Ike Gives GOP Program For 10 Per Cent Tax Cut
Washington—(U.P.) President Eisenhower today gave Republican Congressional leaders a five-point program which calls for letting a 10 per cent cut in individual income taxes go into effect on schedule Jan. 1.
He would extend the corporate excess profits tax six months to Jan. 1.
Mr. Eisenhower's program also calls for postponing cuts, now scheduled for next April 1, in excise taxes and regular corporate income taxes. He would postpone the increase of one-half of one per cent now scheduled for next Jan. 1 in the social security payroll tax on employers and employees.
The President laid out his tax proposals at a White House conference with Republican Congressional leaders. They were told that the automatic tax cuts scheduled under existing law would leave a federal deficit of $5,600,000,000 for the 1954 fiscal year starting July 1.
Of Mr. Eisenhower's five proposals, only one, extension of the excess profits tax would tend to reduce the deficit in the 1954 fiscal year. Extension of the regular corporate income taxes and the excise levies would not materially affect the budget until fiscal 1955.
Mr. Eisenhower will discuss taxes, the budget, and national security in a nation-wide radio speech over all major networks at 9:30 p.m. CST.
Chairman Eugene D. Millikin (R-Colo.) of the Senate Finance committee, said he believes that as a result of the White House conference, "taxes will be reduced and that the budget will reach a state of balance next year."
Another participant said the administration's budget estimates indicated a deficit, under existing law, of about $6 billion during the 1954 fiscal year beginning July 1. Secretary of Treasury Paul Volcker Hireover year said government spending and income should reach a balance by July 1, 1954.
But the plans ran into immediate opposition from one of the congressional conference—chairman Daniel A. Reed (R.-NY) of the House Ways and Means committee which has original jurisdiction $\sigma \varrho$ er tax legislation.
Mr. Reed also wants to give corporations and individuals tax relief at the same time. But he would do it by letting the excess profits tax expire on schedule and move the effective date of the scheduled individual income tax cut up six months to July 1.
Mr. Reed told newsmen after the White House parley he still is opposed to any extension of the excess profits tax and is determined to press for congressional approval of his bill to cut income taxes July 1 instead of Jan. 1.
He conceded that if GOP leaders are determined to extend the excess
profits tax, they can do it without going through his committee.
But he served notice that if his committee is by-passed on the excess profits tax extension, he may hold up other administration bills before his committee such as the proposed extension of the Reciprocal Trade law which expires June 12.
ASC Names 11 To Committees
The All Student Council committee on committees today announced committee appointments.
Students named are to serve on committees connected with University administration, instead of matters directly within the ASC's jurisdiction.
Dennis Henderson, college junior and chairman of the committee, said they will try to complete appointments at a meeting this afternoon.
Named to the Memorial Union operating board were Jim Baird, journalism junior; David Miller, college freshman; Nancy Canary, education junior; Peggy Hughes, college sophomore; Norman Capps, college sophomore; Helen Boring, college junior.
John Simons, college junior, is to be the student representative to the athletic board.
The University Senate committee on convocations and lectures will include one new student representative, Tom Stewart, journalism junior.
Patricia Aylward, college junior, and William Patterson, college senior, are to participate in the activities of the chancellor's committee on Freshman week.
Board of Regents To Approve Budget
In other business, the board will approve faculty promotions, appointments, and salaries, and consider a name for the new University fieldhouse.
The University budget for 1954 will be approved by the state board of regents at its annual meeting Wednesday and Thursday.
Dr. Forrest C. Allen's name has been suggested for the fieldhouse. The board agreed to give the suggestion consideration after a series of articles in the Daily Kansan.
Most Persons Take Red Charge As Joke
Dean J. Allen Reese of the School of Pharmacy today said that most persons who yesterday learned he had been named as a member of a Communist-front organization were taking it as "a big joke."
In yesterday's Daily Kansan, Dean Reese explained how an allegedly red group, the Committee for Medical Freedom, had "used" his name. In the May issue of the American Mercury the CMF was labelled Communist, and Dean Reece was named as one of its "sponsors."
He and his colleagues are giving the charge little notice, he said. Instead of responding with a libel suit against the Mercury or the article's author, J. B. Matthews, Dean Reese's course of action is to be an attitude of amusement.
Honor Recital Wednesday
The spring honor recital of the School of Fine Arts will be presented at 8 p.m. tomorrow in Strong auditorium.

Peiping Radio Charges UN Is Blocking Truce
Tokyo—(U.P.)—Peiping radio said today the United Nations command must answer satisfactorily four questions when truce negotiations resume next Monday if a solution to the prisoner problem is
A large, modern reading room with open book stacks will replace the present reserve room of Watson library when students return to school next fall.
Library Builds Reading Room
Remodeling will begin at the close of this semester, Robert Vosper, library director, said. The room will be enlarged 50 per cent after the wall behind the main desk is taken out and the L-shaped room extended to the back of the building.
Eventually there will be room for 20,000 books and 300 readers, Mr. Vosper said. The open stacks will be scattered among tables, breaking the area into small units. "We are not competing with the Union browsing room," Mr. Vosper said. "Light reading is featured there, whereas the new books we've ordered include collateral reading with courses."
"We're hoping that when under-graduates are able to make their own selections, they will be tempted to read more books," he said.
Decorating colors have not been chosen yet, but they will be "light and attractive." New furniture which has been ordered is of blond wood. The chairs have leather seats and backs in variations of yellow, green, and tan. Besides oblong study tables, round tables and occasional chairs upholstered in leather will be in the room.
During the summer session when remodeling becomes too noisy, reserve books will probably be moved to the Green room.
