Full of new research culled by William Harlan Hale from the four volumes, previously untrans lated corespondence of Karl Marx and Fred erick Engle, founders 'of the Communist parly and authors of the Communist Mani festo, this account of the singular collabor ation in the 1850s with the leading New York newspaper adds an explosive chapter to the annals of journalism. Marx, the German revolutionist, living in extreme poverty as an exile in London, was employed by Managing Editor Charles A. Dana of the Tribune. Much of his writing was "ghost" written by his close friend, Fred erick Engles. They were then writing "Das Kapital" and in touch with revolutionaries all over, Europe and sent exclusive news articles which Dana reported, "were read with satis faction by a considerable number of persons" there were no press associations or cables, and few correspondents in those days. There was some dissatisfaction, for the Tribune said editorially, "Mr. Marx has in deed opinions of his own, with some of which we are far from agreeing with, but those who do not heed this letter neglect one of the most instructive sources of information, the great question of European politics." Marx was virtually dependent on the in come from the Tribune letters for which he received $5 an article compiled from reports from his followers all over Europe and in fact, of the world, mixed with polemitcs and prophesies, among them the following in his column of December 31, 1853; deleted from the Marx officially collected works reads: ". . . the people of the west will rise again to power and unity of purpose, while the Rus sian Colossus itself will be shattered by the progress of the masses and the explosive force of ideas." . - Marx all during his 10 years writing for the Tribune abusively clamored for more money and more letters, because they vere his sole sourse of revenue, but was refused. All told this "potential assassin of kings" sent over 500 separate contributions to the Tri bune which was dedicated to American patri otism, and he venemously cursed Greeley whom he never met, for not increasing his stipend, which ended when the United States 'Civil War started. , Much of the material Marx gathered for Greeley, particularly on the poverty of the working class abroad during the depression of the late 1850s went into Das Kapital. Dur ing this period Marx's life "resembled a nightmare, living in a squalid two-room flat with his sick wife and six children, begging for food and medicine, living on bread and potatoes. But both'he and Engels did a good job .for the Tribune although it unwittingly spread their new gospel propaganda. G. P. The refund is limited to taxpayers who filed refund claims within the time limit for claims on income in the years 1942-53. About 66,000 may get sick pay refunds. The time limit is three years after the filing of a tax return. The deadline has passed for a refund claim on 1953 incomes. In 1954 -the law limited tax-free sick pay to a maximum of $100 a week and the new ruling has no effect on the revised law only on the previous law. The exclusion from income of sick pay up to $100 a week starts with the first week of absence if the person is hospitalized for one day. If he is not hospitalized the exclusion begins at the eighth day of absence. How ever, if the absence is the result of injury, exclusion begins with the first day of ab sence, whether hospitalized or not. Many large companies prefer to pay their em ployes, when they are ill, out of company funds rather than arranging for payments through a formalized insurance policy. From 1942 through 1953, the Federal income tax law gave exemptions to. income from health insurance policies. In 1954, the law was re-written to give limited exemption to income from such policies and income received directly from a sick person's employer, through a plan for the continuation of wages in such .an emergency. G. P. Pleasant Valley Dam According to A. Robert Smith, Washing ton correspondent of several Oregon newspa pers, the White House has definitely turned down the proposal for a federal high dam at Pleasant Valley, Idaho, site on the Snake river, which indicates there has been no change in the Eisenhower "partnership" power policy of permitting local public and private enterprise to cooperate in developing hydroelectric projects where feasible. This top level decision is said to quash the effort of Interior Secretary Fred A. Sea ton to have a high Pleasant Valley federal project built where a combine of four Northwest power companies plan to build a lower dam. It conforms generally with the administration policy set four years ago by Secretary Douglas McKay of nonsupport for a high Hells Canyon dam, where Idaho Power Company sought to build three smaller dams and is building one of them now. Last November the Bureau of Reclamation completed preliminary surveys ordered by Seaton last fall. On January 20, Seaton an nounced in favor of a high dam and said he would ask the FPC to delay any decision in the pending Pleasant Valley-Mountain Sheep case until interior engineers could complete geological data on feasibility of the project, estimated to lake a year. The request evi dently been ignored. Seaton is said to have made the request to FPC chairman Jerome K. Kuykeiulall, who protested lo the White House this reversal of policy by Seaton, which precipitated an administration policy decision respecting Seaton's Pleasant Valley plan, which had not been cleared with the White House or taken up with the cabinet. The result was the veto of Seaton's plan find to "save face" he was permitted lo send FPC a letter so worded that it could be vari ously interpreted and save embarrassment of being reversed openly on a policy matter. Thus McKay's advocacy of the Eisenhower "partnership" power policy by public power fanatics, for which he was bitterly attacked, contributed to his defeat for election to the senate from Oregon while the same voters gave Ike a thumping majority and this helped kill the chance for a high Hells Canyon dam. G. P. KAY TUCKER Fred Astaire At 58 Still Packs 'Em In NEW YORK I After 52 years show business, Fred Astaire would still rather talk with his feet than his face. One of the most c o n s i o u s artists of his '5 generation when it comes to his trade, which is dancing, Fred is merely sell-conscious when it comes to con versation about himself.

