The G. O. P.s Tax Cut
By Jay G. Hayden

Republican congressional leaders are
all set to reduce individual income taxes
by 20 per cent, but how long this cut
will stick may depend on the course Of
American Russian relations, and ability
to curb the seemingly Unsuitable appetite
Of war veterans for Government doles.
This is so because 1t Is unthinkable
that taxes will be cut without commen-
slTate reduction In expenditures and
Just under three-nfths Of current ape
propriations are for national defense
and veterans pensions and benefits.
The United States scarcely can reduce
much further its already heavily cur
tailed wartime military and naval
establishments. unless Russia does ike
wise.
And while there Is no such necessity
for maintenance Of the existing high
level OF veterans prerequisites, political
pressure in support Of them Is terrific.

Federal Service PRESTIGE

AS Civil Service Commissioner
Arthur s. Flemming is not given to
headline crashing for selfish pur-
poses, his dramatically succinct
statement at Princeton University
that the Federal service is not held
in. high esteem by the general public
cannot be lightly ignored. Mr..
Flemming speaks as friend and
defender of the faithful and ef1cient
career" employees Of the Govern
ment and Of the civil service system
which he helps to administer. He
intends no reflection on these tried
and trusted workers when he voices
the unfortunate fact that public
service no longer holds the attrac-
ton which 1t once held for aspiring
young men and women pondering q
vocation.
The reluctance Of many college
graduates to enter Government
service has been painfully apparent
to the Civil Service Commission in
connection with efforts to obtain
applicants Of suitable qualifications
for the increasingly important ad-
ministrative and technical jobs Of
today's complex governmental estab-
lishment. There is grave danger,
Mr.. Flemming says, that Federal
laboratories, key posts in interna-
tional relations and other vital posi-
tions will be filled by second rate
men instead OF the top-ranking
variety which the responsibilities
require.
Why this lack Of interest In serving
the Nation In civil life? Mr.. Flem-
ming, places first among the causes
the unattractiveness OF Federal
salaries In the higher executive and
scientific positions. This Is not q
newly exposed defect having been
the subject of repeated appeals to
Congress by the commission but It
is handicap that has grown In
seriousness since the close Of World
War II. Many top-hight physicists,
chemists and other professional men
who were willing to serve on Federal
research and development projects
during the war have left the Coy
ernment to take more remunerative
jobs in private industry. Congress
has placed a $4,000 ceiling on
salaries for such men,, Here is q
ceiling that should be lifted in the
interest Of better Government. Mr..
Flemming believes that the Govern
ment should not only pay its tech
nical men higher salaries, but should
provide them with opportunities for
advancement through in-service
training and outside study under q
furlough systez, Just s private
industry does. -
with these and similar induce
ments, there il no good reason why

the interest Of good government and
improving conditions during peace
times. Only intense partisanship could
argue otherwise. Only the other day
Mr.. Wallace spoke hopefully Of a Re-
publican mess" as the only means to
bring the liberals into power again.
President Truman, accepting in a
sportsmanlike manner the defeat of his
party at the polls. has now made an
oner to work as far as possible with the
Republican majorities In Congress. II
he had his tongue In his cheek he gave
no evidence Of it. He made q straight
forward statement and gave every evi-
dence he intended to live up to It. II
he does. he's likely 10 emerge much
stronger and more impressive figure at
the end Of the next two years.
Republican proposals % far advanced
BY congressional leaders look to I'd an
early reduction Of income taxes by 20
per cent, (2) materiA slashing Of gov
ernmental expenditures and Govern
ment bureaus and q balanced budget,
and CD the elimination Of war powers
granted the Executive. If the Demo-
cratic President and the Republican
Congress are able to agree on legislation
to meet these objectives, it does not
appear that any principles or policies Of
basic Importance, of either party, will
be jeopardized. The only policy which
may be hit Is that which was dear to
the hearts Of the radicals in the Roose-
welt administration. that is, to take
money from one group in the country
and give 1t to another by Federal taxa
tion and Federal distribution.
There are many other matters which
require attention, over which the Demo-
cratic President and the Republican
Congress may split. One of these Is
amendment Of the Wagner Labor Rela-
tions Act, although there are ihdica-
tions that Mr.. Truman will go along
with any reasonable changes In that
statute. Furthermore, the Republicans
in Congress, In all probability, win have
the cooperation Of q goodly share Of
the Democrats In drafting remedial
labor legislation. The radical fringe,
which dominated Congress, has been
largely removed through the means of
the recent elections. Also, Mr.. Wallace,
the pet Of the CIO-PAC, has been re-
moved from the Government-by action
OF the President.
The Republicans In Congress win
make mess Of things If they seek to
increase tariff barriers, as they did after
the first World War, and II they under
take to scuttle the country's national
defense as measure of economy. But
there Is no compelling reason for them
to make fools of themselves.

to accept American demands, the ante

Peron agreed to ouSt ~ alleged Nazis
from Argentina and the Ambassador
jubihntly conveyed the information
from Buenos Aires, he was amazed to
receive note from Washington saying
that the number Of these exclusions
should be raised to 100.
Right or wrong, there Is feeling in
Government circles, not only In Buenos
Aires but in other important South
American capitals, that the friction be-
tween the United States and Argentina
which has delayed the effective imple-

information as that Argentina con-
templates attacking the southern tip
