CINCINNATI, Nov. 11.-Senatol
Taft thinks there will be "com-
Iplete cooperation" between Presi-
dent-elect Eisenhower and Con-
gress in developing a program
which will have unanimous sup
port from the Republican Party
Senator Taft, who stumped the
country in behalf of Gen. Eisen-
hover after having lost the G. O.
P. nomination for President, made
the statement in a copyrighted
analysis of the election, written
for the Cincinnati Times-Star'
magazine section.
The Ohio Senator said he be-
lleved the tremendous vote in the
election last week was "a negative
enthusiasm against what had been
going on in Washington in the
executive administration"
Wants Affirmative Policies.
THE fact that the campaign
was won on negative issues makes
it all the more important that the
Republican Party should develop
affirmative policies" Senator Taft
wrote
He said Gen. Eisenhower will be
in a position to "clean up cor
ruption and communism in WASH
ington by the appointment of men
who have a sincere interest in
that job"
On the legislative side, Senator
Taft wrote:
I'm domestic policy, believe
also that a comprehensive survey
should be made of existing depart
ments and bureaus with jurisdic-
ton to go beyond the powers of
the Hoover Commission in reconi-
mending economies and in some
cases the complete elimination Of
Federal activity.
"At the same time, I believe a
comprehensive study should be
made to determine the proper role
of the Federal Government in Civ
ing assistance to States and local
communities in the fields of well
fare, health, housing and social
security.
Particularly, I believe the old
age pension system can be greatly
improved"

Lund's Proposal at Convention in Miami
Would Cut Federal Receipts by Billions

Washington as the result of Gen.
Eisenhower's election victory, real
estate brokers from all over the
Nation are hoping to have Con-
gress turn to a new approach
for housing.
Virtually all realtors in policy
making positions within the Or
ganization are sharply critical
here of the idea that the Govern
ment's housing activity should
continue to be headed up by the

$50 long as there is one overall
agency directing housing matters
there will be the temptation on
the part of politicians. whether
Republican or Democratic, to med
die in the private enterprise field" /"
one convention official said.
Our position is that the least
Government you have in housing
the better housing the people will

socialization of our economy"

Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New

camp. For this reason the Of

Stur Stoff CORRESPONDENT

MIAMI BEACH, Nov. 11.-Jos-
eph w. Lund, president of the Ma
|tion's realtors in convention here,
today proposed that real estate
taxes be made an "offset" against
Federal income taxes instead of
simply deductible item.
Under this plan, a man whose
Federal tax amounted to, say,
81. 900, and who paid $500 in local
real estate taxes, could have the
entire amount deducted, leaving
$500 as the amount of the Federal
tax.
It is estimated such a program,
liz adopted, would reduce Federal
income tax receipts by billions Of
dollars.
General Sessions Open.
Mr.. Lund spoke this morning
at the opening general session of
the week-long meetings here.
In his keynote speech. the head
lof the National Association of
Real Estate Boards also outlined
Ia program to outlaw Federal
competition" with private busi-
ness and professional enterprises
and forbid rent control by con-
lStitutiOnal amendment.
Meanwhile, the realtors were
mobilizing a campaign for the

|ernmental housing activity. The
movement, it was indicated, would
call for abolishing the Housing and
Home Finance Agency, top Federal

Taft Sees Full Cooperation
OF Eisenhower and Congress
Senator, Anolyzing Election, Says General
TroIed Predecessors in Vote PERCENTAGE

