The Revenue Services claim
against Senator Mccarthy in
wolves complex questions as to.
the taxability or non-taxability
of such receipts.
The all-important job Of clas-
styling Senator McCarthy's re-
ceipts-and expenditures-has
been tremendous.
Senator Mccarthy is reported
to have co-operated with the tax
investigators to the extent Of
making available all the records
he had,
Senator McCarthy's relatives,
some Of whom repeatedly have
been associated in his financial
activities, also have co-operated
with Federal investigators.
Internal Revenue agents are
understood to be insisting that
showdown conferences with SEN
atory Mccarthy begin by Sep
TENDER /. regardless of what
other duties Senator Mccarthy
might have.
This deadline almost comedies
with the August 80 start of hear
ings by a special six-man Sen
ate committee that will consider
moves to censure Senator Me-
Carthy for his past behavior.
Previous Investigation Recalled.
A previous Senate investiga-
ton touched of the Internal
Revenue inquiry now reaching It's
climax. The previous inyesttgaS
ton was by a Senate Privileges
and Elections subcommittee
which looked into Senator Nc.
Carthy's feud with former Sena-
tor Benton, Democrat. Of Con-
necticut. V
In January, 1858, the subcom-
mittee referred the record Of its
hearings to the Justice Depart
ment. which found no grounds
for initiating legal proceedings
against any Of the principals.
The subcommittee evidence
about Senator McCarthy's COM
pick financial dealings went to
internal revenue. After .18
months Of investigation, the
agents now are set to confront
Senator Mccarthy with the claim
for extra taxes and interest Of
about $25, 900.

that the bill would do labor

pathize with the Nationalist and
encourage their terrorism, there ap-
pears to be no concrete evidence
that the radicals are connected with
or directed by the Kremlin.
1t was in 1882 that the Nationalist
party went underground and began
its terroristic practices.
Record Shows Violence
On the record of the partys
fanatics are the attempted assas-
Sination of three island Governors,
plot to murder a federal judge in
Puerto Rico, the shooting of a
resident commissioner and numer-
GUS other acts of violence.
The climax came in November,
1850. when couple of Nationalist
attempted to shoot their way into
Blair House here in an attempt to
kill President Truman. A White
House policeman and one Ma
tionaliSt were slain. The other
Nationalist was sentenced to death.
but the sentence later was COM
muted to life imprisonment.
Their objective was the same as
that of the four who wounded the
five representatives: Bring the So
called oppression of Puerto Rico to
national attention and thus win in
dependence for the island.
Behind it all is seen the same
kind of rabble-rousing fanaticism
as stirred up by the 63-year-old
Pedro Albizu Campos.
Mixed .Porentoge
He is the son of a white Puerto
Rican merchant, Alexandra Albizu-
Romero. His mother was a colored
woman named Juliana Campos.
According to Spanish custom, his
mothers surname was added to his,
making his proper name Pedro
Albizu-C ampos. His name for COM
mon usage is Pedro Albizu.
He is graduate of Harvard Law
School. He was drafted into the
Army in World War and became q
second lieutenant in a Negro unit.

Over the years, he toured around

After series of killings, Albizu
was sent to the Federal penitentiary
in Atlanta in 1887 for conspiracy to
overthrow the Government by force.
He was released in 1913.
l7-Yeor Term
Just before the Nationalists' at
tempt to shoot their way into the
Blair House in 1850. an almost
identical attack was made on the
Governors mansion in Puerto Rico.
AlbiZu was sentenced to II years in
prison. Last year, when panel of
doctors found him insane, he was
pardoned. He was back in police
custody yesterday, however, as Puerto
Rican authorities began a roundup
of his most fanatical adherentS.
The seed of the Nationalist Party
probably was sown years-maybe
centuries-before Albizu was born.
Columbus visited Puerto Rico in
1893 and in 1909 Ponce de Leon dis
covered gold there. The native In
dams were set to man-killing labor.
Thousands died and others escaped
to nearby islands. The SpaniardS
imported African slaves to keep
their galleons filled with gold and
other riches Of the new world. The
island became the western bastion
of the far-flung Spanish empire. but
the riches were only for the ruling
class.
Over the years, the remaining
natives, slaves and Spanish workers
blended into a race of poverty
stricken people striving for some
sort of independence. In 1873.
eight years after our Civil War. the
Puerto Rican slaves were freed.

