the Ways and Means Com
mittee.
Nor is the problem confined
merely to taxes. Ways and
Means also has jurisdiction
over social security, customs
modernization and reciprocal
trade. These are all fields in
which the Eisenhower admin
istration is anxious to move.
A chairman and committee
harshly overridden on taxes
might well roadblock the other
administration plans.
The Senators believe now
that the President will state
his goals plainly. They have
also suggested that for the oc-
caSion he might don rather
more rosy-colored spectacles
than his major cabinet officers
have been wearing lately.
They are almost as worried,
however, by his tactical plans
for action, which naturally
they do not expect him to
discuss over a Nationwide
hookup. How will he get
around Mr.. Reeds fiery de-
termination to cut taxes as a
debt of honor from the Repub-
lican campaign? What COM
promises, if any, is he pre-

David Lawrence:

The CIO Political Action
Committee has begun to snipe
at resident Eisenhower's
golfing, cruising and fishing.
Their weekly publication has
begun a tally on his hours of
recreation.
The CIO folks might better
have shown some concern over
the fact that Gen. Eisenhower,
under union concepts and the
eight-hour law, would really
be entitled to time and a half
in pay for all hours above 40
a week that he works. If the
CIO Political Action Commit
tee is interested in the hours
that the President works, as
we'll as those he plays, they
would find that he actually
works from SIS to so hours a
week. But the CIO isn't sug-
gesting an increase in pay.
All Presidents have found
1t necessary to get relief from
the White House tension. This
correspondent defended Presi-
dent Truman when, on the oc-
casion of his visits to Key
West, there we're critics who
begrudged Mr.. Truman rest
and relaxation. Back in the
days of President Wilson, a
Democratic President, political
opponents were far more
respectful. Mr.. Wilson used to
go golf1ng two or three times
a week and went for a long
auto ride on the days he didn't
play golf. But nobody criti-
cized him for this. Manners
were better then.
Attacks on the personal life
of a President are hitting
below the belt. The job of
being President of the United
States carries more RESPONSE
bility and worry than any
other office in the world.
Lately one distinguished visi-
tor who knew Gen. Eisenhower
well in Europe remarked on

pared to make on other issues
to get tax solution?
Senator Taft has now come
out with it: If the solution is
left to Congress, little will be
done, according to that frank
man.
The best that the tax
leaders Of the Senate-Sena-
tor Millikin and the ranking
Democrat, Senator George
can suggest is that a summer
recess might cool off some Of
the more stubborn lawmakers.
They could not now act be-
fore fall anyway. Their coun-
sci will be: "Send them home
in August and bring them
back after Labor Day or even
later"
Such genuinely anxious dis
cussions on the Hill do have
a diverting side. It has long
been the fashion there to COM
plain bitterly of the dictator
Presidents who won't listen to
the Congress. After only four
months of the great change,
the Congress is now bending
its eager ear toward 1900
Pennsylvania avenue and
clamoring for leadership.

Constantine Brown:

A strong lobby, represent
ing diverse interests, is now be-
ing built up in Washington to
prevent the confirmation of
Admiral Arthur Radford as
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff.
A number Of influential re-
tired generals who are already
alarmed over the future of the
Air Force because of the econ
on1y policy of the administra-
ton see the Radford nomina-
ton as another blow to that
branch of national defense.
They have important friends
inside and outside the Senate
who are willing to cooperate
to block the confirmation of
the new chairman designate.
The group maintains that
Admiral Radford, who was the
center of the controversy in
1949 when Admiral Louis Den
field was dismissed as Chief of
Naval Operations, might now
handle the problems of the
Air Force with personal pref
udice. Admiral Radford was a
strong opponent of the B-36
bomber in 1949. Hence. the
conclusion of the Air Force
that he is opposed to the con-
cept of strategic bombing.
Admiral Radford's oppo-
nents are strongly supported
in the Senate by Senator Stu
art Symington, former Secre-
tary for Air in the Truman ad-
ministration, who is said to be
determined to do anything in
his power to block that con-
firmation. Although a fresh
= man Senator, Symington is
a member of the Armed
Services Committee because of
his past positions in the Gov
ernment and his personal
ability and commands a good
deal of respect from his col
leagues.
Senator Symington undoubt-
edly will pull out all the stops
by availing himself of all the
records he has as a former
Secretary for Air during the
1949 controversial period and
he will be able to present a
strong case against President
Eisenhower's nominee. Ac-
cording to rumors from the
Senate cloakroom, he has
already enlisted the support of

"I see." said the Old-Timer,
that Secretary Hobby and
Secretary Benson have joined
the Caveat Emptor Club"
Don't believe I know that
club"
Founded by Secretary
Weeks to promote the fine old
principle of letting the buyer
beware. You remember how
he bumped the Director of the
Bureau of Standards out of
his job because he was being
too objective concerning COM
mercial products sent to the
bureau for analysis. Well,

