Hoover on the matter. men have opposed outlaw- munists on the grounds drive them underground ami make it much more difficult be named, said QT his aides proba- Eisenhower will have an oppor- tunity to do so Monday in Washing- The bill to outlaw the Communist party was passed by the Senate Thursday night by vote of 85 to 0. Sen. Humphrey (D-Minn) led the waccessful surprise move which combined the outlawing provision with another anti-Communist weap- on the administration does want. That other section of the bill, authored by Sen. Butler (R-Md), is aimed at wiping out Communist- contfolled labor unions. It pro- vides that labor or business orga- nizations determined by the sub- versives Activities Control Board (sacb) to be Communist-dominated would lose their rights under the Taft-Hartley labor law. Humphrey’s proposal would Provide maximum penalties of five years in prison and a $10,000 fine for persons who-wilfully join or re- main members of the Communist Party and commit any act to carry out party purposes. Despite Eisenhower’s reported opposition to outlawing the Reds, his aides declined to speculate on whether he would veto the com- bination bill if the House goes along with the Senate and ap- proves it. But the President was said to feel that such a meaoure would be most ineffective. He was understood to have ex- pressed the view Communists abroad would be quick to spread propaganda picturing US. Reds as martyrs and victims of persecu- tion. And he also reportedly feels the’ security of the country can best be safeguarded by avoiding steps which would force the Reds further into hiding. The President had an opportuni- ty here yesterday to talk the mat- ter. over with Brownell, who was Eisenhower’s guest — along with other members of the Cabinet — at an informal outing. -LANG COMMENDED .

If you pay some of your trans- portation expense im your work... Ié your employer provides your meals or lodging... Then you may get a tex cut un- der the big tax revisioa act re- cently passed by Congress. These are some of the scores of new or more liberal deductions you can count in your 1954 retum due next April 15. Here is a run-down on some of Instaliment purchase—the act permits you to deduct from your income, for tax purposes, any -in- terest you pay. Under the old law, you could deduct interest on in- stallment purchases only if the in- terest was stated separately in your bills. If you just paid a gen- eral carrying charge and didn’t know how much of it was interest, you got no deduction. Under the new law you may automatically deduct 6 per cent of the average unpaid balance of your bill Stated separately, of course, you deduct the exact interest. This item alone is expected to give about 1,600,000 taxpayers a tax cut to- talling about 10 million dollars. You may now deduct up to 3% per cent of income for contributions to. charity and benevolences. The old limit was 20 per cent. But the extra 10 per cent is allowable only for contributions to churches or Teligious groups, educational in- stitutions or hospitals. In other, words, if you claim the full 30 per cent, at least 10 per cent must be for contributions to those or- ganizations. This provision is ex- pected to reduce revenues by 25 million dollars a year. Transportation new rules govern your business transportation expense where (1) you are not reimbursed by your employer and (2) the expense is not incurred im overnight travel away from home. Under the old law, these expenses could be de- ducted only under personal deduc- tions, This means that to claim them, you had to itemize all your Personal deductions and forego the standard 10 per cent personal de- duction allowed most taxpayers. In many cases it wouldn’t pay you to itemize these and other ee tions because the standard 10 per cemt would give you a bigger to- tal deduction, In effect, the new law. Permits its you to deduct trans- Portation expense and, in addition, take the standard deduction of 10 per cent of your remaining in- come. Here is an exemple of how the new rules work. Say you had ex- Penses of $300 covered by the new rule, with other personal deduc- tions of $200 and an income of $6,000. Under the old law you could itemize your deductions and claim only $500, while you could get $600 under the standard 10 per cent.

