House Votes to Continue
Business, Excise Toxes

which for several months has
studied ways Of making the ex-
else tax structure more equitable
and efficient.
The decisions and comments
of the subcommittee. headed by
Representative Forand, Demo-
crat of Rhode Island, are SUBJ
ject to approval of the full
committee and eventually of the
House.
Estimates, admittedly incom-
plete or unavailable in some in
stances at this time, indicated
that many of the proposed
changes would cause a revenue
drop of $12.550.000 a year. But
this would be practically offset
by additional revenues of $12.-
100000 from other change

down and have a look for them
selves. Some officials are hopeful
that as rearmament energies
from the talking stage and more
aggressive recruiting programs
get under way, the volume of
enlistments will increase.
However this may be, there is
no denying that the enthusiastic
recruits on display here are hard
to come by in Germany today.
The soldiers themselves are quick
to admit that most of their
friends are still highly sceptical
about the blessings of a military
career. The large majority are
far more interested in the pros
pect of turning an honest pfen-
mig as civilians than devoting
themselves to the service of the
fatherland.

schools which are being set up.
There, while their own training
goes on, the Andernach class
will in turn start breaking in
new patches of volunteers. At
this point, because of the urgent
need for junior officers, the nor
NAL officer-candidate course has
been cut down from three years
to 10 months.
At the beginning. American
training groups will be set up
at each of the new centers. But
as the Germans gain familiarity
with the American equipment,
they will gradually take over
and the GTAG German Train
ing Assistance Group will go
out of business.
How far and how quickly this
process can go depends largely
upon what happens in Bonn
within the next few weeks. Linn
tied as they are under the pres
ent law to a total of 5000 volun-
teers, no rapid expansion of the
new forces is possible today. If
the basic soldiers law passes on
schedule by the end of March,
it would open the way for en-
listments up to the 500.000-man
ceiling for the German armed
forces. But no one is optimistic
that any such flood of voluntary
enlistments will materialize.
The defense department in
Bonn has been quietly accepting
applications for the armed forces
for nearly two years. And of
nearly 100000 requests. it has
turned out that no more than
perhaps $4,000 are acceptable.

nally they know that they are
taking part in a critical expert
ment, in which the theories
about how to build a democratic
German army are being put to
the test for the first time.
So far. the experiment has
worked very well. The enlisted
men and most of the 80 officers
Iat the camp are enthusiastic
about the new regulations which
eliminate the harsher features
of the old army. Those who
aren't are free to change their
minds and go back to civilian life
at any time. but so far only about
20 have left. To Judge from the
activities at Andernach, the life
of German recruit today is
far cry from what it once was.
Even compared to the goings on
at an American boot camp, the
routine here seems relatively
gentlemanly. The drill sergeant

There has been a certain
amount of civilian eyebrow rails
ing about waitreSs-staffed mess

Discipline Well Maintained
The officers are pleased that
there has been no tendency toI
take advantage of the new privi-
leges. And. in fact, to judge
from the amount of spontaneous

goes on. the standard of disci-
pline has not declined noticeably

After two months Of training,
the new soldiers have earned
themselves a reputation with
their instructors of being the
eagereSt of beavers. They have
taken naturally to American
training methods, especially the
use of films with dubbed in
sound tracks, to get over the
finer points of handling the
tools of war. The first four
months is devoted to a basic

He said the U. N. cannot dictate

THE situation is serious and
we are realists. The fire must be

Egypt will emerge stronger than

Referring to the Soviet GOV

went on:
"You say we want war, but
you now have got yourselves into
a position l would call idiotic."
Mr.. Mikoyan i1terjected: Lets

Mr.. Khrushchev continued:
But we don't want to profit
by it. If you withdraw your
troops from Germany, France
and Britain-I'm speaking Of
American troops-we will not
stay one day in Poland, Hungary
and Romania.
But we. Mister Capitalists,

Iscorn in his voice. You have

Don't let us repeat the mis-
