DAVID LAWRENCE

The Communist cause in
America has had a lucky
break. Though not so in
tended. of course, it turns out
that SIS million originally de-
rived from the free-enterprise
system through the diligent
and inventive efforts Of the
late Henry Ford is now going
to be used to help persuade
the people Of the United
States that Communist activ-
ity in America has been in
significant and unimportant.
Yet one of the main detectives
of the Communists has been
and is to destroy the system
of private capitalism in our
own country and to subvert
the Government of the United
States and its institutions.
To be able to mobilize SIS
million to carry on a political
propaganda and to put it in
a fund which is exempt from
paying income taxes is quite
an achievement for any cause.
however. well intentioned. es-
pecially since up to now phi
lanthropic foundations h ave
not engaged openly in propa-
ganda on political issues, nor
have they boldly announced
that they are going to do so.
Legally they have the right to
espouse almost any cause, and
1t certainly would seem logical
that SIS million of private
funds would be forthcoming
from somewhere else soon to
uphold the cause of relentless
opposition to the growth and
spread of Communism inside
this country.
The Ford Foundation gave
SIS million to the so-called
Fund for the Republic" and

political flavor and to reveal
the biased program of objec-

Many public actions have
been taken and many political
regulations have been built
on assumptions about what
the Communists In the United
States have been able to &C
complish and what they are
doing at the present time. It
has seemed useful to make
some effort to discover
whether or not these assump-
tons are well founded. The

BY the Associated Press

tax refund check produced by
Senator Mccarthy in no way

Elections subcommittee which

nancial affairs in 1882 "owc
an apology. not to me but to
the American people,"
Senator Watkins, chairman of
a special committee that recon-
mended censure of Senator Nc
earthly last year, commented in
a hand-written statement to a
reporter:
THE Senate has condemned
Mccarthy for misconduct toward
two of its committees and the
Senate itself.
HE has not been purged of
contempt.
mo apologies are In order
from the Senate committees or
the Senate. And as far as I am
concerned none will be FORTH
coming"
Senator McCarthy's blast was
aimed too, at the Elections sub
committee headed at first by
former Senator Gillette, Demo-
crat, of Iowa. and later by SEN
ator Hennings, Democrat, of
Missouri.
Mr.. Gillette said most of the
inquiry into Senator McCarthy's
tax affairs came after he left
the subcommittee. and ne added.
ut is a closed chapter as far as
am concerned" Senator Hen.
nings was out Of the city and
could not be reached for COM

OF Check Violate Low

New York Office, Secret Service
Chief U. E. Baughman told a re-
porter that lit (the check is a
Government obligation, and it
is just as illegal to reproduce it
as it is to reproduce money"
Senator Mccarthy said that
he had intended to distribute
copies Of his check at his press
conference, but withheld them
after talking to Mr.. Baughman.
The Senator quoted Mr..
Baughman as saying that re-
production of the check was a
technical violation" and added:
Il asked him if he would at

photographer who took pictures
of it. He indicated he wouldn't +"

them $4,000 or $25.000?"
mo, they have never indicated
that I owed them anything
Senator Mccarthy replied. MY
relations with the bureau have
been open and above board at
all times. They have interviewed
me several times. I hired a full
time auditor"
isn't it a fact" the Senator
was asked, that Internal Rev.
enue called on you for an ex-
PLANTATION as to why you didn't
pay taxes on some Of your re-
ceipts for the years in question:"
Senator Mccarthy replied he
was never asked why he had not
paid any taxes.
"They (revenue agents) asked
a great many questions" he con-
tinued, "about every item I ever
received or ever disbursed. That's
their function in a field investi-
CATION. I know what you are
thinking of. You're thinking that
they asked for 5000. ASH said
at the time, it was completely
false story and this proves it."
Asked About All Items
A Star reporter asked the Sem
ator what specific items the
agents questioned him about,
and what the sum of these items
was.
Don't try to defend a poten-
tial libel action now" Senator
Mccarthy chuckled. They asked
about all of the items in my in
come. They wanted to know
where they came from. It was a
field audit. You know what a
field audit is? They ask every
thing you spend and everything
you receive. 1t was started
under Truman. 1t was completed
under Ike"
mo agent indicated to you
that you owed taxes?"
"At no time was it ever indi-
Gated that I owed taxes. At all
times, after the investigation
had progressed. it was admitted
that I would receive rebate.
but it was a question of how
much the rebate would be-"
"You had never filed an
amended return?' the Senator
was asked a short time later.
He answered Never"
A newsman wanted to know
what the rebate was for.
II paid too much" said Sen
ator Mccarthy. II didn't take
deductions was entitled to
take"
Senator Mccarthy mentioned
interest payments. dividends,
donations, adding it was "just

