MAY BE DELAYED
WASHINGTON, July 12 — l.-P) —
Administration leaders were report
ed today to have decided to put
aside the SI,010.000,000 excise tax
slashing bill, pending developments
from the Korean war.
The report could not be officially
confirmed immediately.
One source, who is familiar with
tax matters, told a reporter the
agreement was reached after con
ferences of leading Congressional
Democrats, with representatives of
the administration.
Earlier. Chairman George < D-Ga )
of the Senate Finance Committee
had said he had had no word from
the White House suggesting that
the excise tax-slashing bill be
dropped. Until he received such
word on the House-approved legis
lation. George added, his commit
tee would procp.a with shaping the
bill for ocnate consideration.

State Deprtment is conferring will!
1
the United Nations and with the

He said he could not say whether
other countries, aside from Na
tionalist China, had proposed send
ing in ground forces.
Senator 'iy dings (D-Md.) said
yesterday there have been offers
of troops from other U. N. mem

YANKS FORCED
BACK SEVEN
BLOODY MILES
(Continued from Page 1)
Trygve Lie to urge both North and
South Korea to avoid violations of
international laws of war. He sent
messages to both sides, calling the
reports “gravely disturbing.”
Protest Demanded
In Washington, Sen. Bridges. New!
Hampshire Republican, demanded
an immediate protest by the United
States and the U.N.
Both Houses of Congress heard;
increasing demands that other;
members of the United Nation# send
in ground troops to share in the j
battle for Korea, which high army
quarters feared would be a long;
and bloody one.
There was deep foreboding over i
the possibility that the Korean war |
might spread elsewhere. The ap-1
pearance of Russian jet fighter I
planes on the battlefront, as well j
as reports that “volunteers" from
Russia and Communist China might'
enter the fray, added to the fore- j
boding. Washington gravely studied j
dispatches from Hong Kong re-;
porting a continued movement of j
Chinese Communist troops to Man
churia from Couth China.
With prosper'r ior a long strug
gle—some Washington sources said
it could take until fall to win back
South Korea—draft boards were
under instructions to fill a 20.000
man quota as soon as possible.
An administration decision on
whether to seek temporary control
over material, manpower, wages and i
the like, hinged on how long the j
Koreans fight might last and what i
Russia’s intentions are in the imme- j
diate future.
The United States already has j
begun drawing on its mothball fleets |
of planes and ships for use in the i
Korean conflhi. Big bombers are!
being taken out of storage to be
made ready and cargo ships have
been chartered.
