There is a strong demand that working mothers be given special j income tax deductions for house- hold help. Parents want to deduct the cost of high education for their children; working people , want greater expense deductions; business witnesses have pointed to many tax laws which hamper growth of business, and thus limit lim-it jobs; stockholders are now subject to double taxation. Their earnings are taxed in the hands of the corporation, and they also pay on dividends. Business points to the inadequacy inade-quacy of depreciation and research re-search deductions. Cost of replacing replac-ing facilities often far exceeds de preciation allowed. This is a check on modernization and ex pansion. Some groups may get relief.

All this emphasizes the ity of further cuts in federal ov. penditures. And. even if the bud get is balanced, many groups believe be-lieve that a straight reduction of existing tax rates should take precedence pre-cedence over piecemeal wnittl-ing wnittl-ing away at inequities. Clsoely linked with future tax reductions is the work of the new Commission on Inter-Governmental Relations, which will seek means of reducing Big Federal Government by turning back functions to states, local bodies and to the people themselves. President Eisenhower chose Clarence Manion, former Dean of Notre Dame Law School, to head the Commission. In makin ihis appointment, it is evident that Mr. Eisenhower expects the Commis sion to produce results and not merely cover up problems. Mr. Eisenhower also has shown he expects results in appointing Clarence B. Randall, chairman of Inland Steel Corporation, as chair man of the Commission of Foreign Economic Policy. Bureaucratic agencies die hard, but sometimes they do pass away. Congress recently voted to liquid ate the Puerto Rico Reconstruction Reconstruc-tion Commission.
