They favor a 1 percent tax with existing taxes retained, while city officials push for a 2 percent levy. A county sales tax is proposed as a broader, wiser solution, with towns expected to benefit more than they contribute.

The Soviets control all information and broadcast propaganda, making Voice of America only a partial influence. A 1939 French work cited, with remarks by General Bedell Smith, notes genuine differences in Russian society and political development.
