Big Issue Is Peace

MOSCOW, Sunday, Mar. 12.-
Citizens throughout the vast So
Wet Union began casting their bal
lots this morning for delegates to
the Supreme Soviet (Parliament)
Polling booths opened at 6 am,
local time. and the first voting
started in the Far Eastern reaches
Of Siberia.
The election is for single list
of candidates.
Members of the Politburo spoke
in the campaign for the election
Of the slate OF Communist and
non-party bloc candidates. They
assured the people the big issue
is the Soviet = Unions policy of
peace.
New Overture Predicted.
In the light of these statements,
many foreign diplomats predicted
Russia would make some over
ture toward new effort to settle
the barbed problems dividing the
world, or at least come forward
with a strong hint for an over
ture from the west.

Prime Minister Stain to make

so.

In other words, Mr.. Molotov de-

But he expressed reservations
whether similar belief is dis

argument boiled down to this:
Russia does not fear peaceful eco

Russia must be on her guard.

to be left to innuendo," Mr.. Peuri-
Toy said in statement.
The statement was prompted by
press reports quoting Senator Nc
earthly as saying he would not
attempt to present complete de-
tails of his charges in an investi-
cation being conducted by a
Senate Foreign Relations sub
committee.
Mccarthy Replies.
Informed of Mr.. Peurifoy's de-
mand, Senator Mccarthy charged
that Democratic members of the
investigating committee had kept
him from completing one case"
in two days of hearings, and
added:
"All the facts I have will be
produced as soon as committee
members Tydings and Mcmahon
allow me to proceed"
Chairman Tydings and Senator
Mcmahon, Democrat, of Connecti-
cut, clashed frequently and bit
terly with Senator Mccarthy in
the two days of the hearing last
week.
The investigation will be re-
sumed tomorrow and Senator Nc
Carthy said he would present first
the case of man now holding
an important position in the State
Department"
Plans To Mention Names.
He said he could complete his
presentation in four or five hours,
If there are no prolonged inter-
ruptions. He also said he prob
ably will mention numerous names
of persons with Communist or
Communist-front affiliations to
back up his charges against the
department.
In testifying last week Sena-
tor Mccarthy brought up one
case-that of Judge Dorothy Ken
yon of New York. He charged that
Miss Kenyon, former American
representative on the United Ma
tons Commission on the Status
of Women, was affiliated with %
Communist-front organizations.
Miss Kenyon vigorously denied
the charge and will appear be-
fore the committee Tuesday.
Mr.. Peurifoy in his statement
said he was surprised" that Sem
ator Mccarthy did not intend to
present details to back up the
charges in a February 20 Senate
speech that led to the investiga-'
ton.
Asked to Provide Evidence.
II think" Mr.. Peurifoy contin-
ued. that Senator Mccarthy owes
it to the country to make avail
able to the committee any evil
dence which he has that involves
the loyalty of persons in the
Department of State. whether it
be the 205 that he said were

ing, Democratic members of the
committee were reported seriously
considering new proposal that
business concerns be required to
pay their corporation taxes in
three installments.
Under existing law corporations
may elect to pay their income
taxes in four quarterly INSTALL
ments. starting three months after
their taxable year ends.
Would Speed Collections.
While the three-payment plan
would not produce any new reve-
nue., its supporters say it would
boost Treasury collections before
the end of the next fiscal year
June 80, 1851. by 1000 billion.
Meanwhile, on the other side
of the Capitol. Senator Byrd,
Democrat, Of Virginia, painted a
rosy picture of the prospects for
budget-cutting at this session,
which would bring Treasury books
closer to a balance in the next
fiscal year.
The Virginia Senator, long the
leading advocate of Government
economy, said he believes a dozen
Democrats may 60 along with
Senate Republicans in an effort
to make blanket cut in the sin
gle-package appropriation bill
this session is preparing for all
Government departments. Here
tofore, the budget has been scat
tered through a dozen or more
departmental supply bills.
Twin Issues.
From now until the session ends
in midsummer, the twin issues of
taxes and appropriations will be
in the limelight in both Houses.
The plan for making corpora
lions pay their income taxes
earlier was sponsored months ago
by Representative Mills, Demo-
crat. of Arkansas, a member Of
Ways and Means.
Although Mr.. Mills put 1t for
ward originally as a tax reform
because he felt there is too wide
a gap between the time allowed
corporations and individuals to
pay their taxes. the plan is gain
ing ground now because of the
dilemma in which members of
Congress find themselves.
Most of them are anxious to
relieve the buying public from a
large part of the wartime excise
taxes on travel, transportation of
freight, entertainment, toilet
articles. furs. luggage. jewelry,
and other merchandise.
Warned by President.
At the same time, they are
finding it difficult to agree on the
new business taxes recommended
by the administration to more
than make up for the loss on
excuses. But they have been noti-
fed by President Truman that
he will not sign a reduced sched-
ule Of excise levies unless it Is
accompanied by off setting reve-
nue.
Informed sources at the Capitol
are convinced that this set of cir
cumstances will make the Mills
plan seem like a way out when the
time comes to vote.
Although the Ways and Means
Committee will begin it's delibera-
lions tomorrow, present indica-
lions are it will take them nearly
a month to bring out.a bill.
Republicans Plan Move.
Representative Reed of New
York, ranking Republican on Ways
and Means, has announced the
Republicans will move to report
out promptly a bill dealing only
with excise cuts. without waiting
to review the Presidents full tax
program. This move is not likely
to get far. since the committee
