The Rev. Mr.. Silvaretnam was

American Churches put on social
action. This is in contrast to the
function Of the church in India.
In India the church is essentially
an agency which fosters personal

Bark|ey Denies Shift
In Committee Affects
Joint Foreign Policy

Criticism; Democrats
List Assignments
By J. A. O'Leoy

Vice President-elect Barkley
denied today the Democrats had
any thought of affecting the
bipartisan foreign policy when
they increased their ratio OF
seats on the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee.
He made the statement in answer
to Republican criticism of yester-
days decision to include Foreign Re
latlons in the group of committees
on which there will be eight Dem
ocrats and five Republicans. In the
Republican controlled Both Congress,
the ratio was seven Republicans to
six Democrats.
The Democratic leadership also
made public today its slate of COM
mittee assignments, which revealed
no surprises.
1T is just as easy for five Sena-
tors to be nonpartisan as for six -
said Senator Barkley, referring to
the limitation on Republican
strength on the Foreign Relations
Committee Likewise, it will be as
easy for eight as for seven Demo-
Gratis to be nonpartisan."
Wagner Gives Up Place.
The Kentucky Senator, who will
continue as party floor leader until
Inauguration day, insisted the only
reason for increasing the Demo-
cratic side of Foreign Relations was
to make it possible to put back
Democrats knocked off the COM
mittee two years ago and make
some provision for new Democrats
trying to get on that committee.
Senator Connally of Texas. new
Foreign Relations chairman, joined
Senator Barkley in pointing out that
before the war ended, the Demo-
Gratis, then in control. originated the
bipartisan foreign policy by naming
four Republicans and four Demo
Gratis to work with the State De-
partment in seeking to solve post
war world problems.

Taft Asks Reduction
In Spending Instead
OF Increased Taxes
Douehton Glad Truman
Didn't Loy Down Any
Hard and Fast Rules

Senator Taft Of Ohio, chair
man of the Senate Republican
Policy Committee, said today he
believed Government spending
could be reduced so there would
be no need for any tax increase.
President Truman asked for
$4,000, 100000 more in taxes in
his State-of-the-Union mes
sage today.
Representative Doughton. Demo-
crat, Of North Carolina, who will
head the tax-framing House Ways
and Means Committee, said he is
glad the President laid down no
hard and fast rules" for a new
tax program.
The country will not look very
favorably on increased taxes until
the people are convinced we are not
wasting money" Mr. Doughton said.
The Presidents tax proposal is in
teresting and worthy of serious con-
sideration."
Senator George, Democrat. of
Georgia. who heads the Senate's
Finance Committee. said he, too,
is glad that Mr.. Truman left details
of the tax program up to Congress.
Meets Needs, Lucas Says.
Senator George said he was op-
posed to civil rights legislation-that
is law forbidding an employer to
discriminate because of race when
hiring a worker, anti-lypching laws
and such measures.
Senator Taft disclosed that he
had refused invitations from radio
networks to answer the President S
message.
Il don't want to give a hasty
answer to what the President has
proposed" Senator Taft said.
There will be opportunity to reply
after we have studied his message
carefully"
Senator Lucas of Illinois, Senate
Democratic leader, said the message
was in line with Mr.. Truman's
campaign pledges and was designed
to meet the needs of the great
majority of the country
MY hope" Senator Lucas added,
'is that we can enact the greater
part of it
'In for Some Dizzy Days.
Representative Martin of Massa-
chusetts, House Republican leader.
declared:
The President has recommended,
as everybody expected he would
that Congress shall provide many
billions of dollars to pay for his
campaign promises. If the Demo-
cratic Congress agrees to his requests
in full, the country is in for some
dizzy days. Believe it or not, there
is a limit to the amount of taxes
we can wiring from the American
people"
/ A similar critical comment came
from Representative Halleck of In
diana, Republican floor leader In
the last Congress.
The complete recklessness of the
Presidents proposals, taken as a
whole" Mr.. Halleck said. lis clear
evidence that the anti-radical men,
bers of the Congress have a big
