‘Justice Dept.,

U.S. Aids Face Rough Charges

By Seripps-Howard. Newspapers WASHINGTON, Jan. 5—Sensational charges that Justice Department and United States attorneys have tried to block successful prosecution of criminals may come out in King Committee's California hearings,

Witnesses may testify:

That tax case against Lou Wolcher, San Francisco pinball machine distributor and black marketeer, “got stuck” in the Justice Department tax division until the recent expose. It's a $953,151 case. That another case—involving a prominent politician —was pigeon-holed for a year in the U. S. attorney's office; was finally tried when outside pressure got hot, but in a way that resulted in acquittal. That grand juries were pressured, investigated, and intimidated by Washington and San Francisco Justice Department officials to prevent questioning on tax matters involving prominent citizens. Note: A special prosecutor is to be sent from Wash-

ington for trial of former Internal Revenue Collector James Smyth and others indicted with him. An outside trial judge also may be sent in. Most federal judges in northern California were endorsed by political machine of which Mr. Smyth has long been part. Judge Oliver Carter—one of them —already has disqualified himself from preliminary proceedings. n = » BUT INTERNAL REVENUE may try to share the tlight a in the Western probe. It's planning to move into the gamblers’ national redoubt —_Nevada—to check on unreported incomes, unpaid taxes. Outlook is good for getting yevidence enough to cause "trouble for big Eastern rackgt figures as well as Westen ones. 1f the King Committee stays out of Nevada—as it's almost sure to do—Internal Revenue may strike richer pay dirt; it may get it into the open first. The King Committee seszions have been postponed until after the Republican Na{ional Committee, scheduled te. meet in San Francisco Jan. 17, gets out of town. » ” » THE KING -COMMITTEE— ar bureau—may find huge, interstate baseball book operation running in Southern California if they take a long, hard look. Supposed head of the operation has had no publicity, has never been arrested.

‘Peace’ May Be

DOPE here is that Democrats want to pitch their campaign on a ‘peace and prosperity” basis; that Vice Presi- * dent ‘Barkley carried a personal message from President Truman to Tokyo and Korea, stressing urgency of ending the conflict before March.

Communists in Indo - China and Burma. Observers here think Vishinsky's charge that U. 8. is transporting Chinese Nationalist troops to those areas was a tip-off. It's routine Communist technique to charge. other nations with things they plan to do.

Budget to Be Late

PRESIDENT'S budget will be later than ever before in going ‘to Congress. Tentative date is now Jam 21. ; Delay is due to controversy over size of military budget. The President will ‘decide this week-end. The military budget will be cut—that's definite. Question is, how much. The final figure must be based on a guess as to Korea, other trouble spots; on danger of general war. Best guess is that. budget will propose spending $75-385 billion: that military spending will run $30-$55 billion. Minimum for national security programs -— atomic energy, stockpiling, foreign ald, is $5 billion. It takes another $10 billion for interest on national debt, veterans benefits, and $10 billion for operating ordinary departments of government— post office, ete. The Defense Department can spend more than this next year, even if budget is cut. It has about $70 billion from past appropriations, obligated against future deliveries, but not yet spent.

Can Stop Gambling

LOCAL POLICE who really want to stop gambling in their communities can do so with help of the new tax law, .It requires- the gambler’'s $50 tax stamp to carry hame and ad-

dress of gambler purchasing it. Gamblers giving false names and addresses (some have tried it) can be fined $10,000 and given five-year _

prison- terms. Also, the new law requires gamblers to pay excise tax of 10 per cent of their gross business each year. These returns are open to police inspection at offices of Internal evenue collectors. Internal Revenue says 6428 gamblers-have bought stamps.

Names are available for pub- °

lic inspection. Local collectors have been told to give out gambling tax payment figures to police. Amounts will put cities on notice that gambling is a big business (though filJegal in most states). The first gambler to pay in Cleveland area forked over $16,663 for November. P@yment' indicates his gross for the month was around $166,000, d

Deception to Help?

SUCCESS of Truman Churchill talks may depend on

Mr. Truman's “skill in mild deception, Mr. Churchill - is - sensitive

about increasing deafness, He hates to ask persons to repeat, and often misunderstands. And he’s insulted if the other fellow shouts at him.

President Truman's cue is to remember his guest is hard of hearing, and appear not to know it. He's en warned to look directly at the Prime Minister, speak distinctly, but not too loudly.

Wanted to Speak

BEN FAIRLESS, president of U. 8S. Steel Corp, wanted to accept that invitation from the Steel Workers’ Union ‘to address them at Atlantie City. The challenge appealed to his sporting instincts, and he thought he could take care of himself. But his directors overruled him.

World Report—

Winnie Comes to Washington a Mystery Man;

Trip Not to Sy Watch With Truman

By FRANK N. WIDNER

News Editor of The Times (Compiled from the wirg service.)

