Washington Calling— Democrats Worry

‘Over Scandals

; - In Election: Year By Scripps-Howard Newspapers ' * WASHINGTON, Nov. 10—Administration faces an-

other year of probes into corruption—election year. It’s ominous news for Democrats, on top of this week's

defeat at polls.

~ King Committee on Internal Revenue has money to carry on through 1952, and work enough mapped out :o last that long. And Republicans will find ways to keep Senate's investigating subcommittee busy. Scandals already uncovered get credit for some of

this week's Republican victories.

Only Democratic

triumph came in Philadelphia where turn-the-rascals-out drive hit long-entrenched Republican machine. Look for administration to make more tries at choking off investigation of Internal Revenue and Justice Department. They won't succeed. Material already gathered by King committee , is known to minority members, and others, can’t bx

suppressed for long. Vanishing Cases

KING COMMITTEE has started asking sharp questions about disappearance of tax fraud ‘cases. Out of some 3000 apparent frauds turned up each year by revenue bureau's special agents, only a few hundred get to court. Committee has found that after a fraud case is worked up, it’s reviewed 16 times. Each time, officials of Internal Revenue or Justice Department decide whether to drop the case or carry it on. Some committee members think too many cases are dropped; that per cent to 97 per cent record of convictions—about which Justice Department boasts —actually means that only airtight cases are tried; that many others ought to go before juries. Note: Look for King committee to pay more attention, in next phase of its work, to both beginning and end of tax fraud cases. Members want to find out: Whether Justice Department prosecutors make deals with defendants to get them to plead guilty or to offer no defense. Whether reviewing officials in internal revenue get together with attorneys for delinquent tax-payers, agree on a compromise tax payment, and split the difference.

= - » Double Check SENATE investigating subcommittee is going further in its check on activities and connections of Charles E. Shaver, who has just resigned as counsel of Senate Small Business Committee. It wants to know what tie— if any—there was between Shaver and William Boyle, former Democratic national chairman, Chase and Williams, Washington law firm with which Shaver has been associated, represented Boyle when he appeared before investigating committee to explain his connection with American Lithofold Corp, and other activities. Shaver was hired for Small Business Committee post by Chaifman Sparkman (D. Ala.), who has worked closely with Democratic National Committee,

SAME CONGRESS which is investigating favoritism to taxpayers may have shown a little favoritism {tself, in latest tax bill It included clause permitting capital gains treatment for sums received when a former employee sells back to a former employer any rights he holds to receive future profits. Tax experts say trick clause could help only two or three persons in U. 8. One of thém is Louis B. Mayer, whose employment with Metro-Goldwyn has just expired, but who is entitled to get 10 per cent of net profit from all pictures made by the company from 1924 until last August. Clause says employee must have been with a company 20 years, must have had profit rights 12 years, must be entitled to profits for at least five years after retirement. Mayer meets all require-

® = = Indiana Plan MORE about elections: Campaign which has national GOP leaders talking is that in Indiana. Republicans there, led by Sen. Willlam E. Jenner, made municipal fights directly on “Trumanism” instead of local issues. They won in all big Hoosier cities except Gary. Some leaders here think 1952 battle should be waged that way, nationwide, Don’t write off loss of Phila. delphia as purely local, GOP is deeply worried because Demoerats have taken over city government machinery. Philadelphia vote is big; might determine who gets all Pennsylvania’s electorial votes if presi. dential race next year is close,

FAMILY MEAT BILL is not expected to go up in next few months, despite OPS decision to raise ceilings on some lamb and veal cuts. Reason is there's more pork and beef in the shops.

Race. Papers Slump PRIME TEST of the way new tax law has cracked down on bookmakers: Sale of racing papers is off 60 per cent in Washington, though there's a race meet on in nearby Baltimore.

Return Engagement?

