authority of the Reconstruction
Finance Corp. to make new loans.
A Senate subcommittee has
charged the big Government
Agency with displaying favoritism

Senator Taft, a potential 1852
presidential candidate, charged
that five percenters and influ-
ence peddlers are still doing busi-
ness in Washington at the same
old stand"
New Spy Revelations Cited.
Labelling as a "whitewash" last
years investigation by a Senate
Foreign Relations subcommittee
of the controversial Communists
in Government charges by Sena-
tor Mccarthy. Republican, of Wis
consin, Senator Taft asserted:
There is no confidence that
Communist influence has been
eliminated in strategic Govern
ment positions. New evidence of
spies reaching into the most vital
secrets of atomic energy appear
daily in the newspapers.
Whether Or not Senator Nc
tCarthy's charges went too far, an
honest Government would have
|probed the charges to the bottom
and brought out every fact. In
stead the Tydings committee
adopted a complete whitewash
technique to prevent the facts

RFC Disclosures Assailed.
Senator Taft said the country
had been shocked by revelations
of influence in obtaining money
from the United States Treasury
through the Reconstruction FL

Here again. Senator Taft said,
"the chain Of influence leads to
the Democratic National Commit

The only really effective remedy

ton of the RFC, but its complete
abolition for the making of new

President Truman has proposed
in a reorganization order to sub
stitute a single director for the
present five-man RFC board. But
Senator Taft said:
mo one is convinced that any
agency of the present admins
tration can be cleaned up and
placed on completely honest
basis merely by some reorganiza-
ton and the substitution of one
man for five"
He attributed this to what he
called "a dangerous decline in po-
litical morality" adding that the
recent revelations have only con-
firmed the political corruption of
past years"

Senator Taft sailed into the

He said that when such groups

briefed by the Department "the

Poem OF The Week
THE GAME OF LIFE


In this great game of life,
Be careful how you start,
Don't boast about your money,
For it will play its part,
What we practice in our lives,
Becomes a part of us,
So start the game by doing right
In God be sure to trust.
Don't boast about your learning
All knowledge comes from God
If you'd begin your life Alright
Study the Holy word.
Don't boast about religion,
Just do the golden rule,
For actions in our lives count
much,
Vain words make us a fool.
When you have done the COLDER
rule,
Climb on that you may win,
Think of the words of Jesus,
You must be born again.
The infidel has his belief,
Christians must take stand,
Temptations in this game of life
Are strong on every hand.
We may not do as great men,
But we can do our best,
And when we have done all
we could,
The Lord will do the rest.
A crowded house and flowers
And resolutions read,
Don't always tell true stories,
About us when we're dead.
So in this game of life,
Beware, don't be cheat,
Remember when death comes
for us,
The life we've lived will speak

Republicans Differ On Building
Two Party System In The South
BY LOUIS LAUTIER


WASHINGTON, D. c. (NNPA)
Republican leaders differ in
their views on building an effect
i've two-party system in southern
states.
Differences range from outright
approval to criticism of the action
of Guy George Gabrielson, chair
man of the Republican National
Committee.
None of the Republican leaders
polled, however, expressed approv-
al of the speeches of Senator Karl
E. Munt, Republican, of South
Dakota, advocating merger Of
the Republican party with dissi-
dent Democrats and Dixiecrats.
The Executive Committee of the
Republican National Committee
voted at it's meeting last Decem-
Der 8 to make the organization
of a vigorous two-party system
in the South a long-range pro-
gram.
In accordance with a resolution
adopted at that meeting, Mr.. Cab
rielson appointed a seven-member
committee to assist Republican
organizations in southern states
to organize effective state groups.
Members of this committee are
John E. Jackson of Louisiana,
chairman; Representative Carroll
Reece of Tennessee, Mrs. Clifford
Mayes of Idaho, ]. E. Broyhill of
North Carolina, Mrs. Carl c.
Stearns of Texas, Wallace Town
send of Arkansas, and Mrs. Es-
telle D. Tanner of Missouri, all
members of the Republican Ma
tional Committee.
Commenting on the move for a
two-party system, Mr.. Gabrielson
said the Republican National Com
mittee's function is "organizational
rather than policy-making, and
purpose is to attain strong two
party system in the Southern
States"
Apparently, Mr.. Gabrielson had
reference to a request that Repub-
lican leaders make clear what
concessions they plan to make TO
southern Democrats and Dixie
Gratis.
He said Senator Mundt had been
most careful to clarity when
speaking that he is not speaking
for the party but simply giving
expression of his individual views.
Senator Robert A. Taft, Repub-
lican of Ohio, whom Senator Mundt
has mentioned as a potential
nominee acceptable to his pro-
posed coalition, made the follow
ing comment:
"I cannot see any proper crltl-
cism of the action of the Repub-
lican National Committee and Mr..
Gabrielson.
"For years we have been try
ing to build up the Republican
party in the South which, OF
course means the. building of a
two-party system. l have partic-
ipated myself in the effort and
spoken frequently in the South

So far the congressional inves.
tigation of tax scandals has beer
q one-way street, even though il
performed a public service with
its disclosures.
The investigators-members OF
a House Ways and Means Sub
committee-have taken a lot OF
trouble checking on employees oi
the executive branch of the Gov
ernment and on civilians who
have been linked wish tax cases
And the committee has forced
them to appear before it TO answer
questions in public hearings. But
this committee did not do the
same kind Of job when members
of Congress were involved.
At least two House members,
both Democrats, have been men,
toned as either interfering in the
tax fraud prosecutions or taking
an unusual interest in them. But
the committee did not force them
to testify.
Secret Hearing Cleared King.
And the committee gave it's own
chairman, Representative King,
California Democrat, special treat
ment when there were rumors
he had interfered in a tax case
in his own State.
He demanded his committee in

to whether Justice Douglas actu-
ally got the information direct
from the President or whether il
came from some one else. 1t could
have been misunderstanding as
to sources. But the mystery grows
as to why Mr.. Krock's informant
was so unequivocal in attributing
his statement to the President
In conclusion. however. the
magazine says it has been "un-
able to verify that Mr.. Truman
himself participated directly OF
indirectly in any offers to Gen
Eisenhower. None of the hall
dozen or more Democrats OF
prominence who at various times
have talked with Gen. Eisenhower
urging him to accept a Demo-
cratic nomination, was in a posi-
ton to say explicitly that the
President wanted the general tc
run"
The magazine says early reports
that the Krock story was inspired
by Taft Republicans to hurt Gen
Eisenhower can be discarded.
Doubts Move for Delegates.
AS to what Gen. Eisenhower will
do in the next few months. the
U. S. News and World Report
article suggests that he may not
go beyond a simple announce
ment that he is a Republican
The magazine gives its view that
he will run if nominated. but
will not lift a finger himself" to
get delegates.
The magazine points out that
Senator Taft has lined I'D a siza.
BILE number of delegates, and that
the generals reluctance to become
an active candidate will handicar
his supporters in lining UP unde.
cided delegations.
The article suggests that The
administration would like to see
the Republicans bypass Gen
Eisenhower and nominate some
ione else.
Giong back to 1948, when Dem
ocrats also were reported to have
offered Gen. Eisenhower their
party nomination, the Lawrence
publication says it can now reveal
that the general at that time
stated unequivocally that he is a
Republican.
MIR. Krock, who has refused to
disclose the identity of his in
formant, declined to comment on
that or any other phase of the
magazines report. He has named
the man as "a Northern Democrat
in an eminent public position. -
Justice Douglas was unavailable
for comment.
