Close Vote Predicted
On Truman Plan for
Tax Reorganization
By Cecil Holland

~ SS@u hbVuVUV
A close vote was predicted yes
terday on President Truman's
plan to reorganize the Bureau OF
Internal Revenue.
With interest sparked by fam
ing statements on both sides, the
reorganization proposal is sched-
Iuled for Senate consideration on
Tuesday with vote not later than
the following day. If not disap-
proved by a majority of all Sena-
tors. 40, before March IA, the re-
Organization plan automatically
will become effective.
The issue. faced with formid-
able Democratic opposition,
seemed to hang on what the Re-
publican Senators would do.
Monr0ney Backs Plan.
Senator Monroney. Democrat. of
oklahoma, supporter of the re-
organization plan, told reporters
the proposal advanced by Presi-
dent Truman for correcting con-
'ditions within the Governments
tax-collecting system may be
killed "by the votes of patronage
hungry Republicans"
Senator Monroney joined with
Senators Humphrey Of Minnesota
and Moody of Michigan, both
Democrats, in a statement yester-
day saying the Senate faces the
choice between political patron
age and a real career-merit sys-
TEN in the future collection of
over $40 billion in Governmental
revenues" xs
The three Senators charged
that opponents of the reorganiza-
ton plan have raised "a smoke
screen of technicalities to hide
1.-THE real issues involved. The is
sues, they added. is whether "the
Senate is willing to give up the
|discredited political patronage
system Of appointment" in favor
Ia genuine blue ribbon merit sys-
tenn Of career workers"
Echo Truman View.
Their views echoed the state
ment of President Truman that
opponents of the plan want to
kill it because they are most in
terested in patronage rather than
good public service.
The House already has approved
the plan. H..
Opponents Of the plan are
charging that President Truman
has been attempting to make po-
litical capital out of his proposal
and that the change would have
not real effect on affairs within
the bureau. The Presidents pro-
.posal is designed to take the ap-
pointment of collectors out Of poll
tics and place all positions. except
the single top position Of commits
sioner, under civil service.
King Supports Plan.
Chairman King Of the House
Ways and Means subcommittee
investigating tax scandals has
come to the aid of the President
and other supporters of the plan.
He will make a Nationwide radio
appeal at 11:15 pm. tomorrow in
support of it.
Those supporting the reorgani-
zation proposal are pointing out
that more than 70 per cent Of the
tax collecting employees fired or
removed in the past year have
been in the Offices Of the presi-
Identially appointed collectors. AT
least 80 per cent Of those who
have been ousted have been in the
Offices of the seven collectors who
have been dismissed or forced to
resign.

Twenty years of service in and to Alaska is being observed this year together with the 25th an niversary of Pan American World AirwayS System.
 The international carrier which has grown to a worldwide airline of 155,0OO route miles carrying the American flag to all six con- tinents started 25 years ago with a daring operation across 90 miles of water between Havana and Key West, Fla.
 The fledgling company was only five years old when Pacific Alaska AirwayS, the predecessor com pany of Pan Am in Alaska, began scheduling regular flights in Al aska. That was 1882.
 That first year, the company carried 6,637 passengers.
 This year, they expect to carry more than 50,000 on Alaska routes.
 In 1882, the air fare, for exam pie, between Fairbanks and Nome was S1,000. The fare today is $50. Other fares have been reduced steadily through the years as the benefits of modern equipment and mass transportation techniques have been utilized.
 John w. White, regional direc- tor (and himself a longtime Al aska resident says, ''Pan Am has consistently improved and mod ernized it's Alaska services for 20 years. Great as past progress has been, we are confident about even greater progress in the com ing 20 years. We are constantly planning and looking ahead to keep Alaska'S air transportation growing with the territory"

Truman Intervention
In Monetary Dispute
Revealed in Congress
BY the Associofed Press

President Truman once pro-
tested to the Federal Reserve
Board. both by telephone call and
letter, against reports the board
was going to remove fixed pegs
from Government security prices.
This was indicated today as
details of a sharp dispute last
year between the Treasury and
the Reserve Board, in which the
White House became involved,
were revealed for the first time.
A Joint congressional subcom-
mittee investigating the quarrel,
and the Nations monetary poll
cieS. released previously conf
Dental correspondence between
top financial officials on the sub
lect.
Have Reached Accord.
The Treasury and the Reserve
Board have been operating since
March. 1851, under an accord
which calls for the board to with
draw its pegged floor under Gov
ernment security prices, but
maintain an orderly market.
The correspondence reveals
that Mr.. Truman called and
wrote Thomas B. McCabe, then
chairman of the Reserve Board,
late in 1850, after the President
saw newspaper story on the
dispute. The Presidents letter
was not included in the CORE
spondence released last night.
But a reply from Mr.. McCabe
indicates that Mr.. Truman sug-I
gested the Reserve Board notify
New York bankers that newspaper
reports of the possible unpegging
were false, and that government
security prices would be held firm.
Mr.. McCabe declined.
Called to White House.
Later. the President called Re-
serve Board officials to the White
House and then on February 2,
1851, he released a letter to Mr..
McCabe saying the President had
received assurance that the mar
ket on Government securities will
be stabilized and maintained at
present levels"
In reply five days later, Mr..
McCabe said the board had been
drawn into a false position and
had made no such commitment.
Mr.. McCabe said the President
also had been ''unintentially
drawn into a false position-as
If you were committing us to a
policy which we believe to be con-
trary to what we all truly de-
Mr.. President, you did not ask
us IN our recent meeting to COM
NIT ourselves to continue on this
dangerous road" Mr.. McCabe
wrote.
Flight Into Imitation.
Mr.. McCabe told Mr.. Truman
the inevitable result of fixed Gov
ernment security prices would be
more and more money and
cheaper and cheaper dollars"
serious weakening of the financial
stability of the country and
further flight into imitation.
Imitation then was running
strong, spurred by the Korean
war.
Mr.. McCabe also gave the Presi-
dent lesson in finance. Mr..
Truman had expressed concern
over any possible repetition of
conditions that followed World
War I. At that time. he said, his
own war bonds declined to 80
cents on the dollar.
Mr.. McCabe reminded the
President that the present defense
bondS-the type held by most in
dlvidualS are not subject to
market fluctuations and can be
cashed at any time at a stated
figure.

