Tax Bureau Reafirms
Deduction Approval
For Political Debts
BY the Assoeiased Press

! The Internal Revenue Bureau
is standing pat on its rulings that
loans to political parties. if they
cannot be collected. may be de-
Quoted on tax returns as bad
debts. I
The bureau is rejecting a sug-
geStion by Senator Williams, Re-
publican, of Delaware that it's rul-
ings in four such cases be re-
lverSed.
A bureau spokesman made this
clear today. although Revenue
Commissioner John B. Dunlap de-
clined official comment pending
an investigation by House tax
scandal probers headed by Rep
Iresentative King, Democrat. of
California.
Validity Must Be Shown.
The tax bureau said, however,
that to be legally deductible, loans
to political parties must be valid
loans and every effort must be
made to collect them. The
spokesman said certainly" the
bureau would examine such cases
closely to make certain they are
not actually political contribu-
tions. which cannot be deducted.
Senator Williams said in a Sen
ate speech Tuesday that three
wealthy men made contributions
totalling $41O,11O to the New York
State Democratic Committee be-
tween 1910 and 1948 and the Rev.
Ienue Bureau, in special" rulings.
counted the donations as unpaid
loans that could be deducted from
tax returns as bad debts.
Senator Williams said the DEM
ocratic Party was financing its
political campaign indirectly out
Iof the Federal treasury"
Mr.. Dunlap released a letter to
the Senate Finance Committee,
dated April 8, in which he re-
'ferred to inquiries from Senator
Williams on special" rulings.

Housing Association
Presses for Meeting
Ito Get Chest Funds

Continued effort was directed
today toward reconsideration o1
a vote that would deny Commu'
nifty Chest funds for 1858 to th'
Washington Housing Association
Col. Campbell c. johnson. frs
vice president Of the housing
group. said a special meeting ot
the United Community Services
will be sought by meanl
of a petition signed by Is mem.
bers of the board.
UCS is the agency through
which Chest funds are distributed
in Washington.
The association has charged
that no quorum was present wher
the trustees voted on April % tt
bar it from fund participation
The 1852 budget is $4,000.
A letter to John K. Hoskins
association president. from Lee D
Butler, president Of UCS, ex-
pressed the view yesterday that
since the quorum question wa.
not raised from the floor, the &C.
ton taken was valid.
Consideration Tuesday.
He added, however. that the
question of whether or not the
seriousness of the action on the
housing group should be the basis
for calling a special meeting will.
be considered by the executive
committee on Tuesday.
Mr.. Butler today denied this
While no actual count was made
he said. it has been the practice
for meetings of UCS units not to
raise the question of a quorum ex-
cept from the floor.
He said attendance at the 1851
meeting of the trustees to con-
slider admissions was similar to
that at this years meeting.
Col. johnson declared at q
meeting of the housing association
Yesterday in the YWCA, that he
believes the vote to exclude was
called for knowingly Illegally"
Col. johnson said both the Ad-
missions Committee and Execu.
tive Committee of UCS had rec
commended unanimously that the
group receive Chest sup.
port in 1858.
AS to past charges that the
housing association supported
public housing. Col. Johnson
pointed out that it had worked
for safe and sanitary housing. He
said public housing had been
sponsored only where private en-
terprise did not satisfy the need
Sees Cost AS Cheap.
He said he believes that. if the
people of Washington would con-
slider how much money is paid in
taxes to support the end results
of slums and bad housing, they
would consider the cost Of ar
agency like the housing associa-
ton very cheap"
Mrs. Hester Stoll, chairman o1

However, the declaration was
made and General Taylor, with a
small army was sent to the banks
of the Rio Grande in defense of
the claims of Texas; while, Cen
eral Scott with a large army cut
its way through the country and
captured Mexico City and ended
the war.
In the negotiations that followed
the slavery question was once more
brought up; for it was certain that
the newly acquired Territory ceded
from Mexico would be occupied by
shareholders, who would demand
protection of their interests.
Northern Democrats, represented
by David Milmot of Pennsylvania,
offered a bill on the House floor
that newly acquired territory
should be governed under the Or
dinance of 1877, which provided
that neither slavery nor involun-
tary servitude shall exist in any
part of said territory, except for
crime, whereof the party shall first
be duly convicted" This became
known as the celebrated WilmOt
ProvisO that brought about more
disseSion between the North and
the South on the slavery question.
But, since there was no newly ac-
quired territory except California
and New Mexico, where slavery
was already prohibited by Mexican
laws, the Proviso was defeated as
accomplishing no particular pur-
pose.
John Calhoun of South Carolina
introduced new resolutions, declar-
ing the territories to be the COM
mon property of the states and
that Congress had no right to in
terfere in the slave question within.
AS a compromise, a bill was
brought forward establishing Terri
torial Governments in Oregon, New
Mexico and California with a pro-
vision referring all questions of
slavery to the Supreme Court for
decision. This measure also lost in
the House. Other amendments were
offered, proposing to extend the
Missouri Compromise all the way
across the country to the Pacific,
thereby dividing the country in
half, North-free and South-slave.
This also fel Through. At length
the bill was finally passed includ-
ing the Ordinance of 1887.
At the end of Polls Administra-
ton, the Democratic Convention
met in Baltimore in May, 1848,

Gratis from New York were ex-

The first Telegraphic Dispatch

carried the nomination of James
K. Polk for President on the Demo-
cratic ticket. He was selected, not
for his distinction or abilities, but
because he was the partisan of Van
Buren, and favored the annexation
Of Texas.
The chief topics of the Presi-
dents first annual message were
the admission of Texas and the
dissatisfaction of Mexico. It re-
ferred also OF Mexico's apparent
intention of declaring war, either
by an open declaration or by in
vading Texas. It stated that the
United States would be justified in
taking first steps in declaring war
as Mexico had failed to- comply
with the terms of the treaty of in
demnity of 1889.
The Democrats were eager for
war, while the Abolition or Liberty
Party opposed war bitterly The
Republicans held that President
Polk provoked hostilities by order

tory. Also, many Congressman
were opposed to hostitlities and
held interviews with the President
