and increase employment. They
explain 1t would give needed re-
lief to many persons such Is
widows who depend principally
on dividend income. and to thou
sands Of small investors.
The provision, unexplained by
Committee Chairman Da nj !
Reed, aims at easing and eventu-
ally ending double taxation Of
dividends. President Eisenhower's
recent budget message included
such a general proposal. The
message said dividends should
not be taxed twice - first as
earnings Of q corporation and
again as dividends received by
stockholders.
The committee version would
not change the tax so far as cor
porations are concerned. It would
give almost immediate relief to
stockholders by exempting the
first $50 Of dividend income re-
ceived between July 81, 1854, and
August !, 1855. and the flrst 500
annually thereafter.
The major saving to dividend
! recipients would result from a
credit Of S per cent the first year,
| 10 per cent the second year and
IS per cent from then on.
Procedure Is Unusual.
The technically complex and
highly unusual manner Of apply
ing the tax credit would account
in large measure for the COM
paratively large savings in taxes
paid on income from dividends,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-01-31

especially in and after the third
year.
The credit is from 5 to is per
cent Of the dividend income but
Is taken from the tax. It would
work this way In the case of
q single person who earned
5000 in salary and $1,000 in
dividends:
The gross income after .ex-
emption Of the first $50 would be
$3.50. After a 5000 personal
exemption and the standard 10
per cent reduction, the taxable
income would be around $1,000.
Ordinarily, the tax on that in
come would be $2.079.
Under the committees plan,
the. credit would be applied at
this stage Of the calculations. But
! the 5 per cent credit, for in
stance, would be applied not to
the $2.079 tax figure but to the
dividends received over $50. That
would be $3.50 on the basis of
the $1,000 earned in dividends.
The 5 per cent credit would be
$247.5O.
Then the $247.50 credit would
be subtracted from the $2,079
basic tax liability. Thus the tax
payer in this case would have to
pay $1.83l.50 instead Of $2,079.
When the Is per cent credit APP
piled, his tax bill would be cut to
1886.
Might Avoid All Tax.
A married man with depend
ents would have correspondingly
greater savings, especially If
much Of his income was received
in dividends. II it all came from
dividends and If he had two or
three dependents, he could earn
up to $4,000 and probably not
have to pay any tax at all after
the Is per cent credit took effect.
Any one receiving more than
about $4,000 a year entirely in
dividends would have to pay
some income tax. In the highest
brackets such a taxpayer still
might save as much as rs per

Reds Claim 1296 Rise
In Industrial Output
By the Associated Press


MOSCOW, Sunday, Jan. 81
The Soviet government StatiSti-
cal board this morning an
nounced that the major overall
Russian industrial production
was increased IL per cent In
1858 over 1852.
The lengthy report published
by TaSs, official news agency,
said 1885 industrial output ex-
ceeded 1850 by IS per cent.
1t added that the 1858 target
under the five year plan had
been fulfilled by 1O1 per cent,
The report disclosed, however,
that production fell short of 1OC
per cent of the target in some
branches of industry.
These figures were listed:
Metallurgical industry, 80 pei

defeated. and no substitute
adopted. Any favorable action on
an amendment now, they argue,
would be, construed widely as a
victory for the Ohio Senator and
his amendment, and conversely,
a defeat for the President. If
Senator Bricker accepts the pro-
posed substitute and it is adopted,
that might easily be the inter-
probation.
Republican leaders In the Sen
ate, however, are firm in their
conviction that compromise is
the better policy. They fear that
a complete rundown Of Senator
Bricker and his proposed amend
ment would lead to bitter intra-
party fighting and would also
ALLEVIATE some of the groups out
side of Congress who have been
strongly supporting the Bricker
amendment.
Most of the Democratic Sena-
tors are ready to vote for the
George substitute proposal. They
have great confidence in Sena-
tor Georges leadership in for
eign affairs. Senator George and
other Democratic leaders have
been sitting in the conferences
with Senator Knowland and the
Republican leaders. These Demo
Gratis are disinclined. however
to go any further than the
Georgia Senator in concessions to
the Bricker proposal.

