R a d i d developments in the
legislative tax program took place
Thursday when Chairman Kudie
Wilhelm of the senate tax
mittce announced that he was de
termined an income tax bill
would be reported out of his
committee Thursday night and
on the house side camt announce
ment that the sales tax bill will
be perfected but may not be re
ported out this session.
Rep. Loran Stewart, chairman
of the house tax committee, said
that there was some sentiment
among his tax committee mem
bers to hold up sending a sales
tax bill to the floor during this
session.
Instead, it was decided to hold
I public hearing on the sales tax
bill Monday at 1 p.m. and in the
meantime attempt to take out any
"bugs" that can be found in the
laics tax bill for tax use later.

Hoover Talks
About Revision
Of U.S. Charter
WASHINGTON tfi - Former
President Herbert Hoover said
Thursday there must be a "great
change in the whole Communist
attitude" before any worthwhile
changes In the United Notions
charter can be made.
The t)9-year-old Republican told
a Senate subcommittee he has "no
notion that we can abandon any
organization. , , that makes for
peace."
The U. N. docs perform that
function, he said, even though it
"of course has not fulfilled our
hopes."
Hoover testified on possible re
visions of the 11. N. charter, 10
years old this year. The U. N.
General Assembly must consider
at its next session this fall the
question of calling a revision con-1
terence.
The subcommittee, headed bv
Sen. George iD-Gal, chairman of
the full Foreign Relations Com
mittee, heard suggestions on pos
sible charter changes last Tuesday
from former President Truman.
Friday Mrs. Franklin D. Roose
velt, widow of the wartime Pres
ident, will be heard.
The ideas presented by those
and other witnesses presumably
will be passed along to the Eisen
hower administration for consid
eration when the issue of revision
comes up in the U. N.

Sentiment
On Cease Fire
To Be Tested
WASHINGTON (A The United
Slates was reported today to have
sent a hurry-up mission to For
mosa to test Nationalist sentiment
for a cease fire line down the mid
dle of the embattled Formosa
Strait.
Another factor credited in top
congressional circles with influenc
ing the mission was a reported
step-up in Hus-sia's deliveries of
late type jet planes to Red China.
Adm. Arthur W. Radford, chair
man of the Joint Chiefs of Stnlf,
and Asst. Secretary of State Wal
ter S. Robertson left yesterday on
a 10-day trip to the Nationalist
Chinese capital, Taipei. Their
plane look off within two hours
of the announcement they uould
go.
It was understood intelligence re
ports indicate the Soviets recently
have increased shipments of jets
to the Chinese Reds. Some of these
were said to be of tho latest types
comparable to tne dcsi u.a.
planes.

Taipei buzzed with worried con
jecture Thursday over tne impend
ing visit of Adm. Arttiur w. Kaa
ford, chairman of the U.S. Joint
Chiefs of Stall, and Asst. Secre
tary of State Walter Robertson,
The reason for their visit is not
clear here. Guesses range from
an American decision to abandon
the offshore islands of Matsu and
Quemoy to a decision to defend
them.
in Wflnhlnolnn. it was rerjorted
that Radford and Robertson, who
left Wcdncsday for Formosa only
two hours after their trip was an
nounced, were being sent to test
Nationalist reaction to a cease
fire line down ttie middle of For
mosa Strait. The Nationalists and
Chinese Communists alike have
said they oppose such a ceasefire.
Radford and Robertson are ex
pected to arrive Sunday.
A high Nationalist official told
me Thursday he was not surprised
at the sudden alarm In Washington
over the Communist buildup oi

Prime Minister Sir John Kotela-

African Conference Thursday. Red
China's Premier Chou En-Lai, ob
viously disturbed, immediately de
manded time to make a reply.
Sir John, appearing before a
closed session of the political com
mittee, demanded that the confer
ence declare itself against all forms
ol colonialism, including Commu
nist domination of satellite states
in central 9nd Eastern Europe.
Delegates said that as Sir John
finished Chou leaped to his feet
and demanded that the Ccylor
premier s statement be circulari
zed to all delegates of the 29-na-tion
conference so Chou could re
ply to it at Thursday's committee
session. .. . .
in earlier debate the committee-
heard Chou express the opinion
that peaceful coexistence between
nations of different systems was
possible.
Sir John, who already had taken
the spotlight with a proposal made
outside the conference for creation
of an independent Formosa,, told
the committee there were two
forms of colonialism and the Asian
African nations should oppose both .
equally.

defense of Quemoy and Matsu and
Ihe minority (Gen. Ridgway) op

DAR Condemns
Ike's Atom Pool
WASHINGTON upi Tlie Daugh
ters of Ihe American Revolution
Thursday condemned President Ei
senhower's atoms-for-peacc plan.
The President in a United Na
tions speech Dec. 8, 1953. proposed
creation of an international atom
ic pool, with a stock of fissionable
materials, to aid in development
of peaceable uses of nuclear cner-.
gy. He urged the step to reverse
the fearlul trend of the atomic
arms race.
Since then the proposal has been
watered down to one for a clear-'
ing house for peacetime atomic
information.
The DAIt In convention here did
not mention the Elsenhower plan
as such.
But without discussion and amid
applause it unanimously adopted
a resolution urging "immediate. "
abandonment of all such plans." ,
The resolution declares a DAft
belief that the pooling of atomic
information and resources among;
nations constituting the U. N.
would have the elfect of "'invest
ing in immeasurable potentials
for the rieslniclion of Ihe United
Slates of America by its openly
avowed enemies.
