IceIund's Bolt

The worlds Oldest parliament is
the l,026-year-old Althing which
governs Iceland. an island about
four times the size of Maryland
lying midway between Moscow
and Washington on the Arctic
route
In World War II Iceland was
garriSoned first by Britain, and
then by the United States, as a
guardian for allied shipping in the
North Atlantic. In World War III,
if any. Iceland will be an even
more strategic piece of real estate.
In the missile age. it would be an
important launching site for either
Of the two most likely protagonistS,
the United States or the USSR. II
would also be a desirable base for
missile interception.
In l949 Iceland reluctantly fol-
lowed her mother country" Den
mark. into the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization, and in May
1851, United States forces were
stationed there. Our principal in
stallations are an air base SO miles
southwest of the capital of Reykia-
vik and q fuel depot at Hvalfjordur
nearby.
Last week the Althing voted, 81
10. for a resolution asking the with
drawal of all American forces. The
principal reason was that the &C.
neva conference Of last summer
had disclosed a new climate of os-
tensible peacefulness in the world.
There was not going to be war.
the foreign minister reasoned in his
appearances before the legislature,
so 1t was time to think about get
ting foreign troops out.
United States officials were Wor-
ried. but not panicked. For one
thing, we are more Solidly en-
trenched in nearby Greenland, so
that loss of Iceland would not be
completely catastrophe. For an
other, our officials are not con-
vinced the Iceland parliament really
means it. There is an election
scheduled up there for June, and
this vote may have stolen an issue
from the Communists.
At any rate. American policy
makers were comforting themselves
by contemplating the prospect that
the new parliament would not fol-
low through on the resolution if
the voters gave them half chance.

TRANSIT
BecIouded Situation
Worsens as z Houses
Try Different Plans

House and Senate committees
seeking solution to the Washing
ton transit crisis galloped of in
opposite directions last week.
The Transportation Subcommit-
tee of the House Interstate ard
Foreign Commerce Committee,
headed by Representative Oren
Harris. Democrat of Arkansas. told
the District Commissioners and
officials of Capital Transit Co. TO
sit down and work out terms for a
new franchise to keep the company
in business. Under present law.
etc will die by act of Congress at
midnight next August ID.
To guide the conversations. the
subcommittee laid down seven
principles, under which CTC would
get considerably less than it had
asked for-principally freedom to
set its own fares so long as It's rae
of return did not exceed per cent.
The subcommittee. for example,
suggested there should be opportu-
nifty for the company to earn up
to 6l2 per cent" but did not recon-
mend any relaxation of regulation
by the District Public Utilities Com
mission. with which etc has been
feuding for several years.
The District Commissioners, con-
sequently. held an inconclusive
meeting with j. A. B, Broadwater,
president of etc. Later. they an
nounced they are having a new
franchise drafted for etc in accord
with the subcommittee seven
principles. but still favor their pro-
posal to have Congress set up

fusion among Communist parties
was multiplying. A revolt was brew
ing among the Italian Reds. French
Communists were cropping for a new
policy. Party leaders from the two
countries arranged a special meet
ing to map strategy. Apparently
they were trying to decide how far
astray they could safely wander
from the Moscow line.

A Second Look
In East Germany review of the
Stalin-regime purgeS has been
scheduled. There, as throughout
the Communist world, suppressed
minorities in the Red parties were
challenging the present leadership,
= trying to identify it with past Stain
excuses and take over the top spots
themselves.
Despite its transparencies, how
ever, the new Soviet peace often

what are you going to do to help
me?"
No more embarrassing question
could be asked in Washington to-
day. The plight of the farmer is
generally accepted as the Nation S
hottest political potato. Prices
Farmers received in mid -March-al-
though up 2 per cent since mid
February-were ga per cent below
those of a year ago and about 26.5
per cent under the record high of
February. 1851. Acutely aware of
his failure to share in the general
prosperity. the farmer has given
evidence in recent weeks, notably
in the Minnesota primary, that he
is ready-in fact, eager--to act at
the polls against those he considers
responsible for his situation.
This is the context in which 10
members of the House and Senate
are attempting to hammer out a
compromise version of farm legiSla-
ton passed in each House. 1t is
also the context in which President
Eisenhower and his Agriculture
Secretary. Ezra Taft Benson, must
decide whether to veto whatever
Congress finally approves.
So far as the White House was
concerned. the House-Senate con-
ferees last week stirred together
two unpalatable bills and came UP
with a mixture even more un-
palatable.
Here were their major decisions:
. On Tuesday they voted to restore
price supports fixed at 80 per cent
Of parity. This would end the
Eisenhower-sponsored flexible sup
port program and substitute the
Democratic-backed rigid supports,
vigorously attacked by the admin
istration as the cause for price
depressing SURPRISES.
. On Thursday they voted to in
clude in the bill "two-price" plans
for wheat and rice growers. Under
the wheat plan. farmers would re-
celve 100 per cent Of parity-a CAL
culated fair return in relation to
farm costS-for wheat consumed
domestically by humans. The sup
port level on the remainder. about
half OF total production, would be
set by the Secretary of Agriculture.
Farmers would have to cast a two
thirds vote to put the plan in opera
ton in 1857. The rice plan. which
would set a 80 per cent support on
rice consumed domcstically, would
become effective at once.
. Later on Thursday they agreed
to boost from rs to 80 per cent the
supports on milk and dairy prod
uctS and to put the manufacturing
milk support level at $3.25 a hun
dredWeight. an arbitrary 10 cents
above the 80 per cent figure.
AS the week drew to a close, SEN
ator George Aiken. Republican of
Vermont, the administration lead
ing spokesman in Congress on farm
matters, said bitterly that I'VE are
making no progress at all toward
effective farm legislation"
Unless the conferees suffer a Sc
we're reversal when their bill reaches
House and Senate fioors-and that
seems doubtful-the administration
is faced with choice between ac-
ceptine a farm program it has de-
nounced as basically harmful, or
vetoing 1t and thereby continuing
the present flexible price support
program. which has received a cool
reception in many farm areas.

