Knowland Expects Treasury To Urqe Veto of Tax Reduction Bill Br W. A. RYSER Written For United Prwi London (U.PJ The sudden reshuffle of the Soviet govern ment Monday night has brought new faces into the heavy indus try program and apparently shoved ex-Premier Georgi M Malenkov farther out of the picture. Soviet experts assumed Mal enkov still was deputy premier since his dismissal was not an nounced. But his failure to gain mention in the shakeup order made it clear the fallen premier was being passed over for pro motion. Premier Nikolai A. Bulganin now becomes head of a group of five deputy premiers: Vyache- slav M. Molotov, Lazar M. Ka- ganovich, Anastas I. Mikoyan, Maxim Z. Saburov and Mikhail G. Pervukhin. These six men who now head the government constitute a Presidium of the Council of Ministers. They also are mem- mers of the Communist Party's Presidium, a body consisting of nine men. Now Deputies Appointed The government Presidium as appointed does not include the remaining three members of the Communist Party Presidium Supreme Soviet President Klient Voroshilov, First Secre tary Nikita Khrushchev, and Malenkov. In addition to this extension of the group of first deputy pre miers, four new deputy pre miers were appointed; A. B. Za vinghin, M. V. Krunichev, Pa val P. Lobanov and V. A. Ku charenkov. They are industrial or agricultural experts. Soviet experts here said it was not clear whether Malenkov, Alexei N. Kosygin and V. A. Malyshev have retained their positions as deputy premiers. Moscow, though not announcing their dismissal, ignored them completely. The newly-appointed deputy premiers are assumed to be sup porters of the ruling Molotov Bulganin group. They are main ly heavy industry experts. The promotion of Lobanov, who is an agricultural expert, is believed to be significant. It may mean that Khruschev will cease being the sole overlord of all Soviet agricultural matters. The Presidium of the govern ment thus seems to fall into three distinct groups: 1. Bulganin and Molotov as the two top political bosses. 2. A group of four first deputy premiers who are all highly trained veteran specialists and overlords of groups of minis tries: Kaganovich (transport and general supervision of heavy in dustry); Mikoyan (trade); Pervu khin (electricity . and - other energy recourses); and Saburov (chairman of the economic plan). 3. A group of eight junior deputy premiers in charge of special technical ministries or groups of ministries. . Experts said the latest re organization reflects the newly announced modification of the Soviet economic program and foreign policy and especially emphasis on heavy industry that has been the theme of Soviet propaganda for several months. Washington OI.R) Senate Republican Leader William F. Knowland said today he believes the Treasury Department will urge President Eisenhower to ve to the pending tax bill if it in cludes the Democratic proposed $20 tax cut for everybody. Knowland made the statement after the weekly White House conference of Republican legis lative leaders with President Eisenhower. He refused to say whether Mr. Eisenhower had in dicated to the leaders whether he might veto the measure. At the same time, Leon Key serling, chairman of former Legislative Agent Retained by Truckers Claude A. Davis, Coos Bay, a former Medford resident and a past president of the Oregon Log and Lumber Truckers league, (formerly the Southern Oregon Truckers leagued, is rep resenting the league at the ses sion of the state legislature in Salem, it was announced today. The league was organized in Medford in 1947 by a group of truckers and mill men. Other current league activi ties include promotion of a safe ty program, under the direction of Gene H. Foresee, Medford trucker. The league is conduct ing a study on safe transporta tion of lumber and logs, from both a practical and legal stand point. All truckers are being urged to check their vehicles and v equipment before start of the 1955 hauling season, according to Foresee. Nautilus Test Dive Results Kept Secret Groton, Conn.

President Truman's Council of Economic Advisers, testified that the proposed $20 per person in come tax reduction, is exactly what is needed to help reduce unemployment and improve bus iness. He told the Senate Finance committee that unless the gov ernment takes some such action, unemployment probably will be come worse. He said it was "pre posterous" to contend, as Presi dent Eisenhower, has, that the tax cut would touch off serious inflation. The House by a vote of 210 to 205 last week tacked the $20 tax cut proposal onto an admin istration bill to continue for one year the present corporation and excise taxes which are due to drop April 1. The Senate Finance commit tee, which planned to vote on the proposal after hearing Key- Seven Lepers Flee Marine Hospital In Louisiana Carville, La. (U.R) U.S. Pub lic Health authorities today sought seven lepers who escaped from the U.S. Marine Hospital here just 24 hours before they were to be returned to their na tive Virgin Islands. Dr. E. M. Gordon, medical of ficer in charge of the leprosa rium, warned that four of them "should be isolated" but the em phasized that leprosy is only "feebly communicable.." He said the disease is almost im possible for any healthy adult to contract. He said four of the patients were "active" cases and the others were "arrested" cases. Further Treatment Due Gordon said the active cases "should be isolated." They were to receive further treatment in the Virgin Islands. We have done all we can for them," Gordon said. "They can get the same treatment at their homes." Gordon said he could not dis close whether the patients had been disfigured by leprosy, known medically as Hansen's Disease. Hospital authorities said all seven could speak English and may have hitch-hiked a ride aft er leaving the hospital, appar ently through a hole in the hospital fence. serling today, was expected to recommend against the tax cut. Key Democrats on the commit tee, including Chairman Harry F. Byrd (D-Va.), have joined Re publicans in opposing the cut. Knowland told reporters he is "very hopeful" the Senate will reject the tax cut, which would be effective next Jan. 1. He said he also believed the Senate would be effective next Jan. 1. He said he also believed the Senate would reject any com promise plan, such as some Dem ocrats are trying to work out, to postpone all or part of the tax relief until later. Knowland said he based his belief the Treasury would rec ommend a veto on the strength of the arguments- made by Sec retary George M. Humphrey against the proposed tax reduc tion. Humphrey told the Senate Finance committee yesterday that a Jan. 1 tax cut would hurt "little folks" more than it would help them, by causing in flation. Keyserling sharply challeng ed this argument. "The most recent economic trends make it clear that great deflationary dangers loom ahead while the danger of inflation . . . is negligible," Keyserling said. As We Live There are many happy mar riages in which the wife is five or more years older than the husband. The question, how ever, is one of maturity rather than of years. (Q) "There is a girl I am very niuch in love with. I am only 18 years old and a senior in high school, while she is 23 and works as a secretary. Some of my friends say she is loo old for me and people would talk about our ages. Others say that age makes no difference if people love each other. My teacher, for ex ample, says he knows a fam ily where the wife is 10 years older than the husband and it is a very successful mar riage. Should I keep on trying tc get her as a girlfriend and to go steady, or should I stop seeing her because of the dif ference in our ages? Her friends tell me she likes me also. What should I do?" (A) By all means keep on see ing her if both of you enjoy being together. But for the pres ent,; don't en tertain any serious thoughts about going steady or e ventually marrying her. While the difference in your ages may Dr. Hurlock not be great, the difference in the degree of maturity you and she have at tained doubtless is. After all, you are still a school boy, while she is working and able to sup port herself. As a result of her experience in the business world, she has the outlook on life of a mature woman. You, on the other hand, By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. have the outlook of a schoolboy, even if you have had some ex perience in the business world in after-school jobs. Until you are settled in busi ness and know what you can do snd want to do, you are in no position to think seriously about marriage. This young . woman, on the other hand, has reached the age when many girls are ready to marry. If you try to monopolize her time, you will cut her off from opportunities to meet men who are ready for marriage. This would not be fair to her. You should not interpret it to mean that she does not like you, if she refuses to go steady with you. (COPYRIGHT 1955, GENERAL FEATURES CORP.)
