Cat In Federal Exeise Taxes Seems Certain Local Girl Is On TV Next Wednesday Is Deadline For Ike To Sign Measure By JOE HALL WASHINGTON (®—A_ cut of about a billion dollars yearly on @ wide range of federal excise or gales taxes seemed assured today with Senate passage of a $1,034,- 000,000 reduction bill. The cuts will take effect next Thursday. _The Senate approved the bill last night 76-8 after two days of lively debate filled with political over- tones in a congressional election year, It was sent to a Senate-House conference, which cannot take Place before next Monday efter- noon, since both branches are in Tecess until then. But Sen. Millikin (R-Colo), head of the Senate negotiators, said in an interview today he is confident hehe conferees will act speedily and | tush the measure to President | Eisenhower. The deadline for the President’s signature is next Wednesday midnight. Some Identical Cuts Both branches voted identical euts on many items, so they are certain to be in the final compro- mise version. “ They include furs, jewelry, hand- bags and luggage, cosmetics, sport- {| Michigan Republican state chair- Ferguson.”” SOUTHERN FINANCE COMPANY Is Pleased To Announce the Appointment of ing goods, admission tickets to| movies costing over 60 cents, train- bus-plane passenger fares, tele-| phone bills, telegraph charges, ! mechanical pens and _ pencils, lighters and electric light buibs. Millikin and other Republican leaders predicted the President will sign the bill, although the administration urged against the excise cuts. The billion-dollar loss in revenue will add that much to the $2,900,- 000,000 deficit already forecast for the new financial year starting July 1. The bill also extends for a year, to April 4, 1955, a series of 1951 increases in major excises. These will bring in $1,077,000,000 in added revenue. But the President had counted on this in figuring his next year’s budget. Involved are auto- mobiles and trucks, gasoline, to- bacco, liquor and beer. Senate Changes As the House passed the mea- sure, it cut a variety of excises by 912 million dollars. The Senate eliminated a few House reductions, but made other big ones of its own. The House voted reductions for admissions to horse, dog tracks; to night clubs and other caba- rets, and for club dues, safety deposit boxes and pistols. The Sen- ate rejected these. They will have to be threshed out in conference. The two biggest items in dispute will be a 100-million-dollar slash voted by the Senate on such house- hold appliances as refrigerators, stoves and electric irons and a 65- million-dollar cut through wiping | out of the admissions tax on movie | Pe ‘ tickets and others costing less than} “"*~~ - oo as SS Pa ; 60 cents.

Heavy Cuts Deplored Senators Byrd (D-Va) and Wil-| liams (R-Del) won a surprising amount of support in the Senate last night for a move to knock out all of the cuts in the bill except the 217 million on admissions. They charged it was irresponsi- | ble to cut taxes heavily in the| present perilous world situation | and with the budget unbalanced | this year and next. Byrd argued that a highly secret | Armed Services Committee brief- ing yesterday on the nation’s de- fenses indicated the country may be facing heavier spending for its | protection in a hydrogen-bomb, | jet-plane age. The Byrd-Williams amendment lost 54-36.

They got some Republican support, notably from Sen. Cape- hart (R-Ind). However, most of the Democrat- ic argument in the final debate was centered on an attempt to pin | down the administration position | on the cuts. Majority Leader Knowland (R-| Calif) said he was sure the Presi- | dent would sign the bill and that to this extent he favored it. Sen. Saltorstall (R-Mass) said it was his understanding from White | House meetings that the adminis- | tration fought the cuts “just as hard as they could.” Officer Held For Misuse Of Funds TOKYO #—The Far East Air Forces today said Maj.
