Chamber Asks
Instead
OF Profits Tax
Fuvors Economies
By Cecil HoIIond

The United States Chamber of
Commerce today called for a S.
billion slash in Government spend
ing for non-military purposes as
"the first step" in the Nations
rearmament program instead oi
stiff excess profits tax now being
considered by the House Ways and
Means Committee.
Ellsworth C. Alvord chairman OF
the Chambers Committee on Fed
|eral Finance, described the ad-
ministration's proposal for a rs
per cent tax on abnormal earn
ings of corporation as unsound and
unWorkable. and added in a state
ment prepared for the record:
An excess profits tax encour-
ages wasteful practices in utiliza-
ton Of materials and manpower
and contributes strongly to infla-
tion and the cost of preparedness 81
He testified before the House
Ways and Means Committee In
hearings on President Truman's
urgent request for an excess
profits tax that would produce 81
billion year to help pay part OF
the cost Of the country's expand
ing defense program.
Called Penalty on Enterprise.
AS business groups continued
their attacks on the administra-
tion's proposals, the Committee fol-
Economic Development-an Or
ganization of business executives
told the House group the kind OF
excess profits tax outlined by
Secretary Of the Treasury Snyder
"needlessly and recklessly exceeds
the limits consistent with a strong
America"
j. Cameron Thomason of Min
neapolis presented the CED's views
to the committee and said the ad-
ministration's tax would actually
weaken America"
"It would be hard to think of a
tax better calculated to penalize
the enterprising firm relative to
the sluggish. the efficient relative
to the inefficient, the new and
growing firm relative to the old
established one" Mr.. Thomason
testified.

told the United Nations today
$4,000 Soviet agents completely
dominate the political, economic

China.
Events of the past IL months,
DR.. Tsiang said, have fully proved
his charges that the Chinese civil
war was engineered by Russia and
that the Peiping regime is the
stooge and tool of Moscow. He
spoke before the General Assem-

mittee.
DR.. Tsiang told the committee
Russia has completely ignored the
Assembly's 1949 appeal to all

Rail Freight Rates Cut
12Pct. on New Autos;
Buyers Will Benefit
ICC Acts to EquoIize
Costs From Main Plants
And Assembly Factories
BY the Associated Press

The Interstate Commerce Com
mission today ordered an average
IL per cent reduction in railroad
freight rates on new automobiles
Officials estimated the cut,
dated to become effective Feb
ruary 20, will involve savings OF
$40 and up for new-car purchases
The retail price of new automo-
biles traditionally includes the rail
transportation charge from the
main factory to the home city
of the purchaser, regardless OF
how delivery is made between
these points.
Thus the revision in the basic
rail rate will be reflected in the
local sales tag, in amounts vary
ing according to location and the
weight of the car.
Assembly Plants Are Factor.
The ICC acted on the basic rate
structure in what was described
as an effort toward equalizine
competition among those manu-.
facturers handling their product
principally out of the factory city
and those maintaining assembly
plants at various points over the
country.
