THE LURE-AND THE DANCEPl

Proposals in the Senate to increase per
sonal income tax exemptions from the pres
ent 5000 to $500 or even 81 900 are admitted
ly alluring. But they are a grave threat to
the national economy and consequently to
every American.
An increase in exemption to $1,000 would
excuse one taxpayer out of every three from
paying any Federal income tax whatever.
i would cost the Treasury approximately
OOO,OOO,OOO-and the Treasury already is
IN the red. 1t could only make up this ire
m!endous loss OF revenue by further borrow
ing-further increasing the national debt
which now is close to the appalling figure If
$275.000, 900, 900.
The House of Representatives killed a
move to increase the exemption. For the
good of all of us-for the good Of genera
tions to come-the move should be killed in
the Senate also.

Hiring | oiRepublicans
TO Take Employment
Statistics Criticized

A reported policy of hiring
mostly Republicans to make
house-to-house interviews on
which the Governments en-
ploynent statistics are based has
been criticized by an outside
study group.
The three-man group. set up
by Secretary Of Commerce
Weeks. made no finding that
biased reports resulted but said
it was not a desirable system. "
The report said the Census
Bureaus regional Offices were
free to hire on their own only
when local G.. O. p. leaders "in-
dicated in writing" they could
not recommend any one to fill
vacancies. 1t added that this
seldom happened. The jobs are
not under civil service.
The Census figures have played
a large role in the current politi-
cal campaigns. October figures
showing a $4,000 drop in un-
employment were made public
by administration leaders, and
AFL President George Meany
said the administration Jumped
the gun" by giving out the figures
10 days ahead of schedule.
Serving on the study commit
tee regarding employment statis-
tics were Prof. Frederick F.
Stephen of Princeton University,
Lester r. Frankel, vice president
of Alfred Politz Research. Inc,
and Lazare Teper. research di-
rector of the AFL Ladies Gar
ment Workers Union. All are
members of the American Statis-
tical Association.

system of selecting census emu
merators resulted in delays and
observed "this is not the most
effective and desirable system
of recruiting"
