‘Thursday, May 14, 1953 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN EISENHOWER ASKED TO PROMOTE BRITISH POLICY COOPERATION Objection Given To Truce On Dividing Korea By JACK BELL WASHINGTON, (#—Sen. Fergu- son (R-Mich)- today urged Presi- dent Eisenhower to “speak out now” in an effort to win British support for a firm policy toward the Communists in Korea and else- where in Asia. He made the suggestion an an interview at a time of increasingly bitter transatlantic gibes between lawmakers of the two long-time allies. Sen. Knowland (R-Calif) yester- day denounced as a “Munich” ap- peasément inviting World War II proposals by Prime Minister Churchill and Clement Attlee, La- bor party leader. Knowland par- ticularly objected to any truce which would leave Korea divided and lead to admission of Red China into the United Nations. Backing this up, Ferguson said the President should make a pub- lic statement “that shows our policies do not coincide with those of Churchill and Attlee.” Extension Of Excess Profits Tax Opposed By CHARLES F. BARRETT WASHINGTON \® — Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee said today they are ready to oppose solidly any Eisen- hower administration proposal to extend the excess profits tax on business. And Committee Chairman Dan- iel A. Reed (R-NY) indicated his group will be “teo busy” with other things even to hold hearings | within the next few months on a upcoming administration tax pro- gram. Secretary of the Treasury Hum- phrey has promised the adminis- tration would be ready next week to give Congress its recommenda- tions on tax reductions or in- creases, along with detailed esti- mates of prospects for balancing the budget. The administration reportedly “An early statmeent on our|has been considering asking for an stand by the President would be of | extension of the excess pofits tax Great benefit,” the Michigan sen-|to help ease an expected budget ator said. “Churchill and Attlee have been advertising to the world - where Britain is going to stand in the Korean peace negotiations—if there is a cegse-fire—and I am fearful this will discourage our al- lies in their efforts to resist com- munism. “But I still hope we can be re- united with Britain and our other allies in a firm stand against the expansion of communism and the President is the man to do it.” Although Knowland and Fergu- son led the attack on British views as Republican members of the Senate Foreign Relations Com- miitee, they were not without some Democratic support. Sen. Russell (D-Ga), top Demo- erst on the armed services com- mi.tee, said’ in a separate inter- view he believes U. N, negotiators alroady have “yielded too much” bili Communists in Korean truce tals. He alluded to the U. N. offer to teansfer to a five-nation commis- sion custody of Chinese Commu- nist prisoners who don’t want to go home, The U: N, proposal was tejected by the Communists, “T regret to see the softened Policy in Korea,” Russell said, “I “am not in favor of the Churchill and Attlee polic’ although I as- sume there was a great deal in their speeches which was designed for home consumption.” The State Department late yes- terday threw a little cold water own high feaet uald, but f stressed, that be: there must In the Senate iasenka: Sen.

GOP members of the, ways and means committee reviewed this situation privately at a recent meeting, several of them reported today, and reaffirmed a decision to line up PE gee against any extension ievy. The committee of 15 Republi- cans and 10 Democrats originates all tax bills in Congress. The ex- cess profits tax, now bringing in timated 242 billion dollars a year, expires automatically June 30. unless extended by Congress. The GOP committee members said similar strong opposition aits any proposal to raise reg- r corporation income taxes as a substitute for the excess profits tax—another idea reported under study at the Treasury, However, Sen. George (D-Ga), a veteran member of the Senate Finance Committee, said today he thinks the Treasury has decided against asking for a corporation tax hike, Other congressmen who have talked over tax prospects with Treasury . officials recently said the administration appeared to be taking soun on several pos- sibilities, So far as they know, these lawmakers added, no firm decisions have been made, Veteran Chief naay| Entered Navy In remember the Hoover Arministra- tion”, relates Theorore O.