Cyprus

On nearby Cyprus, the British
continued to pursue repressive
policy in the hope of stamping out
the terrorism and virtual guerrilla
war conducted by Greek Cypriots
who favor unification with Greece
to Colonial status under the British.
The new strategy of Field
Marshal Sir John Harding, the gov
ernor of Cyprus. is to force the
Cypriot populace to inform on the
hard-core DISCRIMINATION advo-
Gates responsible for frequent out
breaks of violence He is applying
collective punishment" to whole
communities in the form of strict
curfews. or even by uprooting
families in the hope that Cypriots
will become so fed up with the
inconvenience they will refuse to
support or hide the terrorists.

position. it was time to crack down.
Revenue Commissioner Russell
c. Harrington admitted frankly
after the raid was publicized that
1t was news" to him, although as
Mr.. Moysey's boss he took respon-
sIblity.
Wednesday morning Mr.. MoySey
rushed to Washington for a long
talk with Mr.. Harrington and
Treasury General Counsel Fred c.
Scribner, jr. Afterwards Mr.. Har-
rington assured reporters that the
case was being handled precisely
as any other similar taxpayer mat
ter would be handled"
Official sources emphasized that
the Nationwide scope of the raids
did not prove existence of advance
knowledge in Washington They
said cooperation with Mr.. Moysey
by agents in other cities was quite
in accordance with established
practice, 1t vas said.
One source said that 1t had been
known in Washington that the
Communist Party and the Daily
Worker were on a list of some
dozens of individuals and groups
with whom the bureau was having
difficulty. But this same source in
sisted that it would not have been
proper and could very we'll have
opened the bureau to criticism if
the Communist cases had been
tagged for special handling from
Washington.
While officials here we're firm in
saying that Mr.. MoySey acted leg
ally, there was no clear informal
ton on how usual or unusual are
such surprise raids without advance
notice. 1t was explained that dis
trict director sometimes takes some
action when he has reason to be-
lleve that the alleged tax delinquent
Is about to abscond. There is no
evidence, however, that Mr.. Moysey
believed the Reds were about to
decamp with their battered type
writer's and shaky desks.
Just Exosperotion9
The real reason behind his move
seemed to be evaporation with a
runaround he was getting from the
Reds. He was quoted by Revenue
Bureau spokesman as saying:
When my office asked the Com
munist Party headquarters to see
their books. they showed no books.
They refused to answer questions as
to funds they are known to have re-
celved. They were given an appli-
cation for tax exempt status and re-
fused to execute it. Therefore,
felt that under the law, the tax COL
lector was justified in going in to
force their hand"
The Daily Worker, which ran its
first post-raid edition with the de-
liant headline OUR OFFICE
SEIzED-HERE WE ARE" says
that 1t operates in the red to the
tune of 100000 year. It has filed
returns reporting a loss since 1924.
The case against the Party raises
a separate question The Party,
like tho Democratic and Republican
Parties, has not filed tax returns.
However, Revenue agents repeatedly
have raised question as TO whether
The Communist Party was a propa-
Randa organization (Which would
be taxable) rather than a tax-free
political organization.
How did Mr.. Moysey arrive at
the figure in the tax liens? Revenue
Service spokesman said this was
done on the basis of bank and other
records agents had been able TO
find and is not intended to repre-
sent definitive liability figure.
The situation was still in a state
OF turmoil as the week ended, with
conferences going on between Mr..
Moysey and lawyers for the Com
munists.

Lyndon johnson to become a Texas
favorite son was an effort to ma

camp.
Mr.. Rayburn, in his response,
said that he favors a delegation to
the convention that is pledged to
support the Democratic nominee
and to work for that nominee.
Senator Johnson, who has not
said whether he will accept the
favorite son designation, echoed
Mr.. Rayburn's call for support for
the Democratic nominee.