classes. are brought in from the
United States.
The unfavorable trade balance
literally is made up by an import"
of dollars. The United States Gov
eminent spends about $l20 million
a year in Puerto Rico, chiefly on
Army, Navy and Air Force installa-
tionS and on postal service.
In an effort to get the island out
of this bad trade position. an indus
trialization campaign has been 60
ing on for about decade. Tax adj
vantages have brought more than
300 industries to Puerto Rico. but
none. of the islands factories is big
by American standards.
Unique Stotus
Politically, Puerto Rico is unique
1t is neither a State nor a Territory,
but something elsa Common
wealth" Until 1947 the Governor
was appointed by the President of
the United States. as are the Gov
errors of Hawaii and Alaska. Since
then, the Office has been elective
Present Governor (and only elected
one to date is Luis MunoZ Marin,
who was chosen by popular vote in
1913.
A new constitution for Puerto Rico
was promulgated in 1852. At that
time. the island became ASSOCIATED"
with the United States, but autono-
nous in all, local matters.
The announced policy of the
United States Government is that
Puerto Rico can cut loose any time
it wants to. Undoubtedly. if the
island ever chose independence, the
United States would retain, through
treaties. its valuable land. sea and
air bases at this crossroads of the
Caribbean"
But for the present at least,
Puerto Ricans seem to be over
whelmingly in favor of continued as
ISOLATION with the United States.

Puerto Rico Is q Crowded Place

It has been said only partly in jest
that the chief export of Puerto Rico
is Puerto Ricans and the chief i'm
port is dollars.
AS citizens of a Commonwealth
associated with the United States.
Puerto Ricans escape the trouble
some attention of the immigration
authorities. Travel expenses aside,
it is no harder for Puerto Rican
to go from San Juan to New York
than it is for a Virginian to go from
Arlington to the District About 200.-
0C0 Puerto Ricans make the trip
every year-virtually all by cut-rate
air transportation.
More than half these Puerto Ric-
ans, having tried their luck in the
big city. return eventually TO their
island homes. Even SO, 10000 of
them remained last year to swell
the population of teeming, dingy
East Harlem. In recent months there
has been slight net loss of Puerto
Rlcan population in the United
States. due principally to cold wealth
ef ana unemployment.
About 100000 Puerto Ricans now
live in the United States. Three
quarters of them-nearly half
millionaire in New York City.
Population Problem
Their little home island, which
lies 1,700 miles due south of Nova
Scotia and 1000 miles southeast of
Florida. is one of the most densely
populated areas in the world. The
population averages more than $50
to square mile. If the continental
United States were so densely set
tied, it would hold nearly the entire
human race.
Because Puerto Rico lacks virtu-
ally all natural resources except
water power. there are few indus
trial jobs for Puerto Rico's 2,240, 900
inhabitants. Most of those who

crown. Then came the Spanish
American War and. by the Treaty
of Paris in 1898, the island was coded
to the United States.
After. two years of military oc-
cupation, the United States began
setting up a democratic form of
government The islanders were
given the right to elect their Off
Gals and representatives. In 1917
they were granted full United States
citizenship. Additional reforms
came gradually and, in l947. they
began electing their own Governor.
Meanwhile, millions were poured
into Puerto Rico to develop industry
and business and to expand its
agriculture. Education improved
and now more than IS per cent Of
the population can read and write
as against II per cent when the
United States took over.
Low Average Income
But overpopulation and lack Of
opportunity remain big problems.
In 1850, the average individual in
come was 1918 year. In the con-
tinental United States, the lowest
average income is $771 in Miss
issippi The highest is $2,095 here
in the District.
The vast majority of islanders.
however. realize the Importance OF
their tie to the United States. TIE
strongest political group, the Popu-
lar Democratic Party, favors contin-
ued association with the United
States. The Independence Party
wants independence but hopes to
gain it by peaceful means. A
Statehood Party wants Puerto Rico
to be full-fledged State while the
Socialist Party is more concerned
with labor problems.
The Nationalist refuse to recog-
nize the value of the economic as
sistance and gradual autonomy the
Nation has given the island. They
maintain that our ownership of
Puerto Rico is illegal, according to
international law, because the
treaty of Paris was not submitted
to the people of Puerto Rico for
approval.
