Senator Taft of Ohio will pause
in his drive for the Republican
presidential nomiantion tomorrow
long enough to give the Senate
Elections Subcommittee his side
of the controversy which devel-
oped over the 1850 senatorial cam
paign in which he was overwhelm-
ingly reelected over Democratic
State Auditor Joseph T. Ferguson.
He will be followed on the stand,
probably Tuesday, by Mr.. Fergu-
son. Other witnesses whose names
have not been announced will be
called later in the week. The
hearings are expected to last
about four days.
Although President Truman
gave the hearings build-up last
week by referring to the Ohio
campaign in his speech before the
Woman's Democratic Club din
ner. Senator Gillette, Democrat,
Iof Iowa, subcommittee chairman,
declared yesterday there is not
I"the remotest connection between
the work Of the subcommittee in
reference to Ohio and any one
in the Executive" branch of Gov
Iernment.
Hopes Laws Are OverhauIed.
Senator Gillette said "these
hearings were pursuant to studies
we made and goals we are seek
ing to attain in the way of rem
Iedial election legislation"
Chairman Gillette also told re-
Iporters he hopes the 1852 session
Iof Congress will overhaul the elec-
Etion laws to close loopholes which
permit the friends of a candi-
Idate to make legal campaign ex-
Ipenditures in excess of the limits
the law places on the candidate
himself.
In his speech last Tuesday,
President Truman charged that
special interests poured money
into Ohio last year to elect a
Republican Senator" He fol-
lowed up with a predictions more
money would be spent to beat
the Democrats in 1852 than in
iany past election.
Ferguson Asked Investigation.
Senator Gillette, who does not
always see eye to eye with the
administration, said that. 80 far
as I know. no one in the Execu-
tive department has seen the re-
ports OF our investigators" He
said he did not know the basis
for the Presidents statements. but
that they may have been based
on some information in the Exc
fcutive branch.
The subcommittee began its
inquiry into the Ohio campaign
on telegram Mr. Ferguson sent
to Senator Gillette late in Oc-
tober, 1850, about a week before
the election. He asked for an
investigation of expenditures in
behalf of the Taft campaign.
| Senator Gillette said that soon
thereafter he had a telephone
call"from Senator Taft. saying he
had no objection. but wanted the
committee to investigate both
sides.
AS the campaign drew to a close
both sides were making charges

threat to the liberty of the people
of the United States.
No one is more determined to
resist Communist aggression in
the world than I am. 1 think the
Russians present menace to the
liberty of the entire world and to
our way of life, menace greater
than We have faced before in our
history. That menace is not en-
tirely military. 1t is a battle of
liberty against communism in the
minds of men. We cannot afford
to destroy at home the very lib
erty we must sell to the rest of
the world as the basis for prog
reSs and happiness.

The Corrupt Practices Act is
both meaningless" and "hypo-
critical" it was charged here yes
terday.
The 1850 reelection of Senator
Taft. Republican. of Ohio, cost
Whopping $l.8 million. His
Democrat opponent, State Audi
tor Joseph T Ferguson, lost de-
spite an outlay of $500,000 in
cash, plus untabulated fringe
contributions" from labor unions.
These figures, it was disclosed
yesterday, have been run down
by investigators for the Senate
Subcommittee on Privileges and
Elections.
Other Spending Cited.
The smaller Ferguson outlay. it
is argued by Taft supporters, must
be regarded in light of other labor
spending in his behalf-includ-
ing free meetings in labor halls.
space in labor newspapers, and
manpower to circulate literature
and bring voters to the polls.

of Oklahoma, and Margaret Chase

LOOphOleS in Law.
The thousandTold difference be-
tween spending for Taft and re-
porting-by-Taft results, Senator
Monroney emphasizes, not from
any Taft misconduct but from
'loopholes" which, he says, make
the spending limitation mockery
in Ohio. Oklahoma and in every
other State"
First off under present law. the
candidate is responsible only for
the spending he personally directs.
AS a result there is no Taft re-

business men for Taft" medical
men for Taft" independents for

lite ORGANIZATIONS.
Another loophole in the Federal
act lists exemption" items of

Included are the candidates per-

One Great Danger.