JAPAN'S PREMIER YOSHIDA wants to send Adm. Kichisaburo Nomura back to Washington as ambassador when country regains sovereignty. Nomura was ambassador here in 1941 at time of Pearl Harbor attack. He's still on “purge” lists, But since war's end, Nomura’s been writing pro-West-ern articles for Japanese papers, magazines, and occupation authorities have looked the, other way. If Nomura's still on purge list when time comes, choice lies among Juji Matsumoto, former managing editor of Domei News Agency; Katsuo Okazaki, chief cabinet secretary, and Japanese rubber and power company execu-

Question Dropped From Agenda; ‘Replaced by ‘Peace Packages”

Compiled From the Wire Services Russia was defeated in another attempt to get Communist China into the United Nations. . A Soviet proposal to place the admission of Red China on the agenda of the sixth United Nations Gen-

eral Assembly in Paris was voted down 11 to, 2 in the

Assembly Steering Committee. -

Russia and Poland voted for Red China. Yugoslavia abstained. It was Russia’s fourth major ‘defeat before the Sixth Assembly in two days on agenda, questions and the second time this past week thatgSoviet efforts in behalf of Communist China have been rejected. The vote, which postpones the question of Red China's admission until the next General Assembly, came on a Siamese resolution to remove the question from further debate while the in Paris. . At the same time, a British spokesman disclosed that Winston Churchill’s new Conservative government intends to continue British recognition of Communist China, a policy begun by the Socialists.

Votes With Malik

It was understood that Britain would have abstained on a direct vote for Red China's admission to the United Nations. Britain, however, voted for the Siamese resolution. Soviet Delegate Jacob Malik charged the United States with “intolerable inequity” for opposing the admission of Red China. He said the American position constituted a “criminal” act against the Chinese people. “United States policy toward China constitutes a cynical flouting of the United Nations and the United Nations charter” he said. “The Chinese people—600 million of /them— will never forget this offensive action by the United States in continuing to support the decayed regime of the Kuomintang (Nationalists, a small clique of bankrupt reactionaries sheltered behind American guns in Formosa.” American Delegate Warren Austin, in opposing renewal of the Chinese question at this assembly, said that the Russian proposal has been “considered and rejected nearly 80 times in various United Nations organs.”

Raise Arms Question

After rejecting the Soviet proposal, the steering committee went ahead to add the Big Three disarmament plan

and Russia's “peace package” -

to the agenda. The Soviet plan includes the Korean question and a projected world disarmament conference. The United States delegation disclosed that it will oppose any move to transfer the Korean military armistice talks to the United Nations in Paris. : The Communist press said that was what Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky was suggesting in his Thursday speech to the assembly. The American position is that military negotiations must be conducted by military men in a military setting—Korea—and once a ceasefire and armistice is agreed on, the negotiations for a political settlement should come to the United Nations.

Egypt | EGYPTIAN terrorists have stabbed three British soldiers in a new flareup of violence in the tense Suez Canal zone city of Ismailia, British authorities, said. British intelligence sources said it was believed that at least one of the soldiers ‘was wounded seriously. The attack occurred in a street in the Arab quarters of Ismailia, United Press Correspondent Peter Webb reported from‘the canal zone, The attack came as Egyptian terrorists threatened to send British soldiers home-~in coffins it they fdil to get out of the disputed area.

Syria ~THE Syrian government collapsed because of a bitter dispute between Its premier and foreign minister on participation in a west-sponsored defense pact for the Middle East,

Premier Hasan El Hakim,

an independent who formed a

coalition government Aug. 10, resigned with a blast at Foreign Minister Fayid Atassi for speaking against the Middle East plan without cabinet approval.

Middle East

THE new Allied call for a Mid-Eastern defense command is a bold move to prevent the Egyptian boycott from spreading to the rest of the Arab world, U. 8. officials revealed. Cairo, which turned down the program last month, has

~ been campaigning to get the

Arab League to. follow suit to show that it supports Egyptian efforts to throw the British out of the Suez Canal zone. The Aral nations, sensing the advantages in joining an Allied - backed Mid - Eastern pact, have been slow to follow Egypt's lead even though they

sympathize with the ‘fight

against Britain. The United States, Britain, France and Turkey issued the new declaration, officials said, in an effort to exploit this «split and make the command system possible without Egypt.

