New Plan For
Self-Government
Is Announced
LONDON, June 3 —(Jp)— The
British government, announced to-
day that it will transfer power in
India to the Indians almost immed-
iately and leave it to the Indian
people to decide whether there
shall be one or two government*.
The announcement was made si-
multaneously by Prime Minister
Clement R. Atlee in the house of
commons; by the viceroy, Lord
Mountbatten. in a broadcast to
the Indian people; and by the
British government in a white
paper.
Legislation will be introduced
during the present session of parl-
iament for tl
this year—on
basis—to one or two Indian gov-
ernments, depending on which sys-
tem the Indian people subscribe
m to.
drawal of the British, scheduled
for July of 1948. India wil be com-
posed of one or two self-governin?
countries which will bfelong to the
British commonwealth of nations.
Offer “Favorably Received**
Atlee said the new British plan,
i its offer of temporary domin-
ion status, had been “favorably re-
ceived” by the leaders of Indian
political parties.
Former Prime Minister Winston,
Churchill threw the backing of the
conservative opposition behind the
principle of temporary dominion
status for India—whether as a
united country of 390.000.000 or as
* separate Pakistan (Moslem) and
Hindustan < Hindu*—but reserved
% the right to oppose details of the
plan.
Churchill said a “blood bath’’
for India “may stand very near.*’
He added that the partition proposal
might "*?fer to India some pros-
pect of escape from one of the
most hideous calamities that . has
ever ravaged the vast expanses of
India.*’
Mountbatten told the * Indians
that he was convinced a unified
; India would be the best solution
of the problem, but ho agreement
on any plan for it could be reach-
ed, and the “only alternative to
coercion is partition.”
Requests Recognized
The statements recognized re-
quests by Indian political leaders
for an earlier transfer of power
from British to Indian hands than
the June 1948 deadline set by
r Britain.
The granting of dominion status
to India this year would mean
the country would be empowered to
make its own laws and conduct
its own affairs, as do Canada and
Australia.
Under today's plan. India then
would settle internally the questions
of provinces divided between com-
munal religious groups of Hindus
and Moslems, and whether the Ithat county at the present,LB
country remains one4 or break upj Kiowa county should get harvest
into several either inside or out- underway on a small scale by the
side the British empire. j Drst of next week, according to

HOLLYWOOD, June 3 —(U.R)—
The movie industry today called
on former Secretary of State James
F. Byrnes i to defend it against
charges of communism.
President Eric Johnston of the
Association of Motion Picture Pro-
ducers announced that Byrnes had
been hired as counsel for the movie
industry. He said Byrnes* first as-
signment would be to represent the
industry at Washington hearings
this month before the house un-
American activities committee.
Johnston said he considered By-
rnes an “outstanding champion of
freedom of expression.” He sakl
that was why he wanted Byrnes to
represent the movie industry in
its battle for “freedom of the
screen.”
American films are Interwoven
in the fabric of our whole econo-
mic and social life,” Johnston de-
clared. “Hollywood’s pictures in-
evitably reflect democratic habits
>f thought and action. They are
)otenfc forces for freedom every-
where.
“A free screen has made that
possible. It is our sacred obligation
to protect that free screen.
“We are determined that subver-
sive propaganda, government pres-
sure, or political censorship will
never undermine this freedom—
which, like freedom of press and
radio, is indispensable to a free
America.”
Conference On
Fieldhouse Held
Precedent Seen In
Legal Procedure
Legal procedure in the coopera-
tion of the city of El Reno, the
city board of education and the
Canadian county commissioners on
a proposed fieldhouse and stadium
project at Adams park will mark
a new precedent in Oklahoma if
the project is completed, according
to information received by a local
group Monday in the office of Mac
Q. Williamson, attorney general.
Harry Lorenzen, couny attorney;
J. N. Roberson, city attorney; Paul
R. Taylor, superintendent of El
Reno schools, and C. A. Bentley,
city manager, conferred Monday
with Mrs. Eula Erixon, bond aU
torney in the office of the at-
torney general, to determine the
procedure for calling the three
elections necessary in the project
which would be supported by the
three groups. t
“It will be the first time three
such groups cooperated in a project
In Oklahoma for construction of
buildings provided by bond issues ”
Bentley said today.
