Consul Brillantes Appeal
But in this neck of the woods,
it is Philippines Consul Hortencio
]. Brillantes who reminds his
countrymen to cherish the thought
that, by giving their hard-earned
dollars to the Liberty Wells fund,
they are contributing to the
cause of a healthier, stronger and
more contented Philippine people. "
In a circular letter sent to all
cannery foremen in Alaska, Con-
sui Brillantes reasons with his
countrymen that the "laudability
of the project, coupled with our
attachment to our native land, ir-
resistibly awaken in us a desire
to extend to President Magsaysay,
whatever help and assistance we
could decently spare"
Consul Brillantes wants to CO.
incide the arrival of our dona-
nations to the Liberty Wells fund
on President Magsaysay's 47th
birthday, which will be on Au-
gust 81. Therefore, he requests
that the ducats be sent in to his
office not later than August 25.
COnsuIs Letter
Following is the circular letter
dated July 6, sent out by Consul
Brillantes:
Sir:
Zone of the first major concrete
steps by the President of the
Philippines, the Honorable Ram
on Magsaysay after his assump-
ton of the Presidency of the
Philippines, was the construction
of artesian wells in places where
the people do not have sanitary
source of drinking supply. If for
this alone, there can be no doubt
of his sincerity and devotion to
the welfare of the common man.
"The financial plight of our
government does not allow our
beloved President to carry his ar
tesian wells project, other wise
known as Liberty Wells" to as
many localities and barrios as he
would want to. Our realization
of this and the laudability of the
project, coupled with our attach
ment to our native land, irresisti-
bly, awaken in us a desire to ex-
tend to President Magsaysay,
whatever help and assistance we
could decently spare. Let us
cherish the thought that We are
contributing to the cause of
healthier, stronger and more con-
tented Philippine people.
ut is for this reason that I
have taken the liberty of appeal
ing to you, and through you, to
the members of your crew, for
contribution to the Liberty
Wells" of the Philippines. I APP
peal to you all, individually and
collectively. I know you will re-
spond to this very worthy cause.
Il would suggest that a list of
contributors with their respective
contributions and addresses, be
enclosed with your remittance. I
would further suggest that the re-
received by this Consulate not
later than August 25th, so as to
be received by President Magsay-
say on August 31st, which will
be his 47th birthday. I am sure
that on his birthday the receipt
of our donations to the Liberty
wells" will be 2 most touching
and significant gift, even as it
will mean an expression of re-
newed faith AMI confidence in his
Filipino forum. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1928-196?, 1954-08-01

which may result in many shifts,
labelled In some quarters q
"chainreaction."
The Senate District Commit
tee, however, traditionally has
not been plagued with partisan
controversy. and is generally con-
sidered to be non-partisan in its
approach to problems facing the
National Capital.
Little real concern appears to
be felt about the effect of any
forthcoming shifts in the Dis
trict Committee membership. so
far as local legislation is con-
cerned.
While Senator Morse can be
expected to make q real effort
to be promoted. the results ap-

the welfare of the District dur

Democratic Victory
Shown in Poll il 1854
Election Were Today

A poll taken for the Boston
Post by Crossley. Inc, and made
public today indicates that II the
| 1854 congressional elections were
held now the Democrats would
win control Of the House and
have q good chance Of taking
the Senate, too.
An analysis of the poll, the
accompanying release said,
makes it clear "there is a present
shift to the Democrats Of at
least 5 per cent in connection
with the House and Senate. that
this shift would give Republic
cans less than the 81 per cent
break-even point they must have
In the Northern States to. keep
control Of the House."
It could mean. the release said
that the Democrats would pick
up 40 House seats. The prospects
for the Senate are less clear.
Poll Taken In 4 Areas.
The poll was taken in four
areas which over the years have
been consistently a barometer OF
the way elections were going
One is in the Northeast, one in
the Ohio Valley. one in the winter
Corn Belt, and the fourth is in
the Pacific section.
Events between now and elec-
ton day next November, how
ever, it was pointed out could
change the political picture. The
poll was taken several weeks ago
at the time of the Brownell- Tru-
man controversy over the Dexter
White case. Republicans are
counting on the Eisenhower leg
islative program, the administra-
ttion Of the Government and the
country's foreign relations to pull
them up.
The question put by inter-
viewers who took the Boston Post
poll was: IF the elections for
Congressman and Senator'S were
being held today. which party
would you like to see win in this
State-the Democratic or Re-
publican Party?"
Results In Percentage.
The results were: Democrats,
39.9 per cent: Republicans, 38.8
per cent: not sure, 20.3 per cent.
OF those who voted for Eisen-
hover In 1852. 14.8 per cent would
now prefer Democrats in Con-
gress. and $50 per cent favor
Republicans. Only 7.6 per cent
Of those who voted for Adlai
Stevenson want the Republicans
to win in Congress, while 82.3
per cent of the Stevenson voters
prefer a Democratic Congress.
The possible Republican defeat
in the congressional elections is
indicated. the release said, by
the fact that Republicans nor
mally need at least 81 per cent
OF the popular vote in the States
outside of the South to Offset the
solidly-held seats in the South
and win the minimum 218 seats
required for control of the House.

