GOP Plans Fight For New Tax Cut
Washington—(U.P.)—House Republicans defying a veto threat from President Eisenhower, served notice today they will fight for approval of a bill to cut personal income taxes about 10 per cent on July 1.
GOP members of the House ways and Means committee, which approved the tax cut bill 21-4 earlier this week, said it would "often be challenging Mr. Eisenhower's stand that budget balancing must before tax relief.
Mr. Eisenhower took exactly the opposite position at his first White House news conference yesterday. He said the nation cannot afford to reduce taxes until spending has run out, but he said budget is at least in sight. He clearly implied that he will veto any tax cut that he considers premature.
Mr. Eisenhower found more support for his tax views in the Senate than in the House.
Senate Republican Leader Robert A. Taft said congress should know by May 1 whether it can cut taxes this year and still balance the budget. He added that "the key is military expenditures — some people who want to cut taxes don't want to change the military budget."
Republican members of the ways and means committee, led by Chairman Daniel A. Reed (N.Y.), minced no words in their report contending that mid-year tax relief is essential.
These were the reasons they gave:
1. "Government expenditures are excessive at the present time and a tax reduction will be a strong factor in the formation of unnecessary expenditures."
3. "The people have given the Congress a clear mandate for tax and expenditure reduction."
2. "The high cost of living and heavy tax burdens are inflicting uncalled-for hardships on many people, impeding business growth."
4. "It is only fair and just that individuals be given a tax reduction this June 30 to coincide with the scheduled termination of the excess profits tax on the same date."
Diplomats Lose Maid Quarters
Washington —(U.P.)— The State department promised today to give the taxpayers a break by dropping a maid's room here and a powder room there from the lavish homes it is building for U.S. diplomats in Germany.
Maidless members of Congress sputtered that the department had better do something, and quick, about toning down the swanky construction plans.
They were not placated by the department's explanation that diplomats need fancy dwellings to do a "entertaining" as part of their jobs.
A special House investigating subcommittee yesterday revealed details of the department's $19 million building program in Germany which includes a maid's room for each bachelor's apartment.

Bomb Shelter For Ike Revealed
$3.06, $2.81, $2.55, $2.04, $1.28
Washington — (U.P.)— House members revealed today that the long secret White House bomb shelter is buried three stories deep under steel and concrete and is big enough to house "maybe a hundred people."
They said it comprises several good sized rooms, bare of furniture but equipped with first aid supplies, utilities and a radiation-proof air conditioner.
Some of the lawmakers who inspected the shelter after a luncheon with President Eisenhower yesterday thought it odd that the shelter is located not under the west wing of the White House, where the President works, but near the junction of the mansion itself and the cast wing, where most of the 250-odd White House employees work.
Even so, they figured it would take the President only a few seconds to race to the shelter in event of an unexpected air attack.
Once inside the shelter's bank-vault doors, they said, there won't be much question of the President's security. Rep. Albert Thomas (D-Tex.) told a reporter it was built with atomic bombs in mind and was plenty strong to "to the job."
Some members descended to the shelter by a special elevator, and estimated they dropped about three

flights below street level. Rep. Lawrence H. Smith (R-Wis.), who walked down, said he descended two flights of stairs below the basement. This would put the shelter about 25 feet below ground level, Rep. Smith said. He said the visiting Congressmen were advised the shelter was shielded not only by concrete and steel but by a special
North Korean capital of Pyongyang in flames.
More than 750,000 pounds of explosives were rained on the targets in the biggest one-day bombing attack in months.
The Communist MIGs swarmed over from their Manchurian sanctuary in a vain attempt to break up the bombing attack.
Heavily outnumbered. the American Sabrejets tore into the Red formation with guns blazing.
In one action four Sabrejet pilots tangled with 32 MIGs and shot down three.
In five straight days of aerial combat over North Korea the American pilots had now shot down 14 MIGs, damaged five so severely that they probably crashed, and inflicted more serious damage on 16.
