square dances and masquerades
were some of the popular features
put on by the various play
grounds.
The movies completed an en-
joyable double header. The shows
consisted of four short subjects.
Usually a Western, a sports film,
a cartoon and a safety feature
made up the hour long entertain
ment.
The addition of sport shorts
was cited by directors as the
reason for an increase in attend

The 10-week program put on

u. 5. Revenue Chief
Warns Firms About
Expense Deductions
BY the Assoe;oted Press

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va, Sept.
19-The Internal Revenue Serv-
ice has no intention of telling
the Nations businessmen how
to run their business. T. Cole
man Andrews, commissioner said
today.
Addressing the Maryland Util-
tiles Association at the Cavalier
Club, Mr.. Andrews, said about
expense deductions: "We will
accept reasonable commercial
practices
He warned. however, that in
cases where corporations deduct
personal expenses of their Of
ficers, the Revenue Service mot
only will disallow the deductions
to the corporation but will
charge them to the individuals
who receive them as income.
"It is not right, /" Mr.. Andrews
said, "for the individual tax
payers to underwrite the pleas
ures of a selected few. I am
not going to allow it if can
help it,"
Because many experienced
agents in the service will be
eligible for retirement within five
years, MIR. Andrews indicated
some intensified and formalized
training program" may have to
be adopted.
This is necessary, he pointed
out, so that agents may get a
broad knowledge of business af-
fairs and not be "just figure
checkers"
Il guarantee that within five
years the integrity of the serv-
ice will be restored If such a
plan is instituted" Andrews
said.

Mrs. Kay Caul, assistant director
of neighhorhood centers, Division

The success was due to the

QuestionMurks for Mr.. Truman
While Teevision Chat Can Be No Substitute for Inquiry
Here Are Queries He Should Answer About White Case

Mr.. Truman's decision to
"tell all the facts" to a tele-
vision and radio audience is
not a satisfactory substitute
for an examination by a COM
mittee of Congress. Here are
some of the questions which
members of Congress might
have asked Mr.. Truman, and
any one will be able to see
whether in his speech Mr..
Truman has answered any or
all of them:
1. Did MIR. Truman himself
actually read the FBI report
Of February 4, 1916, to which
his Secretary Of State, James
F. Byrnes, called his atten-
ton by letter?
2. If Mr.. Truman did not
read the document, whose sum-
narration or evaluation did
he accept as the basis for his
decision not to fire Harry Dex-
ter White?
3. If Mr.. Truman decided to
keep White on in the Govern
ment for purposes of surveil-
lance, why did he not tell j.
Edgar Hoover, head of the FBI,
about it or at least direct his
Attorney General, Tom Clark,
to do so?
4. If Mr.. Truman decided
in his own mind not to fire
White and to keep on watch
ing him, why was no record
OF that decision made any,
where in the Government, not
even in the files of the Treas
ury Department, where the
then Secretary of the Treas
ury, the late Fred M. Vinson
would naturally be interested
in recording it?>
5. Why. if it was decided to
keep White on in the Govern
ment, was he permitted to take
along with him to the none
tary fund subordinates in the
Treasury who. in the FBI re-
ports, had also been accused
of involvement in the Commu-
mist espionage ring?
6. Why did Mr.. Truman tell
the reporters last week that
he would have to consult his
files in Kansas City to refresh
his recollection on the White
case, and what right has a
President Of the United States
to take away to his private
residence from the Govern
ment files any documents or
papers that belong to the Gov
ernment?
Z. If Mr.. Truman has in his
possession today any files on
the White case, does he con-
tend that this action-taken
by him as a private citizen-is

