Less Than Urged

The House-p assed tax bill
provides for tax cuts somewhat
less than the administration
proposed. They range upward
from IA per cent on the first
$500 for q single taxpayer. as
compared with 20 per cent on
the first $4,000 at present.
With regard to public accom-
modations, the council said 1t
recognizes that thousands Of
Negro consumers in all parts Of
the Nation, by being denie d
free access to public accommo-
dations and services, are denied
the consumers basic right to
choose :" and added:
THE council urges that the
President continue to emphasize
the relationship of basic hui
man rights and civil rights to
consumer rights"

the council said:

Since 1t is the low-income
consumers who have the great
est unmet needs and who are
likely to spend "a higher per-
centage Of the additional
money which q tax cut would
permit them to retain, the
major cuts should come in the

President Trims Request
President Kennedy cut his

of foreign aid spending believe
the appropriation for the COM

at about $50 billion.
Mr.. Passman left little doubt
that he would like to see the
total kept closer to So billion. He
reported in his letter that pre-
viously appropriated but un-
spent funds totaled $685.

year last June 80.
He noted that this, together
with new fund authorizations

Tdwes Urges
Tax Law Shift
By Virginia
BY a Star staff Writer

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 22.-Gov.
Tawes today asked Virginia
Gov. Harrison to seek modifi-
cation of Virginia's new tax
laws, which require non-resi-
dents to pay Virginia income
taxes if they work in that
State.
Gov. Tawes, in a letter to
the Virginia chief executive,
said Maryland. Virginia and
the District had worked for
years in harmony on the tax
matter until Virginia changed
Its income tax law last year.
Under your prior law, our
residents were completely ex-
empt from the Virginia income
tax on compensation received
from employment within your
State and, in turn, residents of
Virginia working in Maryland
were completely exempt from
our Maryland income tax on
compensation earned here"
Gov. Tawes said.
"As the District Of Columbia
does not tax non-residentS, the
tax climate, so to speak, has
been most harmonious with re-
gard to residents of the three
jurisdictions, who found en-
ployment in one of the other
jurisdictions and this has
seemed to work well for all con-
cerned."
The new Virginia law will
require Maryland residents who
work in Virginia to file Vir-
ginia income tax returns. The
Maryland residents will get
credit for the tax they pay to
Maryland but will have to pay
the difference between the Vir-
GINA and Maryland taxes. Vir-
ginia income taxes generally
are higher.
Gov. Tawes said he is bring
ing the matter to Gov. Har-
rison's attention with the
hope that you and the General
Assembly of Virginia will see
fit to modify your law so as
to remove this burden on our
residents who work in your
State and thus bring about the
complete harmony that has ex-
listed heretofore"

Raise Asked
By Teachers
Darlington

Arlington teachers have
asked for pay raises which
eventually would enable In
Structors with is years Of ex-
perience to earn $4,100 more
than they now receive an
nually.
The county presently pays
beginning instructors with
bachelor degrees $4,700 and
gives them $1,000 after IL years
of experience. The scale for
those with masters degrees
ranges from $500 to $500.
The Arlington Education
Association last night urged
the school board to replace
these scales with what it
termed two separate tracks. I"
The first one would offer
teachers with B.A. degrees
$4,000 their first year and
$500 after their twelfth.
Those with masters degrees
would get $500 more each year.
The second track would pay
teachers with bachelors degrees
$1,000 after five years and
$4,000 after Is.
In putting the new system
into effect, the association
would limit the increase any
individual could achieve in a
single year to 5000.
Teachers with more than five
years experience automatically
would be transferred to the
higher salary scale.
This is the fifth proposal for
revising salaries thus far pre-
sented to the school board
which has set March 5 as the
deadline by which it will adopt
a new plan.

