THAT TEMPORARY" GAS TAX
sise INCREASE sfa8

Since October 1, when the increased fed
eral gasoline tax went into effect, total gas
taxes have just about doubled the price the
motorist pays for his fuel. In other words,
combined state and federal gas taxes come to
approximately so per cent of gasolines cost
to the consumer.
The higher federal tax is called tempor-
ary. The law provides that it will expire in
1861. But our experience with Temporary"
tax laws of this kind has been a sorry one.
Temporary periods have been extended
again and again. To all intents and purposes
they have become permanent
Now the president of one of our oil COM
panles makes an important proposal. He calls
upon the petroleum industry to start
right now-to prepare for the hard fight we
will inevitably face in 1861, when the tenn
porary' tax is due to expire" He adds: "We
owe 1t to our customers to keep the tempor-
ary tax temporary"
This proposal will surely have the whole
hearted support of all gasoline-using citizens,
which means practically all of u.s. The gas
tax, remember, is sales tax, which is paid
entirely by the consumer. The oil companies
simply act as tax collectors for the states and
federal government. And even though gaso-
line is an absolute necessity, it is now taxed
much more heavily than most of the absolute
luxuries = including mink coats and dia-
monds

BabsOn Apologies
Prior to this trip, / had assumed
from my reading that the Scandin-
avian countries followed a system
of government and an economic
way of life halfway between Com
munism and Capitalism. After three
weeks of travel through Scandina-
via, have come to the conclusion
that this representation is mis-
leading.
These three Scandinavian coun-
tries can be called "Welfare States"
owing to the fact that great con-
sideration is given to free hospital
and dental service, care of young
mothers and their babies, and old
age pensions. These things are in
addition to government operation
of the railways, bus companies, tel
ephones, municipal apartments,
ETC., and in addition to the great
cooperative stores. But private
ownership is encouraged and these
countries are democratic in their
conduct of all political elections.
Nothing, here resembles Commun-
ism in any way.

Eliminating Economic Causes
of War
Following World War l a group
of prominent Philadelphia business
men under the leadership of May
or Vandergraph and of George Hor-
ace Lorimer, famous editor of the
Saturday Evening Post-formed a
society which interested me great
ly. This society believed that war
could be eliminated henceforth only
by gradually eliminating tariffs and
giving equal economic opportunities
to all nations. Unfortunately, World
War II broke up this society.
The Society is now being revived,
fand / am pleased to say that Copen-
hagen is being considered as its
World Center. One reason for my
being over here is to help with the
rebirth of this Society. And l am
interested in knowing how Ger
many, Poland, and Russia feel
about the idea of low tariffs being
considered as a part of any plan of
general disarmament. Certainly the
United States cannot safely reduce
it's tariff now without assurance of
some satisfactory world wage sta
bilization. Disarmament is a very
complicated problem, and Mr.. X.
knows it to be so.

FACTS AND A QUESTION

Tax Foundation reports that more major
tax changes, Ill in number, have been made
by the states which held legislative sessions
this year than in any year in postwar history.
Needless to say, the great majority of the
hanges-87-involved tax increases. An ad-
ditional IL involved the imposition of new
taxes. There were by way of contrast, just
five tax reductions and just one appeal of a
tax
The tax increases ran a considerable
gamut-corporate and personal income, gen.
eral sales, gasoline, tobacco and liquor. Look
ing at the matter money-wise, the Founda-
tion says that governors in 81 states pro-
posed tax increases totaling almost SIS bill
ion in their messages to 1859 legislatures.
Well, so much for the facts. The question
now is-what are the American people, who
ultimately have the last word, going to do
about it?

A TOWER OF HOPE

On the banks of the East River in New
York city stands an edifice known to millions
of people in every part of the globe, the shin
ing glass building which houses the Secretar-
lat of the United Nations. The imposing 3S-
story structure is both landmark and
monument; it represents mankind's deter1n-
ination to survive.
A mile or so to the north, another build
ing has been completed. Only IL stories high,
it does not dominate the skyline as the UN
Building does. But it, too, is dedicated to sur
vival; the work that is being done within it's
walls may be free humanity from the blight
of group of related diseases whose common
feature is kind of creeping paralysis, slow
but progressive destruction of muscle tissues
whose end result is death.
The Institute for Muscle Disease is pro-
ject financed by Musular Dystrophy Associa-
tions of America, Inc. The $5,000,000 labora-
tory complex is being built with funds con-
tributed by the public to the fight against
muscular dystrophy, tragically disabling
ailment whose chief victims are young child
rem. 1t has been estimated that one out of
every 800 Americans suffer from muscular
dystrophy and that its incidence is world
wide.
But the significance of the Institution is
not limited to those afflicted with MD. This
research center, the first of its kind in the

