i . ' Few voices were heari disputing her right to marry any man of her choice. But the Church cf England could not officially approve her marrying a divorced man whose first wife is still alive. ! And some devout church folk were qualifying their private ap proval with such phrases as "a shame she must go against the position of the church." i Arouid the firesides , aid in shop ping queues as the I discussion grew, some Britons a .1 small mi nority of those heard, but a vocal minority were saying that . man riage between the princess an Townsend would lower the pres tige of the monarchy. "Two 'wrong', marriages in 24 years that is a lot," one English man commented. Margaret rested in the seclusion of the royal lodge at Windsor Safe urday night as talk about her and Townsend took on the proportions of a national debate. Queen. Mother Elizabeth was joining her there Saturday night, after a day at a hunt meeting at Cheltenham.

One inscription written by some one from Mexico City read: "We love you. Bing, keep up the good work." It was typical. When I remarked to Bing that I had never seen such public af fection on any other movie star home, he laughed: "There were a couple there that said 'You stink' but we washed those off." : I Called Into My Crystal Ball, (It Was A Parson to Gem Call) And Btfort My 3 Minutes Wart Up, He'd Told Me Th San Shop's the Place to Sup."
