STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Tax Drop Humphrey said, policies that are "sound for all Americans—not for just one class, group or segment, but for all." Notes "Real Progress" The throng that filled Consti tution Hall—representing about half of the delegates to the bank ers' 79th annual• convention—ap plauded, cheered and whistled as the President appeared, smiling, to deliver his brief welcome. Secretary Humphrey, besides reporting "real progreSs" toward a balanced budget and a 'reversal of the rise in federal spending, ended overnight conjecture that the administration might seek re newal of the excess profits levy George M. Humphrey Sees Tax Cuts and the expiring 10 per cent in crease in income taxes which was voted after the Kore an War started. Bankers Applaud Such speculation had been stir red by Eisenhower's address in Boston last night. The President then declared "there is no sacri fice—no labor, no tax, no service —too hard for us to bear to sup port a logical and- , necessary de fense of our freedom." That the bankers approved Humphrey's reassurance on this score was clear; They interrupted his speech with applause three times, after each of these three statements: White House Gave Okay "It is the definite policy of this administration, through tax re ductions, to return to the people for them to spend for themselves all the real savings in government spending which can be reason ably anticipated." • Administration sources said the White House had approved Hum phrey's words in advance. They. said that if more revenue iineed'- ed for defense—because of Soviet possesion of the hydrogen bomb or other factors—the administra tion will seek to get it from "other taxes," nature unspecified. Humphrey gave the bankers no hint, however, that the adminis tration would not insist on con tinuation of the present 52 per cent corporate income tax, sched uled to drop to 47 per cent on April 1, or of;-the wartime excise rates which are due for reduction on the same date. Reds Give Report On 7 U.S. POW's TOKYO, Sept. 22 (W)—Peiping radio said tonight seven of the U.S. prisoners listdd as unaccount ed for by the Allies were dead or repatriated. But all four Peiping named as exchanged never were on the list of 944 Americans for whom the UN Command demand ed an accounting. Peiping said three soldiers, car ried_ on the UN list of those un accounted for by the Commu nists, •were dead. One was Pfc. James E. Bobovnky, listed by the UN Command as a corporal from Youngstown, Ohio. Red Delay Of Talks Is Defeated UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Sept. 22 VP)—The UN rebuffed twice today a stubborn move by Rus sia's Andrei Y. Vishinsky to re open the whole question of who will sit in the Korean peace con ference. The General Assembly voted 40-8 late today against Vishinsky. This followed a vote of 11-2 by which the steering committee de cided against recommending that the assembly take up the Russian proposal. The Soviet bloc plus ' Sweden, Burma and Indonesia voted in the. Assembly in favor of reopening the Korean peace conference de bate. Ten coutries abstained. Lodge Surprises The next move indicated for Vishinsky is in the 60-nation Po litical Committee, where he will try to have the -Korean issue put first on the ,committee's - work sheet. Delegates said the whole Vishinsky maneuver was designed to brincr the peace conference back into the assembly debate in some fashion before the Oct. 28 deadline for the conference to open. The steering committee heard a surprise suggestion by U.S. Dele gate Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., that the Korean peace conference it self decide the controversial .ques tion whether neutrals will take part in the parleys. Lloyd Backs Lodge Vishi n s k y immediately de nounced Lodge's suggestion as a "mere chess move which is inap propriate here" and accused Lodge of trying to turn the com mittee into a "kindergarten where the children play a cat and mouse game." He warned that rejection of his move to reopen •the issue here would wreck the conference. Selwyn Lloyd of Britain,. who backed Lodge's idea immediately as a constructive gesture, re minded Vishinsky that he laughed at American arms proposals in Paris two years ago but lived to regret his untimely- laughter. Lloyd said he hoped that Vishin sky would have second thoughts again. He described his attitude as "lamentable." Vishinsky• whispered to Juliusz Katz-Suchy, Poland, while Lloyd was speaking and Katz-Suchy promptly answered that the So viet bloc had not taken a posi tion on 'the subject. Some dele gates speculated later that Vish insky already had begun to have second thoughts. Explorers often have reported land in Arctic seas which could not be found later and scientists now believe these "lands" are the huge ice islands which drift with Arctic currents. The Used Book Agency ;s _Open Every Day This - Week To Sell USED -BOOKS U B A In the TUB 2 Georgian Officials Removed By Reds LONDON, Sept. 22 (JP)—A new purge, the third within 18 months, hit the Soviet Republic of Georgia today. The two top men were fired in a shakeup possibly mirroring a fresh struggle in the Krem lin for political control of the homeland of Joseph Stalin and Lav renty Beria. A broadcast from Tbilisi Tif Premier Valerian Bakradze, who had headed the government since last April; was dismissed in disgrace and G. D: Javakhishvili, a former deputy premier, was named in his place. Work Unsatisfactory Secretary Mirtshkulava of the Central Committee of the Geor gian Communist party was simul taneously dismissed and replaced by a man named Mamaladje, pre sumably a former justice minis ter of the republic. The broadcast stated the meet ing "noted that the Bureau of the'. Central Committee of the Communist Party of Georgia and the Council of Ministers of the Georgian Soviet Socialist Repub lic have not achieved the fulfill ment of the decree of the July plenary session of the Central Committee. of the Communist party of the Soviet Union and de clared the work of the Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist party of Georgia and the Council of Ministers of the Georgian S. S. R. was unsatisfac tory." Shafalin Is Accuser The removal of Bakradze and Mirtshkulava could be just a de layed-action cleanup of Beria men in top Georgian posts. But a secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from Moscow, N. N. Shatalin, presided at the purge session. His an nounced presence makes it ob vious that he is the man who brought the orders from the Kremlin. Shatalin is one of the three secretaries of the Central Com mittee in Moscow subordinate to the newly elected first secretary, Nikita Khrushchev. Presumably he gets his instructions from Khrushchev. This suggests the two new men now running the party and gov ernment in Georgia may be Khrushchev men. 36 New Polio Cases PITTSBURGH, Sept. 22 (p)— S even Western Pennsylvania counties reported 36 new polio cases last week, the city health department said today. - PAGE THREE is, the capital, gave the details: 15.
