By DREW PEARSON
 tus,or Robert Q. Allsn on sctivs dut,J


 WASHINGTON = Henry Morgen- thau, who has just finished suci' an excellent job of selling war bonds, is certainly jealous of ms ;ob as tax collector. He even re- scents Justice Byrnes and Judge Vin- son being too prominently III the tax picture When the final tax schedules were prepared he refused to let Economic Stabilizer Vinson see them before they went to con eress. vinson knew in a general way what they were. having sat m on the preliminary discussions. But Henry wouldn't let him nave neck at the final tax tables the night before their transmission to Congress.
 The other day Representative Bop Doughton, of North Carolina, was lunching with tired, nervous Mor- eenthau at the famous table cover ed with, silver plaques where the Allied Governments signed their debt funding agreements after the last war. AS chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, Doughton IS the key Congressman on taxes. He remarked to the Secretary of the Treasury
 I'm so glad that Fred Vinson is going to help us out with the tax bill, MT. Secretary He used to be chairman of the Ways and Means Committee and he speaks our Ian guage,"
 Morgenthau bristled.
 aVinson is not handling the tax hill" he countered. "As long as I'm Secretary of the Treasury, were fully capable of handling that"
 After luncheon, Morgenthau cour- teously offered Representative Doughton his car and chauffeur 10 take him back to the Capitol, ana Doughton asked the chauffeur to go around to the Federal Reserve Building. where he stopped to call on his old colleague Judge Vinson.
 Later he went up to the Capitol and subsequently, received phone call from the Secretary of the Treasury complaining that Dough- ton had used his car and chauffeur to call on Judge vinson.
 T didn't lend you my car to drive round there." complained the Secretary of the Treasury.
 Doughton, who will be 80 years old in three weeks, listened. After he hung up, he remarked:
 Y don't know whether I can get along with Henry. he's getting so childish in his old age.'
