Gov. Allan Shivers of Texas, who

on the Truman administration be-

the day, Attorney General Price
Daniel. who is slated for election

month, also took his stand with
Gen. Eisenhower.

continued, "Trumanism means big
government in Washington run by
little men. It means corruption,
Iineptness and inefficiency in high
places; the federation of Commu-
nists and communistic influence in
vital governmental positions; an
unstable and stalemated foreign
policy that bore the bitter fruit of
Korea; an accelerating trend
toward Capitalization of govern

OF All Red Suspects
From u. n. Positions
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-Charg-
ing the United Nations staff is
honeycombed with Americans
afraid to say if they ever were
Communists. Senator Herbert
O'Conor. Democrat OF. Maryland,
says these persons should be GUST
ed from the world organization.
Senator O'Conor. chairman of
a Senate internal security subcom-
mittee. made his statement yester-
day as witnesses refused to say
whether they have ever been Com
muniSts. Not one has answered
the question, so far.
O'COnor Displays Anger.
Angry and flushed, Senator
O'Conor said:
1T is very evident to the COM
mittee that the U. N. is honey
combed with individuals who are
afraid to testify unequivocally
whether or not they are members
of an organization to overthrow
the Governemnt of the United
States by force or violence.
1T is a disgrace that they take
that position, and I think it is the
duty Of the United States mission
Ito the U. NJ and the Secretary
General of the U. N. to have them
thrown out"
A wave of applause from spec
tators at the public hearing
greeted Senator O'Conor's state
ment.
The Secretary General of the
U. NJ, Trygve Lie, said last Sat-
urday that he did not want per-
sons "disloyal to their own
country on the U. N. staff.
Lie Cites His Position.
Mr.. Lie said that in the past
when he has received "clear and
convincing information from Off
cial United States sources, I have
always acted within the limit of
my authority to discharge
the persons concerned. I shall
continue to do so, but I shall not
act on mere suspicion or smears." I"
On the first day of the hear
ing Monday, four present U. N.
employees and one of the organ
ization's former employees refused
to say whether they ever were
Communists. Six more present
U. N. employees took the same
position at yesterdays hearings.
All based their refusal on the
constitutional ground of protect
ing themselves against possible
self determination.

all rights to his book, Crusade
in Europe" for $685. 900, on which
he paid a Federal capital gains
tax of $158,750. leaving a balance
of $476,250. AS the transaction
was of a homecoming nature,
the proceeds from the sale of the
book are not included in the state
ment shown above. The state
ment does include, after 1948. the
return on the investment of the
major portion of these proceeds
as we'll as the generals salary as
president of Columbia University
from June Z. 1948, through Feb
ruary %. 1851.
At the present time, returns
from investments represent Gen
Eisenhower's only income, as he
has resigned from the Army and
is on leave of absence without
salary from Columbia University

Dear Mr.. Virgins:
In accordance with our CONVEX
sation this morning, I herewith
submit the essentials Of the Ques-
ton posed to you:
FACTS.
Certain publishers have urged
me to write personal memoir of
the war years.
The proposal is that the pub
Usher take, in one transaction, the
complete bundle Of rights" that
normally apply to q piece of writ
ing. The sale would completely
divorce me from any further in
fluence or control over the manu-
script or its exploitation in any
field. There would be no further
income of any kind accruing to me
after the single transaction.
I am not in any sense q pro.
fessional writer. No income oil
any kind is derived by me from
any writing, speaking or related
activity.
The question below is important
to me, not only because I am
anxious to comply with every re-
quirement of law and of highest
ethical standards, but because or
its answer will largely depend