Danish civil defense workers will wear American war surplus steel helmets bought in Hong Kong from a British firm which intended to sell them to the Chinese before the trade embargo against the Reds went into effect, it was made known.

Germany

A GROUP OF former Nazi leaders have pledged anew their loyalty to “the immortal Fuehrer” on the 28th anniversary of Hitler's vrst effort to seize power, according to a West German government official, He said the Nazis, dressed in full Hitlerite uniforms, made the solemn pledge in a series of clandestine meetings in several homes of Berlin's British sector. In one home, 18 ex-Nazis gathered under the swastika to mourn for their comrades who fell in Hitler g beerhall putsch in Munich. German police denied any such meetings had been held.

South Africa

THE Department of External Affairs announced that the government had signed an agreement with the United States for supplies of military equipment.

Iran

SEVERAL hundred Commu-nist-led student pickets prevented the reopening of Tehran University and the issue was rushed before the Iranian senate. The leftist students—followers of the outlawed Communist Tudeh Party—forced the university to shut down last week. They picketed the university gates and threatened a student strike unless eight expelled student members were reinstated.

THE Romanian Communist government set up the title “heroine mother” and a gold medal award for mothers of at least 10 children. A silver medal of “maternal glory” in three degrees was established for mothers of nine, eight and seven children respectively. Mothers of six children will get a silver medal and mothers of five will, get a bronze one—but no titles.

Kashmir THE United Nations Security Council voted to give its mediator in Kashmir, Dr. Frank Graham of the United States, six more weeks to try for Indian-Pakistan agreement on a plebiscite and demilitarization of the disputed zone. A British - American resolution was adopted 9 to 0. India and the Soviet Union abstained.

Meats Reported Scarce in Russia Under Stalin

By WILLIAM H. STONEMAN PARIS, Nov. 10 (CDN) — The old Soviet line that ‘“‘conditions may not be so good but you ought to have seen them before the revolution” has now been blasted by no less an authority than the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe. According to this expert authority, which has often been accused of taking a pro-Soviet line, the peoples of the Soviet Union have a less satisfactory diet today than they did before World War I. “On balance,” says the commission in its report for the second quarter of 1951, “it seems clear that the amount of one Ha ie Hap eE ps or An con= sumption in the Soviet. :

is now somewhat greater per capita than in the same area before the first world war. : n ” ~ “BUT THIS increase has been made possible in part by the relatively low level of livestock numbers over the last 20 years and has had as its apparent counterpart some decline in the per capita consumption of animal. produce.” Translated into plain English this means what every adult Russian knows. Proteins and animal fats, so essential to life in cold climates, are infinitely scarcer than they were before Lenin and Trotzky rescued the Russians from their Czarist oppressors. One of the bitterest complaints of the Russian peasant since collectivization has been

his lack of “sala,” the lard

which used to serve. him as butter and to-enrich-his soup: To make up for fats and proteins the average Russian may have gotten a little more bread or a few more potatoes to eat. In Western Europe, the same report says, the diet has greatly improved “during the last 40 years.

least up to the second World War,

Livestock numbers more or less kept pace with the rise in population up to that time; considerable progress w a s made in milk yields in a number of western European countries and imports of livestock produce increased substantially.. “Given the rise in population since the second world war in relation both to livestock numbers and to imports there seems reason to suppose that

He'll Decline

By THE TIMES STAFF HIGH POINT of Mayor-elect Alex Clark's “offers™ for places in the new GOP City Hall cabinet Jan. 1 will -: be to his Democratic rival—Mayor Bayt. . Inside dope from sources close to Mr. Clark is that one of first invitations of new Mayor will be to retiring chief executive to serve as a minority member of one of the important municipal boards. \ ~ It will be made as gesture of “good will” and respect held by rival GOP leaders for defeated Mayor. However, Mayor Bayt is expected to decline any such offer and retire to private life in law practice or post connected with legal work. nt Speculations on possible appointments to key City Hall cabinet posts continue purely guessing game up to week-end as Mayor-elect Clark has been out of town.