Senator Taft pointed out that al.
though Gen. Eisenhower's victor!
has been called a landslide, tn,
general polled 55.4 per cent of tn,
major party vote, while Presiden'
Harding got Ga per cent in 1920
Coolidge IS per cent in 1924
Hoover 50 per cent in 1928, Roose.
velt SO per cent in 1892 and 62 pei
cent in 1896.
'"The Democrats held on to theil
standard party vote with which
they had won recent elections,
Senator Taft wrote, "but the Re.
publicans acquired 1000, 900 new
votes-some young voters, other,
from that group of people who die
not trouble to vote in previou!
elections"
He expressed belief Gov. Ada
E. Stevenson, the defeated Demo.
cratic candidate, got most of the
"so-called independent vote which
the candidates angled for" anc
then he added:
But it was the previously un.
interested vote which swung into
line for Gen. Eisenhower"
Reaction of the People.
Referring to his belief the vote
was on a negative basis, Senator
Taft said:
Fundamentally, it was a re.
action against the New Deal Fail
Deal theory of excessive spending
taxation, controls and claims oil
arbitrary power over business, la.
Dor and the various State anc
local governments.
"The basic objection of the
people was heavily accentuated BY
their resentment against the reve-
lations of immortality and corrup.
ton in Washington; by the evi.
dence that communism had pene.
trated the Government and thai
our troubles were partly due te
the soft attitude of the admins
tration toward communism; ano
finally by the deep resentment felt
especially by the women, against
the bungling Judgment which hao
brought about the Korean war"
The Senator said Gen. Eisen-
hower's victory was obviously both
a personal victory for the genera
and a party victory.

Katyn Evidence
Was|nsufficient,
jackson Asserts
Justice Gives Reason
For Not Prosecuting
Cose at Nuremberg

Supreme Court Justice Jackson,
testifying before House commit
tee today. declared the Nuremberg
war crimes trial and the American
prosecutors there did nothing to
block any future finding that Rus
slams carried out the Katyn For
est massacres.
He was the first of q witnesses
scheduled for the closing phase
of the committees investigation
into the murder of $4,000 Polish
officers in the Katyn Forest in
Western Russia early in World
War II. The Soviets and Nazis ac-
cused each other of the slaughter.
The committee already has
officially blamed Russia for the
massacre. which it says they COM
mitted to pave the way for Com
munist control of Poland. It
wants to determine now whether
American otfilials covered up
early investigation reports in an
effort to appease Russia.
Objected to Soviet Charge.
Justice Jackson was chief
prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials.
He recalled that the Soviet prose-
cutors insisted on having the
Nuremberg tribunal consider
Russian charge that in 1910 the
Nazis killed the Polish officers and
others whose bodies were found in
the forest in 1943.
Justice Jackson said he objected
to inclusion of the charge because
there seemed to be inadequate
evidence to support it.
II knew" he said, "that the
Nazis and the Soviets accused
each other, that both were capable
of the offense, that perhaps both
had opportunity to commit it, and
that it was perfectly consistent
with the policy of each toward
Poland.
Overlaid With Propaganda.
Whatever the facts were, they
had become overlaid with deep
layers of Nazi and Soviet propa-
ganda and counter propaganda
and it seemed we could not at the
international trial wisely under
take or satisfactorily achieve the
long task of separating truth from
falsehood."
Justice jackson assured the
committee he sympathized with
its efforts to disclose the real
story of the massacre. He de
clared, however, that Russians
could not have been prosecuted
at the Nuremberg trials of Nazi
leaders even if he, as chief prose-
cutor. had possessed positive evil
dence of Soviet guilt.
"AS for the Katyn incident"
he said. If we had had adequate
information of Russian guilt, it
would have strengthened our hand
in keeping the Russian charges
|againSt the Nazis in that matter
out of the Nuremberg trial. The
Russians probably never would
have entered the charge in such
an event."
Deluged by Documents.
Justice Jackson said he never
received instructions from the
State Department or other United
States authorities concerning the
handling of the Katyn charges at
Nuremberg. He added that he did
not intend to criticize any Gov
ernment agency on that account.
He explained that his staff was
deluged by more than 100, 900 doc
uments concerning the Nazi lead
erS and had full-time job pre-
pairing the major prosecution.
Justice Jackson vigorously de-
Tended the war crimes trial sys-
tenn both as a precedent and as a
Legitimate legal procedure. He said
ut also resulted in the collection
and preservation of all pertinent
documents relating to the origin
Of World War II.
