meeting, he notified the Progress
sive managers that some such
open break with the Communists
was the price Of his remaining
their spokesman. If they did not
feel they could 90 along with it,
Wallace told them, he himself
would get out.
Convinced that he meant it,
the Communists gave in. The re-
suit was the resolution critical of
both America and Russia which is

Russia but completely breaks with
the old party position that Stain

Completely Unpredictable.
That Wallace should come un-
stuck in this matter does not sur
prise those Democrats who nursed
him along in their party for SO
many years. He is completely
unpredictable politically and will
always do what seems to him q
good idea at the time.
He is reported here to be much
encouraged by his Chicago sue
cess. He believes that unemploy-
ment Is a growing problem and
that fear of a depression plus the
sentiment for peace brought
about by the hydrogen bomb will
give his party another chance.
How the party now feels about
Wallace is another matter. They
yielded because they have nc

pute, a former Vice President and
cabinet member. to put in their
show window. The party itself is
now at low ebb and is not being
taken seriously by either Of the

The Merchant Marine
Bill to Subsidize Shipping Lines
Opposed on Tax Provisions

permit application of the Is per
cent capital gains tax rather than
the 38 per cent corporation tax
In some instances contrary to
present practice-and also that
accelerated depreciation allow
ances. up to Is per cent in any
one year, would permit a vessel
to be written of in six and q
half years instead of over the
normal expectancy of 20 years,
at the Treasury's expense.
Opposed by Pace.
Budget Director Frank Pace
opposed the bill as not in keeping
with President Truman's program
and asked that it be held up until
completion Of study of the whole
merchant marine problem now
under way. He, too. singled out
the tax provisions, even question
ing whether provisions in present
law represent sound government
policy, and adding that in gen.
eral tax benefits which constitute
an indirect subsidy are not con-
sistent with sound fiscal policy
and it is believed that, wherever
possible, they should be eliminated
rather than expanded"
A most significant analysis
came from the General Account
ing Once, sort Of watchdog for
the taxpayer, with a covering let
ter from Controller General Lind
say Warren, head Of that agency,
who. it may be recalled, recently
issued a report very critical of the
methods Of the Maritime Commits
sion IN fixing subsidies in which he
charged substantial over-pay-
ments to several big shipping lines.
While he approves Of subsidies
as essential to maintain our mer-
chant marine. he is against dis
guised subsidies" The memoran-
dunn he submitted said the tax
provisions of the bill possess all
the evils inherent in disguised
subsidies"
80 long as such legislative
benefits are conferred, enlarged
and extended in scope no one will
ever be in a position to say how
much the establishment and
maintenance Of q merchant ma

vessels as compared with other
maritime nations. Many years
ago Congress established sub
sidy policy.
That meant and still means, OF
course. that the taxpayer must
foot this subsidy BILL. which he
has been doing. In the course OF
recurrent controversy in Congress
over the subsidy system and
changes in it from time to time,
the shipping industry necessarily
became very active here and has
built up one of the most powerful
lobbies in Washington, vying with
others, such as the oil lobby which
just now is trying to weaken the

ulatory authority over natural gas
at the expense of the consumer.
The average American still
seems to have little interest in
our merchant fleet, and conse-
quently pays little attention to
what goes on here in regard to
it, even though it affects his
pocketbook. If queried by one OF
DR.. Gallup's agents. he probably
would say he was for "a strong
merchant marine" and let it go
at that. not bothering to pry into
how the subsidy system operates
and whether 1t is costing him

treatment in their favor and
against other industries.
This bill. already approved by
the House Interstate and Foreign
Commerce Committee, currently
is the subject Of hearings before
the Senate Interstate and Foreign
Commerce Committee. It is in
the form OF amendments to the
1885 Merchant Marine Act which
provides certain direct subsidies
also, as does the pending bill. In
the house it was sponsored by the
late Representative Bland, Demo-
crat OF Virginia. and its Senate
