1651 Congressional. Actions Eased By: Ike's Stand By WARREN ROGERS JR. WASHINGTON () An Eisenhower-Dulles pledge to fight to the end against a United Nations seat for Red China Thursday headed off a congressional proposal for automatic withdrawal from the international organization in case it admits the Peiping regime. Sen. Knowland of California, the Republican leader who was spearheading the drive, softened, his proposal.

Lessened demands Knowland said the new proposal would be formally introduced as an amendment to the ZS million dollar foreign aid authorization bill when it comes up in the Senate later this month. He said it would have wide bipartisan backing. The proposed amendment, giving the President the opportunity to call the signals, is a far cry from Knowland first demands.

Still Powerful Cards The development came as Sec retary of State Dulles declared the United States still has powerful cards to play and that I do not believe Communist China is fact going to be seated." "I don't think there is going to be any American withdrawal from the U. N. or any occasion for it," Dulles told a news conference. The secretary spoke confidently and, like Eisenhower Wednesday, authorized reporters to quote him directly on the subject, which has been agitating Congress for a week.

He referred to a recent Red drive throughout the world to get signatures to a peace petition.

Judd and the committee's treasurer, Charles Edison, former gov ernor of New Jersey, telegraphed President Eisenhower that their goal of one million signatures had been reached. The committee described itself as completely bi-partisan. nice Min. 7 7 78 79 62 71 es 79 78 Max. Preeip.

Ike Program Slapped; Crop Supports Win WASHINGTON tf The Senate Agriculture Committee took an other slap at the Eisenhower farm program late Thursday by ordering mandatory government price supports on oats, barley, rye and grain sorghums, all important livestock feed crops. Reversed Decision Chairman Aiken (RVt) said the 8-7 vote reversed a decision earlier in the day that rejected the proposal offered by Sen. Humphry (D Minn) by a 9-6 margin. Aiken said the new proposal would require government supports on the four, feed crops at near the evel of supports on corn.

The committee previously had lined up 8-7 in favor of extending 90 per cent of parity supports on wheat, cotton, corn, rice and pea nuts tor another year. Contrary Wishes This would be contrary "to the flexible price support program ap proved by the House under urging of President Eisenhower and Secretary of Agriculture Benson. The House bill calls for supports rang ing from 82V4 to 90 per cent of parity." Aiken, who backs the flexible price support is confi dent that the Senate will reverse decisions by his committee and vote for flexible supports and most of the other Eisenhower Benson proposals just as the House did.

The union never has made public the exact terms of its Goodyear production employes average $2.08 an hour but a break down was not available on the differences between plants.

Gov. Paul Patterson said this action was taken in line with a previously announced intention to bring about increased efficiency and greater economy in its operations. He said the current organization was illogical and inefficient in that the commission was divided into three divisions, each of which maintains its own services and keeps its own records with resulting lack of consistency in policy among the divisions. Further, Governor Patterson said, the utility division administered programs which were properly the work of the other two divisions.

Groups Combined As reorganized, the assessment and utility properties and super- vision of the local property tax have been combined into the valuation division, with Commissioner Samuel B. Stewart in charge. The auditing and collection of personal income, corporate excise, amusement device and timber severance taxes, have been, combined into the income divi sion. Commissioner Ray Smith is in charge of this divisioju Division Created. A new division has been created to perform administrative services for the entire commission, such as purchasing, appropriation accounting, payrolls, personnel, budgeting and maintenance of inventories of equipment and supplies.

This division will be known as the administrative services division under supervision of Commissioner Carl Chambers. Patterson said be anticipated this reorganization would result in the activities of the commission being handled more effectively by giving a higher degree of consistency in policy and better control over expenditures. He said there also would be some saving through reduction in personnel and group Unander Eyes Tax Changes State Treasurer Sig Unander Thursday' told a legislative in terim committee he favors transfer of jurisdiction of the state tax commission to 'the state treasurer's office.

The interim committee, appointed to study establishment of a state department of revenue, has tentatively recommended transfer of the gift and inheritance department of the state treasurer's office to the tax commission. -K Unander objected to this plan and opposed the establkament of-any new state departments, suggesting that any new offices be placed in existing departments.
