Stronger Power In
Espionage Laws
(Continued from Poge One*
gence experts.
T.ie attorney general made no
specific reference to the 1948 spy
hurt in his reeommendat:ons to
"Yngress. But his proposals placed
heavy emphasis on measures de
signed to prevent any future filch
ing of government information.
Besides the request for power to
get evidence by tapping wires and
by-pass the statute of limitations
in spy cases, the asked changes in
the espionage laws to:
1. Make the unauthorized pos
session of restricted government
documents a felony.
2. Require the surrender of such
documents to proper authorities
without demand.
3. Make illegal the unauthorized
handling of national defense in
formation which couid be used “to
the advantage of any foreign na
tion-’—:n< ead of requiring intent
to injure the United States, as at
present.
4. Punish failure to report the
loss, theft, “abstraction, destruc
tion or unlawful transmission” of
res ricted information.
5. Punish conspiracies involved
in the gathering, transmission or
loss of defense information.
(5. Require the registration as
foreign agents of all persons in
this country who ever received in
structions or training in esoionafe
and sabotage under a foreign gov
ernment “or foregin political par
ty.”
7. Make the failure to so register
a continuing offense—to remove
any possibility an offender could
fall back on the three-year statute
of limitations.
8. Require the surrender of ra
dio, telegraph and other communi
cations records to authorized
agents of the government in con
nection with investigations involv
ing the national security.
9. Make permanent the wartime
laws providing $5,000 fine and one
year impri>onment for violating
military orders aimed at protect
ing the nation’s aircraft, airfields,
hips harbors, ports or other wa
ter front facilities.
Marshalls Leave for
wiVaeation Trip”
PINEHURST. N. C., (/P)—Secre
tary of State George C. Marshall
and Mrs. Marshall left by plane
Saturday for San Juan, Puerto
Rico.
The general, whose resignation
is effective Jan. 20, and Mrs. Mar
shall left their resort home here
for Pope Field, where an air force
Cons'ellation plane awaited them.
Gen. Marshall is recuperating
from a recent kidney operation.
The Marshall’s said they plan
ned to remain at San Juan for sev
eral weeks. They will be housed
at Tenth Naval District headquar
ters.
Arrangements for the “vacation
trip” were made while the general
was a patient in Walter Reed Hos
pital last December. He said Sat
urday that Prsident Truman sug
gested the trip.
Congress Cool To
Truman’s Income
Tax Proposal
-•Continued from Page One)
Ihe treasury considers this bracket
to ioegi.i at about ‘ $6,000 a year,
running up to S25.00U or $30,000 a
year. Mr. Tiumarf' added smiling
ly that a man who makes S6,0o0
probably would want the middle
bracket to start at $10,000.
The news conference discussion
of taxes came as a bi-partisan
Congressional bloc ga t h e r e d
strength for a battle to trim down
Mr. Truman’s $41,858,000,000 bud
get for the fiscal year beginning
July 1—the largest peacetime bud
get in his.ory.
Rep. Cannon (D.-Mo.), incoming
chairman of the House appropria
tions committee, told the House
meanwhile htat he is convinced
‘‘we can make sizable and justifi
able reductions” in the Pre :den
tial budget.
Congressional reaction to the
Presdien ’s mention of the S6.000
~nd up income figure—for more
taxes—was instant. It ran like tni*
Senator Taft <R -Ohio) — "I’m
opposed to any increase in taxes.”
Chairman Dougnton (D.-N. C.)
of the tax-originating House ways
and means committee—"I hope
we won’t need to raise taxes as
much as the President thinks is
necessary.”

Milder Weather
CHICAGO, i/P) — The mercury
wasn’t paying much attention to
the calendar Saturday.
The week of Jan. 14-22 is the

pected, says federal forecaster J.

ings were experienced for most of
the country Saturday—after Fri
day’s comparatively mild temper
atures.
However, a mass of cold an
headed from northwest Canada
southward over the northern
Rockies and western North Dako
ta. Some snow' accompanied the
cold air, which extended over
South Dakota, Minnesota, Wiscon
s n and Iow-a over the weekend.
N >rthern New' England and the
Pacific Northwest were the cold
est spots Saturday, with readings
•round zero. There was light rain
from Texas northeastward
through Oklahoma and Missouri
to the upper Mississippi Valley
