The Deepening Splits in the Red World

At last weeks East German
Communist Party Congress,
Nikita S. Khrushchev called for
a truce in the theological war
within the Communist world.
WI Hsiu-chuan is a lowly men,
ber of the Chinese Communist
Central Committee. Probably be-
cause of his lack of rank, he has
had the pleasureless job of rep
reSenting Red China at several
recent East European party con-
gresses-and of hearing his coun-
try attacked for its "dogmatic"
policies.
Undoubtedly WI was prepared
for his latest mission to the East
German party congress in East
Berlin. But it is doubtful that
WI anticipated the reaction his
rather routine address received.
On Friday. WI got up to speak
his part. All week. European Com
munists from Nikita s. Khru-
shchev down had criticized the
"dogmatic" Albanians "and those
that support them"-meaning the
Chinese. Now, it was to be Pc
kings chance to criticize the Tito
"revisionists" and those that
support them"-meaning the So
Wet Union and every other Com
munist Party in Europe.

forward Pass

The Wall Street Journal, calling
the new budget a daring fiscal
forward pass" with political as
well as economic implications,
described Quarterback" Ken
nedy's play this way:
Federal spending will be
lofted in an ever-rising path -
shooting above even World War
II peaks for the first time in fiscal
'64, and continuing on up from
there. Federal revenues will creep
along far below, deliberately weak
ened by big tax cut designed
to nourish the economy.
"Only in the closing years of
Mr.. Kennedy's anticipated second
term is the Treasury'S intake from
an enriched citizenry expected to
rise sufficiently to catch spend
ing's trajectory. Then, with the
budget safely balanced again, the
Nation will romp to a touchdown
Of full employment and a high
er rate of growth with price sta
bility."
The President is unquestionably
embarked on a political and eco
nomic gamble. His tax cut-tax
reform proposal would add a net
OF $2.7 billion to an otherwise an
ticipated deficit of $92 billion for
1864. The benefits from unleash
ing the checkreins on private
spending, via lower income taxes,
will not be fully felt until 1866
or 1867 by his own reckoning.
Evening star., 1963-01-20

the proposed SO billion cut in
Federal income levies for the Sec
ond half of 1868.
Mr.. Kennedy called tax cut
tax reform "the most urgent task
confronting the Congress in
1863" one which "overshadows all
other domestic problems"
But he had additional proposals
and, though he did not seem to
stress them too vigorously, his
congressional lieutenants later re-
ported his devotion to them. They
included medical aid to the aged
under social security, a domestic
peace corps to work with Ameri-
can Indians, in mental hospitals
and schools for the illiterate and
handicapped; youth conserva-
ton corps. Federal aid for local
mass transit systems; aid to edu-
cation and a hint at a bill out
lawing literacy tests for voting.
All in all, it is a moderate do
mestic program. AS he did last
year with the Trade Expansion
Act, the President appeared ready
to concentrate most of his energy
on the one big one taxes.

The Budget:
New Peak

President Kennedy on Thurs
day proposed a record spending
budget of $9S.8 billion for fiscal
1864 and estimated a deficit Of
S11.9 billion.
In his eight years in the White
House, President Eisenhower at
tained three small budget sur
pluses and five sizeable deficits
for total red-ink figure Of $22
billion.
After two years in the same
office, President Kennedy, by his
own estimate, will have run UP
the national deficit by $152 bill
lion. And last week, he presented
a tax plan and a budget which
would produce an estimated loss
of Sl1.9 billion more, making a
total deficit for his first three
years as President run to SGT bill
lion, by all odds the greatest for
such peacetime period in Ameri-
can history. Furthermore, he ex-
poets a deficit Of an unestimated
size for the fourth year Of the
term he began in January, 1861.
Mr.. Kennedy sent his new
budget to Congress on Thursday
and estimated expenditures at
1888 billion (S1.2 billion under
the psychologically important $1O0
billion mark and revenues at
1858 billion.

Bloc Backing

In fact, all the East Europeans
are behind Mr.. Khrushchev in
his feud with the Chinese. Peking,
however, has considerable appeal
in the backward areas of the
world. Fidel Castro, for instance,
although obviously in need of
Soviet economic help, gave a fiery
speech last week calling for up
risings all over Latin America.
The revolutionary tone of the
talk was Castro's own, but in
the larger Red context, 1t showed
more sympathy with Peking's
aims than Moscow's.
The feud itself, however, does
not yet mean any changes as far
as the United States is concerned.
At present there is no indication
Of any major shift in Soviet poll
cy regarding inspection Of arms
control measures or on Berlin.
A detente with the West-if
there should be one-could lead
TO relaxation of pressures within
the Soviet Union. Indications from
Moscow. however, are that the
party is exerting more control
than ever, especially on the intel
lectuals.

