Touring Choral Head
Sees Reds More Critical

whereas last summer there
would be a few individuals in
the crowd who would criticize
us, this. year there were WELL
organized groups - apparently
Of young Communists. They
seemed to consider 1t their duty
to discredit us.
"They booed one religious
song which begins with the
words, To Our Great Lord"
The Yale group sang on street
corners and at other informal
places. 1t gave ~ concerts In
80 days.
Mr.. Mickiewicz said the group
was discouraged against singing
in two Russian cities. Yalta and
Sochi. But, he added, when
the Russian police came up on
motorcycles and told u.s. we
couldn't sing there, some of
the people said aloud that they
were ashamed of the police
men.
This sort Of person. who
wasn't afraid to speak against
the police. seemed to grow in
numbers as our trip went on"

ported that the statement ac-
cuSed Mr.. Bergen of being

alton will continue paying their
regular premiums. Presently
employees pay premiums until
age IS and then do not have
to pay any more.
For all other Federal en-

they won't have to pay any

Also, the Government workers

There are those cynical OBJ

Tackled onto the bill to give
225 super-grade and other
high salaried jobs to the De-
Tense Department - and this,
too, will be approved-the life
insurance proviso is a compro-
mise acceptable to the admin

President Eisenhower is ex-
pected to sign the bill into law.
The Senate last month
amended the super-grade job
bill to change the present sys-
tenn whereby Government en-
ploye life insurance policy val
ues decline after age IS at a
rate Of 2 per cent month un-
til IS per cent Of the original
policy value is reached.
Higher Premium Suggested
The Senate proposed that the
rate Of policy value decline
after age IS be only per cent
a month until so per cent of
the original policy value was
reached. In return for this.
Government workers would
have had to pay premiums of
80 cents each payday per 81 900
worth Of insurance coverage in
stead Of the present ascent
rate.
But the Senate proposal was
not popular with the admins
tration nor with most Federal
employe leaders.
Employe leaders felt that
asking employees to pay % per
cent more in premiums for the
proposed liberalization was too
much.
And the administration felt
the same way.
Instead, Civil Service Com

Tax Jungle
Losses Cited

Businessmen's expense ac-

House committee yesterday as
a jungle in which the Govern
ment is losing income tax rev.
enues on at least SIS billion
each year.
William F. Hellmuth, jr.,
Oberlin College economist,
named the business expense
account as a major leak in
in the corporate income tax
structure.
Also, Joseph A. Pechman,
research economist for the pri-
vate Committee for Economic
Development, said individuals
are not reporting an estimated
$28.5 billion on their income
tax returns every year;
House Holding Hearings
Mr.. Pechman and Mr.. He'll
muth appeared before the
House Ways and Means Com
rnittee, holding hearings on
possible tax law revisions.
Mr.. Hellmuth also stated
that "overly generous" income
tax deductions for business ex-
penses, including individual ex-
pense accounts, are reducing
taxable corporate income by
about $40 billion a year.
He said exclusion from taxes,
such as tax-exempt interest,
and special treatment granted
co-operatives, life insurance
companies and similar institu-
tions. accounts for another
Sis billion in tax-exempt in
come.
Among other witnesses yes
terday, Prof. William Fellner
Of Yale University suggested a

approximately 40 per cent of
goods used by consumers.
NAM FavOrs Excise Levy
Prof. Fellner said this would
permit a is per cent reduction
in income tax rates and an in
crease of 500 in the present

ton.
A general excise tax similar
to a sales tax was advocated by
Ralph Robey, economic adviser
for the National Association
Of Manufacturers.
However, Prof. j. F. Due of

sales and excise taxes are crude
ways to raise money.
