Paus Utility OfIncome
Tax Cut Is Study Topic
Revenue Group Trying To
Determine Extent OF
Slash
By SANDER S. KLEIN

WASHINGTON, July 81 W.D -
A study to determine if individual
income taxes can be cut next year
and if so, how much-is now
underway by the joint COMPRESSION
al internal revenue committee, it
was learned tonight.
The committee also is looking
into all aspects of corporate tax
changes which might serve as an
incentive to industrial production
without impairing the govern
fment's income.
But its findings may wind up
in a congressional pigeonhole.
President Truman has said en-
phatically that present high tax
rates should be retained next year
in an effort to balance the budget
and perhaps pay off a bit of the
1858, 281, DOC, 900 national debt.
The committees study there
fore is only a preparedness meas
ure" in case Mr.. Truman has a
change of heart or congress de-
cides to do something about it
regardless.
The outcome of the November
congressional elections may have
a strong bearing on tax cuts next
year. Top-ranking house Republi-
cans are issuing statements say
ing in effect: Elect a Republi-
can congress and we'll cut your
taxes by 20 per cent"
The House Ways and Means
committee, where all tax legisla-
ton originates, has before it sew
eral bills aimed at dropping the
wartime increases in excise taxes
on items such as furs, theater
tickets, long distance phone calls
and jeWelry. But the committee
has considered one seriously and
they are fated to die when con-
greSs adjourns next week.
Some ways and means commit
tee members indicated that thought
might be given next year to elimi-
nation of the wartime excise
boosts.
No definite program has been
set for the ways and means com
mittee when the next congress
meets in January. 1t was under
stood, however, that it may hold
hearings On the whole question of
tax exemptions now contained in
the law.
This would cover c~ooperatives,
educational institutions and other
bodies now specifically exempted
from federal taxation. The study
would seek to determine whether
these exempt organizations and in
stitutions r engaged in business
es which have no direct relation
ship to the functions which plac-
ed them in a tax-free category.

was the Wallace incident. Mr..
Wallace, 1t will be remembered, got
the Presidents permission to make
a speech in New York, got the Presi-
dent to indorse his sentiment and
got fired by the President for max
ing the speech.
Then there was the meat situ-
alton. Certain equivorous Republic
cans please take note! On Septem-
ber 27. the President said that he
would not ask for the decontrol Of
meat. He also said that abandon
ment of the price control of meat
would add to, rather than solve, our
difficulties. He backed up his po-
sition by saying that certainly, the
dire predictions of meat famine are
without basis" Two weeks later he
decontrolled meat.
Then there was the celebrated
episode of budget-balancing. Sew
eral weeks ago he announced that
he anticipated a balanced budget
for the coming year. After his
bosom pal, Treasury Secretary
John w. Snyder, no less, expressed
some panied surprise. Mr.. Truman
said that he hadn't meant a bal
anced budget but a budget In
balance.
President Truman was little
testy about the whole thing. his
position being that, after all, the
clever reporters of the land ought
to understand that there was a diff
ference between a balanced budget
and a budget in balance, especially

The ultimate was reached in a
recent advertisement by depart
ment store which shall remain un-
named except that it starts with
&c" and ends with "imbel's," which
appeared in New York newspapers.
This advertisement urged Americans
to buy new and revolutionary ice
cream freezer which makes home
made ice cream In 80 seconds. I was
too Mortified to read the complete
details of how this gadget works but
am sure 1t said something like
this:
Does your family like ice cream?
Yum!-Yum!-Yum! Well, now
the the whole family can have 1t
at a moments notice. Just insert the
platinum plug in the nearest wall
switch and before Bing Crosby has
finished singing 'Adesti Pennies
from the, Old OK Road (Which is
automatically turned on when the
churner gets to operating) you'll
have pint Of crystal-free ice cream
like mother used to make"
Here's where start my pitch.
Engineers have stepped just lit
tie bit too far in eliminating the
old fashioned freezer. I say this not
only because the ice cream produced
in 80 seconds cannot conceivably
compare with the Georgia peach
and-whipping-cream ambrosia of
the turn-of -of-the-century McLemore
household but because 1t will inevi-
tably create generation of weak
lings.
The men who made this country
churned ice cream. They hardened
their biceps and broadened their
shoulders on good old wooden
bucket White Mountain ice cream
freezer.
The first five minutes of crankins
it on a Sunday morning was pure
fun. Then 1t began to stiffen up as
the Ice and salt and the factory
corroded gears and crank offered
stubborn resistance. The little fel-
lows in the house cranked during
the easy time. Then the big boys
were called into action. When I was
born, a boy knew he had reached
mans estate when he was given the
job of making the last rs turns OF
the crank That was tough going
You had to sit on the floor and put
the bucket between your legs. About
every fifth turn caused an ice jam
worthy of the Yukon and the only
way to break it was to reverse the
crank, then shift back into low and
pour on the elbow grease.
I remember the family consulta-
tions as to when it was frozen
enough to quit cranking. Then came
the most dramatic moment of all
the removal of the top of the freezer
and the withdrawal of the dasher.
How to keep the salt out?-that was
the question. There was no way to
keep the salt out. 1t always got in
and an eighth of an inch of ice
cream had to be scraped from the
top.
Then the churn was wrapped In
burlap bag and the burlap bag
wrapped in newspapers, so that when
the family came home from church
and had finished dinner the ice
cream would be ready for dessert.
Ice cream in 80 seconds?
