Taft Ohio), get a report tomorrow on the grass- rools survey he has said will guide him in deciding whether to try for the Republican presidential nomination. But an aidr said tonight the senator will not announce his intentions tomorrow. The statement that Taft will keep silent was made by Jack Martin, the senator's administrative assistant. It came after announcements from Taft's office had set off confident speculation that a formal statement of candidacy was imminent.

The bolsters for that speculation: (1) A report that Taft received more than 150 messages from Republicans all over the country urging him to run. (2) Word that the senator will confer tomorrow with David Ingalls and Ben Tate. who have been making the nation-wide survey on his behalf, and that Ingalls and Tate will Issue a statement later. But Martin told a reporter thr statement by the two men will deal only with the findings made in their study. "The senator will not in any way indicate his decision tomorrow." Martin said.

SPEECHCR AFT COURSE WILL BEGIN OCTOBER 23 James P. Finnegan told a house inquiry committee today that his own income tax payments fell $2,444 short during a three year period of his job as federal tax collector at St.

Lours. Deficiency assessments for that amount were levied agains! him by the internal revenue of fice in Chicago, he said, for 1947' 4849 when he was making more than $30,000 a year practicing law while holding the post of collector. Finnegan, who is under grand jury as well as congressional investigation, said earlier he had tried to quit the collector's--job three times to ote all his time to law, but that President Truman and others had talked him out of it. He supplied income tax figures that showed his law work brought him $36,783 gross in 1947, 530,867 in 1948 and $37,406 in 1949. Finnegan's tax return for 1949 showed deductions of $4,681 for entertainment, $3.093 for transportation and $3,212 for hotel bills.

Representative Curtis (R Neb.) commented: "To a country lawyer like me, those expenses are a surprise." Finnegan, who served from 1944 until last April, told a house investigating that he wasn't particularly interested in the 510.000 collector's salary and spent only three or four hours a day on the job. He said he was making more Inoney practicing law. He tried first to quit in 1949. he said, and went so far as to telephone the "Little White House" in Key West, Fla, where Mr. Truman was vacationing.

The last time, he said, was in October, 1950, but he was advised to remain in office after talking with Presidential Secretary Matthew Connelly and "also the president of the United States." He explained: "They weren't in a position to appoint a successor at the time and asked me to on." Finnegan witness before a house ways and means subcommittee investigating reports of widespread irregu'arities in federal tax collection offices. A federal grand jury is looking into his handling of the St. Louis office. Intelligence agents for the internal revenue bureau lave told the house group that Finnegan or his family received $6,193 from a St. Louis insurance firm which the agents said specialized in business with people who were in trouble with Jie collector's office.

Finnegan said the money was "or legal fees. He said that when he took the job, starting at $7,500 a year--he was assured by Robert Hannegan, then internal revenue commissioner and later i Democratic national chairman, hat it would be all right to continue his law practice. Finnegan actually did resign April 4 of this year. He had been mentioned. the month be- bre in the senate investigation of charges of improper influence on the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, but said his ion had nothing to do wiifc that The senate RFC investigators had suggested that the internal revenue bureau look into his activities.

Bill Delayed In Senate a Week Be caunff Committee Approved It Without a Quorum. Jefferson City, Oct. kpy bill to increase bus and truck fees bumped into a week's delay in the Missouri senate today. Here's how it got tangled up and was finally untangled late this afternoon: 1. Senator Arkley W.

Frieze of Carthage objected that the bill to hike truck fees from about $4.000,000 to $12,000,000 a uas not legally before the senate. He charged a quorum of the senate roads and highways committee had not approved it. 2. Senator Michael Kinney of St. Louis, highway chairman, admitted only five of the 11 committee members were present week when the bill was voted out.

Sent Back to Committee. 3. So Lieutenant Governor James T. Blair, ruled the bill had been properly before the senate. It was sent back to Kinney's committee.

