A retroactive surtax was trimmed for 75,000 firms, while 25,000 would begin payments last July. The plan imposes a 75 percent levy on earnings over 83 percent of the top three year average from 1946 to 1949.

UN Leaders Hope for Reply as Korea Cease Fire Talks Pause
The six nation UN committee waited for a possible cable from Wu to authorize talks or invite the committee to Peiping after Wu rejected a cease fire appeal as a ploy to gain time for weapon reinforcements. Diplomats monitor Peiping radio while awaiting official word, with a combined cease fire and political settlement likely only if authorized. The United States opposes linking the two issues, viewing it as yielding to blackmail.

German Units In New Army
German foreign ministers plan a post meeting approach to induce Bonn to contribute about 20 combat units of 6,000 troops each to a western bulwark against Soviet aggression. The plan offers political and economic concessions without full independence. Details on the tactical air force remain undisclosed but would be limited and Luftwaffe forces would focus on fighter aircraft with some light bombers. US Britain and France will begin Bonn talks on German contributions as Atlantic allies outline protection against potential Red thrusts. Flood losses in the United States have averaged over 110 million dollars annually.