Is greater than is typical Of mid
term elections.

By Francis ?. Douelos

Congress is expected to get to
work promptly in the new session
on legislation authorizing pay
ments to State and local govern
| ments in lieu Of taxes on certain
Federal property.
Pending in both branches are
bills to prevent the removal Of
property from a county or city's
tax rolls by transfer from a
Government agency authorized
to make tax payments to an
agency not authorized to make
such payments.
Also before the Senate Gov
ernment Operations Committee
is a comprehensive bill estab-
fishing q general policy with re-
spect to payments to State and
local governments. in place Of
taxes on Federal property.
The very comprehensiveness
Of this measure is held to be q
barrier to its passage. Objec-
tions have been raised that few
know exactly what it will mean.
It is expected to require much
study.
/ Simpler bilI introduced.
A simpler bill before the Sen
ate is one introduced last July
by Senator Knowland, Republi-
can, of California. Other spon-
sors are Republican Senators
Busch of Connecticut and Potter
and Ferguson of Michigan.
This bill states 1t is Govern
ment policy to avoid impairment
Of State or local government
finances through the acquisition
or use of any defense production
facility by q Federal agency.
which would thus make the
property tax-exempt.
Also to be avoided would be
requiring State or local govern
ments to provide sewers, streets.
water connections and other
services to Federal properties
without compensation.
Consent is granted to State
and local governments to levy
taxes on defense production IA
cilities which are leased or sold
conditionally to taxable persons
or which would be withdrawn
from taxation by their transfer
from one Federal agency to an

| Brief hearings were held on
the Knowland bill last year.
One Of the stumbling blocks to
its further consideration was the
inability Of the Defense Depart
ment to estimate how much the
bill would cost it.
| S2.5 Million Loss Cited.
Both that department and the
Budget Bureau were asked to be
ready with estimates this month
when the bill is to be taken up
in committee again.
On the House side. a subcom-
mittee of the Government OPP
erations Committee held hear
ings on o bill by Representative
Hillelson. Republican. of Mis-
souri,. The subcommittee ap-
proved the measure, but the
whole committee failed to act.
Committee Chairman Hoffman
said he intends to schedule hear
ings on such legislation.
Discussing his bill. Mr.. Hillel-
son said many hundreds of war
plants were established and op-
Grated under Government corpo-
rations and State and local taxes
were paid on them.

Because the Democrats out

No Decision Reached.
Senator Knowland said yester-
day that SO far no decision has
been reached between them on
the issue of committee changes
since their conference on the
problem Thursday. They plan
to meet again early this week.
What will happen to Senator
Morse appears to be the subject
of most interest so far as the
District is concerned. He recent
ly announced he wanted restora-
ton to the two committee posts
he held before renouncing his
afiiliation with the Republican
Party. They were on the impor-
tant Armed Services and Labor
and Welfare Committees. He
was reduced to the Public Works
and District Committees.
Since the Hepublieans stili
have the gotes to control the
floor. with Vice President Nixon
ready to break i tie il the issue
was raised, II has been generally
believed the Democrats would
not want to control committees
either.
If this should Sbe the net re-
suit of whatever agreement is
reached between the two leaders
after conference with their high
command. the prospect for the
District Committee still would
point. to Republican control,
whatever changes are made in
committee membership.
Equal Membership Studied.
!. Among the outstanding plans
under consideration is one to
make Republican and Demo-
cratic memberships equal on
some committees. with the un-
derstanding that in case of q
tie, the position Of the Repub-
lican chairman would control.
This would be an arbitrary ar
rangement during the unusual
period of Democratic majority

Democratic control.
The new members needing
two committees each are Re-
publican Senator Upton, of New
Hampshire who succeeded the
late Republican Senator Tobey,
and Democratic Senator Burke,
Of Ohio, successor to the late
Republican Senator Taft.
The biggest problem facing
the leaders appears to be placing
of the Democrat, without al
tering Republican control.
II Senator Morse were. pro-
