Urqe Veto of Tax Reduction Bill
Br W. A. RYSER
Written For United Prwi
London (U.PJ The sudden
reshuffle of the Soviet govern
ment Monday night has brought
new faces into the heavy indus
try program and apparently
shoved ex-Premier Georgi M
Malenkov farther out of the
picture.
Soviet experts assumed Mal
enkov still was deputy premier
since his dismissal was not an
nounced. But his failure to gain
mention in the shakeup order
made it clear the fallen premier
was being passed over for pro
motion.
Premier Nikolai A. Bulganin
now becomes head of a group of
five deputy premiers: Vyache-
slav M. Molotov, Lazar M. Ka-
ganovich, Anastas I. Mikoyan,
Maxim Z. Saburov and Mikhail
G. Pervukhin.
These six men who now head
the government constitute a
Presidium of the Council of
Ministers. They also are mem-
mers of the Communist Party's
Presidium, a body consisting of
nine men.
Now Deputies Appointed
The government Presidium
as appointed does not include
the remaining three members of
the Communist Party Presidium
Supreme Soviet President
Klient Voroshilov, First Secre
tary Nikita Khrushchev, and
Malenkov.
In addition to this extension
of the group of first deputy pre
miers, four new deputy pre
miers were appointed; A. B. Za
vinghin, M. V. Krunichev, Pa
val P. Lobanov and V. A. Ku
charenkov. They are industrial
or agricultural experts.
Soviet experts here said it was
not clear whether Malenkov,
Alexei N. Kosygin and V. A.
Malyshev have retained their
positions as deputy premiers.
Moscow, though not announcing
their dismissal, ignored them
completely.
The newly-appointed deputy
premiers are assumed to be sup
porters of the ruling Molotov
Bulganin group. They are main
ly heavy industry experts.
The promotion of Lobanov,
who is an agricultural expert, is
believed to be significant. It
may mean that Khruschev will
cease being the sole overlord of
all Soviet agricultural matters.
The Presidium of the govern
ment thus seems to fall into
three distinct groups:
1. Bulganin and Molotov as
the two top political bosses.
2. A group of four first deputy
premiers who are all highly
trained veteran specialists and
overlords of groups of minis
tries: Kaganovich (transport and
general supervision of heavy in
dustry); Mikoyan (trade); Pervu
khin (electricity . and - other
energy recourses); and Saburov
(chairman of the economic plan).
3. A group of eight junior
deputy premiers in charge of
special technical ministries or
groups of ministries.
. Experts said the latest re
organization reflects the newly
announced modification of the
Soviet economic program and
foreign policy and especially
emphasis on heavy industry that
has been the theme of Soviet
propaganda for several months.
Washington OI.R) Senate
Republican Leader William F.
Knowland said today he believes
the Treasury Department will
urge President Eisenhower to ve
to the pending tax bill if it in
cludes the Democratic proposed
$20 tax cut for everybody.
Knowland made the statement
after the weekly White House
conference of Republican legis
lative leaders with President
Eisenhower. He refused to say
whether Mr. Eisenhower had in
dicated to the leaders whether
he might veto the measure.
At the same time, Leon Key

former Medford resident and a
past president of the Oregon
Log and Lumber Truckers
league, (formerly the Southern

resenting the league at the ses
sion of the state legislature in
Salem, it was announced today.
The league was organized in
Medford in 1947 by a group of
truckers and mill men.
Other current league activi
ties include promotion of a safe
ty program, under the direction
of Gene H. Foresee, Medford
trucker. The league is conduct
ing a study on safe transporta
tion of lumber and logs, from
both a practical and legal stand
point. All truckers are being urged
to check their vehicles and
v equipment before start of the
1955 hauling season, according
to Foresee.

President Truman's Council of
Economic Advisers, testified that
the proposed $20 per person in
come tax reduction, is exactly
what is needed to help reduce
unemployment and improve bus
iness. He told the Senate Finance
committee that unless the gov
ernment takes some such action,
unemployment probably will be
come worse. He said it was "pre
posterous" to contend, as Presi
dent Eisenhower, has, that the
tax cut would touch off serious
inflation.
The House by a vote of 210
to 205 last week tacked the $20
tax cut proposal onto an admin
istration bill to continue for one
year the present corporation and
excise taxes which are due to
drop April 1.

