Tax Reduction in Sight ' , j
; Both houses of congress have passed a tax
reduction measure. The j two versions will go
to i conference committee where differences
will be ironed out. These are not vital, and an
early agreement my;b expected r
Both bills provide1 tax reductions for Indivi
duals and corporations and for purchasers of
specially taxed articles. However pc distribu
tion is not the same. The 'Associated Press gives
ttis comparsion of the two bills: v;
;i I INDIVIDUAL INCOME TAX
Senate: Puts 3 per cent normal tax on same
exemption base as surtaxes; cuts Stpercentag
points off surtax rate in each bracket; tax
paver pays only 95 per cent of tax figured
under this formula. Estimated cut, $2,644,000,-
. ooo.; .. . . '-' '. ;
Reese: Puts normal tax on samcv exemption
base as surtaxes; cuts 4 percentage points off
surtax in each bracket; no individual to receive
less than a 10 per cent tax reduction; Estimated ,
cut $2,827,000,000. I j I
Under both bills, 12.000,000 lowjncome in-,
dividual! would be swept from the tax rolls.
v- ' " CORPORATIONS p
-Senate: Excess profits tax repealed as of
January 1, 1946; capital stock tax and de
clared value excess profits tax repealed; reduc
tions ordered in graduate surtax rates on small
- corporations with annual income lesal than $60,- i

peal declared value' excess profits) tape and
capital stock levy; Teduce combined normal and
surtax from 40 per cent to 36 per cent! Total

AITTOUSETAX
; Both senate and hoiise bills repeal he $5-a-
year use, tax on automobiles and boats next
July 1. Estimated cut $140,000,000.

Senate: N reductions In wartime levies en'
luxuries and semi-luxuries. .
vj. Repeal of 1941 excise taxes on snoring goods,
i stoves, electrical appliances, business machines
and photographic apparatus. $70,000,000.

bus and air (travel, luggage and light bulbs. Esti
mated loss to ( treasury In last half of 1948,
'.' $695,000,000, including refunds on floor stocks.
SOCIAL 8EqURITY TAX)
. Both senate and house bills freeze Social
Security payroll tax j throughout 1946 at its
; present rate of 1 per 'cent each on employers
. and employes. Without such a provision, the
. -tax automatically would advance to 2Vs per
cent next January 1. I i
1 VETERAN8'j TAXES
Senate: Enlisted personnel in armed forces
forgiven all federal income taxes on service
. pav for war years; extension of time given
, officers to pay back taxes without interest
noust No special veterans provisions.
This offers substantial relief for j individual
taxpayers and for corporate business! It is fully
as far as the congress ought to go In view of
the state of the treasury However,! if it pro
vides stimulus to enterprise the results may be
highly gratifying from a treasury, standpoint
as well as from the viewpoint of the taxpayer,
We cannot expect low income taxes "for L
long time to come. Not only Is there a huge
debt hanging over the government, but the
spending psychology has such a grip that no
one yet can make a definite promise the bud
get will be balanced.
This reduction is just one step-in
problem of the government's ' fiscal
is taken with very general agreement among
the groups in congress. The real tests will come
when congress" takes up its peacetime budgets.
News Suppression in Middle East
Throughout ithe war probably the tighest
censorship of news was in Cairo, Egypt. Major
General Giles, the American commander there,
imposed the most rigid kind of censorship on
news stories cleared through Cajro from all
over the middle east- Egypt,1 Greece,: and coun
tries MAsia - Minor,! The accusation has been,
made that the news control was in behalf of
British interests in that area of the globe; and
it does seem that the- United States has been
.an active or acquiescent supporter of British
policy there. : ' ;. : " f;i " .
(A recent incident draws fresh attention to
news suppression in the middle east. Constan- VvJs?
tine Poulos. correspondent of Overseas News
agency, was expelled from Palestine on British
orders. He had gone into Palestine on a 30-day
permit signed by Gen. Giles, stayed: there six
day, written but one story, when the British
kicked him out, routing the expulsion order
through the-American public relations' office
in Cairo. -Just a few days before a Reuter cor
respondent was expelled, from Lebanon.
So it isn't Russia alone which closes its doors
to free observation and reporting. The middle
east under the British-American combination
Is still controlled, with British policy apparently
directed toward suppressing free reporting in
that trouble-area.; ' -
Our state department has been working .hard
to get Russia to admit American reporters into
Bulgaria, Jugo-Slavia and others of the newly
liberated countries within the .Russian orbit
It might make representations to General Giles
at Cairo and to the British in the middle east,
to see if news freedom may not be restored
there. h . ; i : ' i

