Firm (Continued From Face One) furnishing transit service for the city." C. M. Shaw, president of the trolley drivers union, said that the union congratulated the employe group on its apparent success since it is the only contender left. ELECTION PLANNED An election still has to be called with the public voting yes or no to accept the franchise proposal of Shreveport Transit Co. Shaw said, "we do not anticipate any difficulty in negotiating a contract with the new company, since the firm proposed a contract similar to the one proposed by American Transit Corp.

Members of the union agreed to accept American Transit's proposal, and then agreed to accept a similar proposal from the new company." Mayor Gardner said he was still not certain when the election on the franchise might be called. It cannot be held less than 30 days after the call. He said that he would be in a better position after today's meeting with the citizens committee to know when the election may be held. One of the principal features of the franchise proposals is the operating ratio clause, through which rates of fare are based on revenue and operating cost. The long negotiations on the proposals have been centered around the operating ratio clause.

One other firm submitted a proposal to the Council. St. John Transit Co. of Dayton, Ohio, made an original offer but was never in real contention for the franchise. His firm apparently dropped out of the running when the Council requested additional financial information and other statistics of all.

Since the establishment of the strategy-making joint chiefs organization in 1948, the chairmanship has been held by one Army officer Gen. Omar Bradley and one Naval officer Radford. ROTATION Secretary of Defense Wilson, answering a recent news conference question, said there was a "general understanding" that the chairmanship would be rotated among the services.

Twining has established a reputation of getting along with the other services without violent controversies such as shook the joint chiefs on some previous occasions. The white-thatched air general, native of Monroe, held top commands in both the Mediterranean and Pacific duirng World War II. He was appointed vice chief of air in 1950, then moved up when the late Gen. Hoyt Vandenberg retired. Quarles' nomination for the job second to Wilson's produced speculation along two lines: 1.

That Eisenhower might be moving him up the ladder to succeed Wilson when the latter moves out. Wilson has said he hasn't made up his mind about quitting. OR END OF LINE 2. That the deputy secretaryship is the end of the line for Quarles' rise in the Pentagon hierarchy. Those inclined to this idea point out that with one exception all Defense secretaries have been picked from outside rather than promoted to the job.

The exception was Robert Lovett, who moved up from the deputyship to succeed George C. Marshall in the Truman administration. On the other hand, Quarles has had considerable governmental experience, both in semi-official and official positions. He was president of Sandia a Western Electric subsidiary which operated the Albuquerque, N.M. laboratory for the Atomic Energy Commission.

In 1953 he was appointed assistant secretary of defense for research and development. In August 1955, Eisenhower named Quarles as secretary of the Air Force. Douglas, born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, has been undersecretary of air since the outset of the Eisen hower administration. S. Ark.

"Though it has no intention of attacking anyone," Bulganin said, "the Soviet Union would in response to aggressive actions against it be forced to the most energetic measures to liquidate immediately bases built for ag gression. "It is not difficult to imagine the immense danger to which Norway exposes herself by letting her territory be explored by aggres sive circles of certain great powers," Bulganin said.

A Norwegian spokesman said the letter was "under con sideration" and would be answered in due time." There was no further comment. Bulganin said the world came very close to another war during the Anglo-French invasion of Egypt last November. "It is no secret that for some days in November last year we all faced a serious threat of war," he said. The tension, he said, "still pre vails." Tax Slashes Rumored in Washington (Continued From Page One) Rayburn of Texas and other Democratic leaders. Should such a proposal materialize, individuals might get a 10 per cent tax cut.

Business also would benefit six months later. A bill now before the Senate would extend present corporation income taxes and excise levies until June 30, 1958, when they would drop automatically unless Congress decided otherwise. Senate Republicans have been generally agreed that tax cuts should be withheld until there are specific indications of a sizable treasury surplus. This thinking was reflected anew in the resolution adopted by today's conference of House Repub licans. The resolution pledges the GOP members to the goals of balancing the budget, making a payment on the national debt and cutting taxes as soon as possible.

"A sharp reduction is essential in the high level of federal government spending," the resolution said. It called for "a determined crusade of economy in all branches" of the government. The House two weeks ago passed a non-binding resolution asking Eisenhower to make specific recommendations on where his budget would be cut. Eisenhower said then that he was willing to cooperate with Con gress in every way possible, but that the legislators now have primary responsibility for any budget reductions. if 5 A i.ft.iW..