could kill the substitute. How
ever. Senator Knowland does
not believe this will happen. An
estimate is that not more than
% Senators will be found voting
against the substitute, and per-
haps not more than Is.
Senator Kennedy said the
American people are amply pro-
tected by the Constitution as it
now stands against, an unwise
treaty. He listed the following
lines Of defense:
Il. The President may refuse
to sign it or decline to submit
it to the Senate.
"2. It's ratification can be pre-
vented by one-third, plus one. in
the Senate.
IS. The Senate is empowered
to make any reservations relat-
ing to any treaty provision.
Il. The Senate at the time of
approving it may add the quail
fication that it not be self
executing internally without fur
ther implementing legislation.
IS. The President in negotiat-
ing a treaty. or the Senate in
agreeing to its ratification. may
provide that such treaty shall be
effective only in those States
whose existing laws SO permit.
Is. Once it is ratified, If 1t is
found to have undesirable ef-
fects, Congress can modify or
eliminate by statute. requiring
only a simple majority, its in
ternal operation, or refuse to en-
act the implementing legislation
or appropriations required for its
execution.
'7. Any President or members
Of the Senate who are not faith
full to their constitutional oath to
uphold the Constitution may be
impeached.
g. If the treaty does impair
rights provided by the Constitu-
ton. the Supreme Court may de-
clare it null and void in whole or
in part.
Curt Decision Cited.
1.-THE Supreme Court" Senator
Kennedy said. has consistently
held that any treaty which con-
flicts with the Constitution will
be held invalid. and there is no
indication whatsoever that the
highest court in the land will
ever hold otherwise. In its de-
cision in The Cherokee Tobacco
case the court stated:
lit need hardly be said that a
treaty cannot change the Consti-
tuition or be held valid If it be
in violation of that instru-
ment.'"

cent Of what he now must pay.
Committee sources say there ID
a considerable number of per-
sons. even in the SO, 900 to So, 900
group, whose income is all from
dividends.
Approximately 6.5 million per-
sons hold stock in corporations.
Most receive periodic dividends.
in some cases only few dollars
and in others many thousands.
The vast majority earn less than
$4,000 a year after taxes. No
authoritative brea kdown is
available to indicate how many
would benefit substantially from
the committees provision.
Loss Could Hit $3.5 Billion.
The committee estimated that
the provision will directly affect
at least 4 million stockholders.
Of whom approximately Is mil
lion would obtain complete re-
lief" under the $50 or 500 ex-
emptions. It figured also that
the provision would cost the
Federal Treasury about $240
million the first year. $500 mil
lion the second year, and close
to 81 billion annually thereafter.
II all such double taxation were
ended the revenue loss would ex-
coed $3.5 billion.
Chairman Reed, in state
ment yesterday, did not mention
the dividend tax provision but
called attention to many other
specific provisions approved thus
far by the committee. He de-
clared the committee is trying
to insure that tax collection in
the future will take into account
the human problems Of the ave
erage taxpayer" Committee de.
cisions at the current daily closed
sessions. he said, represent a
realistic and long-needed recog-
milton in the tax laws of the
needs of American home and
family life"

dicted. will have q humani.

win show how the provision
would affect taxpayers in all
main brackets. whether married
or single or with dependents. It
also would indicate the size Of
the tax based on income derived
from dividends or from salaries
and wages in each category.
The gist Of the Democratic
position is that the overall pro-
vision, and especially the method
Of applying q tax credit over the
next three years, Is unjust. They
note that q married man with
two children who. for example.
earns $4,000 q year from salary
alone would have to pay about
81 800 in taxes.
When the bill reaches the
House floor they repeatedly will
fight to send It back to commit
tee with instructions to strike
out at least the more controver-
sial features Of the dividend pro-
posal. and add q provision to
boost personal exemptions. Such
q move would not necessarily
prevent ultimate enactment of
the bill as q whole.

Truman Supports
President Stand on
Bricker Amendment
BY the Assoeiosed Press

KANSAS CITY, Jan. 3d.
Former President Harry s. Tru-
man today described the Bricker
amendment as a vicious one that
would absolutely ruin any at
tempt of the President to carry
out a foreign policy for the
United States"
He said the measure sponsored
by Senator Bricker. Republican,
of Ohio, seeking to check the
treaty-making power of the
Chief Executive, was IAN attempt
on the part of the iSolationists
to put the country back into
iSolationism, and it must not
happen"
mo man who has been Presi-
dent could stand for that Bricker
amendment" he added.
Releases Interview.
Mr.. Humans views on the
controversial measure were
voiced last Monday in an inter-
view with George Wallace. re-
porter for the Kansas City Star.
At that time the former Presi-
dent asked that his comments
be withheld, pending develop
ments. Today he said the inter-
view could be released.
Asked what the effect would
have been, had the Bricker
amendment been effective at the
time of the Korean situation,
Mr.. Truman replied:
II don't think it would have
had any effect at all"
He added that President Eisen-
hover has the same viewpoint,
land any first class lawyer who
is informed on foreign affairs
would take the same attitude"
In Yalta and POtSdam.
In reply to question whether
charges of some Bricker amend
ment proponents that the Yalta
and Potsdam agreements had
committed the nation morally,
the former President said:
THE charges on the Yalta
and Potsdam conferences are
made without foundation in fact.
Had the agreements made at
Yalta and Potsdam been carried
out by the Russians. there
would have been no cold war;
The treaties referred to in
those agreements would have
been presented to the Senate
for ratification had the proper
stage been arrived at. Those
agreements called for treaties
with Italy and Austria. The
treaty with Italy has been rati-
fled. And proper arrangements
were made for a government of
Germany under a four-power
commission which called for q
united Germany and not a sep
arated Germany. There was
nothing wrong with the agree
ments made at Yalta and Pots
dam, and the situation that A.
nally developed was not the
fault of the governments of the
United States and Great Britain.
It was the fault of the Russians,
who did not keep the agree
mentS."
Mr.. Truman said a constitu-
tional fight in the Senate over
the amendment will be a good
thing for this country and it
will smoke out the people who
are trying to turn the clock
back. Eisenhower knows they
ar? trying to cut his throat. :.
It is vicious situation and the
more you go into it the more
you find it out"

