His Commission Would Kill the New Deal
For Return to Little Government

return generally to the little
government" concept.
Mr.. Hoover made 1t clear to
a farewell press conference that.
he was well satisfied with these
results. He predicted savings
from his plans by which the
budget could be balanced and
taxes cut. His formal state
ment said Federal capital to the
amount Of ten billions could
be recovered. He told report
ers Is billions, and when re-
minded OF the discrepancy,
said yes. but he had found
other savings since that state
ment was dictated.
When asked, however,
whether he expected the Eli
senhower administration to ask
Congress to enact the COM
mission program, he replied
tersely: About that / have no
information whatsoever"
This would appear to show
that his sense of the political
realities is fairly acute.
The fact is that while the
administration from the Presi-
dent on down heaps praise on
Mr.. Hoover personally, it has
carefully refrained from COM
mitments to his commission.
The Democrats. whose COM
mission representatives have
filed rather regular dissents,
are publicly polite, too. to the
octogenarian former President.

China,s Foreign Minister
George Yeh, who was at the

pressure Of work on the Presi-

Geneva would be so heavy that
he could not spare time for

There's . studied optimism.
q deliberately hopeful attitude
being assumed here toward the
four-power conference aat the
summit IT'S q smart tactic.
It puts the burden Of frustrat-
ing the hope Of the world on
the Soviets II the conference
fails. Il removes any suspicion
that the United States Is going
to the conference with q bel
ligerent attitude.
But underneath the surface.
where the facts Of interna-
tional life are wen known, the
sad truth Is that everybody
knows the only result that can
come out of the four -power
conference is q decision to talk
some more and through spe-
cific channels.
In the old days whenever
governmental ofiicials got into
q mess, they appointed . COM
mittee or o commission to get
themselves out Of It or at least
to postpone decision BY further
talk.
What the Horsepower states
men are about to do is to
formulate q series Of commits
sions or committees to take UP
specific items that are trou-
bling the world. It's q form of
postponement-of deferment.
The disarmament porblem has
been drifting along that way
for years. It viii do no harm
to drift along some more.

Hoover Still Says He Was Right

White House makes an issue Of
the commission suggestions.
At that point. they say, they
will be glad to run against Mr..
Hoover and the depression
again.
Perhaps Mr.. Hoover himself
uttered the best postscript to
the troubles "The Great Engi-
neer" had as President. He
spoke Of the controversy over
the water resources report and
almost wistfully added:
ION the Washington level.
the use Of water and water
resources problems arouse peo-
pie on the political, theological
and emotional side and the
engineers do not receive much
attention"
It cannot be denied. The
American people think Of
H .s
their resources exactly that
way and it should be added,
as social problems too. The
engineers may be right tech
nically. but the Congress is
responsive to the people.
Mr.. Hoover with that same
impressive tenacity indicated
he would still be available If
the Government wanted him
for other services. He can say,
whether or not the politicians
support him now, that he has
done with his commission q
yeoman job for the principles
he believes In. Said by him
personally, the impact would
not be great except among the
converted. But his views now
are a Government document,
the most valuable kind Of prop
aganda for those who hold to
that doctrine.

NEW YORK, July R.-
Should a business leader be
forced to dispose Of his securities
to take a key job in the Federal
Government?
That question, which stirred a
major controversy in Congress
two and q half years ago. has
been revived by q Hoover Com
mission report and the coming
departure Of Robert T. Stevens
from the Eisenhower adminis-
Itration.
The Hoover Commission. in
one Of its final acts before going
out of existence today proposed
that the conflict Of Interests
laws be changed so that presi-
dental appointees will not be
forced to iiuuidate lifetime busi-
ness equities to accept Federal
posts.
Some leaders Of industry have
lost hundreds of thousands Of
dollars, in possible profits in to-
days "bull'' stock market, by the
forced sale Of their holdings
when the market was at a lower
level.
The Hoover Commission sug-
Igested that instead OF selling
stock. the appointee take an
oath as part of his regular oath
lof Office pledging to remove
himself from any case involving
his company or financial in
Iterests.
Stevens Affected
Such a provision would have
simplified matters for Mr.. Ste
vens in early 1853 when he be-
came Secretary Of the Army. At
the insistence OF the Senate
ARMED Services Committee, the
New York textile executive dis
posed Of stock in more than half
a dozen companies by June 13,
1883. On the basis Of the range
LOT prices Of those issues in the
period from the time Mr.. Stevens
said he would dispose Of his
holdings by June Is, 1858, he
would have received between $1.6
million to $2.2 million for the
stocks.
Mr.. Stevens leaves the Gov
Iernment July 81, returning to
private life. II he were to buy
the same stocks today, it would
cost him more than $2.4 million.
This does not take into account
3lthe capital gains tax which he
lpaid on the stock sold in 1858
land the dividends missed during
the past two years.

president Of General Motors,

the Treasury by adoption OF

enterprises competitive with,

Various task forces had esti-
mated possible further savings
through reorganization Of Fed
eral operations adding up to ss.k
billion, but Mr.. Hoover said they
couldn't be added up because
they overlapped. But he de-
clared:
'.In any event. with all such
discounts there are enough pos
sible savings left to enable the
balancing of the budget and
reduction of taxes"

Roads Tax Plan.
BY the Associated Press

A new Democratic substitute
for President Eisenhower's road
plan faced a less than friendly
House Ways and Means Commit
tee today.
Representative Fallon, Demo
crat. of Maryland. said he was
taking before q closed session oi
the committee for suggestions
a measure which would boosi
motor fuel taxes to help pay fol
$35 billion worth of road i'm
provements.
Mr.. Fallon and his fellow
Democrats on the House Public
Works Committee have come ur
with this idea as a substitute
for the Eisenhower proposal tx
finance super highway building
mainly through a $21 billion bone
issue.
Representative jenkins o1
Ohio, a senior Ways and Mean.
Committee Republican, said ir
an interview that the Public
Works Committee haven't got
any more right to raise taxel
than we have to build roads"
Mr.. Fallon's bill would author.
ize $24 billion to complete the
cross-country interstate system
and about $11 billion on other
types Of road work over a IL.
year period. It would increase
from 2 to 3 cents q gallon the
Federal tax on gasoline and ur
the tax on diesel fuel from Q tc
6 cents over a 14-year period
It also would provide boosts ir
the taxes on tires and tubes.

at first at selling his fortune in
GIN stocks to become Secretary
Of Defense. 1t was reported at
the time the auto industry
leader agreed to sell only after
a lengthy conference with Presi-
dent Eisenhower.
Mr.. Wilson owned 39.045
shares OF GIN. He said he sold
it for $65 a share, which brought
him $2,567. .925 on which he paid
upwards OF one-han million dol
lars in capital gains taxes. GIN
now is $10S. The same holdings
now would cost $4,216,860, an
increase Of $1,648.935 since the
spring OF '53.
Kyes and Talbot
Mr.. Kyes, who was Deputy
Secretary Of Defense, disposed
Of more than 100000 worth Of
stocks in early 1858, including
2.85l shares Of GIN. If he re-
ceived SOS a share at the time
as Mr.. Wilson did, the GIN stock
alone brought $l85,3l5.
On July 6, 1854, Mr.. Kyes re-
turned to his old post as a GIN
vice president after resignins
from the Defense Department
At the time. GIN was $78 q
share, and he would have had
to pay $242.378 to regain the

in stocks, including 1000 shares
of Chrysler and 5000 shares OF
