Rockefeller
Similar philosophy comes
from the retired head of the
Rockefeller Foundation, Charles
I. Barnard. The Rockefellers
founded the fund in 1913 and
dedicated it to "the well-being of
mankind throughout the world"
Mr.. Barnard ran it for years,
then turned his Office over to
Dean Rusk, former Assistant
Secretary Of State, with this
admonition:
"It has not been the practice
of the Rockefeller Foundation to
inquire into the politics, religion,
skin color or racial origin of
applicants for its grants and
fellowships. The only personal
criteria are two: The applicants
technical competence and his
integrity as a scholar"
The foundation owns stock
valued at 1921 million. These
bring dividends of about $11.5
million annually. 1t goes out as
fast as it comes in.
Only last year, the founda-
tion appropriated money for
medical experiments in India,
Africa, Canada, Italy, Norway,
Holland and the United States;
agricultural experim n is in
South America, Europe and the
United States; studies in the
humanities in Japan, Moslem
countries. England and the
United States, and miscellaneous
projects such as $160,000 to

District Commissioners rose to
81 per cent last week. First
Donohue, now Robinson.
Buried in routine announce
ment of Army transfers was the
news that the Engineer Com
missioner was moving on to big
ger things before his term here
had half-expired. He had
known it was coming and who
can blame him for wanting to
move closer to the top in his
chosen profession? He can get
another star by moving to the
Office with the Chief of Army
Engineers. That star doesn't
go with the District Building
job.
It was in June, 1851, that
piano-playing Bernard L. Rob-
inson was brought here by an
other pianist. President Harry
S. Truman. But Washing
tonians quickly found out Col.
Robinson had more to offer
than Kitten on the Keys" He
was something of an admins
trative powerhouse. He became
a brigadier general during his
service here.
Take the reorganization plan
now being put into effect in
District government. Most of
the details were worked up by
recently transferred Assistant
Engineer Commissioner Thomas
j. Hayes. But it was Gen. Rob-
inson along with Commissioner
Donohue who provided the drive
to put it over. Together they
bucked the powerful Budget
Bureau which had it's own CITY,
manager reorganization plan to
try out. They fought the bureau
to draw and in the end went
to President Truman for a de-
cisive win. The plan provides
the biggest streamlining of city
operations in more than two
decades.
1t was Gen. Robinson, too,
who brought Schuyler Lowe here
from Atlanta to supervise the
reorganization.

About 1400 BE-, the pharaohs
Of Egypt started setting up
charitable foundations. Last
week, a special House committee
investigated how far founda-
tions have come.
It was big gift horse that
Congress suspiciously looked In
the mouth.
Americas tax-exempt founda-
tions now are worth probably
Sc billion. Some have only a
few hundred dollars; the Ford
Foundation, the biggest, is worth
$500 million.
The investigating committee
under Representative Cox of
Georgia wanted to know how
these trusts spend their money
and especially whether they
help Communists.
Such a thought would shock
the men who founded the three
biggest trusts. All were capital
lists, rugged.
John D. Rockefeller, ST., and
his family poured oil profits
into the Rockefeller Foundation.
Andrew Carnegie made his mil
lions In steel-and gave them
to the Carnegie Corp. The Ford
family pieced together the Ford
Motor Co. and then gave nearly
80 per cent of the stock to the
Ford Foundation.
These funds now operate as
gigantic corporations. They own
securities, collect dividends and
give money to every field of hu-
man endeavor except possibly
pure politics.
All of these funds count
themselves as pioneers, press
ing at the outer borders of
human knowledge, whether it
be in the field Of medicine,
education. philosophy, Gov
ernment. agriculture or any,
thing else that troubles man.
kind. These funds try to go
where other financial angels
fear to tread.
Ford
Ford is the freshest name in
the field of big-time philan-
trophy. Henry Ford. apostle of
the assembly line, started the
foundation in 1886. It grew
slowly. finally swinging into full
operation only two years ago.
Paul Hoffman. former head OF
the Mutual Security Admins
tration, is president.
In two years, the Ford Foun-
dation has given away SIS mil
mion. Seventeen per cent of this
has gone overseas for such prof.
ects as helping American-con-
trolled Berlin University, or
helping farmers in India and
the Middle East. The Ford
Foundation is dedicated to solv-
ing problems of world peace,
American politics. economics
and education and the mys-
teries Of human behavior.
DR.. Robert M. Hutchins, the
genius Of education, is an asso-
ciate director, and wants the
Government to keep hands off.
His fund has not knowingly
helped Reds. but If one should

the National Research Council,
Washington, for research in
problems of sex, and $4,000 to a
London institute for studying
West African peoples who speak
the Fulah language.
In the last five years, the foun-
dation has spent SCI million in
the United States and SIT mil
lion overseas.
Corneeie
The third-largest fund is the
Carnegie Corp, which has as
sets of $177 million and an an
nual income of about $6 mil
lion. 1t sponsored a study that
led to reorganization of medical
teaching in the United States;
1t started developing hybrid
corn now worth SO billion an
nually to American farmers.
And it sponsored some of the
first work on atomic energy.
1t finances more than a score
of subsidiary foundations that
operate mostly in the United
States. One of the Carnegie
foundations that tried overseas
work got burned. 1t was the
Carnegie Endowment for Inter-
national Peace. Alger Hiss was
the head of it when he was
accused publicly of being
Communist courier. He denied
it, but now is in prison for
having lied under oath.

