Revolt In Westport

The applause for Miss Vivien KellemS' one-woman revolt may be temperate, but the feelings that prompted it will evoke lot of sympathetic understanding. Miss Kellems, as you probably read, has re- fused to pay her income tax
 Having tossed her ledgers into corner and applied cold cloth to her account ants fevered brow, she leaped forth from her small manufacturing plant in Vest port, Conn, with a mighty war whoop She made a speech out in Kansas City in which she shattered the serenity of a luncheon club meeting by melting it's members to fiscal riot.
 Miss Kellems claims that "the govern ment" is trying to destroy private busi- ness after the war by refusal to allow war-goods producers to put aside reserves for reconversion. She says that her plant is manufacturing war goods 100 per cent, but that if she paid her December 15 tax she would have to go out of business. She claims that the scheme behind distorted taxes and renegotiation" is to let govern ment finance and therefore control, all surviving postwar business. She thinks the scheme is deliberate" and will carry us right into the abyss of communism" !"
 We'll Miss KellemS has a legitimate kick on the absence of reconversion re- serves. There are congressional plans afoot, which the Treasury and some con- gressmen object to, that would allow pro- ducers to put aside 20 per cent of current income for such fund. The Treasury has plan, also the target of congress ional objection, which would allow firm to anticipate costs of reconverSion, dis missal wages, deferred maintenance, and so en, and deduct them from present high taxes rather than possible lower post war schedule.
 Miss Kellems, two years ago, coveted Republican seat in Congress and might have got it, if the comedy and celebrated Clare Boothe Luce hadn't had similar ambition at the same time and in the same congressional district And since she got that close, Miss Kellems should know that it is Congress- and not "the government" (by which she apparently means the administration that makes the tax laws.
 It is probably true that Congress has fiddled around with this problem too long. But if Miss Kellems thinks that the 7eth Congress is preponderently made up of men who favor government control of business and the death of private enter prise, and who are carrying us right into the abyss of communism" she has gained an impression that most of us have missed.

Soldiers and Politics

One of the most remarkable contribu- tionS to congressional thought on the subject of votes for soldires has been that offered by Representative Frances P. Bol- ton, an Ohio Republican. And when we single Mrs. Bolton out for special men, tion, it is with the full knowledge that she gained this distinction over some pretty strange and wonderful debate that this subject has already produced on Capitol Hill. The Cleveland congress- woman has said that she "favors the prin- ciple of vote for soldiers" But the diff cultieS she discovers in it's practical appli- cation seem to leave her in a WhatS-the- use frame of mind AS a proof of the futility of it all she puts forth two argu ments: First, she says, "the information given them (Service men and WOmen) is not such that would make for an informed vote" This she explained with the state ment that overseas newspapers, Stars and Stripes and Tank, are put out by the administration.
 Then, as clincher, she adds that "of my two sons in service, one is not inter- ested in voting and the other could not be reached for his opinion"
 If the overseas service papers are run by the administration, then so is the Army For these two excellent publica- tionS are edited, staffed and managed by Army men. Their editorial policy is Army policy. True, their pages are not filled with stories of inter and intra- experimental strife in Washington. But 4n the other hand they are not biased in nAvor of the administrators domestic policies. They are periodicals for soldiers, filled with the stuff that soldiers want to read. AS for the implication that the Army is political offShoot of the admin iStration, it might be noted that congress sional efforts to prove that Ga movement, incidentally, in which Mrs. Bolton took no part) proved dull and dismal flop.
 Mrs. Bottoms point that one of her sons is mot interested in voting" seems more of sad commentary upon the civic edu- cation of the son of a political household than anything else. It is doubtful that his attitude is typical of the millions of voting-age men and women in service. There are numerous practical problems to be solved in the soldier vote question, but they will not be solved by the negative, partisan attitude implicit in Mrs. Bottoms statements. The question must be settled by fair, intelligent, nonpartisan states manShip

How To Get What You Want

What is this mysterious ingredient that makes us like one cake, or soup, or auto mobile better than another - regardless of the fact that according to the label, competing articles are made of the same things? One manufacturer advertiseS: 'The priceless ingredient of any product is the honor and integrity of the maker" That seems to be the right answer.
 That is why the movement that's afoot to eliminate trade marks leaves us cold. Supposedly, some new government-super- vised method of specifications would guarantee us better value for our money. We don't believe it. We think that man. ufacturers who did not have to identify their products with their trade mark could easily slip one over on us because with no trade mark to tell us, we wouldn't know whom to blame.
 Contrariwise, we know that when we ask for an article by brand name or trade mark, we are going to get that priceless ingredient" that satisfies us. We wouldn't know how to describe the taste we like about a certain tomato Soup-We just know we like that particular taste and the simple way to be sure of getting it is to ask for that tomato soup.

ON ROME'S DOORSTEP
(New York Sun)


 It is obvious from early reports Of the landings by the Fifth Army on the beaches southwest of Rome that this is an instance in which AL lied StrategiStS have outboxed the enemy. To repel the frontal attack on the Gustav and Hitler lines, Mar shal Kesselring seems to have low cred his right and it is there the men under Lieutenant General Mark Clark have landed an effective wal Top. Friends strategists have been wondering why some such leap frog operation had not been put into effect before this.
 Tn the earlier stages of the Italian operation there seems little doubt that the Germans were set for just such move and would have made 1t as costly as the Salerno landing. There were rumors that on account of possible commitments elsewhere the United Nations supply of ship ping was not equal to such an un- dertaking. Apparently the Germans took such reports seriously since there seem to have been nothing but scattered patrols to oppose the landing. Serious opposition is bound to develop, but every minute of grace before that counter-attack gives time to strengthen the beachhead. Mean while great satisfaction is to be derived from the perfect co-ordina- tion of sea, land and air forces which the landing demonstrated.

 Governor Kerr also paid great tribute to Eugene Casey, whom Midwestern committeeman fav- ored as the new National Chair man instead of flanagan. There is nothing in Washington too good for Gene Casey" said Kerr. But we don't want anything to happen here which would detract from the President and complete party unity behind him."
 Therefore, he proposed that Casey be elected vice chairman of the committee, and a resolu- tion was voted unanimously to this effect, subject to the approval of the President. Subsequently, the President decided that, as Casey was on the White House staff as his own executive assist ant, it would be branded as a pure fourth term drive to have Casey serve also as vice chair man of the Democratic National Committee.

 Later Governor Kerr told friends "The fact that we are able to patch up our troubles must have been awful bad news to the Republicans. They were like a hungry lion waiting at a water hole for a thirsty deer"