THE GAUNTUTT. by James Strc4
r (Doubtedar. Doran; $2.75).
' James Street is known as a
writerl who knows about boys
and dogs and Southern history.
On th basis of "The Gauntlett,"
he also knows, about religion ,
at least as the Baptists see it.
Street goes far out of his pre
vious path here, in the story of
London Wingo and his trials as
a smaltown, small church, pas
tor. Yet he writes with a sound,
sure hand of theology and creed,
of practice and preaching. May
be the answer is that Street him
self once was a Baptist preacher,
and left the seminary just as
London Wingo did and for th
same reason: "I was broke and
we were expecting our first
.baby.lv
Naturally that raises the ques- .
tion: How much of "The Gaunt
let,' H autobiographical? Street
says he "never knew a preacherj
like Wingo. I made him up out
of several preachers." But 111.
bet on of the several was James
Street.
Hi Allen Smith, of "Low Man
on a Totem Pole" fame says this
book is "A Protestant 'Going My
Way. ? It -would be more apt to
say that it's a Baptist "One Foot
in Heaven."
For on thing, as Street him
self paints out, London Wingo "is
not trying to persuade people to
go his; Way, but is trying to find
the way he wants to go." But th
parallel with "ne Foot in
Heaven" is inevitable to any
one who remembers Hartzell
Spenco's account of the Method
. 1st small-town, small church,
pastor
Street's story, lacks th free,
deft humor of the Rev. S pence's
story. i Perhaps that is because,
by the; author's admission, Lon
don. Wjngo is several men rolled
into one while th Rev. Spenc
was burdened by no personality
but his own. ,
Again, th f reader of "Th
Gauntlet" feels some times that
the author is leading him un
duly by the hand, especially in
. those paragraphs which obvious
ly arc Street's own observations
on what his characters should
or should not do. The result is a

These Dutchmen refuse to be quoted and ex

so that the Amsterdam (policy of giving Indonesia !
dominion status under the announced program can!
get going and further bloodshed be avoided.
How much of this and similar talk has reached
British ears is unknown, but one can surmise that
one British answer would be that the British sent
what they had available? at the time.
On Oct 5 the London Daily Telegraph; said ;
"It woul have been preferable if French and
Dutch troops could have been sent to take over
their respective territories, but since that was
not possible, the duty has had to fall on British!
troops whose rule ' is strictly limited to two ob

would rest entirely on how big
and good he made the national

- He claimed , the rockets and
atom bombs have robbed us of

But he said the army and navy
could, not use the youthful re

to get an act of congress passed.
By that time 1 the nation might

Sea Defense Destroyed )
He claimed : our geographical
ocean defense had been de
stroyed (directed missiles would
come winging over the icy fron
tier of th arctic to our mid-1
west),' but his; plan would risk
our defense to "a small" army
and navy, and ; national guard,
which hardly sounds like . ade
quate defense i and completely
abandons' : attack possibilities
which are often the dest defense.
Frankly, It seems to me, Mr.
Truman was sold an obsolete
youth draft system by the old-'
time. crowd in the war depart-
ment, and he dressed it up with
his national guard enlargement
idea, and presented it as an
answer for a job it will not do.
From his own evidence, we will
have to be; ready to act faster
than his plan would allow
action.
I
Conscription Dressed Up
Then again he said "universal
military training is not conscrip
tion," assuming apparently that
conscription; applies only to di
rect service in : the army and
navy. ' ;
Conscription i means "enlisted
by compulsion" for anything,
whether civilian ; service, youth
camps or the democratic party.
It is the Russian ; way,- the com
munist way, the old" Prussian
way and the objection that will
unquestionably., sway congress
against it is that there ar many
democratic- ways: of doing the
same job better, v
. What we need for defense is a
scientific army for this ' scien
tific age. First there should be- a
aingle department of the armed
j . ; forces with a co-equal air fore

S V LlCntV Jr- Truman envisaged.
J J ' Mere Reserve Needed .
Fossilized ideas like youth
drafts, should be shoved out with
th fossils, and; a new enlight
ened spirit generated through
out our defense system. This
armed ' force Should not be"

Behind this armed force, a bet

could be built in a democratic

By the youth draft, the armed

LETTERS FROM STATESMAN READERS
ADJUSTMENTS ARE NEEDED
To the Editor:
Headline in the "Salesman"
today, BUS STRIKE SETTLED.
Port - of the story reads "Th
strike started at midnight Sept.

down. Drivers drove their busses
-to the. nearest station and left
many passengers stranded, some
of them in isolated communities
with no other means of trans
portation available - - -" j
Strikes as they ar conducted
today usually hit th general
public harder than either party
to the controversy. Friends of or
ganized labor find it hard jto
agree that this is the way jto
settle disputes, while Mr. and
Mrs. Public have just about lost
all sympathy,
During the war we frequently
heard comments on the indiffer
ence to customers by sales peo-
r : - i f- ' j

But they should be furnished

; These twef steps woud cover
the entire youth of th country
with a truly democratic kind of
compulsion, by making military
service a required subject in the
schools and national guard or
army service obligatory for those
who do not go to school. j
For officer personnel, Anap-
. oUs and : West .Point should b
duplicated to whatever extent
: necessary.- . I -
There is need for haste as Mr.
Truman said. A long time will
be required to get these things
going efficiently. Many bills to
carry out some phases of. such a
democratic training program ar
pending In congress, but j there
is no democratic program a a
whole. This is the gravest faul
of current situation.
Botch Jab Feared i
If the bulheaded war depart
' ment - will not' work , out what
congress wants, and is abl to
control Mr. Truman, congress Is
, likely - to ; work out a piecemeal
substitute which will not do the
. job either. .' , A .- : .
It Is a condition screaming for
skilled democratic leadership,
which unless furnished might
" well cause this nation to fall be-
pie; jokes were turned ion this
unusual situation. Striking work
ers must give consideration to
their customers in the Conduct
of a strike, likewise management
in their activities, if public sup
port is worth anything. -
Adjustments in pay-take-home
and in price control are desper
ately required nor can Ihese ad
justments be long delayed. The
best minds of the country ' should
be at work on these problems in
the public interest. Present
methods seem to have been out
moded with war's end. We hav
something, about to burst, which
is a second atomic bomb and
this one is . not a secret, j Labor
leaders, and employer repre
sentatives, and official Washing
