House Leaders Agree on No Immediate General Tax Cut
Balanced Budget
Should Be First,
Most Men Feel
Washington U.R) Demo
cratic and Republican leaders in
the House agreed today there
should be no immediate tax cut
when Congress returns next
month.
Republican Leader Joseph W.
Martin Jr. (Mass.) said the ad
ministration won't know until
April whether the budget out
look will be such that it can
recommend a tax cut for the fis
cal year beginning July 1.
"I think it's quite doubtful we
can have any substantial tax
cut," Martin told newsmen. "If
there is a tax cut, it would have
to be a modest one.
As for the Democrats, Speak
er Sam Rayburn (Tex.) made
clear Tuesday that he is "oppos
ed "at present" to general tax
reduction. "As of now," he
would favor granting tax relief
to low-income groups in the
next session of Congress only if
other taxes could be hiked si
multaneously to offset the reve
nue ress.
Wants President To Lead
. This indicated that Rayburn
wants to let President Eisen
hower Hake the lead in deciding
whether there should be a tax
cut in 1956 a presidential elec
tion year.
Senate Democratic Leader
OLyndon fi) Johnson (Tex.) al
O ready has called for tax relief
for "small income" groups."
Martin told newsmen the ad
ministration would announce its
Two GOP Leaders Sound Note of Warning and Optimism
About Relationship of Party With Organized Labor
.u tax recommendations no later
than April 15. In the meantime,
Martin and Rayburn agreed that
Congress probably will extend
the 52 per cent tax on corporate
income1 scheduled to drop to 47
per cent on April 1.
Rayburn's stand produced im
mediate opposition from Sen.
Walter . F. George (D.-Ga.).
George reiterated his belief that
income taxescan be cut $3,000,
000,00 or more in the fiscal
year starting July 1.
No Support From Byrd
O But George got no support
from Chairman Harry F. Byrd
(D.-Va.) of. the Senate Finance
committee. Byrd,, who favors
scaling down the national debt
before taxes are cut, predicted
the administration will have to
choose next year between bal
ancing the budget or cutting
taxes.
"They will gain greater po
litical advanjage" for the elec
tion campaign, by choosing a
balanced budget, he said.
A Republican leader, Sen
Styles Bridges (N.H.) agreed. He
aid4hat "it would be to the po
litical advantage of the Repub
licans to go before the public
with a balanced budget rather
than a tax cut sinac we already
have cut taxes by $7,000,000,-
000."
Washington (U.P.) Two Re
publican leaders have sounded
notes of warning and optimism
about their party's relationship
with organized labor.
Secretary of Labor James P.
Mitchell, in an interview with
Newsweek magazine, scoffed at
fears of some Republicans that
the merged AFL-CIO is a threat
to the GOP. And Republican
Gov. Goodwin J. Knight of Cal
ifornia warned his party in a
press conference yesterday that
an all out war with leaders of or
ganized labor could cost it the
1956 presidential election.
Some Republicans have at
tacked the AFL-CIO merger on
grounds it will make organized
labor too powerful. Among them
is Sen. Barry M. Goldwater of
Arizona, who told Newsweek he
had proof union funds used for
politics came from compulsory
dues.
Kefauver To Announce
Other political developments:
1. Sen. Estes Kefauver (D
Tenn.) scheduled a press confer
ence Friday to discuss "what his
political intentions may be." He
is expected to announce his can
didacy for the Democratic presi
dential nomination.
In a speech at San Diegt last
night," Kefauver continued his
attacks on the Eisenhower ad
ministration's foreign policy. He
said it reminded him of the pock

Soviet Chieftains
Delayed by Weather
Kabul, Afghanistan (U.R)
Bad flying weather today forced
the Soviet Union's touring chief
tains to postpone their tour of
this mountainous kingdom that
bars the Soviet path to Pakistan.

nounced the plane carrying So
viet Premier Nikolai Bulganin

the Soviet leaders had landed at
Stalinabad, in the Tadzhik Re
public, and would fly later to
Kabul. Stalinabad is about 300
miles due north of Kabul.

New Delhi for what had been
expected to be a four-hour trip
to the natiop that served notice
in advance it would stand by its
policy of neutrality between
East and West.
. Before leaving New Delhi,
Bulganin made one more blast
against "rotten colonialism" and
repeated earlier statements by
Khrushchev that the Portuguese
possession of Goa and disputed
Kashmir belonged to India.
Kashmir also is claimed - by
Pakistan.
Neuberger Raps
Stand on Gl Bill
Portland (U.R) Sen. Rich
ard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) said
today the administration's "aban
"abandonment of the GI bill of
rights makes a mockery of the
recent White House conference
on education."
Neuberger told the Willam
ette Democratic Society that the
program had raised the average
educational level of 15,000,000
young men and women in the
armed forces from through the
second year of high school to
past the freshman year in college.-
He predicted Sen. Wayne
Morse (D-Ore.) would win re
election next year "because
Morse has been talking issues
this fall, while the Republican
leadership has thought up noth
ing except plans about organiza
tion and how to raise campaign
funds."

Pension Ordered
For Portland Cop
Portland '(U.R) The city of
Portland must pay a disability
pension to Portland police offi
cer Arnold W. Blalock, the Ore
gon Supreme court ruled today.
The high court, in an opinion
by Justice William C. Perry,
said a Portland police officer
suffering disability by reason
of a heart condition is entitled
to receive a disability pension
as provided in the city charter
as amended.
When Blalock was appointed
to the police force; his physical
examination disclosed a systolic
heart murmur, but it was such
as would not interfere with his
duties and he was certified as
physically fit.
Five years later he applied
for disability retirement when
it appeared that his hear condi
tion had progressed to such an
extent that he was disabled
from carrying on his duties.
The pension was first granted
but subsequently the board of
trustees rescinded its order on
the theory that Blalock's heart
condition was not connected
with his duties as a policeman.

Tax Bureau Charged
With Dictation Try
Washington (U.R.) The Klam
ath Medical Service Bureau of
Klamath Falls has accused the
Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue of trying to dictate the fees
charged by physicians and sur
geons. The charge was contained in
a petition released today and
filed before the federal tax
court in Washington. It seeks to
throw out a federal claim of
$160,177 against the Oregon hos
pital organization.
The internal revenue bureau
had disallowed a deduction of
$211,851 claimed by the medi
cal service bureau. The income
tax authorities said amounts
claimed by the medical group
were "in excess of reasonable
compensation" for services per
formed by the Oregon doctors.
The Klamath Falls group said
the medical fees charged were
not excessive but were only
about two thirds of the amount
doctors in private practice would
have charged.

politically" when working men
view the Eisenhower adminis

their word when they say they
plan no 'political pressure bloc'
