Brown of Ohio Caused G. O. P. Leaders
To Put New Tax Bill on Calendar

litics and he is very apt to tell the
truth when he discusses the angles
If the President gets the jump on
the Republicans on taxes, he told his
colleagues, 1t would be difficult for
them to give the middle income and
investment groups the tax relief they
expect from the COP.
With a new bill making the cuts
effective January next, he argued
the Democrats were on the spot and
could be made to take the rap even
if the Senate sustained a second
veto.
Backed by Leaders.
At this point, according to Sen
ate conferee, there didn't seem
much they could say. Speaker
Martin, Majority Leader Halleck and
Rules Chairman Allen backed Brown
Senator Taft, who was understood
to have had doubts about the wis
dom Of a tax rush at this point, did
not undertake to stem his fellow
Ohioan who is helping master mind
the Taft presidential campaign. Mr.
Taft is one of those who feel that
some social legislation-minimum
wage, housing-is indicated at this
point, but he did not press that view
at this time either.
Others de1nurred that the Senate
situation was still problematical
They said they didn't know if they
could master the two-thirds neces-
sary to override and that other COM
pications might arise. But with the
House adamant, they yielded with
out real dispute.

On the Other Hand
Regrets That Taft's Statement
Was Only Typographical Error

But Senator Bricker said the pro-
posal was "the cheapest kind of po-
litical demagoguery."
Which brings up anew the Oc-
casional divergences between Ohio's
Senators and revives speculation
concerning Senator Bricker's inten-
tions with regard to the 1948 NOM
ination. He has seemed for some
months to allow it to be assumed
that he will step out of the way
for Senator Taft, although he never
has said it in so many words. No.
body has thought, however, that he
would step aside if he considered
his own chances as good as or better
than Mr.. Taft'S. His own chances
would depend on the general pros
pect of a Republican victory. # it
should appear that virtually any
Republican could win in 1948 he
could expect the party managers
to pick an old-fashioned regular like
himself, as against an unpredictable
person like Gov. Dewey or MI. Stas-
sen-or even Senator Taft.
Bricker May be in Race.
If real split occurs in the Demo-
cratic Party, as now seems likely
enough, the conditions should be
perfect for Mr.. Bricker, but not
quite perfect for Mr.. Taft. Taft's
very name will be a fighting word
in '48, thanks to the labor control
law which bears the name. The
party's managers may desire some
thing less contentious, even though
they have little hope of winning
many of labor's votes.
And then there Is Mr.. Taft's un-
predictability. He doesn't join in
abusing the President for suggesting
an investigation of the real estate
lobby. He reminds the public that
his own long-range housing bill has
been the victim of misleading
propaganda" by that same lobby.
Not safe and sound candidate,
from the Bricker viewpoint. So it
may be that we will find Mr.. Bricker
still in the race come next spring.
And if Mr.. Bricker's guessing
turns out to be good. thereM be
nothing for Mr.. Taft to do but
sigh and sign. Voluntarily. r =

They encountered a House blitzkrieg
in which Representative Brown
may be fairly said to have repre-
sented at least one armored division.
The Representative feels strongly
on the subject. He naturally would
as an Ohio Republican of large
means. But in addition he spark
plugged the 46 capture of the Con-
gress during which he and his ora
tors promised tax cuts every hour
on the hour. Real emotion creeps
into his voice when he mentions
that superb and simple '46 platform
of budget slashes, tax cuts and labor
curbs.
"Still Good Politics"
1t was good politics then and it's
still good, the massive Congress
member told the conference. If the
Republicans don't push through
their own bill or make another real
try, he warned, President Truman
will flash his own on them January
/ next.
The Presidents bill, Mr.. Brown
predicts, would be an appealing mix
ture of higher exemptions and grad
uated levies calculated to take the
greatest possible number of voters
off the tax rolls. With all the propa-
ganda resources of the White House
behind it, it would be hard to fight,
he admitted.

That there are men so made

has only to remember what Gen.

and Senate subcommittee appro-
priations session, a few days ago.

Can Overthrow Regimes.
The political waters in that par
| of the world are very muddy. Tht
Communists can create untolc
trouble and can overthrow, almost
at will, the weak and vacillatine
regimes which exist only from day te
day.
Even the British government
which does not have the same
Communist inflltration as the French
and italian governments-is faced
with q difficult task at home. The
left-wingers in the Labor Party are
expected to do their utmost to pre-
vent formation ofs a western eco
nomic block for fear that this may
lead to a major clash with the
U. s. S. r.
The Soviet government already
has placed the economic offer by the
United States on a political plane
and has described it as "Machia-
vellian maneuver of the American
monopolists" to gain political con-
troll over the world.
The consensus of the highest quar-
tiers in Washington is that any at
tempt of Western Europe to organize
itself without Russia will be chal-
lenged by Moscow through the sub
versive elements it has established
everywhere.
In military quarters, where the
Marshall plan has been carefully
studied as means by which Russia
could accomplish Immediately all o1
her expansionist ideas, it is believed
that Western Europe might stand ur
to Russia's wrath only if it feels il
can count on American support, not
only in the economic but the polit-
ical and military fields as well.
In other words, it is safe to predict
that Britain and France will &C
ahead and work independently o1

that America you'd not remain i'm

Too bad that was an error. Think

Tenants Will Do Both.
As it Is, most tenants, outside the
District of Columbia, will doubtless
do both, sigh and sign. Some, of
course, will also scream and swear

what it is, tenants presently will be

There was no typographical error
in a statement by Ohio's senior
Senator on another phase of the
housing problem, but ohio's Junior
Senator, Mr.. Bricker, evidently
thinks there was a political error.

proposal that Congress investigate

am quite sure that, as a former
soldier who knows about security,
Gen. Eisenhower didn't like to bare
to the world the armed weakness of
country which he, as Chief Of
Staff. shoulders the responsibility
to defend. I am quite sure that it
didn't make him happy to reveal
what we haven't got. You must re-
member that ours is a free country,
and that when our leaders say some
thing the full text is known in Mos
COW a few hours Later.
You must remember, too, that
Gen. Eisenhower was talking to men
who. when the passing OF time
places them in their proper inches,
won't be within rocket trip OF his
niche. Cen you imagine anything
more damning, insofar as a legis-
lator's mind is concerned, than Gen.
Eisenhower having to plead, argue,
and attempt to ingratiate himself?
It makes me sort of sick to think of
a man like Gen. Eisenhower having
to try to sell himself, and his con-
victions, to some Congressman
whose sole claim to ability is that he
found politics an easier way to make
living than working.
Whose Judgment Excels?
If Americans can't trust Messrs.
Eisenhower, Marshall, Macarthur,
Forrestal, Patterson, and men of
their caliber then who in the world
can they trust? 1t doesn't stand TO
reason that a legislator from Upper
Mississippi, or Lower Ohio, or Mid
die Maine, or North Central Texas
would know more than these men
about how the world stands today.

everything east of the Elbe River,
