Communist Police Protest
Firing Of 267 in Vienna
By the Assoeioted Press

VIENNA. Mar. 29.-About 100
Communist police demonstrated
in front of Vienna's city police
headquarters this morning after a
one-hour strike last night, pro-
testing the dismissal of 267 police
officials by the city government.
Most of those fired were Com
munists.
A recent union election showing
that up to 81 per cent of Vienna S
police were Communists had
prompted the city government to
purge Communists from jobs in
the Western-occupied sectors of
the city.
Russian interference so far
has prevented dismissals in the
Soviet sector of the four-power-

Program Broken Down.
The committees $40 billion tax
program is made up of these taxes:
$5.25 billion from new and in
creased excise taxes. including the
sales tax; $3.50, 100000 from the
increased individual income taxes
and 81 billion from a new defense
profits tax.
The committee would increase
the manufacturer excise tax on
automobiles to 20 per cent from Z
per cent and on refrigerators, tele-
vision sets and other consumers
mechanical durable goods to Is
per cent from 10 per cent. This is
estimated to yield $1.1 billion,
Present Federal excises on alco-
holic beverages. tobacco and gaso-
line likewise would be raised, yield
ing an additional $1.4 billion.
The 5 per cent sales tax would
apply to other items than these
and would cover chiefly sales in
the following categories: clothing,
house furnishings, transportation,
personal care (such as haircuts
and clothes cleaning) and recrea-
tion.
Close to Safety Limits.
Corporate profits taxes, the
committee said, already are close
to the maximum limits of safety
even in temporary emergency
and far above the limits tolerable
for any protracted period. Since
the outbreak of war in Korea
corporate taxes have been in
creased twice and account for $6
billion of the 50 billion tax in
creases In that period.
Under the committees defense
profits tax proposal the combined
tax rate on corporate profits above
$25, 900 would be raised from At
per cent to so per cent, and the
excess profits tax of 80 per cent
would be added to this. The max
imum limit on the total tax would
be raised from 81 per cent to IS
per cent.
Discussing the possibility of
savings, the committee said the
budget estimate of $9.1 billion for
non defense items above relative
ly fixed commitments is a third
higher than actual expenditures
In the same category in 1948. It
described this as "a year in which

West Decides 10 Reply.
Tomorrow 10 New Red
Plan for Big 4 Agenda
BY the Assoeiefed Press

PARIS. Mar. 20. - Western
sources today greeted Russia's new
proposals for a foreign ministers
conference agenda with reactions
ranging from cautious optimism
to enthusiasm.
The delegates of the United
States. Britain and France met at
the French Foreign Ministry to
exchange views OF the new and
apparently conciliatory suggestions
submitted. yesterday by Soviet
Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei
Gromyko.
They postponed until tomorrow
the meeting with Mr.. Gromyko,
scheduled for today. in order tl
give more time to discussion of his
proposals.
THE Western powers feel the
new Soviet suggestions are impor-
2tant enough for serious study and
consideration, so we have arranged
to have no meeting today" a
Western official said.
Mr.. Gromyko yesterday submit
ted q new wording in which Rus
sia dropped her previous demands
that German rearmament be con-
sidered as a separate subject, as
well as her earlier insistence on
the Potsdam agreement of 1945 as
the basis for East West discus
sionS.
An official source said one of
the Western powers is enthusi-
astic about the new Russian line.
The second power, he said, be-
lieves the Big -Four deputies may
not really be on their way toward
arranging a foreign ministers
meeting to ease world tension.
The third power, he added, is q
little more reserved.
This source did not identify the
Western powers with the reac-
tions he described.
Another Western official, who
has been skeptical about Russia's
desire for a foreign ministers
conference. was reported today to
believe Mr.. Gromyko's move is
Russia's first real concession"
In the new proposal. Russia also
agreed for the first time to include
"the level of armaments" of the
United States, Russia. Britain and
France on the agenda-a topic
the West sought-but at the same
time continued to demand discus
sion of arms reductions by the
Big Four.
On It's face, the new Soviet pro-
posal seemed to represent an eff
fort to bridge the gap that has
separated the Foreign Ministers
deputies all through the 10 ses-
sions Of their meeting here.