Senator Mccarthy says he had
Photographic copies made of his
$1,056.75 tax refund check be-
fore he learned it's against the
law to reproduce a Government
obligation.
Photo copies of the check have
been received by newspapers and
news services. Senator Nc
Carthy said at yesterdays press
conference on his tax settlement
that he had given copies to a
New York firm he declined to
name. The implication was that
this firm had distributed them.
When checked by the ASso-
ciated Press after copy of the
check was received at A. P.'s

tributions or funds given you
for anti-communism work, as
we'll as personal?" the Senator
was asked.
Yes, they asked for a COM
plete list of all donors and where
they money was spent. We fur
nished that to them down to
the last penny"
did you have fairly accurate
records?"
Complete and detailed rec
ords. There was nothing secret
about the money that was spent
on the Communist fight" Sem
ator Mccarthy said.
Gould you give us some little
indication as to the sum total
since 1950-contributions that
you have received"
mo, l couldn't" the Senator
said. But there was never any
claim by Internal Revenue that
I had received more money in
this Communist fight than 1 had
spent"
Senator Mccarthy said he
couldn't say how much money he
had spent in the Communist
fight.
"All can say" he added, "is
that it cost me in excess of my
entire salary plus loans had to
make-$10,000 or $4,000 Gin
loans) to handle the Communist
fight"
The Senator said he still owed
some of the money and was pay
ing interest on it.
Pressed further for the amount
of money he had spent fighting
communism, he told a reporter
he had given the information to
Internal Revenue land ! have no
objection to giving it to you" He
said the information was at his
office. A new line of questioning
0CNClOpCO.
"You mentioned this (the
press conference) as an answer
to the Gillette Committee" a re-
porter said. They said there was
$172.000 you received in four
years. What you have done has
been to tell the Internal Revenue
that was either right or wrong?"
Says They Were Wrong
ut was wrong, of course" the
Senator replied. THE Gillette
committee had my income tax
returns. Their claim was that
had received more money than
I had reported. They had the
reports right before them. They
gave photostats of my returns to
the press"
You have turned over all of
this data to the Internal Reve-
nue.. Why didn't you turn it over
to the Gillette committee?" Sen
ator Mccarthy was asked.
He said two investigators had
resigned from the committee and
that he had no faith in the COM
mittee. Senator Mccarthy has
charged previously that the Gill
lette committee, which investi-
gated his finances in 1851 and
1852, was dishonest.
Il could see no object in try
ing to give that committee what
I gave Internal Revenue" he
commented. 1.-THE material was
always available to Internal
Revenue. Incidentally I learned
the investigation was underway
before I asked for it. 1t was
underway under the Truman
administration"
If you had thought it was
an honest committee would you
have given it to them?"
Il don't know" he said. 1.-THE
committee was not formed for
the purpose of acting as an In
ternal Revenue Bureau. They
were formed for the purpose OF
investigating elections. The
point here is that the Internal
Revenue got the information.
They were entitled to it. They
nave determined that I overpaid
$l,056.75."
