Eastern Trade

Many Eastern European coun-
tries-including the Soviet Union
have traded with Western Eu-
ropean countries for many i'm
portant products, primarily So
phisticated technical equipment.
Some leaders fear that as the
Markets internal tariffs disap-
pear, the outside tariff may make
trade with the Market impossible.
They fear also that the entry of
Great Britain and other European
countries into the Market may
Isolate the Soviet bloc from the
rest Of Europe. And the influ-
ence of the Market in Africa may
prevent the Soviet bloc from
Infiltrsting the area economically.
Already, 16 African countries are
associated with the Market.
POLITICAL: If the Market were
solely an economic body, the So
Wet Union might be able 10 stand
It's competition. But the Markets
goal is to be unified politically as
well as economically.
An integrated political commu-
nifty is many years away, but the

States, can bring to hear.

The FOREIGN SCENE THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
Soviet Bloc Turns
To Economic Woes Tax Moves as Economic Spur

The Soviet bloc held a sum-
NIT meeting in Moscow last
week, primarily to discuss press
ing economic problems.
In recent months, Soviet prop
agandists have been charging the
prosperous Common Market with
everything from exploitation of
the worker to laying the ground
work for another world war.
Premier Khrushchev has spoken
publicly about the Markets evils"
four times in the last two weeks.
To the Soviet leader, the Market
is a disguised form of colonialiSm,
an unnatural economic body and
an attempt to destroy the Soviet
Union.
The Soviet worldwide propa-
ganda journal, New Times" said
recently that the Market "fs di-
rected against peaceful co-exist-
ence, serves cold-war purposes.
and makes for more international
strain"
The Common Market, known Of
ficially as the European Economic
Community, has been in existence
since January /, 1858. But until
the recent outburst, the Soviet
bloc seemed unconcerned about
the six-nation group.

In Massachusetts

Meanwhile, on a less signifi-
cant, but nearly as newsworthy
front, the Democratic Party in
Massachusetts, was riven with
controversy.
Yesterday, the Democratic Party
convention in the Bay State Sc
lected Edward M. Kennedy,
youngest brother of the President,
to be its candidate for the United
States Senate in November. In do
ing so, it rejected Edward McCor-
mack, nephew of House Speaker
John Mccormack and currently
the States attorney general.
The fight was bitter one, with
Mr.. Mccormack charging whole
sale intervention and strong-arm
tactics by the national admins
tration. The defeated candidate,
who will now contest the decision
in a primary vote against the 30
year-old Kennedy. warned against
the building of a Kennedy dynas-
ty," asserting that it would hurt
the national party effort in 1864.
The President and his organiza-
ton are obviously quite willing to
run the risk.
In another race of more than
routine interest, former Navy Sec
rotary John B. Connally, jr., won
a close victory over Don Yarbor-
ough for the Democratic guberna-
torial nomination in Texas.
Mr. Connally. a conservative.
edged Mr.. Marlborough. an avowed
liberal and an about supporter
of President Kennedy's New From
tier, by fewer than 10000 votes
in more than million cast.

Priority List

Mr.. Kennedy conceded, indirect
ly, that he would not get all this
in the current session. He did
so when he said that, with sum-
mer coming on and Congress NOV
ing slowly, priority list Of key
measures probably will have to
be decided upon. Certain to be on
this list, if uncertain as to their
outcome, are the trade bill and
medical aid to the aged under
social security.
Meanwhile, the hopeful signs Of
economic activity, such as in
creased employment, higher auto
sales and housing starts, were &C
companied last week by two
gloomy ones.
First, the six Eastern railroads
warned that the recent 1912 cents
an-hour pay raise granted to Off
train employees under Federal
prodding will aggravate already
serious financial difficulties.
Five Of the six roads recorded
a total deficit Of $14.5 million in
the first quarter of this year. The
six estimated that the new wage
pact will cost them 1884 million
more year.
Second, steel industry sources,
according to the Wall Street Jour-
nal, reported last week that de-
clining production in the wake of
the recent labor accord has gen.
Grated widespread layoffs an d
short work weeks. More job cut
backs were predicted.

