What Congress ought to do

and others.
Between June 20. 1941, and
the end of 1912 Stain was
scared. Former non-commis-
stoned officers such as Bud
yenny and Timoshenko who
had been raised to the rank OF
field marshals may have been
good and loyal Communists,
but they were complete flops as
army commanders.
Men who had peen hitherto
unknown showed their mettle.
Stain had to give them full
recognition although they were
more soldiers than political
partisans. The commissars at
tached to army units were dis
missed. A strict and strong
military discipline was estab-
lished. In order to increase the
prestige of the commanding
officers, Stain decided to
adopt an old trick which is al
ways successful with armies:
He reinstated spectacular uni
forms similar to those of the
Czarist regime. Soldiers love to
dress up.
When the war ended, the
U. S. S. r. had a f1rst-class
military machine. It was
further improved for the pur-
pose of accomplishing the late
dictator's aim for world con-
quest. Then the names of the
field marshals which had hit
the front pages of all the
newspapers in the Soviet
Union and abroad during the
war began to lose their shine.
There were reports that such
men as Zhukov had been shorn
of power and sent to command
units in remote parts of the
empire.
There were reports that
some of the field marShals
had been purged because they
were suspected of being con-
taminated with "WesterniSm."
But since Zhukov is now depu-
ty minister of defense it is
obvious that the eclipse of the
wartime commanders was only
temporary; that they were

tax represents the highest
hurdle on the Federal tax
track. Imposing a rate of 80
per cent on top of the normal
and surtax levies of So per
cent on all earnings above
$4,000, the excess profits tax
results in a total tax bite of
50 cents out of every dollar
earned above an arbitrarily
determined normal earnings
figure. Your committee regrets
that the terms used in tax
legislation are words which
inevitably arouse strong emo
tional reactions. No one can
defend excessive profits, and
during a period of war or
emergency a method of heav-
lily penalizing all earnings
above normal levels does not
seem too harsh when wages
and prices are also frozen.
Any serious reflection on this
subject, however. brings one
to the conclusion that such
high tax levels pose a most
serious threat to our economy
and, if long endured, will spell
the doom of the competitive
nature of our productive
system"
Thus the committee calls
attention to a development
little noticed by the public but
which probably has already
resulted in some business
failures-namely. the ending
of price and wage controls be-
fore removing the high excess
profits taxes, thereby tending
to narrow even further the
profit margin for the coming
calendar year, 1854. Also, with
the cost of materials and
labor higher than ever before.
many small enterprises would
have been benefited immeas1a
urably by being able to save
some of the tax money they
will be paying out in 1854 on
the earnings of 1858. With
refunded tax money unavail-
able promptly for working
capital, inventories probably
will be allowed to run down,
thus adding to the severity of
any business decline that is
developing at the time.

Congress Planning
ToPush Wheat Quota
Bill 10 President
BY the Associated PreSS

The Senate and House planned
to rush to President Eisenhower
today a bill to permit wheat
growers to plant 81 million acres
next year and still get high price
supports.
Secretary of Agriculture Ben
son must announce the national
quota for the 1854 crop by to-
morrow.
Senator Aiken, Republican, of
Vermont said he was sure the
compromise bill would get to the
White House by tonight so the
President can sign it before Mr..
Benson acts. Both branches
must act on it.
Senator Aiken headed the Sem
ate conferees who agreed with
the House on a 62-million-acre
national allotment late yester-
day. The Senate had voted for
81 million, the House for 66.
Only SIS million acres would be
permitted by present law, COM
pared with 70 million planted
this year.
Referendum in August.
The boost is designed to make
the quotas more palatable to
wheat growers so they will ap-
prove them by the necessary
two-thirds margin in a referen-
dunn next month.
There are no wheat quotas
now. There have been none
since 1912. They are invoked,
subject to a referendum, when
ever a surplus is indicated:
The referendum is made neces-
sary by the huge supply of wheat
expected by the end of this year
because of recent record har-
vests.
If the quotas failed to carry,
Government price supports would
drop from 1921 to $1.23 a bushel.
Some Republican farm belt law
makers have voiced fear such a
drop would mean the loss of the
1854 congressional elections.
The conferees also voted yes
terday to keep at their present
levels the exemptions from the
quotas and the referendum.
Meanwhile, a three-year ex-
tension of the international
wheat agreement, under which
Al nations pledge to buy sos
million bushels from four major
exporters. was ratified by the
Senate.
The United States export
quota is 270 million bushels. The
Government pays subsidies to ex-
porters if the price they receive
is lower than the domestic price.
Such subsidies so far have cost
$50 million dollars.
Great Britain. a major i'm

