John A. Love is expected to call for a 15 per cent cut in state income taxes of individuals in speech to a joint session of the legislature, probably Friday.

Although no announcement has come from the chief executive, an informed source said the 15 per cent, cut has been generally agreed upon by Republican leaders who have conferred with the new governor during the past week. It is probable Love will ask that other tax revisions be for a year before any action is taken. Included in this category are changes in state law to match up with more liberal deductions under the federal tax laws. House Speaker John Vanderhoof, R-Glenwood Springs and Majority Leader Ranger Rogers. R-Littleton, of the Senate agreed today the joint session will be held at 11 a.m.

his wife, Ann, his mother, Mrs. Mildred Love, and six other members of his family watched attentively. Also in the speakers area were Love's predecessor, Democratic Gov. and Mrs. Steve McNichols, and three other former goverhors, republican John C.

Vivian and Democrats Walter Johnson and Ed C. Johnson. The new chief. executive was given a standing ovation when he was escorted from the capitol to the speakers platform. A few minutes earlier, he and MeNichols met in the crowded entrance of the west hall of the capitol.

Sworn by Friend Love saw MeNichols standing about 15 feet away, walked over and extended his hand smiling. They shook and McNichols told the new governor "the best of Love was the last of 10 officjals elected last November to be sworn into office. The chief justice of the Colorado Supreme Court, Edward C.

Postoffice Rushed By Stamp Buyers The Fort Collins postoffice had an -season rush" Monday with a huge demand for both one-cent and fivecent stamps.

Long queues of stamp buyers stood in the postoffice lobby ing much of Monday, Postmaster Walter H. Wyss said the postoffice sold about 60,000 one-cent stamps and 59,350 five-centers. A normal day's sale is about 000 one-centers and 10,000 fivecent stamps. The sudden demand resulted from the increase in first-class letter postage from four to five cents which took effect Monday. Airmail rates rose from seven to eight cents.

Mr. Wyss said the office has a reserve supply of one-cent stamps on hand in coils to last until all additional supply, previously ordered, arrives. Although many first-class mail items with only four cents' postage were received in the postoffice Monday, Mr. Wyss said the volume was less than might have been expected. Letters bearing the four-cent blue "Statue of Lib- House Dems Vote To Enlarge Rules WASHINGTON (AP)- House Democrats voted today to enlarge the Rules Committee in a move to give liberals a one-vote margin of control.

The decision at a party caucus represented one step toward, vietory for President Kennedy who has contended the expansion is necessary to clear, the path for action on major segments of his program. But it still has to get through the House itself. The President appears to have a thin' margin there. The Democrats took no action on a demand by some liberals that the committee's power to block major legislation be curbed. Southern conservatives opposed what they called a move to pack the committee but were snowed under.

They will renew the fight Wednesday at the opening session of the 88th Congress. Republicans planned to consider the Rules Committee issue at party huddle later today. GOP leaders have announced their opposition to the increase and are expected to hold most Republican members, but not all, in line when the issue is settled finally, Liberal Dems Would Control The drive to increase the committee to 15 members was spearheaded by Kennedy and his House leaders. If it succeeds, the committee will be composed of 10 Democrats and five Republicans, with eight liberal Democrats nomfinally in control An increase this year would be permanent, thereby averting a renewal of the fight two years from now.

Tshombe Airs Blast Threat Leader Plans Wrecking Of Industries ELISABETHVILLE, Katanga (AP)-President Moise Tshombe returned to his palace today declaring, "My ministers and I were very busy in Kolwezi preparing demolition of all industries." He made a button-pushing gesture to illustrate his meaning. At about the same time, Union Miniere du Haut Katanga, the big mining combine, issued a statement at United Nations headquarters saying Katangan police have placed explosive charges at two vital installations a dam and a power station in Kolwezi, 150 miles north of this capital. Union Miniere appealed to "all responsible parties" to co-operate in measures to prevent damage to the installations. It said they furnish more than three-quarters of the total hydroelectric power of Katanga province.

