Ike Backs Missouri Water Plan

The policy has been heatedly at

Ike Message
WASHINGTON MY The renc-
ition of Washington and Oregon
pnembers of Congress to President
Eisenhower's State of tho Union
message Thursday ranged from un
qualified approval to lukewurm
praise and included a charge by
Sen. Morse (Ind-Ore) the address
ivas a "masterpiece of platitudes."
' Sen. Cordon (R-Ore said the
message was "exactly what the
Iramers of Uie Constitution envi
sioned when they provided for Uie
President to give his views to Con
gress. .
While saying he was in "broad
igreement" on foreign policy and
mtlonal defense, Sen. Jackson (1
rVash) said he held reservations on
ilie nation's ability to reduce ap
ropriations for national defense.
Jackson said the President's
tatcment of conservation of re
iources left him "terribly dlsap
ioimea." i
"The people of the Northwest,"
e said, -"cannot draw any en-!
uuragement from the President's
lessage Insofar as power and wa- !
Lcr resources development are con
cerned." Sen; Magnuson expressed slm
Inr views. He said he understood
1 there are cuts in tills field (re
ourcea development) already in
lucicd in the budget."
Rpps. Westland and Pelly, both
Washington Republicans, praised

Washington set out last year on
another survey. The Post Office
Department's bureau of facilities

Uie central city area.
It timed the horse-drawn wagons
against truck delivery in the cen

It compared these statistics with
past experiments. There were lots
of comparative statistics because
this thing has been going on for
30 years.
Their decision made the hardiest
of them weep:
There's Just no better way to get
the mall through central city traf

wagon.
It takes a horse and wagon to
get through narrow back streets
to the rear entrances of business

Solons Demand More Tax
Cuts Than Outlined In Ike
Message To Congress
By CIIARMCS F. BARRETT
WASHINGTON President Ei
senhower's tax program lell iar
short today of satisfying strong ap
petites on Capitol Hill for tax cuis
in this Congressional election year.
Almost to a man, both Republi
cans and Democrais on the House
Ways and Means Committee, where
all tax bills must start, called lor
more or bigger reductions than the
President proposed.
One influential Republican. Ren.
Richard M. Simpson (Pa), said to
day he would favor a sweeping
slash of all excise taxes except
on liquor and tobacco down to 10
per cent. Rates on many items
now run from 15 to 25 per cent.
Eisenhower, in his state ol the
union address yesterday, declared
further reductions in taxes can
and will be made ... as additional
reductions in expenditures are
brought gradually but surely Into
sight."
But the President didn't hint
when, or where, new cuts might
come.
And he renewed a plea for Con
gress to cancel three billion dol
lars In annual tax reductions now
set automatically for April 1. These
cuts would apply to corporation in
comes and excises on liquor, auto
mobiles, gasoline, cigarettes, beer,
wine and sporting goods.
House Speaker Joseph W. Martin
Jr. R-Mass) conceded Uie tax pro-
private utilities for government
power, endangers the traditional
priority cooperatives and public
agencies have had to federally pro
duced energy as "preference" cus
tomers.
But Eisenhower took ft sharp
stand of disagreement with the
policy's opponents in a letter made
public Friday. In the letter, writ
ten to Sen. Hunt (D-Wyo), the
President said flatly:
"It is clear that no preference
customer's rights could possibly
be jeopardized."
"In the interest of every tax
payer," the President said, "it is
essential that when the new power
in the Missouri Basin comes into
production in 11154 such power be
put to use and converted into rev
enue forthwith."
Hunt was one of 28 senators who
wrote Eisenhower asking him to
delay the Jan. 1 effective date of
the power policy until it could be
thoroughly examined by Congress,
Eisenhower outlined his conclu.
slons of the power policy as fol
lows:
"1. The Jan. 1, 1954 date does
not have the significance that you I
seem to attribute to it. The De
partment of the Interior merely re
quested the various preference cus
tomers to indicate to Uie depart
ment In a preliminary way by Jan.
1 their requirements for power.
Until final contracts have been
signed by tho department with
preference customers, there will
be ample time for the preference
customers to make changes in their
requirements if they so desire, as
well as ample time for Congress
to examine Uie marketing criteria.
"2. Even after contracts have
been entered into with preference
customers, their future needs for
additional power will bo met to
the extent of power available. That
Is to say, power available at the
time of contract negotiations with
the preference customers but not
needed by them until a later date
will be reserved for them by dis
posal under short-term interim con
tracts with other customers so that
It will be available to Uie prefer
ence customers when they desire
It."
Employment
Picture Told
SAN FRANCISCO 11 Seasonal
trends depressed nonfarm employ
ment In the 11 western states in
November.
This report came Friday from
Max. D. Kossorls, Western regional
director of the Department of La
bor's Bureau of Labor statistics.
He placed the total of these work
ers In the 11 states at 6,591,000
in November, xiown 107,000 from
a year ago. The total of 5,126,000
workers In the three Pacific Coast
states was still 46,000 above a year
earlier while the total of 1,460,000
in the eight Mountain states was
less than 1 per cent under last
year.
The average weekly wage of
these nonfarm workers was higher
than a year ago except In Oregon
and Idaho. It was higher In all
states than the national average of
$71.02 for November.
Pacific Coast workers averaged
fewer working hours per week in
November, following the national
trend, but the decline was slight.

