multiple corporations to evade
taxes, and many other features
of our laws. All the facts
touching on these matters are
not only available, but are
well-known to tax-drafting
members Of Congress.
Now would seem the time
for a real revision and over
hauling of our tax statutes to
equalize the burden, or, as it
was put by Senator Humphrey,
Democrat, of Minnesota, one
of the leaders in the abortive
attempt to close loopholes in
1851, ito dispense equal justice
to the oil company and the
taxicab driver"

Will you please prepare a
report to me on such activi-
ties on your part, and have it
available for presentation to
me as Chairman Of the SEN
ate Investigating Committee.
Very sincerely yours,
(s) JOE MCCARTHY.
Mr.. Floberg replied immedi-
ately under date Of January
5, 1858.
Dear Senator Mccarthy:
In answer to your letter of
2 January, 1858, which I re-
ceived this morning, you are
hereby advised that I have at
no time displayed any classi-
fled material to any unauthor-
lied person or persons; any re-
ports which you have received
of any such conduct on my
part are false.
If you would care to present
me with any specific question,
based on the reports to which
you refer in your letter, with
sufficient identifying informa-
tion to enable me to reply to
them, I shall be very happy
to do so; I am, in fact, eager
to clear up any misapprehen-
sion which you or your COM
mittee may entertain.
Sincerely yours.
(s) John F. Floberg.
Technically, Of course, Mr..
McCarthy's committee is not
"the Senate Investigating COM
mittee" but the Committee on
Government Operations. It is
however, the general investi-
gative committee of the Sen
ate, with ample powers to
delve into practically any mat
ter that takes the fancy Of its
chairman.
The Senator's choice of title
for it makes it rather clear
that he intended Mr.. Floberg
to realize his powers. Possibly
he chose to use stationery Of
the powerful Appropriations
Committee of which he is also
a member, to reinforce that

Thomas L. Stokes:

In discussing the tax prob
lem to provide funds for our
national security program,
President Truman again i'm
plored Congress in his budget
message, as he has before, to
remove inequities in our reve-
nue. laws. These are due to
loopholes that permit persons
of large means, who are able
to bear the burden, to escape
their just share of taxes.
Confidence in the equity
of tax laws is essential in a
democracy" said the President
who, in his budget message a
year ago, also said, with equal
truth, "glaring injustices in our
tax laws should be eliminated
before those with modest
means are asked to shoulder
additional burdens"
It IS, OF course, CnoSe Win
modest means, since they are
most numerous, who contrib
ute the most sons to Korea.
as they did to the Second
World War and as they have
done since in manning our de-
fenses all over the world.
They also bear a greater pro-
portionate share of the cost
Of the defense program.
That's simple arithmetic, If
you know our tax laws.
If Congress intends to act
Justly in taxes, it now has an
other opportunity to correct
past errors. For it is coming
squarely up against the tax
problem, as is the Eisenhower

administration which soon
assumes Office. This is a test
for both Congress and the new
administration-and for the
incoming Secretary Of Treas
ury, George M. Humphrey.
Since he is a Republican and
a big businessman. he may
have more influence with Con-
gress, which is now Republican
and conservative in complex
ion. than has been the case
with President Truman and
retiring Secretary of Treasury
John w. Snyder. They have
recommended repeatedly in
vain the closing of tax law
loopholes. A very good motto
to hang on the walls of the
House Ways and Means and
Senate Finance Committees,
which draft tax legislation, also
comes from President Truman,
to wit:
"When the Congress prac-
tices favoritism in writing tax
laws, it encourages self-seekers
who try to gain favored treat
ment."
The agents of the self
seekers will be around when
Congress tackles the tax prob
lem as it must do in the next
few weeks. For both the ex-
cess profits tax and the IL per

country Is concerned they are
not valid. We are keeping six
of our best divisions in Ger
many today as an advance
guard for the protection Of
our allies in the event of So
Wet aggression. In addition
to these ground forces we are
maintaining an air force and
a substantial navy in Euro
pean waters.
Moreover, this country al
ready has spent billions of dol
lars to bolster the military
forces of the Western defense
organization. Our allies have
defaulted on the commitments
undertaken at the Lisbon con-
ference, in 1851. We recog-
nized that Frances war in
Indo- China is a costly affair.
It is not only draining her
treasury but also has taken a
heavy toll Of her commissioned
and non-commissioned officers.
We recognized that Britain is
in great economic difficulties
and thus agreed that she
should withdraw one Of her
four divisions from Germany
this year.
The American Government
has been most understanding
toward the problems of our
allies. When it became obvious
that the NATO could not live
up to its commitments we sug-
gested the inclusion Of West
ern Germany. which had given
us and our allies sufficient
reasons to consider her trust
worthy.
Western Germany was able
and willing to provide the
necessary force to make the
Western European defenses
effective. The fact that six
members Of the NATO besides
the United States and Britain
had signed the Paris treaty is
ample proof that everybody
was satisfied about the reliable
ity Of the Bonn government.
The American Congress and
British Parliament approved
this treaty last year. The
French and the other conti-
mental European nations found
all kinds of exuses to postpone
ratification. In this manner
they already have caused a de-
lay in the NATO's military

Training OF
Priest Workers

PARIS - radio, NC) = French
Seminarians have been forbidden
by the Sacred Congregation of
Seminaries to take vacation jobs
for training as priest-workers.
His Eminenee Giuseppe Cardinal
Pizzardo. Prefect of that Congrega-
ton, said in letter to the French
hierarchy that the prohibition had
been decided on only after long
deliberation.
He praised the good will and in
tentions of those who had thought
such training necessary to bring
seminarians close TO the working
masses. But, he added, several
years of experience had shown that
vacation work does not attain thai
goal and is harmful TO seminarians
The Cardinal directed French
Bishops to revoke any permission
already granted for such work. He
mentioned employment in fac
tories, ports, ships, hospitals "ol
elsewhere.
The Congregations new actor
recalls the warnings issued las
week by Jules Cardinal Saleige
Archbishop of Toulouse, and Msgr
Giovanni Montini, Vatican Pro-Sec
retary of State, on the subject o

Meanwhile it has been reported
here that the Paris Mission ha
been asked by the Holy See no
to recruit any more priest-workers

The delegates represented score

Describing the Institute as one

"Be on guard" the Pope ex-

which is the soul of scientific work,
you must add conscience which

out ceasing in the study of nature.
we turn more toward the science of
man, toward that which concerns
human society. Ii is here that the
science of statistics adds its con
tribution. Thanks to its specialized
methods and its incessant striving
for perfection, it is able to face
up to the most varied of social hap
penings, discerning the elements
that form them, and establishing
their interrelated importance.

statistics, the Pope added,
brings also elements to the study
of psychology. Notwithstanding the
abstractness which surrounds fig
ures, they can at times assume a
rare eloquence. They render sit
uation tangible which otherwise
might escape the best observer. !"
The Pope, who spoke in French,
spoke also of the application OF the
science of statistics in the rapid
evolution which is taking place in
modern society.
To-day" he said, zone can see
entire populations studying and
calling for important improve
