'Bad Accident' Only Appears So Motorists driving past the Des chutes junction on U.S. highway 97 yesterday afternoon possibly decided that a serious accident had occurred. A car had sideswiped into rocks near the junction. Sacks of grain were scattered on the ground. There was evidence of the rapid application of brakes. But it was largely appearance. A car operated by Barbara Rich er!, Portland, was headed north as a Deschutes Cooperative truck signalled for a turn toward Des chutes. Miss Ridiert applied her brakes and her car turned com pletely around and grazed road side rocks. The truck swerved sharply as a result of the rapid approach of the Portland car and several sacks of wheat fell to the ground. No one was Injured. In the car driven by Miss Rich- ert were her parents, Mr. and Mi's. J. C. Richert, and her broth er and sister. Tax Cut Fight Is Shaping Up WASHINGTON (UP) A bruising fight over tax cuts started shaping up today as one of the biggest po litical scraps looming for the 1956 election year.' With Hie administration already optimistic about a balanced budget for the current fiscal yenr, there is a widespread belief in Congress that President Eisenhower will submit a balanced budget and a tax cut proposal to Congress in January. Even If he does not propose a tax cut then, his budget for the 1957 fiscal year Is expected to show enough black Ink to make election year pressure for an in come tax cutting bill almost irre sistable. Threw Possible tiroups The evidence now suggests that Congress will divide rougtity into three groups In Its approach to tax reduction: 1. A predominantly Democratic bloc seeking tax relief for the low tncome tax brackets, perhaps along the line of the $20-for-evcry- hodv tax cut approved by the House this year. 2. A predominantly Republican group, probably with administra tion support, favoring an across the-board tax cut which would mean greater dollar saving but not larger percentage savings for the upper brackets. 3. The last - ditch budget-balnnc ers, like Sen. Harry F. Byrd (D Val, who want to be 100 per cent sure that any tax reduction will not throw the budget Into the red again.

Britain Joins U.S. in Bid To End Strife lly IHIN Al l) J, (iUNZAI.KS t'nited l'rti,ii Staff CorrcNponnVnt WASHINGTON (UP) Britain joined the United Slates today in a dramatic offer lo enforce peace on the strife-torn Arab-Israel bor der by guaranteeing each side against attack by the other. The bold proposal, designed to head off a full-scale Middle East war that intelligence reports hid warned was in the making, was advanced by Secretary of Stat" John Foster Dulles last nijjht, with the personal endorsement of Presi dent Eisenhower. It won prompt support from Britain, and generally favorable comment from United Nations of ficials and key members of Con gress. But there was no Immediate response from Israel or the Arab slates, whose acceptance would be necessary to put the plan into operation. The urgency of the siiuation that prompted Dulles' proposal was underscored, however, by 'reports of a new clash between Arab and Isrueli forces along the blood- soaked Gaza frontier. Dulles, In a speech before the council on foreign relations In New York, outlined a three-point u.b. offer to (1) help work out perma nent boundaries between Israel nd the Arab states; (21 pledge U.S. military force lo "prevent or thwart any effort by cither side to alter by force the agreed Dor- and (3) put up a "substan tial" loan to help resettle Arab refugees trom Israel. Ho Invited other countries to loin In the guarantees, under U.N. sponsorship. Britain took up the Invitation after. cQUuuediluJ. .lhe...U n 1 1 e J Slates for "constructive nnd useful Initiative" in trying to halt Middla East bloodshed. The Foreign Office In London said in a prepared statement: 'Her Majesty's government agree with Uie united amies gov ernment hi thinking that it should be possible to reach a settlement if these immlems by inreet or indirect negotiations williout detri ment to the vital Interests oi either side." Announcement of the U. .s. pence offer n1 neen scneauieu for public release next month, authorities said, but the urgency of the U. S. intelligence reports from the Middle Knst caused a top level decision to move the time-tnhlc ahead to stall off fight ing, If possible. New 1nhe iteporn-u F.ven as Dulles spoke in York, new clashes between j and Israeli forces were rcportcu along the Gaza frontier where Ugypllnns said lliey Kiuen u lews who hnd crosseii me iru-e line. The Israelis cnareen Hn Egyptian force hud sneaked Into Israel. Diplomats agreed Dulles' tim ing was perfect and U. N. Sec retary Cencral Dag Hnmmnr sckjuld voiced hope that the plan -mild be Ihe "begi-nilre' of a gen eral stabilization of conditions" In the troubled Middle East. Dulles said the United States would be willing to join in f.-rmiil treaty negotiation!! to "prevent or thwart any effort by either aid J to niter by force the boundaries between Israel nnd its Arab neighbors."
