Monterey Anniversary
One hundred years ago today a

- One hundred years ago today an
American expeditionary force under
General Zachary Taylor completed
ssfhe conquest of Monterey, capital
~ Neuva Leon in Northeastern Mex
%4co. The history books have little
80 say on the subject, but its con-
Z rotations were important at the
s&fine. In terms of military science,
4he successful occupation of de-
landed town on foreign soil was
vbroof that troops of the United
Etates were competent to do, under
sstarkly hostile conditions, the work
Tor which they had been trained. 1t
! was significant that the attacking
contingents were outnumbered by
General Pedro Ampudia's garrison
within the walls. The defenders,
ssG6urageous and valiant, gave ground
4Inly when their losses rendered its
x0tention infeasible.
ssssG General Taylor's plan provided for
ASSAULTS from the west and from the
s.Sast coincidentally. His Mississippi
x4giment went to the relief of a
Mrty which had been endeavoring
80 reduce Fort Leneria but had been
s1SApulsed. After repeated clashes, it
c1rried the redoubt and compelled
gstd1e surrender of the fortress proper.
,Ehe western wing then won the
aAghts topped by the bishops
: palace. Meanwhile, the Memphians
aaaH the Texans advanced through
streets and lanes. driving the enemy
toward a final stand in the grand
plaza. A flying barricade" eventu-
s1lF was constructed of boxes and
nAck saddles for an attack upon
TIM Mexicans holding the heart of
na1@ metropolis. The officer who
9fTanged this device was the first
to@azpose himself to the hail of
canister and grape. His name was
Colonel Jefferson Davis, former
Representative from Mississippi,

Wallace Premise w rOnq
BY George FieIding Eliot

In his letter to the President dated
July %. Mr.. Henry A. Wallace criticizes
freely and vigorously the American pro-
posals as to the international control of
atomic weapons.
Mr.. Wallace'S major criticism of our
atomic proposals is that they are based
on "step by step" principle which is so
devised as to require the Russians to give
up what he calls their only two cards
that Is. our lack Of knowledge of their
scientific progress and of their uranium
and thorium depositS-before we are
committed to do anything. We are telling
Russia, he says, that after we have seen
her cards we will decide whether we
want to continue to play the game"
This, he says, will not do. The step-by-
step plan In any one-sided form is not
workable" Mr.. Wallace continues. 1.-The
entire agreement will have to be worked
out and wrapped up In q single package
This may involve certain steps or stages
but the timing of such steps must be
agreed to in the initial master treaty"
But this is exactly what the American
delegation to the Atomic Energy Com
mission of the United Nations has al
ready proposed, as the following quota
tion from the American Memorandum
No. /. submitted by our delegation to the
commission OH July 2, 1916, will make
quite clear:
"The control and development Of
atomic energy must be international and
should be intrusted to IN agency which
for present purposes Is called the Atomic
Development Authority. This authority
would be created by a treaty - the
treaty should contain provisions "
governing the sequence and timing Of
the steps In the transition from the pres
ent conditions to the conditions which
win prevail once the authority Is In effec-
tive control of atomic energy (and)
specifying the time when and the condi-
tions under which the national and pri-
vate possession, manufacture and use OF
atomic weapons shall be outlawed. ."
What is this? Is It not proposal
involving definite American commit
ments to wrap up In single package"
the entire question Of just when and
how we will give up our bombs and
transfer to an international agency
effective control Of atomic energy?"
What is this, II it Is not = proposal to
do this by certain steps and stages,
the timing of which are to be agreed
to In the initial master treaty? 1t is
clear that the American delegation. on

Voice of Experience
With SUNDAY Morning Edit,on.
" AS HIN G TON, d. {

Ii experience is the best teacher,
the experience with the local income
tax should point warning. In 1887
the Commissioners presented to
Congress an equitable" tax pro-
gram, of which the local income tax
was the keystone When the meas
ure came before the House former
Representative Martin Dies of Texas
solemnly warned his colleagues that
the bill would tax their incomes So
the bill was killed, 227 to IS, without
even bringing it up for debate
A year later there was another try
for an income tax, which was based
on the universal principle of taxing
locally derived income. Representa-
tive Smith of Virginia and former
Representative Lewis of Maryland
sent Joint letter to every member
of the House, appealing to them to
kill the bill, as it would tax non-
residents, including their own con-
stituents who work in Washington
and live in Maryland and Virginia.
The bill was killed again
A third try was made the year fol-
lowing. Speaker Rayburn, then the
majority leader, took this states
manlike stand:
I may say to the gentleman that l
am one member of the House who will
not vote for any tax bill for the District
OF Columbia that has any ambiguity in
1t with reference to the question
whether or not I may have to pay an
additional income tax in the District of
Columbia or whether my clerks will
have to pay an additional income tax
in the District of Columbia when they
are citizens of the State of Texas. (Ap-
plause)
When finally enacted the income
tax had been so changed-to pre-
vent the taxation of those who have
the vote-that it was unrecogniz-
able. 1t now constitutes the rank
est example of discriminatory taxa
ton in the country, eXempting from
taxes large proportion of the peo-
PIC WllO ave llClC dll4 1CIClfC IOlll-
munity benefits and services.
This wholesale tax exemption, ap-
plying to real estate as well as to
personal incomes, is one reason that
the District is in such financial
straits now. The remedy does not
lie in imposing higher local taxes.
Jiohor 1nanl iya1rancoI a
few years ago, yet we are in worse
condition now than we were then
The remedy is to convince Congress
that it's own wholesale exemptions
in tax liability must be offset by a
higher Federal payment and that
this payment must be in some fixed
proportion to the amount of local
tax revenue If that is done it will
be time enough to consider necessary
. changes in the local tax structure.
If we repeat the mistake of 1887
. and volunteer a. program of higher
: local taxes, we shall get them in the
s form that Congress orders. But a
z few years hence we shall be where
& we are today, facing deficit in
: revenues along with a deficit in the
Z municipal improvements for which
= new taxes are levied. Local taxation,
Ano matter how excessive it may be,
: will not finance the needs of this
Capital City alone. These needs
must be met by equitable sharing
ssof the load between those who do
saeH the spending and those who do
ssall the paying.

