Douthat There is no question but that both major political parties would like to give the voters definite assurance before the November elec 'tion that there will be an income tax reduction approved by Con gress early in the next session. Tax cuts—which enable the voters to spend more of their own money as they see fit—are regarded as having extraordinary political allure. So the politicians generally can be counted upon to support them when they are at all possible. The biggest question now facing the politicians—both Republi cans and Democrats—is this: Where is the money coming from? A surplus of only $700 million is forecast for the current fiscal year ending next June 30—and Secretary of the Treasury Humphrey believes that a surplus of $3 or $4 billion must be in sight before serious consideration can be given to tax cutting. Therefore, to meet Mr. Humphrey’s requirements, the government’s income must be greater than expected—or the government must spend less than ex ' pected—or there must be a combination of the two. What happens along these lines will depend on the degree of business property—which largely determines the amount of taxes paid —and the seriousness of economy efforts by the administration andi by Congress. At any rate—regardless of what is finally decided—all signs indi-' cate that at the next session of Congress there will be prolonged discussion of personal income tax reduction and of corporation tax relief, particularly for small business. Both the Democrats and Republicans are committed—in their platforms and otherwise—to early action toward reducing personal income taxes and granting small business additional tax relief. But there is no assurance when this will be done. It is recalled that many congressional tax experts contended last January that neither party could afford to go into the current political campaign without reducing taxes. n But what happened? No serious move was made in the direc tion of tax reduction and both parties went along with the adminis Iration in using the $1.75 billion surplus (as of June 30) for reducing the national debt In fact, there wasn’t even any serious talk about tax reduction. The Democrats, in their platform, promised an increase in the personal income tax exemption from $600 to $800. This would result in a revenue loss of about $4.7 billion and would relieve approxi-: mately 11 million taxpayers of any income tax liability whatsoever This alone—without considering the spending of additional billions which the Democratic platform pledged—would result in a $4 billion deficit in the current fiscal year (based on present estimates) and start the nation on a new inflationary spiral. The Republican platform pledged further reductions in govern ment spending, continued balancing of the budget, gradual reduc tion of the national debt—and then, insofar as consistent with a bal anced budget, to work toward further reductions in taxes with parti cular consideration for low—and middle-income families. Based on its record, the Eisenhower administration, if re-elected, can be expected to oppose an increase in exemptions and favor gen eral rate reduction—if taxes are to be cut. So, the roadblocks to a tax reduction are formidable, but they an be removed—if prosperity continues—and economy advocates en 1st support. The Bell Tolls By Leonard H. Bell We still believe that the only way to circumvent persecution, especially organized persecution, that has the blessings and legal protection of both the state and the people of the section, is to move the persecuted from that section. The inquisitorial persecutions and tortures meted out to the Jews in Spain, was stopped only when the Jews fled from Spain. In fact, this migration from fear and persecution has become a pattern for persecuted races to follow and for philanthropic peoples and na tions to finance. Even our own democratic United States always speedily goes to the aid of such peoples. Hitler’s persecutions of the Jews resulted in wholesale migration from Germany. Usually persecuted peoples have a great many talents and ser vices that are sadly missed by their persecutors when they are taken ztway. A disorganized army faced with certain defeat and surrender will also retreat to a more favorable position. In certain sections of the South, where Negroes are in greater numbers than whites—we are disorganized. We live constantly un der a psychological iron curtain (similar to South Africa), that re leases many of our children into the world of manhood with a de cided inferiority complex. The relatively small number of us in these sections who enjoy the privilege of franchise can do no politi cal harm to the legislative and Congressional bigots, who directly and indirectly keep the race issue alive. We find many Southern members of Congress, the lawmakers of the land, now engaged in holding hearings on the Supreme Court’s school of Integration De cision. There is little doubt that these hearings will do the Negro no good anywhere in the country, and they could set back implemen tation of Southern school integration for at least another genera tion We read of a Villanova University psychologist, who assertedly has proven by psychological tests that the Negro’s capacity for edu cation is not as great as that of the white’s. Amost unfair theory, but there you are, as usual down through history, Southerners and Southern-minded people using all of the old gimmicks that have been used since a need was found to keep the Negro ignorant and in fear. Our inability to fight these organized sources of continued psy chological persecution effectively proves that we are in a similar position as that of a disorganized army. Such disorganized resistance