MeGranery May Use
Tax Probe FINDINGS
In Other Prosecution,
BY the Assoe,oied Press


The Revenue Bureaus drive to
collect taxes from the underworld
may soon result in increased
prosecutions of other than tax de-
linquency cases.
A prime target would be public
officials who run afoul of Federal
law by accepting graft. The JUS
tice Department would prosecute
after being tipped of by Revenue
Bureau enforcement agents.
This possibility was fore
shadowed in a letter from Under
secretary of the Treasury E. H
Foley replying to a request from
Attorney General Nc cGranery that
when Treasury sleuths looking into
crime world finances find indica-
tions that Federal laws other than
revenue regulations have been bro
ken. the Treasury should turn the
information over to Justice.
A Justice Department spokes-
man said today there is no prece-
dent for using the Internal Rev.
enue Bureaus enforcement agents
to nose out leads to other kinds
of lawbreaking.
1000 Agents Assigned.
Since April, 1851, some 1000
special agents have been assigned
exclusively to investigating under
world violations of tax laws.
James Guthrie. head of the
Revenue Bureaus racket squad
announced that more than $4,000
investigations had been completed
He listed 18 categories of illegal
factivities. Among them was one
category. including Ala cases OF
graft and payoffs." Mr.. Guthrie
told a news conference that vir-
tually all of these cases concerned
public officials of one kind OF
another.
This gave Mr.. McGranery the
idea, the Justice Department
spokesman said, that the revenue
assault on the underworld could
be utilized to augment FBI in
vestigations. .
Mr.. McGranery considered such
use of tax files permissible
under the law, the spokesman
said.
Despite Secrecy Clause.
A Treasury official. who asked
not to be named. said yesterday
this might be so. despite provi-
sion of the tax law which says
tax returns are to be held secret,
except for specified congressional
committees in private session and
State officials acting on request of
their Governors to see corporation
tax returns.
However. the President is en-
powered to make tax returns
public by executive order.
In his letter to Mr.. McGranery,
Mr.. Foley said the Revenue Bu-
rsau has asked it's field agents to
compile a list of tax cases where
investigation indicated Federal
laws, other than tax laws. may
have been violated. The lists are
to be sent to revenue headquar-
ters here not later than Novem-
ber 26.
This was no promise to turn
over the names to Justice. but
it appeared possible from the tone
of Mr.. Foley's letter that this
would be done.

Overshodowing Problem
Of Day Is Communism

But would say this to you-
and I say it with the utmost
seriousness. The great, over
shadowing problem which con-

of Communism, at home and

moral and material, secretive

Under 20 years of Democratic

Most Americans-and most

They know that our prosperity

know that the best way to in

Candidate Denounces
Old Guard 6. 0. P.
As Aiding Enemy
By the AssociotVd Press

BOSTON, Oct. Is. FollotU-
ing is the prepared tert of Gou.
SteUenSon's address here to-
night:
It is wonderful to be back in
Boston again. This has been a
great campaign and never
greater than it has been this
last week. I have never met so
many good American - and
good Democrats-old Democrats
and new DemocratS-as I have
IN the last two months. And I
have come to the conclusion
that I like about every one of
them!
I am told that, when I say I
like Democrats. I will not please
all the inhabitants of your
Commonwealth. Some citizens
OF this State, I understand,
share my opponents attitude to-
ward Democrats. when I was
a small boy in Kansas" he said,
I'VE used to talk about the Dem
ocrats as we did about the town
drunk"
I guess it's not often that
Republican leaders have a kind
word to say about anybody-in-
cluding each other.
From the way they complain,
you might think that these Re-
publicans had been suffering.
But if they are suffering, it
must be from self inflicted
wounds. For I can't see that
20 years of Democratic Govern
ment have ruined many of us.
I understand that some of them
still hate Roosevelt. But I often
wonder where those complainers
would be today if it had not
been for the magnificent leader
ship which Franklin Roosevelt
gave this Nation.
When the whole economic Sys-
tenn was crashing down over
our heads 20 years ago, the
new Democratic administration
showed that free Government
need not stand, helpless and
terrified, before economic dis
aster.
When Communists and
FascistS won converts among
despairing men and women who
had lost faith in freedom, the
fighting leadership of Franklin
Roosevelt banished despair, re-
stored faith-and destroyed the
great opportunities which Com
munism would otherwise have
had in our country.

Republican Old Guard
Knows its Own Mind

But, if the general may not
know his own mind, the Old
Guard vertainly knows its mind.
Let us consider for a moment
what the Old Guard is saying
about our country. And I mean
what they are really saying
after you take the frosting off
their words.
They are saying that our
economy is weak and febble;
that our good times are based
on spending for war; that we
are afraid of peace because
peace will mean depression.
They are saying that Ameri-
cans have lost their freedom;
that their Government has made
them slaves.
They are saying that we are
wasting our substance on mill
tary and economic aid to those
who are holding the line against
Communism abroad.
That is what the Old Guard
and its captive candidate are
saying to the American people.
But these are not the only
voices saying these things to
America.
Other voices are saying the
same things to us-that our
people are oppressed; that our
prosperity is based on war; that
we have lost our freedom; that
we should cut down on foreign
aid and on our own defenses.
And these other voices are the
voices of the most evil and
malignant force loose in the
world today-the force Of world
Communism.
Now I do not suggest for a
moment that this coincidence
proves that the Republican Old
Guard is inflltrated by Commu-
mist agents. I will leave that
kind of argument to the Old
Guard itself. If we took those
arguments away from them, they
wouldn't have anything left!
Evening star., 1952-10-26