date of October II, 1852. from
DenUer:
Dear Arthur:
A press release which author
lied in New York City on Sep
tember 20 was taken by some to
constitute an implied promise to
publish statement as to personal
income for the last 10 years.
I have had, of course, no re-
sponsibility for political funds nor
have I ever held political Office.
Moreover. I am not conscious OF
any public interest in my per-
sonal finances. But, because OF
the Interpretation of my intent,
you are authorized to make avail
able for inspection by accredited
representatives of the press the
following information:
Before leaving New York City
on this current trip, arranged
for an appropriate compilation of
pertinent data from my Federal
income tax returns. From this
compilation. please show for the
10-year-pe period. ending December
81. 1851, the total of my taxable
income from salary, the total
income from investments, the in
come taxes paid the the amounts
left after taxes and authorized
deductions.
Because of some curiosity about
the publication of my book, "Cru-
SADIE in Europe" please also give
out separately complete informa-
tion on that transaction. including
total amount received. taxes paid,
and copies of all correspondence
between me and the United States
Treasury.
To complete the record, re-
quest that you also make clear
(a) Upon going to Europe in
early 1851, I took leave, without
salary, from Columbia University
when the trustees declined to con-
slider my. offer to resign.
(b) Upon returning from Eu-
rope to participate in pre-conven-
ton Republican activities, I re-
tired from the Army, stipulating
that such retirement would be
without pay. When nominated,
I resigned my commission. thereby
severing all connection with the
Army.

word, a private citizen. and with

Commissioner Of Internal -.-
Revenue. -
December %. 1947.,
My Dear General Eisenhower:
Undersecretary Virgins asked
me to reply to your letter Of De-
cember 20, 1947, in which you re-
quest advice with reference to the
following transaction: Certain
publishers have urged you to write
a personal memoir of the war
years. It is understood that you
proposed to sell to publisher in
one transaction, all of your right
title and interest in your literary
work, and that after such sale
you would have no further control
over the manuscript or its ex-
lploitation in any field or medium
of publication. You state that
there would be no further income
of any kind accruing to you after
the single transaction. You state
further that you are not a profes-
sional writer and that no income
of any kind is derived by you from
any writing or related activity.
You ask whether, for tax pur-
poses the bureau would regard the
transaction as giving rise to gair
taxable at capital gain rates, OF
whether the amount received By
you would be taxable as ordinary
income.
Under the facts stated. the
literary work would be a capita
asset in your hands. In accord.
ance with section lit Of the In
ternal Revenue Code, the sale O
such asset would result in gain K
you taxable as a long-term o.
short-term capital gain, depend'
ing upon the period of time tn.
asset is held by you. If 1t is helt
for not more than six months, th'
gain would be Short-term capita
gain. If it is held for more thar
six months. the gain would bt
long term capital gain. The basi'
to be used for computing such
gain would be the cost to you o1
producing the manuscript (sectior
113(A) Cd Of the Internal Rev.
enue Code). The holding perioc
for such literary property COM
mences with the date that you
complete the manuscript.
If the manuscript should take
more than SO months to complete
and be sold by you for a lump
sum within six months after its
completion, the provisions of Sec
ton 107(B) of the Internal Rev.
enue Code afford some relief from
the tax at short-term capital gain
rates which would otherwise re-
suit. ...
, If there are any further circum-
stances which you wish to have
considered in connection with
this proposed transaction, the
bureau will be happy to give them
careful consideration.

Gov. Stevenson's boyhood am
bition was to be a newspaperman.
He did work briefly on the family
paper, the Bloomington ull.) Panta-

the idea Of a political career, since it
was his conviction that as a moral
man the only course for him was to
enter politics. Originally, he had his
eye on the Senate. but when in 1948
Senator Douglas appeared to have
the prior commitment of the party
organization. Stevenson ran for Gov
ernor instead. No one knows just why
an unknown and unaSsertive candi-
date, speaking in the accents of fash
ionable Eastern schools (ChoAte and
Princeton was able to touch the
hearts of Midwestern voters as he did.
The fact remains that Stevenson ran
100000 ahead Of Douglas and 255, 900
ahead Of President Truman.
The overwhelming faith that Illi-

to restore Illinois to the column of
"good government" States is said to
be one of the reasons why Stevenson
has steadily avowed his reluctance
to take the presidency. In the four
years since he took office. he has won
a reputation as one of the best Gov
ernors Illinois ever had. Among his
accomplishments have been the ap-
pointment of responsible aides, ex-

habilitation, increased aid to public
schools. Under his guidance, Illinois
mental institutions, rated as bar

publican regime, have been brought
UP to level Of the top quarter in the
country. So have the homes for the
aged. He broke up a ring Of counter
feiters Of cigarette tax stamps and
cracked down on gambling. The fact
that he managed to accomplish all
