Byrnes, Republican, of Wisconsin
a member of the seven-man House
Ways and Means Subcommittee
which has exposed widespread
corruption and irregularities in
the Governments tax system.
Mr.. Byrnes expressed surprise
that the administration did not
consult with the subcommittee
before announcing the far-reach-
ing reorganization plan. He added
that he not only was not informed
in advance of the proposal but
had not received a copy of the
suggested serevamping Of the bu-
reau's far flung organization.
Democrats Skeptical.
Two other Republican members
of the Observation-Disclosures
Itatives Keen of New Jersey and
Curtis of Nebraska-also ques-
toned whether the proposed plan
would go far enough.
"It's probably one step in the
right direction" he commented.
From Democratic members
came a measure of skepticism
bearing out the belief that the
proposal, when it reaches Con-
greSs, will become a sounding
board for the tax scandals in par
ticular and influence peddling in
general.
Senator Russell, Democrat. of
Georgia, suggested that Congress
would do we'll to go slowly and
see that everything is cleaned up
before throwing the blanket Of
civil service over all those posi-
tons"
Has Doubts About Change.
Senator johnson, Democrat, Of
Colorado, said the shakeup OBJ
'Iviously was needed and added:
1 "But I'm not completely sold
/, on the idea you can't appoint
good men under the present sys-
tenn"
\ Mr.. Truman announced the re-
organization proposal in a sur
prise move yesterday that came
in the wake of the tax scandals
which have rocked the bureau and
the Justice Department and have
given the Republicans a major
domestic issue for the 1862 pres
idential campaign.
The basic program includes the
abolishment of the Offices of the
presidentially-appointed 81 COL
lectors of internal revenue
throughout the country and the
creation of not more than Is Of
fees headed by a district COM
missioner with broad authority for
handling tax matters. In addition,
the proposed plan would provide
for a strong inspection service to
keep the bureaus operations and
personnel under close scrutiny to
protect the Government from
what President Truman described
as "the insidious inf1uence ped
dlers and favor seekers and to ex-
pose and punish any wrongdoing."
The basic part of the program
will be presented to Congress as
a reorganization plan, which will
become effective unless either the
Senate or House votes disapproval
of it. =.
Neither Mr.. Truman, in his an
nouncement, nor Commissioner of
Revenue John B. Dunlap, in @
later news conference explaining
the reorganization plan in more
detail, disclosed where the offices
of district commission ors would
be established.
Locations Now Tentative.
Mr.. Dunlap said plans for locat-
ing the offices are only tentative
at present. But, as an example,
he said New York City, with its
tremendous tax collections, might
be a district in itself, or the State
might be one. There are at present
six collectors of revenue in New
York State alone.
Asked about Washington, which
now is in the Baltimore district.
Mr.. Dunlap said consideration
would be given to setting UP a

the Merker Counter Co., Inc. $135,-
329. The Justification was alleged

indictments vacated, contending

tertain the dismissal motions and
an appeal was taken which can
not be heard by the United States

Russia Proposes U. N. Council
Intervene in Korean ParIeys>
Act to Ease World Tensions
U. S. Delegation
Frowns on Move,
Cites Veto Power
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Jan. 3.-Soviet Russia
in a surprise move, proposed to-
day that the United Nations Sc
curity Council intervene in the
Korean armistice negotiations. It
asked that both Korea and the
lessening of world tensions be
considered at a high level, pos
sibly by foreign ministers or chiefs
Of state.
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei
Vishinsky submitted the proposal
to the 60-nation Political Com
mittee after a long speech de-
nouncing a Western collective ac-
ton plan, and limiting ominouSly
at events to come in Southeast
Asia.
The American delegation i'm
mediately frowned on the Vishin-
sky proposal. Pending official
comment. United States sources
said the Soviet resolution was in
acceptable.

Vishinsky proposal. They said
the prospect of peace in Korea
would be worSened through
such a session, since it would
of necessity bring in political
issues, something both the
United States and the U. N.
have been trying to ayoid0
The American informants
pointed out that the United
States favors continuation of COL
lective measures as an important
factor in the U. N. efforts for
peace. They said the call for a
Security Council meeting has
been made before without re-
sponse from the Russians, who
would not recognize Nationalist
China as a member of the Coun-
Gil.
Reds Could Veto Plan.
The Americans said that since
the Soviets have veto power in the
Council, it would be useless to
bring the Korean armistice
negotiations to that body, adding
that the place for successful con-
clusion of such talks is in Korea,
with the veto-free General AS
sembly deciding later on a
political settlement.
Mr.. Vishinsky proposed that the
Council be called under Article %
of the U. N. Charter which au-
thorizeS governments to send
chiefs OF state or foreign ministers
as delegates to such Council
meetings. This made the pro-
posal look like another version of
the U. S. S. R. acknowledgement
of its current peace offensive-for
a f1ve-power meeting, including
Red China, to bring about a pact
of peace.
The Soviet suggestion was offer

delivered a 37-page speech de-
nouncing the Western draft as one
that could lead only to war. He
said the American-sponsored pro-
posals "boils down to sanctions
in other words, war"
In that speech, Mr.. ViShinsky
limited at things to come in Asia
He accused the United States OF
ferrying Chinese Nationalist troops
into Wet Nam, Burma and Thai
land for an attack on the Chinese
Reds. These measures, he said
would be described as defensive
when military operations begin
against Southern China"
Start of Korean War Recalled.
This called to mind the begin

Communists charged that the
United States was the aggressor
and the Chinese Intervention in
Korea, when similar charge was
made.

S. african Court
Includes Je1Ury In
Historical Ruling

JOHANNESBURG (JTA)-The
possibility that the Nationalist
governments segregation laws
may affect the civic rights of
Jews in South Africa was under
lined by the Unions highest
court, it was established after a
detailed study of last months de-
cision by the South African Ap-
pellate Division declaring uncon-
stitutional the governments law
setting up separate voting and
representation standards for the
European and so-called colored
populations of the country.
In illustrating what it consid-
cred an unconstitutional attempt
by the government to disqualify
voters for reasons of race and
color, the court used hypotheti-
cal case to show that an attempt
to disqualify "a member of the
Jewish race" on the grounds of
race would be unconstitutional.
There is no indication in the de-
ciSion why the justice who wrote
it used the Jewish race" as an
example and some circles ques-
ton whether this was meant as
warning of a possible danger
to the Jews in the governments
policy of segregation.
This portion of the decision
was criticized by Die Transvaler,
publication of the Transvaal Sec
ton of the Nationalist Party,
which expressed the hope that
the reference to Jews in the de-
cision would not be exploited
by party politicians for the intro
duction of Jewish issue" in a
matter where it clearly does not
belong at all" The newspaper
said that the reference to Jews
in the courts decision sis only
incidental (though apparently
significant aspect) of the judg-
ment."

The American Legion and other

strongly criticized Goff's bigoted
activities. Former Governor John

Johnson have repudiated Goff's
support in past campaigns. The
Veterans of Foreign Wars in Kan
sas City labeled Gof's activities
as violently anti-Catholic, anti
Jewish and rousing class, religious
and race hatred"
Sen. Eugene Milliken, head of
the Taft organization in Colorado,
explained that what we have &C
cepted is the people who favor
General Macarthur. We have
not invited Golf or any group like
that into our organization" Saul

Sen. Millikin's statement of clari-
fcation "was not specific enough"

ties, like individuals, are judged
by the company they keep"
