Employer DeIinquencies
With Tax Money Grow

SIS million. Nationwide, some
400, 900 accounts are listed as
delinquent.
Revenue Commissioner T. Cole
man Andrews, discussing the
problem in recent congressional
testimony, reported that its
growth-the delinquecies 'have
almost tripled since 195l-is
worrying US a great deal"
The delinquencies occur when
employers withhold income and
social security tax installments
from their employees pay, but
fail to deposit the money in a
bank each month and pass it
on to the Government each
quarter, as tax law requires. In
stead. they borrow" the money
and use it. usually as business
capital. If, when the time for
quarterly payments to the
Treasury rolls around they
cannot replace the borrowed"
funds. their accounts, become
delinquent.
The law contains a penalty of
l per cent month. coins up to
3 per cent, for failure to pay
quarterly installment.
The Government has author
ity to seize and sell a business,
if necessary. to collect the de-
linquent payments. Frequently.
however. this would mean the
closing down of a business and
hardship on the employees and
the community involved.

To Fill His Peace Role

bits of information as the fact
that 600 years before the birth
of Christ, warning Chinese feudal
lords along the YangtZe River
were able, somehow. to negotiate
a disarmament agreement that
kept the peace for a century
Mr.. Stassen indicates that he's
been doing a lot of other things
he can't talk about. He feels, he
explains, that his job is simply
to make policy recommendations
to the President, not to air his
own views publicly.
He also maintains a strict mo
comment" on whether he will
attend the upcoming Big Four
talks between President Eisen-
hover and the chiefs of state of
the other Big Four powers.
While getting his teeth into the
peace job, Mr.. Stassen is serving
out his time as head of the For
eien Operations Administration,
the foreign aid agency which is
being dissolved He'll drop that
assignment on June 30 and then
devote full time to peace and
disarmament, which now get Just
half of his time.
Peace Job Different
The FOA job has been a very
active one, concerning as it does
the distribution of billions of
American dollars in aid to needy
friendly nations. The peace Job
is quite different. being solely on
policy-making level. But that.
says Mr. Stassen, sis a type of
work more in keeping with my
interests.
He sees many difficulties in his
path. the main one being cyni-
ciSm. But he also feels that there
are clrcumStanceS-the tremen-
dous destructive power of mod
ern weapons. the widespread
yearning for peace, America S
dominant position in the world
to name some-Which may help
his mission.
Mr.. Stassen isn't sure how
much salary he is to receive in
his unprecedented assignment.

Republican nomination. Asked
about the status of these ambi-
tons now, he quotes a statement

pointment to his new post:

one. 1t is to successfully dis
charge this responsibility which
President Eisenhower has placed
upon me, and. with humility, to

BY CHARLES B. SEIB

In an Office overlooking the
White House, Harold E. Stassen,
President Eisenhower new Sec
rotary of Peace" restlessly awaits
his cue to move onto the inter-
national stage.
The cue will be a decision by
the President that this country
is ready to take definite steps to-
ward bringing about world dis
armament. Mr. Stassen seems
to think it is coming sooner than
many people believe.
The Special Assistant to the
President for Disarmament -
that's his official title-sees re-
cent events like the entry of
West Germany into the western
alliance. the Austrian treaty and
the coming top-level Big -Four
conference as links in chain of
events leading to serious dis
armament talks.
Has Cabinet Rank
Mr.. Stassen's assignment is
to devise United States policy
ON disarmament which. If &C

Council and the President, will

the subject.
To help him, he's been given

administration officials. He OPP

people of the world to give him

peace can be achieved-"you
never know where a sound idea
is going to come from"
So far. Mr.. Stassen reports.

geStions from all parts of the
United States in response to a
plea made on television pro-
gram. The world wide bid for
assistance was beamed out by

has not yet begun.
Mr.. Stassen insists that this
call for public assistance has