tee, which planned to vote on
the proposal after hearing Key-
Seven Lepers Flee
Marine Hospital
In Louisiana
Carville, La. (U.R) U.S. Pub
lic Health authorities today
sought seven lepers who escaped
from the U.S. Marine Hospital
here just 24 hours before they
were to be returned to their na
tive Virgin Islands.
Dr. E. M. Gordon, medical of
ficer in charge of the leprosa
rium, warned that four of them
"should be isolated" but the em
phasized that leprosy is only
"feebly communicable.." He
said the disease is almost im
possible for any healthy adult
to contract.
He said four of the patients
were "active" cases and the
others were "arrested" cases.
Further Treatment Due
Gordon said the active cases
"should be isolated." They were
to receive further treatment in
the Virgin Islands.
We have done all we can for
them," Gordon said. "They can
get the same treatment at their
homes."
Gordon said he could not dis
close whether the patients had
been disfigured by leprosy,
known medically as Hansen's
Disease.
Hospital authorities said all
seven could speak English and
may have hitch-hiked a ride aft
er leaving the hospital, appar
ently through a hole in the
hospital fence.
serling today, was expected to
recommend against the tax cut.
Key Democrats on the commit
tee, including Chairman Harry
F. Byrd (D-Va.), have joined Re
publicans in opposing the cut.
Knowland told reporters he is
"very hopeful" the Senate will
reject the tax cut, which would
be effective next Jan. 1. He said
he also believed the Senate
would be effective next Jan.
1. He said he also believed the
Senate would reject any com
promise plan, such as some Dem
ocrats are trying to work out,
to postpone all or part of the
tax relief until later.
Knowland said he based his
belief the Treasury would rec
ommend a veto on the strength
of the arguments- made by Sec
retary George M. Humphrey
against the proposed tax reduc
tion. Humphrey told the Senate
Finance committee yesterday
that a Jan. 1 tax cut would hurt
"little folks" more than it
would help them, by causing in
flation. Keyserling sharply challeng
ed this argument.
"The most recent economic
trends make it clear that great
deflationary dangers loom ahead
while the danger of inflation
. . . is negligible," Keyserling
said.
As We Live
There are many happy mar
riages in which the wife is five
or more years older than the
husband. The question, how
ever, is one of maturity rather
than of years.
(Q) "There is a girl I am very
niuch in love with. I am only
18 years old and a senior in
high school, while she is 23
and works as a secretary.
Some of my friends say she is
loo old for me and people
would talk about our ages.
Others say that age makes no
difference if people love each
other. My teacher, for ex
ample, says he knows a fam
ily where the wife is 10 years
older than the husband and
it is a very successful mar
riage. Should I keep on trying
tc get her as a girlfriend and
to go steady, or should I stop
seeing her because of the dif
ference in our ages? Her
friends tell me she likes me
also. What should I do?"
(A) By all means keep on see
ing her if both of you enjoy
being together. But for the pres
ent,; don't en
tertain any
serious
thoughts
about going
steady or
e ventually
marrying her.
While the
difference in
your ages may
Dr. Hurlock not be great,
the difference in the degree of
maturity you and she have at
tained doubtless is. After all,
you are still a school boy, while
she is working and able to sup
port herself.
As a result of her experience
in the business world, she has
the outlook on life of a mature
woman. You, on the other hand,
By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D.
have the outlook of a schoolboy,
even if you have had some ex
perience in the business world
in after-school jobs.
Until you are settled in busi
ness and know what you can do
snd want to do, you are in no
position to think seriously about
marriage. This young . woman,
on the other hand, has reached
the age when many girls are
ready to marry.
If you try to monopolize her
time, you will cut her off from
opportunities to meet men who
are ready for marriage. This
would not be fair to her. You
should not interpret it to mean
that she does not like you, if she
refuses to go steady with you.

WASHDAY WAS DRUDGERY in Grandmother's dayr.-.- long hours of sweating,
straining, back-breaking work. Today's housewife uses a modern washer and dryer.
Manufacturers have reduced washday chores to a turn of a diaL,
But to mass produce millions of washers and dryers, manufacturers must
be able to sell them by the millions. Only by advertising can a manu-'
facturer talk to millions of people at one time.
ADVERTISING TELLS the story of new home appliances . and helps sell them.
The more it sells, the more must be made keeping the production lines and the jobs
going. The result: newer, better home appliances at prices more people can afford
to pay. Advertising helped make the difference in home appliances, and in our
American way of life.
