Eisenhower Stages Fi|ibuster
President Cramps Reporters With Obvious Details;
They Need More Time and Space for Conference

the press for its treatment Of
him and devotion to truth.
It Is q fact that few men
have ever had a better press
than Gen. Eisenhower. II he
finds later criticism hard to
take it will not be surprising.
A great problem Of the pres.
idential press conference Is
simply space and mechanics.
With the addition Of radio and
television, the whole thing has
expanded; there are more me-
chanics and more people and
less space.
Only the early birds got
seats, those who. could afford
to waste an hour waiting for
the conference to begin. Late
comers, including most Of those
supposedly privileged charac-
ters, the columnists, stood
in the gallery. They did not
so much mind this reminder
that all men are created equal
had they only been able to
catch the Presidents eye and
ask questions.
A proper auditorium Is badly
needed around the White
House. This Is q statement
one Harry s. Truman may well
enjoy, recalling how the press
itself sabotaged his proposal
to add one-but q cafeteria
and other excrescences also
to the White House west wing.

of those in charge Of that Or
ganization, and apparently
somebody slipped badly. pos
sibly by design.
A few days later another
more serious incident occurred.
The same Mccarthy commit
tee earlier had heard the
sworn testimony Of John E.
Matson of the State Depart
ment's security division. He
testified that personnel papers
derogatory to some officials
had been pulled out of the files.
The sequel Of this testimony
was that Mr.. Matson was de-
NOTED.
Mr.. Matson,s chief, Samuel
j. Boykin, was called before
the committee and said that
the continued presence of Mr..
Matson in his previous job
affected the morale of other
officials and that everybody
was afraid to appear before
the committee. The fact that
the witnesses were testifying
about facts, giving names and
dates, was apparently not
considered by Mr.. Boykin. If
these facts were false. Mr..
Boykin was in a position to
prove them lies and the wit
nesses who had testified to
the contrary could be prose-
cuted for perjury.
But instead of denying Mr..
Matson's testimony, the act
ing chief of the State Depart
ment's security division pre-
ferred to use the old and by
now worn-out argument that
these Investigations destroy
the morale Of State Depart
ment personnel. He did not
explain how factual evidence
about gross mismanagement
Of the departments files could
affect in any way the morale
Of the overwhelming number
Of fine and competent State
officials. The contrary is. true.
All these facts have been
brought to the attention Of
Mr.. Dulles, who is being
urged to take the necessary
steps to put his house in or
der. He was also informed
that more unpleasant revela-
tions will come into the open
in the near future. A number

who believe firmly that under
the Secretary's administration
they can testify without fear

confirmed undersecretary for

to perform the necessary
cleaning up. According to
available information only
some 100 officials will have to
be removed from the payroll.
Recent developments must
have convinced Messrs. Dulles
and Lourie that any delay may
be harmful to the State De-
partment.
Last Friday a subcommittee
Of the Committee on Expendi-
lures of Executive Depart
nents, headed by Senator Nc
Carthy. held hearings in New

Voice Of America. It was re-

the writings of Howard Fast,

affiliations. This was done
after Mr.. Dulles had become
Secretary of State.
At the hearings. Mr.. Fast
refused to answer whether he
is or was a Communist. He
availed himself of the con-
stitutional right to refuse to
give testimony which may in
criminate him. Within a few
hours after this was brought
out in executive hearings, the
Secretary of State personally
issued an order to cancel the
earlier directive about the use
Of Fast's prose.

DoWd Lomence
Were Going to Get a Tax Cut
Dovid Lawrence:
Where There's Will; There's Way to Slash Levies
And the Will Really Exists in New Administration

