Urging the approval of Ameri can participation in a Western European army, the general said that if •12 American divisions were given sufficient air and sea support, they could hold the Breton pepinsula of Southwest France against any R'ussian at tack. Committees To Act The two Senate committees will reconsider tomorrow resolu tions okaying the sending of more U.S. -ground troops to join the North Atlantic pact forces Eisen hower commands. - Supporters want to clarify the resolutions to approve specifical ly the dispatch of four divisions and to provide for Congresssional consideration of any future troop assignments. One of the arguments against sending any U. S. troops has been that Russia could overrun the continent and might thus destroy a large segment of American for ces. Foolish To Start. War The five star general told com mittee members that the Soviet masters in the Kremlin would be "really fools" to start a general war now. Instead of getting expected help from satellites, Eisenhower said the Russians might find these border states "one of their greatest sources of weakness." "I do not think the Russians in five short years' have been able to put all of this stuff together and feel quite happy about it," the general said, referring to the military potential of iron curtain countries. ' Eisenhower said he thinks "dis sident elements all the waz from the Balkans right up to the Baltic will rise."

THE DAILY M,LEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Primaries In State Set For July 24 HARRISBURG, March 12 (ell") Gov. John S. Fine signed' into law tonight a bill fixing July 24 as the -date for Pennsylvania's 1951 primary election. The measure also spells out the method for service men and wom en, away from their home county, to vote through absentee ballot. The date of the primary was advanced from Sept: 11 to give members of the Armed )Forces time to apply for ballots and re turn them to their - -county elec tion board. The new law is similar to a soldier absentee voting law in ef fect during World War 11. How ever, the new statute was broad ened to permit absentee balloting also by bedridden or hospitalized veterans. On the tax front, the ,Fine ad ministration's choice for , new levies appeared narrowed down to two broad-based taxes, a flat income tax or a general levy, with exemptions for such neces sities as, food. A day of back-stage conferences developed a report that, for the time being, a flat income levy seemed to have greater consider ation but that the sales tax had not been ruled out. A flat income tax would carry the same rate regardless of the amount of income involved. The state constitution prohibits a state graduated income tax such as the federal government imposes.

The Supreme 'Court refused by a 6 to 0 vote-even to review his case. • That decision, a simple order of a type carrying no explanation, left Hiss convicted as a liar and a betrayer of the government placed hiin in its highest councils. His sentbnce is five years im prisonment. Hiss once was a top level State department official, a close adviser to President Roose velt.