Reuther has added to union officers' current anxieties with his demand for a four-day week in the automobile industry. His revolutionary pro posal is generally regarded as his bid for eventual leadership of the American labor movement, and possibly for a Democratic vice-presidential nomination in I960. e Reuther's rivals are chieflv disturbed because of the tim- (, ing of his Atlantic City sug gestion. It comes at a mo ment when Congress and public are indignant over certain union bosses' arro gance and callousness, including the eood and the bad, because of the Beck-Brewsler scandals. , On top of Senator McClcllan's startline revelations, the brash Detroit man's four day week with five days' pay may destroy labor's ballot-box influence. It would, in their opinion, drive living costs to an unbearr able peak, as oiher unions In key industries would be forced to keep up with him in negotiating future contracts. Reuther's Associates Disgruntled His disgruntled AFL-CIO associates recall that they found it necessary to emulate him when he won a modified guaranteed annual wage from the "big three" automobile manu facturers. They realize that they must keep pace with him now or be lost in the scramble for supremacy. Reuther's proposal raises several bread-and-butter problems for his union competi tors. There are many industries David Mc Donald's steel workers and John L. Lewis' coal miners in which a four-day week may not be practical because keeping machinery in operation would be difficult during a three-day layoff. Would Jump Price of Cars In addition to the shorter work-week, it Is understood that the head of the United Auto mobile Workers wants a in per cent increase in the guaranteed wage allowance, as well as other fringe benefits. His overall de mand, it is estimated, would mean a 30-40 per cent increase, which might place automo biles beyond the reach of fairly large pocket books. If management does not or cannot meet his 1958 contract terms, the controversy over this revolutionary development would un doubtedly become a major and sensational issue in the 1958 Congressional and the 1900 national elections. This would become a certainty if Governor G. Menncn Williams of Michigan, Reuther's politically ally some say "protege" should be the Democrats' candidate for the White House in 1960, or if Reuther should be the vice-presidential entry. There is no question in most lhaor leaders' minds that the young man is shooting for Ihe highest stakes. Nixon's Ifl.ifi Prediction Ironically, it was Vice-President Richard M. Nixon who may bo the GOP's Presidential nominee in I960, who first opened the door for Reuther's demand. In the 19")fl cam paign, Nixon declared that tho four-day week would become a reality in the "foreseeable future." Another source of inspiration was the gov ernment's recent report on employment. It said that, for the first time in history, the total engaged in trades, services, communica tions, etc., outnumbered those producing the nation's supply of commodities. It is an awe-inspiring development. It means that, despite the tremendous increase in population and growth of the consumers' market, industrial efficiency and advances enable fewer workers to meet our total need for both luxury and essential articles., Reuther has scired upon that disclosure to argue that labor should enjoy a far larger share of this material enrichment. From the standpoint of politics, economics and union affairs, he has admittedly raised one nf the most erious and far-reaching ques tioni of the 2ft h nehery'l idisial revolu- HAL BOYLE HAL BOYLE as thougn his wanted to tap Morse code of man distrusts unlike a dance step, he can't rehearse and polish it to the perfection he aspires to. World's Greatest Dancer Astaire, who recently completed his 30th film, "Funny Face," in which he co-stars with Audrey Hepburn, will be 58 next month. Here he is unrehearsed: "I have been called the greatest dancer in the world. That is un believably complimentary a n d undeniably erroneous. It rocks me when someone says it.

Therefore, in order to show that We are not KNTIHELY prejudiced, we hasten to point out an area of agreement nowever insignificant. While taking his morning stroll down Park avenue in New York Ihe other day, the ex-President de livered himself of a rather preg nant opinion regarding his' forth coming von! ure into grandfather- hood. He said 'he would adamantly oppose any idea of giving the boy nf such it should bcl his own name. Omitting any comment on brand ing for lite an Innocent child by dubbing him Horry Truman Daniel. we must agree with the incredihle Missouri. that giving a boy the same name as his father or some other relative is sometimes a con siderable inconvenience. We have had a wave of juniors in the last couple of generations. Many families feel it is necessary to give the first born boy his la ther's name. The practise Is going into the third and (fourth genera tions, with Roman numerals tagged after the like-names of Innocent youngsters. Handicap or advantage It is at least confusing. Actually, it may be a manifestation of dynastic tendencies in otherwise democratic people. Truman's adamant opposition will give many parents pause and may even reverse a national trend. Poor junior has found an advocate to rescue him from the shadow nfhia lorbearer.

