World Peace Is President Eisenhower's Obieclive

By MARVIN 1.. ARROWSMITH ,many years in the army and the WASHINGTON hip) _ worldipolicy of taking only major de-

aeace still is President Eisen- hower's No. 1 goal and overriding interest after six years in office.

And as he prepares to start his seventh year. Eisenhower still doesn‘t like politics in the broad Sense —- particularly the pulling and hauling, the bargaining which are an inevitable part of any administration’s efforts to get legislation through Congress.

Nor has Eisenhower ever rel- ished his role as head of the Re- publican party. His interest in the role is likely to diminish during his remaining two years in the White House.

It would be over-simplifying to say that Eisenhower‘s dislike for politics on the one hand and his deep interest In the search for peace on the other provides full answer on how he ticks as presi- dent.

THE KEY FACTORS

But perhaps more than any- thing else they are key factors in getting at Eisenhower’s opera. tions pattern of the last six years. and in looking ahead to the rest of his term.

An aide estimates that in the last couple of years Eisenhower on most days has devoted per- haps 75 per cent of his working hours to international problems— atomic, weapon-s control, for ex- ample, and such crisis as those in the Middle East, the Far East and Berlin.

Certainly the 08-year-old presi- dent is not going to change in any drastic fashion in the next two years.

However. he is keenly aware of being the first president to be barred from a third term, and more specifically, of predictions that because he is barred from another term he can't expect to be too effectual in the next 24 months.

N0 “LAME DUCK" TAG

Eisenhower is reported deter- mined that history won’t pin any “lame duck" tag on him. He and his staff are making plans now on how to accent the positive.

But if the past six years have demonstraied.anything they have shown that Eisenhower is not a man who goes looking for a battle —notwithsta"nding his attacks on the Democrats in the recent elec- Iiou campaign.

(lcncrally he tries to avoid a

scrap—in his relations with Con-l

gross. for instance. Some of his critics contend he tries too hard.

If Ihore are any changes in the Eiscnhowcr of 1959-60 they are

likcly to be in such areas as these: ' SIaff dIrcction ~ the army-

style staff system which relieved the president of much burden while Sherman Adams was his chief aide may relieve him of even more under Wilton B. Per- sons. the new top assistant. Per- sons. like Eisenhower, spent

Chamber Of Commerce

Asks Taxation

MONTREAL (CPI — Changes in regulations governing income, excise and estate taxes and the Customs Act are recommended by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce in a brief submitted to Finance Minister Fleming and Revenue Minister Nowlan.

Details of the brief, sent by mail, were released by the cham- ber Tuesday. Bulk of the recom- mendations deal with the Income Tax Act.

The brief said that s'lnce cer- tain provinces levy their own cor- poration and personal income taxes. the federal government should seek arrangements with the provincial governments so that only one corporation or per- sonal income tax return need be filed.

It asked also that only one tax collection be made and that uni- form methods of determining taxable income and allocation of revenue be established.

WOULD ALLOW CREDITS

Regarding tax credit on divi- dends received by a non-taxable spouse, the brief said:

“When the income of a wife is over $250 but not exceeding $1,250. the excess of her income is in effect added to the income of her husband through a reduc- tion of his marital exemption. If the income of his wife includes dividends. the 20 - per - cent tax credit is lost.

“Accordingly. mcndcd . . .

it is recom— that in such cases

;the husband be allowed the 20-

peIucenlt tax credit on that por- tion of the dividends received by his wife on which he had to pay tax.

“Furthermore. it is recolm~ mended that reduction of the marital exemption be effected only when the income of the wife is over $500. instead of S ' ."

0 th e r recommendations re- garding the Income Tax Act are:

Easing of medical-expense de- ductions on personal incomes by applying the three—percent floor to incomes after deducting per- sonal exemptions; d e d u c t i o n from income the preceding year, or that of the next succeeding five years. of medical expenses exceeding the limit. for any year.

Saddle Stars Slip Down At Box Office

HOLLYWOOD (AIP) _ Quebec- Taylor Tuesday headed the list

stars, based on a poll that shows public taste switching from out- door action to sex and comedy.

For the first time in years, such tall-in-thesaddle stars as John Wayne and Gary Cooper are missing from the list.

In their customary place were such sex appeal stars as Brigitte Bardot, Frank Sinatra and Yd Brynner.

For Miss Bardot, who ranked seventh, the honor was unique as she has yet to make a Hollywood film. A spokesman for Motion Picture Herald, which conducted the poll of the theatre owners, said the French sex kitten is the first strictly foreign language star ever to make the list.

The list, in order of votes polled, is as follows: v
