Tax Cut Decision
Put Off 2 Months *
WASHINGTON, l/P> — Tax cut
possibilities were discussed by
Republican leaders at a White
House conference Tuesday' but
they said afterward a decision
probably will be put off for two
months.
Senate leader Knowland made
the forecast of delay after a 2Vz
hour session.
In the interval, he said, the
administration will review the
impact of anti-recession steps it
already has taken in such fields
as housing, highway and public
works construction.
And, he said, Secretary of the
Treasury Anderson informed the
conference the administration
will undertake no tax program
without prior consultation with
Democratic leaders of the Sen
ate and House.
Knowland said these leaders
already have seen the Secretary
and he assumes the implication is
the Democrats also will put forth
no leadership-backed tax cut plan
of their own without consulting
the administration.
Anderson, Knowland said, did
not outline any specific forms for
tax cuts that might be used in
the event business and employ
ment fail to recover in reasonable
time. This was in contradiction
to what Sen. Martin (R-Pa), sen
ior GOP member of the Senate
Finance Committee, had told
newsmen.
Martin had said a number of
alternatives were mentioned,
such as reducing withholding
taxes, cutting excise taxes, and
lowering taxes on individuals and
business in a way to encourage
greater investments in private
enterprise.
So, for a second week in a
row, varying versions came out
of the weekly meeting with Presi
dent Eisenhower.
Meanwhile, the Democrats on
Capitol Hill considered the pos
sibility of meeting a prolonged
business slump with a $40 lump
sum rebate in taxes witheld from
paychecks. They figure this
would put some two billion dol
lars into circulation.

Court-Martial For
2 Who Mistreated
Korean Prisoner
SEOUL, Korea, B-Two U.S.
Army men \vill be court-martial
ed on charges of assaulting a
young Korean thief who was
beaten, nailed in a box and flown
25 miles, the Army said today.
A major who had already lost
his command because of the Feb.
25 incident has received the
choice of a slap-on-the-wrist sen
tence or trying to beat the rap
in a trial, 8th Army headquarters
said.
The case of 14-year-old Kim
Choon II has brought demands by
South Korea for the right to try
U.S. servicemen. The boy, who
Army investigators said was mis
treated after being caught with
stolen items at the 8th Army Air
craft Maintenance Center at As
com City, is now in an orphan
age.
Capt. Marvin E. Kemp of Kil
michael, Miss., faces a general
court-martial. The 34-year-old of
ficer is charged with striking Kim
with a stick, cutting him with a
knife and unlawfully confining
him in a box. Kemp is also
charged with conduct unbecoming
an officer.
If convicted, the Army said,
Kemp could be imprisoned for
five years, dismissed from the
Army and deprived of all pay
and allowances.
M/Sgt. Robert E. Weidensaul
will get a special court-martial
on a charge of assault, the Army
said. If convicted he could get six
months at hard labor, reduction
to private and forfeiture of two
thirds pay while imprisoned.
