NIT manufacturers to deduct from

In order to qualify for the de-
ductions firms would have to be-
gin construction of the anti

1855.
The deductions would start
after the waste treatment plant
is completed.

taxes such as those imposed on
transportation. luggage. furs, jew
elry and light bulbs.
The amendments will bring the
first test of a policy agreed on
by Senate Democrats yesterday
to oppose extraneous riders on
any legislation in an effort to
speed work in the new session.
Administration leaders said they
were confident they could block
such moves.
There also were reports that
civil rights legislation would be
offered as amendments, but none
of the butter State Senators would
acknowledge that this would be
done.
Gillette Asks Southern Support.
However. Senator Gillette. Dem
ocrat. Of Iowa leading of for the
opponents of the House-passed
bill, yesterday appealed to South
ern members to join in opposing
the bill. He said it would lead to
further invasion of States rights
that is closely wrapped up in the
Southern opposition to President
Truman's civil rights program.
Enjoy yourselves, you States
Rights men," cried Senator Gil
lette. "This will come up to slap
you in the face"
While Southern members are
supporting the oleomargarine bill
most of them already are keyed
to fight the Presidents civil rights
program to be submitted soon.
As an example of their opposi-
ton, Senator Robertson, Demo-
crat. Of Virginia said yesterday
that the civil rights program is
aimed at the South.
On the Fair Employment Prac-
tices bill. scheduled to be the first
OF the civil rights program to be
taken up, Senator Robertson said ::
"FEPC is aimed at the South
but it threatens individual enter
prise in every part of the Nation. !"

Hearings on the budget are

day before the House Appropria-
tions Subcommittee handling
District affairs. The District
spending bill is to be completed
by the subcommittee January 81
under the new omnibus appropria-
ton plan designed to speed con-
gressional action and give Con-
gress a better overall look at the
Federal Governments financial
picture.
Economies to Be Sought.
A search for possible economies
in the budget will be made during
congressional action on the bill,
House Appropriation Committee
leaders indicated.
Committee Chairman Cannon
said that 1t was true the District
bill was in a different category
from the Federal supply bills,
since District taxpayers bear most
Of the Districts costs, but he said
he felt the taxpayers here appre-
ciate economy just as much as
taxpayers elsewhere. i.
He indicated he had given no
orders to the subcommittee In
charge of the District bill as to
any specific total, but remarked
that the budget submitted to Con-
gress was only estimates Of need.
"We can't give the District
everything 1t needs" Mr.. Cannon
said. "but we will give the District
what is Indispensable"
A similar attitude has been
taken by Chairman Bates of the
District Appropriations Subcom-
mittee. e
| The $lls.s55 ,S75 in the supply
bill would be charged against the
three principal city funds rs fol-
lows: General fund. $102,S7S.775 !:
highway fund, $9.S9T 200, and
water fund. $6,080.0o0.

nearly $1,000 for every family,
and that lit would go far toward
our goal of the complete elimina
ton of poverty"
Stressing that a start must not
be delayed however. Mr.. Truman
set his sights on $1,000, 900 jobs
this year and an increase of about
7 per cent in national output, with
unemployment dropping to 2,0O0,-
600 or 2.500.000 at most.
And he stressed that "the bene-
fits of growth and progress must
extend to all groups" explaining
that, IF any part of our economy
is depressed or fails to gain, it can
only serve as a drag against the
gains of other parts" He empha-
sized that special measures are
needed to help low-income
groups" but he did not go beyond
this generalization.
The President once more went
to bat for his Fair Deal welfare
program as an essential" element
in building up the economy, and
then he stressed the value of "wise
budgetary policies" for strength
ening the country's business
structure.
Government revenue policy. -
he said, Should take into account
both the needs of sound Govern
ment finance and the needs of an
expanding economy. Federal re-
ceipts should be sufficient over a
period Of years to balance the
budget and provide a surplus for
debt reduction. At the same time,
the tax structure and the changes
made in it from time to time
should be such as to promote the
amounts and types Of investment,
consumption and saving needed
for economic expansion. We
should recognize that the ex-
pansion Of the economy will gen.
crate additional revenues and
strengthen the fiscal position of
the Government"
Warns Of Deficit Financing.
Along the same line, the council
warned against the continuation
of deficit financing indefinitely.
The council told the President
that the chances of maintaining
prosperity depend on achieving
a sustainable balance among the
various sectors of our economy
That, in substance, it was added
would mean correlated output and
expenditures that would guard
against the evils of overproduc-
ton and imitation. But it was
conceded that the vast instabili-
ties" which develop now raise a
problem, the council commenting
that rof course. private and public
policy in a free-enterprise econo-
my cannot completely remove
fluctuations in business invest
ment and other economic activi-
ties" The council. it was added

