Patience Pays OFF

From all indications, the stage has
been set for early withdrawal of Israeli
troops from Egypt under conditions
which should be satisfactory to all con-
cerned.
Under the agreement, as it has been
unofficially outlined, Israel will pull back
all Of its forces, as it should have done
long ago. The Gulf of Aqaba will be
open to all shipping Technically, at
least, the GAIA Strip will remain under
Egypt's administrative control, but
United Nations force will be stationed
there to guard against any revival Of
commando raiding into Israel
This arrangement, if it stands up,
will serve multiple purpose It will
satisfy Egypt's legitimate demand that
Israeli troops be withdrawn behind the
1949 armiStice lines. Israel, while not
getting the guarantees it wanted, will
benefit from strong assurances that its
shipping rights and territorial integrity
will be respected. Finally, the U. N.
will be able to claim an appreciable
salvage of the principle that aggression

approving the fruits of conquest.
There still is no certainty that the
hopes which have been raised will finally
be fulfilled. Israel may balk at the last
minute. Egypt has not been heard from
officially. and Colonel Nasser may be
hard to deal with. AS of this moment,
however, the impasse seems to have been
broken, and If this proves to be the case,
it will signify a most hopeful turn for
the better in the Middle East. It will also
stand as tribute to the good judgment
of Israel and Egypt, to U. N. Secretary
Dag Hammarskjold's patient but firm
insistence, despite accusations of excess
sive "legalism," that Egypt's rights must
be respected, and to the answering de-
termination of President Eisenhower and
Secretary Dulles to support the U. N. in
what has been an hour of great trial.

Firm Hand in Tokyo

The relative stability In japanese
political affairs has been re-emphasized
in the change of Premiers within recent
days. Forced by Ill health to resign after
only two months in office, Tanzan Ishi-
bashi has been succeeded by one of the
strong figures in his cabinet-Foreign
Minister Nobusuke Kishi An effort by
the opposition Socialist Party to force
new general election was defeated when
both houses OF the parliament voted by
more than a two-to-one majority in
favor Of Mr.. Kishi and his LIBERAL
Democratic Party holding control of the
government. Mr.. Kishi promptly an
nounced that he would retain the Foreign
Affairs portfolio and would not replace
any of his cabinet colleagues. In addition,
he has strengthened his own party posi-
ton by adding to his cabinet the leader
OF rival faction among the LIBERAL
Democrats.
This orderly shifting Of leadership
holds promise for Japan on both internal
and external fronts. Pending before the
parliament are new budget and several

McCurthyism Wones

1t is safe to assume that Mccarthy
ism, while not dead, has definitely faded
away.
For few hours this week the Wis
consin Senator was back in the limelight.
He sought and secured permission to
question Supreme Court Justice Brennan
before the Senate Judiciary Committee,
and it soon became evident that Senator
Mccarthy, the man, has not changed.
But somehow the old soft on commu-
nism" theme just didn't seem to take.
Senator Mccarthy said that Justice
Brennan had adopted the gobbledygook
that the Communist Party uses" Justice
Brennan had alluded in speech to the
terror of communism and Senator Nc
Carthy asked: Were you approving the
terror or condemning it?" The Senator
wanted to know whether Supreme
Court justice can hide behind his robes
to conduct kind of guerrilla warfare
against investigating committees" And
so on, and so on.
1t was the same old stuff-pretty
potent three years ago. But this week
no one seemed to be paying attention.
Justice Brennan said he approved Of con-
gressional investigation and exposure of
communism. He also said he believed
international communism is a conspiracy
against the United States. And that was
about it. The committee heard two more
minor witnesses, concluded its hearing
and prepared to report the Brennan
nomination favorably to the Senate.
Even Senator Mccarthy knew that
he had fired dud. He could go on in
definitely he said, but what was the use
"the left-wing Democrats and the modern
Republicans will roll over dead and APP
prove this nomination"
No, the McCarthyism of three years
ago is not dead. But in the year 1857 1t
Is strictly ho-hum stuff.

