Denis. Make New
Tax Slash Bill
(By Francis M. Lemay)
► WASHINGTON, (/P) — Demo
crats hatched a plan to use the
GOP tax cut bill as the model for
a substitute containing a $3,200,
000,000 corporation tax.
As a way to save a part of Pres
ident Truman’s own tax program,
it looked like a forlorn hope.
The great election year debate
entered with the Republicans con
fident their bill, with its $6,500,
000,000 in tax deductions, will
pass unchanged on Monday. The
Republican bill does not provide
any new taxes.
The Democratic leadership had
just about given up any idea of
putting the President’s $40-a
head- tax-cutting proposal before
the House, instead, the search was
for a compromise.

Riots Break Out
In India After i
%
Gandhi's Funeral
i
—
‘Continued from Page One>
hey are to be gathered and taken
to the river Ganges—sacred to his
Hindu faith—and thrown into the
waters in the fanner traditional
with Hindus.
India was gripped with fear of
what may come in the w’ake ofj
Gandhi’s violent death. Rioting in
; Bombay, which took 15 lives Fri
day, subsided somewhat, but in!
! Poona, the office of an extremist!
Hindu newspaper was burned.
Sullen Poona crowds attacked
j the property of persons known to
have opposed Gandhi. Tilak me
morial hall was set afire as crowds
searched for anyone possibly con
nected with the assassin. Bombay
police arrested five persons sus
pected of being implicated.
New Delhi police disclosed that;
Gandhi’s accused assassin had
been arraigned secretly and held
without bail for investigation of
murder. He was arraigned under1
, the name of Narayan Vinayak
Gadse of Poona. The 25-year-old
assassin had pumped bullets into J
Gandhi’s chest and leg at close j
range.
The procession to the Jumna
river was tumultuous all the way.
At one point, Prime Minister Ja
waharlal Nehru was reported to
have rescued a woman endanger
ed by the crush.
Women fainted in the tremen
dous crush of people. Children |
collapsed under foot. Men bled |
from wounds inflicted by the flail-j
; ing sticks of those fighting for a *
! view of the, procession.
Hour by hour the crowd grew
along the five-mile route from
Birla House to the river, until
tens of thousands of Indians mill-1
; ed about in turmoil, creasely
shouting the name of the Mahat
ma. The cry “Victory to Gandhi!”
rang out frequently above the
clamor.
I
NEW DELHI, </P)—Many per
sons here believe the assassina
! tion of Mohandas Gandhi was the
work of underground left-wingers j
who opposed his efforts .to halt
communal bloodshed.
A cabinet shakeup may come
, in the wake of complaints from ,
Gandhi's followers that he should
have been afforded better protec- I
j tion. Gandhi himself declined such 1
i protection.
Government officials are tight j
lipped on what forces might have 1
been behind the assassination. At1
this writing they apparently do
not know whether the slaying was
the result of a highly organized
plan which possibly has others
marked for death, or was carried
out by persons opposed only to
Gandhi.
The government appears not to
know whether the assassination
was the culmination of smolder
ing resentment among Hindu refu
gees from Pakistan over efforts to
protect the Moslem^ in India, or
part of an organized plot to over
! throw the “old guard” now in
power in the All-India congress
party.
Such a plbt might be aimed at
the section of the party which fol
lowed Gandhi the closest.

his students who presented him
with a piece of beautifully carved

Goes To Church
To Steal Purses
CHICAGO, (JF)—Pearl Stewart,
19, who admitted she went to
church to steal purses—always at
the most solemn parts of the ser
vice—was sentenced to jail for six
months and placed in probation
for two years in felony court Fri
day.
Judge Charles S. Dougherty
told the girl that “although the
law is designed to give first of
fenders another chance, yours is a
cold blooded enterprise.
“You maliciously chose the most
solmn moments of the mass to
steal; moments when the minds of
the worshippers are far from
worldly things. This not only was
a crime, it was sacrilege.”
Miss Stewart, who had pleaded
guilty to a petty larceny charge,
said she had quit her job because
of a back injury.
Brieker Becomes
GOP Darkhorse
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Senator
Brieker of Ohio moved back into
a Republican darkhorse role to
day.
Reports are that if backers of
Senator Taft fail to win the GOP
Presidential nomination for their
man Brieker will be their second
choice.
As the vice presidential nominee
in 1944, Brieker has a wide ac
quaintance with party members.
And if a recent demonstration for
him at the GOP national commit
tee meeting here means anything,
he is popular with organization
Republicans who have a loud
voice in national conventions.
Brieker has stepped aside this
year in favor of Taft, just as Taft
got out of his Ohio colleague’s way
in 1944. In addition, Brieker has
made plans to campaign actively
for Taft.