Information received at the at-
torney general’s office was dis-
cussed at the joint meeting of city
councilmen, board of education and
county commissioners held Mon -
day night.
The three groups will call elec-
tions as soons as legal matters are
completed for the bonds. County
residents will vote on a five-mill
levy which would provide approxi-
mately $95,000 and bond issue elec-
tions will be held for city and
school district voters on issues of
$100,000 each.
Cost of the pioposed fieldhouse
and stadium at Adams park would
be an estimated $300,000. The field-
house would be used for athletic
events, as an auditorium, and for
4-H club and Future Farmers of
America shows and other large
events. The stadium would serve
both for football games and for
rodeo events.

To White House
Senate Majority
Is Insufficient
To Override Veto
WASHINGTON, June 3—The
$4,000,000,000-a-year income tax
cut cleared the senate today and
headed for the White House, where
its fate is uncertain.
The compromise bill, worked out
by a house-senate committee, pass-
ed the senate by a 48 to 28 vote,
short of the two-thirds majority
which would be required to over-
ride a veto.
U won house approval yesterday
220 to 99, more than the required
two-thirds. But each house would
have to run up a two-thirds tally
to make the bill law over Presi-
dent Truman’s disapproval.
Some of the Democrats opposed
to the legislation expect a veto in
the next few days. Mr. Truman
repeatedly has expressed his op-
position to a tax reduction this
year.
Taft Issues Statement
The measure calls for cuts in
individual income taxes ranging
from 10.5 to 30 percent, effective
July 1.
Before the senate acted, Sena-
tor Robert Taft (Republican, Ohio)
declared that Mr. Truman can’t
afford to veto the bill. The Repub-
lican policy committee chief as-
serted that such a step would put
the chief executive “definitely on
the side of high taxes and high
expenses.” r
Tift declared in a statement
that “all the spenders want to keep
the tax receipts up to $40,000,000,-
000* in order to maintain a high
standard of government spending.’*
Next year’s election will be
tremendously influenced by what
President Truman and the Repub-
lican congress do with tax reduc-
tion and labor control bills in the
next couple of weeks, observers
said.
| Speedy veto of the tax bill and
probably of the labor control bill
Is being generally predicted. Third
party developments and Henry A.
Wallace’s plans may be directly
affected by the fate of the bills.
If Mr. Truqian accepts either of
them the third party urge might
be too strong for Wallace to resist.
President On Record
Chairman Harold Knutson,
(Republican, Minnesota) of the
house ways and means committee
said after the house vote he be-
lieved Mr. Truman would not
veto the tax bill. Knutson said a
veto would deny more than 149,-
000.000 taxpayers relief from op-
pressive wartime taxation.”
Not many hereabouts agreed
with Knutson on that veto. Mr.
Truman is firmly on record against
tax cuts at this time. Ee wants
to devote all surplus to debt re-
tirement. About the only way the
president could justify approval of
the tax bill would be to admit he
and his financial advisers were
mistaken last January when the
budget message was submitted to
congress.
The house will act finally on
the labor control bill tomorrow. A
vote margin of well more th$n
two-thirds is assured there and In
the senate where the final vote
probably will come on Thursday.
If Mr Truman disapproves the
labor control bill congress prob-
ably will override his veto. A two-
thirds affirmative vote of both
houses would be necessary for that.
Water Pump Is
Being Repaired
Low pressure in water mains at
El Reno will be corrected when
the pump now being repaired In
Oklahoma City is back In service.
City Manager C. A. Bentley said
today.
The pump was taken to Okla-
homa City yesterday. It was dam-
aged Saturday night during the
electrical storm when the three
pumps were kepf operating.
Normal procedure is to discon-
tinue electrical pumps at the plant
during electrical storms, Bentley
pointed out, but the three were left
in operation since the water tower
was being painted and repaired.
