George Washington
Knew March IS
Was a Big Tax Date

POSSIBLY by coincidence, Com
missioner of Internal Revenue
T. Coleman Andrews chose this
week end to unveil a long lost
letter by George Washington,
putting the finger on March is
as an important tax day.
It is q 14-page letter, dated
March IS, 1891. setting up a
Nation wide administration for
collecting what Mr.. Andrews
said was the country's first In
ternal tax.
The letter. and a mass of other
old documents turned up in
a locked and long forgotten
cherrywood cabinet during a re-
cent house cleaning at Internal
Revenue Service headquarters.
Constitution avenue and Twelfth
street.
: The documents will 60 on
display today in the National
Archives building.
500 Early Documents.
The find included a collection
Of early revenue stamps now
being examined by the Smith
sonian Institution. and some 500
documents that consist mostly of
revenue records from 1891 to
1925. They include signatures of
Presidents Washington. John
Adams. James Madison. James
Monroe. John Quincy Adams and
James Buchanan written in
1928 when Buchanan was a
young lawyer.
Other signatures include those
Of Washington's Secretary Of
State Edmund Randolph. and
early Secretaries Of the Treasury
Alexander Hamilton, Albert Gal
latin. Oliver Wolcott, Richard
Rush and Alexander j. Dallas.
An order signed by Wolcott in
1900. Just after the Treasury
moved from Philadelphia to
Washington and settled In a
small wooden building. estab-
lished fire prevention regulation.
"a fire nearly destroyed the
Treasury the next year,
Paul Revere Contract.
The documents refer among
many other things to a contract
by Paul Revere to make 10 how
itzers for the infant Republics
armed forces, and to the "Whis-
key Rebellion" of 1925 that
broke out when President WASH
ington'S tax administration tried
to enforce the first internal tax
law.
This was a levy on distilled
spirits which, although it. in
spired a revolt in those days. was
so light it would be considered
only a pleasant drop in the
bucket today.
Commissioner Andrews made
this comment in turning over
the old documents to DR.. Wayne
C. Grover, Archivist of the
United States. for preservation
in the National Archives:

President Washington concern
ing the enforcement of the first
Internal Revenue Act Is dated

Russians Nominate
More Military Men,
Fewer Secret Police
BY tho Associated Press

The recent purge Of Lavrenti
p. Beria as Soviet secret police
chief apparently was reflected
today in the one-slate lineup Of
candidates for tomorrow's ma
tional elections in Russia.
The United States Information
Agency, studying issues of
Pravda. the Communist publica-
ton in Moscow, reported a de-
Grease in the number of secret
police officials being nominated.
Correspondingly. it was found,
there is sharp increase in the
number Of military men named.
Today's national elections to
the Supreme Soviet, Russia's
parliament. are the first held
since 1850. The nominations are
equal to election since there is
only one ticket.
More Army officials.
The United States review of
the Pravda report showed SO
army officials nominated, COM
pared with 80 in 1850. Core
spondingly, there were II MVD
nominations compared with 80
in 1850.
The implication was that the
Red Army is expanding its i'm
portance in the regime of Pre-
mier Malenkov, while the MVD,
purged of Beria, is losing some
of it's influence.
The USIA Campaign Of truth"
Is giving the rubber stamp elec-
ton the full treatment. In
broadcaSts over the Voice of
America radio and in news re-
leases abroad. the agency is con-
trasting the one-candidate vot-
ing with the multi-candidate
elections in the United States.
In Estonia. which has been
taken over as part Of Soviet
Russia. the USIA is emphasizing
that many candidates there are
not native Estonians. In Austria.
the agency is paralleling the
Soviet elections with the Krem-
Inns refusal to allow free elec-
ton in the Soviet satellites.
Popularity Contest.
The one-candidate elections
in Russia serve the free world
chiefly as an index of the
popularity of various Soviet Of
ficials within the Communist
Party. All candidates-party or
non-party-must have party ap-
prevail.
Nominations are sent to Mos
cow by trade unions. collective
| farms and other organizations
throughout the Soviet Union.
| Pravda's breakdown Of the
number of nominations shows
Malenkov. with 726. as the easy
winner Of the popularity contest.
In second place with $40. is
Nikita Khrushchev, party first
secretary.
