IA Chinese revolutionary in long
gown.
He is Mao Tze-tung, chairman
of the Central Government of the
Peoples Republic of China. He
also is chairman of the Central
Committee of the Chinese Com
munist Party, chairman of its
Political Bureau and chairman of
the Military Council of the gov
eminent his party dominates.
This makes him the nearest
thing to boss the Chinese people
have had since the heyday Of the
Manchu empire $50 years ago.
AS such, Mao is the potential
leader, in the name of commu-
nism, of more than a billion Asiat-
ics-the restless half of humanity.
Until recently the Western
World paid little attention to the
fact that this quiet, thoughtful
man had been for % years the
most important Communist in the
most populous nation on earth.
In 1949, however, Mao's Commu-
mist liberation army defeated
the forces of the recognized gov
eminent of $50 million Chinese
and forced it to withdraw from
the Asiatic mainland to the Island
of Formosa. Only four years be-
fore, Macs rival and enemy,
Chang Kai-shek, had been pro-
claimed the most powerful ruler
of modern China. What had
happened?
Like most of the people he rules
and threatens to dominate, Mao
TIE -tung was born a peasant, in
a family rooted to the ancient
ways of the Orient. These ways
were part of a system which en-
riched a relative few but which
kept an enormous segment of the
human race in feudal misery.
Such a system produced its rebels,
and Mao Tze-tung is a rebel who

Invites Tax Cuts

Bound up in this single pack
age appropriation bill is not only
the matter of cutting Government
expenditures, but also an answer
to possible tax reduction-parti-
cularly the so-called wartime ex-
ise taxes. If Congress. in this
omnibus bill, can knock a billion
or two, or three or four. off the
budget total, there would be lee
way for cutting billion dollars
off revenues, in the shape of re-
duced or eliminated excise taxes.
Impelled by rising out
cries for relief from the excise
taxes on transportation, commu-
nications, toilet articles, luggage,
ladies bags, fur coats, jewelry,
movie admissions, ETC., President
Truman not long ago recon-
mended excise tax reductions
running up to more than $500
million. But the President said in
effect: mo excise tax reductions
unless I am given offsetting tax
increases (on corporations, es-
tates and gifts and closing of
loopholes in the existing tax
laws"
Oppo onents of the single
package bill are speaking today
about the "impossibility" of in
Guiding the foreign-aid appropri-
ations in the bill. They point out
that the bill authorizing" Mar
shall Plan funds must pass Con-
gress and be approved by the
President before Congress can
actually appropriate these funds.
Mr.. Cannon plans to get the ON
nibus bill before the House by
March 27, and to get it through
that body by the end of April or
the first of May. The ECA au-
thorization bill is still before the
House Foreign Affairs Commit
tee. So the critics of the omni-
bus bill shake their heads and
say it will really not be single
package bill, because these ECA
appropriations are left out, and
wouldn't that be too bad? AS a
matter of fact, the House can
pass the omnibus bill and send it
to the Senate, where it will be un-
der consideration for consider
able time. and the ECA appropri-
ations chapter can be added to
the bill while it is before the up
per house-and so it becomes a
ingle-package bill again.

SENATOR IS TABBED JUST
 PLAIN LIAR
Hearing on MeCariY's Charges of Commies in
 State Dept. Opened

WASHINGTON. March 8-R-- Senator Mccarthy (R-Wis) charged today that Dorothy Kenyon, whom he identified as State Department employee, has been affiliated with at least 28 Communist front organi- zations."
 She promptly called him "liar." :"
 The State Department also denied McCarthys statement before Sen ate committee that Miss Kenyon is now with the Department as an American representative on a United Nations Commission. Her three year term expired in Decem- Der, the Department said, adding that the LIN. job had been her only connection with the Depart ment.
 The 62-year-old Miss Kenyon, a former New York City judge who is now practicing law there, accused Mccarthy of taking cowardly re- fuge in his Congressional immunity to smear innocent people," She said she had fought Russian delegates in the LIN. flor years"
 Mccarthy made the accusation before a Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee at the opening of an inquiry into McCarthy's charges that a Communist spy ring is op- erating in the State Department.
 The hearing got off to an up- roarious start with Chairman Tyd- ings (D-Md promising Mccarthy;
 "You are going to get one of the most complete investigations in the history of this country"
 In the Senate recently, Mccarthy detailed the cases of 81 persons he said are bad security risks. He named no names but said they either now or formerly were in the State Department.

HOUSE VOTE DOESN'T
 MEAN TOO MUCH ON BILL
By JAMES NARROW

WASHINGTON, March 8-R'-- Alaska and Hawaii have moved a step nearer statehood. That doesn't mean they'll get it, at least this year.
 In weeks time the House has okayed statehood for both of them. Unless the Senate also approves, and it may not, the House action means nothing.
 Next year therell be a new Con- gress. And, in a new Congress, what either House did in a previous Con- gress doesn't count.
 In that case, the two Territories will have to start from scratch again. Both have been seeking state hood a long time.
 Hawaii's principal industries are sugar, pineapples, cattle, dairy pro- ducts, truck crops, fish, coffee. Alaska's chief industries are furs, lumber, mining, fishing.
 The people in both Territories have voted in favor of statehood. Congressional committees have in vestigated the problem. The Demo- cratic and Republican parties have promised statehood for both Terrl- tories in their party platforms. The President approves.
 Real pressure to get the job done began in the middle 193O's. First real action came in 1947. Tn that year the House voted to let Hawaii come in. The Senate has never voted. So nothing happened.
 This year the House now has voted for Hawaii again and, for the first time, for Alaska too.

Local Government No. 1 on Interior's $ Program, Says
 Assistant Secretary

SAN FRANCISCO, March 8-lR- Alaska and Hawaii are ready for statehood and they should have it, Assistant Secretary of the Interior William Elmo Warne said here yes terday.
 Warne, in San Francisco to ad- dress the North American Wildlife conference, said statehood is the first point in the Interior Depart ment's four-point program for de- velopment of Alaska.
 Forming the northern Territory as so strategically important to na- tional defense" Warne said.
 We need local government in Alaska-not absentee government.
 "The United States is now operat- ing Alaska like puppet on the end of a string. Washington is far, far away While the work of the fed eral government has been relatively good in Alaska, it cannot operate things there as a local government should.
 Alaska is mature enough to con- duct it's own affairs"
 Point two in the development pro- gram, Warne continued, is a settle ment project and adequate enabling legislation to encourage agricul- tural use of Alaska lands.
 He said point three calls for program of economic development tailored to Alaskan needs that vii encourage business and industry 1T the use of Alaskan resources-ir Alaska.
 Point four, said Warne, is tho settlement of native claims II Alaska ito do justice to the Indians and to give clear title to land fol the orderly development of the Ter ritory."
