For the Record

The vast efficiency of the “purge with a smile” which Khrushchev has been conducting within the Supreme Soviet has been demonstrated by the American Committee for Liberation. Of the 1,347 delegates to the Supreme Soviet in 1954, only 502 were “reelected” in 1956 and 1958. Roughly two- thirds of the deputies are newcomers.

Rumor has it that President Eisenhower recently lost his temper with Vice President Nixon during a Cabinet meeting because Mr. Nixon’s proposals for tax-reduction had prompted questions to the President at his press conference which he could not answer. Observers wonder whether this is a sign of growing friction between the two. . . . Veteran lawmakers in Washington think the Congress will adjourn as early as possible this year, leaving the White House to absorb the voters’ wrath over the recession. However, Congress is first expected to drop the excise tax on everything but liquor and cigarettes—a move which the Administration will only pretend to oppose.
