Diplomat Loses
St,133 Pay for
Security Laxity
KohIer, Who Carried
Papers While Drunk,
Also Faces Transfer
By Gornett D. Horner

The State Department today
ANNOUNCED suspension for 80 days
without pay for Foy D. Kohler.
career diplomat who was arrested
for public drunkenness in nearby
Virginia recently while carrying
secret papers.
The disciplinary action, based
on a finding that Mr.. Kohler
violated security regulations by
not properly safeguarding secret
documents, also will include:
/. An official reprimand to be
made part of Mr.. Kohler's per-
Sonnel file and so work against q
future promotion.
2. Relieving him of his duties as
a member of the Policy Planning
Staff in the department and as
signing him elsewhere, probably to
a subordinate post abroad.
The 30-day payless suspension
will be, in effect, a much heavier
penalty for Mr.. Kohler than the
$8.75 he forfeited on the drunken
ness charge made by Arlington
police. His annual salary is $13,-
600. so the suspension will cost
him $1.133.
Penalty Called Tough.
Some department officials con-
cerned in the matter described the
three-point disciplinary action as
tough punishment for the offense
involved. They said it would have
been even sitter, however. except
for the superior record of Mr..
Kohler in the Foreign Service for
81 years before this incident.
The Board of the Foreign Servv
ice took this record into consider
alton in agreeing to recommend
the reprimand. suspension and
change of assignment.
A public announcement of the
boards recommendations, ap-
proved at a meeting late yesterday.
and their implementation by the
State Department was issued to-
day.
The charges grew out of an au-
tomobile accident about 2 am. De-

flning her $3.50 and sentencing
her to 80 days in jail-with all
but three hours of the Jail term
suspended. She is appealing.
Mr.. Kohler, charged with the
lesser offenSe of being drunk in
public, firmly gripped a briefcase
when police arrived. He saiG it
contained secret papers and had
been locked in the trunk of his
car. State Department officials
finally picked it up. If Mr..
Kohler. had not made such a
fuss over guarding the briefcase.
the fact that he was carrying
secret papers might not have been
disco overed.
Mt. Kohler has held posts in
Bucharest. Athens. Cairo, London
and Moscow. where he was charge
d'affaires at one time. He re-
turned to the United States from
Moscow in 1949 to head the Voice
of America.

Mccarthy Case Rests
with Entire Senate,
Elections Unit Report,
Group Roises Questions
| On Funds to Fight Reds;
He Dures Custer Move
By Cecil HoIlond

The Senate Elections Subcom-
mittee has filed. without recon-
mendations. it's long delayed re-
port on the activities of Senator
cCarthy, Republican, of Wis
consin. including an account OF
some of his financial transactions
and said the issue raised lis one
for the entire Senate"
Senator Mccarthy Immediately
challenged the members Of the
three-man subcommittee to try
to bar him from being sworn in
today for his second term, and
added:
IF they do not, they will have
proved their complete dishonesty"
The report, released yesterday
raised series Of questions about
Senator Mccarthy which in
|cluded:
/. Whether he used funds sup
piled him for his nti-CommuniSt
drive for soybean speculation on
the commodity market and
whether he had confidential in
formation with respect to the
trend of the soybean future mar
ket."
2. Whether he used friends and
members of his family to con-
ceal his income, commodity and
stock speculation and "other f.
nancial transactions for ulterior
motives"
3. Whether some of his activi-
ties for such special interest
groups as housing. sugar and
china were motivated by self
interest"
LustrOn Payment Cited.
4. Whether he can justify his
acceptance of a $4,000 payment
from the now defunct Lustron
Corp. for a booklet on housing at
a time when he was a member OF
the Senate Banking Committee
and Lustron's operations depended
upon RFC financing and when
the agency, in turn, was dependent
upon Congress for continued
authority.
/ Senator Hennings, Democrat, OF
| Missouri, the subcommittee chair
man, said a copy of the report
and the subcommittee's files will
be made available to the Justice
Department and the Bureau o1
Internal Revenue "for any action
deemed appropriate by such
agencies"
The report noted. however, that
this will not resolve the issue
which it said is "a matter that
transcends partisan politics and
goes to the very core of the Sem
ate body's authority. integrity and
the respect in which it is held
by the people of this country"
The subcommittee made a point
of seeing that copies of the report
were sent to every member of the
Senate before it was released to
the press. They were delivered
on the eve of the opening session
of the Republican controlled 83d
Congress. but there was no indi-
cation of any move to block SEN
ator Mccarthy from taking his
seat.
Mccarthy Sees Smear.
Senator Mccarthy issued a
statement shortly after the report
was released. describing what was
said about him as "a new low III
dishonesty and smear"
He said it was an attempt by
Democratic "lackeys" to block
proposed investigations by the
Senate investigating committee he
is scheduled to head by discourag-
ing other Senators from accept
ing places on 1T.
He added:
They should know by this time

