Maryland Chamber Of Commerce meeting Sentiment for Sen ator Tydings is such that no one dares run against him on the Dem- ocratic ticket President Tru- man would like to persuade Bob Patterson, ex-Secretary of War, to go to Austria as U. s.

 Assistant Secretary of State Ed Barrett, resting from McCarthy's investigation, rescued capsized boates in the Potomac before his departure for England recently .. A schoolteactor, herding flock of children through the capitol, spied Senate page Bert Wissman and gushed, "Oh, look at that nice boy It must be wonderful to have your job and see all the senators. ]" Nav" replied Bert, T don't think much of it." .Quoth an i'm portant member of the Republican national committee: Bud Kelland and Harrison Spangler and that crowd are living in the past. The party needs new leadership. Taft completely dominates Congressional policy. The Davenport liberal group will not get anywhere, and besides it's just a move to build up Senator Lodge for President. If Republican leadership were smart, it could pick up the ball and run with it on civil liberties, but that isn't going to be the way it is in the Senate fight on FEPC." Turner Smith, crack lawyer for the Justice Departments tax division, instructed embryo lawyers at Notre Dame recently on how to enforce the tax laws. Among other things he revealed that the number of cases sent to the Just ice Department for criminal pros ecution has jumped from 79 in AZ to APO in '49 Wartime evasion on the part of taxpayers accounts for the increase . A strong move is under way to make Henry c. Her, chairman of the U. s. En- ployees Compensation Appeals Board, President of the A. F. of L. American Federation of Government Employees. Her is also being eyed for the chairmanship of the U. s. Civil Service Commission.

 It is very desirable to have this independent, non- political study made by two competent private agencies at the same time that the government itself is digging into the problem. Each independent effort provides

many corporations are reporting their 1949 net in- come at a-time high levels The typical state ment seems to indicate profits trfle under 948, but still quite near the high-water mark.
 On the basis of these high net earnings, is entitled to conclude that traditional system of free enterprise is as healthy and successful it ever has been. Good profits an extended period of time may certainly be regarded as one important yardstick when passing a judgment on our economic system.
 Side by side with this showing, however, is the fact that strkingy large share of people depend their income. This was brought out clearly by U S.. News and World Report which has tabulated the data in it's current issue This shows that in 21 States the people get more money from Federal State and local governments than they do from manufacturing pay rolls.
 In Is additional States, this calculation discloses, government payments to citizens aggregate more than half of manufacturing payrolls. Taking the country as whole we find that government payments to indi viduals total $28 OOOOOO0OO year. while manufacturing payrolls come to $46 900 100000.
 While we have healthy and prosperous national economy quite obviously, do not any longer have an economy that can be called overwhelmingly capi- talist in character When payments to the citizens bulk larger than the total income derived from agriculture as they do have to recognize that ours mixed economy not the free enterprise system of generation and more ago.

Public Needs, Facts

Az ase sla epI uuhCP INlSuS' rI oSto Johnson also claims that under his economy program the Air Force will have $500 planes with l,25l more new planes in the fiscal year 1850, and another 1883 new planes in the following year. But what the Secretary of Defense didn't explain was that these fig ures include trainers, transports, and all other types.
 Actually the Air orce today has only 3,400 first-line planes. This IS the hard, unacceptable fact. Un- der the 70-group Air Force, on the other hand, as recommended by the Finletter report, it should have G. 369 first line planes.
 These are the facts regarding the nations air strength. It may be that Secretary Johnson is right and that in view of the rapid de- velopment of jets, rockets and other secret weapons, we should not spend too much money on planes which soon may become obsolete. That is a matter for the experts to judge.
 Until they make up their minds, however. the country is entitled to know exactly what the defense picture is.

Too Few B-36's

Johnson also told newsmen that the B-29 bomb groups had been doubled, thus giving the impression that the Air Force now has as many planes with 48 groups as it would have with TO of the smaller groups. In other words, B-29 groups used to have 30 planes. Now, John son said, they have 60.
 But the Secretary of Defense didn't give the whole story. He didn't explain, for instance, that Is of the extra planes with each group of sixty are tankers. They fly for refueling purposes, have no combat value. Furthermore each group has been authorized 20 tank CTS, though they have only l5 Moreover, the B-29s are fast be- coming obsolete and are supposed to be replaced with B-50's. How ever only one of the nine groups has actually been replaced with B-50s so far.
 In addition to the B-29s, the Fin letter. report recommended 7Ot "yery heavy" bombers. This referred to the prospective B-36. which at that time had not been tried and tested.

Deception Figures

It should be recalled, of course, that it was President Truman, not Secretary Johnson, who flouted the Congressional vote that the Air Force should be 70-groups strong. Johnson wanted 54 groups, but Truman cut to 48.
 But perhaps because of super loyalty to his chief, Johnson has not been frank with the nation regarding the real status of our air strength. Here is case in point.
 One of Johnson's most important statements on U. S. air strength was given to the press on Feb. "A for release-Johnson explained to newsmen-at T pm., Feb.25, in or der to give his friend, Arthur Krock, time to break the story in the New York Times
 In this statement, the Secretary of Defense claimed that Air Force personnel had now surpassed the figure of ,000 men set for it in the Finletter report-the study made by Tom Finletter and other experts as to what our air strength should be-
 When you scrutinize Johnson'S statement carefully, however, you arrive at somewhat different facts While it is true that Air Force personnel now totals 4l5,000 men the Finletter figure of 40l ,000 mer provided that ground services-re- pairs, upkeep of airfields, hangars etc.-be done by the Army. Nov the Air Force must furnish its owr ground services, hence 1t need more manpower.
