Single Probe Group Urged NEW YORK W The National Council of Churches, urging new safeguards for individual freedoms, wants a single U. S. House-Senate committee set up to Investigate subversive activities. The council, representing SO Protestant and orthodox denomina tions with 35 millions members, declared Wednesday that there have been growing threats to individual rights in this country. It recommended eight changes to prevent what it termed "pro cedural abuses" by congressional committees. And it declared the job of Investigating subversive activities could be done more soundly and efficiently by ending the present "competition among rival" com mittees, and forming a single Joint ooay. The council also decried "a growing tendency on the part of our people and their represents' tlves In government to suppose that It Is within the competence of the state to determine what is and what Is not American." "The American way," it said, "is to preserve freedom by encour aging diversity within the unity of the nation and By trusting truth to prevail over error."

Uf) The United States formally re ported to the United Nations Thursday that some 22,000 former soldiers of the North Korean and Chinese Communist armies had chosen "freedom over Communist -j..j nuu imu ueeii reicaseu from prisoner of war status. The formal report was submitted by the u. 8. mission to the U. N. acting for the United Nations om mand In Korea. The prisoners were released Jon. 23, but the San Francisco wuvuiiiciiv was ine iirst ; Seattle -uuiHicic ma ouiciai account re ceived here of the action. The report said the prisoners had freely chosen not to return to Communist control." It declared: "Their release vindicated the U. N. Command's stand lor tile bumanitarian principle that prisoners should not be forced against their will to return to their rounlries of orlntn and rcalfirmed the legal principle that prisoners of war have the right lo seek political asylum. Given real oppor tunity of free choice, these former prisoners were able lo resist the tactics of coercion and subterlune Used against them by the Communist Command at every opportunity. They chose freedom over Communist tyranny." BROWN SNOW HAILEY, Idaho 11P1 Halley hnd a lirown snow yesterday.

A I J In 7-.u R i 1. uclllUD riaii nil By CHARLES F. BARRETT WASHINGTON tfl House Re publicans apparently held a slim and shifting margin of votes to day against a Democratic drive for an additional $3,400,000 annual Income tax cut. Key Demoorats,- conceding the odds were now against them, planned a last-ditch fight for their exemptions for each taxpayer and each dependent by iuu. They are battling to tack that proposal onto a general tax re vision bill now before the House. tax laws and provide $1,397,000,000 hi revenue cuts next year inrougn many more liberal deductions for businesses and Individuals, Republican leaders stuck firmly to a prediction that the move to boost exemptions would be beaten in a showdown roll-call vote late today. President Eisenhower strongly opposes an exemption in crease, terming it a political ma neuver. , Both sides said there was no doubt the big, 87S page general revision bill would pass, although some Democrats bitterly attacked parts of it.

C W The luck of the U.S. Golf Assn. numerical draw set up some attractive pair ings for Thursday's first round oi match play in the 62nd annual North and South Women's Invita tional Golf Tournament. Medalist Joyce Zlske of Water- ford, Wis., drew Virginia Denehy, the Northwestern University coea from Lake Forest, 111, as her op ponent to start the ball rolling. Nineteen-year-old Miss Zlske, who last month won the Palm Beach. Fla., championship, won the med al with a 2-over-nar 76 in Wednes day's qualifying round. Miss Deneby had an 83, Thirty-two women in . the field of 96 qualilied for match play hi the championship flight, with the finals next Monday. Top score to make the grade was 90. Barbara Mclnttre of Toledo fin ished one stroke behind Miss lske with 77 to head the lower bracket. Democratic whip, forecast a very close decision on the exemption Increase but conceded "the odds have shifted toward the Republi cans. I'd say if there's any ad vantage at all it's more on their side." The House has 219 Republi cans, 31S Democrats and 1 inde pendent. Two Democrats on the tax-writing House Ways and Means Com mittee, who are in the thick of the fight, aald privately they expect Democrats to lose the battle over exemptions. But they said the party would press the Issue in the Senate and In congressional . elec tion campaigns this fall. In five hours of heated debate yesterday, Democrats hammered away at their theme that the OOP sponsored revision program is loaded with huge benefits for cor porations and wealthy stockholders with only scattered and light re lief for the great majority of peo ple in, lower income brackets. EXEMPTION INCREASE They Insisted the exemption In crease is vital to make the. lax program fair to all, and to help Increase consumer buying power and pull the nation out of the cur rent economlo dip. Republicans denied favoritism ic the revision program and said all taxpayers would benefit. They said the revenue loss from the proposed exemption Increase would "utterly destroy -the government's financial stability." Secretary of the Treasury Hum phrey took up verbal cudgels for the Elsenhower administration's tax program In a letter to House Speaker Martin (R-Mass). He said: . "I feel as strongly as I can that it is in the long run interests of the American people that this bill be enacted substantially In its pres ent rorm." He especially defended a part ot the revision program which would reduce taxes on dividends received by stockholders. The Democratic amendment, in addition to increas ing exemptions, would knock the dividend tax cut out of the bill. Humphrey said both major po litical parties "have for almost 20 years recognized the unfairness of double taxation of dividends."