bill for Cut Of II Pct.
I'm Income Tax June 81
To Be Offered Today
Reed Also Would Permit
Excess Profits Levy to
Expire at Same Time
By the Associated Press

The new chairman of the House
Ways and Means Committee
called on Congress today to reduce
income taxes on most individuals
by about II per cent effective June
I3O.
Representative Reed, Republi-
can of New York. announcing he
was introducing bill for this tax
relief on the opening day of Con-
lgress. said thousands of small
taxpayers have placed their
trust in the Republican Party"
Mr.. Reed. whose committee must
start all tax legislation. also urged
that excess profits taxes, now
bringing in an estimated $2.5 bill
lion annually. be allowed to expire
simultaneously with the income
tax cut on June 80.
The June 80 expiration date for
excess profits taxes is automatic
under present laws. These laws
also provide an II per cent in
come tax cut-but not until De-
cember 81.
Help for individuals.
Mr.. Reed made it clear-and
many Congressman apparently
share the view-he doesn't want
a big tax reduction for business
right away. while making indi-
IvidualS wait.
There were some signs Mr.. Feed
may want to push his bill through
quickly, possibly without long
hearings, so the Senate would
have plenty of time to act by June
I30. Then he would be ready to
proceed with a more thorough tax
study.
But some committee members
were sure to object, favoring in
stead a full airing of broad tax
questions before any action. They
also want to see first how the
budget is coming out.
Representative Boggs, Democrat
of Louisiana. a committee men,
ber, told a reporter he favored Mr..
Reeds idea of simultaneous iadi-
vidual and excess profits tax re-
ductionS but thought excise
(sales) tax cuts definitely should
be considered"
Would Repeal Levy.
Representative Dingell of Mich
igan announced introduction of q
bill to repeal the amusements tax
Mr.. Dingell said the tax, which
adds 20 per cent to the price Of
theater tickets. is forcing many
movie houses to close and is bring
ling devastation upon the motion
picture industry"
He said movies are suffering
from competition from television
Representative Simpson, Repub-
lican, of Pennsylvania, another
committee member, tossed in q
bill to grant relief to business
firms suffering hardships under
the excess profits law. His bill
would be retroactive to apply tt
the full fiscal year ending June 80
Mr.. Reed, in a prepared speech
said his tax-cut bill would reduce
Federal income by only $1.8 billior
in the fiscal year starting mex
July /, from an estimated $50 bill.
lion this fiscal year. With a tight
check on spending, he said
1--we can have the tax relief pro-
Evided in my bill and also achieve
our major goal of q balanced
budget"
The present high individual in
come tax rates are preventing al
lsegments Of our people from
realizing higher standard oi
living" Mr.. Reed said.

