The 40-member policy group, head
ed by Chicago industrialist Charles
H. Percy, has been hammering out a
comprehensive program widely re-
garded as sort of preliminary plat
form for the Republican party in the
1860 campaign.
Here is what the committee wants
the party and the country to support:
Personal income tax. Make a mod
est start in cutting rates in all brack-
cts, high and low. Bring the top rates
now as high as 81 per cent-down
to more equitable leveI'. Reduce
the capital gains tax-now a maxi
mum of 25 per cent-on gains from
genuine venture investment. But
deny capital gains treatment to prof
its that "do not merit it".
Withhold income taxes from cor
poration-bond interest and dividends,
if study Indicates its practicability".
Excise taxes. Scrap today's chap
hazard" excises and consider, instead,
a lower broadly based" tax cat the
manufacturers level'.
Corporate-income tax. Reduce the
overall rate-now So per cent. Give
more favorable treatment" to cor

Two specific proposals: Liberalize

vrite-offs in the year of an invest

will provide fairer tax system. in

guide pointed out TO her this
thing and that of historical in
ferest. She finally realized that
this great place was actually
a church. So being a jealous
Christian she poked the guide
with her umbrella and said,
well, young man, this is all
very we'll and good, but fell me
have any souls been saved
around here lateIy?" I'm sure
such a question would be very
embarrassing in many chUr-
ehes. OIL sure, they have had
scores "ioin" the church, but
church membership and saliva
zion are entirely different mat
ters. One can DIN a church
these days even IL he were an
atheist or the worst of heretics.
He can continue his gambling,
drinking, and life of sin; and
there will always be some
church more interested in
members than the salvation of
the lost, who will take him in.
Tell me, what is the main pUr-
pose Of your church? Is it TO
send forth the message of SAL
walton? Is it TO provide a place
for religious recreation so
Christians can play" togeth-
er, or is If Just a gathering Of

U. S. A.-Although l see in Rus
sian Premier Khrushchev the man
who ordered the murder or exile
of tens or thousands of human
beings-an arrogant, unrepentant
tyrant-I welcome his visit. To
correct his mistaken ideas about
this country is vital to the cause
of world peace. Let KhruShchev
come and see everything-the
strength of our industrial arm, our
military might, our productive
lands, our transportation, our
stores, our highways, the comfort
and excellence of our homes, the
prosperity of our working people.
More important, let him discover
that an unconquerable strength
lies in the determination in our
hearts to remain free men. Let
him begin to realize what is really
important to us-the sentiments,
the emotions, the ethics, the honor,
the faith we have in ourselves, in
our fundamental principles, and
our faith in God-thoSe inner
things from which we draw our
real strength. Fully comprehended,
these attributes of our people
would make any tyrant tremble.

There seems little chance for new
farm bill. The outlook is dubious
for the Presidents gasoline tax
increase to pay for the highway
program. There is strong support
in Congress for the floating of
billion dollars worth of highway
bonds. Congress and the White
House remain in basic disagree
ment over how to raise new money
for the nearly exhausted highway
trust fund.

Mr.. Nixons Visit In Russia-A
difficult job we'll done, is the con-
census of opinion. The Vice Presi-
dent had to be-successively-blunt,
bold, wary, tactical, thoughtful,
kindly. The thing that impressed
me most about Mr.. Nixon's visit
was Russian public's reaction to him.
In Moscow, his first appearance
brought a cool response. In Len
ingrad, the crowds had warmed up.
In Siberia, the Vice President and
Mrs Nixon were almost over
whelmed by throngs of cheering
Russians who lined the streets and
Swarmed around their car every
time it stopped. With equal grace,
Mr.. Nixon answered eager, sim
cere questions about America and
angry, bullying taunts from pro-
fessional hecklers.
The welcome Mr.. Nixon got on
his side trip into Poland was a
symbol of Poland's Westward
leaning. A man breaking through
police lines at Warsaw gave Mr..
Nixon a hug. Cheering crowds
burst into the Polish equivalent of
For He's a jolly Good Fellow
The Nixon car was swamped with
flowers, flowers brought by the
people themselves.
The newsmen who accompanied
the Vice President we're impressed
with the contrast between life in
Russia and life in America People
there live about as Americans
lived a hundred years ago. Roads
outside the cities are mud and dust.
Log cabins are the rule in rural
areas. There is little choice in food.
Ordinary household tools are few.
Maybe our man-made satellites in
orbit are not as large as the Rus
sians'-maybe they're ahead of us
with their rocketS-but we in
America have everything else that
the Russians will still be strug-
Cling to get hundred years from
now, including the right to have
say in how they are ruled.

under the King of Luang Pra-
bang.
Fearing the French after the
war would resume their con-
troll, Prince Petsarath and the
Free Lao movement fought for
independence. Their forces were
broken up by May 1916, and
they fled to form a government
in-exile in Bangkok, Thailand.
Prince Petsarath returned to
Laos in 1947, served again as
viceroy for two months, and
then retired from public life.
France finally recognized La
otian autonomy in 1916 and the
