minority member Of the Ways anc
Means Committee.
Mr.. Doughton told reporters he
has drafted a plan to trim taxes
only $4,000, 0O0, 000-but by following
the general lines of the Republican
legislation rather than Mr.. Truman's
substitute.
Propose Slash at Bottom.
Both Mr.. Doughton and Mr.
Knutson propose an increase of $10O
in the present $500 personal exemp-
ton, thereby striking an estimated
100000 low income persons from
the tax rolls.
Both, too, call for general ap-
plication of the community prop
erty principle which allows hus-
bands and wives to split family in
come for tax reporting, thus hold
ing their tax computations in lower
brackets.
They differ only in the percent
age cuts.
Mr.. Knutson's bill provides for
reductions ranging from 80 per cent
in the lowest bracket to 10 per
cent In the highest.
Mr.. Doughton's calls for trim
ming IS per cent from taxable in
come up to $1,000, and only S per
cent on that part of persons in
come over $4,000. Incomes between
the $1,000 and the $4,000 groups
would receive cuts ranging from
10 to Is per cent.
Has Biggest Following.
The House may get a chance to
vote February 2 on which bill ii
prefers, but the Knutson plan has
the biggest following rs Of now.
Mr.. Doughton told reporters he
wants three kinds Of cuts-in Gov

taxes.

WW Urges Senator'S
ToExfend Rent Control
BY the Associated Press

A spokesman for the Veterans
Of Foreign Wars said today Federal
rent controls must be extended "if
a large portion of our public, includ-
ing veterans, are not to become eco
nomic casualties in competitive bid
ding for available rental housing
units"
Omar K. Ketchum, legislative
representative of the VFW, told a
Senate Banking subcommittee that
there is national emergency with
respect to housing and shelter"
which cannot be eased In the near
future.
The subcommittee is considering
whether to extend rent controls be-
yond February 20, when they will
expire unless Congress acts to con-
tinue them.
Another witness, William e. Rus
sch of New York City, recommend
ed one-year extension OF controls
with a general increase and other
notifications.
Mr.. Russell, chairman Of the
Metropolitan Fair Rent Committee,
said Housing Expediter Tighe Woods
has disregarded the plain intent OF
Congress that local rent advisory
boards should have discretion with
regard to rental increases or COM
plete decontrol.
"He seems to be imbued with the
philosophy that one who furnishes
shelter for another is a public enemy
and not public benefactor," Mr..
Russell declared.
"It seems to be his desire to en-
slave the housing industry with
more stringent and bureaucratic
control rather than to evolve plan
for orderly and gradual decontrol.
He offers prime example OF the
dangerous tendency of temporary
Government agencies to enlarge and

added to President ,Truman's start
ing request for the Marshall Plan.
He questioned whether the Ma
ton, already beset by imitation and
shortages, can stand such a further
strain without plunging into a de-
preston. THE only safe course is
for us not to overexport," he said.

India, with some 100000 inhabitants. All
devout Roman Catholics and with con-
siderable admixture of Portuguese blood,
the Goanese undoubtedly consider them
selves Portuguese rather than Indians.
And they are considered as such in Portu-
gal itself. Incorporation of the Portuguese
colonies into the Indian Union would thus
present nationalistic difficulties which do
not apply to the French settlements.
Nevertheless, these alien enclaves appear
as offensive anomalies to the strong ma
tionalism of an India that has just eman-
cipated itself from British rule. And there
can be little doubt that their ultimate in
corporation into the Indian Union will
take place. However, their very insignif1-
canoe precludes their being any threat to
India's security. Therefore it may be hoped
that India will not seek to hasten settle
ment of the issue by measures which
could arouse needless resentments due to
offended pride and prestige.

Lie Detectors' Rated Very Low

To the Editor Of The star:
Apparently the Un-American Committee has
reached the bottom of its bag of shabby tricks;
it has begun to repeat itself. For the second
time, it is talking of submitting witnesses to
"lie-detector" tests.
The worthlessness of the 'lie-detector" for
purposes Of criminal investigation has been
pointed out by authorities as various as the
American Psychiatric Association and the for
mer police commissioner of New York, Ed
ward P. Mulrooney. Courts have excluded
"lie-detector' findings as evidence, not out OF
mere judicial conservatism but for the sound
est reasons. No mechanical marvel can re-
veal the truthfuness or untruthfulness of a
witness. The emotional and physiological re-
actions which the Keeler polygraph and SIM
liar machines measure are result OF many
complicated factors, and no analyst, regard
less of his genius can determine from set
of graphs whether a violent fluctuation was
caused by the effort of telling lie, the fear
of being unjusty convicted, or some other
possibly totally irrelevant-factor.
'Lie.detectors" are commonly used for pub
licity purposes Alfred de Marigny, tried and
acquitted without benefit Of the Gle -detector'
in British courts at Nassau, Bahamas, ar
ranged to be tested by Leonardo Keeler later
for the edi1cation Of newspaper reporters.
Bruno Richard Hauptmann considered utiliz-
ing this function" of the 'lie-detector," but
New Jerseys Gov Hoffman blocked him.
recent case in Chicago illustrates the COM
plications to which introduction of "liede-
tectors' can give rise Joseph Majczek who
had been convicted in 1882 for the murder Of
a policeman was cleared of guilt in 1945 after
a newspaper crusade by the Chicago Times.
(This saga was celebrated in the motion pic
ture, Call Northside 777.') AS part of the cru
sade the Times introduced Leonardo Keelers
Gle -detector findings. The case had sequel in
February, 1948, however. MajcZek charged that
State Representative Nelson had extorted S.
900 from him for pushing bill through the
Legislature to indemnify Majczek for his wrong
full Imprisonment. Finally, Representative
Nelson staged "lie-detector" show of his own.
Declining the proffered services Of Leonardo
Keeler, he hired those Of a rival, Orlando Scott.
Representative Nelson passed the test with
flying colors." Newspaper readers had their
choice of which 'lie-detector" to believe. All
the showmanship, Of course, did not affect the
legal aspects of the case in the slightest In
the business world, Chicago banks and other
institutions use the polygraph, but whether
they do so to detect thefts by employees, or only
to frighten superstitious employees SO that they
will not commit thefts, is moot point
Such examples might be multiplied galore,
but they all point to the same conclusion:
The interests served by the introduction Of
-detector' findings into any investigation
are not those of justice or the national security.

