Knowland Predicts Defeat of
Demo 'Compromise' Tax Gut
WASHINGTON (Jh Sen. 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. ' '
Although Chairman Byrd (D
Va) of the Finance Committee has
-J I .1 4 SI T
bers would refuse to compromise .tnlcu c .lc .ult "",u"
with the Democrats who have pro-'
posed a 903 million dollar yearly
Income tax reduction for lower in
Come families.
' "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.
"The thing I want more than
anything else," he reflected, "is to

Bing, who is both father and
mother to his four boys, admits
that . he is not tolerant enough of
the shortcomings of modern youth.
"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 ' "

VANCOUVER, B. C. m Harry
J. Hogan Jr. of The Dalles. 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."

Farm Income 1
WASHINGTON UF The House
Agriculture Committee, reporting i
a sharp drop in farmers income!
in the last four years, predicted
Saturday that unless Congress re
stores major price supports at 90
per cent of parity a greater "blow
to the farm economy is yet ahead."
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."

Bevan to Quit
LONDON Ur- An elder states
man of the Labor Party and a
powerful union boss Saturday night
demanded a crackdown on left-
winger Aneurin Bevan.
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.
The issue has created a crisis
for the party at a time when many
believe the Conservative ; govern
ment is preparing to call a general
election. ,
Deakin .accused, "those of the
left" of pressuring Laborite com
mons members to line up against
the moderate party policies pro
nounced by former Prime Minister
Clement Attlee.

' Few voices were heari disputing

And some devout church folk
were qualifying their private ap
