John S. Fine applied a “makeshift” label today to a non administration tax program sug gested as an alternate to the per sonal income levy. Digging into a maze of figures shown in his projected $1,200,000,- 000 budget for the next two years, the governor said: “The simple fact may be re peated—we have been obligated to pay $112,000,000 for which no revenue has been provided. This money and the balance of the $163,000,000 needed for the next biennium can only come from taxes.” Measure Revived So- far, Fine’s plan for a one half of one per cent income tax to raise $119,000,0000 in the next two years hag. had rough going in- the House. The once-defeated measure was revived yesterday but the House GOP leadership lacked the necessary 105 votes to put it over decisively. Fine’s special statement at tacked a four-part tax -rogram set up by an accounting firm at the direction of Sen. John M. Walker, Republican floor leader. The proposals called for: Re-enactment of the cent a’ bot tle soft drink tax, expected to bring in $30,000,000 in two years. Corporate Tax Increase the corporate net in come tax from four to five per cent to raise $44,000,000. Cutting the civil defense ap propriation from $20,000,000 to $2,000,000. Revising anticipated tax rev enues at $60,000,000 higher than the figure forecast by the gov ernor’s budget secretary, Dr. Ed ward B. Logan.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Tobey said he replied that he intended nothing of the sort, but that Mr. Truman, insisting he had gotten information from a source in whom he had “the most com plete confidence,” declared: ’ No Objection “Now let me tell you this, sena tor. If you want to have me im peached, you just go right ahead and I’ll help you.”' Tobey did not interpret what the President may have meant when he said “I’ll help you.” Tuesday was the day before Mr. •Truman dismissed Gen. Douglas MacArthur, however, and there was speculation that perhaps the President had in mind his dis missal order and the controversy it would arouse. During the storm in Congress over the MacArthur ouster several members have called for the President’s impeachment. No Hard Feelings But Tobey has not made any public demand for impeachment. He said today he entertains “friendly” feelings for the Presi dent and is sorry that the inci dent occurred. Other senators offered an ex planation for the President’s ire. they reported that Tobey had told a closed meeting of the Senate Banking subcommittee Monday that the President “could be impeached” if he suppressed evidence' he once claimed to possess that some members of Congress received fees in connec tion with.

Three Red jets were shot down and two others probably destroy ed. A B-29 gunner got one—quite a feat, hitting a target flashing by from left to right at a speed of some 500 miles an hour. In the second dogfight, 15 Red MIG-15’s attacked 12 American F-86’s.' The Sabres downed two and probably destroyed another. The U.S. Fifth Air Force re ported that no American fighters were lost.

Taft (R-Ohio) said tonight the prevention of World War 111 “cannot now be accomplished without an aggressive war against Communist China.” He said Gen. MacArthur spoke up on foreign policy because of a “justified fear” the .United States would end the Korean war by appeasement. Said Taft' in • a speech to the Yale Engineering association here: “If the original sending of American troops to Korea was to prevent World War 111, then that purpose has been long completely lost from sight. “It cannot now be accomplished without an aggressive war against Communist China and a punish ment of the aggressor, as the North Koreans were punished.” Taft shid “the firing of General MacArthur has led the world to believe that we are now looking in the direction of appeasement.” "DIMENSIONS in MUSIC Gen.
