The New 7 ak Bill Takes Shape
Humphrey Philosophy Viewed as Prevailing in Measure
Emphasizing Relief for Business and Industry

The administration tax bill
emerged from a rather stormy
course through the Senate
after earlier approval by the
House-with the tax philos-
ophy Of Secretary of Treasury
George M. Humphrey prevail
ing in the main.
Despite attacks on some
provisions e m b odying the
Humphrey philosophy, both by
Democrats and Republicans,
the measure still puts chief
emphasis on relief for business
and industry. This Is on the
theory that such will help to
expand production and create
jobs, and thus benefit the
average fellow and his family.
Secretary Humphrey resents
the Democratic habit of calling
this 1.-THE trickle-d own-from-
the-top theory" denying the
imputation.
Improvement in economic
conditions and a slight de-
crease recently in unemploy-
ment undoubtedly were effec-
tive in the failure Of DEM
ocrats to get direct relief for
the rank and file taxpayer
through an increase in per-
sonal exemptions. This inn
provement took some of the
force from the argument that
such reduction for the small
taxpayer was necessary to in
crease consumer purchasing
power in order to halt the
recession.
BY standing firfh against
across-the-board direct relief,
the administration took cer-
tain political risks. Already la
Dor is making this an issue
against the Republicans. From
o simple issue Of fundamental
Justice, it could broaden also
into an economic issue should
business conditions deteriorate,
between now and election. In
that case Democrats would
point back to the failure to
pump more money into the

A little-noticed agreement
reached Ia washington last
month between Secretary Of
state Dulles and Carlos r.
Ronnllo. personal representa-
tive Of President Magsaysay Of
the Philippines. Is likely to have
far-reaching effects on Ameri-
can prestige In Asia.
Mr.. Dulles and Mr.. Romulo
are old friends. Both played
key roles IN the negotiations
leading to the signing OF the
United States philippines MI
tual Defense Treaty In 1850.
The two diplomats, after a.
series OF conferences, an
nounced an agreement to Inn
plement the treaty by creation
Of q council consisting OF the
United States Secretary Of
State or his deputy and the
Philippine Secretary Of Foreign
Affairs or his deputy. to discuss
matters Of mutual concern to
the two nations whenever they
arise. Each member of the
Council will be assisted by
military representatives. and
either party may request meet
ings at any time.
The significance Of this ac-
cord lies in its favorable effect
on United States prestige
among the doubling peoples Of
Asia. Communist propaganda,
pounding on the "colonialism"
line, has repeatedly stressed
the alleged unwillingness Of
the United States to enter into
truly effective treaties with
non-white nations, or to carry
them out II negotiated.
This propaganda line has
been redoubled in the past few
years. obviously in the hope
that the nations linked to the
United States in any way
through the Pacific chain Of
defense might come to ques-
tion Americas good faith and
willingness to defend them in
a showdown with the Reds.
Winning the confidence and
good will Of the Asiatic ma
tons has been more than an
uphill battle for United States
policymakers and diplomats.

Adlai Stevenson seemed to

Of Senator Knowland, Repub-

to say last Friday In backing
up Mr.. Knowland.

United States get out Of the

hearted support Of the minor

with splendid patriotism and
non-partisanship concurred in
what the Republican leader Of
the Senate said.

The Oregon Senator showed
up the hypocrisy which per-
meated consideration Of the
tax bill by the Senate, includ-
ing the argument against direct
relief for the small taxpayer
that 1t would cost too much.
That had been used in defeat
ing q proposal for a fiat $40
deduction for every taxpayer
by Senator Long, Democrat, Of
Louisiana, just before Senator
Morse took the floor to explain
how costly were the deprecia-
stion allowances.
He get an assist In revealing
the hypocrisy from Senator
Humphrey. Democrat, Of Min
nesota, who pointed out that
the loss from the Long proposal
would be small as compared
with losses not only from the
increased depreciation allow
ances, but from many other
special provisions for business,
including the 271a per cent de-
pletion allowance for the oil
industry and oil men, which
is a fiat exemption Of that
amount before taxes are COM
puted. It previously was re-
ported here how the Senate
refused to permit a record
roll-call vote on amendments
to reduce the Oil depletion
exemption, one jointly .spon-
sored by two Republicans.
Senator's Williams Of Delaware
and Aiken of Vermont, the
other by a Democrat, Senator
Douglas Of Illinois. Both were
defeated.
The reason for this secrecy
on the vote affecting Oil was
blurted out by Senator Douglas,
who said that this windfall had
helped to create the Texas oil

From the ordeal in House

the administration laid en-
phasis is increased deprecia-