from destroying themselves and each

our national concerns The destiny
of the next century is being played
with like half-blind juggler toss

in every community, city, town, or

courage to stand against the move

peace, and our prosperity.

Thoughts on Life
We Look But
Fail to See
Br DR.. JOHN ". HOLLAND

BLINDNESS IS SUCH a pathetic
affhction that everyone wants to
make the lot of all blind people as
comfortable as possible.
There is another form of blindness
with which practically all people are
troubled: The blindness that keeps
us from seeing deeply into the real
lives of others. We do not see the
hunger in the ambitious boys heart,
or understand the loads that people
carry behind their smiles.
Perhaps it is vision we need. Vision
is sight, plus sympathy and magma
ton. 'eWhere there is no vision, the
people perish" is the true word of
God. People bring down upon their
heads any sort of economic or social
setup if they do not have soulsight,
which is vision

Putnam Seeks Out
OF Soft Coal Dilemma,
Calls Meeting Monday
By jones Y. Newton

The administration today re-
portedly was still in dilemma on
what to do about the soft coal
wage case.
Economic Stabilizer Roger L.
Putnam scheduled a public hear
ing for Monday in the matter. He
invited John L. Lewis. head of the
United Mine Workers, and Harry
NJ. Moses, president of the Bitumi-
nous Coal Operators Association,
to testify before him.
The move apparently made no
one happy. 1t was expected that
both would appear, although Mr..
Lewis might send another officer
of his union. Both Mr.. Lewis and
Mr.. Moses were described as TAX
ing the position that the hearing
would accomplish little. They al
ready have submitted their argu-
ments for approval of the wage
increase to Mr.. Putnam.
Increase Clipped.
The coal crisis began four weeks
ago, when the Wage Sterilization
Board clipped 20 cents from the
$1.90 a day wage increase which
Mr.. Lewis had negotiated for his
375, 900 soft coal miners.
A strike of a week ensued. 1t
was called off after President
Truman promised a full review OF
the WSB decision. The miners
almost certainly would strike
again unless Mr.. Putnam over
rules the WSB.
And if Mr.. Putnam does over
rule, it was highly likely that in
dustry and public members Of
WSB would resign.
Program in Balance.
The whole economic controls
program hangs in the balance.
There were reports that President
Truman was considering dropping
all price and wage controls. He
probably would talk with Presi-
dent-elect Eisenhower before TAX
ing such a step. The general has
referred to the economic controls
program as nothing but weak
stop-gaps."
In any event it was highly
likely that in the end the miners
will get the 40 cents a day which
the WSB would deny them. The
board ruled that the full $1.90-a-
day increase would upset the
efforts to stabilize wages and
bring demands from other unions.

saying:

the Spaniard's love for her. and
of his financial gifts to the tele-
vision star. They said it also con-
tanned a threat against her and
the man who got in his way.

No Deficits In
81 Fiscal Year

The Philippines will end the cur
rent fiscal year not only without
deficit but actually with budget
airy surplus of close to Pr million.
This was the information given
by Budget Commissioner Pic Joven
at the cabinet meeting Friday.
Joven ascribed the unprecedented
surplus to brisk tax collections
owing to the series of tax reform
measures enacted by Congress last
year.
According to the picture con-
veyed in Joven's report, expected
income for the current fiscal year
will aggregate close to POGO million,
as against budgetary OUTLAWS of
P400 million. These items however
do not include items in the sup
Elemental budget and the peso
counterpart fund voted by Con-
gress at the beginning of the last
regular session, amounting to P50
million.
The Presidents Judiciary pro-
posal for next year is expected to
be bigger than this year, owing to
the operations of the minimum
wage law regarding government
personnel and the effectivity of the
teachers salary adjustment act.
Irrigation and Flood Control
The amount of PIP million is
earmarked for the construction of
the Agno River irrigation project
of the Bureau of Public Works in
Pangasinan. This project will irri-
gate 100000 hectares.