in this field now.
In passing. the council scolde6
the steel industry for its recent
price increase.
Contending that instability or
SO important a sector as housing
has contributed powerfully toward
general economic instability" the
council said housing production
should be stabilized at very high
levels with an average of l.
100000 residential units built
annually over the next few years

date of the American delegation
to Jerusalem which called for the
summoning in the United States
'of a fully representative national
conference of the Jews of Amer
lea" to consider the economic
problems confronting Israel, the
convenors of the National Plan
ming Conference have taken sew
eral steps to insure the democratic
and representative character of
the three-day assembly.
The first step was the invita-
ton to every major national Jew
ish organization to participate in
the planning and leadership of
the Conference. AS of this writ

tons. including the four major
civic protective agencies (Ameri-
can Jewish Committee. American

Committee and B'nai B'rith). the

Jewish War Veterans. the United
Jewish Appeal and its three con-
stituent agencies Joint Distribu-
ton Committee. United Palestine
Appeal and Service for New Am
ericans). the United Synagogue of
America. have named representa-
tives to represent them on the
overall Conference Steering Com
mittee.
In addition, a formula was de-
vised to guarantee adequate local
Jewish community representation
on the all-important Steering
Committee. Each Welfare Fund
in communities with a Jewish
! population of more than 10000
was asked to designate three rep
resentatives to the Committee;
communities with Jewish popu-
lation between $4,000 and 10000
will designate two representa-
tives; and communities with a
Jewish population of between g.
900 and $4,000 will name one del
egate.
Since the national Jewish organ
izations participating in the Con-
ference include religious. frater-
nal. veterans. civic defense. wom-
ems. and Zionist and non Zionist
groups. it is believed that every
element in the American Jewish
community will be ably repre-
scented in the Steering Com
mittee.
The Steering Committee was
called to order on Thursday, Oc-
tober rs, to review major resolu
tons for presentation to the Con-

PLAIN TALK
TWO PRIESTS AND A RABBI
Rabbi Alfred Seelig Of oul
BY Alfred Segal

Rabbi Alfred Seelig Of our
town could feel better about this
sorrY-looking world after the two
priests had called on him. He
had seen something Of the good
ness that is implicit in the
brotherhood Of man. He thought
maybe on account of such people
God might still spare the world.
despite its iniquities; just as He
had promised to do for the wick
ed city Of Sodom if 10 righteous
people could be found in it. This
is what He promised to Abraham.
At dusk that day he could re-
cite with a fuller heart the prayer
of the evening: Blessed art Thou,
OLord our God, King of the Uni
verse, who at Thy word bringest
on the evening twilight, with
wisdom ,openest the gates of
heaven and with understanding
changest times and variest the
seasons, and arrangest the stars in
their watches in the sky"
Yes. it looked like a beautiful
world after all. Even mankind.
as seen in the two priests. could
march in the majestic rhythm of
the universe.
The arrival of the priests at
Rabbi Seelig's house seemed most
opportune, considering the way
other men had been trying to do
with the world. Up at Lake Sue
cess an arrogant man had been
making speeches almost every
day-tWeedle-dee-dum and twee-
dle-dee-dee-while young men
were dying by the thousands in
Korea. The man could tolerate
no compromise between tweedle-
dee-dee by which the dying in
Korea could be quickly stopped.
It all looked hopeless even to
Rabbi Seelig who thought that in
his time he had already seen the
worst. He had seen Hitler and
suffered him. had become refu-
gee and had fled to our town and
had rejoiced to find God again.
He thanked God that in the new
land his function as rabbi was
not just to pray and to preach.
He was made superintendent of
our Orthodox Home for the Aged
in which there were many kind
neSseS to be done. In the morn
ings and in the evenings he led
the old people in the prayers, and
in between there was multitude
of things for the heart of a rabbi
to do for them.
Every so often one of them
died. yet he could not be sent
away in sorrow. He had lived a
fullness of days and he was leav-
ing the earth at a moment of most
dreadful. history -. "Yisgadal
veYiskadas -.
The doing of many kindneSses
every day beguiled Rabbi Seelig
looking at the gathering darkness
on the earth. He was in the midst
of this busy work the day two
priests called on him.
And to what do I owe this
honor?"
The priests pointed to young
man who was with them-fineI
looking chap of about Is. They
said it was on account of this boy
they were calling on the rabbi.
Hes Jewish" they explained.
He desired to be rabbi and they
were helping him to find the way
