Wedemeyer Predicts
New Red Aggression
By the Assoeiutsd Press

TORONTO, Ontario, Sept. A.
Retired United States 1t. Gen.
Albert c. Wedemeyer says that
now the Korean war appears
over, it is reasonable to assume
Russia-inspired aggression will
turn some other part of the
world into a battle-ground.
Gen. Wedemeyer told a news
conference here yesterday that
Indo- China would likely be the
next trouble spot. He added that
he couldn't rule out the chance
of further fighting lin Korea or
new outbreaks in Western Europe
or Iran.
The 56-year-old general, who
commanded the China theater Of
war from 1914 to 1916, is now a
high official of a United States
manufacturing concern. He
came here from New York to
visit the Canadian national exhi-
bition.

House-to-House Tax Check
Pays in ? Ways, Andrews Says

explanation, I hope you will
agree"
HaraSSment Is Barred.
Mr.. Andrews supplemented
that statement today by noting
that the idea of a house, house
check on tax delinquency was
denounced In some quarters at
the outset as smacking of "Ges-
tapo tactics" He declared his
Office would not tolerate any
form of discourtesy or haraSs-
ment, much less a Gestapo ap-
proach by any agent, and that
no such instances have been
found.
Agents have clear-cut instruc-
tions against shopping, forcing
their way into homes, or asking
personal questions about a tax
payers household, he added.
The Commissioner empha-
sized the Internal Revenue Serv-
ice is convinced that SO per cent
of taxpayers pay honest re-
turns. But, he declared, the
services job is to enforce the
law by every reasonable means

Hope for Indo-Chino
French Military Position Seems Better;
u. S. Is Not Supporting CoIoniolism

Washington is now supporting
colonialiSm.
Such a criticism appears in
correct. According to authors
tative sources there have been
extended discussions between
Washington and Paris. The
present French government is
said to have pledged itself def
nitely to give Indo-C Chinese
states their full independence
as soon as the Communist
threat has been overcome.
This will be done within the
framework of the French
Union which is expected to be
patterned after the present
British Commonwealth. In
such an organization. Indo-
China would have the same
position in the French Union
as India, for instance, has in
the British Commonwealth:
Complete sovereignty with
only a loose cooperation with
what was once described as the
sovereign country.
President Eisenhower and
Secretary Dulles are said to
have obtained formal pledges
from the French that this
radical change will be put into
effect as soon as the threat
from the Communist Wet
Minis has been overcome.
The pledges of the Paris gov
ernment can be considered as
valid because, regardless Of
what politician may be in
office a few months hence, he
will know that colonialism is
dead.
Peoples in Indo- China as
we'll as in North Africa want
to be masters in their own
lands. Any refusal to satisfy
their claim will cause endless
trouble to the mother coun-
try" Most French leaders also
believe that a close co-opera-
ton under the Commonwealth
pattern will be more econom-
ically productive than the
present colonial system. And
there are reports that the
treatment Paris is ready to
accord Indo- China will also be
given to Morocco and Tunisia.

The Internal Revenue Serv-
ice took a Calculated public,
relations risk" in starting a
house-to-house search for tax
dodgers but the move is paying
of in public confidence as well as
money, Commissioner T. Cole
man Andrews disclosed today.
In two days recently in the
New England area, 258 agents
visited 5000 taxpayers and
found 1,150 to be delinquent, he
reported. This. he said, resulted
in collection Of $4,000 in de-
linquent taxes from those who
were visited and others who paid
up as a result Of the canvass.
This statement on the New
England check came in a letter
from Mr.. Andrews to Repre-
sentative Morano. Republican. of
Connecticut, who last month
protested that the drive threat
ened to invade personal privacy.
Mr.. Morano's Office released the
text of the letter without COM
ment.
Survey in Other Areas.
In other remarks today Mr..
Andrews not only defended the
house-to- house method of catch
ing up with tax delinquents but
also said 1t has been extended
to other parts of the country.
He called attention to a COM
paratively little known section
of the Internal Revenue code
providing for periodic can
vases to enforce the law.
In his letter to Mr.. Morano,
he declared the drive is paying
big dividends" He conceded the
method might be controversial
and open to improvement. Some
practical suggestions for i'm
provement already have been put
into effect, he said.
The $242 900 collected as a
result of two days canvassing in
New England was only part of
the story, Mr.. Andrew related.
Returns are still coming in,"
he said. What did 1t cost? The
258 agents worked two days at a
salary cost of $10,250. They col
lected $24 for every 81 spent.
This is good business and
think the average honest tax
payer will be mighty well pleased
by the result.
Public Reaction Good.
1--WE took a calculated public
relations risk when we started
this organized effort to seek out
the men and women who hadn't
been playing square with the
Government or their fellow
citizens. To be honest, this wor-

the way to restoring public con-
f1dence in the integrity of the
Internal Revenue Service and we
were apprehensive as to the way
the public would react.
"We've had questions and
some outright complaints. I
am glad to say, however, that
Regional Commissioner Gallagan
in Boston has reported reaction
from the public is generally good
and that about IS per cent Of
all letters he has received are
favorable. He also says all of
the press, except two papers,
appear favorable to the canvass
and that the two seem to be
swinging in our direction. Fur
ther, the agents job was simpli-
fled greatly by the courteous
treatment they received. I feel
certain we are on the right
track and, after considering our
