COP. Senator'S Assail
District Committee S
Wiretapping Probe
Hint Political Motive;
See No Need for Law
Or Punitive Action
By Don S. Worren

Six departing Republican men,
bers of the Senate District Com
mittee last night threw farewell
message at Democratic Chairman
Nicely, indirectly accusing his
committee of some hidden motive
in it's actions against overlapping
by Washington police.
Late in the close of the 81st
Congress, Senator Nicely obtained
a unanimous approval of his COM
mittee for a bill to make any
wiretapping by police illegal ex-
cept on special cases approved by
a Judge of the District Court. The
measure was rushed to the Senate
floor.
There was no action on the
bill there, the whole question be-
ing expected to hold over to the
new Congress. But a part of the
procedure was an attempt by the
District Committee to nave the
Senate cite a witness before the
wiretap subcommittee for con-
tempt for refusal to answer
questions.
ShimOn Testimony Citew.
This was directed against Henry
w. (The Dutchman) Grunewald
once missing witness in the police
Wiretapping case.
Politics has been involved in
all arguments surrounding the
Senate inquiry. It also was evident
in testimony about the admitted
wiretapping done in 1947 at the
time that the wartime contracts

been making too much of this.
We have always encouraged our
priests to join Rotary. AS far
as we're concerned we're going
to forget it"
The bishop was asked if he
would change his statement if a
ruling did come to this country
from the Vatican.
1--WE have had no official noti
fication of any ruling" he replied.
His statement followed an an
nouncement earlier this week that
the Holy Office Congregation had
barred clergymen from belonging
to or attending Rotary, Kiwanis,
Lions and other civic clubs. The
Congregation also instruced priests
to advise Catholic laymen to be
cautious joining civic clubs.

"The planners, said Mr.. Fowler,
"are grinding out beautiful folios
containing 30-year plans. Long
range planning is absolutely essen
tial and it's pleasant to contem-
plate how lovely everything is 60
ing to be.
While we plan to figure it all
out, how about a 90-day plan
which would be of inestimable
value to the present generation
that is, plan to provide adequate
off street parking.
Mr.. Fowler added that sit is
shameful" that hundreds of Gov
ernment employees are forced to
come downtown hours ahead of
time to search for parking space
and that District government en-
ployes are charged 81 a day to
park on Government-owned land
behind the District Building.
He is not concerned about him
self, Mr.. Fowler said, because he
never drives his own car to work.

Rivers Asks Interior
To Hold Up Leoff|er
Golf Course Contract
Promises to Seek Funds
For Recreation Bourd
To Buy Facilities
By Colt HendIey, Jr.

Representative Rivers, Demo-
crat, of South Carolina. yester-
day asked Interior Secretary
Chapman to- delay any dealings
with S. G. Leoffler on a proposed
five-year contract to operate the
public golf courses here.
The appeal was made in a letter
to Mr.. Chapman. bitterly objecting
to the arrogant and insolent
attitude" of Mr.. Loeffler toward
the District Recreation Board.
Entering the golf course COLI
troversy with full force, Mr.. Rivers
also sent letters to Representative
Murdock. Democrat, of Arizona
who heads the House Public Lands
Committee: Representative Bates
Democrat, of Kentucky, chairman
of the District subcommittee o1
the House Appropriations Com
mittee. and Harry S. Wender,
chairman of the District Recrea-
ton Board
Recalls 1949 Hearings.
Mr.. Rivers asked Mr.. Murdock
to convene subcommittee Ito
put a stop to this scandal before
the very eyes of Congress" He
pointed out that the Interior De-
partment had promised in 1949
to make every effort to turn the
courses over to the local board.
In his letter to Mr.. Bates, the
South Carolinian asked his sup
port of an appropriation to enable
the Recreation Board to take over
the courses from Mr.. Leoffler.
THE properties owned by the
Government and located within
the city limits of Washington
should not be operated by any
individual for profit" Mr.. Rivers
told Mr.. Bates.
In was back in 1949 that Mr..
Rivers first became involved in the
golf course controversy. At that
time he introduced a bill requiring
the Interior Department to turn
the courses over to the Recreation
Board. Extensive hearings were
held and MIR. Leoffler's usual FIVE
year contract was not renewed. He
operated last year on a one-year
contract.
Negotiating New Contract.
Now, the Interior is negotiating
a new contract with him which
would give him control of the
links for five years. 1t does have
a clause, however, which would
allow the Recreation Board to
take over next January l if II
can get an appropriation by this
November l to buy him out.
Otherwise, the contemplated
contract would give Mr.. Leoffler
the courses for the remaining four
years.