"The new reserve room is the answer to articles which have appeared in the Daily Kansan, particularly last winter, stressing the need for such a room." Mr. Vosper said. "This room will be the most attractive and comfortable one in the building.
Dr. Murphy Named To State Commission
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy has been named to a one-year term on the Advisory Commission on Institutional Management by Gov. Edward F. Arn.
The commission was increased from a five to an eight member group by the 1953 Legislature. Other new members include Dr. Karl Menninger, of the Menninger foundation, Topeka, and Dr. R. C. Anderson, staff member at Winter General hospital in Topeka.

The broadcast charged again that the UN command is blocking a truce with unacceptable demands which destroy the basis for negotiations.
It said "Panmunjun has never been so near an armistice as when Harrison (Lt. Gen, William K. Harrison) under orders from Tokyo and Washington hurled the talks backward with a counter-proposal."
The questions are:
Then it listed four questions which it said will show "whether Washington will continue to flout the world demand for a speedy solution to the POW question."
"I. Will the American delegates insist on overthrowing the basis of negotiations by demanding the "release to civilian status" of the Korean and Chinese POWS in South Korea by handing them over to their enemies Syngman Rhee or Chang Kai-shek?
"2. Will they insist on hamstring- ing the neutral nations repatriation commission by placing it under American control and domination?
"3. Will they really give the necessary time and freedom and facilities for explanations to be made to the POWs of their right to repatriation and to return home to lead a peaceful life?
"4. Will they continue to delay indefinitely the signing of an armistice agreement by refusing to submit the post-armistice question of the final disposition of POWs to the post-armistice political conference of a higher level?"
Fulbright Offers Latin Scholarships
The Fulbright division of the Institute of International, Education has announced the opening of grants available to American students for study in 15 Latin American countries under terms set up by the Buenos Aires convention.
Two grants each will be available in Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Costa Rica, Colombia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, and Peru.
The United States government pays for the student's transportation, and the foreign government pays tuition and partial maintenance. Applicants for these awards must expect to contribute to their living expenses from private funds.
Applications for the awards may be obtained in the Fulbright office, 304 Fraser.
International Club Elects
The International club elected officers for next year at a recent meeting. Those elected were Cyrus Samii, graduate student, president; Rameschawdra Premji, engineering junior, vice president; Olga Zilborg, fine arts freshman, secretary, and Stephen Trujillo, engineering sophomore, treasurer.
Former Faculty Member To Give Art Show Sunday
Bv TOM STEWART
A former member of the architecture faculty who has been a local artist for several years will give a farewell show Sunday afternoon at Cordley school.
"People in my own country have the feeling that art is a nuisance, a disturbance. If it doesn't 'click,' if it doesn't work, if it isn't practical—they don't like it," he said.
Gerald V. Davis, who taught here from 1947 until 1951, said his show may prove "more educational than interesting."
"It's pathetic that the public is not educated. They say, 'Show me a picture of an apple that looks like an apple'," he said.
Mr. Davis has backed an art club for Indians from the Haskell area. Having studied in Europe, painted in different sections of the country, and taught many groups with varying interests, he wanted to test the capacities and reactions of persons who have the advantage of an Indian background, he said.
Student Recalls Coronation Pomp
His show at Cordley will not be overweighted toward any particular subiects, such as portraits.
"I think I have a pretty mixture. There'll be plenty of heads—I like to paint heads. And I'll have some things with a religious motif," he said.
Mr. Davis, who is "not a modern, but inclined toward modernism," is showing his works before he leaves for the East to study and paint. Much of his art study was in Paris.
Bv MARY BETZ
The pomp and pageantry of Coronation week in England—in 1937 when George VI was proclaimed king—is recalled by Miss Mary Kinnane, graduate student and native of Liverpool, England.
Miss Kinnane is an assistant instructor in speech, working for a master's degree in radio. At the time of the coronation she was a junior high school student in Liverpool.
May 12, 1937, was a big day for England, she recalls. England was a nation of mixed emotions—happiness over the ascendance of George VI, sadness over the abdication of Edward VIII.
Edward had become much loved by the people in his short reign since the death of his father, King George V, in 1935. Plans for his coronation were being formed when he suddenly abdicated. The newly issued currency with Edward's picture was withdrawn, and people began to
look for the first time at his brother, George VI, then Duke of York.
Souvenirs of the royal family and the coronation were the main selling stock in Liverpool's stores. Coronation mugs, china plates, pencils, tie pins, brooches, scarves, and other merchandise was featured—all with
As Coronation week drew closer, England became more and more "George-conscious." Miss Kinnane said. The unionjack, with pictures of the king and queen, was flown throughout the city that week. Trees in the many parks were lighted at night with large colored lights.
There was some feeling that Edward had played a nasty trick, leaving the cares and responsibilities of the throne to his sickly younger brother, George, Miss Kinnane recalls. George's family was set forth as a "model family" and the peoples' affection for them increased steadily.
Coronation 1937 and pictures of the royal family imprinted on them.
School children were given a week's vacation to join in the festivities. Each child received a free jigsaw puzzle, picturing the royal coach and heads of the royal family, with flags of England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales in each corner.
Fountain-like fireworks lighted the skies the night before and night of the coronation. The changing lights outlined pictures of the king, queen, and princesses, with scenes from the life of the royal family.
Townspeople planted coronation gardens of red, white, and blue flowers in the shape of a crown. Carnivals and a pageant, "Britannia Rules the Waves," paid further tribute to the newly-crowned king and queen. On Coronation day divine services were held in every church in the land, after a national day of prayer had been proclaimed the previous Sunday, Miss Kinnane said.