agreement in the past but has

It is already being predicted
in some quarters that even the
approach of the campaign
next year will not greatly
vitalize the Congress. It is
argued that Republicans can't
do much with their narrow
margin of control and that
the Democrats will hang back
except on vital issues of
foreign policy.
The campaign of course puts
an automatic cutoff date on
next years session, a situation
ideal for filibusters. Part of
the inherent difficulty can be
obviated if the various COM
mittees charged with con-
troversial measures hold COM
plete hearings during the fall
and have their bills ready for
action in January.
The Eisenhower cabinet has
made no bones of its wish

Constantine Brown:

American and allied intel
ligence services are working
overtime in an effort to dis
cover what the attitude of the
Soviet field marshals is in the
present Kremlin turmoil. The
whole future of the present
monolithic regime in the
U. S. S. r. depends on the
handful of marshals and gen.
erals who since the death Of
Stain control the Red armies.
The reason the free West
ern countries are displaying a
keen interest in the top Red
military men is that the Situa-
ton in 1858 is entirely diff
ferent from that which existed
during the great purge" some
II years ago.
When Stain ordered the
liquidation of his enemies and
theological opponents, the Red
armies were weak. None Of
their commanders had any
prestige. Furthermore. while
the professional officers were
used in training troops, it was
the commissars attached to
all the units from regiments
to divisions and corps who had
full control of the Red armies.
In the process of extermina-
ton of all opponents, Stain
relied on the powerful NKVD
(the secret police. He sent
Marshal Tukhachevsky, the
Red army's chief of staff, be-
fore a firing squad without
being the slightest concerned
over the effect on the morale
of the troops.
The last war changed all
this. The Red armies ceased to
be armed rabble after they
suffered a humiliating defeat
at the hands of little Finland
and faced determination by
the Nazi legions. Thanks to the
efforts of the United States.

army became an efficient force

ers such as Zhukov, Sokolov-

tended to use in foreign CAM
palgns.
All discussions of events in
Russia must necessarily be
based at this time on specula-
ton and conjecture. But it is
safe to conjecture that Pre-
mier Georgi Malenkov would
not have dared raise his hand
against Lavrenti Beria. the
man who has controlled the
secret police for years, unless
he was sure of the support
of the army which now. unlike
in 1886, is much stronger than
the MVD.
If this conjecture is correct
and developments in the
next few months will show it
what was the deal between
Malenkov and Bulganin, the
political field marshal who
heads RusSia's defense minis
try and his subordinate Zhu-
kov? What influence does
Marshal Voroshilov, the nomi-
nal head of the U.S.S.R., still
exercise over his former mill
tary associates? How many Of
the army commanders have
associated themselves with
Malenkov and on what terms?
Just as Heinrich Himmler, the
GeStapo head, was highly I'M
popular with the professional
soldiers in Nazi Germany, so
is Beria hated by the profess
Sional Russian generals.
There is no question what
soever that the strength of the
Red army and air force has
not been impaired in the
slightest by the developments
which are now taking place in
the U.S.S.R. But from what
seems to trickle out of the
Soviet capital, the Red mill
tary might is being controlled
