SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, July
24.-of all the hot spots in Gen.
trail America today. Costa Rica
is the hottest.
For Costa RIGA Is on the de-
fensive In an all-out war of
nerves with its Caribbean neigh
bors to the north and east. And
elements Yithin the country are
helping to keep things stirred up.
Prime target of this nerve war,
which some fear could become a
shooting war, is Costa Rica's
militantly democratic and dicta-
tor-hating president. Jose (Don
Pepe) Figures.
Mr.. Figures Is probably the
most despised chief executive in
Central America. a distinction he
has deliberately sought and ap-
pears to relish.
Outsp0ken Liberal.
Don Pepe's friends say he Is
regionally disliked because he is
an outspoken liberal who never
hesitates to tee on on what he
describes as dictators Of the ex-
IRENE right. His enemies simply
state that he Is an international
northumberland they want
him out.
Inasmuch as Mr.. Figures was
elected only last summer for a
| foar-yearterm they are going
to have to throw him out IL they
are In a hurry, And that is ex-
actly what is being attempted.
(The Costa RIGA govern
ment sent out q strong unit of
civil guards yesterday to pur-
sue a band of 20 armed fol-
lowers of former President
Rafael Calderon Guardia who
attacked the telegraph Office
at vara Blanca. several miles
north of here, the Associated
Press reported.
(The men cut telegraph
wires and took as hostages
three farmers. They then
headed north to San Miguel,
where they raided a bank
and made away with about
$1,000 colonies $4,000. The
men were believed to have
headed toward the Nicaraguan
|, frontier where. unconfirmed
reports have said, Calderon-
ista elements were concentrate
ing.
meanwhile 1t was reported
that Costa Rica has asked FL
Salvador to mediate the i'll
feeling that has been mount
Ing between Nicaragua and
Costa Rica.)
The external pressures come
chiefly from President Anastasio
Somoza Of Nicaragua, who
blames Mr.. Figueres for an as
sassination attempt last April;
President Hector B. Trujillo of
the Dominican Republic, who
says Mr.. Figures is a Commu-
mist. and President Marcos Perez
Jimenez Of Venezuela, whose Bit
terest political enemy, Romulo
Betancourt, was granted asylum
in Costa Rica and has become
an advisor to Mr.. Figures.
There is no love lost between
Mr.. Figures and Col. Jose An

Bv LEE METCALF

One of the closest and most dra-
matte votes of the 83rd Congress took
place on the tax revision and tax
relief bill the other day.
The bill is huge-875 pages. 1t
contains some 5000 changes 30 OF
them major revisions, in the Inter
nal Act. But the issue was simple
The question was whether there was
going to be tax relief for all tax
payers or for very small minority
in the upper brackets. Temporarily,
at least, those who favor tax relief
for everyone lost and thereby mil
lions of Americans also lost.
The House decision in favor OF
the Eisenhower formula of tax re-
duction for the larger taxpayers went
back to several basic propositions.
For the first time since the end OF
World War II and for the second time
in peace time history, we have an
administration recommendation OF
deficit financing and an unbalanced
budget. The Eisenhower budget was
frankly unbalanced the day he SUD-
mitted it. Estimated income was
1927 billion. Estimated dlsburse-
ments exceeded this by $2.9 billion.
In recent years under President
Truman there had been unbalanced
fiscal amounts. But these were not
recommended by the Administration.
Every time Mr.. Truman sent a bud
get up to Congress, he suggested tax
increases to balance his recommends
tions. The trouble was that Congress
refused to levy the taxes to offset
the appropriations it voted.
But the Eisenhower Admins

CRUMBS FOR IS PER Gent OF TAXPAYERS

tration is frankly committed to the
principle of the unbalanced bud
get.
Secondly, the Eisenhower Admins
tration has recommended that, in this
period of an unbalanced budget, there
can be further tax reductions. We
members of the minority party tried
in the House to put these tax re-
auctions where they would benefit
the greatest number of people. 1t was
principally around this attempt that
the controversy arose.
Now | am in favor of legislation
to extend exemption provisions for
foster children, tax relief for retired
persons, on annuities, to widows sup
porting children, deductions of in
terest charges on installment buying,
provisions relating to split income,
students and medical expenses.
In addition, our tax laws need
overall technical revision.
But part company with Presi-
dent Eisenhower and Secretary
Humphrey when they start heaping
tax cuts on the tables of the very
rich and assume that some of it
will ''trickle down" to the middle
and lower income groups.
The bill went to the Senate, where
at this writing the chances are bet
ter than even that Senator George
will be successful in his move to in
crease individual exemptions to $500
from 5000. If that happens, the Con-
gress might compromise on the $500
that was turned down the other day.
But let us assume that the bill
goes into full effect in the form in
which it passed the House. 1t will pro-

100000 people receiving care and
treatment in state hospitals for the
mentally ill. The states are spend
ing more than one-half billion dol

vide total tax relief estimated at
1913 billion year. Only six per cent
of this saving, or sos million, will
go to taxpayers making less than
$4,000 a year = and it is in this
bracket that we find most of the
foster children, the retired persons,
the widowed mothers. SiXty-four per
cent, or $2.4 billion, of this total
would go to corporations.
Now it happens that $2.4 billion
a year also is the estimated cost of
the Democratic proposal to increase
the individual income tax exemption
to $780, This money would, for the
most part, have been used for in
creased consumption of the necessi-
ties of life. This in turn, would stimu-
late business activity at a time when
it certainly needs it.
Going at this from a slightly diff
ferent angle, 9/10ths of the tax saw
ings this bill provides go to corpora
tons and to holders of corporate
stock. Now 31a million families in
the United States own corporate
stock, while 48H million do not. We
can break down that BIZ million
figure to make the picture clearer.
Four-fifth of the total value of cap
ital stock owned by individuals in this
country is owned by $4,000 fam
lilies.
1t wasn't hard to vote "No"
when | was asked if we should re-
write our tax laws largely for the
benefit of 335,OO out of this ma
tion's So million families.
On final passage of H. R. $500,
Rep. D'Ewart voted for tax relief
for the 335, 900 of So million fami-
lies. On the important vote on in
creasing individual exemptions from
5000 to $500, Metcalf voted for
the higher exemptions and D'Ewart
voted against.