as we seem to be waging in the South takes years to win in an at mosphere so fraught with inbred prejudices and a Nazi-like feeling of racial superiority. Especially when these prejudices and feelings nrf kept alive by both lawmakers and theorilic sympathizers Years ", waiting to win our case means depriving cur future men and wo “ „ nf the proper kind of - ducation needed to make them capable Of heipU to Se the democratic principles of the U.S. work. Not Equal Rights By Frank R. Crosswalth It U a fact that Saudi Arabia, an oil rich country in the middle East, is an absolute monarchy and is one of the only two countries in the world where actual human slavery is still legal and practiced. The Eisenhower Administration has been charged with furnishing tanks and other arm? to Saudi Arabia. These arms could only be used against either Israel, the only country in that part of the world i which is a genuine democracy, or against the exploited subjects and] miserable slaves of the king and other slaveholders there. Whatever the opologists for the Eisenhower Administration may | try to tell us about their record on Civil Rights, we Negroes know that when that Administration furnishes arms to a slaveholding na ' tion which is an absolute monarchy, then the Administration and its 1 supporters cannot be genuinely and truly interested in equal rights ! for all. Integration Clashes Echo In Political Forums By Josephine Ripley Staff Corespondent of The Christian Science Monitor. Washington Clashes all along the integra tion front are reverberating in the nation’s capital. Both presidential nominees— President Eisenhower and now Adlai E. Stevenson—have now deplored the character of the current congressional investiga tion of the pioneer desegregation program of the District of Col umbia school system. In the opinion of Mr. Steven son the hearings "are serving no constructive purpose.” President Eisenhower has expressed the view that these hearings will not "impair” either the program "or the good, sense citizens of the district have shown in their man ner of accomplishing desegrega tion." ‘ The House subcommittee con ducting the investigation has been criticized as being "stacked” with southerners opposed to de segregation and with being con dusted in a one-sided manner. The views of President Eisen hower and tor Stevenson were made public in telegrams to the National Association for the Ad vancement of Colored People. Roy Wilkins. NAACT executive secretary, appeared to favor Mr. Stevenson’s choice of words over , those of the President’s. Amid these poliUcal maneuver-, ings came the ringing Challenge of Omer Carmichael, superinten dent of the Louisville, Kentucky, schools, for a bipartisan approach to the whole issue which he terms “the greatest human problem of our generation.” PARTIES CHALLENGED Sup erintendent Carmichael, publicly praised by President Eisenhower for his integration program for the Louisville schools, said flatly on the "Face the Nation” television program here that both Democrats and Republicans had failed in their obligation to the public in not giving a clearcut endorsement of j the United States Supreme Court’s decision in their political plat forms. In his view, the two parties, on such a delicate issue of human relations as this should have “got together and come out. with a common platform.” Effort has been made in the current congressional investiga tion of the district schools to show that Negroes are substantially be hind white pupils in classroom achievement. Superintendent Car michaei agrees with this disparity but contends that it is "not as great as many people feel.” Moreover, he does not attrib ute it to race so much as to fam ily, financial, cultural, and social ogical background. Tests show that lowest achieve ment scores in both Negro and white schools have been in schools serving districts where cultural conditions are at their worst. Highest scores have been regis tered in schools serving better neighborhoods, according to his findings. He has found, however, that Negro teachers, themselves the product of segregated school sy stems, are inferior in teaching ability in the Louisville system. While pupil integration has been undertaken across the board in the Louisville schools, there has been no integration among faculty as yet. Testimoney before the Davis subcommittee has indicated that the two-year integration program in the district schools has present ed problems of discipline as well as the difficulty of integrating pupils of widely varying scholas tic achievement. But witnesses have testified that the situation is improving. NO DEFENSE YET There has been little or no testimony so far in defense of the program and underlining its accomplishments. That side of the picture presumably will come from Superintendent Hobart M. Corning, author of the program. Meanwhile, in nearby Virginia, legislators have gone home at the close of the special session after building up what they hope is a segregation-tight legislative barrier to integration in the Old Dominion . Under this program, state funds will be denied to any school system termed not effi ciant A newly adopted state policy defines an efficient school system, as required by the state constitution, to be necessarily a segregated school system. The legislature also passed, as a companion measure, a pupil assignment plan under which pupils may be assigned to certain schools on a wide category of conditions other than race. Tuition grants are also pro vided for the use of pupils in communities where school? are closed and, in those communities where schools are operating with out state aid, for those pupils who object to attending intonated schools.
