The Kansas City Star in a dispatch from Albuquerque, N. said today that Charles Binaggio was preparing to invest $200,000 in a pumice company operated by Wallace, brother-in-law of President Truman, at the time Binaggio was slain last April.

GREENE WASHINGTON, Nov. The grave turn of events in Korea cast a shadow of forboding over congress today and brought predictions that it may force the lawmakers to stand by over Christmas for any emergency. Behind closed doors, Secretary of State Acheson is reported to have told senators that mass onslaught of Chinese Communists Korea demands immediae decisions on the next moves in the Legislators raised such questions as these: 1. Whether General Douglas MacArthur should be authorized to bomb supply lines and Red troops massed behind the border in Manchuza. Some lawmakers advocated use of the atomic bomb.

2. Whether Chinese Nationalist troops from Formosa shall now be thrown into battle against the Chinese Communists. Europe Powder Keg Acheson is told the senate foreign relations committee in a two-hour session this forenoon, that grave as the situation is in Korea, it is no more serious than the danger in Europe. Chairman Connally said Acheson "especially emphasized the dangerous situation in Yugoslavia," where Marshall Tito has been under mounting pressure following his break with the Kremlin. Although overshadowed by events in- Korea series of important hometront tasues engaged congress on this second day of its "lame duck" session-that last session before the new 82nd congress meets on Jan.

3. In general, the legislative picture reflected a threat of a senate filibuster over the question of Hawaii statehood, increasing Reopposition to an administration tax bill, and an apparent reluctance to extend federal rent controls as requested by President Truman. South Stands Pat Southern Democrats obstensibly dropped any idea a full-scale filibuster on the statehood issue when they found their ranks split at a meeting today, but Senator Russell said there is "always a likelihood" an independ-1 ent filibuster on smaller scale. On the tax front, Republican leaders expressed doubt that the administration's call for an excess profits levy tapping corporations for $4,000,000,000 will win approval at this session. In the tax-drafting house ways and means committee, the strength of the opposition to the administration plan was shown in a preliminary vote.

With one Democrat absent, a motion to approve the administration plan for a 75 per cent levy on profits in excess of the 1946- 49 average resulted in a tie vote, 12 to 12. This decision, if it stood, would spell failure for the plan, but another vote is to be taken tomorrow.
