ANNAPOLIS, Md. —ln de
fense of its Eastern and Na
tional prestige Coach Charlie
Speidel's undefeated matmen
will match the wrestling skill
of the Naval Academy here at
4:15 this afternoon. The dual
meet, which is expected to
draw a capacity crowd, is the
most outstanding and most im
portant Eastern Intercollegiate
wrestling match scheduled today.
With the possibility of a shake
up in the starting Nittany Lion
lineup, Penn State's chances to
secure win number 34 are 50-50.
In order to maintain its present
winning streak which began in
1950, Penn State's matmen will
have to win the early bouts where
Bob Homan, Hal Byers or Larry
Fornicola, Dick Lemyre, and Jer
ry Maurey will most likely wres
tle.
Speidel's starting matmen, - who
are never officially announced un
til dual meet time, are given the
"either-or" tabs in three weight
classes. The first is found in the
130-pound division where he said
that either Byers or Fornicola
will wrestle. The other two divi
sions are the 157 .and 167-pound
classes where Bill Shawley—
named for either division and
Bill Krebs, and • Doug Frey will
compete.
Byers, and Fornicola have cap
ably handled their men through
out the season and both have been

Democrats La nch
Move to Cut Taxes
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19 (IP)—Veteran Sen. Walter. F. George
(D-Ga) launched a Democratic move in the Senate today to slash
individual income taxes by an estimated 4 1 / 2 billion dollars this
year and by 10 billion dollars next year.
The senior Democrat and former chairman of the tax-handling
Senate finance committee told the
Senate, "If we are courageous
enough to take this forward-look
ing step before the economy falls
flat on its face, we can be of
some service to the country."
He introduced a bill to raise
personal exemptions for each tax
payer arid each dependent from
the preesnt $6OO level to $BOO this
year and $lOOO next year. That
would give low income and large
family groups the biggest pro
portionate tax cuts.

predicted almost all Senate Demo
crats and many RepubliCans would
support ,George's proposal. Sev
eral Republicans indicated they
would support at least some in
crease in individual exemptions.
George, told the Senate he was
"not an alarmist nor a prophet-of
doom" but he felt his plan would
be the proper approach to ward
off a serious economic downturn.
All tax bills must originate in
the House. But the House ways
and means committee has been
working on a big tax revision pro
ject which is slated to hit the
House floor within about two
weeks. George's proposal could be
attached when the bill reached
the Senate.
Democrats -on the House com
mittee are planning a major floor
battle to increase exemptions to
$7OO, for an estimated revenue re
duction of 2 1 / 2 billion dollarS.
Their proposal was beaten with