KremIin-Tito Split

Foreign Minister Popovic of Yugo-
slavia has now confirmed what has been
indicated for some weeks past-namely.
that new and potentially grave es-
arrangement exists between his country
and the Soviet Union This is some
thing that has been growing since last
October, when Poland's Communist ma
tionalistS" or "TitoiSts" demanded and
won measure of independence from
Moscow and when the freedom Seeking
people of Hungary rebelled against the
Kremlin's tyranny in Budapest.
When these two events occurred.
President Tito and his YugoSlav regime
did not hesitate to hail the gains scored
by Polish Red "nationalism" and to de-
plore as fatal mistake" the savage
Soviet repression of the Hungarian up
rising. Whereupon, speaking through
propaganda organs like Pravda, the men
of the Kremlin began to attack Tito with
mounting vigor and viciousness. And
simultaneously, acting on orders, their
satellite stooges unleashed barrages of
charges accusing him of such things as
slandering the USSR, sabotaging inter-
national communism, seeking to over
throw Albania's puppet dictatorship, and
otherwise serving the aggressive" ends
of Western imperialism"
All this outpouring of venom has in
creased rather than diminished in recent
days, and SO Mr.. Popovic, whose views
undoubtedly are shared by Marshal Tito,
has UNDERSTANDABLE concluded that the
Soviet Union-as in l948-has under
taken another systematic campaign to
isolate" and "diScredit" Yugoslavia. This
does not mean, necessarily, that the cam
paisn will be as unremitting and violent
as the one waged by Stain against Bel
grades "heretical" Communists, but 1t
can be tough enough. For example, now
that they have shifted back to a policy
Of nastiness, Russia's leaders have re-
neged on their promise to help the Yugo-
slavs with sorely needed credits of about
$3.50 million.
This act Of bad faith speaks for itself
as measure Of what has happened since
the spring Of 1855. At that time, 1t will
be remembered. Nikita Khrushchev and
Premier Bulganin went on an extraordi-
nary reconciliation" mission to Belgrade
to beg Marshal Tito's forgiveness for past
Soviet policy toward him and to acknowl-
edge his right to be his own master. But
now, having dared to keep his country
independent, and having espoused similar
independence for the lands still held cap
tive by the Kremlin, the Yugoslav leader
is once again anathema to Moscow and
the target of political and economic at
tack. The situation is one in which he
certainly deserves the continuing SYM
pathy and support of the free West.

THE POLITICAL MILL
House Makes Start at BUDGET c uttinq
BY GOULD LINCOLN

constituent or group of con-
stituents, just as every dollar
Of tax reduction pleases these
constituents
This year, however, a great
volume of protests against the
big Eisenhower budget has
been flowing into Washington
and the Offices Of Senators and
Representatives. The tune may
change IL and when projects
backed by big blocs of citizens
pressure groups-are slashed
by House and Senate Appro-
priations Committees, and by
the houses themselves.
House Trims Three Bills
The House, in which the
appropriation bills all origi-
nate, has tackled three such
measures already. They are
an urgent def1ciencyebill, the
. Treasury and Post Office bill
and the Interior Department
bill. 1t is Of interest to note
that on all three measures the
House committee and the
House itself used a pruning
knife-to a greater extent than
usual, though not as savagely
as demanded by some. The de-
f1ciency bill--a little item Of
$685., 090, 000-as it passed the
House was $46,997 500 below
the budget estimates. The
Treasury and Post Office bill
was cut $80,364,150 below the
budget estimates - but it
totalled $3.8S4.9 27 900, which
is $250,652,150 more than the
appropriations for the present
fiscal year.
The Interior Department bill
carries $454, 1895, 700 as passed,
which is $3,737.300 less than
the appropriations for this
fiscal year. 1t is also 500, 794,-
900 less than the budget esti-
mate for next year.
So the House has made a
real start at budget cutting-a
total Of $I86 million off these
three appropriation bills.
These. by the way. are not the
big bills, aid the Treasury
and Post Office and Interior
bills are rarely cut. The record
is not bad from the economy
standpoint. 'Fhe Senate has
handled only one of the three
measures-the deficiency bill.
1t restored an item of $50 mill
lion for the purchase Of stra-
tegic minerals for stocxpiling
for national defense which the
House struck out, despite tcsti-
mony the Government already
has all these minerals needed
Tor a long time.
Accompanying the public
demand for budget cutting and
money saving is another-re-
duction of the huge amounts
authorized and appropriated
for foreign aid, military and
economic. There will be hard
drive to cut billions of the
budget estimates for these pur-
poses. The uprising against
foreign aid spending is re-

Tax Confusion

Section 283 of the Maryland
Income Tax law is very APP
propriately entitled "Imposi-
ton of Tax" and the essential
part of subsection (a), relat-
ing TO the rates of tax, is
worded as follows:
.. Such tax shall be at
the rate Of five per cent (5cc)
on the amount OF the taxable
ret income up to but not ex-
ceeding Tie amount Of the in
vestment income. and at the
rate OF two per cent (2@o on
the balance, If any. Of the tax
able net income.
What does this really mean.
and what are the results?
The literal Interpretation OF
1t means that the misnomered

into a graduated tax law OF the
