For 'Dunning' GI
On Escape Money
BY the Associated Press

The War Department, its figur.
ative face red, today told Repre-
sentative Kilburn, Republican, o1
New York that its efforts to collect
$108.12 from an escaped war pris-
oner Of the Germans was "all mis-
take"
Floyd J. Dumas, Malone, N. Y,
told Mr.. Kilburn that the money
represented sums advanced him by
the State Department through the
Swiss government after he had es-
capped from a prison camp, follow
ing his capture at Anzio, Italy, In
February, 1914.
When he accepted the money
Dumas said he was told that it was
a gift and that repayment was not
required. Later, however, he re-
ceived "dunning" letter from the
Office Of the Chief of Finance con-
tanning this passage:
while 1t is not the intention of
this office to disturb you with COL
lection letters, this Indebtedness, not
withstanding your faithful service
to your country -. represents q
Legitimate obligation due the United
States and should be repaid with
the least practicable delay"
The War Department, after a
hasty review, revealed that the de-
mand for repayment was q mis-
take" and that it was unfortunate

By ChiIIum Heiqhts Group

The Chillum Heights Citizens
Association last night Endorsed the
Fort drive project because this high.
way link, they said, is essential te
the. District "in view of the fact thai
The neighboring States of Maryland
and Virginia are improving theil
road systems with super highways
This drive, they contended, would
divert traffic from the downtown
area. Letters supporting the prof.
ect are to be sent to the District
Commissioners, the National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commission
the Senate and House District Com
mittees and the Federation Of Citi-
zens' Associations.
The association backed the teach
ers' pay bill, now pending in Con-
gress. 1t was pointed out that, be-
cause teachers are underpaid, the
Washington school system is reach
ing low point in efficiency.

Roy L. Birge, president; Olaf Solem

Allen Rogers, treasurer; Miss Anna

argue that no tax reductions should
tbe made until 1t Is certain that
there WIN be = surplus to apply flrst
1 on the national debt.
Republicans, paced BY Chairman
Milhkin Of the Senate Finance
Committee, retort that there will be
at least 4 5000, ,000, 900 surplus to
divide between tax cuts and debt
reduction.
This conflict of views seemed
likely to provide the basis for
lengthy debate.
And that prospect offered little
solace to tax-cutting advocates In
the House, already irked BY the
Senate committees decision to make
the reductions apply July ! instead
lot last January ] as the House had
voted.
Demands by House Republicans
for speedy action were reiterated
yesterday by Chairman Knutson OF
| the Ways and Means Committee,
who told reporters:
"The time for tax reduction is
here now and has been here for
months. Not only do We need tax
relief now, but there will be need
for additional reductions next year" ]"
His assertion came after Secre-
| |tary OF the Treasury Snyder told
| the House group that % period Of
tax reduction Is approaching. Mr..
Snyder has opposed the present
move to reduce taxes, as has Prest-
dent Truman.

House Group Awaits
Subpoena Powers Tor
Full Loyalty Inquiry
BY Joseph Young

A top-to-bottom Investigation
of the Executive branch OF the
Government is contemplated BY
the House Civil Service Commit
tee, it was disclosed today.
start Of the inquiry will depend
on whether the House this week
decides to give the Committee the
power to subpoena witnesses, records
and documents of all the Govern
ment departments and agencies.
Indications are that Republican
leaders win accede to the commit
tees request and will grant the sub
poena powers this week Last week
the House Rules Committee ap-
proved the Civil Service Commit
tees request, setting up formal
House action this Thursday.
Records Now Withheld.
The investigation probably Will
take the following forms:
/. Communism and disloyalty
among Federal employees: For many
months, Chairman Rees Of the
committee has sought to have the
Civil Service Commission hand over
the names of about $500 employees
about whose loyalty there is some
question. The commission has de-
MED this request on the ground II
has no authority to do so, but the
committee may be expected to SUBJ
poena the records If 1t gets the SUBJ
poena power.
In addition, the committee also
would use its power Of subpoena to
summon witnesses and documents
| from various Government depart
ments to determine just how many
Communists or fellow-travelers are
on the Federal pay roll.
Overstafing Scrutinised.
2. Personnel practices In the vari-
our Government departments: Mr.
Rees and other members Of the
committee have accused Federal
department ofiicials OF falling to
cooperate with Congress In re-
ducing Government expenditures,
and the committee plans to find
out If and where excess personnel
Ills being used.
3. Veterans preference in the Gov
ernment: Federal agencies will be
asked to submit records to deter
mine whether veterans are being
given the preferential treatment &C
corded them under law in the cur
rent Government observation-disclosures
program.
4. The War Departments report
ed replacement OF civilian employees
by the military: War Department
officials will be called to explain
these practices. Mr.. Rees already
has condemned these practices as "a
fragrant violation Of the law and the
intent of Congress"
One reason Republican leaders are
expected to support the committees
request for subpoena powers Is that
anything that can be uncovered will
be good campaign material for the
party in 1948.
The importance of subpoena pow
ers it attested by the fact that, at
present. only't two House committees
have such privileges.
