lax Case Was Settled
For 3Cents on Dollar,
Senator Williams Saws
BY the Associated Press

Senator Williams. Republican,
of Delaware. let loose a new verbal
blast at the Treasury Department
today. He said it settled a $38
million claim against a New
York oil man for about three
cents on the dollar.
This" Senator Williams told
the Senate, ''is only one Of the
scores of large tax cases which
have been compromised for an
insignificant fraction by the
Treasury Department during the
past several years."
Says Snyder Approved.
Senator Williams named the
oil man as William r. Davis. He
said he was a speculator. Mr..
Davis died in 1941.
The Delaware Senator, who has
spoken up time and again in the
Senate to accuse the Treasury
and its Internal Revenue Bureau
of mishandling cases, said today
of the Davis matter:
This compromise tax case was
approved by the Treasury Depart
ment under the same Secretary of
Treasury. John w. Snyder, who,
for the past six years, has nom
chalantly been sitting on the lid
of all the corruption which has re-
Gently been exposed in the Treas
ury Department"
Demands Reopening of Case.
He demanded that the case be
reopened for a study of the roles
played by William M. Boyle, jr.,
former Democratic national chair
man, and Daniel j. Hanlon, a
former Treasury Department Of
fetal, as counsel for Mr.. Davis and
his companies.
The compromise was made in
1948, Senator Williams said, add
ing that he had made no personal
investigation to determine the
merits of the case, but that. "in
the light of laxity which has been
exposed as existing in the Treas
ury Department at the upper
level, all these cases should be re-
examined"

The heaviest cut in the defense
appropriation was 1868 million

got all but $54 million of the 1884,
100000 it sought, while the Navy
was given all but $34,787, 300 of
the $421.197,740 it wanted.
Standardization Urged.
The committee said economies
are possible in the entire military
construction program and called
for more standardization in this
field, and better utilization of
structures.
1t criticized the Budget Bureau
FOR having held up funds appro-
priated for advance planning of
public works and said
the action made it difficult for
the services to present sound pro-
grams.

The bulk of the reduction in
Atomic Energy Commission
money requests was in the esti-
mate for new plant construction
and expansion of existing plants.
The committee said the program
can't be completed for several
years.
It told the commission to
formulate a specific program
based on engineering plans and
specifications and come back later
for additional funds.
For construction of an esti-
mated 11,O00 additional defense
housing units in critical areas the
committee recommended $50 mil
lion, a cut of $12.5 million from
what the Housing and Home
Finance Agency requested. It
granted 81 million of the SIS mil
lion requested for the Alaska

The Need Is Dire
Over 100 scripts have been

Lindsay carefully points out
that the NDC isn't trying to sell
plays or be a writer's agency.
If we can help bring along
two or three repeating play
wrights who will be able to
write quality plays every year

wrights, we shall be doing good

IT'S Something Like Broadway Here
With Martha Scott, Nugent and Ferer
By Joy Cormody


1t was a little like Broadway
and Forty-fourth street around
here this week. In the throngs
which seemed composed mostly
Of high school student tourists,
a celebrated stage or screen face
would suddenly appear.
There were not as many of
these as one would catch on
Forty-fourth and Broadway,
naturally. There were enough
to create a foretaste Of the four
weeks of Call Me Madam" and,
incidentally, the rebirth of the
National Theater. starting May S.
Among those helping to cre-
ate the impression that this was
something Of a drama center
again were Martha Scott, Elliott
Nugent and Jose Ferrer. There
was also young Nancy Nugent,
the dewiest member of the cast
Of THE Male Animal in its
weeks Gayety engagement.
These are especially pleasant
people and, although they num-
bered only four, counting Nancy,
they seemed like more than that.
A Time for ToIk
Between shows, they found
time to talk and each is espe-
cially agreeable at this sort of
thing. The talk did not have
much direction. 1t never really
does when stage people and
drama reporters they have not
seen in long time get together.
There are a lot of dangling links
to be hooked up conversation
ally. Like how we'll every one
Is looking. which usually means
every one is surprised the others
have not aged more.
THE season" also comes up.
1t does not last long in the con-
versation. Just long enough for
every one to agree it has been
dismal. What has happened to
the theater turns up briefly,
but when every one gets right
down to it. it is the same thing
that has been happening ever
since AriStonhaneS
The shameless truth is that
reunions between stage people
and the press are more social
than professional. They should
not be. Drama reporters should
be prepared with questions and
the other side should be pre-
pared with answers. Then
these meetings would produce
sparkling Sunday columns. Well,
at least Sunday columns.
At luncheon with Miss Scott,
Nugept and the latter's daugh-
ter Nancy, Miss Scott got started
on a theme. There are cir
cumstances under which she

II did for a long time. Then I

Your respect for a certain critic
is likely to confuse your whole
