House Unit Opposes
Tax investigator Cut

After hearing testimony that
proposed cut in the investigative
staff of the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau would cost the Government
about 81 800 100000 in unpaid taxes
during the coming year, the House
Civil Service Committee Yesterday
voted to exempt the agency from
the Dirksen reduction n force
amendment to the Federal Pay Act.
Stewart Berkshire. assistant COM
missioner of internal revenue, told
the committee most of the money
expected to be collected would come
from unreported profits during the
war and from black market opera
tions. He pointed out that during
the last year the bureau collected
81 500 100000 in unpaid taxes.
The Dirksen amendment, pro-
vlding for reduction of 100000
employees in the Federal service dur
ing the next year, would remove
II 800 workers from the Revenue
Bureau rolls.
The bill acted on by the commit
tee, exempting the Revenue Bureau
workers from the reduction, was
sponsored by Representative Ran

Carson Probe May Aid Mead
In Race for New York Governor
'osed to Senator Mead's

terly opposed TO senator Mead S
nomination.
Senator Mead, 1t now appears,
can have the gubernatorial nonlina-
ton beyond a doubt. If he becomes
in some degree a national hero be-
cause Of his handling of the present
Carson inquiry, his supporters fig
ure it will have its effect on the
voting in the coming election
Some of the New York Democrats
predict that the Republicans will
lose ground because of their attacks
in Congress on the OPA. and that
If a period of high prices results
from the muddle over OPA the drift
will be toward the Democratic party
In some quarters Senator Mead is
criticized because he contented him
self with voting against the attacks
on OPA in the Senate He should
it is said. have taken leading part
in the debates on the OPA bill. seiz-
ing an opportunity to berate the op-
position.
Assured Of Support.
Senator Mead now seems assured
not only of Democratic support for
Governor but also of that of the
American Labor Third Party and
the Liberal Party-the two principal
third parties" in New York State
The State Executive Committee of
the Liberal Party has just announc-
ed that 1t unanimously selected
Senator Mead as its gubernatorial
candidate-and at the same time
announced former Gov. Lehman as
its candidate for senator to fill the
seat now occupied by Senator Mead
The American Labor Party is not
expected to announce its candidates
until its convention meets in Sep
tember. However, it is confidently
predicted it will pick Senator Mead
for Governor. The ALP is backing
former Mayor La Gardia of New
York City for the senatorial nomin-
alton, and will endeavor to convince
the Democratic Party it must take
the former mayor The contention
of the ALP is that while Mr.. Leh-

figure like Mr.. La Guardia is needed
on the ticket to Slug it out" with
Gov. Dewey in the coming campaign
Mr.. Lehman, it holds. is not color
full or forceful campaigner
Mr.. Lehman has the inside track
for the senatorial nomination with
the Democrats. 1t is well understood
that he would like to have the
nomination. and in some quarters it
/ is said that Mr.. Lehman already
has been promised the nomination
| by Democratic leaders.
/ The death of Sidney Hillman was
a blow to the ALP, of which Mr.
Hlllman was State chairman-as
we'll as to the CLOS PAC of which
/ he was the head. The present
expectation is that the ALP will
select new State chairman from
the membership of Sidney Hillmans S
old unlon-the garment workers
when it meets in convention, with
the planning committee, in the
meantime, following policies laid
down by Mr.. Hillman. In the same
quarters it is said that Philip Muir
ray. president of the CIO. is likely
TO take over Mr. Hillman's place
as head of the PAC.

The Laymen's Committee yester-
day toured Camp Let's, which was
established by the YMCA 40 years

DeGast, general secretary of the
Washington YMCA, trace the
camps history. More than 1000
boys have attended the camp since
its beginning in 1906, he said.
Mr.. DeGast announced a drive
for $4,000 to be collected at the
rate of $1,000 yearly for expansion
of camp activities. Following his
talk the 300 boy campers staged a
program of music and athletics
for the entertainment of the visitors.

Army Radios Smashed and Sold

Text of May Reply to Mead

FOLLOWING is the tert OF the
! letter sent late yesterday BY Rep
reSentatiue May. Democrat, OF
Kentucky. to Chairman Mead OF
/ the Senate War Investigating
| Committee 1t 1Uas 1Critten after
the committee made the statement
that, in Mr.. Mays inSiStence on
certain conditions be fore he
Uonld appear as a UitneSs. ii
could find no alternative to the
conclusion that he is "unabie to
explain or contradict" facts link
ing him to the Carson munitions
combine.
Dear Senator Mead:
Your letter dated July l3 has
been received. Your Interpretation
of my use of the word consider"
is not correct. 1t was intended to
indicate that I did not desire to
commit myself until assured that
the privileges and rights, including
the right to cross examine witnesses,
to present witnesses and the pro-
duction of records to be designated
as stated in my previous letter,
would be accorded to me.
Your suggestion that the COM
mittee would be willing to accord
me all of the customary rights and
privileges granted witnesses before
the Military Affairs Committee of
the House of Representatives is
possibly susceptible of application
to the hearings being conducted by
/ your committee but 1t presents the
problem Of determining the stand
ard thus set. Particularly is this
/ true when it comes to finding
among the investigations of the
House Committee one which could
be considered comparable to that
/ which is now being conducted by
the Senate Committee.
Referring to the fourth para
graph OF your letter, in which you
state that the import of my letter
is that I decline to appear before
your committee, I have not so de-
cllned. Before accepting, l am
simply seeking basis upon which
such acceptance can be made with
out being denied the rights and
privileges specified.
Your conclusion that in my
letter 1 admit such facts to be true
is unWarranted. 1t parallels other
! characteristics of the conduct OF
your hearings to which I object
Permit me to suggest in this con-
nection that, not having been al
the hearing and not having been
supplied transcripts of the testi-
mony which has been adduced SC
far, I am not in a position to admit
or DENY any statements made by
A. c. Brown or L. w. Fields, or any
other witness, nor even adequately
to comment upon the evidence OF
any particular one of them.
AS to an accounting of steward
ship of public trust, be assured that
