Commissioners TO instruct the

The suggested policy Is d.

by default.

Tax Cut Talk
In Congress

Last year, a presidential election
year. many Democrats in Congress
were itching to come up with
vote-getting carrot in the form of
a tax reduction bearing a Demo-
cratic label.
But it was risky business. Con-
Germ over imitation was running
high. and move by either party
to cut taxes might have backfired
If it had added fuel to the infla-
tionary spiral. Despite many signs
that a tax cut drive might ma
teralize before the election, the 84th
Congress closed shop in midsum-
mer with no change in the level
Of individual tax rates.
This year there has been a grow
ing feeling among Democrats that
President Eisenhower, a budget
surplus assured. would recommend
tax cut next year--a congressional
election year. 1t may have been
that feeling that caused House
Speaker Sam Rayburn to step for
ward last week with an announce
ment that a Democratic decision
would be made in about two weeks
as to whether budget cuts would
be sufficient to justify a tax-relief
measure.
With that announcement the
Democratic 1857 tax-cut drive got
under way Party strategists are
thinking mostly about reductions
to take effect next January /. This
would reduce Federal revenues only
during the last half of the current
fiscal year. Also, there is feeling
that even II this years move should
fail. any successful taX-reduction
move in 1858, which probably could
be retroactive to January !, could
successfully be identified in the
public mind as Democratic. even
though 1t might have administra-
ton backing.
Mr.. Rayburn is known to still
favor $40 tax credit plan--the
scheme that failed In 1855. Other

THE WORLD SCENE
Strained Relations

Since the debacle of the invasion
of Egypt last autumn, a major
project Of our State Department
has been the restoration of cordial
and constructive relations with
Britain and the nations of the Brit
ish Commonwealth. At last months
Bermuda conference between Pres
ident Eisenhower and British Prime
Minister Macmillan a start appar-
entity was made on this project. But
last week repercussions of Ca
madam diplomats tragic suicide in
Cairo and the appointment Of
new American Ambassador to the
Irish Republic indicated a bigger
repair job than ever was needed to
restore harmony in the English
speaking world.
Canada. whose staunch friend
ship with the United States has
provided a copybook example Of in
ternational amity for many years,
was still bitterly charging that po-
litical foul play by subcommittee
of the United States Senate was
responsible for the fatal plunge
from a Cairo rooftop of Canadian
Ambassador to Egypt E. Herbert
Norman on the morning of April 4.
And England. where repercus-
sions of the Norman case were also
loud, was further aroused by the
appointment of Scott Mcleod, once
widely considered to be protege Of
Senator Mccarthy, to be United
States Ambassador to Ireland.

Middle East:
Eyes on Jordan

The Middle East maintained its
status last week as the worlds
most threatening trouble spot. Ne
gotiations between United States
Ambassador Raymond Hare and
Mahmoud Fawzi. Egyptian Foreign
Minister, continued in Cairo in an
effort to work out an accord on the
Suez Canal. But the biggest head
lines OF the week went to the swirl
ing situation in Jordan.
In a move TO head of growing
pro-Soviet and Egyptian in
fiuences in the shaky Hashemite
Kingdom, young King Hussein
demanded and got the resignation
OF the cabinet headed by Premier
Suleiman Nabulsi. In addition. the
monarch made significant shifts in
the army command. replacing pro-
Egyptian Mai. Gen Bahjat Tab
barah as chief Of public security
with his own chief military aide,
Gen. Mohammed Maatya.
But getting rid of the Nabulsi
cabinet proved easier than finding
another to replace it. Three poll
ticians tried in turn to form a
government acceptable to the King
and all failed. Meanwhile, street
crowds demonstrated in Amman,
shouting anti-American slogans and
protesting the Eisenhower doctrine

