BIPARTISAN NEPOTISM

Democratic Congressman Jasper Bel of Missouri, who represents President Truman's home tthe Fourth) District, announced this year that he was retiring from Congress. However. what he didn't tell the voters was that he had put his married daughter, Vir- ginia Bussells, back on the payroll for the duration of his term.
 Following a nepotism expose last year, the Missourian yanked daughter Virginia off the payroll in a big hurry. This was before he decided to retire. But now that he isn't running for reelection and doesn't have to worry about adverse publicity, Virginia has been reinstated (as of July 15) at S2, 400 a year.
 Meantime, Republican Rep. Cliff Clevenger of Ohio also is perform ing some interesting sleight-of- hand in the payroll department. His secretary, Edgar A. Drake, is. paid $5,000 and works at the job.
 But what Clevenger's constituents doesn't know is that Drakes wife, Grace, also has been put on the payroll as full-time employee salary, $4,500 a year However, what she does-if anything around the office is a mystery AS one source close to Clevenger puts it:
 I've known MT Clevenger for a number of years and in all that time I've never laid eyes on Mrs. Drake in his office"

DULLES WOULD DELAY

These showed in detail how Mar GUS Wallenberg, head of the En- skilda Bank, had come to New York conferred with Dulles and his law firm, Sullivan and Cromwell, ard arranged a voting trust Tor the German owned Springfield plant for the balance of the war Furthermore it was arranged that if George Murnane, appointed vot- ing trustee for the company, should die, John Foster Dulles would name his successor.
 Later, through complicated process, the voting trust certificates were placed with Delaware cor poration "Providentia," owned by the SWedes. and then the shares of this corporation were put In another voting trust controlled by Dulles.
 Thus Dulles not only held the voting trust, but drew up the agree fnent and was also to name Mur- names successor.
 This secret agreement remained unknown to the U. s. Government all during the war. at time when Mir. Dulles was acting as foreign affairs adviser to Governor Dewey and as U. s. adviser to the United Nations He told no one in the Government about it.
 Today the matter comes up in Federal Court when the U. s Government will demand that the Wallenbergs of Sweden, star wit nesses in the case. be required to come to the United States and tes- tify.

 It was provided that the Swedes would give the plant back to the Germans after the war. To "cloak" the plant, the Swedes got a fee of $650,000
 All this was strictly secret. And during the war the SWedes pro- tested that they owned the plant, not the Germans.
 But toward the close Of the war, the U. s. Army found a false wall in a Stuttgart airraid shel- ter, behind which was a box of secret papers regarding the American Bosch deal.

Liquor Sales
In County At
An-Tirne HIGH

The net profit to Montgomery
County from the sales of IL
quor and beer will be $415,451.23,
according to preliminary figures
released last week by Charles B.
Busher, general manager for the
Liquor Control Board.
Total state and county revenue
and tax for the year ending June
30, 194S, amounted to $62O,313. 68,
broken down as follows: $34,976.37
Maryland State Sales Tax collect
ed; $169,SS6.O8 Maryland State
Alcoholic Beverage tax collected.
The $415,451.23 liquor and beer
profits to the county represents
an increase of some $45,56S.91
over the same period last year, an
all time high. Actual beer and IL
quor sales in the county during
this period totaled $3,2O7,416.22,
which is slight increase over the
overall sales of last year.
All profits derived by The Lii
quor Control Board are turned
over to the Board of County Com
missioners, which in turn reduces
the tax bill of every taxpayer
within Montgomery County. In
fact, if it had not been for the pro-
fit of The Liquor Control Board
this year, according to Mr.. Bus
cher, the tax rate would have to
have been increased almost $1.8O
per thousand dollar assessment.
At the present time The Liquor
Control Board is operating four
dispensaries and a beer warehouse
in Montgomery County, located re-
spectively in Silver Spring, Beth
esda, Rockville, Brookmont and
Linden.

that financing would be sound with

financing.
with these salient facts, the
decision not to allow the citizens

right to sanitation, appears not
only stupid but short-sighted poll
tically," the Mayor stated.
Since the Commissioners have
been able to reverse their decisions
so many times without too much
embarrassment maybe they can
find delicate way out of this one.
