WashltiKlon, Dee. 27 dpi I'res
Ident Truman was assured today
that coiiLresslonid republicans
will back him enthusiastically If
lie proposes a cut In excise, taxes.
Hut Itcp. Joseph W. Martin Jr.,
house (il)I' leader, said the repub
licans Just ns vigorously will op
pose any a 1 1 e m p t to Increase
other taxes to r.iuku up for the
excise cuts.
Martin made his position clear
In ii statement issued through his
ofllec. He Is expected to return
to Washington later this week to
prepare for the ojienlnK of the
second session of the Hist con
Kress on January 3.
As sponsor of legislation to
rut back to pre-war levels excise
taxes on furs, cosmetics, Jewelry,
railroad tickets and telephone
bills. Martin said he could warm
ly endorse any administration
proposal In .that direction.
IkcpreHslon I'Vaml
Hut he added that he would re
fuse to go along on higher taxes
for either corporations or indivi
duals,' as reports suy 1'resident
Truman may propose. Martin
contended that a tax increase
might touch off n dcpres.Hlon.
"According to the best Informa
tion now obtainable," he said, "It
appears that Mr. Truman Is alxjut
to fly a $UK),)00.(XX) kite with a
multi-billion dollar tall on it."
"Klltvdnatlon of $WW,0X),000 In
excise taxes will be coupled with
h multi-billion dollar tax program
lo le added to the back-breaking
load the American cople now
carry so that the administration
can proceed with Its extravagant
and illiberal plan to socialize
Amerlcai .
. "Any 'Mickage' deal sent to con
gross by the White House hHS
next to no chance of enactment,"
he said. "What tile American lco
pie want Is less SH-ndlng In
Washington, not more taxes. The
excise lax repeal measure should
lie considered by Itself on lis
merits."

Disastrous Fire
Hyndman, l'a., -Dec. 27 Uli
Dacd citizens of this burned-out
mountain town planned a commu
nity meeting today to formulate
plans for care of the homeless
and rebuilding their ruined busi
ness section.
Recovery plans got off to n
slow start while crews of work
ers began pulling down blacken
ed chimney und ' fire-weakened
walls and clearing uway debris.
Durness Ernest Harden said
the meeting hud been called by
borough' council to find out what
assistance the victims would need
from the borough and oilier relief
agencies.
The business life of the com
munity was paralyzed following
the Christmas day fire which
roared through three-quarters of
the business district and left 21)
families homeless.

Life Only Bluff,
Professor's View
Sun Francisco Ui If you bluff
In poker, you'll bluff In real life
situations, two college profeessor
mnthenatlclnns report.
They are lr. Richard Bellman,
associate professor of mathema
tics at Stanford university, and
W. David Biackwel), head of the
mathematics department of How
ard university.
Their study was conducted In a
new branch of mathematics, the
theory of gurncs developed by
Dr. John von Neumann.
By looking Into the methods
men use to play such games as
stud poker, mathematicians ex
pect to come up with some new
insights on man's struggle for
existence. The games, scientists
say, are actually simple forms of
basic human struggles in the
every-day competitive world.
After making a scientific study
of two-handed poker In which
they reduced the intangible ele
ment of bluffing to mathemati
cal formulas, Bellman and Black
well said times come when out
right bluffing Is advantageous
but It la risky and it Is safer to
let pure strategy do the work and
be content with a sure gain.
A scientist has recently found
that a good trained dog will kill
75 field mice In an orchard In on
afternoon, while a cat Is playing
with the one she killed.

Count, Indicated
San Jose, Calif., Dec. 27 Uli
Formal murder charges probably
will be filed against retired cattle
baron Thomas P. Talle, 37, today
In connection with the death of
his attractive 29 -year -old wife,
Margaret.
Talle has been held by authori
ties since Mrs, Talle was found
rihot to death on the patio of their
palatial mansion between Los
(lotos, Calif., and San Jose on
Christ tmui eve.
Officers said murder charges
probably would bo filed today and
would replace a present Investi
gation complaint against the
wealthy cattle man.
Meanwhile, Talle sat silently In
tho county Jail, refusing to talk
about the death of his wife on ad
vice from his attorney. But inves-

Wash. Adv.
tlgutors speculated that a letter
Mrs. Talle left In the hands of her
attorney 10 months ago, with in
structions to open It In the event
of her death, would furnish a clue
to the slaying.
Her attorney, Elmer D. Jensen,
said he planned to open and read
the letter In the presence of Mrs.
Talle's relatives.
Talle Inherited most of his cat
the interests from his father, a
wealthy New Mexrco rancher.
Mrs. Talle was the former Mar
garet Lee Edwards, a native of
Alamosa, Colo., and a former Den
ver hotel cashier. She married
Talle In 1945 after a whirlwind
courtship.

Denver In 1947 and settled on
their El Camlno Crande estate In
the Los Catos-Saratoga foothills
where the tragedy took place.