The 23-year-old Andrade is} scheduled to go 10 rounds against Philadelphia’s Bolden Abrams, for- | mer butcher boy who is advancing | from the preliminary ranks to a nationally televised money shot. The bout is part of the regular Sat-| urday night TV boxing show (ABC) | and will get underway at 8 p.m. (EST). Andrade, born in Bell, Calif., of Mexican parentage, learned the boxing trade in the Army at Fort Ord, Calif. He turned professional in 1952 and won 19 consecutive bouts over a two-year period. He was held to a draw by Babe Her- man before running up his current Alston Lauds Exskine’s Game t I’ve been waiting a long time for this. They were all great but no- body was greater than ‘Carl Ers- kine. He was a real pitcher out there.” It was a long statement for Walter Alston to make. A shy, reticient person by nature, the freshman manager hasn’t said that many words at one time on any given day this season. But even a sphinx couldn’t re- main mum after Erskine’s bril- liant exhibition last night as he pitched the Dodgers to within 2% games of the Giants with a vital 3-2 victory over New York. “He’s the best damn pitcher in the league,” enthused catcher Roy Campanella. “He and that Harvey Haddix of the Cardinals. They’re the best two for my money. No- body could have beaten Carl to- night. He was simply great.

WASHINGTON (®—Moving with the Senate benefits and the payroll taxes that pay for them. Sen. Knowland of California, the| ment by Rastvorov that he fled| Republican leader, said in an in- | terview he expects a Senate-House conference committee to compro- mise quickly various differences so the bill can be sent to President Eisenhower, who has placed the legislation high on his “must” list. Though the House and Senate | versions of the social security bill differ in places, they also: agree in most important respects. As passed, benefits would be boosted an average of $6 a month for 612 million persons now on the social security rolls. The annual amount of wages subject to social security taxes would rise from $3,000 to $4,200. This tax is at the rate of 2 per cent on both em- ployers and workers. Maximum monthly payments for retired individuals would rise from $85 to $108.50. For a couple, the maximum would climb from $127.50 to $172.75. The two houses parted company on restriction of supplemental earnings by retired folks. The House voted to allow social | security beneficiaries to make up to $1,000 a year, compared with the present $75-a-month limit, with- out being penalized. The Senate put the top at $1,200 a year and agreed to include in these earn- ings only what is received unter employment covered by the sovial security laws. The House Bill would count earnings from any source. The Senate also voted to lower from 75 to 72 the age at which all restrictions are lifted from outside earnings by beneficiaries. Eisenhower had urged extension of coverage — now applying to 62 million persons — to another 10 million. © TWO KEY WEST (Continuea From Page One) cane road,” was a builder of brid- ges and tunnels.

Zarubin, sent word neither he nor any of his aides could make it to the State Depart- ment to pick up the formal noti- fication that Rastvorov was, as the Russians have been saying for seven months, in American hands. Last week Zarubin had been at the State Department inquiring in- to. Rastvorov’s whereabouts. The department promised some news shortly, then asked him in yester- day 1% hours before the Rastvo- Tov news conference. But Zarubin, not officially told Rastvorov would be the subject of his call, apparently got wind of it and stayed away. Department spokesmen said this was an “un- precedented” breach of protocol but they did not consider it a rebuff. Rastvorov’s disappearance last Jan. 24 was to counter-espionage agents of the West, the biggest break since code clerk Igor Gou- zenko fled the Soviet embassy at Ottawa in 1945 with an armload of secret documents. Rastvorov told his news confer- ence yesterday he brought out no documents.

He said Couture and Feeney were in front, with Feeney driving, and that he was squeezed in back with Schworm and Halliday. Guards Overpowered The convicts, four of whom es- caped from the prison colony in a mass break May 25, overpowered guards Thursday night and grabbed De Adder as he sat in his car outside the prison and fled in the guard’s auto. A Pawtucket mill watchman gave authorities their first break in the intensive manhunt when he spotted the men moving behind his building. Police and FBI agents, their guns drawn, closed in. Lavoie was found cowering in the grass. He surrendered without resistance. The other four convicts had stolen the car about a block from the swamp. Using Cherniavski ag a shield, they hurtled west on Route 44 at speeds up to 80 miles an_ hour. Just across the Rhode Island- Connecticut line, the aute raced through a road block. Connecticut State Trooper William Douglas leaped into a cruiser and gave chase. A short distance from the road block, both cars tried to make a sharp turn at high speed. They careened off the road and skidded to stops. Feeney and Couture leaped from their stalled auto and dashed int nearby woods. Douglas, pistol drawn, covered. Schworm and Halliday and they. gave up without a fight. Holding’ them at gunpoint, Douglas spread a radio alarm. Reinforcements hustled into the area.
