emily Mr.. Almond recognizes the impor-
lance of the Northern Virginia vote and
is determined to make a real fight for
support in the area, instead of ignoring it.
Although Mr.. Almond asserted that
His visit to Arlington last week end was
"nonpolitical," it was plain that the well
coming delegation of Democratic leaders
in the communities along the Potomac
was looking ahead to the race for Gov
ernor. And Mr.. Almond said he would be
a frequent visitor in the region during
the months ahead. All of this attention
is novel and refreshing experience for
the neglected northern counties and
cities, giving rise to hope that, regardless
Of who is elected Governor, the populous

in the primary and the election, with or
without Northern Virginia's aid.
Mr.. Almonds decision to campaign

Caution on Tax Relief

There is likely to be more debate than
action on tax legislation in this first
session Of the new Congress. There are,
however, certain areas of the tax field
in which the legislative and executive
branches are expected to reach agree
ment without difficulty and to take ac-
ton accordingly. One is the extension
OF current rates on corporation incomes
and another is continuance of most Of
the present excise taxes Both will drop
on April l unless new legislation is en-
acted. About SO billion in total revenue
is involved. President Eisenhower and
Republican Congressional leaders already
are in agreement on the extensions.
In the excise field, House Ways
and Means subcommittee has been study
ing a major ovefhauling, but revenue
needs may result in only scattered
mittee has been studying loopholes and
unintended effects of other tax provisions
and some corrective amendments may be
pushed through at this session.
1t is in the field of individual income
tax reduction that there seems least
prospect for action, although there may
be bills introduced. One Democratic
group in the Senate already has promised
to seek legislation which would reduce
the tax burdens of low-income families"
and considerable support for at least
shifting of the income tax load is likely.
The congressional leadership Of neither
party has indicated, however, that it will
throw any effective weight behind such
q move.
On the administration side, the posi-
ton on tax reduction has been clear and
consistent. 1t favors tax relief when
there is sufficient budget surplus to
grant it without increasing the public
debt. Unofficial estimates on the new
budget do not appear to promise enough
margin for such action this year. The
fact that inflationary pressureS have in
creased in recent months, and that any
substantial tax reduction tends to be
inflationary itself, indicates that the adj
miniStration will oppose such relief in
1857. BurdenSome as taxes are, depreci-
alton of the dollar and its day-to-day
purchasing power would be vastly more
harmful. The administrators caution
on tax relief seems well justified.

Worthwhile Study

Forthcoming local study Of the human

well worthwhile. The research will be
done by George Washington University's
Department Of Psychology under a grant
of $18,245 by the National Institutes OF
Health.
The study will be into Human Be-

to which problem drivers" are referred
for physical and psychiatric examina-
tions The Detroit clinic has been
credited with eliminating from the high
ways hundreds of drivers found to be
mentally unqualified to be at the wheel
Of an automobile. The study here may.
turn up facts that would warrant serious
consideration OF a District clinic for
accident-prone drivers. The project will
be watched with interest by all persons
and organizations concerned with reduce
