Y.) has teamed up with the notorious Committee for Constitutional Government (CCG) in a propa ganda drive to get the Constitu tion amended so* that no individ ual will pay more than 25 per cent of his income in taxes. This is known as the “million aire’s amendment.” The APL has pointed out that this amendment would make the rich richer and the poor poorer1 At one time 25 states had okayed the proposed change of the Con stitution Congress must call a convention to consider amending the Constitution if S2 states re quest it. Repudiate Endorsement But thanks to the APL and other liberal groups 11 states have repudiated their endorse- j ment of the proposal. So only 14 states now are on record in favor of the amendment. Who would gain the most from the “millionaire’s amendment”? Answer: Big corporations and rich people. The amendment would reduce corporate taxes by one half, from |24 billion to $12 billion. When an individual dies, he has to leave from $75,000 to $100,000 j before his estate is subject to! Federal taxes. Gifts have to be about that large before Uncle Sam taxes them. Would Help Rich So all $$00 million of the rev enue the U. 8. would lose from estate and gift taxes, if the “mil lionaire’s amendment” should be come law, would line the pockets of the rich. Every time the taxes of the, rich are reduced, the taxes of workingmen and women are in creased. Gwinn and the CCG are urg ing citizens to pressure Congress into putting the amendment over. CCG spent $672,019.90 for lobby fees during the first nine/months of this jtear. So it has plenty of money to spend to distribute its propaganda. The only way wage earners and other small- and medium-salaried person can make their wishes | known is by talking and writing to their Senators and Representa tives. If Congressmen know how most people feel about this proposal that would make the rich richer and the poor poorer, they would, think twice about it. i CHURCH OFFICIAL FLAYS MCCARTHY N»w York. — Rot. Dr. Eugene Canon Blake, New York State Clerk of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church In the U. S. A., lashed out at Sen. Joseph McCarthy (E, Wis.) December T. Bearing false witness. Dr. Blake told a luncheon meeting of armed forces chaplains, “is the whole point of MeCarthyism, and I yield to no one in opposing com munism. He criticised attacks upon per-, senal reputations and the use of Senatorial immunity in smearing individuals. NAM CHIEF FOR taft, McCarthy William J. Grede, the new pres ident of the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), said in an interview in New York, De cember 7, that: 1. He weald like te see Sen Robert A. Taft (R* Ohio) became the next President of the United States. 2. He believes Sea. Joseph Mc Carthy (R, Wis.) has “made n great ceatribetien te the Ameri can idea* But the new NAM president William Grede of Milwaukee, urged the end of price controls. However great a happiness is, there is still one greater, which is that of being worthy of the happiness enjoyed—Stanislaus Lesscynski. Why should you contribute $1 o Labor’s League for Political Education (LLPE)? That question can best be an swered by reviewing facts brought »rt at Senate subcommittee hear ing the week of November 26. Sworn testimony before the Senate Subcommittee on Privileges end Elections shows that the cam paign to reelect Sen. Robert Taft (R., Ohio) last year cost $1, 907,509.61. The campaign of Taft’s oppo nent, Ohio State Auditor Joe Fer guson, cost only $107,004.94. 19 to 1 For every dollar spent for Fer guson’s campaign $19 was spent on Taft's behalf. What was true in Ohio last year was true in almost every other state where big political campaigns were carried on. Reactionary anti-labor candi dates had millions of dollars to spend. They used this money to confuse the voters. Candidates supported by trade unionists had no money to pre pare pamphlets and radio broad casts telling their story to the people. Marts Chances for Funds In his testimony before the Senate subcommittee Ferguson pointed out that once a candidate pays he ip for organised labor it is almost impossible for him to get campaign funds. The only place a pro-labor can didate can get money is from vol untary contributions trade union ists make to groups like LLPE. If as many trade unionists as possible give $1 to LLPE, pro labor candidates will be able to toll their story to the people. COMMITTEE HEADS Georgia and South - Carolina Senators head two committees. No ather state delegation in the Sen ate has more than one chairman ship. Walter George (D., Ga.) heads the Finance group. Richard Russell (D., Ga.), Armed Serv ices; Olin Johnston <D., S. C.) Post Office and Civil Service; and Burnet Maybank (D., S. C.) Banking and Currency. COMPLIMENTS OF X FRIEND CHARLOTTE, N. C.