In my opinion we are complete
ly able to defend the United
States itself. The one great dan
ger we face is that we may over
commit ourselves in this battle
against Russia. Germany lies in
ruins today because Hitler thought
he could conquer the world when
he had no such ability. Italy is
a poverty-stricken nation because
Mussolini thought that he could
create an Italian empire.
An unwise and overambitious
foreign policy. and particularly
the effort to do more than we are
able to do, is the only thing

I somewhat doubt whether the
Russians really can deliver an
atomic bomb. Nevertheless, we
are proposing to spend some SO
billion building air shelters in
this country to protect our people
and cities against Russian atom
bombs delivered all the way from
Russia itself.
If that is a possibility, then
surely there is danger that the
Russians can destroy all of the
ports our Army may be using on
the continent. They may be able
to prevent the landing of troops
and the furnishing of adequate
supplies. They might even make
a Dunkerque escape impossible.

However, my fears do not seem
to have been borne out up to this
time. Either the Russians are
very much afraid of starting a
third world war, or they see Sc

which can only be remedied in
time. or they don't regard the
European army in its present con-

WASHINGTON The aShen-
faced T. Lamar Caudle was slipping
ice water from a paper cup and
looking rocker than ever as the
Congressman lambasted him with
embarrassing questions. A couple
of times there / thought he was
going to keel over.
The longer he talked about his
deals, the more I got to wondering
how he found any time to work
for US taxpayers. Until President
Truman fired him, we paid T. La
mar $4,000 year as Assistant
Attorney General to prosecut the
thieves who would cheat the tax
collector.
And there was Caudle taking
rides in airplanes. of those involv-
ed in tax cases. Going fishing with

sedans from taxi magnate with
tax troubles. Going into oil well
deals with attorneys for those in
the tolls Of the tax man. Worrying
about the mink coats still another
of these legal lights helped buy
wholesale for his wife and a couple
Of other leading ladies Of Wash
ington. Pocketing a 5000 tcomniis-
sion on the sale of flying ma
chine to one-time embezzler who
was on the pay roll of two black
marketers.
All these extra-curricular enter
piises T. Lamar explained in a
rich, North Carolina accent. In no
case, said he, did he let his pri-
vate deals influence his tax work.
I'll even go along with him on
that l just don't think he had much
time left for taxes.
So he told how he pocketed
$1,000 for selling friends $780,
900 flying machine to one Larry
Knoll, who served a little time
in 1899 for embezzling. Well, sir,
Larry worked for Samuel Aaron
and Jacob Friedus, the notorious
black marketers, who tried to cheat
the rest of US out of $4,000 in
income taxes.
Sam and Jake now are in the
clink and T. Lamar takes good
deal Of credit for that; says he
gave 'em no more delays than he
would anybody else.
The names of the Messrs. Aaron
and Friedus seemed familiar. Then
1t dawned on me; they're the babies
who seemed to have friends all over
the place. And lawyers, too.
Even as the judge was sentence
ing them to Jail in New York for
holding out on their taxes in some
shady steel deals, they were buy

on our hands.
When the RFC signed the deal
with Sam and Jake, it didn't even
know they were on trial in Fed
eral Court in New York. Sen J..
William Fulbright 3D., Ark), who
was investigating the RFC fancy
Dan financial operations, suggest
ed to the management that it was
doing business with a couple Of
crooks. He said the RFC better
back out of the sale. The financiers
said they couldn't because the
papers were signed. They said Sam
and Jake might sue. Sen. Full
bright doubted that and the gov
ernment finally tore up the juke-
box contract. BY then-the fall of
1950-Sam and Jake were behind
bars; one for four years, the other
for two.
All this hasn't much to do with
Caudle's cauldron of woe, except
to indicate that a pair Of thieves
loose among the innocents in
Washington can cause good deal
