Austria Is Feeling Neutrality Pinch

By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst VIENNA, Austria—Prosperous Austria is feeling the pinch of neutrality. The peace treaty restoring Austrian independence after World War II bound her to a permanent neutrality between East and West which the Soviet Union insists applies to economic as well as military fields. _ The Austrians urgently desire associate membership in the European Common Market. This, the Russians claim, would be a violation of Austrian neutrality since the Common Market organization has for its ultimate goal political as well as economic unity. The Austrians feel the Russian stand primarily is for bargaining purposes and have gone ahead with preliminary negotiations at the Common Market headquarters in Brussels. But there are other difficulties in etaoin shrdlu cmfwyp vbgqkj xz Austria’s way. Resistance To Neutrals Among the Common Market nations,. West Germany, France, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, and Belgium, there is resistance even to associate membership for the neutrals which besides Austria include Switzerland, Sweden and Finland. The position is that these neutrals, by enjoying the economic benefits of the Common Market but refusing to accept any political responsibility, would destroy the last of what hopes there are for European unity. Since both Finish and Austrian neutrality came about as result of war, their positions are the most nearly similar. In the event of associate membership in the Common Market both would be under immediate pressure from the Communist bloc for most favored nation treatment to permit Communist goods to enter under the same conditions as those applying to Common Market members. Competition Hurts Some And in this way the Communists would open the back door to penetration of the Common Market itself. Another important question for Austria is whether Austrian industry yet is able to compete

SPECIAL WASHINGTON KEPOKT * Low Earners Get Break Under New U.S. Tax Law By Rep. Carl Albert (D. Okla.) U.S. House Majority Leader I While it is occasionally being overlooked, the 1964 Federal tax i reduction bill did a lot more for consumers and the economy than reduce taxes. The bill initiated a comprehensive series of reforms that wen |

per cent of that amount or ' $3lO. But undej the 1964 tax bill, this same man will be entitled to take a standard deduction of S3OO, regardless of his gross income, plus another SIOO for each of his dependents. In the example above, the man with one dependent making $3,100 a year will now be entitled to take i S4OO deduction, instead of $3lO as under the old law. The net effect of this new deduction provision is that about 1,300,000 low-income Americans will be dropped altogether from the tax rolls. On the matter of deducting expenses for child-care, the new tax bill does a better job of meeting the needs of working parents. The law now allows a deduction of up to S9OO, providing there are two or more children being cared for, whereas this was limited to S6OO previously. * Senior citizens will be among those benefiting most from the new tax laws. As one example, the profits from sale of the family home will be wholly exempt from taxation for persons over age 65 with five years ownership. In addition, senior citizens will now be entitled to deduct their entire expenses for drugs and medicine. In the past, a deduction was allowed only to the extent it exceeded 1 per cent of income.

with the industrial goods of France and West Germany without the present high degree of protective tariffs it now enjoys. Many say it canot The Austrian textile industry, the nation’s third largest, already is being hurt by outside competition. But for the moment, Austria is in the midst of unprecedented prosperity as attested by throngs of shoppers among the sart stores along the Kartner Strasse, or the Graben, the heavy automobile traffic and the crowded new or refurbished hotels. Agriculture Suffers A harsh winter in 1962-63 hurt agriculture but industry continues to show healthy gains. Wages since 1953 have nearly doubled. Foreign investment is encouraged, although there is present concern over the economic penetration brought on by heavy investment from West Germany. Politically, an unstable coalition government has failed either to worry the Austrians or hinder the nation's progress. The real table-thumping argument is whether Archduke Otto of Hapsburg should be allowed to return as a private citizen.

badly needed and long delayed. These reforms touch everything from child-care to old-age benefits. And in every instance, these reforms will make our tax laws more equitable. Consider, for example, the standard deduc-, tion. Under the old law individuals could take either a standard deduction of 10 per cent of* adjusted gross income or could take itemized deductions on the long tax form. i This meant that if a man with one dependent was making $3,100 a year, his standard deduction under the old law could never exceed 10

The new tax laws also provide for tax relief when a worker moves at least 20 miles to take a new job. He will now be able to deduct the cost of transport- 1 ing his household goods to the new location as well as deducting the travel expenses of his family. With Americans on the move, this new provision was needed and should be helpful. Another group of taxpayers who will be aided by the 1964 bill are those whose prosperous years alternate with lean years. A good example is an author who publishes a best seller one year and makes $50,000 for that year. The next year, his income may drop to $5,000. The new law allows the author, and others with widely fluctuating income, to average their income over a five-year period. This will mean a fairer tax treatment. But the 1964 tax bill is not simply a relief measure. It tightens yp several areas where there have been abuses in the past. For example, the ceiling on tax-free earnings for those living abroad has been lowered SIO,OOO, from $35,000 to $25,000. Though neither as dramatit nor as important as the $11.5 billion reduction in Federal income taxes, these and other" reforms are a vital part of the 1964 tax bill. They will -relieve inequitable burdens and close unwarranted bof hobs.