to the perennial problem of Post
ONCE Department finances. One
holds that the postal service is just
another service that a Government
properly makes available for its
citizens. and that. while it would
be quite nice If it could operate in
the black, it's not at all necessary.
The other view, that of many Re-
publicans including the Eisenhower
administration, is that the Post
Office should pay its own way.
Those of this persuasion have for
years been attempting to increase
postal rates, but with little success.
The cost Of sending letter first
class has been 3 cents since 1882,
though the cost of handling the
letter has more than doubled in
that time. Second-class rates have
risen only 3 per cent since 1882
and third-class rates only 38 per
cent.
Mr.. Eisenhower has repeatedly
asked for an increase in rates. He
has answered some of the recent
torrid criticism of his big budget
with the argument that a postal
rate increase would help reduce
the cost of Government. (The
current postal deficit of about $3.50
million is about seven-tenths of /
per cent of his 1858 budget)
The department has been accused
OF following contradictory policies,
many of them wasteful It's critics
have ridiculed an automatic stamp
machine put in use that responds
TO each purchase with a polite
thank you" The department also
has asked Congress for permission
TO junk the Postal Savings System
that serves 2.5 million depositors,
despite the fact that this is one of
the few operations that consistently
operates IN the black. Ut showed

At the same time, there has been
growing public complaint over the
quality OF postal service (see story
by David Koonce on this page.
The administration $462 million

gresS would raise first class letters

be raised from 8 to 10 cents on the

Complications Possible

But tax-cutting based on sharp
trimming of the executive budget
could present some fiscal complica-
ions next year. Much of the
budget reduction may be only pa
per cuts. If the Administrations
estimate of fiscal needs are more
correct than those of the congress
sional economizers. funds removed
now may have to be restored next
spring. Should this develop after
tax relief has been passed, Congress
would be forced to decide on one of
TWO unhappy courses: A return to
the unbalanced budget or cancella-
ton of the tax reduction.
The present economy drive seems
to have plenty of vitality: it is as
bipartisan as many have wished our
foreign policy could be. The size
OF Mr.. Eisenhowers budget has led
10 division within his own party
that has resulted in the kind of
Republican criticism of the Presi-
dent that few Democrats would
nave dared to indulge in two years
ago.
Representative Bruce Alger of
Texas, VINO has been known as an
Eisenhower Republican" has been
quoted as saying: IF the Eisenhow-
err administration docs not return
to conservative principles I
must and shall go it alone"
Republican Senator Barry Gold
water of Arizona only last Monday
delivered on the floor of the Senate
a lengthy critique of what he called
fiscal irresponsibility in this Re-

REVIEW OF THE WEEK
The Postal Shutdown

In January. 1856, when President
Eisenhower sent his budget re-
quests to Congress for this fiscal
year. he asked that an even So
billion be appropriated for the Post
Office Department. 1t emerged from
Congress 99.5 per cent intact-only
$l5.6 million had been eliminated.
Five million dollars was cut from
the funds requested for postal OPP
erations--the handling of the mail
but the amount left was still STA
million over the cost of operations
the previous year.
AS early as last July, the first
month in the current fiscal year,
Postmaster General Arthur Sum-
merfield foresaw the likelihood of
a shortage of funds this spring and
informed Budget Director Percival
Brundage of his fears. Mr.. Brun-
dage has testified before a House
Appropriation subcommittee that
he told the Post Office Department
that 1t would have to find the funds
elsewhere. that he wouldn't approve
any supplemental funds. Mr.. Sum-
merfield kept bringing his problem
back to Mr.. Brundage. but without
success. II Just said no. no, no."
Mr. Brundage told the subcom-
mittee.
The budget director testified that
he was laboring under the mistaken
belief that Mr. Summerfleld could
meet his needs with an expected
$40 million increase in postal reve-
nues He said he hadn't known that
this $40 million went directly to the
Treasury. where only an appropria-
tons act could pry it loose for
use by Mr.. Summerfleld.
Before Mr. Brundage learned diff
ferently. 1857 was several weeks
old. On March IL. he reluctantly"
approved Mr.. Summerfield's plea for
an additional SAT million to tide
him over until July /.
In the meantime. Mr.. Summer
field had been spending in the Sec
ond fiscal quarter (October-Decem-
ber) money reserved for the third
quarter. Authorization to do this
had come from the Budget Bureau.
an authorization which Controller
General Joseph Campbell yesterday
branded as illegal.
