300 Tax DeIinquents
Traced in Maryland
Check on u. 5. Files

Nearly 800 Maryland tax delir-
quents who live In nearby areas OF
that State, the District and Vir-
ginia, have been traced in a crack
down by the field Office of the
Maryland controllers department
since it opened here two months
ago.
T. Nelson Dudley, field representa-
tive at 1919 F street NV, said
Maryland officials have been au-
thorized to look over Bureau of In
ternal Revenue tax returns here
and in Richmond to check Federal
reports against those filed in Mary
land or to determine who has failed
to pay.
In most cases we investigate" he
said, 1T Is one of ignorance. We do
not prosecute unless there is will
full violation. We have a few cases
which may come before the grand
jury now in session at Upper Marl-
boro."
Government Workers Listed.
The controllers field Office also
has been furnished with a list of
names OF Government employees in
this area who live in Maryland.
Mr.. Dudley's Office also was estab-
llshed to furnish information to
persons who either work or live In
Maryland or are liable for a tax
even though domiciled in Washing
ton, Virginia or legally residing in
other States. The Office here makes
it unnecessary for those seeking
information to travel to Annapolis.
The field representative estimated
that about 80 per cent of delin-
quents investigated during the last
two months live in nearby Prince
Georges and Montgomery Counties.
State Tax Liability Explained.
What many people do not know,
the said, is that even though they
pay a tax to the District or Vir-
ginia, where they may live, they
still are liable to a Maryland tax
If they Work in that State. Mary
land. however, will allow for the
tax, paid elsewhere.
For instance District resident
employed in Maryland will pay a
graduated tax upward from l per
cent on his income to the District.
Maryland, which has a 2 per cent
rate. then assesses him for / per
cent or less-depending on the
graduated amount collected here.

When I was In the United States
/ read conflicting reports of how he
died. The reports increased as
neared Siam. Now that I am In
Siam, listen from morn till night
to conjectures as to how he died.
Soon the Siamese government Is
going to bring to trial half dozen

the Kings death by bullet wounds
One of them Is an army lieutenant,

The chances are that he will get

not like Siam, and prefers the Euro

er son. She shot him. so some folk
say, to escape living in Siam, and
to put an end to his interest in the

imitation and equilibrize the economy
is to divert purchasing power to
savings. And, therefore, the place
to begin rationing is not in the
meat market but in the money
market.
President Truman was right in his
stand against reducing taxes, pro-
vided high taxes are used to reduce
the National debt. The volume of
Government debt is the greatest
single inf1ationary factor. The
money put back into the public
hands will only enable citizens to
outbid one another for the limited
supply of goods. Little of it will
go to savings.
Credit Should Be Curbed.
A large part of the money in cir.
culation is credit. This credit
should be curbed, reducing bank
loans which in 1946 and 1947 in
creased by $4,000 100000. Reduc-
ton can be achieved without inter-
ference. in peoples private lives
by increasing the interest rate and
or increasing required reserves. 1t
is highly inflationary that while
the price of everything else has
risen so per cent or more, the price
of money hardly has advanced since
the end of the war. Yet cheap
money and expensive goods are the
very description of imitation.
The Government also could di-
rectly prohibit certain kinds of in
vestment, which compete for limited
labor and materials. This is par
ticularly important in the construc-
ton industry. We do not have
nearly enough modest homes and
apartments, but we could certainly
do for a while without more movie
houses, night clubs, or Mr.. Bland
ings villas.
One of Mr.. Wallace's "contri-
buttons" to anti imitation has been
to suggest the need for a network
of new airports for private planes

apparently is a pretty good eater
for one who doesn't eat. 1t has
been suggested by more than one
Siamese wag that if the late King
doesn't 60 on a diet he is likely to
burst right out Of his urn.
Jeanie and I saw the breakfast
that was brought to him. 1t came
to him around 1890 in the morning
limiting that he was a late riser
these days, and was served by a
formidable retinue of servants, each
bearing a single golden plate.
Tea, Cakes Included.
There was piping hot tea, deli
cate little cakes, mounds of fresh
fruit resting on crushed ice, and
finally, a finger bowl and napkin.
We couldn't help but wonder what
the servants would think, and how
they would act, If when bringing
luncheon they found the breakfast
dishes empty.
In order to visit the temple In
the wat where the remains of the

government and dress and conduct
ourselves according to their regula-

ices Of a Buddhist guide, purchase
wreath to place at the foot OF
the urn, and appear at a certain
hour.
The siamese government pre-
scribed for me q white suit. a
black tie. black shoes and a mourn

in my wardrobe I had everything
but white suit, a black tie, black
shoes and mourning band. But
Jack Kendall of Standard Oil of
Bangkok let me have the outfit
he had worn earlier on the same

Jean was told to appear In a
black dress without adornment of
any sort. Not having a black dress
she borrowed the standard Stand
ard Oil outfit from Jack Kendall's

stance, is blaming high prices on
the failure of the Eightieth Con-
gress to adopt his recommendations
for price control. But price control
does not stop the disease Of in

bersome and irritating bureaucracy

The theory is that imitation can
be banished by agreeing to keep
prices down and policing the agree
ment. The end Of that would be
a revival of NRA plus OPA, plus a
black market. The source Of the
imitation still would not be touched.
Flow of Money Increases.
The source of imitation is the
fact that the flow of money has
been, and is, increasing faster than
the supply of goods and services.
This creates an upward pressure on
prices, which is highly profitable
for few but awful for everybody
else. llc UdSlC Va pillo 40 q
war passed and a war feared. The
recent war devastated vast areas and
put them out of production, produc-
ing an unnatural foreign demand
on American goods, while the war
now feared perpetuates expendi-
lures for armaments, an eXtrava-
CANT form of public spending.
Some 80 per cent of the National
income is paid out in wages, salaries
and compensation for services, and
most of it is spent for consumers
goods and services. Many Repub-
licans to the contrary, higher wages
do not produce imitation but are the
result of it, because infiationary
profits alone make them possible
Furthermore, you cannot freeze"
prices without freezing competition
thus aiding the monopolists and
pushing competitive business to the
wall. The only way to control
