The Senate rebuffed the Eisenhower administration and its own leaders Thursday night as It voted repeal of the World War II transportation taxes despite pleas that such action might open the way to cuts elsewhere.

Sen. Charles E. Potter (R-Mich) pressed ahead with another proposal for cutting the automobile excise tax, while Sen. Paul H. Douglas ID-Ill) said he planned another stab at reducing taxes on business.

The Senate was called into session an hour earlier than usual in an effort to complete action on these and other amendments to a House-passed bill to extend present corporation and major excise tax rates for a year beyond June 30. Both Republican leader William F. Knowland of California and Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas opposed the amendments to repeal the 3 per cent freight tax and the 10 per cent levy on passenger tickets. The amendment erasing the freight levy was adopted 59-25, with 33 Democrats and 26 Republicans joining forces to write it into the bill.

Voting against it were 10 Democrats and 15 Republicans.

MILKS MOSCOW (AP) The Soviet Communist party today announced another step in Premier Khrushchev's plans to beat U.S. agricultural production by giving Russian farmers more incentive to grow more. The party's Central Committee announced collective farms no longer will be required to deliver large part of their output to the government at a fixed low price.

Instead, a new pricing system will be established for the entire output of collective farms. It aims to introduce an element of competition for low cost, efficient production. A report on the Central Committee meeting of about 250 members on Tuesday and Wednesday also said two men were promoted to alternate membership in the committee's ruling Presidium, the key unit of power in Russia. It has had 15 full members and 9 alternates. The two are N.V.

Podgorny, first secretary of the Ukranian Communist party, and Premier D. S. Poliansky of the Russian Federation, largest republic in the Soviet Union.

William O'Neill told members the New Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce and numerous distinguished guests last night when the Chamber honored the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District on its 25th anniversary. Gov. O'Neill, main speaker on the program held at the Elks auditorium with nearly 400 present, also called attention to Ohio's rapid growth, its "healthful" climate for new industry, Its plans for a state network of freeways and through highways and to an education program he will present to the Ohio Legislature next week.

Corps of Engineers, C. C. Chambers, consulting engineer and the original chief engineer and to the late Chief Engineer John S. Gena. Toastmaster Smith traced the history of the District, which was organized here June 3, 1933, and named the past and present officials of the district.