who suffer from related neuromusclar dis
eases. 1t provides the facilities, and the train
ed personnel, for an all-out scientific attack
on all these little understood disorders which
seem to be caused by some defect in metabo-
lism, some obscure hitch in the chemistry of
the body. Research into such disorders is,
necessarily, of no basic nature that it may
also lead to the solution of other, apparently
unrelated, conditions like heart disease and
arteriosclerosis.
The Institute for Muscle Disease is re-
Election of the boldly imaginative research
program sponsored by Muscular Dystrophy
Associations of America. 1t is tribute to the
people of America who have supported that
program. But, if the purposes to which it is
dedicated are to come to frlIition, that sup
port must be continued. When the MDA vol
unteer comes to your door this month, be
f, generous with your contribution Remember
that every dollar you give will help to main-
tain the tower of hope.

IKE AND THE LINKS

Judging from the number of
books being published in Europe
which lambast President Eisen-
hover for his preoccupation with
golf, one might be justified in con-
cluding that Mr.. Eisenhower will
go down as the golfingest Chief Ex-
ecutive in U. S. history.
The latest blast comes from
Field Marshal Viscount Alanbrooke,
who was Chairman of the British
Chiefs of Staff in World War IL.
He puts it rather bluntly. He says
General Eisenhower played golf
when he should have been run
ming the war, and that he did not
know how to run the office in
France, since he had never had
command of any large battle force
in his career prior to that time.
In fact, the Alanbrooke volume
(Which is the second in his men,
oirs thus far) says that things got
so bad that a delegation went to
Eisenhower and tried to tell him
that he must get down to business
and run the war.
Field Marshal Montgomery has
also criticized Eisenhower, and
while few American generals have
written books about it, many of
them have been critical of Ike's
comparatively light treatment of
his responsibilities from time to
time. All, however, have agreed
that President Eisenhower is and
has been a master politician, who
could lead a team" and keep the
individual members relatively hap
py.
AS matter of fact, the President s
critics today, speaking on the lag
and failures We have encountered
in our space and rockets program,
claim that Mr.. Eisenhower has nev-
er coordinated this country's mis-
siles-rocket effort, and has never
gotten down to it and really run
crash program.
These are serious charges, and
Mr.. Eisenhower, in spite Of his sue
cess as politician, should be well
aware that history will Judge him
on these charges one way or the
other. His last chance to prove
them mostly exaggerated is to see
to it that this country's space-mis-
siles program gets cracking.
We do not resent the criticism OF
British military men, for they are
entitled to their opinion and it is
good to have the air cleared. II
they are right, the people of both
countries are entitled to know it
If they are wrong, the people are
entitled to know this. For this rea-
son, we believe Mr.. Eisenhower
will one day wish to clarity his po-
sition, or at least answer Viscount

N~a%e
WAS LENIN RIGHT?

Reports from Washington have lately
given the country an indication of how SER
iously the Administration views the fiscal
problem. That problem, it is clear, is sec
ond in the Presidents mind only to the prob
lem of avoiding third world war.
And the President and his advisors are
not alone in this All manner of qualified
people, in and out of the government, are
convinced that unless government spending
can be curbed, the budget balanced, and in
fiation checked, we may be heading for a
disaster that could destroy us as nation,
and leave the free world, which depends so
largely on American strength for survival,
wide open to communism. The Kremlin
would win the ultimate victory without fir
ing shot.
This, in fact, is what Lenin, architect
of Soviet communism, expected. Long ago,
he wrote that capitalism would destroy it
self from within. What government does
to the peoples money and savings will de-
termine whether he was right or wrong.

IKE, BRAUN, NAVY
AND SURVIVAL

President Eisenhower has trans
ferred the Army's biggest rocket
project, and the Werner Won Braun
rocket team, from the Army to the
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration. The President and
his advisers have said the new roc
ket engine being developed by the
Won Braun team is not of great
military significance.
The National Aeronautics and
Space Administration is another
new agency, the latest in. a series
of maneuverings designed to get
the U. S. rocket and missiles pro-
gram out of the bog. We hope it
functions effectively and fast and
that the President has done the
right thing.
But it is as yet an untested
agency and the Won Braun team is
recognized as having achieved re-
suits.
Interestingly, Won Braun had
sharply criticized the Administra-
tion's handling of the Army role
in rockets and missiles the day be-
fore the President acted. He claim
ed that the resignation of General
John Medaris, which had been an
nounced the day before, could have
been delayed had the Administra-
tion given the Army team a chal-
lenging space role.
Meanwhile, Defense Secretary
Neil McElroy says that the Won
Braun team is national asset and
that it will be used in the new
agency. And Medaris says his res
ignation is not naturally a protest.
But both Medaris and Won Braun
agree that there has been too much
organizing, reorganizing and argu-
ing and that what is now needed is
a crash-program and work, not
talk. Both say such a crash pro-
gram is not underway.
The survival of the United States
is the final critical issue at stake
in this momentous situation. Pres
ident Eisenhower and his defense
and space officials-of which there
are so many it is hard to assess re-
sponsibility-are gambling when a
crash-program for development
and control of outer space is not
pushed to the very limit with all
possible speed.

