Suspend Discussion ~ p011 Atomic Control

_ dispatches said today that

CAIRO, May 1'1 — (AP)--Arab I Arab armies have penetrated north- eastern Palestine in an operation which could determine the control of that fertile region. The area. now is claimed by the new Jewish stats of Israel. '

The penetration’ coincides with an advance the Arab higher exec- utivo office said the Egyptian army has made in the south to within a0 miles or Tel Aviv, the temporary capital of Israel.

Foreign Minister Moshe Sher- iok of Israel iold reporters in Tel Avlv that the Arabs were exerting heavy pressure in the northeast and the south. ’

(Of the two operations the one in the northeast in the vicinity oif the Sea of Galilee appears to be the more significant. It is taking place in Jewish-claimed territory near the borders of Syria, Leb- anon and ‘Irans-Jordan. The ares is well populated and is a major source of water and hydro-elec- tric power for Palestine.)

65,000-TON BARRIER

WASHINGTON’, May 17 -- (Al?)

Congressional committee v-hlc previously approved an air force it hopes Will be the worlds most. powerful today cleared the way for the United States Navy to build the largest ship ever launch- ed .

The air force bill eventually was passed by both House of Repre- sentatives lnd senate ,and waits only President ‘Truman's signa- ture.

The measure approved unani- mously by the House armed serv- ices slab-committee today would enable the Navy to get started oti a. 05,000 ton aircraft carrier almost half again the size of present ships of that type. -

Navy authorities said the super- carrlar would be the largest ship of any type ever built. Its cost would be about $124,000,000. ,

The carrier would be about 1C feet longer than the Norman/tile. former French luxury liner. It would have a waterline length of 1,000 feet, but. continuing its flight deck overhang it would ‘be 1,09 feet. -

Presumably. multiple - engine botnbers capable of carrying an atomic bomb thousands of miles could take off from its flight deck.

The full committe will take the bill up next, probably tomorrow.

Top military leaders all approve the super carrier project, Defence Secretary James Forrestal said. The’ President and the budget. bureau military planners also favor the project. It. was formally pro- posed by Navy Secretary John Sullivan last week

(By George Kitchen) _ OTTAWA, May 17-(CP)--Par- liament and the country is await- ing with keen interest the taxation secrets which Finance Minister Abbott will unfold to the Commons tomorrow night.

At precisely 9 p.m. ADI‘ tomor- row evening he will begin pre- sentation cf the 1948-40 budget, reading from a speech which is ex- pected to run to approximately 13.000 words. It will give an ac- counting of revenue an expendi- ture during the last. fiscal year and, more important, present D forecast of taxation ‘measures to come.

In this ‘potential election year, both in ‘the Federal field and in the Provinces, few on Parliament Hill are anxious to prophesy what the budget may contain. But there is general agreement on one point:

Await Budget Speech WithKeen Interest-n»

It will sho\v the greatest surplus in Canadian history.

Thls- surplus-the excess of -rev- enues over expenditures for 1B4’!- 48-is expected to total $800,000,000 or more. It will put into the shade the $352,000,000 surplus which was reported last year for 1906-4’! and which. until then, record surplus.

With a surplus of that mogul--

tude, MrfAbbott is expected to finll it difficult to justify. current taxation levels and there is wide expectation that he will do some- thing to relieve the burden on the taxpayer. _

Just where the reductions will be remains, of course, a state sec- ret until the Minister bcgins his budget address. But there is an ex- pectation he will lean toward cuts in the indirect-rather than the

direct-taxation field.
