slavia expect aggression - from'
Russia or the statellite states this
year? Or an invasion?" I
He replied:
"The government of Yugosla
via is not engaged in the busi
ness of .making prophesies. But
the documents (in the white pa
per) do show that the people in
'ugoslavia should be concerned
and ready. for any possible oc
currence.'
Copp Sent . To Lie
Vejvoda told the press club
that copies 1 / 4 of the documents were
being sent to Trygve Lie, secre
tary-general, of the United Na
tions, and others to Western
diplomatic • representat iv es in
Belgrade.' , •
"The government feels that it
is better to settle these affairs
through direct negotiations. How
ever, if this policy (on the part
of the Cominform) grows worse,
we shill be forced to refer it to
the United Nations," he' said.

State Considers
Income Tax Levy
HARRISBURG, March 9—(PP)—The administration leaned heav
ily'today, on the idea of imposing an income tax to raise a big chunk
of increased state revenues needed for the next two years.
Speaker Herbert P. Sorg (R-Elk) said,a final decision on such a
levy may folloir a confererA , betiveen Gov. John S. Fine and top
leg]slative leaders here next week. •
Talks on an income -tax, he said, have been exploratory so far
A foremost obstacle has been
the question of how far the ad
ministration -m a y go toward a
graduated income tax without vio
lating a section of the constitu
tion that requires taxes to be ap
plied uniformly.
Three Proposals
The state Justice department
has been reportedly looking into
three separate proposals:
(1) A flat tax on gross income
without any exemptions for de
pendents, medical expenses a n d
similar items. The tax rate is still
unmentioned pending determina
tion from official - figures of the
total income of Pennsylvanians.
(2) .A levy on adjusted net in
come, taking into account exeMp
tions. That rate, too, is up in - the
air.
(3) A four percent impost on the
federal income taxes paid by a
Pennsylvanian.
The third proposal, a unique
idea in commonwealth annals,
would nave the effect of a grad
uated income tax' since federal
taxes are determined on a grad
uated basis.
