British,
Clash
CAIRO, Egypt, Oct. 18— (JP) —British sea- reinforcements arrived
in the Suez tonight to back up airborne parachute troops joining the
British garrisons who already have fought their first battle with
Egyptian army troops.
The Egyptian government announced a British cruiser from the
Mediterranean has anchored at Port Said, the northern head of the
canal. It said the warship came
in “Contrary to all customs and
without advising port authori
ties.”
Forces Due at Gulf
The cruiser presumably is
H.M.S. Gambia, which has been
reported enroute to the Suez from
the British naval base at Malta.
Other British sea forces are due
shortly from the Persian Gulf by
way of the .Indian Ocean and the
Red Sea.
The first clash between mili
tary forces of the two countries
resulted in the British winning
control Wednesday of a canal
bridge in the grimly disputed
area.
Armies Dig In
As the British reinforcements
poured in by sea and air, both the
British and Egyptian armies were
digging in along the highway be
tween Cairo and the canal to es
tablish gun emplacements in their
respective sectors.
British tommies were posted
in foxholes with rifles on a ridge
running at right angles to the
highway near the canal and a
distant hilltop bore what travel
ers said appeared to be artillery.
A total of 12 Egyptians are
reported to have been killed and
scores injured in the rioting that
began Tuesday at Ismailia and
spread along the canal.
Pa. School Taxes
May be Increased
HARRISBURG, Oct. 18—(AP)
—Most Pennsylvania residents
will be paying higher school taxes
next year, says a school expert.
Perston O. Van Ness, executive
secretary of the State School Di
rectors Association, predicts that
most Keystone communities will
have to boost school taxes in
1952.
The increases will be necessary,
he said, in order to meet climbing
school costs.
“There is no question about it,”
Van Ness asserted, “many school
districts are hard-hit now and
more will be hard-hit next year.”
The education official said leg
islation now before the general
assembly to lift pay levels for
Pennsylvania’s 60,000 public
school teachers will help aggra
vate school cost problems.
The legislation would grant all
teachers an immediate $2OO pay
granted most teachers this fall,
increase on top of a $2OO raise

English was printed in Boston in

issued in Boston, 1661, was the
first printed in North America.

Jessup Voted Out
By Subcommittee
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18—<7P)—
President Truman’s nomination
of Ambassador-at-Large Philip C.
Jessup as a delegate to the United
Nations was voted down by a
Senate foreign relations sub
committee today, 3 to 2..
In the Senate, Republicans
quickly demanded that the issue
be settled once and for all by a
floor vote.
The GOP demand apparently
stemmed from fears that if the
Senate itself does not act on the
nomination before Congress ad
journs, President Truman might
give Jessup a recess appointment.

Senate Passes
New Tax Bill ■
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18^-C^ s )
A new compromise tax bill, mak
ing,. the income tax boost just a
little less, was passed quickly by
the Senate today.
A voice, vote in the Senate
sent the modified revenue meas
ure back to the House and a vote
there tomorrow. The House voted
203 to 157 Tuesday against the
bill in its original form.
The new bill is estimated to
raise $5,691,000,000 in new taxes,
compared with the estimated $5,-
732,000,000 in the previous one.
In most essentials, however, the
two measures are the same de
spite the $41,000,000,000 money
difference.
If the House should pass the
bill tomorrow, Congress prob
ably could adjourn Saturday un
til January. If it turned it down
again, there is a possibility of
further delay or a special session
during the time now set aside
for vacation!
House leaders called their
members to meet at 11 a.m. to
morrow, ready to vote on the
bill. Its chances appeared im
proved but it still was not a
certainty by any means.
