The bill calls for an 11 percent boost in income taxes for most persons.

Seven others were reported injured. A deputy sheriff said buildings were crushed "like matchboxes." Property Loss Not Estimated Splintered barns, sheds, silos and homes lined the paths of the tornadoes in Wisconsin. but there could be no accurate esti mate of the heavy loss. Nor was there a count of the numerous livestock killed. The whirling cloud columns, which capped a day of general- rain and high winds in the state, fortunately skirted small towns in the regions.

Howard Rasmussen, 35, his wife, Irene, and their children, Robert, 5. and Betty, 2, were cleaning chickens in their farm yard in the town of Waupaca when the tornado roared down on them. Their bodies were found in a swamp a quarter mile away. Rasmussen lather, William, 65, was in the basement. He was struck on the head by a timber as the house collapsed around him.

He died four hours later at a Waupaca hospital. The other Waupaca county vic tim was Mrs. Frances Melliet of the town of Lebanon. She and her two children were swept away whenMhe tornado leveled their farm home. Mrs.

Melliet was found dead in a field. The children were in a nearby ditch. badly frightened but not seriously hurt. Rain Blacks Out runnel Mrs. Alice McGuire, 32, was killed when the twister swooped down on her Columbia county farm home four miles west of Randolph.

Her three children, ages two, three and four, were not seriously hurt. One viewer of the wrecked McGuire house said it was reduced to "kindling wood." The Columbia county tornado was preceded by rain but bunding ram accompanied the Waupaca county twister and, as a result, many witnesses said they could not see the funnel-shaped cloud. What they did see was a "terrifying black cloud, spewing aeons ahead of it and roaring like a freight train." Both tornadoes swept out of the Southwest and passed in a north-easterly direction. In Waupaca county the tornado hopped and skipped across a line 20 miles long and about one-quarter of a mile wide. To the south the spiraling cloud finger touched at Intervals on a 15-mile path 100 yards wide on the average.

Mr. Truman said he would favor including "the principle that National party officials and employes be among those persons required to file annual statements." The president's own party chairman, William M. Boyle, was before the senate's Investigating subcommittee at the moment. Specifically, the president recommended to congress the prompt enactment of a law which will require all full-time civilian presidential appointees, include members of the federal bench; all elected officers of the federal government, including members of the congress; and all other top officials and employes of the three branches of the government say those receiving salaries of $10..

The president declared the statements should be accessible to the public, asserting it would "help to prevent illegal or Improper conduct, and at the same time protect government officers from unfounded suspicions." He praised the honesty of the vast majority of federal em- ployes and the service they are rendering, but added: "The disclosure of current outside income, however, will strike at the danger of gifts or other inducements made for the purpose of influencing officlarac-tion, and at the danger of out- Uide interests, affecting public decisions.

LONDON (AP) A message from President Truman was rushed to Prime Minister Attlee today as the Iranian oil crisis boiled to ominous proportions. Indications were that Britain and the United States might appeal directly to the oung. Shah of Iran to repeal an order expelling British technicians from the Abadan oil refinery, in a last-ditch attempt to prevent a Mid dle East explosion. Moscow dispatches said the Soviet Union was watching the Iranian developments closely. The Russians have a treaty with Iran providing for Soviet inter vention In the case of foreign invasion.

With Iran's forces in Khuzistan province, site of the Abadan refinery, placed on an alert, "rumors that the British might land forces brought Nationalist tempers in Tehran to a fever pitch.

"The significance of this is obvious," the statement said. "The Reds at the present time are responsible for the calling off of the truce talks. Such a turn of events does not help their so-called 'peace which has been going on for many months now. "Consequently, if the talks are resumed on their terms, the Communists may be planning to force on the delegates the endless questions of neutrality and violations and all other matters that have nothing to do with a cease-fire itself. In such a manner they may hope to bring the UN command delegates to the point where they would break off the talks out of the sheer frustration and futility of not being able to get down to the substantive items of the agenda.

"It is. fairly obvious," the release said, "that the most log. ical proposal to put an end to the difficulties surrounding the Kaesong site were put forth in a suggestion to the Communists by General Rldgway when he stressed the advisability of a change in the conference site itself. The resumption of talks cannot proceed without more adequate safeguards than have been offered at Kaesong to date." The site Rldgway proposed Is near the village of Songhyon, six miles southeast of Kaesong. Ridgway said the new site should be kept free of armed troops.

He also suggested that delegates resume discussion on the location of a military buffer zone across the Korean peninsula. This was the subject that tied up the truce talks for weeks before the Reds broke them off Aug. 23. The allied commander told the top Red commanders that talks could be resumed immediately If they agreed. There was no quick reaction from Red officials.

A Communist correspondent predicted they would reject the proposals.
