is that they are not all the people,
but selected groups of people. Not
what we sometimes call the little
people or the masses. The little
people aren't the ones that have
kept the majority leaders in there
fighting with the President over an
income tax bill that would reduce
their taxes SIS or so year. 1t
must be the people who would save
SIS 900 or so.
And the little people haven't been
hollering their heads off in support
of the budget slashing that will
deprive them of many services here
tofore rendered by the Government.
Quite the contrary. They have
hollered, loud and long in some in
stances, when they've discovered
what the budget cuts mean; as In
the case of the Western farmers
when the reclamation program was
on the point of being wrecked. (The
farmers protest was partially sue
cessful, incidentally. 1t caused their
own Congress members to revolt
against the leaders and obtain res
toration of some of the funds)
Able to Do Many Things.
In the time not used up by taxes
and budget cutting, the Congress
has been able to do a good many
things for the people from whom 1t
really takes its mandate.
The real estate people, for ex-
ample. Rent control has been
pretty well abolished and all at
tempts at legislation to improve
the general housing situation put on
ice.
The railroad people seem about
to get what they want, which Is
legislation excusing them from the
operations of the antitrust laws.
The electric power people will be
free from Federal control, to a large
extent. If the Senate follows the
lead Of the House.
The gas and oil people, ditto.
And the people who hire other
people, in any large numbers. will
be free from the unions-if the
Hartley-Taft bill works. OF course,
If We have many situations like that
in coal mining, where John L. Lewis
and the operators appear to recog-
nize no mandate from anybody, 1t
will be different story.
Not Being Carried Out.
But people who object to being
lynched and people who object to
paying a poll tax for the privilege of
voting are not getting much salts
faction. If they gave this Congress
mandate, it is not being carried
out. Republican House leaders toyed
for a time with the idea Of passing
antilynching and antipoll tax laws,
but. as they said, 1t was just to put
some of their Southern Democratic

Shows Verbal Skill.
Gov. Dewey gave here an intel
ligent, easy-mannered show. With
smart timing and verbal skill he
gave good performance on Well
worn tax questions which thwarted
the political reporters effectively
and at the same time got head
lines.
Essentially, his is probably still
a cerebral performance. In his role
of vote-getter, Gov. Dewey is like
an actor who has mastered the
technique Of the trade perfectly, yet
lacks the power to communicate
emotion. He. must wonder enviously
sometimes how men so inferior to
him intellectually, such as his 1914
running mate, Senator Bricker, can
WIN crowds so easily. The New

In MUNICH a Counter-Intelligence Corps
Il agent took me on sightseeing tour 1t
wasn't the placid Isar River that we viewed
or the Angel of Peace pillar which scars
ironically above the ruins.
The first point of interest he showed me
was the mems toilet in the sprawling, shat
tered railway station On the wall was
scrawled:

1t means: Give US enough to eat, other
wise we can't forget our Fihrer"
The ClC agent took me down a fight of
stairs deep into the gloomy bunkers where
the citizens of Munich once covered from
the B-l7s. He and his colleagues take
professional interest in the bunkers. Here
the "Edelweiss Pirates" meet and hatch
their schemes for committing depredations
on Americans and beating up DPS.
Badge Of Recognition
HE Pirates are mostly young - what we
would call juvenile delinquents - and the
Bavarian mountain flower, Edelweiss, has
become their symbol They sometimes wear
it under lapel and fash it to each other
as sign of recognition.

properties on Lincoln avenue.

They also contend there is still suf-

Drive For Sales Tax
In Virginia Prepared
By League Of Counties
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 13.-The
League of Virginia Counties today
was preparing Its program for the
meeting Of the Virginia General AS
sembly in January, during which
one of its main objectives will be
the passage of a retail sales tax.
Field Secretary w. B. Speck said
the sales tax is one of the major
problems of the leagues agenda.
The league approved the sales tax
idea at its meeting last summer in
Roanoke. Boards of supervisors, MIR
Speck said, contended that they saw
no alternative If sufficient funds
were to be provided for school
health and welfare work.
The counties, he said, by actual
survey are now facing a school
building program Of at least $125,-
100000. The supervisors concluded
he said, that real estate could not
bear a greater burden and for that
reason the sales tax was recon-
mended as q final resort.
NAA. 0PCSh cdAo AlC Wdo 1lOG plC
pared to say who will introduce the
proposal If 1t is not presented as an
administration measure.
The sales tax is looked upon as
one of the most controversial issues
before the Legislature. The Vir-
ginia Retail Merchants Association
labor and other groups already are
lined up against it on the. grounds
that it is regressive form of taxa
ton and that it may not be needed
yet.
The League of Virginia Counties
has taken the view, according to Mr..
Speck, that the money is needed for
various services and that a sales levy
Is the only available source of suffl-
cient funds.

and F streets NV. which opened
yesterday for the first time, resplen-
dent with supply of jewelry and
electrical appliances. Such crowd
was on hand at 8 am. that police
had to be called to quiet things
down. A policeman stood at the
door all day, admitting customers
six at time.
There was the usual pre- Christ
mas crop of f1aring tempers and
hurt feelings among the shoppers,
which didn't exactly add to the
Yuletide spirit Of friendliness.
But a more serious note was
sounded when Judge Almond w.
Scott announced yesterday he may
order shoplifting suspects to face
charges in Municipal Court rather
than forefit collateral at police pre-
cinct stations.
Six Forfeit Collateral.
Seven petty larceny cases came
before the court yesterday-f1rst re-
suit OF a. special 45-man anti-shop-
lifting police detail which joined the
Christmas shoppers at stores two
days ago. Six forfeited collateral
which Judge Scott said he allowed
reluctantly. The seventh pleaded
not guilty and VIII face a jury tria
next month.
Now that the annual Christmas
deluge Of shoplifting has started ir
earnest" warned Judge Scott, 81
think forfeitures are a bad thing
"You let these thieves off with
simply surrendering $25, and all Of
them begin to feel they can have q
field day in the stores with relatively
little risk"
II don't propose to let them OF
so easy" he added.
Lost Purse Recovered.
One Christmas shopper is con-
vinced, however, that there really
is human kindness and honesty
among the masses Of people showing
each other around in stores. Mrs.
Charles Brandenburg, of 1920 High
land street, Arlington, was shopping
at a downtown store Friday after
noon, when she left hef purse on
a counter as she stopped to shift
packages from one arm to another
An hour later she missed it and went
to the lost-and-found department
The purse, containing $3.50 cash and
a $400 watch, had been turned in by
Mrs. Ruth Boteler. of 6143 Kansas
avenue NV.
Mrs. Brandenburg and her hus-
band last night said they were SO
amazed at the honesty that they
haven't decided yet just what reward
they will make to Mrs. Boteler.
