Dean Doyle Fears
TotoIitorionism
In u. S. Minds

Fear that Americans might de-
velop the totalitarian way of think
ing-of which intolerance is one of
the first Signs-waS expressed by
Dean Henry Grattan Doyle oi
George Washington University in a
speech before the Rotary Club here
yesterday. III
His topic was "The Totalitarian
Mind" and he said:
THE groundwork for totalitarian
thinking is being laid in many ways.
Observation-Disclosures of racial
and religious prejudice-is one ex-
ample of the workings of totai-
tartan mind"
American "Red baiters," he said,
play into the hands of those they
seek to oppose by giving them pub
licity.
Dean Doyle charged that Amer
leans were too intolerant of the way
other peoples live, giving as an ex-
ample the attitude of citizens of this
country who want to teach the
South Americans "our way of 1iv-
ing" instead of appreciating the
Latins' own way of life.
He was critical of the activities
of youth" groups who set them
selves up as special class with a
capital Y" Instead of encouraging
these youngsters to pop off," he
suggested that parents apply little
old-fashioned discipline.

fore his death, called at his house

if he wanted anything. Mr.. Thomas

cluded L. A Carruthers, who has
long been active in the Federation
! of Citizens Associations, and Evan
S. Tucker, veteran president of the
Northeast Citizens Association.
AS a prelude to the meeting, Sem
ators Overton and Holman, Repub-
lican, of Oregon engaged in an in
formal discussion at the committee
table over the prevailing real estate
tax rate here, the assessment base
and the tax burden of local prop
erty owners.
ID. C. Tax Load Called Average.
Senator Overton informed Senator
Holman that the adoption of his
formula would not mean a lower
ing of the real estate tax rate, and
at the same time pointed out that
Washington has an average tax load
in comparison with II other cities
of comparable size.
Later, Senator Overton called to
the stand Chester E. Rightor, chief
statistician of the Division of State
and Local Governments of the Gen.
sus Bureau, who explained he made
a study of the tax burden of the II
cities in 1899, and found that Wash
ington ranked sixth on the list with
respect to the tax burden, and third
from the highest in cost of opera
ton and maintenance of general de-
partments of the municipality.
There will be no further Joint
meetings between the Fiscal Affairs
subcommittee of the Senate and
House District committees. Senator
Overton and Representative Hunter
both plan to conduct independent
hearings in the future, at which
representative of civic and business
organizations interested in the fiscal
relations formula will be given an
opportunity to express their views.
