Members of congress anticipate that the president will urge repeal or reductions of the war-time levies and accompany this recommendation with a reauest for increased taxes elsewhere to make up the rexenue loss. Congress also must tUe nnto nf the impending treasury deficit, ex pected to reach five billion dollars or more by June 30 when the government will close its books for the 1950 fiscal year. A cut in excise taxes without an accompanying- increase in revenue from other sources would only boost the deficit However, Dingell expressed confidence that the committee would "work out something." Marino in Jail, Awaits Trial in Death of Girh DOLTON (CNS) Arthur Marino, 28, local music teacher, charged with murder, spent Christmas in jail despite his attempt to be released fo? the holiday. Attorneys for Marino asked Federal Judge Philip Sullivan for Marino's freedom over the holidays. In a habeas corpus plea, they claimed a circuit court judge had refused to hear their request for bond.

Marino was indicted for the alleged murder of Joan Coward, 18, on June 28. Her body was found in 'the rear of an auto as he drove to the Riverdale police station. He claimed men had surprised them body evidently was thrown into the bay after she died. There was no identification on the body when it was found yesterday by a hotel employe who saw it floating near the Miami side of the bay. Detective C.

E. Hall described the woman at about 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing 140 pounds. She wore a blue sailor blouse, thick crepe-soled white buckskin shoes and a costly white flannel skirt with a torn black jacket. Hall said the outfit was typical of that worn by women on yachting parties and theorized she might have been thrown from a boat. Her shoes and blouse both bore Nw York labels.

Hall said the victim was beaten badly around the face. She apparently had been dead about 24 hours when her body was found. $75 to S310 Price Cuts on New Buicks FLINT, Mich. (INS) The General Motors Corp. today announced that new 1950 Buicks will cost from $75 to $310 less than 1949 models.

The price cuts followed similar reductions announced recently in the new Oldsmobile line and quashed speculation that the $4-a-ton increase in steel would rule out price reductions on 1950 model cars. NEW YORK. AP) The 1949 list of the world's 10 best-drrsscci women was out today, and it reads a lot like last year's list Only two newcomers are on the roster of fine fashion. They are Broadway stage star Mary Martin and Mrs. Kingman Douglas, the former Adele Astaire, of Middle-burg, Va.

Heading the list for the second consecutive year is Mrs. William Paley, slender, brunette wife of the head of the Columbia Broadcasting system. Runners-up, as announced by the New York Dress institute yesterday, are: 2. The Duchess of Windsor, of New York and Paris. 3.

Mrs. Harrison Williams. New York. 4. The Duchess of Kent, London.

5. Mrs. Lcland Hayward, the former Mrs. Howard Hawks, of Hollywood. 6.

Mrs. William Randolph Hearst, Washington and New York. 7. Miss Martin, star "South Pacific," of Norwalk, and New York. 8.

Mrs. Byron Foy, New York. 9. Mrs. Louis Arpels, Paris.

10. Mrs. Douglas. Except, for Miss Martin. Mrs.

Douglas and Mrs. Foy, all were on the 1948 list. Mrs. Foy was on the 1947 roster and several previous ones. Many of those named have been among the top 10 for years, including the Duchess of Windsor and Mrs.

Leland Hayward. Mrs. Wil-lams has been so listed every year except one since 1933. Mrs. Paley, in winning top fashion honors, is described as a simple dresser who buys comparatively few clothes.

He wants everyone to experience the greater health and the Power which there came to him. Within ten years, he was able to retire to this country with a fortune. He had been honored by fellowships in the world's leading geographical societies, for his work as a geographer. And today, 39 years later, he is still so athletic, capable of so much work, so young in appearance, it is hard to believe he has lived so long.

One Holiday Continued from Page 1 an auto as she and her family were en route to Gary to observe Christmas with relatives. Station Wagon Demolished The accident occurred on State Road 16 near Buffalo.

Miss Sanson was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Sanson, Route 4, Monticello. The most. serious Hammond accident was a car-train accident at Calumet and Fayette, at the Nickel Plate railroad tracks.

A station wagon was completely demolished by the train, but the driver, Cornel Lengyel-Leahu, 25, of 1820 W. 142nd, East Chicago, escaped with minor injuries. The watchman at the crossing, Wendel Paxton, of 927 State, Hammond, was booked on a charge of intoxication after the accident. The station wagon driver told police that he was waiting at the gate for one train to pass. When it cleared the crossing the gates went up and Lengyel-Leahu started across, but according to witnesses there was a train coming from the other direction.

