The debate has now gone one step beyond the Pentagon to the National Security Council, composed of Pre- sident Truman, Vice President Barkley, Secretary of Defense Mar- shall, Secretary of State Acheson and Sccurity Resources Board Chair. man Stuart Symington. Inside the National Security Council, Symington is leading the fight to put most of our defense eggs in the aviation and tactical weapons basket.

Richard Simpson of Penn- ylvania, another Republican, ad ded: “Mr. President, you have tol us how to get the first $10 billion of your tax program, but you have not told us where the additional $6'2 billion is coming from. How an you get that without delving leeper into the pockets of lower- income taxpayers. How can you do without lowering their persona. cxemptions from $600 to $500 which ou apparently oppose.” “That's something your committee will have to decide,” replied Tru- man warmly. “I will make some suggestions, but it'’s your job to write the tax laws.” “Well, if you really meant it when you said that you wanted us to raise $16% billion, then we must sume that you want us to reduce exemptions of lower-bracket taxpayers in addition to increasing their regular taxes,” persisted the Pennsylvania Congressman. This is the $64 question that ev- erybody agrees will have to he E | answered eventually. It was obviow at the White House meeting, how- ever, that neither Truman nor the committee (including its Demo- cratic members) wanted to take responsibility for such a politically unpopular move. “That’s a committee matter,” re- the President. “I haven't asked for a lowering of personal exemptions.” Governor Jimmy Byrnes For years the Legislature of South Caroline quarreled with the Gov- ernor month, of South Carclina. Last however, South’ Carolina's finally met a governor may have to get along with—ex-Secretary of State, ex- Supreme Court Justice, ex-Senator, ex-War Mobilizer Jimmie Byrnes. Byrnes, who has fought plenty of battles on the Potomac, is deter- dicated.
