The Republican spotlight in Con-
gress last week was beamed on the
tax question.
A compromise was reached several
days ago on the income tax question
after months of debate in the House
Ways and Means Committee where
such legislation must originate. One
group insisted upon a 20 per cent
slash in income levies across the
board on all income levels.
Taking heed of hundreds of pro
tests that this 'help the wealthy"
would give the upper income brack-
cts larger share of the cash savings,
another group urged a different
type of income tax cut.
The compromise in effect proposes
Cd 80 per cent on taxable incomes
CATER exemptions and deductions)
of $1,000 or less: (2) 20 per cent
up to 100000 and 90 1O1a per
cent on higher levels
1t is interesting to note that the
largest benefits of this bill will go
to about 20 million small wage earn
ers. SiXty-one per cent of the re-
duction favors persons receiving net
incomes Of $4,000 or less and of this
amount II per cent goes to those
with incomes of less than $4,000.
This plan, as passed by the House
of Representatives by a vote of 273-
1877, would be retroactive to January
l, 1947. 1t has now gone to the Sen
ate Finance, Committee where we
hope it will be acted upon soon.
By voting for this bill, we feel
that income tax reduction will so
stimulate business that the Federal
Government will actually get more
revenue to apply on the huge public
debt of 259 billion dollars.
Of course, we haven't forgotten
the other important phase of our
financial problem-that of Federal
Spending.
President Truman in his January
Budget message to Congress said
that 39.1 billion (including excise
taxes) was the lowest figure possible.
Expenditures were set at 1918 bill
lion and surplus at SIG billion.
A few weeks ago the House of
Representatives set a ceiling of $31.5
billion on spending. The Senate
voted a $45 billion saving. As we
report to you the two chambers had
not yet come to agreement.
You can be sure that we are
keeping a weathered eye on this i'm
portant legislation because we fully
realize that taxes cannot be cut un-
less expenditures are substantially
lowered.
Under The Dome
Last week we attended meeting
of the House Subcommittee of the
Public Works Committee at which
time House Resolution 1874 was ap-
proved. This legislation extends to
one year the time for making ap-
plications for funds under the Fed
eral Aid Highway Act of 1914. I'M
less the time is extended, Maryland
along with other states might lose
the funds already allocated because
of the difficulty surrounding the
the placing, under agreement and
J contract, of such funds.

American Jews Asked
For 283 Millions for
Palestine Aid, Arms
by the Asseeiofsd Press

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Dec. H..
American Jewry was asked today
to provide $283, ,156,000 for aid to
Palestine in 1948, Of which 2S,000,-
900 would be earmarked for the
purchase Of arms to equip Judean
army Of tens Of thousands of
men"
Eliezer Kaplan of Jerusalem,
treasurer Of the Jewish Agency for
Palestine. told $500 delegates to
the national conference of the
United Jewish Appeal a full-time
army must be recruited to meet
current Arab threats of holy war.
He set no estimate of strength
other than the army should COM
prise tens of thousands"
I'VE have the manpower to de-
fend and secure the Jewish state,
but we need the help of the Jews
Of America to purchase the
necessary equipment and to pro-
vide for the training and mainte-
nance of the defense forces Of the
Jewish state" Mr.. Kaplan said.
5000 Needed In Tel Avtv.
The $4,000 900 arms request is
seven times greater than the amount
expended by UJA for Palestinian
security costs in 1947.
AS soon as British troops withdraw
} from Tel Aviv and its environs-a
; move scheduled for December 15-a
police force" of 5000 men will be
needed to maintain order in that
area alone, Mr.. Kaplan said.
Hagana, the Jewish Agency militia,
has sufficient trained manpower "to
meet any eventuality," Mr.. Kaplan
said, adding:
"Unruly elements will be taught
that irresponsible acts will not be
tolerated. Hagana will enforce a
peace guaranteeing equal security
for Jews and Arabs In the Jewish
state"
Mr.. Kaplan said $95 ,434, 900 will be
. needed to absorb and settle $4,000
homeless European Jews in Palestine
, next year. The Jewish Agency will
give priority to $4,000 orphaned chill
dren, he said.
Other Expenditures Listed.
Other items requiring huge ex-
penditures. Mr.. Kaplan said, are
land acquisition, $57,80O,000; agri-
culture, $27,5O0,0G0; urban develop
ment, $25 100000; loan service, $19,-
100000; colonization activities, $10,-
794,000, and education and culture,
$5,OO0,O0O.
Mr. Kaplan likened an influx Of
$4,000 Jews into Palestine to the
arrival Of 100000 persons in the
United States in year. He told
the delegates there is no panic"
among Jews in Palestine and the
Jewish Agency foresaw the current
disturbances.
Mayors of many Arab villages, he
said, advised the agency "they do
not want any trouble and that they
are opposed to the disturbances"
Earlier former Secretary of the
Treasury Henry Morgenthau, jr.,
termed 1948 the turning point in
Jewish history and declared Amer
lean Jewry will measure up to the
requirements Of this miraculous
