TUESDAY, APRIL 6, 1954 BLYTHEVILLE (ARK.) COURIER NEWS PAGE FIVE Kerr Thinks Senate Will Okay Income Tax Exemption Increase By JOE HALL WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. Kerr (D-Okla) said today his guess is that the Senate will approve a move he co-sponsors to cut income taxes by increasing personal exemptions of each taxpayer and dependent. He said in an interview he hopes mtH this action will be taken in the Sen- Commodity And Stock Markets- ate Finance Committee but that, if it is not done there, he believes success will come on the Senate floor. The Finance committee, on which the Oklahoman serves, opens i hearings today on a big tax bill to which Democrats hope to attach the income tax reduction. The Eisenhower administration strongly supports the revision bill, which would make assorted tax cute totaling $1,400,000 to business and individuals in its first year of operation.

Just as strongly it opposes any new income tax slash. Senate Republican leaders voice confidence they can beat the income tax cut as things stand now, citing indications that the business downturn is leveling off. Democratic sponsors say it is too early to tell about the economic situation. Trend to Decide Both sides agree that the economic trend of the next two months probably will determine the outcome of the income tax fight in the Senate. The Finance Committee plans to end its public hearings April 23 and finish writing its version of the bill in May.

It could be June before floor debate is finished. Democrats have used the business decline as their principal argument for the income tax cut. They gay efforts should be made to build up mass purchasing power instead of increasing incentives for business expansion, which the administration says is a main purpose of the revision bill. Kerr is a co-sponsor with Sen. George (D-Ga) and Frear (D-Del) of an amendment to raise income tax exemptions by $200 this year, a 4 1 2 -billion-dollar tax cut, and by $400 in $955 and thereafter, an eight-billion reduction.

Kerr implied that smaller cuts would be pushed if the original plan were beaten. In the House, Democrats tried for a $100 exemption increase, a tax cut of 2V 2 billion. They lost 210-204 in a vote which largely followed party lines. INDUSTRY (Continued from Page 1) ton, Jimmie Edwards, Frank Nelson- R. A.

Pierre du Pont, Head of Famed Family, Dies WILMINGTON, Del.

Pierre Samuel du Pont, dean of the famed chemical family and a major figure in the development of two of the world's largest industries, died last night. He was 84. Du Pont, who took an active part in the Du Pone empire even after his announced retirement in 1940, was stricken with a severe abdominal pain shortly after dinner at Longwood, his estate at nearby Kennett Square, Pa. Rushed to the Wilmington Memorial Hospital, Du Pont died of what physicians described as an aortic aneurysm (rupture of a main blood vessel). A younger brother, Irenee.

and his sister. Mrs. R. R. M.

Carpenter, were at his bedside. They are Du Font's only immediate survivors. Du Pont, who shunned publicity and seldom made public appearances, was a former president and board chairman of E. I. du Pont de Nemours Co.

He also served as president of General Motors Corp. for three years. Pierre was the great great grandson and namesake of a political refugee who fled to America from France in 1799. His father, Lammot du Pont, was a noted inventor and authority on explosives who founded one of the nation's first dynamite plants, the Repauno Chemical Co. near Gibbstown, N.

J. He was killed by explosion of nitroglycerin when Pierre was 14. Pierre then took over the leadership of the family ss the eldest of 11 children. A noted philanthropist who once built an $800,000 hospital in memory of his chauffeur, Du Pont was a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Shortly after his graduation in 1890 he collaborated with a cousin in developing the first successful Du Pout smokeless powder.

As the century-old powder company was about to pass into outside hands in 1902, Pierre du Pont and two cousins purchased the firm and organized the present corporation. Under Pierre du Pont the company expanded from powder into a varied field of chemical products. It developed nylon, which revolutionized women's hosiery, cellophane and some 1,000 other products. Du Font's sales exceeded billion dollars a year. Du Pont lived alone with servants at his Longwood estate after the death of his wife, the former Alice Belin of Scr'anton, in 1944.

They had no children. Funeral arrangements have not been announced.

Dulles told the Foreign Affairs Committee that the United States has made no commitments to send armed forces to Indochina. Pressed by newsmen later on whether this statement was intended to foreclose such a commitment in the future, he said: "I had better not comment." Rep. Morano (R-Conn) said one aim of Dulles' recent speeches warning against further Red encroachments was "to bluff the Chinese Communists."

Churchill and the late President Roosevelt set up the two-nation agency for development of the atomic bomb and agreed that neither would use atomic weapons against a third nation without the other's consent.
