Clothes q la Marx

An enterpriSing haberdaSher in New
York City has bought a Soviet-made
mans suit at GUM, MoScow's biggest
store. The suit, which has been on dis
play in Manhattan, is a Single-breasted
gray-flarinel creation which young &C
count executive on Madison Avenue ap-
parently would not like to be caught
dead in. The cloth itself, according to
reliable reports, is sturdy, but coarse
and Scratchy. AS for the style of the
thing Gncluding buttons on the pants
instead of zipper), it appears to be
rather antique by Western standards.
The most interesting feature of this
suit, however, is the price the average
Russian is being asked to pay for it. The
GUM sales tag says any male in Moscow
can buy it for ,410 rubles-the equiva-
lent Of $352.50 at the official 4-to-1 rate
of exchange with the dollar, or Sal at
the tourist rate, which is 10 to /. This has
dabbergaSted the New York haberdasher.
In his opinion, he'd be very lucky if he
could sell such garment to an Ameri-
can for as much as $50. Thus, for what
it may be worth in our cold war struggle
with the Russians, the Soviet MarxiSt
paradise is highly expensive not only in
terms of human liberty, but also in terms
of what it costs fellow to dress in

President Eisenhower.
Certainly the committee should
have become convinced by now that the
alternatives to tax hike, such as
bond issue or tapping the general fund
of the Treasury, are unsatisfactory sub
stituteS for the sensible, albeit politically
unpopular, tax plan. The alternatives
have been explored from top to bottom
and from all angles and the result al
ways has been the samoa return to
consideration of gasoline tax proposals.
The bond issue plan studied by the COM
nittee would have required drastic cur

the Treasury to revive the interstate

Steel Profits

The SteelworkerS have been
accused of wanting more

it comes from. That is prob
ably not true. What may be
true is that they do not
realize that conditions have
changed and that a COM
pany like U. S. Steel, for
instance, is no longer owned
by a few millionaires but, at
the last count, by 311,758
shareholders who average
less than 200 shares each, on

they have been getting a top

to the profits? Is too much
being turned back and used
for expansion? If so-and ii
is not, even after four years,

can they be called profits?

steelworkers should tell the
whole story, the sharehold-
