AP Wirephoto Approval For Tax Extension Bill Forecast WASHINGTON (AP)-Presidcnt Eisenhower's bill to extend pres ent corporation and federal excise tax rates for another year comes up for expected approval today in the Senate Finance Committee. Chairman Harry F. Byrd (D Vai said in advance of the closed door meeting he expected the committee to approve the bill, probably without any tax-cutting amendments, after hearing testi mony from top administration fis cal officials. There is strong support in the Senate for an amendment to the bill to repeal the 3 per cent excise levy on freight and the 10 per cent tax on passenger travel. But Sen. George A. Smalhers (D-FIa), a principal backer of this amendment and a committee member, said the effort to attach It to the measure might be de (erred until the bill reaches the Senate floor. Sen. Paul H. DouRlas (Dili), another committee member. planned to offer a proposal for a six-billion-dollar antirecession tax cut as an amendment to the ex tension bill at. the meeting. He proposes cuts in income, small business, various excise and other taxes as part of a package. Similar moves by Douglas have been rejected in the committee previously this year. The bill would continue the cor poration income tax rate of 52 per cent instead of permitting it to drop to 47 per cent July 1. It also would continue present rates on some of the most produc tive excises those on liquor, beer, wine, cigarettes, passenger cars, and auto parts and accessories.

AP Wirephoto Protest Filed Against Power Line Building PORTLAND (AP) The North west Public Power Assn. is pro testing an Idaho Power Co. plan lo build a seven million dollar transmission line from Brownlee Dam to Lewiston. The association said an informal protest had been filed with the Federal Power Commission, the agency which licensed Idaho Pow er to build the low dam in the Hells Canyon reach of the Snake River. The public power 'group said construction of such a transmis sion line would violate terms of the license. These terms, North west said, require that transmis sion lines be coordinated with ex isting facilities In the region. Studies made by the Idaho Pow er Co. and the Bonneville Power Administration show that a short er and more economic line to La Grande, Ore., would be the best means of connecting to the exist ing facilities. Northwest said. "The construction of duplicative and wasteful transmission lines is contrary to sound utility econom ics and utility regulation and is contrary to the public interest," said Gus Norwood, executive sec retary of Northwest Public Power. The association said that, the IPC line, as planned, would in flate Ihe cost of power. Norwood said a similar com plaint last year by the association forced Pacific Power and Light Co. to abandon a plan to build a duplicative line from Ihe Swill project on the Lewis River to Troutdale, Ore. Instead Ihe line was lied into Ihe federal system at Woodland, Wash., he said. James Madison Randolph. grandson of President Thomas Jef ferson, was Ihe first child horn in Ihe While House.
