Reserve Board Chief
SAYS Public CdnAff
Far Greater Taxes
BY the Associoted Press

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 27.-As-
serting that Americans can afford
to pay "far greater taxes" the
Federal Reserve Board chairman
put before Congress today a plea
for quick enactment of higher
taxes.
Never has our economy been
more prosperous" said Thomas B.
McCabe. Never have we been in
better position to absorb higher
taxes without impairing that
economy"
In his address before the Amer
lean Academy of Political and So
cial Sciences last night, Mr.. Nc
Cabe limited also that further re-
strictive action" can be expected
on credit buying.
Warns Against Tax Delay.
He said existing curbs on in
stallment buying and mortgages
might not be adequate to head of
imitation.
Mr.. McCabe, who formerly
headed the Scott Paper Co.. in
Chester, Pa, warned Congress not
to delay imposing new taxes.
when I read that it may be the
end of summer before a tax pro-
gram can be enacted" Mr.. Nc
Cabe said, II think strongly we
are wasting six or seven months
we can i'll afford to lose in the
battle of imitation"
Calls for Balanced Budget.
He said this Nation may be in
a garrison state "for years and
that it must start with a balanced
budget and sound fiscal program
He added:
OBVIOUSLY, if all-out war were
to come we would be faced with
an entirely different set of cir
cumstances and military require
ments. At this stage, however. we
must provide for a security pro-
gram that can be indefinitely sus-
tained."
The Reserve Board head said
failure to impose high enough
taxes during World War II was a
primary cause of deficit financing

Mccarthy Arranges
Shift in Committees,
Gusts Senator Smith

Senator Margaret Chase Smith,
Republican. of Maine, who has
been sharply critical of character
assassination" by members of
Congress. has lost her place on a
key Senate investigating subcom-
mittee.
She has been transferred from
that post to membership on a sub
committee on Government reor-
ganization in a shift arranged by
Senator Mccarthy, Republican, of
Wisconsin.
The Maine Republican was re-
ported to have protested that Sem
ator Mccarthy bumped" her
from the investigating subcom-
mittee. Senator Mccarthy told
reporters:
ITS not right to say she was
bumped. She was promoted to
another highly important job"
"Not Happy" About Shift.
The Wisconsin Senator, who has
charge of assigning minority
members to the subcommittee,
acknowledged that Senator Smith
was mot happy" about the shift.
Another source said that was put
ting it mildly and that Senator
Smith made that clear to the
committee in no uncertain terms
Both subcommittees are part of
the Senate Expenditures Commit
tee, of which Senator Mccarthy
is the ranking Republican men,
ber. Senator Nixon, Republican,
of California, who served on the
House Committee on Un-Ameri-
can Activities, was given Mrs.
Smiths place on the investigating
subcommittee.
Declaration" Recalled.
Senator Mccarthy said his ac-
ton had nothing to do with a
declaration Of conscience" which
Mrs. Smith set forth in the Senate
last June when the Wisconsin Re-
publican was pressing his Commu-
nists-in- Government charges.
In that declaration, Mrs. Smith
both Republicans and
Democrats and said she was mot
proud of the reckless abandon in
which improved charges have been
hurled :"
Some members of Congress felt
that blast was directed at least in
part at Senator Mccarthy.
Senator Mccarthy said, however,
that there definitely was nothing
personal" involved in his decision
to leave Mrs. Smith off the In
vestigations Subcommittee.

Mundt Indorses Plan
For Resuming Inquiry
Into Five-Percenfers
BY The Associated Press

Senator Mundt, Republican, of
South Dakota today backed a
Democrats proposal that the
Senate f1ve-percenter inquiry be
reopened to determine whether
influence peddlers" are getting a
cut from rich defense contracts.
''In fact" said Senator Mundt,
"the investigation ought to be
somewhat broader. We ought to
find out just how these defense
billions are being parceled out.
We ought to know exactly how
the Government is operating this
vast program.
The suggestion to reopen the
sensational five-percenter inquiry
of 1949 came from Chairman Hoey
of the Senate Expenditures Sub
committee which conducted the
original investigation.
The purpose then was to discover
whether improper influence had
figured in the awarding of Gov
ernment contracts. Senate
Hoey's committee decided that it
had.
The inquiry two years ago put
some high administration offici-
ais prominently in the headlines.
1t brought out, for example, that
President Truman's Army aide,
Maj. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan. ac-
cepted seven home freezers as
gifts from a company official who
had dealings with the Govern
ment through an Intermediary.
The investigation also brought
about the conviction on a perjury
count of John F. Maragon, who
once had a White House pass
Another result was the retirement
Of an Army major general who
figured in the handling of some OF
the contracts investigated.
| Senator Hoey told reporter he
feels it would be a good idea tc
take another look at the five per.
center situation ito see whether
influence peddling is being revived
as result of the contracts being
let in the defense program"

Mortgage Bankers
Told u. ). Must Lead
Worlds Oppressed
By Robert J. Lewis
Sfor S.off Correspondent

CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-The United
States must begin to lead revo-
lutions of oppressed peoples" in
stead of supporting "discredited
leaders" if we want to win out
against Communism, banker
and former chief of ECA missions
in Greece and Belgium believes.
Speaking before the midwinter
conference here of the Mortgage
Bankers Association of America
yesterday, John Nuveen. Chicago
investment banker, said:
eve have been backing too
many reactionary people abroad
who controlled the wealth and
the resources and who have no
program to benefit the people
while the Russians do have a
program that they pretend will
do so.
Wants Political Reforms.
Communism is going to win
out in many countries unless we
come up with a program to gain
the leadership of the downtrodden
by force alone"
Mr.. Nuveen served, with the
rank of minister, as chief of the
ECA mission in Greece during
1948 and 1949, and in the same
post in Belgium and Luxembourg
in 1949 and 1850. He is senior
partner in the investment bank
ing firm of John Nuveen & Co.
and is trustee of the University
of Chicago
He said that after he became
convinced the Greek government
was not concerned sufficiently
about the welfare of the Greek
people, during his service there
He urged that economic aid be
made dependent on political re.
forms. He said he could not con.
vince the State Department thai
terms should be laid down" te
the Greek government to achieve
such reforms.
Fayors European Union.
Mr.. Nuveen said Europes diff.
culties mainly arise from failure tt
unite and wipe away economic
political and military barriers, anc
that our own foreign policy ha.
not pressed strongly enough fol
such European union.
Earlier, mortgage bankers were
warned by an insurance company
executive that he doubted they
could expect higher premiums fol
mortgage loans in the periods
ahead in spite of a reduction in
the volume of such loans resulting
from the Government cutback ir

NoFormaI Agreements
To Be Soughtin P|even
Talks, Acheson Says
BY The Associated Press

Secretary of State Acheson has
assured Congress that American
French talks starting here Mon
day won't be for the purpose of
entering into any formal agree
mentS.
Chairman Connally said Mr..
Acheson made that point clear in
a statement yesterday to the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee. A similar statement was
given to the House Foreign At
fairs Committee.
Mr.. Acheson went to Capitol
Hill to brief" the committee
members on the two-day CONVEX
sations which President Truman
and other top officials will have
with Premier Pleven of France.
Senator Connally, who is chair
man of the Senate group, indi-
Gated that Mr.. Pleven will be told
America wants France to build
up her defenses quickly and will
stress that United States aid will
depend a lot on how and when
that is done.
Connally Stresses Speed.
1.-THE secretary and members of
the committee agree that it is i'm
portant that France as well as the
United States and other members
of the North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization should move more rap
idly than ever to increase their
collective military strength" Sen
ator Connally told a news con-
ference.
The French, in turn, are ex-
pected to want to discuss United
States military and economic aid.
as well as Frances position in the
tense political situation in the Far
East arising out of the Korean and
Indo-C China Communist fighting.
Senator Smith, Republican, of
New Jersey told reporters he is
concerned about the Communists
in the French General Assembly.
He said their numbers there indi-
Gates representation of 30 per cent
Of the population. He wants to
know what effect this may have
on French participation in West
ern European defense measures,
he said.
Senator Smith also disclosed
that he and other lawmakers,
whom he did not identify, are
considering sidetracking. for the
time being at least, a request by
India for 2 million tons of United
States wheat to help meet famine
threat.
Opposition Is Found.
Senator Smith said he had
found great deal of opposition"
to United States aid in view of
1ndia's differences with the United
States on the Red China Korean
issue. He added that Senate
debate on the issue, plus a strong
chance any aid-to-India bill would
be defeated, might be harmful.
The State Department as yet has
not sent the Indian request to
Congress.
Senator Smith and Assistant
Secretary OF State George c. Nc
Ghee discussed the matter in
formally yesterday with S:rate
Foreign Relations Subcommittee.
Chairman Gillette, Democrat, of
Iowa, said no bill was offered and
no decisions were made.

IL. ). Maintains Stand
On Citing Red China
As Korea Aggressor
By the Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Jan. 27-The
United States stood pat today on
its demand for a quick United
Nations vote condemning Com
munist Chinese aggression in
Korea, despite bewildering well
ter of new peace plans"
Backed publicly by President
Truman and both the House and
Senate, the American delegation
said it would oppose any substan-
tial changes in it's resolution
which, as now constituted, tags
Red China an aggressor; asks
U. N. Collective Measures Com
mittee to consider the next step;
and creates a three-man COM
mission to seek ways of ending the
Korean fighting and achieving
U. N. aims in that country by
peaceful means.
Both Canada and Israel cffe, ed
new ideas yesterday designed to
bridge the gap between this view
and a 12-nation Arab-Asian plan
for seven-nation conference, in
cluding Red China, to work out
a cease-f1re and decide other Asian
problems.
Due to Be Debated.
These are expected to be the
subject of debate in the 60-nation
Political Committee today. If
nothing else, this debate will delay
any vote until after the week end.
Sponsors Of the Arab-Asian plan
held private consultations last
evening and this morning to work
out a way of adopting at least
some of the proposals as formal
amendments to their own resolu-
ton.
Canada's External Affairs Min
lister Lester B. Pearson made six
suggestions for a compromise.
These were:
l. A conference at either New
Delhi or Lake Success within seven
days. The United States, Britain.
France, Red China, Russia, India
and Egypt would be represented.
Group to Handle Details.
2. Immediate reference to a
group composed of the United
States, Red China and the U. N.
Korean Commission of the task of
arranging cease-fire.
3. When these arrangements
are completed. the 7-nation group
would consider a peaceful solution
of Korean problems. including the
withdrawal of foreign troops.
4. The group would then proceed
to discussion of other Far East
ern problems.
S. During these discussions
other governments would be in
vlted to take part in those sections
directly concerning them.
6. The invitation should be
transmitted to Peiping and an
answer requested within 48 hours.
Israels Proposal.
Israel proposed enlargement of
the U. N. Good Offices Committee
to seek cease fire.
Both countries said. however.
they would support the United
States demand that Red China
be named an aggressor now. In
dia's Prime Minister Jawaharlal
Nehru has stated that such a
declaration would end the chance
for a negotiated settlement.
The United States view is that
a cease-f1re is a military question
and not fit subject for an inter-
national conference.
American Delegate Ernest A.
Gross also reiterated the Ameri-
can position that any conference
taking place after possible
cease-flre would have to include
representatives of countries di-
lectly interested in the problems
under discussion.
