Plan Amendment To Cut Recovery Fund Revisionists in Senate Plan Move Washington, Mar. li — tUP) — Senate “revisionists” planned today to introduce an amendment to lop $1.3 billion off the European recovery program. They were promised the support of chairman Robert A. Taft, R., 0., of the senate Republican policy committee and GOP whip Kenneth S. Wherry of Nebreska.

The recent communist activity in Czechoslovakia and the red threat in Italy appeared to have weakened support for the economy move. While the senate continued debate on ERP, the house considered the treasury-post office appropriations bill. These were the developments: Taxes —After more than a week of open hearings, the senate finance committee met behind closed doors to shape a tax bill. Indications were that the group would trim the house-approved $6.5 billion bill to between $4.5 and $5 billion. The committee appeared certain to approve a house provision boosting personal exemptions by SIOO.

Miss Mazelin's brother, Dave, has for a number of years corresponded with Arthur C. Page, associate editor of Prairie Farmer, who conducts the dinner bell hour. On the program, Page told the audience how the letters of Dave Mazelin, who is an invalid, had contributed to the character and philosophy of his correspondent, and spoke to Miss Mazelin about him on the air, questioning her also about her work and her visit in Chicago.

Mr. Page, however, endured a moment of heckling by the studio orchestra when he described the tempting home-made apple pie Miss Mazelin had brought him.
