'' RI BUSINESS
Treasury Seen Opposed
To Special Tax Cuts

The Treasury is working
closely with others in the Essen
hover administration studying
serious effects of heavy taxation
on small business. but it is hang
ing back on any tax relief legisla-
ton for special groups at this
time.
Addressing the annual meet
ing of the regional advisory
board for the Small Business Ad-
ministration at the Lafayette
Building today, Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury Russell
Train said any relief for special
groups now would delay achieve
ment of the Treasury's major OBJ
jective. a general reduction for
all segments of the economy.
A cabinet committee named by
Eisenhower to study problems of
small business made four major
tax proposals. he said. They in
cluded:
LA reduction from 80 to 20
per cent on the first $4,000 of
corporate income, which would
cost $500 million of revenue.
2. Extend liberalized deprecia-
ton provisions of the 1854 Inter-
nal Revenue Code to used equip
ment up to $4,000. The cost
would be roughly SIS million.
3. Give small business with ten
stockholders or less the right
to be taxed as a partnership.
4. Permit the payment of es-
tate taxes over a 10-year period
If most of the estates property
could be classed as small busi-
ness.
Since the present Congress
opened, between 400 and 500
tax bills have been submitted in
the House alone and most of
these call for reduction. said Mr..
Train.
Some of them are very meri-
torious. but all of them would
reduce Federal revenues and de-
lay the time when a general re-
duction would help every one, he
added.
In considering tax relief for
small business, it should be re-
membered that a very large part
OF small business is not corporate
and most of the tax relief plans
have been for corporations only.
he pointed out.
The Treasury's ultimate goal
is a general tax reduction, but
the margin of revenues over ex-.
penditures still is way too small
to permit reduction at this time,
Mr.. Train emphasized. Taxes
are completely unreasonable at
this time and we are just as
anxious as anyone to reduce
them" he said.

Some American newspapers

alien trademarks which
it acquired after World War II.
The law firm Of Arnold, Fortes

the Bayer Co.. declared in a
statement made public yesterday
that these stories are in COM

counsel, the Costa Rican court
ruled merely that the law per-

constitutional.
But the court has not decided
who owns the beneficial interest
in particular trademarks in this
case or who is entitled to use
them. they declared. The final
decision on the use in Costa

% year pay raise for postal work.
Iers. The committee then sched-
Iuled hearings starting Tuesday
on classified employe pay raise
legislation.
Those predicting a presidential
veto. assuming. Congress ap-
proves Federal pay raises this
year, give a number of reasons
for their view.
They say the proposed in
creases are too high Ia Senate
Civil Service subcommittee has
reported a $500 pay raise for
postal workers and an average
9.2 per cent classified employee
Ipay BOOST.
Also, they declare the fiat dol
lar raise in the House and Senate
unit bills for postal workers
would incur White House oppo-
sition. They declare the President
and Postmaster General Sum-
merfield feel strongly about dis
torting' the postal pay scale
alignment which was carefully
brought about several years ago
after many years Of effort.
Furthermore. they declare the
President strongly feels that
wage increases must be avoided
as much as possible nationally
and that enactment of Federal
pay increases would have a Ma
tion-wide inflationary trend.
On the side of the fence, some
members Of Congress feel that
President Eisenhower may sign
a pay bill if 1t also contains pro-
visions for raising postal rates.
But remembering the Presidents
double veto Of Federal pay raise
legislation several years ago,
they are making no predictions
as to what he might do this time.
That the President is very
anxious to get postal rate in
lcreases enacted into law this
year there is no doubt. He called
Chairman Murray Of the House
Civil Service Committee and
Representative Rees, Republic
can Of Kansas, to the White
House yesterday to discuss
postal legislation.
What they told him is not
known (both Of them are OPP
posed to Federal pay raises)
but the fact also remains that
little chance exists for postal
rate increases unless the ad-