The train struck the vehicle's side. Truck-Auto Crash Mary Davis, 23, of 833 State, Hammond, suffered minor injuries early Christmas morning when a truck in which she was riding collided with a car, careened and hit another in Calumet City.

II Mi II II 1IIJ I Thirty-nine years ago in for bidden Tibet, behind the highest mountain in the world, a young Englishman named Edwin J. Din gle found the answer to this ques tion. A great mystic opened his eyes. A great change came over him. He realized the strange power that knowledge gives.

That Power, he says, can transform the life of anyone. Questions, whatever they are, can be answered. The problems of health, death, poverty and wrong, can be solved. In his own case, he was brought back to splendid health. He ac quired wealth, too, as well as world wide professional recognition.

Thirty-nine years ago, he was sick as a man could be and live. Once his coffin was bought. Years of almost continuous tropical fevers, broken bones, near blindness, privation and danger had made a human wreck of him, physically and mentally. He was about to be sent back to England to die, when a strange message came "They are waiting for you in Tibet." He wants to tell the whole world what he learned v.v.wv Corporation WASHINGTON (INS) A lead- ung member of tne lax-ararung house ways and means committee announced today that he will press for a billion dollar annual increase in corporation taxes. Rep.

Dingell, said increase would help offset rev-ienue losses arising from repeal of war-time excise taxes. The congressman, who favored elimination of all war-time levies on consumer sales and services, predicted that repeal of the 1942-, imposed taxes had "an excellent chance" of enactment by congress in 1950. Sen. O'Conor, agreed with Dingell's appraisal of exeise- jtax repeal advantages and forecast speed action by the next session iof congress. However, House Republican Leader Martin of Massachusetts declared that any administration effort to "package" excise-tax repeal with new income levies "has next to no chance of enactment." Dingell estimated that repeal would cut government revenues by upwards of two billion dollars a year.

However, he added, it would stimulate production and business land thus bring in additional rev enue through the payment of larger returns on existing taxes. The congressman explained there was no accurate method of estimating what the additional revenue would be from increased production. He therefore favored a one billion dollar boost in other taxes "just to play safe." Dingell stated that he would urge an increase of up to four per cent in the corporate normal income tax. He estimated that each one- Struck by Garbage Truck, Sues for 825,000 Heinrich Kleeberg, 67, of 915 173rd, Hammond, has filed suit for $25,000 damages in Hammond Superior court, for injuries received when he was hit by a city garbage truck at State and Calumet Sept 27. Named as defendants are William J.

Ross, the driver, and the city of Hammond. Kleeberg states in his complaint, prepared by Hammond Attorney G. Edward McHie, that he was hurled to the pavement as he crossed State. The truck, he alleges, had made a turn into State from Calumet. The city is guilty of negligence, he contends, in that it failed to maintain the truck's brakes properly and in that Ross failed to maintain a proper lookout.

He moved to Pennsylvania later and became state commander of the American Legion there. Einstein's New Continued from Page 1 ing it in February as an added chapter in Einstein's own book, "The Meaning of Relativity." Einstein is now professor of mathematics at the institute for advanced study at Princeton, a non-university group for fundamental research.

At the start of his paper, Einstein explains his aim: "I shall try to present an attempt at the solution of this problem (the unified field theory), which appears to me highly convincing, although due to mathematical difficulties I have not yet found a way to confront the results of the theory with experimental evidence." Several times before, Einstein has thought he had the answer, then discarded his ideas as faulty. But now his friends think he has actually discovered it, the magazine Scientific American said in a parallel article. "He is said to have told close associate! that he regards it as magazine said. "He is reported to have given enthusiastic blackboard explanations of his equations." But proof, if the theory can be proved, may take years, and any practical use may take years longer. In earlier theories, Einstein linked up space-and-time, matter-and-energy, and gravitation-and-inertia, as all parts of a single concept But one great force was left out electromagetism.

This is what creates "electricity" and it is, like gravitation, an invisible force field that can act at a distance. The new theory now includes electromagnetism, and It and gravitation are now viewed as two forms of one overall force. In 1905, Einstein's "special theory of relativity" showed that matter could be turned into energy a fantastic amount of energy. It seemed only a scientific curiosity until some matter uranium 235 was turned into energy 45 years later over Hiroshima. No one knows what it will take to prove Einstein's new theory.
