ANOTHER RACKET

special Assistant Postmaster General has re- signed accurately, fired by Postmaster Gen. eral Jesse M. Donaldson = after disclosure that he worked a smart scheme for buying and reseng books of special commemoration stamps issued by the Post Office Department. Washington newspaper says Harold F. Ambrose confessed that he had received a total $392 900 from stamp specuatorsa nd had paid out $177000 in profits" to his accomplices in the shenanigans Ambrose is nephew by marriage of Sen. Joseph OMahoney, Wyoming Democrat who, pre- sumably got him his job as official in the Post Office Department. Senator O'Mahoney, upon learn ing of the operation insisted that Ambrose go to his superior and make clean breast of it'
 At this writing, specific violation of law has been revealed It is just another instance of dis gusting breach of trust and of high official posi-
 on for what the individual could make of it. Ambrose steps to one side to join the happy and undsturbed throng of others who have made good thing of government connection or influence, by means of 5 per cent commissions deals, outright sale of infu- ence special fees lobbyists and host of other smart little schemes The postage stamp deal merely is the latest such racket.

ment by known Communists, whose party membership could not be proved without their consent, con- tinued to dig into the record. While much was discovered, little could be established, for what these men were engaged in was conspiracy, internationally directed.
 Their trail might be uncovered, but it could not be established by the rules of evidence applicable 4inA court of law. Only when they fumbled, or when one of them broke from the crowd, and stated facts under oath, was it possible to publish the already known facts. The principals in this business, such men as George Mink, J. Pet CTS, Gerhart Eisler and others whom even now I cannot name with provable evidence, were clever, trained men.
 The most damaging contribution to the subject has thus far been made by John Peurifoy, Deputy Under-Secretary of State in charge of Administration. His statement should have shocked this nation. When Maximilian Harden, the Ger man journalist, called attention to similar camarilla in the Kaiser'S Court, involving Prince Eulenburg, it shocked and astonished the world. Yet, in this generation, in the Un- tied States, charge that 9l en- ployeeS of the State Department were dismissed for being homo sexuals passes with little excitement.
 Perhaps the reason is that the word, homosexual, is considered bad. It is not the word that is bad; it is the consequences of the deed that lay the individual open to blackmail. He is ashamed; he is frightened; he has become accus- toned to secrecy, conspiracy, lying. He is always subject to backmail.
 MT. Peurifoy Said, in giving the figure 91:

Never before has the State De- partment been attacked as violently as during the past ten years. The attacks did not begin with Sen- ator Mccarthy of Wisconsin, nor will they end with his current re- ports. The attacks began really in 1933 when we recognized Soviet Russia. They were intensified with the startling "Amerasia" case, in which 100 files from the State and other departments were found in the offices of this ft-Wing maga- zine in which was also situated photographing equipment. That case was hushed up.

Taxation HumOr

High taxes brought a fusillade of forensics from Congressional Re- publicans last week.
 Suppose young man decides to propose" opined Congressman Bob Rich of Pennsylvania. He has to pay a 20 percent tax on the en- gagement ring. Then another tax on the wedding ring. And suppose in due time they acquire on off, spring.
 Then the taxes really start-20 percent on baby oil, baby powder baby lotion and baby creams"
 Nom and Sis also had a defender in Representative Les Arends of Illinois And when the tax gougers made up their sucker list" Arends said, you ladies were placed at the top and you have been there ever since.
 These are not luxuries'," con- tinued Arends, referring to toilet articles and cosmetics. "The Am erican way of life has made these articles as essential to you women as shaving to menfolks. The truth is that the Washington ax-masters regard you womtn as a soft touch"
 Rep. Edith Nourse Rogers of Mas sachusetts, not to be outdone, got in a plug for the menfolks. From the time they get up in the morn- ing men pay tax on everything, she said, their pajamas. Their bath soap and shaving lotion. Their razor and hair tonic. .Ev- erything they eat for breakfast. And that all-important smoke"
 Democrats seemed to enjoy the show as much as Republicans until COP Rep Hugh Scott of Pennsyl- vania tearfully recited:
 No baby oil for you, young man, Bareback babe, with cheeks Of tan By the rule of Uncle Sam
 You're a luxury, little lamb. The skin we loved to touch with
 powder
 We sadly pat while you yell louder So now you know, my little man, Why mamma votes Republican"

Byrd Battle

The Senate hasn't seen the end, Of the feud between Minnesota's bree- zy. young Senator Hubert Humph- rey and Virginia's apple-cheekeo Senator Harry Byrd. Humphrey is still trying to sprinkle salt on Byrd's tail.
 The brash Minnesotan raided Byrd,s fayorite nest, the Senate Economy Committee, with charge that instead of saving money It was wasting money. He pointed out that the committee hadn't even met for two years.
 This brought the Byrd forces to the Senate floor in full array. More Republicans and Dixiecrats turned out to defend Byrd than listened to the debate on the Marshall Plan and Atlantic Pact. One by one they lambasted Humphrey, who couldn't get a word in edgewise. When he finally gained ehe floor.

rights and freedoms as requisites
for a just and lasting peace as
sumes an even greater Importance
today as the United Nations is

armed aggression"
The proclamation said that the
firm establishment of rights and
freedoms can be obtained only
through common understanding
of the moral objectives Of the
United Nations and through faith
in human values" and declared
