State Sales Tax
To Use Stamps
HARRISBURG, May 9 (?P)—The General Assembly lead
ership today fixed Friday, May 18 as the target date to wind
up the 17-month long session after deciding definitely to re
tain the stamp plan of collecting the state's 3 per ,cent sales
tax.
Republican and Democratc leaders of both House and Sen
ate agreed at a two-hour confer
ence on the general terms of other
controversial legislation in a long
step toward winding up the long
est session of the Legislature in
Pennsylvania's history.
"Differences Ironed Out"
"We have ironed out a great
many differences," Sen. Rowland
B. Mahany, Republican floor lead
er, told reporters at the end of
the conference.
In addition to the stamp plan
decision, the bipartisan leaders
agreed - the Senate would pass the
House-approved teacher salary in
crease and the borrowing power
of the General State Authority
would be increased by 100 million
dollars,
Stamp Plan
The stamp collectionplan, due
to go into effect on July 1, has
been a storm center of dispute
since • the assembly passed the
sales tax law in 'March with the
plan written into the law.
Gov. George M. Leader, Demo
crats of both branches and some
Senate Republicans sought to
knock out that plan in a rewrite
of the sales tax law, now await
ing action, pinning down some
of its provisions. But House Re
publicans, who originated the
plan, insisted on retaining it. A
House-Senate conference com
mittee held the new version of
the sales tax law until the dispute
was finally resolved.
Mahany States
''The conference committee re
port, on. amendments to the sales
tax Will include the stamp plan,"
Mahany said.
Sen. Joseph M. Barr, Demo
cratic state chairman, was asked
if the governor would accept the
stamp plan.
"I can't answer that," Barr re
plied. -
Mahany said the Senate probab
ly will pass the teacher salary
bill Friday and send it to Gov.
Leader who has said he would
study the state's revenue situa
tion before deciding what action
he would take on it.
Lewis Launches
Miners' Strike
WILKES-BARRE, Pa., May 9
(P)—John L. Lewis today launch
ed his first strike since 1950 in
Pennsylvania's anthracite fields,
idling some 4800 United Mine
Workers union members who
work for the Glen Alden Corp.,
World's largest single hard coal
producer. _
The UMW, headed by Lewis,
charged the company—which has
nine mines in this vicinity—had
baited payments into the union's
health and welfare fu n d and
termed that action a "flagrant
violation" of the contract:
A spokesman for Glen Alden
admitted it ceased payments "sev
eral meeks ago" to meet com
petition of other anthracite firms
that it said were not paying in
50 cents to the fund for every ton
of coal mined.
Glen Alden said it approved of
the welfare fund, but insisted that
every company must . articipate.

In Athens' Rioting
ATHENS, Greece, May 9 (Al—
Sympathy for two Greek Cypriot
gunmen condemned to die on a
British gallows boiled up here to
day in rioting against both Brit
ain and the United States. Four
persons were killed and 191 in
jured before troops and police
restored order.
The rioting was Athens' worst
since the 1944 Greek revolution.
A mob shattered the windows in
the U.S. Information Service of
fice dedicated to improvement of
understanding among the Western
Allies.
Angry Greeks fought police in
an attempt to break into the
building, but finally were driven
off by counterattacks, during
which the police said they fired
into the air. The office had closed
for the day, and no Americans
were injured there.
The rioters did not explain why
they singled out the information
center, but apparently staged the
attack as a protest against the
United States' refusal to support
Greece's claim. to Cyprus.
That idea sparked a window
smashing riot by 4000 Greek stu
dents here Dec. 14, 1954, against
a building housing five U.S. agen
cies—the U.S. Army, Navy and
Air Force missions to Greece, the
U.S. Information Agency and the
U.S. consulate.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower
made known today he is about to
undergo a "head-to-toe" physical
examination. The regular yearly
checkup, which will put the Pres

what shape he is in for the pos

Eisenhower mentioned the forth
coming session with doctors at a
news conference in which he also:

Democratic factional fight as a

trounced Gov. Allan Shivers, who

ago, in a battle for control of the

said it looked to him like just "an