The Causes

The cause for the current at
tention is not hard to understand,
however. 1t stems from three
factors. They are:
/. ECONOMIC: For years. the
Soviet Union has been shouting to
the world about the economic
strength Of the Socialist system.
There is hardly a document circu-
lated that does not refer to the
superiority" of the Soviet Union
over the West. In the cold light
of statistics, however, the Common
Market, boosted by boomS in
France, West Germany and Italy,
has been outpacing the Soviet
Union. And in consumer goods,
there is no comparison.
The Soviet bloc's equivalent to
the Market, the Council for Mu-
tual Economic Assistance Come
COM, has been a disappointment
to Moscow and to the satellites
themselves ever since its founding
in 1949. The food situation is grave
In the Soviet Union and in other
satellite countries, and for years,
trade within the bloc has been
heavily weighted to Moscow's ad-
vantage.

There's Just One Missing ingredient"

dities If the President finds the
recipient country is not aiding
the Communist attempt to con-
quer the world. But there is to
be no development-loan aid.
Presumably the President feels
that he can stretch this reStric-
ton to allow the Government to
sell surplus foods to Yugoslavia
and Poland. He told his news
conference on Thursday that the
Senate's action was very help
full" and that he was glad to have
continued "flexibility" in dis
pensing aid.
If the Proxmire proposal had
been accepted by the administra-
ton, the LauSche amendment
might have been headed off and
an unnecessarily risky and embar-
RAISING situation averted. Neither
the Senate leadership, officials of
the Agency for International
Development (AID), nor the White
House appeared to have sensed the
attitude of the Senate early
enough. The White House de-
manded the rejection of both
amendments.
No U. S. official was saying
publicly whether there was any
connection with the action in the
Senate, but Walter L. Lingle, jr.,
deputy AID administrator in
charge of administration, resigned
on Friday. He came to the agency
only last April. He will take a job
with the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration.
The Senate's foreign aid bill
total of $4.67 billion is $216 million
less than the administration re-
quested. A companion measure will
be taken up in the House late
next week under present plans. No
Softening on aid to Communist
countries is to be expected. Later,
both Houses will have to vote
appropriations for foreign aid.

President Kennedy on Thurs
day said he would recommend
to Congress an across the
board cut in personal and cor
pOrate income taxes as a spur
to the economy. He urged pas
sage this year Of the tax credit
and l0OphOle- closing bill.
What has been asserted pri-
vately and indicated publicly by
administration officialS-and de-
cided weeks ago by the experts
has now been acknowledged by
the President. 1t is this:
The country has not emerged
from the 1960-61 recession as
rapidly or as thoroughly as an
ticipated; we are unlikely to reach
the goal of a $50 billion gross ma
tional product this year and Fed
eral action is needed in the cir
cumstanceS.
Mr.. Kennedy chose a news con-
ference for announcing, formally
and officially. what Treasury Sec
rotary Dillon said on Monday was
coming-a drive in the new Con-
gress for an acroSs-the-board re-
duction in personal and corpor-
ate income taxes in 1868, effec-
tive as of January /.

most of the experts agree, that

Troubles at Home

Moreover, Mr.. Khrushchev is
not happy with developments in
his own economy. Ten days ago
he was forced to apologize to his
own people for raising the price
of meat by 80 per cent and of but
ter by Is per cent. This food rise
an effort to stimulate agricul-
tural production without halting
industrial growth-was a severe
internal propaganda defeat for
Mr.. Khrushchev.
Other countries, notably East
Germany and Czechoslovakia,
have reported food shortages, and
Poland, once a big wheat export
er, buys about $50 million worth
of American surplus yearly. Red
China's problems, Of course, are
many times worse.
The Comecon meeting broke up
with a communique. apparently
directed against the Common
Market. 1t criticized regional
economic groups and advocated
a worldwide conference to set up
an agency to increase world trade.

Foreign Aid:
Restrictions

The Senate on Thursday
voted a SAG billion foreign aid
authorization bill after soften
ing a ban on help to COmmu-
mist -dOminated countries.
Liaison between the executive
branch and the Democratic lead
ership in Congress has been
spotty during the year and a half
of the Kennedy administration.
More than once, embarrassing, or
legislatively critical, situations
have been provoked where, with
more skillful handling, they could
have been averted.
A case in point, in the opinion
of some observers, came up last
week during the Senate's consid-
Grafton of the foreign aid au-
thorization bill.
Senator Proxmire. Democrat OF
Wisconsin, offered an amendment
to bar financial aid to YugoSlavia,
which recently has been flirting
with the idea of joining Soviet
Premier Khrushchev's new Com
munist Common Market" The
amendment would not have barred
sales of surplus food.
The Proxmire move struck a
sympathetic note and. in fact,
encouraged attempts to restrict
further aid and economic con-
facts between the United States
and Communist countries.
Senator Lausche, Democrat of
Ohio, formalized this sentiment
with an amendment which would
have cut off all aid to any nation
known to be dominated by
communism or Marxism." The
Senate approved it, 81 to "a, and
President Kennedy, his room for
maneuver in dealing with Com
muniSt countries severely re-
Stricted, was upset,

