Senate Cohn-Schinp Cose Probe fo Be Donr.ybrooL?
Capitol Hill Demos Still Hope for Income- Tax Cut
, ' - -
Spct ial to Central Press VyrASHINGTON—Tiit- lorthcormn ■ Senate investigation of the TV Cohn-.^-hine case is expected to dwarf any other inquiry in lecent y**ars in interest and excitement. Within the past 10 years, there have been the Pearl Harbor, Howard Hughes and Douglas Mae* Arthur hearings. Each of these involved personalities, but the threat of tough, bare-knuckle battling was not present. What sets the new inquiry apart is the appearance, both as a member of his investigations subcommittee and as one of Uie accused, of Senator Joseph R. McCarthy (R). Wisconsin. Anayed against McCarthy, his chief counsel, Roy Cohn, and hu subcommittee’s ex-chief consultant, P\t. (J. David Schine, ?s the Army, from Secretaiy Robert T. Stevens and Chief of Statf (Ten. Matthew Ridgway down through the officer corps. The sparring so far has been confined to charges and counter-charges of “blackmail,” “falsehoods,” and other relatively temperate terms. The real slugging will start when the hearing gets underway.

• TAXES—Democrats on Capitol Hill aay they may still win the last round in the battle over In-
creasing individual tax exemptions. President Eisenhower scored a narrow 410 to 404 victory when the House rejected a Democratic proposal to boost the exemptions from the present $600 to $700. However, there appears a good possibility that the Senate may •dopt a proposal by influential Senator Walter F. George (D), Georgia, for a $200 boost in exemptions, raising it to $800. If that is done, the matter would then be threshed out by a House-Senate conference committee. Under normal compromise procedure, when both sides adhere to their own positions, the conferees might recommend a $100
boost, subject to House and Senate approval.
There are indications that some House members voted against the rise in exemptions with the expectation they would get another crack at it. In that event, with the November election even closer, the House might wed approve the $100 boost it has already rejected.
• STEEL—Informed labor sources predict there will be no steel strike this year. They forecast, however, a prolonged and rugged stiuggie in the negotiations between the CIO Steelworkers union and the steel companies. The talks are expected to begin in May for a new Work contract to replace the one expiring July 1. This was the two-year contract that emerged from the prolonged steel strike of the summer of 1952. David McDonald, who succee • d the late Philip Murray as president of the steelworkers \vi 1 r n-gotiating his first contract. Much has ! been said about the feud 1 tw< n McDonald and CIO President W’alter ; Reuther, who is also president of the auto workers
j union.
Because of this rivalry, McDonald is sure to hammer hard for a be* f from the steel comj panies than Reu ;* r . *c m getting from the
auto companies last year.
Labor sources think he may ask for a 15 cents an hour wage Increase, plus a wide raxge ct f: u- 1 'ills. In fact. McDonald likely ‘.vill present again the steelworkers’ old 22 demands. He may settle for a wage increase of s^ n c ts an hour. That, it appears, is about
is much as he can get.
Probability also is tha f V. r ’ ’ will fiie the first big gun In th* CIO battla for a guarant**. 1 *u.;. .ad wage, thus getting the Jump oft
Reuther in this respect*.

At his second turn he made the good bid of two hearts. Since he had never passed and since this was a new suit, the bid was absolutely forcing. Mr. Meek v-ould hardly be in a position to rui^e hearts because, with a heart holding good enough for that, he would have bid one heart over one diamond. MEEK PLAT’S WELL Mr. Champion was willing to play game on the hand but he saw no feasor to barge into no trump himself when for all lie knew tiie defenders might be :ble to run five spade tricks. His two-heart bid was the best way to find out whether the hand belonged in three no trump or • ve diamonds. The bid brought Mr. Meek to life and he chose the no trump spot. As usual. Mr. Meek played well. In spite r/f the flub opening bid Mr. Dale led the seven of that mt. Mrs. Keen won with the ace ind returned the ten. There was a trap at this point but Mr. Meek avoided it. If* did not cover but followed suit with the six spot On came another lub and be played the jack. Mr. Dale won with the king and, seeing that the suit was now dead hifted to a low heaTt. STRATEGY PAYS OFF Mr. Meek won with dummy’s ace, came to his hand with a spade and took the diamond finesse. This lost to the king but the rest of the tricks were his. Jf he had made the naturallooking play of covering the ten of clubs at trick two, he would have lost tl* hand. Mr. Dale •v »uld have played low to leave a club in his partner’s hand. When the diamond finesse lost, Mrs. Keen would have led her last •lub and M• Dale would have lattled off three more tricks in tnat suit to put the contract down one.