- INTERPRETATION
NATO Group Opposes
Aiding Reds With 7 rode

mans approach to the prob
lem. 1t is not a question OF
wanting to keep the Russians
lean and hungry. 1t is simply
that the competition is in
something of a squeeze at the
moment. And, for their part,
the majority of NATO coun-
tries do not propose to help
them out of it.
For the Russians it is a
problem of ALLEGATION of re-
sources. There are increasing
pressures for greater imports
from the West, including, for
the time being at least, large
amounts of food.
Reds Pay in Gold
There are limited resources
to pay for these imports
Russia has few exports which
the West can use. For the most
part, its imports are paid fol-
in gold. Its gold supply is moi
overly abundant. The only
alternative is long term credits
and Russian pressure to obtain
such credits is expected tt
grow in the coming months.
In denying such credits thu
Western nations are not de,
luding themselves with the ides
that Russia's economy will bs
terribly upset.
1t could cause q certain
diversion Of efforts into work
ing of Russia's relatively un-
profitable gold mines, and Other
marginal re-allocation Of avail
able resources. But its effect
on the Russian economy as a
whole, or on the Soviet arma-
ment effort, admittedly would
be small.
BritiSh-Italian View
Nevertheless, the view is
strongly held that Withholding
of credits is the only sensible
course. 1t is grounded on the
idea that even a marginal in
fluence on the Russian deci-
sion-making process is highly
worthwhile. And that nothing
was ever won for the West, in
the way of concessions, as a
result of Russian gratitude.

tent the Italian) view is that
business methods of this sort
are not particularly applicable
to international politics. They
argue that commerce between
nations inevitably influences
their other policies. And since
this influence usually tends to
be benign and civilizing, the
more-trade-t he-merrier should
be the policy.
So far as Russia is con-
cerned they believe trade is
or could become-an element
in East-West relations at least
as important as exchanges of
people. other cultural contacts,
summit meetings, disarmament
conferences and all other par
aphernalia of modern diplom-
acy.
They see extension of credits
on a strictly business basis as
a normal way of stimulating
such trade. They believe that
the resulting influence on the
Russian decision-making proc
ess will be far greater and
more favorable IN the long run
than the influence of arbitrary
restrictions imposed for purely
political reasons.
Whatever civilities may bt
respected within the NATC
Council, this is an argument
which seems likely to divide
the alliance for some time tx
come. Failure to find a com,
mon policy on the problem-ol

COP. Ask
NAT0 Link
To Hot Line
b the Associated Press

A House Republican task
force on NATO until today
urged President Kennedy to
cut the Atlantic treaty allies in
on the "hot line" between
Washington and Moscow.
The group, headed by Rep
resentative Quie, Republican Of
Minnesota, said in a statement
that the emergency communi-
cation line was negotiated BIZ
literally and secretly with Rus
STA and has contributed greatly
to what they called disarray in
the North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization.
The hot line to Moscow,
providing as it does a direct
means of secret communication
between the two great pro-
tagonists Of the cold war, can
only serve to exacerbate the
tensions that already exist
between the United States and
its NATO partners" the group
asserted.
Their statement said the
recommendation was sent to
Secretary Of State Rusk and
his reply was mot entirely re-
sponsive to the proposal"
Economic Unit Urged
The group also recommended
that Mr.. Kennedy establish a
NATO committee to study eco
nomic warfare and act on trade
between NATO countries and
the Soviet bloc. 1t said this
idea has been partially i'm
plemented" through the cur
rent NATO conference in Paris.
The task force said its most
important conclusion was that
NATO disunity stems largely
from what it called admins
tration efforts to obtain a
"detente" or accommodation"
with the Soviet Union.
Since NATO is a military al
lance, it said, when the So
VETS smile, NATO distinte-
CRATES; when they sheer, NATO
draws closer together"
Other Conclusions Listed
1t listed these other conclu-
sions:
Disunity has been fostered by
"thoughtleSs and insensitive
actions" toward NATO partners,
such as the Skybolt controversy
with Great Britain over United
States cancellation of the
bomber-launched missile pro-
