House GOP's Will Approve Tax Stamp Date HARRISBURG, May 15 VP)— House Republicans tonight agreed to go along with Gov. George M. Leader's proposed Jan. 1 effective date for using stamps in collect ing the 3 per cent sales tax. Under the stamp plan, retailers will issue stamps to consumers as evidence that the tax is paid. The stamps are redeemable to the state for 2 per cent of their face value. Rep., Smith. Republican Floor leader, said the GOP found itself in the position of agreeing that the July 1 starting date in the present law is too early to begin the stamp plan. "The governor hasn't enforced the law in that he didn't even start to prepare for the stamp plan," Smith told a newsman. "If he now wants Jan. 1, that's all 'right with us." The change, approved at a House GOP caucus, will be in corporated into proposed 'amend ments to the sales tax. This has been a major point of controversy for more than a month. The lawmakers pushed into high gear a drive to adjourn this week. The Senate adopted unanimously a resolution fixing Friday, May 18,. at 8 p.m. (EST) as the time for final adjournment.

But the President, 81, was trailing a dead candidate in a surprisingly heavy protest vote in the capital city of Seoul itself. With 3,090,700 ballots counted over the nation—almost half of the vote cast—Rhee had a com manding margin over ex-Com munist Cho Bong Am, his only live opponent. Police Give Returns National police said unofficial returns counted by 7:30 a.m. gave Rhee 2,227,309 and Cho 889,242, with 793,179 invalid. Election officials said the bulk of the invalid ballots were for P. H. Shinicky. the Democratic party candidate and Rhee's long time political foe. Shinicky died of a cerebral hemorrhage while campaigning May 5. Rhee Gets Voles In Seoul balloting, Rhee got only 173,869 votes as compared to 237,442 invalid ballots. Cho had 102,301 in Seoul. The bulk of the vote still un counted is from rural areas, where Rhee's greatest political strength lies. Korean election laws made no provision for removing Shinicky's name from the ballot after his death. His Democratic party lead ers urged followers to vote for him as a protest against Rhee's two administrations and Rhee's Liberal party. Election officials said all votes for Shinicky would be ruled in valid. Farm Bill OK Seen in Capital WASHINGTON, May 15 LLP)— Senate Republican Leader Wil liam F.

Coe, one of the former Treas ury Department employes linked to Soviet espionage by Elizabeth Bentley. refused to say whether he is a Communist. In doing so, he relied on his Fifth Amendment protection against possible self-incrimina tion after the subcommittee over ruled his plea of the First Amend ment's free speech guarantee. When Coe last appeared before the subcommitte, he invoked his Fifth Amendment protection and refused to say whether he then was a member of a Soviet espion age ring. That was on Dec. 3, 1952. A few days later Coe was dismissed as secretary of the International Monetary Fund. Coe told the-subcommittee he now is anxious to answer all ques tions about espionage and swore, "I never at any time engaged in espionage."
