Capital Comment

at the highest peace time peak
in the history of the country,
the President has asked the
Congress for an increase of
six billion dollars over the pre-
sent tax law enacted by the
Both Congress.
While it is true that the be-
havior of Russia is requiring
this country to expend huge
sums for the maintenance of
an adequate military program
and several additional billions
under the Marshall Plan to
stop the spread of Communism
in Europe, it is nevertheless
true that more than the six bill
lion asked for by the Presi-
dent will be expended in the
carrying out of certain Social
istic reforms contemplated in
the United States.
This money will be raised by
many and varied types of taxes,
both direct and hidden, from the
people of the forty-eight States
of the Union, and, while the
amounts will vary in the diff
ferent States, depending upon
their population, the ratio of
industry, etc, in every State.

CONGRESSMAN WILLIAM
M. COLMER


Both branches of the Con-
gress are slowly becoming or
ganized before getting down to
the real work of legislation.
The Administration is taking
every precaution to see that
the committees are so set up
that the Administrations pro-
gram car be enacted with the
least possible friction.
However slow the Congress
may be in becoming organized,
the citizens of the United States
may be sure that there will not
be too much slowness in the
enactment of a new tax pro-
gram. The Constitution pro-
vides that all taxes, as well as
all appropriations must be mi
tiated in the House of Repre-
sentatives. Tax laws are worked
out and reported by the Ways
and Means Committee of the
House. The House leadership
has seen to it that the six va
cancies to be filled on that
committee were filled with pro-
administration members. There

confident of being enabled to

President Truman hoped to

sage what the Supreme Court
apparently has failed to do-fix
once and for all in the minds of
the coastal states the fact that

eral government.
The high court has ruled to
this effect, but the coastal states
and those with large underwa-
ter areas on which oil might
crop up will make an attempt
in the next Congress to pass
legislation which would give
these rich properties to the
states.
Mr.. Truman actively is OPP

point out that the United States
is using more oil than at the
peak of the war effort, that
much of it comes from such far
off places as Saudi Arabia, the
West Indies and South Ameri-

would be cut off.

maintain its oil reserves in the
coast lands and the president
will ask that the oil be pre-
served for the lamps Of peace.

Courts Replace
Banks As Schuct's
Pursuit In Life
BY TOM REEDY
APP Newsfeatures

BERLIN-For almost a half
century, DR.. Hjalmar Schacht
couldn't stay out of banks.
Now he can't stay out of courts.
The high-collared bellicose
banker is in a fair way to be-
coming the most-tried man in
history. The Stuttgart deNszi-,
fication Ministry says it will try
him again as a major Nazi
Offender" He was Hitler's

ident of the Reichsbank. He
was convicted once and sem
fenced to eight years. A Ger
man appeal court set that aside
The ministry of Identification
appealed from the appeal and
has the power under the de-
Modification law to keep trying
a man as long as it doesn't like
the decision.
Theo. Hall, chief of the Amer
lean deNazification branch for
military government, says the
U. S. official position is that it
is playing hands off in the
Schacht affair. Nevertheless,
Charles M. LaFollette, U. S. mil
itary governor at Stuttgart,
hailed the German ministry's
decision to retry the banker as
a good thing. He said it showed
a German determination ITO
stamp out" Nazi faint.
Schacht is out of Jail for the
first time since 1914. The bank
er, now in his seventies, still
possesses the mental and phys
ical vigor that carried him to
the top of the financial world of
Europe many years ago. He is
the man who pulled Germany
out of her unbelievable finan-
cial chaos in the early l920's
and Hitler's logical choice for
his cabinet in 1888.
Schacht says he stopped play
ing Hitler's game in 1888. 1t is
true he shut off more funds for
ornaments then. Soon he was
out as president of the Reichs-
bank. Walter Funk took il over
and now is serving life as a war
criminal.
In 1914, the Nazi security po-
lice took Schacht into tow as
politically unreliable and threw
him into Flossenburg concentra-
ton camp. He was liberated by
American troops, only to go in
to the jug again as a war crimes
defendant. At Nuremberg. in the
trial of the big 81" Schacht
won an acquittal AS soon as he
moved to Stuttgart, the Ger
mans grabbed him and he was
in Jail again for trial as a Nazi.
Schacht has maintained the
most bristling kind of defense.
He said he was anti-Nazi, usu-
ally shouted it. His fierce tenn
per cuts loose at will with a
fine disregard of whom it is
aimed at.
The Germans don't particu-
larlv like Schacht. but they
don't quite understand how he
can contirtue to be going on
trial all the time. To them it is
an unnecessary stirring up of
past issues. 1t also is a little baf-
fling to them as thew see their

The Male Angle
Accessories for School Wear
By Harry Keene

Accessories, which include shirts,

which add the finishing touches
to basic ensembles; they add color
pickups, and they determine, to
a great extent, whether young
man is well dressed or badly put
together. Again. there are differ
ences in accessory choices, de-
pending on the school of your
choice, its customs and climate.

ern undergrads rate Oxfords with

lars in white, blue, number one.

tells with spread collars, candy
stripes with tab or round point
collars.
Midwesterners like Oxfords and
broadcloths in both spread and
button-down collars in whites and
pastels. Their Southern contem-
poraries like these same fabrics
and collar styles, and in addition
cast votes for striped Oxfords with
button-down collars and broad
cloth shirts with long point col
lars.
Neckwear choices are, to a great
extent, a matter of taste, but gen.
orally speaking, Eastern under
grads prefer neat figure foulards,
small prints, and rep stripes, while
moving further westward, figures
tend to get larger, though never
gaudy. Both our-in-hands and
