Eisenhower's Economics
%. 0. P. Forced to Postpone
Its Drive for Hard Dollar
But Administration Still Is Seeking
To Take Some Steam Out of the Boom

the eye of the average citizen.
Still. it is big news. The point
about hard money is that it is
not easy to get. And so the
Government need to get money
for it's own uses has meant re-
versing for the time being at
least, most of the devices the
Eisenhower team had been using
to harden up our economy and
make our money sound"
When Candidate Eisenhower
stumped the country last fall he
discussed many subjects, but
none was discussed to more tell
ing effect than this subject of
sound money" At whistlestop
after whistlestop, he used a piece
of board to illustrate his point,
breaking off pre-sawed parts of
it to show the shrinking pur-
chasing power of the dollar. On
more formal occasions, he used
statistics on postwar imitation in
stead of the board. But his point
was still the same one: America
was threatened by an imitation
which must be halted.

For Showdown Fight

Three Senators Seeking
Directors ScuIp May
Have Proxy of Fourth
By Cecil HoIIond

Senator Mccarthy has called
a meeting at 3 pm. today for a
showdown fight with his own
Investigating Subcommittee over
retaining j. B. Matthews as staff
director.
The Wisconsin Republican set
the closed meeting at the re-
quest of three Democratic men,
bers of the subcommittee-Mc-
Clellan of Arkansas, Jackson of
wisconsin and Symington of
Missouri.
They have charged that an
article by Mr.. Matthews, who
was named to the top committee
staff post only two weeks ago, was
"a shocking and unwarranted
attack against the American
clergy"
They called for appropriate
action" against Mr.. Matthews
for what he wrote in the July
issue of the American Mercury
magazine. In the article Mr..
Matthews said:
THE largest single group sup
porting the Communist appa-
ratuS in the United States is
composed Of Protestant clergy
men,"
Want Director Ousted.
While they did not specify
what they meant by appropriate
action, the Senators have left
little double about their feelings
that Mr.. Matthews should be dis
missed.
They were reported to have the
support of Senator Potter, Re-
publican, Of Michigan to give
them q majority of the seven
member subcommittee. The sub
committee, headed by Senator
Mccarthy. is composed Of four
Republicans and the three Dem
ocratS.
Senator Potter, who publicly
questioned whether Mr.. Mat
thews should remain on the staff,
was understood to have given the

House Leaders Hone
ToCa|| Up Profit Tax
For Debate Friday
Martin Predicts Bill
Will Be Approved by
Reed Group Tomorrow

House leaders today told Pres
ident Eisenhower they hoped to
get the excess profits tax ex-
tension bill up for debate Fri
day, although Speaker Martin
said it might go over until next
week.
The President, holding his
weekly meeting with Capitol
Hill lieutenants, got a general
review of the entire legislative
program with particular empha-
sis on the tax measure which
has been held up by Chairman
Daniel Reed of the Ways and
Means Committee.
Approval Forecast.
Speaker Martin predicted to
reporters later that the commit
tee, scheduled to meet at 8 am.
tomorrow. will approve the ex-
tension bill. He said Representa-
tive Simpson, Republican, of
Pennsylvania is expected to move
out the bill on which the House
leadership at one stage threaten
ed TO bypass Chairman Reed.
II think we have sufficient
votes" to get the tax bill out of
committee, Mr.. Martin said. He
added that he wants to bring it
to the floor of the House on Fri
day, if possible.
The Speaker said that either
of the two excess profits tax
bills that the Ways and Means
Committee is considering would
be acceptable to the admins
tration.
Would Raise Exemption.
One is the straight six-month
extension to carry the levy
through December 81; the other
would raise from $4,000 to
100000 the net earnings on
which a corporation could be
exempt.
Advocates of the extension are
not likely to leave a possible
opening through which Mr..
Reed, as chairman, could call
up the bill on the floor. Such
a procedure would leave it open
to amendment. And Mr.. Reed
might be quick to offer an in
dividual income tax reduction
amendment. Last January he
sponsored a bill for an IL per
cent cutback June 80 instead of
December 81, as scheduled un-
der present law.

Control Transit
Measure includes
BroyhiII Proposal
For Traffic Study
By Don S. Worren

The Senate Commerce COM
mittee today proposed dual at
tack on the mass transportation
problems of Greater Washington.
1t approved, with some re-
visions, the Broyhill bill passed
by the House for the creation of
a commission of II members to
make year-long study of bridge,
highway and transportation fa-
cilities in the Greater Washing
ton area.
But it made this the second
section of the House bill and
inserted as section / the Ian
guage of the Johnson bill, passed
earlier by the Senate. for the
creation of a Metropolitan Area
transit commission to take over
regulation of bus. streetcar and
taxicab services in the District
and neighboring areas of Mary
land and Virginia.
Ask ID. c. Group Review.
Thus, the Senate committee,
headed by Senator Tobey. Re-

tied up the two different propos-
ais in a single package.
Also, the Senate Commerce
Committee will ask the Senate
to refer this single package bill
to the Senate District Commit
tee for a review there before the
Senate takes it up for action.
This is the same procedure fol-
lowed in March before the Sen
ate passed the johnson control
commission bill. The reason is
that the legislation affects the
District as we'll as interstate
commerce.
Senator johnson, Democrat, of
Colorado, ranking minority men,

