still of cutting unnumbered billions
out of the budget but the tone Is be-
coming a little subdued as the
valiant cleavers learn how little OF
the total goes to the payroll OF the
bureaucrats.
20% Tax Cut Still Slogan.
The 20 per cent income tax re-
duction still remains a slogan, but
the need for revenue with which to
balance the budget-most sacred
of all promises-is causing more
than one member to hesitate about
putting it into practice. 1t may
presently be relegated to the cate
cory of nice ideas that wouldn't
work-especially since the cham
pions of the people of small income
have begun to take the field argu-
ing that is would hurt the many
and benefit only the few.
AS for labor, the old hands are
showing a disposition to let the
younger men take on this trouble
some crusade. A conspicuous In
stance is that Of Senator Joe Ball.
Having thrust himself forward as
the white knight of management in
its age-old war with labor, the gal
liant young statesman from Mime
sofa may have begun to realize how
ready his older colleagues were to
let him lead the attack. If it hadn't
occurred to him sooner, it doubtless
became clear when he read the wry
remark of his original sponsor,
Comdr. Stassen, that he, Senator
Ball, was going too far.
Then there Is always Gov. Dewey.
The Senate majority, being COM
posed largely Of presidential or, at
least vice presidential, 'hopefuls,
keeps a fairly constant ear cooked
toward Albany. 1t seems to be &C
cepted that, as matters now stand,
Mr.. Dewey rates better with labor
than any other Republican candi-
date, thanks largely to the good will
of the AFL in his own State.
'Let George Do It."
Rumors that Gov. Dewey is deriv-
ing a certain amount of pleasure
from proceedings in Washington,
proceedings likely to ALLEVIATE labor
completely so far as any senatorial
aspirant for the presidency is con-
cerned, may have something to do
with the willingness of the old
timers to let George do it-George
In this case being Joe. This would
definitely explain Mr.. Stassen's
hasty move to dissociate himself
from Senator Balls belligerency.
The cooling-of process still has
some way to 60 before the Congress
can be expected to act with wisdom
in situation that offers no simple
solutions. Examination of many of
the proposed quick cures reveals
that they are little more than
strategic or tactical moves, designed
to serve one side-for the most part
the management side-in war
that apparently is without end.

which found Senator Barley carry
ing the ball in virtually every major
play of the administration with
Senator Taft his usual tackle.
Confirming that he hoped to share
the work among the ambitious.
Senator White said that it was only
sensible for those committees which
heard the witnesses and drafted the
legislation to press for the decision
in the Senate. 'Those who have
had the advantages of thorough
study and discussion should inform
the Senate and the country" he
said. "It is both their opportunity
