ISOLATION Of Retired Civil Serv-
ice Employees believes District
authorities have not played fan
with the taxpayers. There are
some civil service annuitants
who also receive social security
benefits.
Mr.. Abel related that, begin
ming a year ago. he wrote -four
letters to District authorities or
the subject. He said his only
reply was that one Of his letters
had been forwarded to Mr.
Martin.
Mr.. Martin said he made a
report to the Commissioners on
January 2. He added that his
report contained two recon-
mendations:
/. That if social security bene-
fits are to be made nontaxable
that step should not be taken by
administrative action but by a
change in the law.
2. That the law should not be
changed.
Taxed in Four States
4 Four States-Colorado. Mas
SachuSettS. North Carolina and
Oregon--tax social security ben
efitS. according to Mr.. Martin
He gave this other information
20 States do not tax such bene-
fits: he believes three other
States do tax them but he does
not have definite information,
and there are three States on
which he has no information at
all.
All States do not levy income
taxes.
G. M. Thornett. secretary to
the Board of Commissioners. said
Mr.. Martins report in response
to Mr.. Abel's complaint had been
sent to Schuyler Lowe. director
of general administration.
The Internal Revenue Service
said its first ruling that social
security benefits are tax-exempt
was made in 1898. There was no
provision in the law one way
or another.
Various laws, it was explained
made tax exempt Railroad Re-
tirment annuities, unusued mill
tary leave compensation, muster
ing out pay and various other
benefits. But Congress never saw
fit either to upset the ruling on
social security or to write the
ruling into law.
The number of beneficiaries OF
social security in the District and
the amounts they receive now
run to large figures.
Mr.. Martin said that, in the
year ended last June 30, the
number receiving social security
payments was 3l.5l0. He said the
payments for that year amounted
to about $40 million.

Million
S|ashed From
Fund Measure
Action by House
Group Indicates
Cuts in BUDGET

If the first money bill Of the
year, which came from the
House Appropriations Commit.
tee today. is any indication. the
House is going to take Treasury
Secretary Humphrey at his wore
and try to cut the administra-
TONS new budget.
The first urgent deficiency bill
OF 1857 was cut by $46.9 million
from a requested 1882 million
to $685. million.
1t consists of miscellaneous
items covering agriculture. small.
business. and the Departments
of Interior and Health, Educa-
ton and Welfare.
The biggest cut was the COM
plete elimination of $50 million
asked for by Interior to buy ar
assortment of domestic minerals
for the Government stockpile.
The committee found there
was no defense justification for
the purchase of additional sup
plies of tungsten. asbestos, fluor-
spar and columbium- tantalum.
Secret Testimony Revealed
Coincident with the reporting
OF the bill, the committee made
secret testimony taken 10 days
ago in which House members
tried without success for several
hours to get Secretary Hum
phrey to single out any specific
item in the budget that could be
cut.
Mr.. Humphrey stuck to his
recent statements that the public
and the executive and legisla-
tive branches should continue to
look for places to cut spending.
But at the same time he insisted
the budget as submitted repre-
sentS the best figures the admin
istration can come up with at
this time for each activity.
He urged congressional COM
mittees to spend the next five or
six months searching for econ
omies in the appropriation bills
and said the departments should
then spend the next IL months
looking for places TO save on
spending.
Mr.. Humphrey denied he had
ever said the budget as submitted
contains any particular items
that should have been reduced
In the presentation.
One Chance to Cut
Chairman Cannon. Democrat
81 Missouri, reminded the Sec
rotary that Congress gets only
one chance to cut. when it is
voting on an appropriation bill.
He said 1T has been the UNI
happy experience of the COM
mittee that whenever We appro-
pirate too much money the de-
partments invariable find reason
to spend it."
The hearings also developed
the fact that. while the new
budget generally has been re-
ferred to as calling for expendi-
lures Of S7l.8 billion. this does
not include the road-buildine
program. which is now handled
as a separate fund. Including
highways. Mr.. Humphrey agreed,
the total would be S73.5 billion.
AS he left the witness stand,
Chairman Cannon made this
terse comment:
Your testimony has been edu-
cational and interesting. but II
has been of no advantage to the
committee in reducing this
budget"

Seven dead and 70 hurt is the

! MOSCOW, Feb. PD.-Tht
Soviet government today accused
the Western powers of deliber.

delaying tactics within the
United Nations to avoid a solu-

Foreign Ministry Spokesman
iLeonid F. Ilyichev, who called
a news conference to announce
the official statement, said that
despite what he called Western
provocations the Soviet Union

towards solving the problem.
Soviet Proposal Cited
The official statement traced
the disarmament question back
to Russia's November II pro-
posals to the West. At that
time. the Kremlin asked the
West TO agree on a lengthy
program, including dissolution OF
military pacts. a ban on nuclear
tests and weapons, withdrawal
of all foreign troops. and even
aerial inspection along a strip
separating the Communist and
nom Communist areas Of Europe
With the Tass statement the
Soviet government made public
replies to these proposals from
President Eisenhower, former
British Prime Minister Eden
and French Premier Mollet. AL