There'll be tax reduction
within the next IL months-if
there's really q viii to reduce
taxes. Presumably that will
really exists, and the timing
Of the reduction Is the only
undetermined factor.
For the truth Is nobody
really knows what the money
picture Is or is likely to be in
Q few months for the simple
reason that the Eisenhower
administration hasn't been In
ofd1ce long enough to 1lnd out.
The key to the situation is
70 be found In what President
Eisenhower said In his first
press conference.-the wants to
see an expenditure program
which shows the income and
outgo about to be balanced.
That's exactly what Senator
Taft said the other day after
. meeting at the White House
between the President and
congressional leaders.
But the average citizen will
want to know: Is there going
to be Q tax reduction within
the foreseeable future-the
next IL months? The answer
Is yes"
The facts Of legislative life
are important to bear in mind.
The President said he wouldn't
agree to the repeal Of the ex-
ceSS-prof1tS tax this year un-
less some substitute revenue
measure were enacted to make
up for lost tax collections.
But, unfortunately, it isn't
within the province Of the
Executive to agree or disagree
on this item. For, as most OBJ
servers have overlooked, the
excess profits tax law expires
on June 80 of this year, and
this happens automatically
there is nothing for the Presi-
dent to approve or disapprove.
If substitute legislation is to
be adopted, it has to go
through the committees of
both the House and Senate
and then has to be passed
by q majority Of both houses
before the President has any
say in the, matter.

Thonos [. Stokes:
Stevenson and the Biq Oil Grab
He Wasn't Afraid to Tell the States Where He Stood,
So He Lost, and Now the Public Stands to Lose

It was purely coincidental
that Adlai Stevenson'S first
visit to the Capital since his
defeat for the presidency came
simultaneously with opening
Of a legislative battle over an
issue that played so important
q part in the 1852 campaign.
An issue which, too, had he
been elected, would have been
resolved so differently.
Reference Is to the drive
now under. way before both
House and Senate committees
to surrender to the States the
valuable offshore oil lands
from low tide to the three
mile limit which the Supreme
Court has ruled are In the pub
lie domain and belong to all
the people.
This coincidence served to
dramatize anew one Of the
numerous courageous positions
taken by Adlai Stevenson in
his campaign-and one that
cost him many votes-as well
as to dramatize the influence
Of oil in both parties, Demo-
cratic and Republican.
AS Democratic presidential
candidate, and after a thorough
study Of everything involved,
the then Governor Of Illinois
came out early in his campaign
for Federal control Of this rich
part Of the public domain, and
against the advice Of some
high-placed leaders Of his
party. He said, forthrightly,
that he accepted the decision
Of the Supreme Court which
twice had been upheld by
President Truman In vetoeS Of
State control bills.
An incident hitherto un-
revealed measures the extent
Of his political courage. It may
be recalled that 1t was an
iaounced at his Springfield
headquarters early in the cam
paign that Gov. Allan Shivers
Of Texas, who was for State
control Of the offShore oil
lands. would call upon Gov.
Stevenson to urge his position.
Meanwhile. Gov. Stevenson

the appropriations for the
coming year. Once it Is ap-
parent that the amount of
cash available for the coming
fiscal year from tax collections
more than equals the rock
bottom expenses. the time win
come to estimate what tax
reductions can be made,
So far as the excess-profits
tax Is concerned, it's q head
ache for the Government and q
very expensive tax to admin
lister. The same amount Of
revenue could be made avail
able from other types Of taxa
ton with less expense and less
burden on the taxpayer. Some
form Of sales tax which would
not be applied to food or neces-;
stiles Of life would be much
easier to collect.
But the important thing to
bear In mind today Is the
political aspect Of the contrO-
versy over tax reduction. Chair
man Reed Of the House. Ways
and Means Committee did the.
right thing politically, and so
did the Ways and Means Conn
mittee, In getting under way
with a tax-reduction bill this
early because the two reduc-
tions In taxes automatically
stipulated by existing law-the
repeal Of the excess-profitS tax
on June 80 and the reduction
Of personal income taxes by IL
per cent on January / next
are pieces Of legislation passed
by a Congress controlled by the
Democratic Party and signed
by a Democratic President.
Certainly the Republicans can't
be in the position politically
Of wiping out the reductions
voted by the Democrats and
then also passing laws actually
retaining these taxes or in
creasing the levies.
That's why the whole debate
adds up to an intense pressure
to reduce expenses drastically
and get the budget balanced in
order that taxes can be further
reduced, even II slightly. by the
Republican regime. So tax cuts
are coming.
