Democrats mobilising to battle the measure claimed enough votes to block Its final enactment, however, unless the senate trims the site of the tax cut when the legislation reaches that body. Speaker Martin (R-Mass.) set the house vote tor next week, probably Friday. The house republican steering committee, In approving the meas ure late yesterday, refused flatly to make any concessions that might attract democratic support. A two thirds majority Is needed In both houses to overturn a presidential objection. Democratic Leader Rnyburn of Texas told reporters "the bill as It is will never become law, and I think Uie republicans know it." But Rep. Knutson tR-Mlnn.), author of the measure, shot back that Rayburn Is "Indulging in wish ful thinking" and added: "The bill will become law." The GOP leaders Ignored Presi dent Truman's substitute proposal calling for a $40 "cost of living" tax cut for everyone and a compensat ing $3,200,000,000 excess profits levy on corporation.

King said he pushed open the door and smoke puffed out In his face. Turned In Alarm He turned In the alarm and two trucks manned by Merrill volunteer firemen came up to battle the blaze. Later a third truck was brought In from Malln. The fire was already going strong in the pool hall and was spreading into the wall and roof of the hard ware (tore.

The blaze got Inside the double roof and was hard to hit with the streams of water . being pumped in by the trucks. No Injuries No one was hurt In the fire or In the two-hour fight. King said that he had no Idea how the fire started. The Merrill Billiards had been closed up at 1 a. m. and no one was inside. Specu lation was that It might have start ed from a stove.

Attorneys for the boy have waived grand Jury hearing and asked the court to place the case In the Juvenile court. Knutson measure. But with re publicans outnumbering democrats 15 to 10, the committee's formal ap proval was virtually certain. Martin told a news comerenco after the steering committee decision that the republicans will slash Mr. Truman's $39,700,000,000 budget ta make room for the lax cut and payment on the national debt of at least $2,000,000,000. "We need to cut Uie budget only by $1,500,000,000 to do that," Mar tin said, "but we are going to reduce the budget much more than that." To which Chairman Taber (R N.V.) of Uie house appropriaUon committee added in an Interview; "When we get through with Uie president's budget we will have money enough for a $5,600,000,000 tax reduction and at least a $5,000, 000,000 payment on the debt." On the other side of the capltol, however, a leading republican who asked not to be quoted by nam said tax action will be delayed In the senate "until we have a clearer picture of what the treasury sur plus will be." Knutson' bill would: 1. Raise Individual exemptions by $100, from $500 to $600. 2. Let husbandii and wives In all states split Uie lauMly Income for tax reporting purposes, thus hold ing It within lower tax brackets. 3. Grant percentage cuts, rang ing from 30 per cent In the lowest Income bracket to 10 per cent In the upper brackets.