said, I'VE will not obtain national

He added that he was sure
Congress would give it's approval

and whenever our commitments

Senator George, a veteran men,
ber of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, has supported
the Administrations military aid
programs for arresting Commu-
mist aggression.
More Senate Debate Due.
Similar views came from other
members of Congress as another
round of debate on the issue
shaped up in the Senate this
week. Several Senators. Demo-
Gratis and Republicans alike,
planned to take the floor during
the week to discuss the matter.
President Truman told his news
conference last week he would
consult with the leaders of the
Congressional Foreign Relations
and Armed Services Committees
but would not be bound by their
decisions-on the question of fur
nishing American troops for an
international army being formed
under Gen. Eisenhower in Europe.
Senator Smith, Republican, Of
New Jersey, another member Of
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, said it is foolish to
quibble" over the question Of
whether the President has au-
thority to send troops to Europe,
and added:
He needs Congress and public
opinion behind him and the way
to get it is to have Congress share
in the decision"

rejection by Communist China.
The vote was SO to 7. 1t came
Unexpectedly after a committee
session marked by cries of ZAP
peasement, "blackmail" and "sell-
out" against the new proposal.
The cease-fire appeal is the fifth
message on the issue of ending
the fighting to be sent Communist
China since the Red masses surged
into North Korea last November.
All other messages were rejected
or ignored.
Wrangle Lasts 2112 Hours.
The committee, after a wrangle
of nearly two and one-half hours,
asked the secretary-general to
send the declaration to Peiping
with a request for the Chinese
Communists to say whether it
would be acceptable as a basis
for consultations on cease-f1re.
The vote was As to (Soviet bloc)
and 8 abstentions.
Political committee approval is
tantamount to approval by the
General Assembly. The member
ship of the two groups is identical.
The committee adjourned at
6:16 pm. without setting a date
for its next meeting.
A key point of the committee
decision was that the cease-fire
would be in exchange for high
level talks with Red China on the
future of Formosa and the Chi
nese Red request for seat in the
U.N
The five members of the Soviet
bloc plus Nationalist China and
Ell Salvador voted against the dec
laration on the first ballot. The
Philippines abstained and Afghan
istan and Costa Rica were absent.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Jacob A. Malik said he voted
against the principles because the
people of North Korea and the
Peiping regime were not repre-
sented in talks forming the prin-
ciples. This was expected here
to be the line of the Peiping an
swer.
The United States voted for the
principles and was represented as
feeling that week is long enough
to wait for an answer. If it is
rejected or no answer is received
in that time, it was said, the
Americans and others are ready to
push forward resolution to brand
Communist China as the aggressor
in Korea.
Arab opposition to an Israeli
resolution embodying the prin-
ciples arose this morning, along
with opposition from Nationalist
China and the Philippines. The
break came quickly after lunch,
however, when Luis Padilla Nervo
of Mexico suggested the commit
tee vote on the principles and not
any resolution. The chairman,
Roberto Urdaneta Arabalaez of
Colombia, ruled in his favor, the
committee voted uphold the chair

proved.

Budget MayCa|l.
For SIG Billion
Boost in Taxes
Trumun to Outline
'Poy-os-You-Go'
Cost Tomorrow
By the Associated Press

Capitol Hill heard yesterday
that President Truman will ask
for the biggest peacetime tax boost
in history-at least SIG billion
which, If Congress approves, might
mean a 80 per cent or more gen.
|eral increase in the present tax
load.
Moreover, the cost of arming
against Communist aggression may
add 5 million or more persons to
the Federal tax rolls, bringing
the total number Of taxpayers
to around go million.
Mr.. Truman will outline, in his
budget message to Congress to-
morrow, just what he expects the
defense program to cost In the
fiscal year beginning July /. He
will ask for a tax program to put
this program on a pay-as-you-go
basis that, he said, will tax until
1T hurts"
Reviewed With Reporters.
President Truman, Secretary of
the Treasury Snyder and Budget
Director Frederick Lawton re-
viewed the budget with about 100
Washington reporters yesterday at
the State Department auditorium.
What the President said at the
session will not be made known
until the budget message itself
is released tomorrow. Similar ex-
planatory sessions are held every
year when the budget is ready for
introduction in Congress.
Advance speculation has been
that the budget will call for ex-
penditures of $40 billion or more.
That would be SIG billion or more
above what present tax laws-in-
cluding the post-Korea So billion
incraase-are expected to yield in
revenues in fiscal 1852.
The President so far has not
stated publicly exactly how much
additional taxes he would ask.
In his economic message to Con-
gress Friday he merely said that
the new boost should be very
much more than the SO billion
increase already voted.
Members Voice Concern.
Chairman Doughton Of the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee commented graphically to
newsmen that twice that much
would be very much greater.
wouldn't it?" This appeared to
lend strength to the reports that
the President would ask about
SIG billion. '-~1.~- '-~,
Generally, members of Congress
agreed that taxes must be raised
again, but comments were favored
with a note of concern.
Mr. Doughton said I'VE will
do the best we can without
strangling or suffocating our econ
omy." Chairman George of the
Senate Finance Committee took
virtually the same stand.
Some members privately voiced
doubts that SIG billion more a
year can be raised on top of the
new record $50 billion-plus ex-
pected to be obtained under exist
ing tax law. The dollar size of the
tax load now is far ahead of the
World War II record of S43 billion
collected in 1945.
Hearings Start Feb. 5.
Capitol Hill remembers that one
of the greatest controversies Of
World War II came where the late
President Roosevelt called for q
sos billion tax boost.
1t was then that Mr.. Doughton
came up with the now-famous
observation: You can shear a
sheep every year, but you can't
skin him but once"
Mr. Roosevelt then finally got
a $25 billion increase instead Of
SOS billion.
In the present situation there
seems to be a desire by most mem-
bers of Congress to put the cost
of defense on pay-as-you-go

came from Congress yesterday as
the Government turned on the
steam in preparation for the
handling of full price curbs by

taxes unless drastic controls are
