Tax-Cut Bill May Pass House By Tomorrow
Washington, March 23 — (UP)— The house ways and means committee voted 18 to 5 today to accept the senate version of the four billion 800 million dollar income tax reduction bill.
Committee chairman Harold Kentusen (R.-Minn.) said he would assist the house today to approve the senate bill. This would complete congressional action and put it up to Mr. Truman.
the human.
The house last month passed a bill calling for an income tax reduction of six percent, 500 million dollars. Republican leaders went along with the lower senate figure because they believe it can be enacted over the expected veto. They got substantial Democratic support for that belief.
Democratic supporters Since Republicans must obtain unanimous consent to obtain immediate house approval of the senate bill, it was expected that their attempt to do this today would be blocked by a Democratic objection. This will delay final congressional action on the tax reduction measure until tomorrow.
The bill was approved by an overwhelming senate vote of 78 to 11 Monday. The senate vote was 18 more than the two thirds needed to kill a veto and G.O.P. leaders believed the house margin would be about the same.
A two-thirds vote of both houses is necessary to override a veto. President Truman successfully vetored two income tax reduction bills the past year, the house sustaining one and the senate the other. Administration spokesmen have indicated he will veto this one too.
Court Rules No New Trial
A motion for a new trial in the suit for an injunction to set aside the lease of the Lawrence Women's club was denied Saturday by District Judge Hugh Means.
The club house at 1941 Massachusetts street is known as Briar Manor, and is being used as a residence hall for University women. It was given to the University by the directors of the club.
The suit was brought by seven members of the club. Early in the February term of the district court, Judge Means robed that the board of directors of the Women's club had acted within its rights in leasing the property.

News Of The World Trieste Is Sore Spot
GREECE—The smouldering civil war flamed up on the propaganda front. The Greek government reported an outstanding victory over strong guerrilla forces in the north. This claim was met by an immediate charge by Moscow radio, supported by the "Free Greece" radio, that government forces, at American

WASHINGTON said that it would oppose any barter with Yugoslavia and would seek to freeze Belgrade out of any discussions of the question. However, Russia was regarded as certain to reject the Trieste plan—leaving the issue deadlocked. In Trieste there was tension sparked by a running gun battle between Yugoslavia and Allied patrols. Washington was prepared for further propaganda support of De Gasperi in the form of a new effort to win Italy's admittance to the United Nations—a move almost certain to provoke Soviet opposition.
The Northern Adriatic port city of Trieste, an international sore spot since the days before World War I, emerged today as the temporary focal point of an international crisis.

ITALY—All interest was centered momentarily on Trieste. Premier Alcide De Gasperi's chances of winning the April 18 Italian election were believed sharply strengthened by the Western power offer to give Trieste back to Italy. Yugoslavia countered with a proposal to yield her claim to Trieste in return for the lesser city of Gorizia.

BERLIN—The Russians and Western powers were sparring for position with four-power machinery for the operation of the Reich capital virtually paralyzed by the intensity of the struggle. The Berlin city assembly suspended meetings when the Russians laid down a ban on any anti-Soviet statements by Germans. Four-power meetings were boycotted by the Russians.
GENEVA—A new diplomatic front between the Russians and the West was opened up at the international conference on freedom of information and the press. Benjamin Cohen, chief of the U. S. delegation, charged that the world was getting a false impression through press reports that it was on the brink of another war.
PALESTINE--There was every indication that within weeks Palestine will be shattered by civil war between Jews and Arabs on a scale approximating that of the Spanish civil war. For the moment no new major clashes were reported but British forces were taking major precautions preliminary to their May 15 withdrawal. In Washington a sharp congressional demand for an inquiry into the American abandonment of Palestine partition was arising and in New York democratic political leaders were attacking President Truman.

Lewis Rejects Peace Formula; Packers Appeal
45th Tue LAw
Washington, March 23 — (UP — John L. Lewis today rejected a government formula for settling the soft coal pension strike.
In the packinghouse workers strike, packers presented their case against striking C.I.O. employees today before a closed session of an emergency presidential fact-finding board in Chicago.
Mr. Lewis's rejection cleared the way for the White House to step in and seek to halt the walkout under the Taft-Hartley law.
The rejection was made in a letter to federal mediation director Cyrus Ching. It was signed by the three United Mine Workers' representatives who received the formula from Mr. Ching at a conference last night.
Sources close to the White House said Mr. Truman already has selected a possible board of inquiry for the coal dispute. If the president names such a board, these sources said, he will ask it to report back to him within a week so he can seek an early injunction to force the 400.000 soft coal miners back to work.
The three-man board, which is hearing the packer's side in Chicago is headed by Dr. Nathan P. Feinsinger. He concludes its hearings tomorrow and will report back to the president by April 1.
Meanwhile, James Boyd, director of the bureau of mines, told the United Press that the nation's coal stocks have dwindled to dangerous levels since the walkout began eight days ago.
As the board met, police and sheriff's deputies at South St. Paul, Minn., said they would enforce a temporary restraining order issued yesterday to prohibit pickets from stopping movement to and from Swift and Armour plants there.
Five members of the University faculty will give research reports during the two days. They are Dr. Treece, Dr. Downs, Dr. Herbert A. Wenner of the School of Medicine, Luther H. Buchele, and Lolita Pannell.
Bacteriologists from schools, health services, and industries will attend. Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, and Oklahoma are the states included in the Missouri Valley branch. Dr. E. L. Treece, associate professor of bacteriology at th University and president of the branch, is in charge of the program.
The annual meeting of the Missouri Valley branch of the Society of American Bacteriologists will be held Friday and Saturday at the University.
Dr. Guy P. Youmans of Northwestern university will give a talk on "Tuberculosis." Dr. Cora M. Downs, professor of bacteriology at the University, will give a demonstration of virus techniques in the animal laboratories.
Dr. P. L. Gainey of Kansas State college is vice-president of the Missouri Valley branch.
