TWELVE THE EVENING INDEPENDENT. MASSILLON. OHIO MONDAY, APRIL 7, 1947 Congress Will Cut Both Taxes, Spending, Says Taft Fires Back At Truman WASHINGTON, Taft of Ohio declared today that the Republican-controlled congress will disregard President Truman's "political timing" and cut both taxes and government expenses this year. Taft, who heads the senate Republican policy committee, told a reporter he regards as a "purely political statement" the president's assertion in his Saturday night Jefferson Day address that the Republicans are headed toward "false "THE PRESIDENT'S budget will be cut," Taft said. "Estimated revenues are going to be larger.

Taxes can be cut and a large surplus left to apply on the debt, for which the Democrats are suddenly much concerned after 14 years." "If we don't cut taxes now," the Ohio senator continued, "the spenders will soon find new ways to spend and spend and elect and elect." Mr. Truman told his audience of Democratic party members he recognizes frankly that the present tax burden is too heavy to be considered permanent, adding: "At a proper time I will support tax reductions and tax designed to reduce the burden and to adjust the burden to the needs of a.peactime economy." TAFT SAID this statement indicates to him that Mr. Truman has "political timing" in mind. "The president says he recog; nizes that the present tax burden is' too the people in congress must wait until he says the proper time has arrived to cut taxes. Presumably, that will be just before the 1948 campaign when he is running for reelection.

Next in popularity were probably the sweet-scented gardenias and the fragile white and purple orchids.

Many lovely corsages were also made of violets and spring flowers. MANY TINY moppets, also decked out in Easter finery, wore replicas of Mama's corsage. Pretty tiny corsages made of carnations and small arrangements of other flowers were proudly worn by the little misses. Something a little unique in the "corsage" line was received by one excited bride-to-be, who after a query as to what kind of flowers she had received, said "Oh, he got me the most beautiful mixer with juicer and everything for Easter." It wasn't a mixup, either, that young man is just looking to the future. If members of Massillon's fair sex were a little more primped and prettied than the men it was because the ladies have been fortunate in having racks and racks of new spring finery from which to select their Easter outfits while the men had to be content with what little is available in their line, or wear last year's suits.

Although many men, women and ijhildren braved the wind to join the Easter parade, those less brave climbed into the shelter of their automobiles and drove leisurely through the beautifully budding country. IT WAS a fine day for riding as the constant stream of automobiles with Sunday drivers behind the wheels in no hurry to go anywhere in particular, evidenced. However, driving called for steady hands on the wheel as the whistling winds racked the cars from one side to another. It was reported this morning at the Massillon Noble airfield that the wind traveled from 40 to 42 miles per hour, with gusts reaching a velocity of up to 65 miles per hour. All in all and regardless of the wind, it was a beautiful Easter day and thpse who observed the weather this morning (faint signs of snow) arc even more thankful that Easter was yesterday, wind or no wind.

pact of the strike. They requested that subscribers refrain from making any telephone calls which require services of an operator except in emergency. This, they said, applies to calls to "long distance" and "information," calls to the business office and local calls handled by operators. "Every effort is being made to complete emergency calls, and the cooperation of the public in restricting usage of the telephone will be greatly appreciated," S. A.

Brickley, Ohio Bell comercial manager said. "We regret the oc- Curence of the strike and are continuing negotiations with the union in an effort to get things settled." i -1; -fc LOCAL REPAIRMEN, incidentally, were kept busy Sunday repairing a number of scattered minor breaks in service caused by the strong wind and were able to make all the repairs before the strike started. Sign-carrying pickets paced in front of headquarters of the telephone company at Columbus today. Homer E. Smart, Columbus district commercial manager, said there were signs that the strike was progressing uniformly throughout the state.

Smart Said that it might be necessary for Columbus supervisory em- ployes to handle all traffic on a normal basis for an hour or two after the deadline, but that as soon as "business picks up, we will accept long distance calls only on an emergency basis." The peak periods of the day for long distance calls, Smart said were 9:30 a. m. to noon and 1 to 3 p. m. Smart said 50 Columbus em- ployes of the 130 who would ordinarily be scheduled to go to work at 8 a.

m. showed up this morning despite the strike. OUTSIDE, an orderly picket line, including both men and women, marched up and down, carrying terse signs: "on strike." some signs listed the striking organizations. Smart said 1,000 employes in Columbus would be affected by the strike. Columbus and its suburban communities all are on the dial system.

Besides Ohio Bell, the Cincinnati Suburban Bell Telephone Co. a Bell affiliate, and the Citizens Telephone serving northern Kentucky communities across the Ohio river from the Queen City, were forced to limit service when more than 2,500 operators, maintenance and other workers quit their jobs promptly at 6 o'clock. Cincinnati proper was not materially affected on local calls, since 90 per cent of its telephones are dial operated, but lonn distance lines were opened only for emergency calls.

28 for treatment of chronic illncsi. places of worship. DESPITE A WARM temperature and a bright, sunny sky, there was little in the way of an Easter parade here Snuday afternoon because of the wind. Fairly extensive minor scattered damage was experienced by both the Ohio Bell Telephone Co. and the Ohio Public Service but it was repaired in short order.

Em- ployes of the telephone company were able to repair all breaks in phone service before the nationwide telephone strike started early today. Despite the wind, the temperature here ranged well above 60 until yesterday evening. A high of 68 was recorded at 4 p. m. and it was not until 8 p.

m. that mercury in thermometers here fell below 60. THROUGHTOUT THE night the temperature dropped steadily, hitting a low of 36 at 10 a. m. today.

The wind diminished considerably during the night. Another cold spell was promised Ohioans today by the weatherman but his prediction did not indicate that the temperature would drop below freezing. Cloudy weather was forecast for the northern part of the state today and tonight but sunny weather was seen for Tuesday. Various damage was caused in many communities of Ohio by yesterday's winds. At Cincinnati a residence was unroofed and its chimney toppled into the living room.

In Cleveland, the wind shattered a few store windows including a window in the Higbee Co. store in the Terminal building. In Columbus, the storm scattered shingles from roofs of homes and damaged trees. Electricity in one section of suburban Bexley was cut off by a broken high tension line.

Miners Stay Out Of Pits PITTSBURGH, (AP) Thousands of the nation's coal miners, demanding that their mines be made safe, remained idle today following elapse of the six-day mourning period they observed for the Centralia, 111., mine tragedy. Some mines were operating in Pennsylvania and West Virginia, but all eastern Ohio pits were reported closed. Early reports did not estimate the portion of the 400,000 soft coal diggers who con tinued the work stoppage. The Solid Fuels Administration office in Altoona, announced that some mines in the big central Pennsylvania field were closed, but that these included pits which "don't operate anyway on Easter Monday." A NAVY spokesman at Pill.s- burgh reported that a "good many" mines in his area were working, including "some which had been declared The latter 1 were certified as safe after corrective steps were taken. "Only a few" mines in the northern field of West Virginia were reported working.

Among the eastern Ohio mines staying closed were two at St. Clairsville which were certified as safe by a federal nu'ne inspector yesterday. Early reports from West Virginia indicated that at least 600 miners returned to work in three pits in the north of the state. Preliminary estimates showed 10,000 of Alabama's 20,000 miners working. THE FIRST effect of the prolonged mine work stoppage on coal-department industries was reported in Pittsburgh where the 3.
