Farm And Co-Ops
Taxation Under
Consideration
WASHINGTON, May 25. '«.(• —
I The House Ways and Means Com-
mittee came to grips today with
the politically touchy question of
whether to tax the earnings of
farm and other cooperatives.
Ki*p. Noah M. Mason, K., 111.,
! contended that tax-exempt coops
do a $14,000,1>00,(MM) to $15,IMM),-
iiuo a year business in competition
them all the way from the coastal
country of the Virginias to the
West l'oast, before this unusual
type of tournament is finished.
The outcome of the tournament,
and their standings in the final
ratings against such rivals as
babe Didrickson Zaharius, will be

with tax-paying private business
firms.
He said they should be subject
to business taxes and estimated
this would add 000,000 a year
to treasury revenues.
Many members of congress are
wary of disturbing the tax-free
status of cooperatives. In many
parts of the country they can
speak with authority at the "ballot
box. f
The committee is seeking ways
to make up some of the anticipa-
ted losp in revenue through excise
tax reductions^ It tentatively has
approved cuts totaling $t,100,01)0,-
000 a year in taxes on travel tick-
ets, cosmetics, toilet goods, lug-
gage, movie tickets, and other it-
ems.
President Truman -threatened to
veto any bill which does not pro-
vide for offsetting the loss.
Mason proposed that the gov-
ernment levy a 10 per cent with-
holding tax on the dividend of pat-
ronage payments cooperatives
make to their members of stock-
holders. The committe already has
agreed tentatively to apply a L"
per cent withholding tax to the di-
vidends paid out by corporations.
Mason also has asked the com-
mittee to tax the undisturbed sur-
pluses of cooperatives at the regu-
lar corporation tax i-ies, which

Three Powers Agree To Policy
Of Arming East Against Attack
By MERKIMAX SMITH
L'nited Press
White House Reporter
_ WASHINGTON. May 25 tU.R"—
The L'nited States, Britain and
France announced today agree-
ment on arming t-he Arab nations
and IsrieL President Truman hail-
ed it as a step that should promote
peace and security.
The agreement on a unified pol-
icy is designed to ease Arab-Jew-
ish tension, prevent a new out-
break of war and bolster the area
against Communist aggression.
The Arab nations and the new
Jewish state are pledged to use
the arms only for their own inter-
foreign ministers reviewed the se-
curity and armament situation in
the near east and considered what
action to take to provide greater
stability in the area. The arms-
shipping agreement was the re-
sult.
38 per cent. Cooperatives are now
not required to pay such taxes
if their surpluses are accumulated
as a "reasonable reserve for any
necessary purpose" or to fulfill re-
serve requirements of state laws.
So far, the committee has ap-
proved proposals to make up about
$.'{">0,000,00 of the expected $1,-
100,000,OlM) excise loss.
nal security, and not for aggres-
sion against any other state.
The Big Three agreement was
announced simultaneously here, in
London and in Paris. President
Truman made the American an-
nouncement and said our partici-
pation in the plan "emphasizes
this country's desire to promote
the maintenance of peace in the
near east."
"it is the belief of the United
States government," Mr. Truman
said, "that the declaration will
stimulate in the Arab states and
Israel increased confidence in fu-
ture security, thus accelerating
the progress now being made in
the near east and contributing to-
ward the well-being of the peoples j
there."
Shortly before the agreement
was announced, the State Depart-
ment called in the chief diplomats
of the six Arab states and Israel
to inform them of the pact.
The agreement was made at the
recent London conference of the
Big Three Foreign Ministers, At
that time, the president said, the
Rumba King Soys
Wife Sounding Off
NEW YORK, May 2f, <U.P —
Rumba King Zavier Cugat said to-
day his estranged wife' was sound-
ing off in sour notes when she ac-
cused him of trying "to starve me
into submission."
"Her ideas and demands are not
only unfair, but are astronomical,"
the $12,500 a week Cugat said, ad-
mitting that he had quit paying
for her suport when he learned
she filed a California divorce suit
last fall.
Mrs. Cug-.it, the former actress
Lorraine Allan, called.a press con-
fenence yesterday to announce she
would have the band leader arerst-
ed for non-support. A California
judge awarded her $2,000 a month
temporary alimony in January.
She said Cugat hasn't paid her
a nickle since last October, leav-
ing her so destitute she had to
borrow money from her grand-
mother to come to Nev^ Vork to
track her hubbv down.