Washington through the COM
mittee's selling job, adding
another $40 million to our visi-
tor income.
Several points are of great
Importance in connection with
this visitor spending. First this
money left by these folks is
new money - dollars earned
elsewhere, but spent here. It is
not an exchange of dollars
earned by workers in this city
and spent within the city. Sec
ondly, this money is diffused
throughout the economy Of the
city to everybody's benefit. The
first recipients of the visitor dol
lar must pass the money along
to supplierS, buy homes. pay
rent. pay their electric bills. buy
insurance, shop at our stores, in
fact respend this money in every
conceivable business in the city"
Mr.. Dunn urged all businesses
to respond quickly and gener-
ouSly to the drive.
This is a community effort,
helping every one and the only
opportunity for our businesses
to combine in one firm effort to

5,OOOFundAsked
BY Trade Board Unit
ToDraw tourists Here

a $l35 600 minimum goal for
this years drive to get more con-
yentionS and visitors here was
set yesterday by officials of the
Greater National Capital Com
mittee.
The Washington Board of
Trade group noted that this is
the committees largest goal, but
takes account of other cities with
higher budgets in this field. The
business, officials explained, is
Washington'S largest single pri-
vate industry and is second only
to the Federal payroll as a
revenue producer.
r. Roy Dunn. president of
Potomac Electric Power Co., will
head the campaign for funds.
Committee Chairman James E.
Collif1ower said the campaign
will be held in May. He declared !:
This is the largest amount
ever sought for, our committee
and this goal was established
only after looking carefully into
our full needs. for the year be-
ginning July /.
After Same Dollar.
"We have had to take into &C
count the ever-increaSing budg-
cts of our competitive cities and
vacation areas. Such cities as
/ Miami Beach, Atlantic City, New
York, Chicago and many others
/ all of which are after the same
tourist dollar that we are-have
promotional funds of upwards Of
a quarter million dollars to use
to get their share of the great
American travelling public. Since
the revenue received by our mer-
chants, hotels, restaurants, retail
stores and the other types of
business in Washington is sec
ond only to that received from
the huge Government payroll,
we must, for our own good, keep
this great visitor traffic coming
into Washington"
Aiding Mr.. Dunn in the drive
will be Alfred A. McGarraghy,
owner of Sholl's Cafeteria, Four
teenth street near Pennsylvania
avenue NV.
Campaign Chairman Dunn as
serted:
"The $135,OOo goal, while
SIS. 900 above that of last year,
actually represents our absolute
minimum requirement if we are
to maintain the 5000 million
revenue which the Federal Re-
serve Bank estimates we re-
ceived this year in return for
our efforts to attract tourists
and conventions to Washington.
Festival Cited.
Zone Of the best examples of
the benefits we in Washington
receive from the Greater Nat
ional Capital Committees work
is the current CHEEKY Blossom
Festival. In any other city, the
sponsors of such a mammoth
affair would spend more than
our entire goal. for this one
event alone, while here, 1t is. only
one activity of the Greater
National Capital Committee.
Added to the more than 100000
visitors who come to the city
during the festival period,

said he believed that Judge Hall
has unusual qualifications for the
national Craftsmanship. State
ments favoring Judge Hall were
issued, too. by William L. Pfeiffer,
Republican state chairman, and
Mrs. Charles w. Weiss, Repub-
lican national committeewoman.
The 52-year-old Judge will
have a real job on his hands if
he becomes national chairman.
The congressional elections next
year are regarded as of extreme
Importance both by the Repub-
ncans and the Democrats. In the
present Congress-, the Republi-
cans hold control in the Senate
through the single vote of Vice
President Nixon, in a case of a
tie. In the House. the Republi-
cans have a Seven-member lead
over the Democrats. The Demo-
Gratis are encouraged by the fact
that only twice in the last hun
dred years has the party in power
failed to lose congressional seats
in the mid-presidential term elec-
tions. 49,.
The Republican leaders ex-
press confidence, however, that
with popular President Eisen-
hover on their side-even though
he will not be running himself
they can increase their lead in
Congress at the elections next
year.