Chinese Booed

But as soon as he started to
speak, the $500 delegates. mostly
East Germans. began shouting.
jeering, and even shoe-stomping.
Nobody could have heard what WI
was saying, but they all knew
1t was similar to what the Chinese
press has been saying for the
past few months:
/. A world Communist meeting
should be held to discuss the
main problems splitting the alli-
ance.
2. Communists should not be
afraid Of the paper tiger" OF
imperialism as in Cuba. That
sending nuclear weapons to Cuba
was a mistake-a case OF adven-
turism - but that negotiating
with Washington over Havana's
head showed little concern for
the sovereignty Of Communist
states-and indicated big nation
chauvinism."
3. Help should be given to Com
munist states rather than TO
bourgeois national ones. Any
criticism Of the Chinese action
In India plays into the hands OF
the imperialists and damages the
unity Of the movement.

New Approach

The record called for a new ap-
proach and the President took
one - an approach generally
backed by business and labor: a
program of substantial cuts in
both personal and corporate in
come taxes.
While details of the tax cuts
and the tax reforms which will
be companion recommendation
must await the Presidents spe-
cial message later in the week,
Mr.. Kennedy disclosed that he
wanted a total reduction in per-
sonal and corporate levies of
$l3.5 billion year to be obtained
IN stages over a three-year period.
OF the overall figure, $l1 bill
lion would be cut from personal
levies and $2.5 billion from cor
porate. The individual tax rates
would range between IA and 65
per cent rather than the present
20 and 81 per cent. In other
words, individuals would be taxed,
on the first $1,000 of taxable in
come, at a rate of IA instead Of
20 per cent and the scale would
rise from there. Corporation taxes
would drop from So to AZ per
cent, the pre-Korean War rate.
About SO billion of the $l3.5
billion cut would come in the
second half Of calendar 1868, II
Congress votes affirmatively by
July /.

Tax Reforms

AS for tax reforms, a matter
which will provoke considerable
controversy In Congress, Mr.. Ken
nedy estimated that they would
recover about $3.5 billion a year,
putting the net reduction in tax
liabilities at $40 billion.
In addition, the President prom
ised TO hold down to present levels
or to cut slightly in fiscal 1864
all expenditures except those for
defense, space and fixed charges.
Mr.. Kennedy's argument for
taking the tax cut-tax reform ap-
proach as the way TO solve the
twin problems Of economic growth
and fuller employment has been
stated before. on Monday he put
II this way:
1T is increasingly clear that
our obsolete tax system exerts
too heavy a drag on private pur-
chasing power. profits and en-
ployment. Designed TO check in
flation In earlier years, 1t now
checks growth instead. It discour-
ages extra effort and risk 1t
invites recurrent recessions, de-
presses our Federal revenues and
causes chronic budget deficits"
The President emphasized he
believed that, while his plan
would mean more budget deficits
Evening star., 1963-01-20
DOMESTIC

1t is precisely this tagging econ
omy which is giving Mr.. Kennedy
the most concern and on which
he concentrated the bulk of his
state-of-the-Union attention.
A year ago, the Nation was be-
lieved to be on the road to new
prosperity after having emerged
from the mild recession of 1862
1861. The Presidents thoughts ap-
peared to have been as much on
preventing initiation as to promot-
ing economic growth.
Recession is only one enemy
OF a free economy-inflation is
another" he said. Initiation too
often follows in the shadow of
growth, while price stability is
made easy by stagnation or
controls"
Accordingly, he promised to
hold down the fiscal 1862 budget
deficit and said he would present
a balanced budget for 1868.
Unfortunately things did not
work out the way Mr.. Kennedy
hoped and figured. The 1862 def
icit was $6.4 billion and the loss
for 1868 is now estimated at $8.8
billion. The economy remained
stationary and the unemployment
rate failed to drop below 5 per
cent.
Evening star., 1963-01-20
Issue in Congress

He is, therefore, apparently fig
uring that the taxpayer will over
look the planned deficits of the
next two years in gratitude for
cuts in his Federal income tax.
But taking first things first. It
has given fiscal conservatives in
Congress blazing issue for 1868.
No sooner had the new financial
plan reached Capitol Hill than the
cries of the budget -balancers rang
out in such bipartisan anguish
that they must have pierced even
the stout walls Of the White
House.
Chairman Cannon Of the House
Appropriations Committee called
1t entirely too big" and PROM
ised TO cut 1t substantially with
out impairing national security"
Chairman Byrd of the Senate
Finance Committee forecast a
one-year record deficit of $l4 bill
lion If Mr.. Kennedy's tax cuts
are enacted and said spending
would exceed 500 billion.
Perhaps the depth Of feeling
on the part Of many members of
Congress is explained by the fact
that the budget plan is almost
always an optimistic one. Ger
tainly, projected surpluses have
infrequently been realized. In the
last 33 years. there have been
rs deficit budgets. And this year.
the estimate is for a near-record
loss.
For example, in President FL
senhower's Sl24 billion red-ink
year Of 1859. he estimated a sur
plus of $500 million. In the cur
rent fiscal year, Mr.. Kennedy fig
ured a surplus of $500 million.
He now estimates a deficit OF
S8.8 billion. Unexpected interna-
tional crises and a stagnant econ
omy obviously can play havoc
with budget guesses.
Evening star., 1963-01-20
FOREIGN