is by shouting and screaming
every hour on the hour about
how much they hate commu-
nism at home.
Now communism in the
United States is an ugly and
sinister thing. It requires our
most serious ana relentless at
tention, but men who seek to
fight it by indiscriminate accu-
Sation of their fellow citizens
by spreading suspicion, and
smear, and Slander-are serving
no one by the Communists
themselves.
I commend to you the wise
words of the Roman Catholic
bishops of the United States in
their formal pronouncement
last November. Dishonesty,
SANDER. detraction and defama-
ton of character" the bishops
said, "are as truly transgressions
of Gods commandments when
resorted to by men in political
life as they are for all men,"
Noisy, reckless accusers can't
clean out the Communists. AS
your own Herbert Philbrick put
it after working years for the
Federal Bureau Of Investigation
within the Communist Party:
Amateur Red-hunters, am
bition politicians, demagogues,
and rabble-rouSers are no match
for the hardened Communist.
The fight against the profess
Sional Communists will not be
won by flagwaving or name
calling It calls for strenuous
and continuous intelligence and
counter-spy work by Govern
ment agencies charged with
those responsibilities. It takes
experts to fight experts"
The genuine Communist must
relish indiscriminate public de-
nunciation regardless of its ma
ture. On the one hand. it cre-
ates an atmosphere Of suspicion,
disunity and fear, on which
Communism thrives. Finally,
it tends to break down that
faith in ourselves and in each
other which. more powerful
than any armaments, is democ-
racy'S most potent weapon.
AS I have said, if I find any
Communists or fellow travellers
or Soviet agents or dupes in our
Federal Government, I will root
them out promptly and ruth
lessly.

form weakness into strength
only as we help build the mill
tary and economic power of the
nations which lie between us
and the Soviet Union. If these
nations topple over, then there
would be no barrier to a direct
Soviet attack on the United
States. We are fighting m Ko-
rea in order that we shall not
have to fight first somewhere
else, and last on our own
beaches and in our own streets
and cities.
The American Government
has been building strength in
the free world under the cour-
ageous leadership of Harry S.
Truman, and who has opposed
this oplicy of strength?
The record is clear. From the
beginning to the end the Old
Guard Republicans have OPP
posed the programs we need to
check the spread of communism
in the world.
They voted against aid to
Greece and Turkey in 1947.
They voted against the Mar
shall Plan in 1948.
They voted against the North
Atlantic pact in 1949.
They opposed the reinforce
ment of our troops in Europe.
They opposed the Mutual Sc
curity program.
They opposed economic aid to
Korea.
They opposed military aid to
Korea.
They opposed the Point -Four
program.
In each and every case the
Old Guard Republicans have
voted against strength and for
weakness.
They have voted for policies
which would. encourage Soviet
aggression and against the poll
cies which would check it.
On these crucial issues Of for
eign policy, in short, the Old
Guard has voted the straight
party line-and I don't mean
the Republican Party!
OF course they don't mean to
aid and abet our enemies but
the results are the same.
And these the men we want
to lead our Nation in the
struggle against communism to-
day?

faith in free men will triumph

and tax program which bears
least heavily on those who can
least afford to pay.
Most Americans know that our
taxes are the hard price we have
to pay for safety in a world
where the defense of freedom
must cost money or it will cost
more blood and more money.
Most Americans know, too,
that our free enterprise system
was never so strong as it is to-
day-and they know that only
20 years ago they themselves
were wondering whether it had
not failed altogether.
If this is what Socialism" as
the Republican leaders call it,
has achieved for our free econ
omy, then I would say that
Democratic Socialism" is a far
better medicine for our free
enterprise system than Repub-
lican reaction!
Most Americans, I say, know
these things to be true. But
an obstinate and stubborn mi
nority objects. They object to
economic security. They object
to progress. They object to the
new, free and friendly America
the people have built on the
debris of Republican misrule.
In fact. many of them seem to
object to the Goth century!
Their breed is dying out: but,
they survive, they are well en-
trenched. And the place where
they are best entrenched of all
is the leadership of the Repub-
lican Party. They are the boys
who are still carrying the torch
for William Mckinley. They are
the Republican Old Guard.

selves. In fact, Col. Mccormick,
the publisher Of the Chicago
Tribune, started what amounted
to a Republican lonely hearts
club-a place where the Old
Guard could foregather and
weep in its wine. He proclaimed
a new party. But the colonel,
as usual, was too pessimistic.
When the dust of battle had fl
nally settled, a peace confer
ence was called by the victor,
and it became apparent that the
coloneps club had acquired a new
member-the Republican can
didate for President.
There is still a Republican
lonely hearts club today. But
its members now are those lib
eral Republicans who were for
the General before Chicago.
Can there be doubt any longer
about what we will get from the
General of the Army?
He has turned his back on the
liberal Republicans who fought
for his nomination. He has
marched obediently into State

election of the worst isolation
lists and reactionaries in the
Congress.

Eskimo Group To

It has been announced that the group of Eskimo dancers, sched- uled to go, to Anchorage for the Fur Rendezvous on Feb. g, has been practicing some of the older and more intricate dances espec- ially for the occasion.
 One dance in particular, the Wolf Dance, has not been given in Nome for many years as it in-. volved costuming and stage prop critics which the group here did not have. However, this year it is reported that beautifully made garments and real wolf heads have been acquired by the group, at considerable expense, to make their dances more effective.
 It is planned to have a preview showing in Nome before the group leaves for Anchorage.