Their destruction, it added, would be fatal to the economic life of Katanga. New Outbreak Reported In Leopoldville, meanwhile, reports were heard of new fighting in Kasai, another Congo province to the north and west of Katanga. Informed sources said this fighting had claimed the lives of nearly 400 Congolese and 2 Belgians, A U.N, spokesman said he had no knowledge of these reported troubles, and that the U.N. had in fact withdrawn its troops from one of the trouble spots in Kasai to help out in Katanga. Tshombe declared he had returned here to "see my people, who have suffered, and to share their suffering and danger Surrounded by a few of his ministers and civil servants, Tshombe told The Associated Press: "In spite of all the trouble and shed.

I am back." He looked tired, but relaxed. Tshombe would 1 not comment on the possibility of negotiation, but said, "My ministers and I were very busy in preparing demolition of all industries." "In that case (Congo Prime Minister Cyrille) Adoula, the U.N., or we will have lost everything," Tshombe said. Won't Negotiate Diplomatic sources here said the United Nations still had no intention of negotiating with Tshombe. The usually immaculate president wore a crumpled suit he said he had worn the last 10 days. "They have taken everything from me," he complained.

"I now depend on the charity of my people." Promised security so long as he did not create trouble, Tshombe drove to Elisabethville from a North Rhodesian airfield opposite Kipushi, a Katangan town 15 miles west of Elisabethville. He had flown to Kipushi from his emergency headquarters at Kolwezi, 150 miles northwest of Elisabethville. Tshombe was escorted by the Belgian consul to the residence of the Katangan police commissioner. Another Town Seized A Swedish U.N. drive in the north had tightened the military squeeze on Tshombe's tottering movement to maintain Katangan independence.

The Swedes occupied the rail town of Kaniama Monday without a fight. Tshombe told newsmen at the border airstrip that he was "going home" to his presidential palace. Tunisian U.N. troops who had been guarding that palace later, withdrew and were replaced by -TSHOMBE, P. 2, Col.

Priests Traveling On Trade Stamps ROME (AP)- Three Roman Catholic priests from the Denver area arrived in Rome today to start a 15-day religious pilgrimage financed through 1,131 books of supermarket trading stamps collected by their parishioners.

The three are the Rev. Robert Syrianey, his brother the Rev. Francis J. Syriany and the Rev. Leonard A.

Redelberger. Plane fares, hotel lodgings, meals and other expenses are being defrayed by the trading stamps. The stamps are estimated to represent $168,000 worth of supermarket purchases. The expedition stems from a re mark of Father Robert Syrianey three months ago while he was thun bing through a trading stamp catalogue in the rectory of his church at Lakewood, Colo. He noted plane trips listed among the premiums, and within earshot of several parishioners, jokingly said: "That's a good way to get to Rome.

The land is owned by Frank E. Widman of 512 East Myrtle Street.

The lease operator is Ted Susuras of Dacono, a and the drilling is being done by Mac Clinton.

The Fort Collins office sent supplies of one-cent. green stamps to the Loveland and Laporte postoffices, where the supplies were exhausted. Mr. Wyss said the comparatively few four cent letters received Monday and the large volume of new stamp orders was a demonstration of the public cooperation with the postoffice in making the change to higher postage rates.

He renewed a campaign promise for a series of trips to various parts the state with departmental representatives to. discuss programs directly with the people. He said these trips will begin the end of the legislative session which probably will be the latter part of April.

Love was given the oath of office by a friend of college days, Jus(tice Robert H. Me Williams of the Colorado Supreme Court, also a Republican. The governor's speech was the highlight of an outdoor inauguraItion held on the west steps of the capitol building in crisp, bright weather with patches of snow dotting the sweeping lawn. Love took over the office from Democratic Gov. Steve McNichols whom he defeated by 86,000 votes the Nov.

"But we cannot continue to expand government into every field that might seem desirable without ultimately paying the price of a change in our form of government.
