THESE DAYS
 B Y-- GEORGE :. SOKOLSKY
WATCH POINT FOUR.

It is only natural that nations that need credits should seek them, just as when man is broke, he may have to borrow or to ask for charity. Some men make it a rule never to lend, but if they want to help a friend, they give him aid. It is often cheaper and easier that way than ever to try to collect. It has become charity in our dealings with the Europeans, except that they have developed the habit of asking for more and more and more.
 Now that the Marshall Plan aid, through ECA, has done about as much as it can do, and the temper of the people of the United States and the Congress is to cut Euro pean aid, new device is being util- ized, principally by Dean Ache son, our fumbling Secretary of State. It is called Point Four" l"
 That phrase, of course, is mean ingless. AS collection of words it conveys nothing in itself. There fore, such wise men as Dean Ache son think it good AS long as mo- body understands it, the better it can be used as an instrument of deceitful policy. The reason it is called Point Four is because it was

by the purchase of stocks and bonds by individuals in Europe, trading in the market, and re- ceiving dividends and any benefits that came from increased values.
 Such investments were in com panies like Western Union, Ameri- can Telephone and Telegraph, St. Lawrence Power Company, United States Steel Eastman Kodak, Pierce Oil, Pennsylvania Railroad, Etc. The list is long; the totals aA small compared to $50,000, 0O,O00 of lend-lease or the $30,000, 900, GOO we have sent to Europe since the war.
 In 1899, it was estimated that the foreign investments in the United States amounted to $3,330,- OO0,OoO; at the end of 1883, they amounted to $5,400, 100000. When World War II (1939) started, they were up to $9,O64, 100000. Figures since then are confused because they are secret. The flight of cap- ital from Europe and Asia pro- vides sanctuary here for the possessors of liquid wealth, which they put into stocks, bonds, real estate, and even small businesses. A rough guess would be around SIP 2,000,0 100000. It may be higher.
 But the difference is this: Point Four is a give-away. It is charity. It is never to be repaid. It is an out-of- pocket handout by the Am- erican taxpayer.
 These foreign investments in the United States are altogether some thing else The European or Asiatic puts his money where it will be safe and gets a dividend in addi- tion. And so far, he has usually got his money back with increased value.
 Maybe, Harry Truman does not understand the difference between giving away your wealth and pru- dently investing it. The taxpayer will understand it quickly, if we ever get into this Point Four buSi- ness.

the fourth point in program Pre- sident Harry Truman pronounced last year. But even if you read the Truman speech, little is really clear.
 However, this point four has been very excitedly discussed in the British Press. For them, it is an- other way of getting American money into British trade develop ments; it is another way to make it possible for the United States to pay the bills and the British get all the commercial advantages.
 Point Four provides that the United States will underwrite the improvement of life and the increase of trade of the weak and backward areas of the world. There are plenty of. them. During the early days of the war, Henry Wallace proposed something along those lines and got laughed at, but Wallace's idea has now become incorporated in the national policy: We shall yet put a bottle of grade A milk on the breakfast sod of every Fiji-Island- CT!
 The American correspondent of the London Economist" very important Bri t is h publication, gives as reason for Point Four:
 ". The first is to revive those nations which invested their cap ital in the United States in it's early days, so that American rail- roads might be built and Ameri- can mines opened. ."
 Let's look at the record: from 1846 to 1914, considerable amount of foreign capital flowed into the United States for investment in American industries of all kinds. This was generally accomplished

 Just read the column and gain some informa- tion. It should be read by every taxpayer. It hits the British way of securing U. S. money to pay bills and gain commercial advantages, etc, money never to be repaid, outof pocket handout by the Ameri taxpayer.

Union Vs. Company

In previous years, the Simmons Company had supplied accountants to help workers make out their taxes, but Chief Organizer Mendes told workers that the company did not have their interest at heart and the union would save them money.
 Mendes also claimed that he and the two other union organizers were former Internal Revenue agents, knew the inside ropes on how to save money. Later it turn ed out that only one of the or ganizers ever had been connected with Internal Revenue, and then only as a file clerk in Washington.
 After T-Men unearthed the phony tax returns and in the course Of their investigation, Mendes and Bartholomew burst into the Tax Collectors office in the basement of the Post Office Building at Roanoke Rapids. Four T-Men were in the room: James White, Wood- row Blue, both deputy collectors, and agents Arthur Selby and Jo- seph. A. Taglieri of the 1ntelli- gence Unit.
 T understand you are looking for me-" said Mendes. You don't have to look for me. Here am"
 There being no comment, Mendes continued: T understand you are investigating the returns we made out"
 Agent Selby admitted this was

