For the man on the street this budget contrasts with the, preelection "sunshine" budget of 1949 when Mr. Abbott reduced personal Income taxes by $376,000,000 and set 750,000 pet-sons free from personal Income tax liability. Last night Mr. Abbott was crystal clear In warning that budgets such as the 1950 bud- get, with similar tax structure, are here to stay. For those wno are concerned about the possibility, Mr Abbott gave the assurance it was not the government's policy to j tax capital gains.

All were heavily armed with machine guns.' Forty were sunk, the Nationalists said. Presumably others fled toward safety under shore-based gyiis. Other Nationalist warships said they had sunk seventy junks at Hangchow Bay south of Shanghai. TODAY'S STOCKS- (Courtesy S. D. Johnston Co Ltd.)
