WASHINGTON Up - Incoming
members of Congress show some
inclination to reduce individual in
come taxes by raising personal ex-
emptiOns and stop right there
with tax cuts.
A majority of senators and House
members taking a definite stand
in an Associated Press poll favors
higher personal exemptions. But
the margin is less than SO among
the 12S members replying. And
even should the 84th Congress de-
eide to ease up on taxes on individ-
uals, it may wait until 1856.
Among lawmakers responding to
the QUESTIONABLE, there is heavy
support for President Eisenhower's S
bid to postpone again a reduction
in the corporation income tax now
set automatically for April I. There
is somewhat less enthusiastic back
ing for his request to put off a
cut in excise (sales) taxes sched-
uled for the same date, but
enough to indicate Congress, may
&c along on bipartisan basis.
The picture on both corporate
and excise taxes could change,
since many lawmakers still aren't
committing themselves on them.
Congressional opinion at this
point appears to be weighted
against any major changes in the
massive tax revision law passed
last SINNER and against amend
ing or repeating a controversial
ct in the tax on dividends. Mem
bers are 53-41 against tampering
with the revision law and nearly
two to one against changing the
dividend tax.
On a separate 1855 issue which
will be handled by the same con-
gressional committees that process
tax bills, both Democrats and
Republicans lined up Overwhelm-
ingly behind EiSenhower's propoS-
al that Congress give him more
power to reduce tariffs on re-
ciprocal basis with other nations.
( The poll produced replies from
12S of the 531 members of Con-
gress, nom Al of the 4S states.
Some legislators omitted or gave
only partial answers to questions
on taxes. About one out of six
said the governments budgetary
and financial situation would guide
his decision. on tax legislation.
Some said they would vote for
tax reductions only if the budget
is balanced or nearly so, and a
balance isn't in sight.
The administration now expects
to run nearly five billion dollars
in the red during the present
fiscal year. 1t figures that govern
ment spending will exceed income
by around three billions in the
next fiscal year starting July I.
Should Congress let excise and
corporate income taxes drop as
provided under present law, next
years deficit would go up by some
three billions more. The excise
taxes apply to such big sellers as
gasoline, liquor, cigarettes and
cars.
The poll showed that IL senator's
and So House members definitely
favor keeping the corporate income
tax rate at the present 50 per cent
level instead of letting it fall to AZ
Der cent. Only one senator and 10
House members want it to come

SIX MILLION CHRISTMAS GIFTS

The Office OF Foreign Operations has already start
ed shipment of six million Christmas food parcels
from the United States to countries in all
parts of the world This is part of Christmas spirit be-
ing demonstrated by the United States its friends and
neighbors this holiday season.
The packages are made up by the Foreign Operations
Administration and utilize surplus foods obtained from
the Department of Agriculture. Some 1000 of them
will be distributed to the armed forces overseas.
The packages are estimated to be worth about 81 SO
EACH and contain pound of butter pound of cheese,
pound of dried milk, pound of dried BEANS three
pounds of rce five pounds of flour pound of short
enng and one pound of canned beef and gravy. All of
these foods, except the beef, are surplus foods
Variations are made in packages sent to the Near
East and to the Far East to suit the taste of peoples in
those areas It is estimated that 100000 packages will
be sent to Europe 100000 to the Far East 100000
to the Near East and Africa and about to Latin
America.
The Government in distributing these 100000
Christmas gift packages will certainly gain goodwill in
every of the earth and is only regretted that
similar packages could not be distributed to the needy
in this country.
Such program would raise many questions to
favorts, cries of politics, and much pickering In view
of these difficulties, the burden of help for the needy
must fall individuals, civic groups and local COM
munites. There is not community in this country
where there is not real need for such Christmas charity

to begin preparations early, and make this Christmas

Ground Cover Stops
Sub Floor Ro++ino

Decay of the sills, joists and
other wood in the subfloors of
houses without easements can be
prevented by a soil cover. A 12-
year US. Department of Agricul-
ture study of basementless houses
in wartime housing projects show
ed that covers laid on wet soil
under a house, acts as a barrier
against moisture rising from the
soil.
The cover may be asphalt coat
ed paper such as roll roofing, la
minated papers with a water
proofing material, or thin metal
foils. All are inexpensive.
The researchers found that such
covering keeps the moisture
content of sills, joists and other
subfloor wood well below the 20
to Is percent commonly regarded
as the safety limit in preventing
decay by fungi. 1t doesn't need
to be Tapped, cemented or fasten-
ed down; nor does the soil have
to be level. The study showed
that where wet soil under houses
without easements was not COW
cred, the moisture content of sub
floors often was well above 20
to 25 percent. The moisture comes
from vapors condensing on the
wood during cold weather.
When the wood stays wet, fun

decay and possibly structural
failure.
The study showed that when
wet soil under basementsless
houses is covered, ventilators in
foundations may be closed with
safety in the winter. This helps
to keep floors warm.
The moisture in soil beneath
houses can be lowered by proper
grading around the house and by
use of cutters and downspouts to
carry rain water away from
foundations.
It is recommended that the
crawl space beneath a house (the
space between the joists and the
soiD be at least Is inches. This
allows room enough for laying
a soil cover after a house is
built, if such becomes necessary.
