UNDER THE DOME

Congress comes in for lot of criticism, but it's important to note that this Congress has just abolish ed tax-free exemption on it's own expense accounts. This will cost Congressmen $500 a year-at time when all other salaries are going up. Political pundits say it looks like deaf between Senator Taft and ex-Governor Stassen. Stassen will corral delegates in the north west, but in the end turn them over to Taft. In return Stassen would get the VP spot or a top job in the cabinet. Sen. owen Brewster, Re- publican, is trying to persuade fel- low Republicans in West Virginia to nominate eX-Secretary of De- fense Louis Johnson, a Democrat, for Senator next year. CThe two have worked together sub rosa for long time as friends of Pan Am erican Airways). Senate inves- tigators, checking reports of wide spread gambling by servicemen, around Great Falls, Mont, found a great deal of prostitution, but not much gambling.

TIME TO THINK OF 1852

The year 1851 is moving toward its end without so far developing the third World War or the other misfortunes that were predicted by the pessimists
 There has been no collapse of public morale and the younger generation, despite the complaints of their elders, to be developing normally These facts should not be overlooked in connection with news items which naturally play up the unusual witl- out expressly recognizing the great number of mon and women who play the game of life according to sound and fair rules. }j
 We are not vet ready to welcome the advent -oI l952 or to suggest that those who wish to plcn their lives should get down to the business of making resolutions. We will say, however, that individuals can greatly improve themselves by giving serious consideration to a program" to be followed in an effort to attain desired goals.
 There is a great tendency on the part of most people live from day to day without any conscious attempt to follow a pattern based fundamentally on

TWO-WAY TAX JOB

Here is another chapter in the long history of income-tax develop ments which ought to be inyestigat- ed. This one pertains to western Massachusetts where Clifford Akey recently resigned as deputy col- lector Previously, Denis Delaney was indicted as Collector of Inter- nal Revenue for Massachusetts.
 This column has unearthed in- formation that Akey, who has now switched from income taxes to act ing postmaster at Greenfield, Mass, has been operating tax-counseling business at the very same time he was collecting peoples taxes. Akey also operated an insurance busi- ness on the side and some clients who received tax advice seemed to have followed the natural impulse to take out insurance policies with the tax collectors company.
 Queried on the telephone, MT. Akey told this story: He had help GU HIS uc46iiDOio Hllll tliCu tdA returns when he first joined Inter- nal Revenue in 194l, he said. but when it took too much of his time, he had turned his tax-counseling business over to his secretary, Miss Elizabeth Vitro.
 Significantly, Miss Vitro contin- ued to be Akey's secretary in his insurance business, while also act ing as tax counselor for various people who had income-tax prob- lems
 Akey admitted that some of his insurance policy holders may also have received tax advice from Miss Vitro, but denied that they got their

FRANK MISS vITRo

Miss Vitro, when interviewed, was more fortnight. She said she had been working for MT. Akey and the Akey Insurance Company for eleven years and during most of that time had given tax advice to about 50 to 100 people a year. She frankly ad- mitted that most of her customers also had Insurance with Akey's company, but claimed none of the taxpayers got off any easier for buying insurance.
 Miss Vitro was also quite frank aout having handled the tax re- turns of the Mohawk Music Com pany, but she gave information contrary to Akey's as to who had started the Mohawk tax investiga- ton. Akey claimed it was started after he left the collectors office, but Miss Vitro said he had started it.
 The music firm, she said, had taken out insurance on it's plate glass windows and another small policy. neither one amounting to much.s
 Note-In the winter of 1949, this column first began calling atten- tion to then little-known income tax scandals, pointing out that while the great majority of Civil Service Revenue agents were hon. est, political corruption had crept in at the top. That condition still prevails Thousands of career rev. enue agents are trying to do a conscientious job, while certain pol itical appointees sabotage their work. The most important move to clean up tax collection is to take Internal Revenue completely out of politics.

IN THE HOLE AGAIN

The first quarter of the fiscal year for the Federal government has passed, with deficit of S2614 986 764 reported.
 This is a large sum, even in this day and gen. eration Nevertheless, it should be noted that de- fense spending during July August and September amounted to s9232 0O000O compared to $3,5940O000O in the period year ago.
 Income of the government increased in the same period amounting to S12373,779,5S8 compared to $9, 344 955l17 for the first quarter last year.
 Total spending in the three months period, was s4 766 353 This compares with S9o4a6O8o72 last year when the first quarter had surplus of nearly $500 00OO.
 The figures show that nearly all of the increase in expenditures is accounted for by defense spending They also show that tax increases have not kept up with the cost of the rearmament program.
 This situation will not be relieved by the tax bill about to become law, which will increase taxes by less than six billion dollars The spending for de- fense during the next year will exceed last years costs by much than the new taxes are estimated to yield.

 Following today's elections, it is certain that the new government will have to take some drastic monetary steps, and U. s. experts figure that one of them may be a loan from us of around S2,000,000,- GOO; another could be further deval- uation of the pound, which in l949 was cut from $4.O3 to $280 A third alternative could be curtailment of British rearmament.