PARIS, France (By Air
MaiD There is no country
in Europe which can equal
France in natural wealth. Her
farmland is one of the richest;
her vineyards are unexcelled;
her herds of cattle and flocks
of sheep are among the largest
and best on this continent. She
has enough raw materials for
her heavy and light industries
to make her almost independ-
ent of other countries.
The French industrialists
and craftsmen are among the
most imaginative in the world.
The shop windows in Paris are
full of trinkets and costume
jewelry which the designers
have made irresistible to the
native and foreign buyer.
Despite the frequent mani
festations of unrest in the
population and the scalping
methods applied to tourists,
France continues as the Mecca
of tourism where foreigners,
and especially Americans,
spend upwards Of a quarter of
a billion dollars every year.
The physical wounds of the
last war which were far light
er than those suffered by Ger
many, Italy and Britain, are
all healed. Old-faShioned in
dustrial establishments have
been replaced, thanks to the
billions spent by the United
States, by new. modern fac
tories with the latest available

ture the happiest, steadiest

thought his judgment should
be controlling or whether it
was within the province of the
Attorney General to decide.
The appearance of Mr..
Hoover on the witness stand in
so dramatic a case, with all
it's political overtones, would
be one of the great stories of
the era. He has rarely if ever
testified publicly on any ques-
tion during the 20 years he
served Democratic Presidents
and never on any political
issue.
His appropriations are dealt
with in closed hearings during
which members of Congress vie
with one another to show him
consideration. His influence
alone has prevented Congress
from enacting legislation to
outlaw the Communist Party.
He has argued it would merely
drive the party underground
and make the FBI's task
harder.
Mr.. Hoover also has unfail-
ingly bolstered the contention
of Mr.. Truman, which so far
has been sustained by Presi-
dent Eisenhower, that the un-
evaluated FBI files must be
protected from public scrutiny.
He has explained their catchall
nature and protested Cd that
they could not represent con-
clusions and co that to make
the files public would tend to
dry up his sources of informa-
ton.
In one way and another,
much FBI material has
reached the public. Democrats

power of Congress and does he
feel that he has a right now to
refuse to tell Congress either
what the papers are or what
is in them?
8. Did Mr.. Truman ever ask
the FBI for any reports on
Whites activities after White
left the Treasury Department
and began his work on the
monetary fund?
8. Did Mr.. Truman know
that White, while an official
of the monetary fund, used his
position inside the govern
mental organization in WASH
ington to recommend for en-
ployment in the Government
persons whose loyalty had
been questioned?
10. Did Mr.. Truman ever ac-
quaint himself with the facts
as to why the grand jury, in
1948, was unable for technical
reasons under existing espion-
age laws to indict White?
And if Mr.. Truman knew this,
why did he not during his
subsequent four years in the
White House tell the Congress
of the need for STRENGTHENING
the espionage laws to cover up
such loopholes?
IL. Since Mr.. Truman argued,
as Mr.. Byrnes says. that be-
cause White had been con-
firmed by the Senate he could
not hold up the issuance of
commission, why did Mr.. Tru-
man-becauSe of a political
feud last year-refuSe at any
time to issue a commission to
a United States attorney for
Nevada who had been con-
flrmed many months before
by the United States Senate?
The foregoing questions do
not impute disloyalty or SYM
pathy with the Communists to
Mr.. Truman-that's a smoke
screen raised by his apologists
to divert attention form the
incompetence, laxity, and
looSeness prevailing in the
Truman administration on the
matter of Kidding the Govern
ment of subversives. For it
is important to remember that
a man may still sit in a Gov
ernment post and give docu-
mentS to an agent of a foreign
government, and yet escape
indictment under the weak
espionage laws of today. That's
why dismissal from Govern
ment service on loyalty or
security grounds has been and
still is the only remedy avail
able in such cases.

