1obey 10 Ask Inquiry
Into Charity Trusts,
Charges 1ax-Dodging
BY the Associated Press

BOSTON, Oct. 20. - Senator
Tobey, Republican, of New Hamp-
shire today prepared an appeal for
a thorough congressional investiga-
ton of the Nations charitable trust
fundS-some of which he described
as schemes to avoid taxes"
He said he would ask Congress to
limit the trusts which he declared
puts the tax burden on the little
people of the country
The statement was made at the
close Of three-day hearing yester-
day into operations of Textron, Inc,
a SIPS, 10000 textile firm with five
plants in the North and five in
the South.
Senator Tobey heard testimony
that the corporation or its presi-
dent, Royal Little, had founded six
trusts.
Mr.. Little testified to establishing
two charitable trusts with $500 and
some stock" in each.
Within II years one of these grew
to $4,500,000, Senator Tobey's sub
committee was told, and the second
to somewhere around a million
dollars"
Senator Tobey drew from another
witness, Bayard Ewing of Provi-
dence, r. l.. testimony that the
Raymond Foundation trust, sug-
gested by Mr.. Little, grew from S1O0
to $7,5000O0 in four years in addi-
ton to paying off q note of $74O, 600.
Mr.. Ewing identified himself as
sole trustee of the Raymond Founda-
ton.
What is this hocus-pocus?" the
Senator demanded. Were going to
find out and make 1t crystal clear
to the little people of this Nation.
And I think there1l be some right
eous indignation"
The Senator's statement was di-
rected chiefly at the fact that char
liable trusts are eexmpt from
Federal income tax.

New York, Oct. 23-Four
years ago, during Governor Tom
Dewey's western campaign trip,
l got wind of some speeches for
President Roosevelt by a New
York radio pundit named Will
liam S. Gailmor which aroused
my suspicious for two reasons.
They were familiar Communist
propaganda as of that time and
1t seemed to me that the name
Gallmor had to be fake be-
cause it has an English" sound
and yet, if it We're authentic and
not a synthetic alias, it would
hasten to tell all on the radio
have an ''e" on the far end of if.
l found, on my return from
the West, that this new genius
was getting good press in the
dirty papers, and yet found him
hard man to run down. OF
course, | could have braced him.
but assuming that l was right
IN my suspicion that he was no
good, l reckoned that he would
and put out his defense before
could put in the case against
him.
lie was working for a thing
called the Blue Network, which
has since become the American
Broadcastlng Company. Ed No.
bic, a rich New Dealer, who got
richer than ever working the
same side of the street with
1allmor, was about to put this
hremlinite on a national hookup
and he was telling himself, and
trying to tell me, that Gailmor's
stuff wasn't Communist medi-
cine at all but just good demo-
cratic doctrine. l can't saw
what was in Mobiles mind, but
l will say that l got off him
right there because l won't ad.

siiiart IN business and politics
as he was and be too dumb TO
spot the party line in Gailmor's
oratlons. He could have hired
private detectives to run down
Samuel Novick, the sponsor who
was showing Gailmor's propa-
ganda Just then. In fact, with

Winston Churchill is fond of
introducing quotation into his
conversations: The earth is a
generous mother She will pro-
vide abundantly for all her chill
dren, if they but cultivate her
soil in justice and in peace
This really was the theme of
the New York Herald Tribune's
Annual Forum this year, which
was devoted to conversation. All
the distinguished speakers
warned the American people
and the world population-of
the fate in store for them un-
less they stop doing injustice to
their foster mother, the earth.
The concept of Justice" cannot
be confined merely to relations
between contemporary men. 1t
involves man S relations with ma
ture with whose beneficient for
ces he can cooperate or not, thus
himself, his generation and his
progeny.
Rich nations squander, leav-
ing their descendants poverty.
This is true of the United States.
Although we are the richest ma
ton in the world" in terms of
production and average income,
we are not nearly as rich ma
tion as we were $50 years ago
in our basic capital, the land.
One speaker remarked with
considerable asperity that,
whereas all the Presidential can
didates were guaranteeing the
farmers cash income, none
was guaranteeing sustained pro-
duction from the farmers land.
Although speakers from the
Governments conservation a.
gencies could point to great i'm
provement in land practices,

especially through the voluntary
cooperation of farmers with the
Soil Conservation Service, Louis
Bromfield who operates the
l,000-acre Malabar Farm, ia
nous for its conservation prac-
tees, said-I think correctly
that less than 10 per cent of the
farmers of this country were
good farmers" from the
viewpoint of conservation.
In the long run, the prosperity
of every nation and civilization
itself depend upon the land. Half
of our entire economy is based
upon the products of the land,
as was pointed out in the Forum
by Fairfield Osborn.
China and the Near East are
impoverished countries today
because of wicked agricultural
committed generations ago.
Goat culture still devastates Pa
leStlne except in the Jewish a.
reas, as it devastated Italy
years ago. The population of the
world has increased 300 per cent
since l776. And for the first time
in history there are no new lands
to cultivate.
This problem lies at the CEN
ter of peace or war-and the
issue of socialism versus pri-
vate enterprise. If Russia, which
has land resources in proportion
to population almost identical
with ours, preserves them more
competently than we, she will
win the race in the long run. For
all countries which become
impoverished Of basic wealth
become Socialist of necessity. as
the poor family must budget
and discipline its members,
while the rich can afford each
more unlimited freedom.