million public works program.
It was Gen. Robinson who took
the lead in developing the mas
sive Addison public works advi-
sorry committee report into a CO.
hesive program. It has been he
who has laid the groundwork for
selling the plan to the new
Congress.
The frightening thing about
his leaving. and Mr.. Donohue's,
is that it robs the District of it's
first energetic leadership in 20
years. They have been a good
offensive team on city problems
with genial Commissioner Renah
Camalier warming the bench.
Now Mr.. Camalier-if he
stays on-gets into the game
as quarterback. He is due to be-
come chairman by virtue of
seniority unless the two new
members gang up on him when
they take Office. His critics say
he doesn't know the plays and
can't carry the ball.
Historically the District has
been assigned good men from
the Army Engineers. Not all as
outstanding as Gen. Robinson.
but good men. It is the new
civilian appointment that will
hold the key to the future.
1t is safe to say that when
Gen. Robinson and Mr.. Donohue
have left, and until their sue
cessors have had a chance to
show their mettle. the District
will return to a period of opera
ton by the career department
heads, principally Mr.. Lowe,
Corporation Counsel Vernon
West, and Budget Officer WAL
ter Fowler. These, with the ex-
ception of Mr.. Lowe who is a
newcomer, ran the show during
the Young-Mason regime.
Montgomery Toxes
It begins to look more and
more as if any relief Montgom-
cry County residents get in the
property taxes will come from a
lowering of the tax rate rather
than from cutting the bitterly
protested new assessments.
Three doWnState members of
the County Council have come
out openly for lower rate. The
other four are sympathetic with
out committing themselves.
On top of this the county got
some pretty plain talk from
Albert H. Ward, secretary of the
State Tax Commission, last
week. Mr.. Ward called Mont
gomery one of the best assessed
counties in the State and
warned any attempt at disturb
ing the present ratio between
assessments and current sales
prices would bring the commits
sion down on the county's neck.

communism in China. Hiss was
an IPR trustee.
Foundation heads say they
should not hound researchers
they subsidize. They say this
might restrict the scientific
thinking Of the men. Mr.. Hoff-
man feels his Ford Foundation
and all other tax-exempt foun-
dations-should be required to
file in a central place a public
accounting Of their funds. But
that's as far as he wants Gov
ernment regulation to 60.
Representative Cox and his
fellow committeeman claim a
Government interest in founda-
tionS because they are tax
exempt. The original contribu-
tions are deductible for income
tax purposes as charitable gifts.
The trusts themselves do not
pay taxes.
Donors give to funds rather
than pay gift or estate taxes on
their great fortunes. Federal
estate taxes range up to II per
cent on the part Of an estate
over $40 million. Such taxes
would have forced members Of
the Ford family to yield control
of the Ford Motor Co. If they
had not set up the Ford Founda-
ton.
Congressman concerned over
foundations find that govern
ments have worried about them
since the days of ancient Egypt.
The pharaohs set up founda-
tions to care for their tombs in
the pyramids. Foundations
thrived in ancient Rome and
Greece. They endowed a stadi-
UNI at Athens, built aqueducts
and baths.
Perpetual Funds
What to do about funds set up
to last forever has troubled
more recent governments. DR..
Ernest Hollis of the United
States Office of Education told
the Cox committee that courts
have been slow to alter the
charters of foundations that
have outlined their purpose.
One fund in England, for in
stance, sponsored a lectureship
on coal gas as the cause Of
malaria fever. Another was
established to ransom English
men captured by Barbary
pirates.
One American fund, DR.. Hollis
said. grew to SIT million while
a group of orphans it was in
tended to help gradually dimin-
ished. A fund of $50 million at
one time served only 800
sailors-the only ones eligible
for aid.
One fund became obsolete
because it could help only girls
who admitted they were prosti-
tutes. Few would.
A fund was set up in st. Louis
in 1850 to assist emigrants
passing through to settle in
the West" DR.. Hollis said most
of the 81 million trust was spent
on legal fees before courts al
lowed the remainder to 60 to
modern travellers in distress. To
avoid Nuch difficulties. the big
modern funds allow their trus-
tees to spend almost as they
please. That's what worries the
Cox committee.

could be secured. Third, a reshuaHing Of governmental func
tons for greater efficiency and reduced expenditures. OF
course, Of all these, the return Of the Internal Revenue Taxes
would be the best and most satisfactory.
THERE MAY BE some justification in the loud COM
plants which come when increased taxes are proposed. The
group which carried the bulk of the tax burden is asked to
make even greater contribution tax-wise. This year, for
example, the increased revenues reach $71,680, these to be
absorbed through gasoline. tax on automobiles, passenger
tickets, and the like. Perhaps these are the only available
sources to which the administration could turn. Certainly
real property could not be touched further, nor could there
be any addition to licenses and the ike. Perhaps there are
those who feel that a greater effort should Be made to seek
even further deficiency appropriation, but that figure IS al
ready 46 per cent, 50 that justification might be difficult.
LET TT BE made clear that this is not a justification Of
administration policy. No one likes to pay taxes, and if pos
sible would prefer to get around them altogether, but the
truth is that they must be faced. We in the Virgin Islands, or
in St Crox, are not alone in this regard. World conditions
call for sinking into the tax situation to maintain govern
mental functioning on even 4 normal basis.
THE THREE SUGGESTIONS made here might well be
thought of most seriously, and followed. The administration,
knowing that it is constantly under fire, should make an even
greater effort to set its record straight. 1t might call in a citi-.
committee, comprised Of cross section Of the commun-.
'ity, to sit down and sit through the problem. It might issue
details as to personnel problems, 50 as to show that there is
no wholesale abuse Of the funds which come into the govern
ments Golfers. Then, when this survey is made, the results
should be released Immediately. AT this stage Of the game
what is needed is a return to confidence, and this can be ac-
.cOmpished il part By informing the public Of all that is hap
pening.
IF H ADMINISTRATION cannot reduce taxes. Or
even avoid increasing taxes, then it could very well strengthen
its position BY convincing the public that everything possible
is being done to run the affairs Of government as efficiently
and economically as possible.
