COP:
Ne,v Tax Plan

Needing the demands of some Re
publican congressman for more
substantial tax cuts for the lower
income groups, the house passed
modified version of the Knutson pro-
posal for straight 20 per cent re-
duction.
Under the new bill, present rates
would be cut 80 per cent on taxable
income up to $1,000; from 30 to 20
per cent on income between 81, 001
and 81 1896; 20 per cent on income
up to 1902, 1896. and 10 per cent on all
earnings above the latter figure.
Over "a million persons in the lower
brackets would benefit from the in
creased reduction.
Speaker Martin threw his full sup
port behind the new modified meas
ure. Said he: "These tax cuts
are entirely practicable while at the
same time payments are made on
the national debt. :. People in the
lower income brackets must have
relief from crushing taxation and
unbearably high prices. ). Venture
capital must have a chance for
reasonable return as an incentive to
invest in order to make more jobs
at good wages, increase production,
improve quality and bring down
prices for all. ;"

REFUGEES:
u. S. Aid

Having already generously provid-
ed relief and financial assistance to
war-stricken areas abroad, congress
moved to help the 1,037 1000 displaced
persons and refugees in Europe by
joining the United Nations Inter-
national Refugee organization.
Under the proposal first approved
by the senate and then sent to the
house, the U. S. would furnish rs mill

What are the Communists after7
The new Nplinger magazine, pub
ished in Washington, says In its
March issue:
Gas spelled out in their own
words, American Communists have
three major aims in the United
States: The revolutionary over
throw Of capitalism and the capt.
talist state, a Soviet form Of gov
eminent under a dictatorship Of the
proletariat,' and finally, the Com
munist heaven-on-earth, a COLLECTIVE
list economy leading to a classics
society.
"Of the three aims, their first is
revolution. Not merely change, but
full-fledged revolution, planned, led
and controlled by the disciplined
Communist minority. The liberia
ton Of the working class from the
yoke Of capitalism cannot be ef-
fected by slow changes, by reforms,
but only by revolution

1t is not likely, however, that the
party will be banned by law. Not be-
cause congress loves the Commu-
nists. But even that ardently anti-red
group, the committee on un-Ameri-
can activities, doesn't approve Of
wiping out the party. An anonymous
member Of the committee recently
pointed out that If the party was

DISASTER:
Pass Buck

Charges and counter-charges flew
thick and fast in the wake of the dis
astrous mine explosion at Wamac,
ILL.,, which claimed the lives of over
100 coal miners.
As repeated warnings of state and
federal inspectors about hazardous
conditions in the mine were barred,
Gov. Dwight H. Green's state ad-
ministration was. accused of lax
ity in enforcing safety regulations
and the federal mines administra-
ton, as technical operator, was
raped for failing to correct safety
violations.
Administrative inefficiencies prom
ised to provide John L. Lewis with
additional ammunition for his de-
mands for federal supervision of
safety regulations in the mines
when he resumes bargaining with
operators for a new contract.
Meanwhile, federal, state and local
officials mapped three investiga-
tons in the wake Of the disaster
to take off some Of the heat. The
federal inquiry was scheduled to fol-
low senate passage of resolution in
troduced by Senator Brooks (Rep.,
In.).

ATOM CONTROL:
Ne,U Plan,

As congressional conservatives
continued their fight against appoint
ment of David E. Lilienthal as chair
man of the national atomic energy
commission, bills were introduced
for the creation Of new board to
be headed by Secretary of State
Marshall.
Under the plan introduced in the
senate by Senator Malone (Rep.,
New and five colleagues and in the
house by Representative Jenkins
(Rep., o., other members of the
new board would include the Sec
retaries of war and navy and two
persons named by President Tru-
man.
Conservatives seized upon the
critical international situation to at
tempt to sidetrack Lilienthal, former
IVA chairman who has been ac-
cused of 'couptenancing the presence
of Communists in the power agency.
In proposing establishment of the
new board to govern all phases of
domestic atomic production, Repub-
licans, joined by southern Demo-
Gratis, declared that the Greek-Turk-
ish crisis indicated the need for close
political and military control over
nuclear energy for national security.

U.N.:
Celebrate With Veto

Andrei A. Gromyko, Russian del
egate to the United Nations security
council, celebrated the first ami
versary of the U. N. with veto
the 10th the Reds have employed
since the international organization
came into being to block action
against themselves or Soviet-spon-
sored puppets.
With the Polish delegate siding
with him, per custom, Gromyko
welded the veto on a resolution
that would have charged Albania,
a Soviet satellite, with part guilt for
the sinking Of British vessel by a
mine in Corfu channel last fall. Eff
feet of the charge would have in
creased Albania's liability for dam
ages being sought by the British for
the mishap.
AS it was, the U. S., France,
China, Australia, Brazil, Colombia
and Belgium, which voted for the
resolution, watered down the origi-
nal British charge that Albania was
guilty of either laying the mine or
conniving in planting it. Instead,
they accused Albania of possessing
knowledge of the presence of the
mine and failure to clear the
channel,

Life Insurance
Increases in u. S.

On the average, there were over
4 life insurance policies per family
in the United States at the end Of
1945, it is revealed in survey by life
insurance companies. In amount of
life insurance owned, the average
per family was $4,000 at mid-year
1915. The average 1945 protection
per family was more than 20 per
cent larger than that of 1910 and was
IN times the 1920 protection aver
age. The 1945 average per family
of life insurance owned was nearly
equal to the 1945 average income per
family, the average per family of
national income in 1945 being 81, 300.
In 1920, the average protection per
family was nearly so per cent below
the average of national income per
family. This gap was narrowed in
the ensuing years, until in 1927 the
protection average exceeded the in
come average. In the years of de-
preston that followed, the protec-
ton average went as high as 21z
times the income average. In 1913,
as wartime incomes expanded, the
income average again topped the
protection average.

the Reds were unceasing in their
efforts to subvert labor unions;
spread Communist doctrines in the
schools, and prey upon foreign Ian
guage groups.
Besides infltrating established
radio channels, they also are trying
to set up outlets of their own. Under
direction of party leaders, they are
prolific letter writer's and expert at
organizing pressure campaigns for
some cause favorable to leftism.