largely by swearing out false church contributions, travel expens es gambling losses, etc.
 Phony Church Contributions
 Gifts to churches in Roanoke Rapids, according to the income tax returns, were so high that one preacher remarked:
 If we had received all the con- tributions that have been deducted from the income tax returns around here, we wouldn't have to pass the collection plate agin."
 Treasury investigators secured scores of sworn affidavits from millworkers telling how the union organizers encouraged them to fill out fraudulent tax returns. Here is one example of a conversation between Toby Mendes and mill worker.
 Mendes: How much do you do- nate to church?"
 MlllWOTkeT. l QOll SO UO church."
 MendeS: DO you pass by a church on your way to work?"
 Worker: Yes"
 o: What church?"
 A: "The Methodist Church"
 @: Fine You gave a $500 dona- tion to the Methodist church last year.
 O: Do you ever gambler"
 A: No"
 o: Do you ever play cards for fun?"
 A: Yes"
 o: Fine. You lost $500 in gamb- ling debts last year"

Wire-Pulling in Washington

re-Pulling in Washington
 The fraudulent tax returns were for the year 1947 and the Trea- sury Department concluded it's in- vestigation in 1948. More than a year elapsed after that, during which Mendes apparently tried to carry out his threat. For no pro- secution was ordered in Washing ton.
 Union officials claimed that the company had inspired the tax probe that it was part of intimidation tactics used by the Simmons Com pany to prevent the organization of their mills.
 Internal Revenue agents, how ever, claimed that the company kept hands off. They said that Frank Williams, manager of the mill, told them he didn't want to have anything to do with the mat ter, didn't even want to hear any thing about 1t.
 Finally, after more than one years dickering and delay in Washington, the Justice Depart ment sent the case to Bryce R. Holt, U. s. Attorney in Greens boro, N. C., for criminal prosecu- ton.
 Holt, however, has informed the Justice Department that he is op- posed to prosecution. He justifies this on the ground that the three union organizers got no financial return for preparing fraudulent re- turns and that prosecution of the case in court would boil down to a battle between labor and man. agement
 That is the status of the case as of today.

but to most of the Blackfeet,
he is known as Turtle, the name
of endearment given him in in
fancy by his grandparents.
Returning to the reservation,
Angry Bull found that the buff
alo, which, during his youth, had
roamed the plains in great herds,
and which had provided the great
mainstay of his peoples subsist-
ence, had largely disappeared.
Devoting himself to a type of
hunting which had been relative
ly unimportant in earlier days,
he rode far into Rocky Noun
tains, deep into the area that is
now Glacier National Park in
Montana, in search of deer, elk,
moose, bighorn sheep and noun
tain goats. He experienced a
number of encounters with griz-
ely bears, several times narrowly
escaping with his life. He be ,
came widely known among his
people and neighboring tribes as
! a skillful and tireless hunter.
Few of his friends could match
his endurance on the game trails
or his uncanny accuracy wi h
firearms.
In his younger years, Angry
Bull was also known for hi S
skill as "a dancer in tribal cere-
monies, while throughout his life
he has taken prominent part in
the religious and ceremonial life
of his people.
At different times he h a S
owned the sacred Beaver and
other sacred bundles, as we'll as
several of the decorated medi-
cine lodges. He was a member
of the native tribal societies, the
Doves and Crazy Dogs.
Despite his advanced years,
!! Angry Bull is still a striking
specimen of the Blackfeet physi-
cal type. He stands over six
feet in height, is spare, but pow
erful and rugged in physique.

Angry Bull (Turtle). elderly
member of the Blaekfeet tribe,
is the portraiture subject feat
uring the 1851 calendar of the
Great Northern Ry. Co. The
calendar is being distributed ma
tionwide from the company's
headquarters at St. Paul.
The portrait is by Winold Reiss,

tribe that have been painted by
Reiss during his trips to Brown

The following sketch appears
upon the calendar as a descrip-

Angry Bull (Turtle) was born
about 1870, his youth spanning
the transitional years between
the old nomadic, buffalo-hunting
life of the proud and warlike
Blackfeet, and the newer, more
settled existence on the reserva.
ton.
His father, also Angry Bull,
was prominent Blackfeet war;
ior who lost his life in intertribaI
warfare before his son was born.
The son would, traditionally,
have followed his fathers foot
steps, but as the cessation of
hostilities between the Blackfeet
and neighboring tribes closed
this avenue of individual advance
ment, he and a number of his
fellow tribesmen served enlist
ments with the United States
Army at Fort Smelling, MINI.
There he became adept in the
use of firearms. skill that was
to serve him to advantage in flu

warrior father, bestowed upon
him in honor at Fort Smelling,
