Congress Is Asked to Right an Old Wrong
Seattle Times)

This session of Congress has opportunity to re- dress an unfair discrimination against group of loyal American women-some of whom are Seattle residents that has been perpetuated since World War l. It is Uncle Sams failure to give full service status to the women who served with the United States Army chiefly in the Signal Corps on overseas duty in Europe in 1917 and 1918
 After General Pershing had set up his headquart- CTS in France in 1917 he found his staff seriously handicapped by the of trained telephone operators who could speak both English and French. In re- sponse to Pershng's request the Adjutant General sent out call for women with these unusual quail ficatons and the summons answered almost over night.
 The group of women who volunteered - largely college trained sent overseas ana piaceo unoe the direction of the Signal Corps. They wore Army insignia subscribed to the Army oath of allegiance and were required comply with the Articles o1 war Their pay ranged from $50 to $125 month, out o1 which they provided their own uniforms
 At the close of the war, since they had not been given full Army status, they did not receive honor- able discharges and they not now enutleo to Ine benefits accorded by the government to other vet erans of World War l. including the women who served in the Navy in that war.
 For the past thirty years, these women, who com nrise the Women's Overseas Service League have sought legislation that would give them some o1 the benefits now enjoyed by the WACS of World War Il. They would in fact have been WACS ii there hao been such an organization in 1917 Their hopes were suoported by General Pershing, but opposed by the former War Department.
 This year numerous bis including one by this s+ates Congressman Mitchell CD and one by Sen otor Taft (7) have been introduced in Congress to redress this standing injustice. The number of those women has trimmed to the hundreds Ihelr nlea for more appreciave recognition deserves gen. erous consideration in the halls of Congress

TURNDOWN FOR FRANCO

It by thin seven-vote margn-42 to 35- that the Senators defeated McCarran proposal to cut Spain in for s5OOOOoOO of Marshall Plan aid Yet they did defeat it.
 There is broad room for argument on whether or not this nation ought to supply Franco Spain with cash by gift Military leaders offer persuasive contentious that Spain would be strategically in- valuable in the event of another European war; we ought they say buy guarantee of Francos friend ship by giving him dollar help. It is proper subject for debate.
 What is beyond debate, though, is the fact that aid to Franco ought not be extended through the Marshall Plan. That plan operates through council of participating nations to insure there will be no grounds for charges of American imperiaist domina- tion. Decisions to participation in the plan are left then to the nations themselves-and the nations of Europe want no part of Franco. Their attitude isn't a particularly strange one. To them Spain IS not just country and Franco is not just another

Why Probe Gambling?

Meanwhile Cannon has already received a S5,000 fine and two- year suspended sentence from the Superior Court of Asheville for operating gambling joints and be- ing in possession Of gambling de- vices.
 Meanwhile also, Cannon enjoys a neat little scheme whereby he is palsy -walsy with local police authorities. This, incidentally, is one of the big points behind the crime probe of Sen. Estes Kefau- yer of Tennessee. Kefauver, who is net a prudish person, is con- cerned about the big pay-offs that go to local police and judges for gamblers protection. When police take money from one group, they will also take it from another and our whole system of law en- forcement is undermined.
 In Asheville, local police judge, Sam Cathey, is also the registered agent for gambler Vaughn Cannon Cannon's property, valued at ur to S2O0,O00 in Buncombe County is registered "by Sam Cathey agent" the same police judge whc sits on gambling eases in Ashe- vile. In addition, Marshall J West, the Asheviils city jailer and a member of the city police force has also been on Vaughn Cannon's payroll. He drew salary of $15o a month from the big gambler as building supervisor at the same time he drew salary from the city as an enforcement officer.

 Congressman Doughton, when queried, said that he was direc- tor of the Northwestern Bank but that he had not intervened with the treasury department to Told up Cannon'S income-taX case; in fact, had never heard of the mat ter.

 of Pennsylvania was worried the other day, as usual, over govern ment spending. In one of his regular economy speeches, he told Congress that it's members were piling up debts that their children and their childrens children would have to pay.

 New Tax Bill
 AS everybody expected in this election year, the tax bill which the House Ways and Means Com mittee will unveil about June l will be kind and generous to the big political contributors who are expected to sugar the campaign kitties of both parties this faI
 Instead of repeating S6500O0O00 in excise taxes and providing for $1,000,000 of new tax revenue-as recommended by President Truman the final tax hill will transpose these figures.
 In other worGs, excise taxes will be repealed to the tune of Sl,000,- 100000 while increased revenues to offset this loss will be rougly $650,- 000,000-just the opposite of what the President requested.
 Committee members privately ad- init that the legislation will be a deficit" bill. To escape this ugly label in the press, the committee report may be window dressed to make it appear that the deficit can be offset by closing tax-evasibn loorholes.
 Regardless of what the report l may say, however, real fact is that 1 closing loopholes won't capture more than S15O,00O,O00 from tax evaders. Other provisions for ad- ded revenues likely to be approved by the Ways and Means Committee are:
 CORPORATION INCOME TAX l ES-a boost of around S265, 100000 l derived from a ? per cent boost (from 39 to 40 per cenD on cor porations making more than $lf3,- 900 year.
 1 STOCK DIVIDENDS-a proposed 1 10 per cent withholding tax on div idends is expected to add another $l50,000, ,000. However, this will not 1, be new revenue, but rather a new way of insuring the collection of obligated taxes often evaded. BACK TAXES BY INSURANCE COMPANIES s90, 100000 This al so does not represent new revenue, but an old debt that will be col- lected by tightening the tax laws.

FIGHT TO BE
TELEVISED
BY Alvin Moses

NEW YORK - CAMP - Murray
Goodman, publicity aide to genial
Harry Markson, will soon announce
that the Joe Louis-Ezzard Charles
heavyweight title bout, Sept. 27, at
Yankee stadium will be both broad
cast and televised.
1t is held by IBC spokesman that
the Joe Louis name will bring at
least a half million dollars into the
cash register, from which close to
$4,000 will go to the Federal gov
ernment in taxes and $4,000 to
state collectors.
Add to this another 100000 a
prominent brewer swill pay for TV
and broadcast privileges and one
sees how this compares with the
gross of $262,11S record purse hung
up by Pep and Saddler.
MATTER OF LEGS
For Joe Louis to regain his title
that he voluntarily gave up, his
legs will have to hold up. Willie
Pep moved around the paralyzing
punching Sandy Saddler on legs
that plainly grow weary after the
sixth round. Even stalker like
Louis does his best job on powerful
stems.

that the Louis-Charles' shindig is
just a case of the boss, Joe Louis)
facing his best employee Ezzard
Charles) might have to eat these
words.
Charles, is a good thinker and
talker, just behind Ray Robinson in
this connection.
Brother double "Z" Charles wants
to be heavyweight boss and also
