NEW TAX PROPOSALS

Beardsley Ruml whose plan to put the personal income tax on pay-as-you-go basis while forgivng one wears tax was adopted in slightly modified form by Congress four years ago is making some new pro- posals concerning the management of the Federal finances.
 One Of the new Ruml proposals is that Congress fix taxes with reference to the consolidated cash budget instead of the conventional budget The lat ter-the regular budeet-omits number of important financial transactions between the Federal Govern ment and the people, such portions of the money paid into various Government insurance funds. The consolidated cash budget used by the Council of Eco homie Advisers in showing the effect Of the Federal finances on the economy as a whole, includes all Of these transactions lying outside the regular budget
 Tn earlier days the difference between the regular budget and the consolidated cash budget was un- important During the fiscal year ending June 30 1947 however it amounted to approximately SIX ol- lion dollars. While the regular budget showed a small surplus the consolidated cash budget was in the black by more than billions In other words, the cash withdrawn from the public by the Government was about six billion dollars more than the regular budget income Part of this went to build up the reserves of insurance funds-veterans, Government employees and the od-age and survivors system
 That excess of receipts helped to curb imitation In the event of a recession, however. such drair on purchasing power would tend to prevent recovery
 MT Rums point is that in fixing taxes, Congress should consider all the income and outgo of the Fed eral Government not merely the conventional budget tax reduction which would put the conventional budget in the red might still have the consolidated cash budget in the black
 MT. Ruml makes another proposal That part of the cost of the Marshall program for Europe be financed by selling Government bonds instead Of through taxation. The part that is in the nature Of relief or which unlikely to be repaid with interest would be financed out of taxation. The part build or modernize industrial plants in Europe would be financed by borrowing from the public the

theory being that this part would be repaid with in- terest by European borrowers.
 This second proposal is in keeping with orthodox private finance A number of national governments also have made it practice separate investments in revenue producing sef-liqudating projects from current expenditures, financing the former by bor rowing from the public.

Whiskey Boys Retaliate-Goyern- ment officials sitting in on the se- c, ct food talks say privately that the beer boys are tougher than the whiskey boys-and the latter are tough enough. After food czar Luckman had obtained a whiskey holiday from the distillers, they held a SC ret meeting ill New York in order to retaliate, One proposal was that distillers who weren't con- suited by Luckman would continue making alcohol, selling same to other distlllers.
 Distillers had secured a letter from Attorney General Tom Clark permitting them to cooperate for purposes of the whiskey holiday without violating the Antitrust Act. Now they are using this let ter to ccperate on other matters. One is a propaganda campaign to show up Lucknan.
 Criticism of Luckman closely paralleling the dlstillers' ballyhoo wss published last week in George Sokclsky's column. He said: Why cut the distillers and the brewers and not the soap companies? Not word is said about reducing the | consumption of fats
 It is not known how close Sokcl- sky is to the brewers. He was once exposed by Senate investigation
 as having been paid sl4O00 by Tom ! Girdler Of Republic Steel. and s6,- i coo b. the National Association of , Manufacturers at the very same tme he was writing for newspa- pers.
 Mrs. .Pappy7 ODaniel, wife of ! the reacuonary Texas Senator, also
 informed a Senate committee that Soko,sky was cne of her husbands ghcst writers. Incidentally, less grain fed to hogs and cattle means ! less fat fer Luckman's soap com i pany-and he is relentlessly urging I less fattenlng on the feed lots. tcoPYEIGHT, 1947, BELL sYEDIcATE INc)

 Furthermore, the Russians figure they can get what they want by political means. Most signifi- cant key to the fact that Russia doesn't want war is that the So- viets always try to ride out war. They made a deal with Hitler in the last war in order to stay on the sidelines. and the last thing they want is war now with the United States. We are very far from war" concluded Kennan.

MARSHALL GETS BACK

Soviet alive Makes Bitter Attack,
 Western Powers

LONDON, Dec. 12ZR-Ameri- can officials reported tonight So- viet Foreign Minister Molotov had renewed his bitter attacks on the Western Powers in the Foreign Ministers Council today and Sec retary of State Marshall told him in response:
 Tt is very difficult to have any respect for the dignity of the So- viet government
 First information on today's re- portedly stormy meeting was that Molotov offered no compromise on outstanding issues before the coun- Gil, but instead lambasted the poli- cies of the Western Powers in Ger many.
 American informants said that British Foreign Secretary Bevin commented to the council, when Molotov had finished, that what had been said was a whole series of insults and complete untruth and Mclotov might at least have the courtesy to thank the other ministers for sitting through such statement.

DEADLINE FOR VETS
 TO REIN5TATE LIFE
 INSURANCE I5 NEAR

Realization that the deadline for reinstating National Service Life Insurance without a physical ex- animation is now less than a month off has given impetus to veterans who are putting their insurance back in force in large numbers, Veterans Administration figures re- vealed today
 After December 31, a physical ex- animation will be required to re- instate c. l. insurance if it has lapsed fer more than three months. At the present time, term insur- ance may be reinstated without a physical examination in most cases, and the cost of reinstate- ment is only two monthly prem iums.
 In the month of November 6l Alaska veterans reinstated Nation al Service Life Insurance with a face value of s322,000. while in the : four Pachie Northwest states and Alaska, 2450 veterans reinstated policies with a total value of $l6,- 106,500
 In the past 10 months, 1880 AL askan veterans reinstated $1l ,406,- eco worth of National Service Life Insurance, and in the entire Pacific Northwest area, reinstatements to- taled .48,690, with face value oi more than 330 million dollars.
 The VA emphasized that G. I. insurance is a special benefit available only to World War II veterans, and offers the hest and lowest cost protection available. Veterans who dropped this insur- ance protection are urged to visit their nearest VA office to learn how easily and inexpensively th1s insurance protection may be put back in force.