undertaken by Mr.. Kennedy and

Changes Next Year

The Presidents statement made
it clear that, unless the economy
goes into a tailspin, he would not
ask Congress for a cut in in
come taxes this year-as urged
by some Republicans and Demo-
Gratis on Capitol Hill.
Actually, Mr.. Kennedy was using
the carrot and stick approach. On
the one hand, he held out the
promise of unspecified tax reduc-
lions and on the other he was
calling for the people to help him
prod Congress to approve his year.
old tax credit and loophole- clos
ing bill, which is now being con-
sidered, at a leisurely pace, by
the Senate Finance Committee.
The House passed the measure by
a narrow margin in March.
There is no need for this coun-
try to stand helplessly by and
watch a recovery run out of gas"
Mr.. Kennedy declared. 1--WE have
a program to boost it and I hope
that all those who are concerned
about their stocks or their prof
it's or their jobs will help us get
action on this program"
The current tax bill was al
ready having difficulty in the
Senate. Businessmen are not en-
thusiaStic about the $1.3 billion
tax credit provided for plant ex-
pansion-they prefer better deal
on depreciation of equipment than
the 81 billion write-off due in
the next 80 days. And there is
substantial opposition to another
key feature-the 20 per cent with
holding tax on dividends and in
tereSt.
Roger M. Blough, U. S. Steel
chairman, said on Monday that
the tax credit is "by no means a
substitute for adequate deprecia-
ton" He also warned against the
Tightening of taxation on income
earned overseas, saying it would
dampen investment both in this
country and abroad"

The Soviet bloc for years has
been advocating an increase in

their pleas have fallen on deaf

the Soviet bloc wants primarily
to buy machines and equipment
that it has not perfected. These
advanced products usually have

sumner goods to the Russians, but

Part Of the current propaganda
offensive obviously is aimed at try

Moscow's strategy has been to

talist states could never agree
among themselves.

to the Soviet bloc. At present,

Tax Overhaul

One way to help assure that
the recovery is longer and strong
er than before and is not cut
short by another dip is to over
haul this tax structure and pro-
vide reductions in income levies.
Just how much of a cut in in
come taxes is planned. Mr.. Ken
nedy would not say. Administra-
ton officials are said to be think
ing in terms of a total reduc-
ton of SIS billion. Personal levies
might be cut from the present
80 per cent top to IS per cent and
from the 20 per cent bottom to
is per cent. AS for corporations,
the tax might be cut from So per
cent to so per cent or less.
Mr.. Kennedy has been con-
cerned all along about the expen-
ditures American industry planned
to make this year in new plant
investment, key to industrial
growth, particularly in the face
of increasing competition from the
modernized equipment of the Eu-
ropean Common Market countries.
The recent sharp slide in the
stock market-the Dow-Jones in
dustrial average was down again
last week.-Mrs. increased Mr.. Ken
nedy's worry over this matter. In
reply to a question, he said:
1.-The one area which is caus-
ing concern in the economy has
been plant investment, which has
not been as high as they origi-
nally hoped it would be in jan
uary.
Now, If we can, by the vari-
GUS tax measures I have discussed
and by other steps which may
become useful as time goes on,

Rejects Birchites

For Mr.. Nixon to win in No
vember, he will have to have
nearly 100 per cent Of the Re-
publican vote and still garner
about 10 per cent of those regis
tered as Democrats-or, If less
er percentage Of the G. o. p then
a greater number of Democrats.
During the campaign and again
last week, Mr.. Nixon bravely re-
jected the extremist John Birch
society, a group which strongly
supported Mr.. Shell. The strength
of the Birchites was demonstrat-
ed in the primary when three
men - two incumbents - were
nominated for United States Rep
resentatives on the Republican
ticket. All were from the Los An
geles area.
Mr.. Shell did not respond in
the gracious manner of a defeated
primary candidate and pledge his
immediate support to the winner.
Instead, he asserted that the for
mer Vice President would have to
assure him on the things that he,
Mr.. Shell, stands for before he
would join the Nixon effort.
The chances are said to be good
that Mr.. Shell will, before too
long, announce his support of Mr..
Nixon.
