The Federation's special commit
tee declared that the Council is "by
no means" a body representing the
people of Washington. 1t criticized
the method by which members OF
the Racial Relations Committee were
selected.
In this connection, Mr.. Connaugh-
tons group said it was informed by
council representatives that "a cer-
tain citizen of Washington" was
asked to submit a list of 1000 names
of Washington residents as possible
members of the eight committees.
These persons were asked if they
were interested and, from their re-
sponses, the personnel of the various
committees were chosen, the Fedora
ton report stated.
Thus, the various committees en-
gagged in this survey were in effect
self nominated for the particular job

asserted. They were, in many in

Montgomery Leaves
London for Moscow;
Hopes 10 See Stain
By the Associated Press

LONDON, Jan. 4. - Teetotaler
Field Marshal Lord Montgomery
left for Moscow today to make a
four-day military inspection and
lift few toasts with his Russian
hosts.
Bundled in a white sheepskin coat
in readiness for Moscow's cold,
Britain's imperial chief of staff
said he went ito establish friendly
contact with the Soviet Army and
hoped to see Prime Minister Stain.
He took off in an RAF transport
plane with his general staff and
Col. I. P. Gorshko, Soviet military
attache in London who will act as
his interpreter. He landed shortly
after in Berlin for tWo-day stay.
He expects to arrive on Monday in
Moscow, where he will be the guest
for six days of Marshal Alexander
NJ Vasilevsky, former chief of staff
of the Soviet army.
Invited by Stain.
Marshal Montgomery was invited
to Moscow by Mr.. Stain himself at
the Potsdam conference in July,
1945, and the invitation was renewed
by Marshal Vasilevsky last Octo-
ber. Observers attached some sig
nificance to the fact that the latter's
invitation came between Mr..
Stains two conciliatory statements
on world affairs to Alexander Worth
of the London Sunday Times in
September and Hugh Baillie of the
United Press in late October.
Moscow dispatches said the Rus
sian press gave wide publicity to
the forthcoming visit, linking it with
his recent visit to the United States.
The Moscow radio quoted British
as saying "the decision
adopted after the trip of Montgom-
cry to the United States on stand
of training and equip
ment was the first stage of long
term Anglo-American cooperation

In Moscow Marshal Montgomery
will live at the British Embassy
across the frozen Moscow river
from the Kremlin.
Moscow dispatches said he prob
ably will pay an official visit to
the Kremlins during his stay, be
shown some Russian military in
stallations and equipment, and en-
joy a round of receptions and army
He doubtless will be asked to
drink quite a few toasts, the dis
patches said, although as good
hosts the Russians probably would
not insist on Vodka and instead
would offer mineral water to the
military chieftain.

yesterday to hand over 'as a GRIM

out of his trade mission job in Mex

The Soviet Union asked the State
Department to launch a regular
man hunt for Kirill Alekseev. accus-
ing him of embeZzlement, treachery,
treason, provocation, slander and
failing to 60 home when he was

The State Department took the

Knutson Contends Reductions

Chairman Knutson of the House
Ways and Means Committee issued
a statement yesterday intended to
bolster his No. l House bill for a
20 per cent slash in individual in
come taxes, or a $500, 900 900 re-
duction in the tax load in 1947.
He cited tax reductions made by
Republican Congresses in the 1920s,
arguing that lower rates had en-
couraged business and thereby
actually increased revenue.
Tax receipts from individual in
comes, although rates were reduced
four times, increased from SITS, ,000,-
900 in 1921 to $1,164 100000 in 1928,
he said. Collections from individuals
now are running about $4,000, ,000,-
600 annually.
The Federal debt was reduced
from $24, ,299, ,0000,0 600 in 1920 to $16,-

Mr.. Knutson recalled that the

tax from IS per cent in 1921 to 20
per cent in 1929.
Despite these reductions" he
said, tax revenues continued to
rise so that there was ample surplus
to provide for sizable reductions in

While Mr.. Knutson continued
optimistic, opposition was rising. A