Looking at the world and Amer
ica's relations with other nations,
Mr.. Kennedy liked what he saw.
He asserted:
"The people of West Berlin re-
main both free and secure. A set
tlement. though precarious, has
been reached in Laos. The spear
point Of aggression has been
blunted in Wet Nam. The end of
the agony may be in sight in
the Congo. The doctrine Of the
troika (the Soviet plan for a
three-man U. N. secretary-gen-
eralship) is dead. And, while the
danger continues, a deadly threat
has been removed from Cuba"
But the President, while con-
tending that 1--WE have reaffirmed
the scientific and military su-
periority of freedom" in recent
months, mixed words of caution
with those Of cheer. Speaking like
a coach whose team has taken
the lead just before the half, he
sought to bar any letdown when
he said:
"A moment of pause is not a
promise of peace. Dangerous
problems remain from Cuba to
the South China Sea-"
The President divided the "for-
eign" part Of his address into
four sections: the Atlantic AL
lance, the developing nations, the
new Sino-Soviet difficulties and
the search for peace. He had
these thoughts:
On NATO-Free Europe is mov-
ing toward a new interdependence
and 1t has our best wishes. Com
mon defense is still the No. l
problem. The Nassau pact recog-
nizes the need for a partnership
Evening star., 1963-01-20

in the planning, manning and di-
recting of a truly multilateral
nuclear force within an increas-
ingly intimate NATO alliance"
AS for economic goals, neither
the United States nor the Com
mon Market are so rich that we
can afford to shelter high-cost
farms or factories from foreign
competition. If the Common Mar
ket should move toward protec-
tionism it would undermine its
own basic principles. AS for us,
we plan to encourage trade
expansion.
almost at the time Mr.. Ken
nedy was addressing Congress,
President de Gaulle was telling a
news conference In Paris that
France could not accept the Mas
sau pact offer of American Po-
laris missiles and intended to
press ahead with its own inde-
pendent nuclear force. Further
more, he indicated he was not
ready to approve Britains bid for
membership in the Common
Market)
On Developing Nations - The
Soviet's attempt to turn Cuba
into a nuclear striking base and
the Chinese Communist invasion
of India have shocked these nom
aligned peoples. Our prompt aid
to India and support of the U. MS
Congo unification operation has
treasured them.
But it is difficult for these
young nations to concentrate on
external threats when they must
fight poverty and despair. There
fore, Americans must support a
continued foreign aid program
and remember that success does
not come in a day. Should we
cease our help, failure in a dozen
countries would be sudden and
certain.
On SinO- Soviet Rift-The dis
agreement is over means, not
ends. "A dispute over how best
to bury the free world is no
grounds for Western rejoicing"
The disarray Of the Communist
camp is heightened by the his
torical force of nationalism and
the yearning of all men to be
free and by the gross inefficien-
cies of the Red economies.
On Peace Prospects The coun-
sci is, be cautious. Il foresee no
spectacular reversal in Cpmmu-
mist methods or goals" But
should the Soviet Union decide
to walk the path of peace, all
free nations would join her and
new areas of agreement would be
opened up. Until she does, we
must keep armed and alert. Our
arms must be of the conventional
type as well as nuclear because
"a line Of destroyerS in a quar-
antine may be more useful
to our real security than the
multiplication Of awesome weap-
ons beyond all rational need"
The President closed his ad-
dress on a hopeful note. Asserting

Real Radicals

The Chinese have shown them
selves to be the radicals in the
Communist movement-the more
revolutionary Of the revolution
lists. In Communist jargon, they
are the "leftists," the "Trotsky-
lists" "the dogmatists." In reality
they need to keep the revolu-
tionary ethos alive. The Russians,
still giving lip service to the great
October revolution, have become
more concerned with economic
improvements at home. They are
the "rightists." "the revisionists,"
and the "Titoists." Oddly enough
their foreign policy is also "Sta
linist."
Mr.. Khrushchev called for
cooling down period" in which
the varying sides In the Reds
controversy would refrain from
calling each other names. The