No Holiday for Death

Records compiled by the National Safety
Council provide tragic commentary on
the traditional season of good cheer. The
annual reports of deaths and injuries from
accidents of every sort show that actually
we are entering the most dangerous
period of1the year. What makes the situa-
ton more tragic is that relatively few Of
the accidents, especially those on traffic
filled streets and highways. are of the
unavoidable" variety.
According to the council the traffic
death toll during the ChristmaS-NeW Year
period is several times that of any period
of similar length Each year the news
papers carry feature stories and pictures
of holiday tragedies-package- e-laden Pc
destrians struck down on busy streets,
cars bringing sudden death to celebrants
at the Wheel hospital emergency rooms
filled with manned victims of their own
or others carelesSnesS.
At the risk of being repetitious, the
council has just reissued its list of safety
precautions for the Christmas season.
Topping the list is the warning that extra
holiday hazards require extra care" Next
is the suggestion that the spirit of good
will be put into practice in driving through
streets congested with cars and shoppers.
Pedestrians are urged to keep their minds
on the business of crossing streets instead
of becoming preoccupied. with gift prob
lens or loading themselves with packages
that obscure free view of traffic. And
with proper emphasis, the council pleads:
do not drive If you drink-and vice
versa" If more persons could be induced,
by constant repetition of these warnings
to heed the councils timely and good
advice, there would be more cause for JOY

Foreiqn EncIuves in India

The resolution adopted by the Indian
Congress Party proclaiming the necessity
of absorbing the French and Portuguese
colonies in India into the union empha-
sizes an issue which, though neither
major nor acute, requires tactful handling.
since touchy nationalistic and sentimental
factors are involved.
Those colonies are the vestigial rem
nants of grandiose bids for empire. The
Portuguese bid began with Vasco da
Gama's discovery of the Indies in 1874,
only two years after Columbus had dis
covered the New World for Spain. 'Acquir-
ing an enormously lucrative trade mo-
nopoly with the entire East, Portugal

in such venture, while it's trade monopoly

Dutch, British and French. Only here
and there did few shredS and patches OF
its empire survive, including several small
bits of territory on the west coast of India.
During the eighteenth century, France
and Britain fought for dominance over
India. France finally lost out. But in the
peace settlement after the Napoleonic
wars, Britain handed back five Of the
French settlements as a sop to French

and with a combined population of only

incorporation into the Indian Union would

Sir Charles Aubrey Smith

Charles Aubrey Smith was a great as
we'll as popular gentleman of the theater.
He started his career as a cricketer, and
stayed with the game for SIXTY years. The
date of his stage debut was 1892 His
stature-sx feet three-and his voice were
his original assets. With those qualifica-
tions he could not be dwarfed in any
company But without his keen incisive
intelligence he might have remained
secondary player all his days. 1t was the
power of his mind that made him a star.
Few of his contemporaries matched him
in his capacity to understand part. His
performance of Capulet in the Leslie
Howard Norma Shearer production Of
Romeo and Juliet" was case in point.
He gave that role-usually disagreeable
assignment-a truly beautiful interpreta-
ton.
Nobemen, as it happened, were natural
characterizations for him. Aubrey Smith
played princes, dukes, earls, field marshals,
admirals and other dignitaries as his audi
ences believed they should be played-with
an obvious nobility. The passing of time
put lines in his face that helped his work.
His sunset period" was his best. He was
sixty eight when he appeared in his first
"talkie" in 1880, and he hardly ever was
idle from that moment until the end His
last picture was Louisa May Alcott's Little
Women" Had he lived another few weeks
he would have bowed off" as Jolyon in
John Galsworthy's "Forsyte Saga"
It should be remembered in time to come
that Aubrey Smith was knighted for his
contribution to friendship between the

United States He valued and loved Amer
ica as he did his native Britain. In that

that sought to accumulate money, at the ex-
pense of their brethren, the Master Christian
knew that the golden rule must supersede the
rule OF gold If civilization hopes to survive.
Today the world is gripped with greed. Sell
fish, self-seeking men that hope to find happi-
ness by trampling on the rights of others are
destined to be sadly disiliusioned.
