Objects to Exemption for Condv

l was very disturbed after reading in
The Star that one of the first bills in
troduced in the 1851 General Assembly
OF Maryland was bill to exempt candy
from the per cent sales tax.
In my opinion, box of candy is a
luxury item, and I don't believe luxuries
should be exempt unless the whole sales
tax law is repealed.
This move certainly is an insult to the
people of Maryland, who are having a
hard time making ends meet and still
have to pay the per cent sales tax on
their fuel, electric and water bills

Shot in the Dark

There is much in the recent record to
justify the belief that the Wage-price freeze
orders are a kind of economic shot in the dark
"a desperate and not-too- we'll considered effort
to deal with situation that was on the verge
OF getting wholly beyond control.
On November II President Truman told
press conference that wage and price controls
would be invoked as soon as the need for them
was demonstrated. In other words little more
than two months ago the President was not
convinced of the need. On December Secretary
of the Treasury Snyder told one Senate COM
mittee that wage and price controls would have
to be imposed, but on the same day Alan Valen-
tine, former stabilization administrator was
telling another Senate committee that he looked
Tor wages and prices to reach a plateau soon
at which they could be held in balance On the
following day. with the demand for strict controls
rising, Edwin G. Nourse, former chairman of
the Presidents Council of Economic Advisers
said that price control is "qucksand which
we would be wise to avoid unless we are forced
into an all-out shooting war" And on De-
cember Price Director Di Sale said plans
were being made for general price and wage
controls, but that he did not think they were
needed at that time. Within little more than
six weeks. however, the controls had been slapped
on-not pursuant to well-prepared plan, but
as an act of desperation in the face of a mount
ing emergency.
This is not a state of affairs that is calcu-
lated to inspire confidence for the future The
new controls are mere stopgap measures. The
wage freeze is not control plan at all, but
delaying action to gain time in which control
formula may be worked out. The price freeze
is going to stir up hornets nest of discontent
1t creates host of inequities, the greatest of
which hits those who complied with the
appeals for voluntary restraint of price
increases, believing that prices would be
rolled back to catch the non-compliers But
prices were not rolled back and the result is
that those who grabbed while the grabbing was
good are in better position than those who
went along with the voluntary program.
The most that can be said for these controls
is that they probably represent the best the
Government could do at this late date The
hope is that what has been done will prove to
be better than doing nothing But actually very
little has been done. Price and wage controls,
even if put on sound and effective basis, merely
operate against the symptoms-not the causes
OF imitation. Neither the present controls nor
those that will succeed them, can check the
upward rise in costs. If this is to be done at
least three things more absolutely essential
Cd There must be much tighter restraint on
credit. f2) Much higher taxes must be imposed
(3) All Government spending that is not literally
essential must be stopped with view to
balancing or coming as close as possible to
balancing the budget. If we will not do these
things we might as well forget about waco and
price controls, for. alone, they will never work.

Showdown on Contempt

The Senate has paved the way for much
needed showdown with the motley assortment
of characters defying efforts of the Kefauver
committee to delve into some of the darker
corners of the underworld. If the notorious

committee on non-incriminating subjects were to
have their way Congress might well abandon

meantime, his story has been spread throughout
the whole of Germany, and demonstrations have

up to now as if inhibited by the popular reaction,
the puppet Communist authorities have deferred
