For such Americans this re-
porter would recommend an at
tentive reading of the speech
es delivered at the recent 10th
Congress of the Communist
Party, and the comment there
on in the Soviet press.
A more tedious job, it must
be admitted, would be hard to
find-wading through some $50
pages of the dreariest and most
mendacious prose ever written.
But it is worth the effort.
Familiar Fabricstions
Although the Soviet leaders
are now busy undoing the near
deification of Josef Stain, there
has been no change in the prop
aganda line with respect to the
United States. The common
theme of the new party oracles
at their recent conclave was
the familiar fabrications and
distortions that have been fed
to the Russian people for the
past 40 years: The United States
is decaying state destined for
eventual oblivion, while the
USSR is the coming promised
land.
Considering that nothing but
this thesis is ever allowed to
reach the ears of the average
Russian, that he is kept in total
ignorance of how people live
east of the iron Curtain, it
would be amazing if he did not
believe that he is riding the
wave of the future.
Our feeble efforts TO get
through the barrier with an &C
curate account of life in this
country have failed dismally.
Truth" as Ivan Gets II
Accustomed as he is to getting
his information about his own
land and the rest of the world
from the Communist leaders
and the party-controlled press,
why should he believe that the
Voice of America operates any
differently? Is il not govern
ment agency?
Have not his rulers assured
him over and over again that
anything coming from capital
ist source is bound to be just
pack of lies?
For Ivan the truth" is
to be found in the long and
boastful speeches delivered
from the podium of the Great
Palace in the Kremlin. What,
we may ask, is the truth" as
il was faithfully reported TO
the Russian people by the So
Wet press and radio?

A hot topic among duckpin

big prizes, that the bowler Just
short of being in the star class
must get something back occa-
Sionally or he will quit support

something each year. but after a
while you stop, when it begins to
look as if you'll lost out COM
pletely.
I'm analyzing field of more
than 100 in a recent Baltimore
tournament. it was noted that
bowlers in the under-121 average
class contributed 40 per cent of
the prize fund and took away
only about II per cent. And if
It hadn't been for three guaran-
teed prizes for these near-stars
which amounted to per cent of
the total money, they would
have won only 4 per cent.
I've heard major leaguers OBJ

shot at the main prizes as we'll

same stars should realize that
the entries Of the near-stars
lengthen the prize list and there

DAIRY Professors
WIN SECOND WINDFALE.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
Agriculture Secretary Ezra Benson
won general approval by raising
cheese and butter support prices on
April Is. But by making these prices
retroactive to April l, he cost the
government $4,000 and handed that
money to dairy professors as a wind
fall gain, Congressman L. H. Foun-
tain (D-N. Carr, pointed out here
recently.
The professors won't need to pass
this money on to farmers, as thew
would ordinarily need to do. Foun-
tam said, because they'd already paid
for the milk that went into these
products.
Don S. Anderson, USDA spokes-
man, said there was no way to pre-
vent such windfalls.

Fast Tax Write-Ons Are
Being ScrUtinized

five years instead of its estimated
useful life. If a million-dollar plant
will last 20 years, he deducts $780,
600 from his taxable income every
year for five years instead of deduct
ing $4,000 a year for 20 years. If
corporate tax rates remain the same
(about 50%o), his principal benefit
is an interest-free loan of $4,000
the first year in taxes he didn't pay,
$150,000 the second year, $225,000
the third, 100000 the fourth, and
$375,000 the fifth.
The longer the normal lifetime of
property, the greater the value of this
interest-free loan. A power plant, for
example, will probably last so years.
If tax rates drop within the 5-year
period, then businessmen get a wind
fall.
Last year, Treasury Secretary
George NJ Humphrey mildly suggest
ed ending fast tax write-offs. With
this warning, businessmen raced to
"get under the WIRE" swapping ODM
with applications. In the first nine
months of 1866, ODM granted fast
tax write-offs at the rate of $780,
100000 month. Since October, this
rate has increased to $3.50, 100000
a month.
The congressional committee
staff says, Perhaps the most Sc
rious implication" of the fast tax
write-off program is the control
1T vests in ODM for allocating the
nations resources of iron, copper,
aluminium, water, natural gas, and
oil. Thus ODM replaces, "at least
in part, the impersonal operation
of the free market"
If ODM mistakes in allocating
scarce resources, growth of the whole
economy may be slowed and living
reduced, says the staff re-
port.
businessmen with fast tax write
ifs get Substantial financial bene-

ame industry, the committee staff
ays. Continuing the program ''may
lave serious consequences for the
alrness of tax burden distribution"
The committee staff quoted Hum
'hrey's estimate of an $880-million-a-
ear tax loss through continuation of
he write-offs.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-(CNS)-
To continue fast tax write-offs may
unbalance the economy, lose a lot of
taxes, and unfairly distribute the tax
burden, staff members of the House
Senate economic committee said in
a formal report, May 81.
These fast tax write-offs allow
businessmen to postpone their taxes,
perhaps to escape some of them. At
the very best, they're in effect getting
interest-free loans from the U. s.
Treasury.
''The single justification" for fast
tax write-offs is their contribution to
national defense, Defense Mobilizer
Arthur S. Flemming says. He argues
that businessmen wouldn't be willing
to build new plants unless the tax
payers make it quite profitable.
Fast tax write-offs-or "acceler-
ated amortization allowances" as the
calls them-sprang up in
World War II and died. To meet the
Korean conflict in 1850, Congress
them.
Since then, the Office of De-
Tense Mobilization has granted
write-offs totaling $21 billion on
Fl 900 new investment projects
power plants, refineries, railroad
cars, aircraft plants, rubber fac
tories, etc.
