Extolls Spending Tax

“It treats the matter of tax collection. methods in a way that denies ahy just claim to impartiality. In dealing with the pay-as-you-go plan there is evident use of the subtle power of negative-suggestion to create a conclusion with this statement: “ ‘Perhaps the most important consideration to think about in regard to such a proposal is that it must not be used as a means of decreasing the total taxes to be paid.’ “This smacks of the administration’s arguments stil ringing in our ears. Can this still not be political propaganda? “The administration's frayed and oft repeated spending tax is dragged from the closet and earnestly extolled. It speaks of the president's $25,000 salary limitation as still a law of the land, and speaks with approval of government subsidies and other New Deal created programs which congress has written off the record by constitutional method.

Clare Luce Leaves

Morrison elected to spend his last 10 minutes in discussion of bills he had introduced on which he had been unable to persuade the committee to hold hearings. They were, he said, important bills, and the way they were being treated was “a disgrace to congress and this committee.” In the midst of his final remarks Rep. Clare Boothe Luce (R. Conn), rose and left.