Mr.. Khrushchev refrained from

again using the convention Of the
"Albanians and their friends"
This means that he decided not
to make the split a permanent
one, AS long as Mr.. Khrushchev
and Mao Tse-tung are in charge,
however, a real reapproachment
is unlikely.
Mr.. Ulbricht devoted much Of
his speech TO a call for a Berlin
settlement. and continued his
soft" line OF late-offering vari-
GUS proposals for easing tensions
between the two Germanies. But
neither he nor Mr.. Khrushchev
seemed ready to drop the demand
that Western troops be removed

THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
Our Tide Is Running Strong -

President Kennedy, finding the
state Of the Union "gOOd,"
asked Congress on Monday to
vote a S13.5 billion tax cut plan
to make it better.
Article II, section 8 Of the
United States Constitution states
that the President shall from
time to time give to the Con-
gress information of the state Of
the Union :"
Traditionally, the President has
made this report at the opening
session Of Congress each year.
Since World War II and Amer
ica's growing global commitments
and influence, the report has be-
come a message on the states Of
the world as we'll as on the con-
dition of the Nation.
Thus 1t was last Monday when
President Kennedy went before a
joint session of the new 88th Con-
gress, assembled In the House Of
Representatives.
AS he did twice before, Mr..
Kennedy devoted approximately
half of his state-of Union
address to the domestic scene and
the other half to the interna-
tional. And he again underlined
how closely problems of one area
are related to those of the other,
saying:
Upon our achievement of
greater vitality and strength at
home hang our fate and future
in the world our ability to
sustain and supply the security of
free men and nations our
ability to command their respect
for our leadership. Nothing
our opponents could do to en-
courage their own ambitions

much as tagging United States

vented, but If one must come,
then only imperialism will be de-
stroyed.
5. Peaceful coexistence" plays
into the hands Of imperialists by
weakening the enthusiasm of the
masses.
These points were solidly at
tackled both by Mr.. Khrushchev
and by Walter Ulbricht earlier in
the week. Wu's attempt to refute
them led to such a noise that
he finally sat down after 80 min
utes. This proved that the Chi
nese have little support In Europe

eastward and contaminate Rus
sia. In short, he repeated his
ideas on the futility of a policy
based on nuclear war.
AS usual, Mr.. Khrushchev i'm
piled that the Chinese want a
nuclear war and he doesn't. This
simplifies the Chinese position.
Actually, the Chinese say one
should not fear a nuclear war
but should act in spite of the
threat Of one. They say they do
not want one-and so far have
avoided a showdown with the
West.
Evening star., 1963-01-20

be recognized In Berlin, before
any peace treaty can be even dis
cussed.
The East German congress has
not answered the question: How
stands the alliance? AS a result
Of last weeks activity, Mr.. Ul-
bricht's position seems secure
he even received a personal in
dorsement from Mr.. Khrushchev
but he seems to have become
even more than ever Mr.. Khru-
shchev's man in Germany.
Evening star., 1963-01-20

for instance, where the chance Of
a nuclear war is slim, the Chinese
can act more belligerent. A Rus
sian invasion of Berlin similar in
scope to the Chinese attack Of
India might lead to an atomic
war.
Mr. Khrushchev's speech was
his most moderate yet. He noted
the vast number of American nu-
clear warheads-he guessed 40, 900
and said that a nuclear war
would destroy almost all the
civilized Notwithstanding China
and Russia. He mentioned his
own 100 megaton super-weapon,
but said 1t couldn't be used in
Europe because it would blow

NEW YORK CUPID - Dunhill
Tailored Clothes, Inc, is an en-
porium Of such imposing dignity
that male customers are apt to
lower their voices and talk in
hushed tones as they look over
a bolt of fabric from which
they will order a $500 suit.
Its customers are so rich and
famous that Gentlemen's Quar-
terly, slick magazine Of mems
fashion, recently showed play
boy-diplomat Porfiro RubiroSa
in his new Dunhill wardrobe
and Mems Wear, a glossy trade
publication, showed rising
young actor George Hamilton in
his.
Since each magazine showed
a wardrobe of unparalleled
magnificence we dropped in on
Leon Bloch who is head of the
tailoring firm and occasionally
is known as a bit of a playboy
himself. and. of course, a well
dressed one.
You're always right if you
are not too extreme" he began
in response to a question about
s%artorial splendors. "MoSt of
the people are wrong their
lapels are too narrow, both in
ready-to-wear and custom made
suits.
"A lot of people think a suit
is not in style if you can see
the lapel-the same people who
will complain that something is
out Of style when it finally fill
tiers down to the masses. But
if you pay a lot for clothes and

are always normal.
"And, although we set the
trend, we were the first to
make lapels and shoulders mar
rover. But we never carried it
to the extreme and a man who
travels abroad will not be rec
ognized Immediately as an
American because his lapels
are too narrow.
"Now the proper width of a
lapel depends on the size of the
