Schuman presented the assembly with a new compromise bill containing many of the original measures which the assembly weakened with amendments on its first reading last week. “The government will not accept any modifications,” Schuman •told the assembly. “It will stake its existence on this text.” Schuman indicated the new measure was a compromise between the government’s original tax and forced losn bill for raising $1,260,000,000, from which the assembly had cut $252,000,000. The government’s decision to press for a showdown with the national assembly on the tax issue was taken at An extraordini ary cabinet meeting this morning. The official journal meanwhile i published a list of heavy price increases in 64 categories of i

foods, goods and services decreed by the government. Coal went up 64 percent and automobiles 13 percent. Gas and electricity rates also were increased. The assembly revolt took what the government considers a serious turn last night when a coalition of communists, De Gaullists, conservatives and even some popular republicans defeated the government' 306 to 288 on a tax measure. The measure was an amendment to the “forced loan” income tax bill granting higher exemptions to taxpayers who suffered war damage to their property. o Arabs' Invasion Os Holy Land Reported British May Drop Mandate In April Jerusalem, Jan. 2 — (UP) - fc British authorities are seeking to give up the Palestine mandate in early April, six weeks ahead of schedule, reliable sources said today as reports from the north described the start of an Arab invasion of the Holy Land. A spokesman for the Hagana underground army said reinforcements have been rushed into the Sea of Galilee area to drive off 1 groups of foreign Arabs reportedly crossing the Syrian border in large numbers. Jews clashed with attackers described as Syrian Arabs at Genosar. near the Syrian border, yesterday. The engagement lasted four hours and at least one' Jew was killed. At least 200 Hagana militia I were sent into the Galilee area when police at a Jewish settlement said a large band of wellarmed Syrian Arabs were seen crossing the border last night. ' Other settlers claimed the Arabs were crossing into Pales- ' tine in increasing numbers and it was feared they were preparing »•©•••••••• 1 SPECIAL SALE Wind and Weather j LOTION j Helps guard skin against I roughness and chapping | from wind.

to start full scale attacks on isolated settlements. Twenty fivs bodies of Jews killed during the past week were being kept in the Jerusalem morgue because two attempts to reach the Jewish cemetery on Mount Scopus have been driven hack with casualties by Arab snipers. Authorities planned to send armored cars with the funeral procession to make sure the burials qre accomplished. The Jewish section of the old city went into its fourth day of an Arab siege with the inhabitants reported safe but low in food supplies. No convoys have been sent into the area since Tuesday because of Arab road blocks and threats to attack any Jewish vehicles attempting to make the run. Hagana forces attempted to blow up Arab outposts near the Damascus gate in Jerusalem this morning but were forced to retreat under fire from Arabs and police in a short battle. Two Arabs were slightly wounded in three bomb explosions at 11 a. m. Reliable reports said British authorities in Palestine are pressing the foreign office in London to speed up the transfer of power to the United Nations to the first week in April instead of May 15. o————— New York Has First Slaying This Year New York.

Last Os Escaped Convicts Caught Lost Os 12 Men Is Nabbed Early Today Canon City, Colo., Jan. 2. —(UP) ■—James B. Sherbondy, killer and the last of 12 convicts who escaped from the Colorado state penitentiary Tuesday night, was recaptured near here early today without a struggle, warden Roy Best announced. Sherbondy was captured after prison officials got a tip that he was “holed-up” near the George Smith ranch five miles from Canon City in the Park Center community. A posse of prison guards converged on the house, but Sherbondy had left when they arrived. The posse fanned out over the premises, however, and found Sherbondy. Best said • that both of Sherbondy’s legs were frozen. He was taken without a shot being fired. He was returned to the prison hospital this morning, Best said. Sherbondy 29, was serving a life Sentence for the murder of a deputy sheriff in 1937. Tuesday night he crashed out the north gate of the prison here with 11 other convicts, described by Best as “the prison’s most dangerous.” Within a few minutes prison . guards were searching the resiI dential area of Canon City, and six ’ of the men were captured and two slain within little more than 12 ’ hours. Three others were found . in a lonely ranch-house in the Harden Park area late Wednesday. pt In recent years annual flood losses in the United States have g exceeded $110,000,000. 1 /Vtw /Sensai/ona// v CRBHEmsm i jj? ut " BU ” f to-.-: ' 95 ‘ WuLfaMRM I 4-ouncn 3 i° r 3 Holthouse Drug Co, /Wdsjl I Ik To relieve miser- ■> rub throat, 2 — chest and back %/|CKS with comforting V Vapoßub i ; HALLMARK, ; 11 CARDS Wonderful Selection for all occassions.
