By the Assoeiatsd Press

A tax reduction move-"played in
hearts instead Of diamonds" was
proposed yesterday by Representa-
tive Helen Gahagan Douglas Demo
crat Of California;, with emphasis
on tax relief for the lower income
groups.
Her proposal: A fiat 500 income
tax cut for each taxpayer and each
dependent.
Mrs. Douglas said she will intro
duce her bill in the house tomor-
row. She described it as the first
tax bill guaranteeing "the same re-
duction in income tax to every in
dividual taxpayer regardless of the
amount of his income"
A single taxpayers obligation
would be reduced by 500 year
II the taxpayer had a wife and
three children he would owe $500
less.
Mrs. Douglas estimated her meas
ure would cut Federal tax revenue
more tan $4,000, 100000 a year, but
she figured this and more could be
made up by reenacting the wartime
excess profits tax on corporations

Ball Wants Assurance
Foreign Aid Has $3.50
Chance Of Results
by ths Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 13.-Sena-
tor Ball, Republican, of Minnesota
said today the Marshall plan would
raise European standards of living
'in most cases above prewar levels"
but added he wants assurance that
our expenditures stand at least a
$3.50 chance of achieving results"
Declaring the time may have come
for "a little interfering" in the in
ternal affairs of those nations which
are seeking long-range help under
the Marshall plan, the Senator
added:
They don't have to take our
money if they don't want it. Being
an international Santa Claus is be-
coming a bit too expensive"
The Senator, who addressed the
Foreign Policy Association, also sug-
gested a change in the handling OF
such aid.
Il am very certain that If the ad-
ministration is left free to pursue
the policies it has pursued in the
past it will fail again.
He said the Marshall plan should
be approved only if:
France agrees to tie her zone
in Germany to the British anc
American zones.
2-"Many countries" agree to re-
wise their foreign exchange rates
under which 'the foreign importer
must pay double or more than the
true value Of any goods he buys, ir
terms of his own currency"
3-Britain agrees to ship 900 ,00t
tons of coal month to the rest O.
Europe.
Senator Ball asserted mo aid pro
gram can be put on humanitarian
basis = -. Congress has no powe
under the Constitution to appro
pirate public money for CHART,
abroad - The only basis on whicl
Congress can act is that our aid II
Europe will advance the interests
national welfare and security of tn

|Of 500 for Each Individual

Her bill also would repeal the pres

and telephone and telegraph service
which, she said, "discriminates"
against Western consumers and
producers.
Mrs. Douglas voiced her proposals
in the wake of reported Republican
tax plans to slash personal income
levies by $3.50, 600, 900 when Con-
gress returns in January.
Chairman Knutson of the House
Ways and Means Committee was
said to be the prime mover in the
new COP program, whose main fea-
ture was reported proposal to
boost personal tax exemptions from
the present $500 to $500.
The Republican measure would re-
move some 100000 low insome
earners from the tax rolls and give
some relief to others of the Nations S
48 $500, 900 taxpayers.
President Truman already has We