Education and Welfare and
the Secretary of Agriculture
have qualified themselves and

Howe"
1T wasn't easy. When they
took Office they found their
two departments participating
in a program to clean up some
of the wheat and other grain
being sold to the American
people, Seems that a lot of
it was going on the market
not only infested with weevils,
but polluted by rats. That is,
the rats had left behind them
unpleasant evidence that they
had been in the grain. Secre-
tary Benson and Secretary
Hobby carried on the cleanup
campaign for a time. she
through the Pure Food and
Drug Administration which is
in her department. The
bakers and other users of
grain cheered them, but some
of the big grain dealers raised
a terrible row. The grain
dealers won. The Government
has stopped condemning the
infested grain, saying it will
depend hereafter on the VOL
untary efforts of the grain
handlers. So: Caveat emptor!
Let the buyer beware!"
Isn't Secretary Mckay a
member of the club?"
II think he's still on proba-
ton. He may make it on
account of his efforts in behalf
of private power interests, but
he isn't careful enough about
the things he says. He agrees.

The question of using the
word memorial" in the title of
their community library touched
off a hunt for a new name last
night among members of the
Connecticut Avenue Citizens As
sociation.
It started when Mrs. Joseph
L. Miller, outgoing president,
read a letter she had received
from DR.. George F. Bowerman.
head librarian of the District
from 1904 to 1910. DR.. Bower
man expressed concern lest the
word "memorial"-and the abb
sence of the word "branch"-
raise doubt in the minds of the
Board Of Library Trustees as to
whether the library is a private
enterprise or a bona flde branch
of the District library system, as
intended.
The project was planned seven
years ago as a memorial to the
men and women in uniform
during World War II. Construc-
ton started last summer on Con-
necticut avenue, between Ma
comb and Newark streets NV,
and is scheduled for completion
this summer.
The tentative title, on a
wooden sign out front, reads,

IF this thing is going to af-
feet future appropriations for

FTC Continues Fight
On Cigarette Ads
After Losing in Court

Faced with court decisions that
cigarettes are not drugs. the Fed
eral Trade Commission has
switched to its usual administra-
tive proceedings to challenge
! cigarette advertising claims.
1t announced today that hear
ings have been set for June in
washington on complaint
against Ligget & Myers Tobacco
80, The complaint questions the
advertising claims for Chester
field cigarettes that they are al
ways milder," "better tasting"
cooler smoking" and leave mo
unpleasant aftertaste."
The FTC's efforts to establish
that cigarettes are drugs were
made in petition for a Federal
Court injunction, which would
have halted some advertising of
Chesterf1elds.
The agency has authority to
request injunctions to stop adver-
tising it alleges is false or mis-
leading when food, drugs and
cosmetics are concerned.
U. S. District Court Judge
Irving r. Kaufman in New York,
however, ruled against the ETC.
He held that Congress did not
have cigarettes in mind as a
drug when it wrote the food and
drugs laws.
The commission appealed.
Earlier this month, the Court of
Appeals in New York upheld the
District Court and threw out the
FTC plea. It is regarded as un-
likely that the commission will
carry the case to the Supreme
Court.
In bringing the test case, the
FTC was seeking a short cut to
accomplish it's ends. Adminis-
trstive hearings on an FTC COM
plant are usually long drawn
out proceedings, The complaint
on which hearings are scheduled
for June / was filed on January
25, after the District Court in
New York had acted. Hearings
originally were scheduled for

High Tariff Argument
Has Never Changed,
Trade Luncheon Told

Nearly 300 persons from 80
free countries and trade organi-
cations yesterday heard a news
mans evaluation Of internation-
al trade at a luncheon at the
National Press Club.
Theodore Koop, club presi-
dent, and associate director Of
Columbia Broadcasting System
radio news, declared that "Argu-
ments for high tariffs have not
changed over the years, even
though world conditions have"
"We (the United States) now
export 20 per cent and import Is
per cent of all the commerce of
the free world" he explained.
The luncheon was part of the
observance here of World Trade
Week, sponsored by the Wash
ington Board of Trade. The
theme of the week Is "Interna-
tional Trade-a Free World Ne
cessity."
''WhOle Story" Lacking.
Mr.. Koop said that one reason
Americans are not we'll informed
on world trade problems is that
American newspaper editors and
reporters do not get the whole
story" from the standpoint Of
other countries.
The newsman cited Venezuela
as an instance of incomplete re-
porting. Few persons, he said,
know that while Venezuela sold
$400 million worth of goods to
the United States last year, that
country bought 5000 million in
goods from us.
Another speaker, Francis A.
Flood, assistant director of the

Relations, said that "since 1914,

trying to counteract the effect of