Malan Plan
Falls Flat
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
Iff! Premier Daniel Malan's Na
tionalist government has failed to
sell its racial sejircRfttion program
to South Africa's most moderate
group of native leaders.
outright rejection of Milan's
Apartheid (segregation) program
was voted yesterday at the con
clusion of the four-day Location
Advisory Boards Congress the
moderate native croup. Speakers
from both national and municipal
governments had explained in de
tail to the Congress the Apartheid
program, Including plans for re
moving natives from overcrowded
municipal areas to less populated
sections.
The Malan spokesmen said the
relocation would reduce racial
friction.
The Nationalist government has
advised an educational program
for natives different from that for
Whites. A government representa
tive at the Congress said the pro
gram for the natives would better
equip them for the place the Mai-
anites think they should have in
south African society.
gram probably would be the tough
est to enact among Eisennowei-'t
many proposals. 'I rather expect
that is wnere we will have our
bluest difficulty.' he told re
porters. Out of 13 of the 25 Ways and
Means members reached for com
ment, only one - Rep. Goodwin
(RMass did not call for some
tax cms now. The emphasis was
heavy on cuts in excise or sales
taxes, indicating that is the field
where the big battles may come.
Eisenhower did not mention ex
cise taxes other than those sched
uled to decline April 1. This coulo.
leave the door open for him to pro
pose cuts in a detailed tax and
budget message later but Con
gressmen generally expected the
administration to try to hold excise
revenues to present levels.
Die President did not renew his
1953 request for Congress to cancel
the Jump from l'b to 2 per cent in
the social security tax which
took effect Jan. 1. Administration
sources said it was dropped be
cause of a forthcoming program of
nigncr Dene its.
Ways and Means Chairman Dan
iel A. Reed (R-NY). who waged a
spectacular battle against admin
istration tax policy last year, said
he was "delighted", at the Presi
dent's full support for a tax revis
ion program now being developed
by the committee and the Treas
ury.
This program is expected to re
duce revenue about $1,300,000,000
through a rewriting of the tax laws
to remove alleged Inequities.
But Reed already has served no
tice he favors excise tax cuts and
will strongly oppose extending the
present top corporation income tax
rate of 52 per cent. It is scheduled
to drop to 47 per cent on April 1.
rerseiy, tteea saia: "Those mat
ters will receive the attention of
our committee as soon as its work
on the revision program permits."
That was expected to be weeks
away, perhaps leaving little time
to cancel the scheduled cuts before
April 1.
There were indications Reed
would support the excise tax
slashes to 10 per cent mentioned
Simpson, who played a bit part
in pushing through the administra
tion's tax program last year.
Bringing all excises except liquor
and tobacco down to 10 per cent re
portedly would cost 940 million dol
lars in revenue. The scheduled au
tomatic excise cuts would cost only
160 million more.
Under the proposal Simpson
mentioned, the new 10 per cent
rate would apply to furs, jewelry.
cosmetics, luggage, women's hand-
oags, an admissions, pnotograpnic
equipment, light bulbs and safe de
posit boxes (all now taxed at 20
per cent); to lighters, pens, me
chanical pencils, local telephone
calls and personal transportation
(all now 15 per cent): and to long
distance telephone calls (now 25
per cent).
Chairman Millikfn (R-Colo) of
the Senate Finance Committee
said he was encouraged by Elsen
hower's assurance of further tax
reductions as finances permit.
Sen. George (Ga), senior Demo
crat on the Finance Committee,
suggested a compromise at a 50
per cent corporation income tax
rate an idea also widely sup
ported by ways and means mem
bers.
