This If a Different Story
For all the heckling and egg-throwing
that greeted hint, from time to time So-
viet Deputy Premier Anastu.* Mikoyan
made some surprising headway in Amer-
ica with what some observers seem to feel
was bis “campaign" to prove the Russian
Communists are human after-all.
He said the Russians wanted to trade
with us. He said he thought his people
and ours would do better at negotiating
if there was more “yes” and less "no"
from the participants-.
He expressed admiration for many
American products and accomplishments,
and gave us credit for laying groundwork
on which Russia could build. He made it
sound as if there was not a reason i-ri the
world why we should not be the he*t of
pals.
He left New York still in an optimis-
tic mood—with no hint of the sharpness
which was visible in his farewell appear-
ance in Washington.
His final words were that he was more
hopeful for the fate of humanity and that
Americans, he was sure, want to under-
stand the Russians and want understand-
ing in return.
Again he repeated that he was enor-
mously impressed with the vitality of the
U. S. econorhy and the prosperity and
well-being of the American people.
If all this is genuine, then we have a
proposal for Mr. Mikoyan. When he goes
back home, let him take over the propa-
ganda broadcasts from Radio Moscow and
write for Pravda and Izvestia.
Should he sing these same engaging
tunes for all the world, and for the folks
at home, then we might start to believe
him. But right now it’s a bit hard to rec-
oncile his soft harmonies with the harsh
anti-American blasts from all offiical So-
viet organs and some of the less-pleasant
utterances which issued from Mikoyan’s
lips at various times during his visit.

newly served as chairman of a Council-establish-
ed commission on the humanities, and his book

sive study. He considers us not so m'ich as a peo-

Both authors note the Cold War: “The pre-
vailing anxiety in the United States today is fear
lest some trigger-happy member of our own arm-
ed forces (or of the Russian) may in a moment
of anger of bewilderment make a mistake, drop
a bomb, and set off World War III,’” says Jones.
Btft both agree that, in Griffith's words, “we may
best fight the cold war by not seeming to be for-
ever waging it.” That is, they do not blame our
trouble* or fault* on anybody but ourselves.
Griffith grants us immense energy, wealth,
generosity, organization, and numerous facilities,
but cracks down on such flaws a* a government
whose checks and b*lances let a weak man do less
than is necessary; a substitution of celebrities for
heroes; a decline in craftsmanship; a habit of
blinking at minor cheating that turns in to blink-
ing at major cheating; a knack for dissembling
wrong by calling it a right-sounding name; a fatal
misunderstanding of equality. We regard tech-
nology and increased comfort as progress but he
declares:
“Technology and comfort add nothing to our
characters, and may increase our problems while
weakening our ability to confront them."
This leads directly to Jones, champion of the
humanities. They are, he says, the things that

It’s the Big Question: Can
Inflation Be Controlled?
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
Washington (NEAi — Therms a lot of argument ahead over how
inflation will be controlled—if it can be controlled.
The administration’s program is spelled out in President Eisen-
hower's new economic report to the Congress. Rut it ,wiiI be criti-
cized by many a* inadequate for the job. It seems to pay more at-
tention to business than to consumers.
More emphasis is placed on holding down wages to curb in-
flation than to holding down prices. But rising prices are the excuse
which labor use? in demanding higher wages.
Some of the administration proposal? might even increase con-
sumer cost?. Increased gasoline taxes to help pay for the highway
construction program, increased aviation fuel taxes and further
increases in postal rates will nudge up living costs. And they will
be resisted in Congress ar.d out because of unpopularity.
Tax reform message? which the administration talks most about
are intended.to give business a greater incentive for economic ex-
pansion. There is an implied promise to cut corporation income taxes
if the economy keeps growing.
While the administration will propose a new tax schedule on
the insurance business, that too will probably be passed on to con-
sumers in higher insurance rates. Amendment of the deflation al-
lowances law will have only a minor effect on manufactured min-
eral products. It will do nothing to reduce tax allowances on petrol-
eum preserves.
Raising interest rates on veterans’ loans, federal rental and
cooperative hou.'fing projects and rural electrification loans are jus-
tified as making these programs cover their costs. But they’ll also
increase consumer costs.
The administration proposal to extend unemployment insurance
coverage to firms with fewer than four employes would add to the
44 million workers now' covered. But it will still leave about 22
million workers without coverage.
The administration is not interested in setting federal minimum
unemployment insurance standards of half pay for 2*> weeks. This
is being left to the states. Most of the states now below this standard
don’t want to raise rates.
In summary, consumers and wage earners seem to be left on
the short end of this program, although it is presented as something
to maintain price stability.
Tlie action program which is proposed to carry this out is to
appoint a couple more committees. One would be a cabinet com-
mittee on price stability and economic growth. Made up of secre-
taries of commerce, labor, etc., it would set top policy.

A definite adjournment resolu-

unprecedented in recent legisla-

only 120 days, the period for
which legislators can be paid.
Both are regarded as reflecting
disgruntlement over the defeat of
the legislative pay raise amend-

Already three new pay raise
proposals have been introduced:
(1) to pay $50 a day for 150 days,
(2) $40 a day for 120 days, $20
a day thereafter and (3) $4^00
| a year.
Present scale is $25 a day for
120 days only.

bills —and old bills dusted off—

ready for introduction are meas-
