$50, 900 Stote Tax Suit
BY the Associated Press

TOPEKA, Kans., July 26.-Attor-
ney General Edward F. Arm said
today he had advised Saline County
officials to file an assessment for
allegedly undeclared State taxes on
about 100000 to 100000 of assets
against the estate of the late Fed
eral District Judge Guy T. Helvering
of Salina, Kans., Commissioner of
Internal Revenue under President
Roosevelt for 10 years.
Mr.. Arm said that Drew Hartnett,
Saline County attorney, had in
formed State officials that the estate
owed taxes on a substantial amount
OF Intangible property. including
bonds, notes and cash.
Mr.. Helvering died last year.

Democrat, of Tennessee, who as
serted this first Republican Con-
gress in Is years reduced the Presi-
dents budget less than did the last
Congress, which was Democratic.
According to Mr.. Gore, the last
Congress Topped 1882 100000 from
the Presidents budget, while this
session made a corresponding re-
duction of only $1,199, 1925 ,946.
Representative Cannon, ranking
minority member of the appropria-
tions committee, gave the COP
credit for $2,207 10000 "at the very
outside"
Republican Record Attacked.
I'm view of all the fanfare at the
start of the session." Mr.. Cannon
declared in a needing voice, they
have made a sorry record. Never
have we witnessed such a gap be-
tween promise and performance. y
Mr.. Cannon based his ngures on
total budget estimates which he
said amounted to $37,885 Sal, 1857.
The gap between the figures of the
rival party spokesmen result from
different conceptions of what should
be counted as actual budget cuts
For example, the Republicans cut
by $800,000,000 the amount the
Treasury may pay out for refunding
erroneous tax collections. The
Democrats challenge this as an &C
tual saving, contending that if the
amount allowed proves insufficient,
the difference will have to be allowed
later.
Senator Lucas, Democrat, of Illi-
nois, took the floor late yesterday to
chide the Republicans for failing to
carry out mandate in the new Con-
gressional Re-organizati ton law by
fixing an overall ceiling on the bud
get by February IS.
He recalled that House G. o. P.
leaders started out "in a burst of en-
thusiasm" by passing the budget
ceiling resolution, aiming at an over
all cut of $6,000,O 100000. The Sem
ate lowered its sights and amended
the resolution to make 00,000, 900
the economy goal. Conferees from
the two houses never agreed on a
final figure, but the Republicans
went ahead, cutting what they could
from each separate supply bill.
No Time to Reply.
When Senator Lucas had finished,
Senator Taft replied that he, too,
could make a political speech, but
would not take the time. He asked,
instead, for permission to insert in
the Record at later date a list of
the accomplishments of this session.
While dissension developed in this
Congress over some domestic issues,
it was notably lacking on foreign
matters.
The Congress fought the President
tooth-and-nail on tax and labor leg
,slation. Twice it voted to cut in
come levies, once effective July /,
1947, and once effective next Janu-
ary l. Both times President Truman
blocked it with vetoes and was sus-
tanned.
Politics" in VetOes Charged.
But Congress overrode his veto of
the Taft-Hartley Labor Management
Act and put it on the law books
despite the Presidents protests.
Mr.. Truman'S action on the tax
and labor bills brought charges of

1t did not require House action,

Final congressional action was
taken during the evening on the
following bills:
To continue a price support pro-
gram for wool. without the tariff
features which caused President
Truman to veto an earlier measure
A bill to stimulate the production
of zinc, copper and lead.

see the Senate struggle toward ad-
repartee as debate on the Army

Senator Connally waved the zoo
page text of the measure over his
head and protested that Senators
were asked to swallow it in five
minutes.
Senators Baldwin of Connecticut,
Lodge of Massachusetts,, Gurney of
South Dakota, Republicans. and
Tydings. Democrat of Maryland,
spoke for the bill.
in opposing the new system, Sen
ator Connally shouted, There is
more politics il the Army to the
square foot than here in the Senate" ="
The Texan also objected to the
number of four star generals and
admirals he said would be retained
under the measure.
Although the lawmakers decided
vene whenever they think it neces-
sary, few memoers think there will
be any need for a special session
and scores have arranged trips to
all parts of the world on investiga-
tlons and studies. Chairman Taft
of the Senate Republican Policy
Committee, said Republican leaders
will get together in October and
look things over then" but he eX-
pressed doubt that special session
would be called.
The sudden departure of Presi-
dent Truman for Grandview, Mo.
just before his mother died, did not
interfere with the adjournment
schedule.
Can Dispense With Formality.
The Senate and House usually
notify the President of their readi-
ness to adjourn and ask whether he
has further instructions, But this
is only formality and some con-
gressional committees appointed for
this purpose have discharged their
function in the past merely by STEP
ping into the Capitol cloakrooms
for few minutes.
Mr.. Truman signed the bill for
unifying the armed forces at the air
port here just before he took off.
Other bills passed in the closing
stages may be sent to him in Mis-
souri, if his stay is prolonged. Any

Taber of the House Appropriations
Committee, who led the Republican

Treasury is better off to the tune of

arrived at this total by claiming a
