Tax Cut Certain, Now or Later
Democrats Want 1t Now for Its Political Capital
Republicans Want 1t Loter for Same Reason

George Gallup. the public
opinion expert, has said that
elections are won on the sit
uation developed in the year
before the votes are actually
cast. In their frontal attacks
on President Eisenhower,
Speaker Rayburn and the
Democratic National Commit
tee give evidence that they
agree with Mr.. Gallup.
Not all of the party's best
minds go along, either on the
strategy generally or the
quickie tax program the Ray
burn leadership has launched
in the House. Notably, the
Southern leaders of the Sem
ate feel that President Eisen-
hover is still the vogue and
that they should mark time.
The odds therefore are
against a tax cut now, but it
will be a different story in
1856. Deficit or no deficit, the
tax story next year will show
both parties trying to "get
there fustest with the most
est"
The fact is that the Presi-
dent implanted in Democratic
minds the idea of a tax ma
neuver when in his economic
report to Congress he held out
hope Of a tax cut next year.
He chose his words carefully.

Defense Pact Signed
By Iraq and Turkey;
Egypt Plans Action
BY the As.eeiossd Press

BAGHDAD, Iraq. Feb. as
Iraq took up q post in the West
ern defense lineup today after
signing a mutual defense pact
with Turkey. She is the first
Arab state to forsake a neutral
role in the East-West cold war.
In Cairo, a high government
spokesman promptly declared
Egypt would call a meeting Of
all Arab League nations except
Iraq and demand expulsion Of
Baghdad and revision Of the
league agreement.
If the demand is not needed.
he added, Egypt will either
withdraw from the eight-nation
group or renounce any commit
ment to defend Iraq. The Arab
League is a collective security
alliance. Egypt, generally
acknowledged as its leader, has
insisted the Arabs should stick
to their neutralist position and
depend on themselves for de-
fe1se.
Defying Egyptian threats,
Iraqi Premier Nuri Said signed
the agreement with Turkey last
night after six hours of almost
continuous discussions with Tur-
kish Premier Adnan Menderes.
Turkey is a member of the
North Atlantic Treaty Alliance.
Her pact with Iraq is the first
to link an Arab state specifically
for defense against any Commu-
mist aggression in the Middle
East.
The other Arab League men,
bers are Egypt, Syria, Lebanon,
Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen
and Libya.
One nation previously men,
toned as a possible member Of
the new alliance was Syria. But
the Syrian Parliament last night
gave Premier Sabri Assan q
66-53 confidence vote on his
decision to stay out.

Somebody had forgotten to tell

supposed to be distributed to Mr..

Gratis in advance of their formal

they have been laying on a table

Bundestag Rejects
New Move 10 Delay
Paris Treaty Debate
BY tho Assoeiaied Press

BONN, Germany, Feb. rs. -
Parliament today rejected new
attempt by the Socialist opposi-
ton to suspend debate on the
Paris treaties to free and rearm
West Germany.
It was the second such un-
successful maneuver since the
three-day debate on treaty rati-
f1cation started yesterday in the
Bundestag dover house,.
A spokesman for Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer's Christian
Democratic Party told the Depu-
ties that the Saar, whose future
European" status under the
Paris pacts touched of q rebel
lion by two parties of the govern
ing coalition, is German terri
tory"
Saar Link ''Regrettable." =
The spokesman, Otto Lenz,
said 1t was "regrettable that
France has linked the Saar
agreement with the Paris
treaties" But he said nobody
had any better solution for de-
termining the future of the Saar.
That industrially rich territory,
German before World War II,
now is virtually autonomous but
tied to France economically.
But he emphasized the Saar
will have an opportunity to de-
eide its own political future at
a plebiscite.
Mr.. Lenz spoke as the Bundles
tag reached the midway point
Of the debate which is running
behind schedule. The semifinal
vote originally set for today may
be postponed until tomorrow.
The final vote will be held soon
thereafter.
Mr.. Adenauer told the Bund-
estag he had accepted a tempo
rary European status for the Saar
after refusing to Join the pro-
jected Western alliance If the
Saar were detached from Ger
many permanently. He said
France had demanded permanent
separation at last October's
Paris conference.
Intended to Drop Treaties.
II could not accept this re-
sponsibility," he added. "In this
case I had the firm intention to
let the entire Paris treaty COM
plex collapse"
The Chancellor said Socialist
Deputy Karl Mommer. who as
sailed Europeanizing the Saar
in today's debate, had admitted
in Paris it was "a fair basis" for
a provisional settlement.

mitting that he has been try
ing to beat the administration
to the punch since the Presi-
dent was going to ask for tax
cuts next year.
Mr.. Rayburn realizes that
the administration waS smart
politically when it changed its
tune from budget balancing to
the evil OF present high tax
rates. Despite all the lip serv-
ice paid to budget balancing,
there is almost no evidence
that it has political sex appeal.
Given the alternative of
lower taxes or q balanced
budget. the new Eisenhower
administration at the height
of its popularity chose to cut
taxes. Many people felt then
that this was the point of no
return on a black-ink fiscal
policy, at least as long as in
ternational tensions made it
necessary to spend huge sums
on defense.
The Eisenhower leaders who
are fighting the House bill this
week are said to be promising
Republicans that If they vote
no this year they will get an
other selective tax bill that
they can run on next year.
These promises will increase
the pressure on the President
for tax cuts next year.

ton. the immediate effect is
to hurt the people Of fixed
incomes--white-collar workers
and others who for the mo-
ment, at least, are on relatively
fixed incomes. But, in the long
run, the person who is hurt
most Is the person who lays
aside savings in the form of
pensions, insurance plans, and
savings bonds for use in his
older age.
For example, anybody who
paid up all of his share Of a

the worth of the dollars Of the

a budget that contemplated a

and I assure you it is hard

Nov. (if we increase the
deficits) we are going back to
deficit spending. the most in
sidious thing that can happen
to a free economy, and partic-
ularly in its bad effects upon
