Tax Slash
Still Target
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 W)
Republican tax catting plan reach
ed the decision stage today.
Speaker Martin (R-Maas.) called
the house GOP steerinr committee
to an afternoon (2 EST) session to
shape party policy on the red hot
domestic Issue.
There was every advance indica
tion the committee would:
1. Ignore the urging of Ber
nard M. Baruch to put off tax
cutting for two years.
2. Reject flatly President Tru-
1 man's reouest for a 140 "coat nf
living" tax cut for everyone with
an offsetting revival of the war
time excess profit levy on cor
porations. 3. Throw It weight instead be
hind a trimmed down version of
Uie Knutson blU.
Chairman Knutson (R-Mlnn.i of
the tax-writing way and mean
committee told newsmen he would
carry into the meeting a demand
that his $5,600,000,000 bill be adopt
ed a the GOP tax slashing goal
for 1948.
See Cut Coming
But high republicans who would
not allow use of their names pre
dicted the Knutaon plan would be
trimmed down possibly to on over
all cut of $4.000.000.000 with chief
emphasis on lower rate for tax
payers in the low bracket.
There wa general agreement
among GOP leaden that present
exemptions should be boo ted from
$600 to $600 and that the principle
of community property taxation
allowing husband and wive
I split . the family Income lor . tax
Tpurpose to be applied nhiformlr
inrougnout the nation.
But there was some objection to
Knutson' proposal for percentage
cuts ranging from 30 per cent at
the bottom to 10 j for those with
high-bracket incomes. The best
guess was that these percentages
would be ' trimmed all along the
scale.
Republican spokesmen have
adopted the view that tipping of
the personal exemption along with
the community tax plan will ap
peal to the largest number of tax
payers and voter and will soften
obJecUons to some reduction for
high bracket Individuals.

Henderson, 27-year-old Portland
negro, mutt die In the prison gu

Governor John H. Hall announced

Governor Hall aald "the law must

Interoted In racial ra.atlons. They
aaked the sentence be commuted,
charging that If Henderson had been
a white man, he would have been
sentenced to life.
Henderson wa convicted of
murdering Walter Poole, Van port
white man, on Christmas Eve, 1946.
The motive was theft of Poole
car. Henderson never confessed,
asserting he wo too drunk to re
member what happened.
Governor Hall said In a lengthy
statement:
"There Is no evidence or claim
that the defendant did not receive
a fair trial. There la no IndtcaUon
that racial prejudice had any part
in the case."
He said the power to commute
should "be exercised only for th
purpose of prevenUng a miscarriage
of JuiUoe, each as a showing that
the accused did not have fair
t .1 or every opportunity to present
a defense, the presentation of newly
discovered evidence since complet
ing the trial, or other extenuating
circumstances."
Governor Hall said he received 103
letters asking for clemency, but that
most of them ore based on the fact
that the writers are opposed to
capital punishment.
He (aid mat II they feel so keen
ly about It, they should initiate a

tire record of the case, read every
letter, and held a lengthy hearing
on the matter, and could find noth

verdict.
Henderson has been spending his
time In prison doing oil painting.

The last commutaUons of death
sentences were granted by former
Governor Juliu Meier on July 3,
1934, to Theodore Jordan, a negro,
and Harry Riley.
Jordan had been sentenced to

Kuter Blocked
For CAB Job
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 V
Harllee Branch resigned today from
the civil aeronautics board shortly
after the senate armed service com
mittee again blocked the nomina
tion of MaJ. Gen. Laurence 8.
Kuter to head that agency.
Branch, whose resignation Is ef
fective May 1, said he is "quite tired
and feels the need of a complete
rest." His departure creates a third
vacancy on the five-man board.
President Truman recenUy re
fused to reappoint James M. Landls,
CAB chairman, when his term ex
pired at the end of 1947.
A vacancy created by the resigna
tion some months ago of Clarence
M. Young, republican member ot
the board, never has been filled.
Young quit to become manager of
the city of Los Angeles airports.
Branch also attributed his resig
nation to the "high cost of living
hi Washington" which he said nec
essitated improving his "personal
situation."
The senate armed services com
mittee in refusing to approve the
nomination of Kuter to head the
CAP overrode a personal plea from
Mr. Truman to allow Kuter to take
the post and retain his rank and
pay as an air force general.