Alanbrooke to some extent.
Mr. Eisenhower's book, Crusade
in Europe" while great success,
did not really tell much of the
story of the war or of Eisenhow-
er's direction of it. 1t was a sort
of platitudinOus book, giving little
real insight into decisions, person
alities or complicated maneuver-
ings.
NEW YORK GETS
WORLD FAIR
If President Eisenhower's recon-
mendation is translated into real
ity, New York will be the site for
the 1864 Worlds Fair. While we
favored Washington, or any site
even closer to the center of the
United States, the Presidents COM
mittee, and the President himself,
seem to think that New York made
the best case.
From all the reports, it appears
that the New York delegation did
make the best case in pushing its
argument Governor Rockefeller
led large delegation to Washing
ton and an impressive case was
made.
From one standpoint, the holding
of a Worlds Fair in the United
States will prove less effective than
such a Fair would be in Europe.
On the other hand, there has to be
a sponsor, and since the Worlds
Fair in Brussels in 1858, no Euro
pean country has come forward
with the urge or the funds to stage
its own Worlds Fair.
Therefore, it cannot be argued
that the New York Fair will knock
out plans for a Fair in Western
Europe, or elsewhere. The regret
table thing is the fact that compar-
atively few Europeans will be able
to travel to New York to see the
Fair.
And, very, very few Russians will
be able to come to the United
/ States, for few of them travel by
air, and the cost of plane ticket
from Russia to the United States is
far too high for the average Rus
sian to be able to afford.
If the Fair had been held in Ger
many, for example, or in France, a
| number of Russians would have
seen it. Also, a number of people
/ from other communist countries
would have visited it, and the U.
/ s. pavilion and the exhibitions and
propaganda about democracy and
/ the free enterprise system would
have reached millions of people
living under various systems of
government.
We in the United States will en-
10Y the 1864 Fair. and more Ameri-
cans will see it than would see a

MORE REVENUE FROM
LOWER TAXES

Secretary of Commerce Mueller has come
out in favor of tax reform which will remove
road blocks to business growth and establish
the right business climate
The matter arose when a newspaperTnan
asked: 'If tax cut were to come, where do
you think it Should Gomez" The Secretary
answered: " would rather use the words, tax
reform because think we have lot of sit
uations in our tax structure that inhibit bus
mess growth and believe that, as Secretary
of Commerce, my responsibility is to make
every effort to see that we establish the right
business climate so that investors and entire
preneurs, if you wish to call them such, are
encouraged
He then cited the fact that in 1854 1--WE
had a substantial tax cut and, as result of
that tax cut, business was stimulated to the
extent that within a very short period, we
were actually taking in more revenue at the
lower rates than we were previously"
This emphasizes an economic truth that
is too little understood. A heavy percentage
tax, whether on business or the individual,
does not necessarily result in maximum rev.
enue to government. A more moderate tax,
which stimulates investment, expansion and
the creation of new productive wealth, will in
the long run bring greater revenue-and at
the same time lead to more and better jobs
and higher living standards for all.
&%@NG
PEOPLE AND FAULTS
One of the great lessons to be learned in
life is that all of us, no matter how great the
esteem in which some of us are held, have our
faults The perfect human being has not yet
been born, nor should anyone expect to en-
counter him.
The key to mental happiness - or one of
the important ones = is the realization that
we must overlook the faults of our friends,
and even of our enemies, and do our best to
appreciate the good qualities, and bring out
the best in our fellow man.
The realization that we also have our
faults, and that therefore we must make
amends = even at times when we think we
are not in error = is important to keep in
mind. The key here is to realize that we must
sometimes make amends, or make apologies,
or forgive others, when we think we have
done no wrong. Obviously, if we never made
made this confession except when we thought
we are wrong, we would view life from only
one side and, quite often, we would not make
amends when they were DUE
In this connection, it is often said, and it
is still true, that a smile can do more, during
the course of the average day, than anything
one can say, and can do much more than
some people realize. Many things can be said
if they are said with a smile = that other
wise would produce edged feelings, resent
ment or antagonism.

Looking at
WASHINGTON

Americans travel to Europe in great
numbers in the summer, and many
of them would see a Worlds Fair
in Europe. The reverse is not true.
Comparatively few Europeans come
to this country, and therefore the
1864 Worlds Fair will be enjoyed
mainly by Americans, or at least
mainly by people from this hemis-
phere.