T MAY be hard to conceive, but Winston Churchill came to Washington today as something of a mystery man. *- Officials generally know the topics the British Prime Minister avants to discuss with President Truman-—and these cover the waterfront, But they do not know precisely what his position may be on many of the subjects ranging from atomic energy to Iran. These officials believe that unlike the wartime ‘meetings, few decisions need to be made by Mr, Churchill .and : the President and these of a relatively minor nature. They also believe that the British ‘government attitude on global issues differs little today from what it was under the Labor government. Different Estimate? But: because Mr. Churchill's government has scarcely had time to get into the heart of

-all foreign matters during its.

short time_ in. office, they're not sure that -the old gentleman may not have a slightly lifferent estimate of these

- matters,

They're inclined to take Mr, Churchill's purpose on his own word—‘‘to reach a good understanding of each other's point of view over the whole field.” But it is realized in Wash-

. ington that Mr. Churchill has

come to the U. S. to do more than synchronize his watch with President Truman: or to share a glass of brandy. His flair for the grand design is also well known, as is his talent for improvising without regard for the limitations of an agenda. How TU. S. Stands So they are, despite reports to. the contrary, anxious. to hear what's’ on Mr. Churchill's mind, in the global sphere as well as on the strictly AngloAmerican level. And they're prepared with American ‘position papers’-— how this government stands — on those farflung topics certain to be discussed. Two decisions likely to be made concern the infantry rifile=the British .28 caliber vs. the American .30 caliber—and the question of a North Atlantic naval command. Washington officials will want to know if Mr. Churchill has a different slant on Premier Mohammed Mossadegh of Iran, a slant which under the Labor government differed from that Washington held. The British have felt that Mossadegh's presence is the obstacle to a solution of the oil dispute. The U. 8. position is that if Mossadegh is over-

‘thrown or beaten in Persia, his

successor might be worse. Compare Views President Truman, these officials hold, willvant to compare the A ican views with Mr. Churgifill’s on a host of broader-ghuged issues—Egypt and the Middle East command; the European army prospects and the British role, if any, therein; the Far East, with emphasis on Southeast Asia; Jermany's part in western defense. Most of these matters involve many nations, it is emphasized and do not belong exclusively in the AngloAmerican domain as was largely the case in World War 11 Mr. Churchill has indicated

he may want to dicker for a

They'll Have Plenty to Talk About

Prime Minister Winston Churchill and President Truman probably won't have to resort to “small talk” at their meeting in Washington for their first “Big

"”

Two

conferences since Churchill regained power in

Britain. There are plenty of big subjects on the agenda of the White House meetings. Illustrated here (above) are some of the major topics to be explored by the two government chiefs and their top-level aides and ad-

visers. NEW YORK, Jan. 5—Two Irish-American groups pick-

eted the arrival of Prime Minister Winston Churchill today. More than 200 pickets marched in front of the BrookIlvn Army Base, where Mr. Churchill landed. Both the “Irish - American Minute Men of 1949” and the “United Irish Jounties Association” claimed they were represented in the line. . Another group marched at the midtown dock of the liner Queen Mary. Among the signs were: Churchill shoots the but hits no Reds.” “Churchill is here to collect — have you got your taxes paid?” “Winnie—grab all you can now—Harry and Dean won't be here when you come back.”

bull,

discount . reports that Mr. Churchill wants assurances that no bombers will leave

England on attack missions without British knowledge and approval. They say the British already have such assurances. More likely, Mr. Churchill

will point dut that Britain, be-

cause it is supplying bases for such attacks and is thus vulnerable, should have a greater share generally in atomic development. And underlying all the talks, it is agreed, will be Britain's acute economic condition. Though the actual negotiations on aid Britain will need

© to withstand rearmament and

remain solvent will be done by others; ‘the problem is so vital that it is certain to be a part of the overall discussion, One of the first hurdles facing the meeting is to disprove publicly the impression the British have gained that somehody in high places here wanted to ‘‘sabotage” the talks. ‘Bad Manners’

British sources in Washington claimed to have detected a campaign of sorts in which varioug departments leaked information of what Mr, Churchill was expected to denand and how he wasn't goto get it, etc., creating an unwholesome and unfriendly atmosphere. There also were the reports that Mr. Churchill was an un-

wanted guest at the White House. All of this was duly noted in London papers, with the result that American officials have been placed in the, posi-

tion of having to appear ef-

fusively delighted by Mr. Churchill's presence to avoid an admission of “national bad manners.”

New Delhi -

The United States agreed today to contribute $50 million this year to aid I'ndfa, with special emphasis on raising food for this country’'s teeming population of 360 million, United States Ambassador Chester Bowles -a nd Mr. Bowles Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru signed the agreement, under which India will match America’s $50 million with an

Premier Rene Pleven today boldly staked the life of his five-months-old right-of-cen-ter government on his demands for a “realigtic budget.” The premier called for a series of eight confidence votes on Monday on his program for a French budget supported by increased taxes and sharp economies ‘in the governmentowned rallways and in social services. His opponents branded the move “political suicide,” and even his supporters doubted that the premier and his government will survive this latest, in a series of almost continuous crises, ; Mr. Pleven called for ‘the
