KePu6l!con senator Wants to Butcher Sacred Cow.
The 2/I2 Per Cent Break in Oil Depletion Allowance

Senator John j. Williams of
Delaware, who is a Republican,
was a torment to the Tru-
man Democratic administra-
ton when he was digging into
the Internal Revenue Bureau
and exposing scandals in adj
miniStration of our tax laws.
He may become somewhat
the same, though of lesser
degree, to the Republican ad-
ministration. At least he is
raising questions that are en-
barraSsing in some Republican
quarters about tax policies of
the Eisenhower administration.
You may recall that he
caused a stir a few weeks ago
when, in company with Sena-
tor Aiken, Republican. of
Vermont, he introduced an
amendment to the tax laws to
cut the oil depletion allowance
from 2712 per cent to Is per
cent. This fiat deduction, be-
fore taxes, enjoyed by the oil
industry has been among the
untouchables for many years
so far as Congress, itself, is
concerned. Senator Williams
initiative is the more surpriS-
ing since he is, himself, a
member of the Senate Finance
Committee which drafts tax
bills and which is, by and
large, a rather conservative
group rarely inclined to NEEDLE
with sacred cows.
The Senator's assault on
oils privileges might be over
looked possibly, and even for
given. as one of those lapses
to which a Senator is entitled.
Except-now he comes along
to attack one of the most cher
ished parts of the Eisenhower
administrations tax program.
This is the proposed reduction
of taxes on dividends by a
formula designed to modify So
called double taxation of divi-
dendS. Now they are taxed

rightly pointed to the large
number of employed in con-
trast with the small number
who are unemployed. He did
not attempt to give statistics,
but it was quite apparent that
the President exudeS conf
dence about the readjuStment
in business now in progress.
One of the handicaps of the
type of speech which the Pres
ident tried is that in covering
SO many big subjects there
isn't time enough to go into
detail on any of them. His
treatment of the issue of Com
munist penetration in Gov
eminent, for example, was all
too brief, as was his discus
sion of the role of congress
sional investigating commits
tees. He properly stressed the
fine job the FBI has been do
ing. He omitted. however,
mentioning that the FBI did
an, equally good job under the
preceding administration. But
this wasn't of as much avail
because FBI reports were ig-
nored or miAlmized by the
White House. especially in the
Alger Hiss and Harry Dexter
White cases. Nor did Gen. Eli
senhoWer explain. that some
times when the statute of
limitations has run, no prose-
cutions can be instituted even
If FB1 evidence is gathered.
Then the only way to deal with
those who have been engaged
in the Communist cause is to
expose them through con-
gressional hearings. If it were
not for a House committee,
Alger Hiss would not be in Jail
today, even though the FBI
had all the information in it's
files long before he was prose-
cuted for swearing falsely.
Gen. ElSenhower'S talk on the
whole has stimulated a lot of
discussion in Congressman so
much because of what he said
but how he said it. A new force
in political campaigning has
been perfected by Dwight Eli
senhoWer.

Other moves initiated by the
United States have contributed
to further the Russian goal
of weakening anti-Communlst

face an international confer

accomplished this. The SovietS

both at the corporation and
stakeholder levels.
Senator Williams would
simply remove this tax reduc-
ton provision from the volumi-
nous and comprehensive meas
ures revising our internal reve-
nue. laws. That bill, which the
House passed several days ago,
is the subject of public hear
ings beginning this week in the
Senate Finance Committee.
The administration is now
on the defensive on the divi-
dends tax from within it's own
ranks as well as from the
Democrats. The latter have
singled this proviso out as their
chief argument in denouncing
the administration tax bill as
"a rich mans tax bill" In the
House they sought unsucceSs-
fully to eliminate this reduc-
ton and substitute, instead, an
increase in personal exemp-
tons from 5000 to $700 which.
they argued, would help the
rank-and-file taxpayer.
Senator Williams is not max
ing any stump speeches about
the rich and the poor. He
merely says that this business
tax relief is "ill-adviSed at this
time" on the ground of the
budget. He explained that he is
not passing on its merits, but
that the Government can not
afford now to lose the reve-
nue.. The revenue loss is esti-
mated at $214 million the first
year, ranging up to 1914 mil
lion when it becomes fully
effective. The deductions that
can be charged off of divi-
dendS increase gradually to a
maximum at the end of three
years.

atty which is infectious. Per-
haps it is the prestige Of the
positions he has held in crit
/, ical times in the past. and per-
hapS it is because every one
knows he isn't a self-seeking
politician. but it is the Eisen-
hover personality after all
which is the main reason for
the effectiveness of the tele-
vision style he now has mas
tered.
Curiously enough. there
wasn't a lot of new informa-
ton in what the President
said. and some of the Demo-
Gratis who have criticized the
speech for that reason were
perhaps disappointed because
they expected some sort of
profound utterance on the in
ternational situation.
Gen. Eisenhower, neverthe-
less. said many implicitly i'm
portant things, especially as
he analysed Soviet weaknesses
on the economic side and re-
peated the idea of massive re-
taliation in the event that "in
a fit of madness or through
miscalculation" the persons in
the Kremlin should start big
war.
Everything that the Presi-
dent said showed that he didn't
believe a world war was in the
offlng. Certainly, he made it
clear no war would ever be
started on American initiative,
so the question as to whether
the H-bomb will actually de-
stroy any human lives rests
with a Small group of men in
Moscow. BY pointing up this
fact the President focused at
tention on the real source of
potential trouble.
When Gen. Eisenhower dealt
with other subjects. especially
on the domestic side. he was
somewhat vague. Generally
speaking. he was reassuring

The backwash Of the Essen

permanent because Democrats
worked hard tc overcome it

No @. Q. P. Fo||0W-Up in Dixie
But Stephen Mitchell Has Been Busy LAYING Wounds
OF 1852 Left in Democrats Structure in the South

Have Republicans followed
up the Eisenhower victories in
the solid South, consolidating
their apparent gains and ex-
plotting their opportunities?
Will the South help the
President strengthen his frag-
lie control of Congress in the
elections this fall?
Democrats answer an en-
phatic mo" to both questions.
Republicans point to scat
tered advances but do not pre-
dict new gains in House or
Senate. Apparently they will
be satisfied if the smattering of
Representatives who rode into
the House on the Eisenhower
coattails can be maintained
here. They do not expect even
to trouble the nine Senators
from the deep South who are
up this year nor three from the
border States of Tennessee,
Oklahoma and West Virginia.
If Senator John Sherman
Cooper of Kentucky can win
reelection against former
Vice President Barley, they
will be pleased and a little
surprised.
This assessment of the polit-
ical temper of the South does
not take into account eco
nomic and social trends which
will inevitably make for
change in a region once

Relief is sought on the grounds
that the assessment comes close
to the total value of the property
and that the County should have
sought the benefit of expert real
