Snyder Sees
Tax Cut Veto
WASHINGTON. Jan. 16 net
Secretary of Uw Treasury Snyder
today virtually promised Uie republican-controlled
congress that
President Truman will veto any at
tempt to reduce Income taxes with
out boosting other federal revenue.
He laid what looked like an ad
ministration ultimatum before the
house waya and means committee,
whose OOP majority Is bent In pass
ing a tax -cutting measure quickly.
It went like this:
The revenue loss tesulUng from
any tax adjustment should be off
set by upward revision In other
as. There must be no reduction
In aggregate revenue."
Snyder said Uie president's own
plan of a 640 Income tax cut for
each taxpayer and dependent,
matched by s new 6320000.000 bite
of corporation profits which ex
ceeded a prewar average, would fill
the bill.
But he declared a measure by
Chairman Knutaon tR-alum.) of
Uie ways and means committee, to
cut Income taxes without malting
up the loss elsewhere, would wipe
out part ol this year's budget sur
plus and create a $2,000100.000
deficit in the l4 fiscal period

Polio Claims
Tule Youth
A 19-year-old ex-para trooper died
at 6:10 p. m. last night from in
fantile paralysis. The youth, Ray
mond Franklin Benight Jr., of Tula
lake, succumbed at Uie county iso
lation hospital three hours after he
wa admitted for care and placed In
the Iron lung.
Young Benight, graduate of Tuls
Iske high school with Uie class of
1946, wa the first polio death of
Uie year. Ironically, Uie young man
died on the opening day ot the
March of Dimes program, a cam
paign for funds tor Uie prevention
and research of poliomyelitis.
Dr. S. M. Kerron, Klamath county
health officer, said Benight was ad
mitted at 3:10 p. a. yesterday and
placed immediately In Uie iron lung.
Nurse from Uie clinic went to work
and Uie youth appeared to respond
and breathe easier In the lung. In
Uie meantime, a call went out to
Portland for nurses who are skilled
in the care of polio cases but Dr.
Kerron said that clinic nurses have
had iron - lung training and the
Portland call was made due to the
dearth of nurses In this area and
not because of their lack of know
ledge on handling the lung.
At the time Benight was admitted
he was suffering from an advanced
paralysis of Uie respiratory system
and wa partially paralysed in the
shoulders and arms. Despite the
lung, Uie youth failed to rally. He