some Of the language was still
being worked over. It Is be-
lieved. however. that the SUBJ
Stitute contains the first section
Of the Bricker amendment
which says: "a provision of a
treaty which conflicts with this
Constitution shall not be of any
force and effect"-or language
having the same meaning. Gen
Eisenhower has said he would
support such a proposition.
May Embody George Proposal.
The substitute also is believed
to contain section 2 of the plan
offered by Senator George. Of
Georgia, ranking Democrat on
the Foreign Relations Commit
tee. This says. "An information
al agreement other than a treaty
shall become effective as in
ternal law in the United States
only by an act of Congress. A
third section Of the substitute
contains. it is believed. the pro-
posal of Senator Knowland that
all treaties be ratified only by a
roll call vote of the Senate.
The controversial which
clause" of the Bricker amend
ment is eliminated. This pro-
vides that a treaty shall become
effective as internal law in the
United States only through leg
islation which would be valid
in the absence of treaty"
Senator Knowland said he
hoped to get a final word from
the President on the substitute
at tomorrow mornings legislative
conference at the White House.
Senator Bricker was in Ohio yes
terday. but Is expected here for
conferences today.
Senator Know1and said he be-
heved the Senate would be able
to vote on the Bricker amend
ment and the substitute by the
end of this week-if the substi-
tuted is agreed on. If no agree
ment is reached between the
warning supporters and oppo-
nents of the Bricker amendment,
he feared the debate might run
for another two weeks or more.
Senator Morse. Independent,
of Oregon, has pending a motion
to recommit the Bricker amend
ment to the Judiciary Com
mittee.
In the midst of the reSurgent
hope for a compromise" and
substitute for the Bricker
amendment, Senator Kennedy
issued this statement:
Il am unalterably opposed to
any constitutional amendment
containing restrictions on our
treaty making power" Kennedy
said. Few issues which will
come before the Senate will have
such far reaching and poten-
TALLY dangerous implications
When it comes to amending the
Constitution we would do well
to apply the traditional role OF
conservatism: Where it is not
necessary to change, it is neces-
sary not to change"
Could Kill Substitute.
Senator Kennedy thus ranged
himself along side a group Of
Senators who will oppose any
change at present in the treaty
making provisions of the Con.
stitution. Some Is to 20 othel
Democrats and a few Republi.
cans hold this attitude. If Sena.
tor Bricker should be unwilling
to go along with the new substi.

Death Rate For
Negro Population
Falls In 1853

JACKSONVILLE @-The death
rate for Florida's Negro popula.
ton took a downward turn last
year, mainly because fewer died
OF tuberculosis and more infants
won the struggle for survival.
The State Board Of Health's bu-
rean of vital statistics said today
that for the first II months Of
1853, Negro deaths numbered 6,Iso
compared with 6.sl2 the year be-
fore. Deaths from tuberculosis for
the same period were down almost
sc per cent--from go to Ia.
Infant deaths among Negroes
dropped from 1850 In 1852 70 sS4
lin 1858 despite the number Of Ne
gro births increasing about tive
per cent.
Among the white population. too,
there was q drop In deaths from
tuberculosis and Of infants but the
total was up from 1850 for the
first IL months Of 1852 to 1854
for the like period in 1853. The
board said the increase in white
deaths may have been due to the
rather rapid increase In the states
population and the increase in the
average age Of residents Of the
state.

Polio prevention, hailed by the

Of the disease.
In addition to lis three programs
of patient aid, professional educa.
ton and scientific research. the
Nati0nai Foundation for Infantas
Paralysis now is entering the field
of actual polio prevention. This
move ushers in a whole new era
in the polio fight. In the past, there
have been three major periods Of
development h the struggle d.

First, there was the ''pre-war''
era, before 1898, when little was

many Of the standard IDEAS about

incorrect. It was discovered, fol
