Europe's Fate Now Held Job For Congress

Stalin Expected To Move Swiftl

nands of Congress, according to diplomats who listened to President Truman's speech before the joint session here yesterday. These experts predict that from now on things will move rapidly. if Congress backs down, now {hat the President has laid his cards face-up on the table, Stalin will take it as “proof” of the West's weakness and will order his steamroller forward. Europe’s foreign offices, according to advices just received, fear that Stalin is getting ready to march anyway. All the way from # Finland and Norway to Italy, Greece and Turkey the signs are that Moscow may rush matters before the Marshall Pian or the five-power security pact signed at Brussels yesterday can be implemented. . Depends on, U. 8. Of and by themselves, the Brussels powers-—Britain, France, Felgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg-—cannot hope to stop Russia if" Russia decies to use force. Nor do they expect many adherents to the pact unless and until the United States commits itself definitely to their support. As matters nd, Europe is being systematically terrified by Russia.

51 GOP Senators Back Up Tax Cut

‘WASHINGTON, Mar. 18 (UP) Debate on income. tax uction gets under way in the Senate today with Republican leaders confident of mustering a vetovoiding majority for their $4.8 billion bill. Sponsors of the measure claimed they had all but two of the 51 GOP Seénators lined up to vote for a tax cut. And they predicted they would get at least the minimum of 14 Democratic votes they need to override a presidential veto. Chairman Eugene D. Millikin| (R. Colo.) of the Senate Finance Committee which drafted the tax| bill, said he looks 'for passage to- | morrow or early next week. The House has passed a $6.5]

billion tax cut bill. But House| leaders were said to be willing to accept a cut of $4.8 billion in order to win over the Democratic) votes needed in the event of a| veto. Both bills would increase per-| sonal exemptions by $100 and extend community property incomesplitting privileges to all states. In addition. the House measure calls for percentage cuts ranging | from 10 to 30 per cent. The Sen- | ate committee's bill would limit| the cuts to from 5 to 12.6 per cent.

Tobey Standing Pat

On Senate Rent Bill Sen. Charles W. Tobey (R. N.! H.), chairman of the Senate con-| ferees on the rent bill, said the) group would insist that the Fed-| eral Rent Administrator in Washington be given the last word on! decontrol. | The Senate rent control bill gives the federal government veto power over local rent boards. But the House version includes a “home rule” clause that would permit the local boards to de-| cide what is best for their re-| spective areas. The House-Senate .jconference committee will endeav-| or to settle the dispute.