Since the end of the war our union
has fought consistently for an expanded
public service whereby Government
could make a full contribution to a
healthier and happier nation. Our
union has consistently modelled its pol
icies upon the program of our late
President Franklin D. Roosevelt and has
vigorously fought for democratic rights
and full citizenship for the Nations
public employees.
The jnsinuations and snide comments
of the Washington press have failed to
dampen the enthusiasm of the Nations
public employees for democratic Amer
ican organization that fights for, be-
lieves in and practices democracy.
Let there be no Misunderstanding
about the program and policies OF
UPW-CIo. Our program is to organize
public employees so as to bring to them
the benefits that the CIO has won in
the field Of private employment. The
policy Of our union is to provide the
American people with better public
service rooted In . well-paid. secure
personnel. This Is our program and
these are our objectives.
We do not ask the newspapers to
fght our battles for us but we do
demand square deal, fair, objective and
honest treatment and an end to the
practice Of making the Nations public
employees football to be kicked around

Pope Praises UNRRA
In Addressing $4,000
Children Of Rome
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
VATICAN CITY, Jan. 26.-Pope
Plus XII, receiving $4,000 Rome
children in the largest audience of
his pontificate, praised the United
Nations Relief and Rehabilitation
Administration today for aid to
needy children throughout the world
and called on children to pray and
resist evil"
He called UNRRA United Nations
Ibenefactors " heralds of kindness
and distributors and thus pioneers
of harmony and peace in the world"
and thanked all public institutions
and persons who aid the needy. He
also received UNRRA officials.
"Voice Of Tomorrow"
The Pope made his discourse in
Italian and then closed with these
words in English:
THE cry of children is rising over
land made desolate by war. Hunger,
cold, crippled they are calling, alas
in vain, for mother who would
soothe them, for gentle hand that
would soothe their aching tired
bodies.
City streets are sadly echoing the
braggart shout and hollow laugh of
mere children, defenSeless and
guideless, as they slide along the
ways of vice and crime.
Theirs is the voice of tomorrow
and it is a challenge: Are such as
these to shape and build the future?
Through them we hear the voice
of their creator, and its appeal. we'll
ing up from depths of infinite love:
What you will do for them you do for
me ."
Our fervent prayer is that Gods
blessing may descend upon you ALI"
Carried to Altar.
The children sang hymns and ac-
claimed the Pontiff as he was car
ried through the main aisle to the
altar, giving the papal blessing.
Massed in the nave and transepts-I
the boys on the right and the girls
on the left-the children saw rather
than heard the Pope speak because
the microphone was not working.
Their voices hushed as the Pontiff
lifted his hands and his face beamed
with happiness over the enthusiasm
of the children's ovation.
In greeting the children at st.
Peters, the Pope stressed that it is
the largest church in the world"
and added: "It seems to want to
stretch itself to make room not only
for the children of Rome who could
not come but also for all your small
needy brothers and sisters of Italy
and the world and to receive all the
young and old who hear the voice
of the Lord"

Democracy in Lithuania

the rights of both States were
to be respected during the war.
But, as in the fable of the wolf
and the lamb, Russia adopted
her, usual technique and found
a reason for tearing up the
treaty. In 1910 Lithuania was
invaded by force, and all the
Baltic States were declared an
nexed; with, it was deceitful-
ly declared, the consent of the
people.
The Apostolic Delegate was
expelled and a reign of terror
instituted. Life was complete
| ly disrupted. Thousands were
slaughtered, imprisoned or sent
to distant parts of Siberia. The
Bishops were witnesses of all
this. They tell us that every
one who held any prominent
position was either liquidated
or removed. In June, 1871, at
the approach of the German
army, 10000 helpless victims
were crammed into box cars
without food or water. Many
died tefore the trains started.
Nothing has been heard of any
survivors. The children were
separated from their parents
and placed in Soviet orphan
ages to be brought up as Com
munists. 1t may here be men
toned that the same fate has
overtaken the children which
disappeared from Spain. Had
the Germans not arrived it was
intended, as documents show,
to deport nearly a million Lith-
uanians in the same way.
The Germans now made the
masters of themselves in Lith-
uania, dissolving the govern
ment that had been set up, by
popular consent, when the peo-
pie rose in defiance of the re-
treating Russians. For three
years Hitlerism held sway dur
ing the German invasion of
Russia. The Bishops say that,
bad as it was, the German oc-
!: cupation was preferable to the
Russian. Resistance to the Ma
ri ideology was visited by i'm
prisonment in concent tt o n
, camps, and 100000 workers
were exported to Germany as
= slaves.
: Then came the third scourge
far worse than the others. In
1914 the Germans were being
pressed back and Lithuania be-
came a major battlefield. Both
armies destroyed cities and vii
lagos without thought of the
hapless civilians. Both sides
deported thousands of workers
Twice the battle front was
stabilized with fighting for
months. Many Lithua n a n S
sought safety in flight and a
large number of them are still
scattered over Germany afraid
to return to their own coun-
! try.
What is happening in Lith-
uania now must be judged by
what happened during the first
Russian occupation. Every eff
fort was then made to destroy
the religion of the people. The
seminaries were closed. The
priests were prevented from ev-