4. The- committee --called special meeting and approvec the bill again, this time by a to 0 otc--a clear quorum. The upshot of the confusion-the bill can't be considered am more this ueek. Several senators said they couldn't be here tomor row. So Kinney agreed not to call it up again until the first of next week.

A companion bill to change Public Service Commission truck regulations was found to be in the same fix. It had to go through the same routine. The committee also approved bills setting a 50-mile-an-hour speed limit on trucks and busses and making Missouri traffic safety rules conform with other states. A similar bill to standardize driving signals has been ed in the house. All the bills are part of the administration's program to get more money for highways and modernize Missouri road laws.

As soon as it acts on the controversial truck fee bill, the senate faces action on a bill to increase the state gasoline tax from two to three cents. That one already has passed the house. But the house passed a truck bill raising fees only slightly. The senate committee version is a substitute for that with a whole new schedule of fees.

Raise the annual registration fee for medical doctors from SI to S5 a year and boost the examination fee from $15 to $25. The senate declined to go along with the house in extending Senator Anthony-M. Webbe's Third street trafficway exemption bill another two years. Webbe said residents of the St. Louis area should be allowed an extra two years to find places to live.

But the senate voted him down and Webbe sought to keep the bill alive by trying to get it into a house-senate conference committee. He conceded that without the house amendment for a two-year extension his bill was as good as dead.

SENATE KILLS WO TRUMANNOMINATIONS Judpeship Appointees Rejected Fight Was Led by Douglas.

Washington, Oct. senate took two of President Truman's federal judgeship nominations out of pigeonhole today and killed them outright. The action made sure that Mr. Truman could not put his selections, Cornelius J. Harrington and Joseph H.

Drucker of Illinois, on the bench while congress was not in session. In another 'judiciary develop ment, the senate voted to create 19 new federal judgeships after giving Senator McKellar (D. Tenn.) a 60 to 19 vote of approval in his feud with Senator Kefauver Tenn.) over a judgeship in their state. None Support Nominees. Senator Douglas 111.) led the fight on Mr.

Truman's Illi nois nominations, because the president picked Harrington and Drucker over men recommended by Douglas. On the voice vote of rejection, no one was heard to support the president's choices. Before today's vote, the senate judiciary committee had pigeonholed the nominations. Had nothing more been done, Mr. Truman would have been free to give them interim appointments after congress adjourned, if he wanted to.

The bill creating the new judgeships--three on circuit courts of appeal and 16 on district courts plus four temporary district court positions--was passed on a vote and now goes to the louse for action. Nearly all the debate was on vhether to make a new temporary district judgeship in Tennessee apply only to the middle section of the state, or to have the judge rove between middle and west Tennessee. McKellar wanted to create a judgeship for middle Tennessee alone while Kefauver said there wasn't enough court work to justify that. Politics Charged. The 82-year-old McKellar ac- EARL COLLINS NOMINATED FOB KIWANIS LEADER (Continued from page 1) -used Kefauver bitterly of play- ng politics.

He said the junior senator has been "running all over the state" trying to drum up support for his plan of a roving judgeship "since he found himself without a leg to stand on." Twenty-five other Democrats and 34 Republicans voted with McKellar; 15 other Democrats and three Republicans sided with Kefauver. The bill provides for two more judgeships in the Ninth circuit court of appeals (far west) and one in the Filth circuit (southeast). It creates new district judgeships in southern California. Colorado, Delaware, southern Florida, a roving assignment in north- em and southern Indiana. Ne come when America decides to take itself seriously and when we realize that government is not by resolution but by evolution." Gist declared.

Many necessary changes in the people's present channel of thinking were described by the speaker. Referring to the possibility of a warless world, Gist said: "A warless world of the future is not impossible. But any universal peace will be under the leadership of the United States and Great Britain." Former Editor. The New Yorker, a former newspaper editor and a member of the staff of Grit for more than 30 years, explained that leadership must be supplied by these two nations because it could not be expected of Russia and the lowland countries of Europe. He urged the preservation of democracy, warning that if democracy ever went under in the United States, the entire world would be lost.