Hoover Would Be No. WITNESS
The FB Director Is Being Urged to Testify White Case
Now That Democrats Are on Public Trial as PARTY

In the discussions which
preceded former President
Truman's public review of the
White case, he was cautioned
against drawing an issue of
veracity between himself and
the legendary head of the FBI,
j. Edgar Hoover. Mr.. Truman
replied that no issue of verac-
ity could arise between them
because the President dealt
with cabinet officers.
Mr.. Hoover, he reminded his
associates, was subordinate to
the Attorney General. This,
of course, is true even though
there are those in Washington
who regard that subordination
purely as a legal fiction.
1t is also true that Mr..
Hoover enjoys such congress
sional and public standing that
he can control his own destiny
in the current situation. If
he appears before a congress
sional committee in the White
or any other case, it will be
because he chose personally to
accept the risk to his non
partisan standing.
Senators normally respon-
sive to the wishes of the ad-
miniStration are saying that
Mr.. Hoover ought to testify
to clarity the dispute. Although
they do not quote him they
appear certain that he would
say he did not approve of any
arrangement to have Mr..
White promoted and then
shadowed following charges
against him of sympathy with
communism.
The question would then
arise whether Mr.. Hoover

in a more precariouS economic
position than other countries
with far fewer advantages
from nature. But France is
primarily frustrated. Her peo-
pie have lost complete conf
dence in the present system
of government and they don't
know where to look for an
improvement.
An impossible constitution
prevents any good administra-
ton from remaining in Office
long enough to bring about
good order and progress. And
there have been good and ef-
f1cient governments in Paris in
the last few years. The Pinay-
Schuman cabinet, for instance,
was regarded by unbiased OBJ
servers as the most efficient
in the last SO years. Yet it
could not maintain itself in
Office for a sufficient time to
improve the internal situation
or deal with Frances interna-
tional problems. The National
Assembly, where splinter par
ties hold the balance of power,
would not permit it.
French finances are chaotic.
The treasury is always empty
because of the lack of an ef-
f1cient tax system. The rich
continue to become richer and
the poor poorer. The vast
army of white-collar workers
is ridiculously underpaid. The
farmers cannot obtain suffi-
GENTLY high prices for their
products to enable them to buy
needed manufactured prod
uctS. Or at least so they think
when they see the prices for
shoes or essential clothing.
Hence they demand support
from the treasury.
Industrial workers also are
underpaid considering the high
prices for all foodstuffs which
the farmers exact from the
consumer. The millions of
professional men and women,
particularly the clerks and
stenographers in government
and private offices, caught be-
tween these two grinding
stones can hardly make ends
meet in a land of plenty.

clans maintain that no cure

Former President Truman
did not state all the facts last
week when he wrote the House
Un- Activities Com
mittee citing a long list of
precedentS in an attempt to
justify his refusal to honor a
subpoena issued in due form
by the committee chairman.
Mr., Truman cited only the
refusals of Presidents who at
the time were actually in Office
when Congress asked them for
information. He failed to cite
at all the most important
precedent in the records Of
Congress, which shows that
John Tyler, Is months after he
left the White House. did
testify before a House commit
tee in response to its request
for information.
CuriouSly enough, a some
what parallel issue had arisen
then. 1t concerned the use of
funds by a former Secretary of
State, Daniel Webster, who
had set up what was an FBI
of those days to conduct detec-
tive work in connection with
the activities of agents of for
eign governments. The contro-
versy was whether Mr.. Web
Ster had used the funds for the
purpose Congress had in mind
or for political and business
purposes. The majority report
of the House committee, dated
June 9. 1846, said:
The committee have ex-
amined Mr.. Tyler, the late
President of the United
States. He testified that when
he came into the presidency,
he found the foreign relations
of the country in a very deli
cate condition in certain par
ticulars, which the commit
tee does not deem it expedient
to specify, requiring, in his
opinion. the employment of
confidential agents; and, for
reasons assigned by him to the
committee, he regarded his
Secretary of State Daniel
Webster) as the f1ttest person
to select and employ them"
The minority report, which
disagreed with the findings on
the use of the money, also
mentioned "the testimony of
ex-PreSident Tyler"
Thus it is plain that the
Congress of the United States,
on a matter of great delicacy
involving espionage as well as
the proper use of Federal
funds, and the integrity of
subordinate officials, has felt
that it had a right to examine
a former President of the
United States.
