"As for Senator McKellar's pa

famous Doodle Book printed by
McKellar at Government expense
during the early days of the New
Deal. 1t listed every Federal job
not on civil service and had a wide
sale among the politicoS.
Later in 1897 McKellar had COM
piled a new list of patronage pos
sibilities including $4,000 clerks,
typists, stenographers and other
Office employees of the extension
service of the Department of Agri-
culture.
Not content even with this, he
demanded of DR.. c. w. Warburton,
chief of the extension service, the
record of all its cooperating en-
ployes so that not one minute
patronage possibility could escape
him. Over protestations of Sena-
tors OMahoney of wyoming and

Pearson S Charge
OF Knife-Drawinq
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat, of
Tennessee yesterday called Drew
Pearson, columnist, "natural-born
liar, day-and-night liar" for say
ing he once drew a knife and
threatened colleague on the Sem
ate floor. E2
Il never pulled a knife on any one
in my life" the 75-year-old Tennes-
sean shouted to the Senate.
Mr.. Pearson, who made the
statement in his column yesterday
morning, promptly reiterated it.
"The Senator McKellar incident
on the Senate floor took place with
the late Senator Cobeland of New
York Mr.. Pearson said in q state
ment. Senator Bennett Clark of
Missouri told me at the time that
he had grabbed Senator McKellar's
arm and persuaded him to leave the
floor.
Senator McKellar had a clasp
knife in his hand which he pulled
from his side-coat pocket. The in
cident was hushed up"
Asked about Nj. Pearson's state
ment, Senator Clark told reporters:
ANY statement about Senator
McKellar pulling knife is abso-
lutely untrue. There was q prospect
of difficulty between Senator Nc
Kellar and Senator Copeland, and
I did step in between them. Senator
McKellar had no knife in his hand.
AS to whether he had knife in his
pocket do not know"
Engaged in Controversy.
(Senators Mcclellan and Copeland
engaged in heated exchange on
the Senate floor in April, 1898, and
Senator McKellar invited Senator
Copeland to settle the matter with
fists. Other Senators took hold of
Senator McKellar by the arms and
pulled him back
MIR. Pearson,s column said Senator
McKellar was well known for two
things, "his temper and his patron
age" and referred two of the Sen
ator's brothers as being on the
Federal payroll.
Recalling Mr.. Pearson's reference
to H. G. McKellar, postmaster at
Memphis, the Senator said his
brother worked his way up in the
post office over period of nearly
10 years, as a Civil Service employe,
becoming assistant postmaster under
Republican administrations.
The Senator referred to another
brother, Don w. McKellar, his sec
retary, as zone of the best secre-
taries on Capitol Hill" and said he
wouldn't swap him for any one. 81

METAL MINES OUTPUT

The Bureau of Mines discloses some in
teresting figures on the nations output
from metals mines for 1943 California's
share is announced as 14S,000 ounces of
fine gold $4,000 ounces Of fine silver;
17,950,000 pounds of copper; 11,650,00O
pounds of lead and 3,750,000 pounds of
zinc The report shows a sweeping de-
crease in gold and silver production and
huge increases in the other metals. Gold
output fell to its lowest point since 1848.
All western metals mining states have
the same record to show, due to wartime
restrictions placed on mining gold and
silver, including taking miners from these
workings to labor in coal mines.
Arizona leads in copper production

NEW TAX MEASURE
HAUNTS CONGRESS

Congress swung into action on the holi-
day-adiourned 18th session with several
major issues to be fought out. Among
these is the controversial tax measure.
In his message to congress, the President
flatly turned thumbs down on the less
than three-billion bill now before the
lawmakers. The Chief Executives dec
laration that the amount proposed Is
wholly inadequate failed to make any
impression on Chairman Doughton of
the House Ways and Means committee,
who immediately called his committee
together for consideration OF the too
small" bill
While Congress rested over holidays
Rep. Knutson openly demanded that the
revenue bureau be separated entirely
from the treasury department. This de-
mand stems to the antagOnism which de-
veloped in the house committee hearings
on the tax bill when Secretary Morgen-
thau appeared to argue for his 10 billion
recommendations. Words were not mine
ed at that time and signs of rebellion
against the treasury department "dictat-
ing tax measures" became more than an
argument In his declaration Knutson
said he would ask the Ways and Means
Committee, of which he is a minority
member to sponsor bill to set the bu-
reau up as a separate agency, strong,
competent and independent to admins
ter the tax laws passed by congress-
The Minnesota representative went on
to say "it has been customary thing for
the secretary of the treasury and his
politically minded subordinates to de-
mand this or that in the way of tax leg
islation and to use the extensive admins
tration propaganda facilities in an effort
to achieve the desired end-even after a
majority in congress has rejected his
proposals.
Morgenthau shrugged off Knutson's
blast by saying that "'This is 1914 mean
ing an election year.
And so the tax measure enters a round
that will be highly interesting. 1t is not
unlikely in the scrimmage the paying
public will be counted out
