BeaII Proposes Cut
In District Sales Tax

Representative Beall, Republi-
can, Of Maryland today proposed
that Congress consider reducing
the District sales tax to conform
in some degree with the cuts made
in the Maryland sales tax laws.
Mr.. Beall said he would seek
no action during the short session,
but will study the situation and
may introduce legislation in the
82d Congress for this purpose.
1--WE probably should do some
thing to level off the District sales
tax to make it more even with the
Maryland revised levy" he said.
Chairman Mcmillan of the
House District Committee indi-
Gated he would favor removing the
District tax from restaurant and
hotel meals costing $l25 or more.
Maryland has lifted its sales tax
from meals effective December /
Strong opposition to cutting the
District levy is expected to come
from some member of Conress and
District officials.
The District is raising between
$l3 and $14 million q year from
the sales tax.

LowenthaI' S Book on
FBI Utterly Biased

Senator Hickenlooper, Republi-
can, Of Iowa has castigated Max
Lowenthal's new book, THE Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation" as
IAN utterly biased piece of proga-
ganda" against the FBI.
Senator Hickenlooper, in a pre-
pared speech to the Senate yes
terday called Mr.. Lowenthal a
New Deal mystery man Of Wash
ington."
The author, whose book is
sharply critical of FBI methods. is
a New York lawyer and former
Government employe.
Senator Hickenlooper said FB1
Director J. Edgar Hoover has
been vigilant and for this he is OF
course condemned repeatedly by
the left-wing reformers who would
make America over"
Review of Book Assailed.
"Such biased attacks as those
made by Mr.. Lowenthal in his
book" he continued, should
serve to sharpen the awareness
of the public to the fact that
there are elements in the United
States who would rejoice greatly
if, through propaganda or other
wise, confidence in the great serv-
ice rendered by the FBI could be
SHAKER of 6oStrOJo6
Mr.. Lowenthal can write any
kind of book he wants to, I pre-
sumo, but certainly his objective
picture of the FBI appears to be
not objective but an utterly
biased piece of propaganda and
have no doubt it will be so
received by the American people. "
At the same time, the Senator,
assailed one of two reviews of the
Lowenthal book in last Sundays S
Washington Post, written by
Joseph L. Rauh, jr., Washington
lawyer.
He said the Post. describing Mr..
Rauh as a former Macarthur
staff officer and former deputy
housing director, "neglects to tell
all the facts -. such as, for ex-
ample, that he was chairman of
the National Committee for Demo-
cratic Action. or that in February
of 1850 he distributed to members
OF Congress speech in which he
distorted the work of the FBI."
Parallel Reviews Cited.
"One may well inquire" SEN
ator Hickenlooper continued
whether or not the writing of
Mr.. Rauh is his own, or is it from
the pen of Lowenthal, Felix
Frankfurter, or William w. Rem
ington."
James Russell Virgins, manag-
ing editor of the Washington Post
noted that parallel reviews of the
controversial book were carried in
the newspaper, one by Mr.. Rauh
the other by the Rev. Edmund A.
Walsh, S. j., vice president OF
Georgetown University, regent OF
Georgetown's School of Foreign
Service "and an authority on So
Wet Russia"
Mr.. Virgins said he believes the
caption identified Mr.. Rauh suf-
f1clently, without attempting to
give his biography.
We sought to give two points
OF view OF the book. and think that
the two reviews succeeded in CIV
ing the readers very satisfactory
estlmate OF the volume" Mr.. Wig
gins concluded.