Committee. announced last Sat-
urday he would fight for enact
ment OF the Senate bill to set up
the regional control commission.
A contest was anticipated be-
cause the Commerce Committee
report on the Johnson bill had
protested that there had been
one investigation and study after
another and that what was need
ed was action and regional reg
ulation instead of another sur
vey report.
BrOyhill Agreeable.
However, when Senate Com
merce Committee reported its
combined bill today. the Colorado
Senator seemed quite satisfied,
saying: We are all one big happy
family"
He added that Representative
Broyhill, Republican, of Virginia.
author of the House passed study
commission bill, was agreeable
to having the two different pro-
posals combined into one meas
ure.
In its action today, the Senate
Commerce Committee struck
from the study commission sec
ton OF the revamped bill a para
graph directing the commission
to consider the establishment of
the control commission unless
this was covered in the other Sec
ton OF the combined measure.
Representative Hyde. Republi-
can. of Maryland. member of the

said he saw no conflict in the

Purses Stolen
By Intruder Linked
To Toggort Murder

The full weight of the Police
Department was thrown today
into the duckpin murder of
Alyce o. Taggart, now believed
almost definitely the work of a
house prowler.
Shocked by the crime, police
hauled in more than 200 persons
for questioning, but none was
classified as a hot" suspect.
Her face beaten almost beyond
recognition, the skull crushed by
many blows. Miss Taggart was
found yesterday morning on the
floor of her room in SCOTS Hotel
for Women, 213O o street NV.
From the available evidence,
the crime bore the stamp of SEX
robbery. After questioning Miss
Taggart's known male friends,
police were inclined to believe the
45-year-old Government secre-
tary was the victim of a prowler
who probably struck while she
was asleep.
JanitOr Released.
A 33-year-old neighborhood
janitor, questioned since his ar
rest at 2 am. tday, was released
shortly after noon. Police picked
him up because he failed to re-
turn to his home until the early
morning hour.
He was screened. along with
about 20 others, by homicide and
sex squad experts. but there was
no evidence on which to hold
him.

are being conducted.
Reports of at least two and
perhaps three purse thefts that
night, as we'll as one report of a
proWler actually being seen in
the hotel. pointed strongly
toward the prowler-s layer
theory.
Intruder Seen In Hall.

President May Send
Nixon 10 Far East
As Goodwill Envoy
Personal Representative
Status Would Permit
Conference With Rhee
By Jack Bell
Associated Press Stoff Writer

President Eisenhower is con-
templating sending Vice Presi-
dent Nixon on a trip to Asia
as a goodwill ambassador after
Congress adjourns.
Although plans still are in the
formative stage, those who re-
ported the Presidents intention
said the State Department is
working on an itinerary which
would take the Vice President to
most of the non-C Communist
countries in the Far East in what
might wind up eventually as a
trip around the world.
Gen. Eisenhower was said to
be wen pleased by results OBJ
tanned by Secretary of State
Dulles and Mutual Security Di-
rector Harold Stassen on a recent
trip to the Near East<The Presi-
dent apparently believes Mr..
Nixon could help iron out some
rough spots in United States re-
lations with Asiatic countries.
Could Talk With Rhee.
Mr. Nixon would go as Gen.
EisenhoWer's personal represent
ative and as such would be avail
able for talks with President
Syngman Rhee of South Korea
if the occasion arose for such
discussions.
Recently Gen. Eisenhower told
Senators he was willing to send
any man in the Government for
such talks with Mr.. Rhee and
it was Immediately assumed he
had either Mr.. Dulles or Mr.
Nixon in mind.
Mr.. Dulles said later the Presi-
dent was discussing the possibil-
ity of talks with Mr.. Rhee after
the signing of a Korean truce
and before a peace conference
might begin.
May Have Political Tinge.
| Mr.. Nixon's trip originally was
brought up for discussion at the
White House before the difficult
ties arose over Mr.. Rhee's re-
fusal to go along with proposed
truce terms.
| In his talks with the officials
of the foreign countries, Mr.
Nixon would be armed not only
with credentials as the Presi-
dents personal representative,
but he would carry with him an
intimate knowledge of American

parently is aimed primarily at

could have political by-product

This new development came as
an authoritative South Korean
source said efforts to win Pres
ident Syngman Rhee over to an
armistice will fail unless the
United States comes up with
"a new proposal satisfactory to
Rhee."

been in recess since June 20 after

not meet with Mr.. Rhee today
The third time in IL days they
have not conferred. The two

spokesman told news confer
ence the next move is up to
Washington"
Asked If he thought the talks
had failed, the spokesman re-
piled:
"All I can say is that the talks
are still continuing"
No Progress with Rhee.
The Rhee- Robertson talks are
deadlocked as a result of Mr..
Rhee's stubborn insiStence that
the United States agree to re-
sumo fighting if a post-armistice
political conference fails to pro-
gress toward peaceful unif1ca-
ton of Korea within three
months.
A well-informed South Korean
source said bluntly today that
no progress toward an agree
ment can be expected unless Mr..
Robertson produces a new pro-
poSal.
So far, he said, Mr.. Rhee has
rejected American compromise
plans because they offer him
nothing concrete.
Demonstrations Staged.
Two groups of about 1000
demonstrators each shouted and
waved banners calling for q
march to the Yalu River
