The Key West citizen., 1952-12-10


Somewhere in Florida): In my
visiting around the state have
found that people confidently
expect the near future to bring
some relief to the taxpayers with
regard to the burdens OF govern
ment. Those to whom l have
talked about my own hopes for
revising and adjusting the tax
load have proved enthusiastic
conversationalists on the sub
ject.
AS everyone recognizes, the
policies of the incoming Admins
tration will to a large extent
dictate the type of tax program
which the Congress will have to
adopt but there are a great many
detailed aspects of any new tax
legislation upon which the in
dividual member of Congress can
make an imprint. There are two
aspects to the tax program which
have a major impact upon the
American home which I hope to
see improved and | will intro
duce legislation (l) to make 1t
possible for a working mother to
charge as business expense the
cost of nursing and similar home
making costs which are peculiar
to the independent working
mother and e, to revise the
formula for deducting from tax
able income medical expenses. l
do not think the present percent
age formula gives a fair and pro-
portionate consideration to these
unusual costs which weigh so
heavily upon so many families. !
am already having bills drawn
to cover the aforementioned sub
jects and / expect to be active on
the Floor when a new tax bill
comes before the Senate for con-
sideration.

by The Assoeiated Press

GOLDEN, Colo, June 28.-Two
candidates for the Democratic
presidential nomination attacked
Republican stands on foreign pol
icy and domestic issues today in
addresses to the Colorado party's
convention.
State Democrats then turned to
the task, amidst reports of behind
scenes disputes, of selecting their
delegates to the national conven-
ton.
Colorado's delegation, with 16
votes at its command, will go
Iuninstructed in accordance with
State party rules.
There was no way to predict
how Colorado'S 16 votes would be
cast on the first ballot for a presi-
dental nominee at Chicago. But
one high party official, who re-
fused to be quoted by name, said
Averell Hartman would have the
bulk of supporters with Senator
Russell Of Georgia and Senator
Kefauver of Tennessee poor Sec

Most delegates said they are
uncommitted and undecided on

Russell. There is one avowed Ke-

costly matter.
None of the more than 2,4OO
delegates will get any expense

said a delegate can't deduct his
expenses on his income tax re-

who pays them for him-without

This Week
in
Washington

The seizure of the steel mills
by President Truman set off a
barrage of criticism in the
United States congress from
strictly partisan sources. And
much of the criticism against the
Presidents action in taking over
the mills came from many big
sponsors of radio and television
shows.
However, one Republican in
the Senate, conceded to be the
best constitutional lawyer in that
body, took his colleagues to task.
He was Senator Wayne Morse,
Republican of Oregon. Nobody
disputes constitutional law with
Senator Morse and gets very far
with it. Said Senator Morse in
part:
Il should like to suggest to
those who l have heard today
express themselves on constitu-
tional law, whose views in my
opinion would be laughed out of
any freshman course in con-
stitutional law in any of our law
schools, that they will never live
SO long as to read a decision of
the United States supreme court
holding that in this land in time
of great national peril, the Presi-
dent of the United States does
not have the inherent power
under the constitution to protect
the safety and security of the
lnation, until Congress gets off its
launches and proceeds to meet
tits constitutional obligations and
performs its duty.
"Mr President, | am becoming
a little weary of hearing politici-
ans in an election year proceed
to attack the President of the
United States because they dis
like his partisanship, when they
themselves have yet to take
action under the Constitution of

clear duty to take, if they do not