Much of it is petty and of the sniping sort and much of it is ill-disguised partisan ship. But Mr. Eisenhower is not ruffled by it. What he said to his press conference this week re veals so much tolerance, good na ture and wise understanding that the exact words he used are worth repeating. He said: , "I think I am old enough and philosophical enough to try to sep arate the personal attacks from those that are honest differ- enccs of opin ion and convic tion. The latter. I rcsnect. and Iho . first I iff- . norc. And that is w. the wav I Irv in si nAt,M m,r lira because I have just got one thing to do to do my duty. Lawrence That is' what I am trying to do.' Reporters Push Ike ' The subject came up because the reporters, many of them as usual interested in the trivial gibes and sneers that come from partisans on Capitol Hill, try to obtain the president's reaction to them on the theory that this is news of more importance to their readers than anything else nowa days. - , . Partisan squabbles are impor tant sometimes, but nowadays there would seem to be things far more important than how the President likes the scolding he got because his chauffeur exceeded the speed limit or whether a heli copter procured to move the Pres ident quickly from the White House to an airport might also be used once in a white to transport mm to a golf course. One would think that some of the critics believe the American people begrudge the President an opportunity to main tain his health by regular exer cise. Positive Developments Ignored But aside from the efforts to provnke' party fights and rifts In side his administration, the ques tions at the press conference do reflect to no small extent the as so many news articles describe him to be. Time and patience can bring a peaceful result in the Middle East. It is the Soviet government s turn to worry, as it writes more and more notes complaining about the overseas bases of the Western powers. This is the broad picture ol world affairs and by no means an unimportant one but the Presi dent's press conference this week didn't reveal a single question about the state of affairs ushered in by the reopening of the Suez Canal. Maybe peace isn't interest ing and only friction makes news. The American people, however, arc interested in what their President- has been able to do to keep them out of a war. They are dis posed to regard the carping critics in Washington as a petulant lot of politicians who have not yet learned that the 1958 elections are going to be fought on the issue of whether the country should go on THE OPEN FORUM Neuberger Hits at Capital Journal, Norblad Sore Too To the Editor: , Your recent editorial auacn ui w Senator Morse and me, emmet.

How About Congress Has the Congress, now in con trol of the Democratic party, been more interested in sabotaging for partisan gain the constructive pro grams of the administration than in the public welfare? What vital pieces of legislation nave been blocked? That's news, too. These are the questions of the day, and anyone who studies maneuvers on Capitol Jfill can see plainly the tragic story of partisanship being unfolded there every day. Criticism of Mr. Eisenhower or of any President is logical and de sirable but, when it is filled with personal innuendoes and efforts designed to give the , impression that the President either lacks in tegrity or fidelity to his job, it goes too far. That is why Mr. Eis enhower's own temperate reaction to all this is a salutary example of self-restraint and tolerance. Senator . Morse and I announced on the Senate floor our. support of such, an investigation. This is some material from the statement which I submitted to the Senate: "I intend to support a resolution calling for a Senate investigation of alleged labor racketeering and corruption. I have always been opposed to racketeering and cor ruption in any segment of society. I see no valid objection to an in vestigation by an appropriate com mittee of the Senate, so long as the investigation is fairly con ducted. The funds of dues-payers in unions should be safeguarded from looting and embezzlement." As part of my own voluntary testimony before the McClcllan committee, I said this: "I condemn racketeering by Teamsters. I condemn racketeer ing by the enemies of Teamsters. I condemn lawlcsncss by Team sters. I condemn lawlessness, by the enemies of Teamsters.-These things admit of no division or com promise. There cannot be good racketeering and bad racketeering. All are bad. After my appearance before the committee was ended, my stand received the personal praise of both Chairman McClellan himself and of Senator Ives, the ranking Republican member of the committee. Only recently, the brave and maimed columnist, Victor Riesel, reported that both Oregon sen ators had supported plans for a genuine probe of alleged labor racketeering. For your informa tion, I condemned nearly 11 months ago the cowardly attack upon Mr. Riesel. Senator Morse has likewise been outspoken in DR.
