from it's World War I patriarch, Mr..
Hughes.
Menzies' First chonce
Like all aging dynasties. Mr..
Hughes was riddled with dissen-
sion that could not be reconciled
once he stepped down. There was
enough cohesion to put Mr.. Menzies
into the Premier's chair-but not
enough to build Q government pro-
gram. All efforts at welding the
diverse factions failed. partly be-
cause men Of Mr.. Hughes genera
ton thought they knew better than
young Bob Menzies how things
should be run. partly because Mr..
Menzies stood on principle with such
remarkably arrogant stance that
the more practical" politicians
were disenchanted.
1t was thus Mr.. Menzies' bad luck
to preside over the disintegration of
the United Australian Party in 1941.
He sat out most of World War II on
the opposition side of the aisle in
Canberra's lower house. The Labor
Party proceeded to have its day.
In December 1949 the conserva-
tives finally returned, with Mr.. Men,
zies at their head in a new Liberal
Party. Ever since, he has headed a
governing coalition of his own Liber-
ais and the Country party. which
presently holds of the 20 Cabinet
posts.
Coll Him Ming
Mr.. Menzies comes of Scottish
stock. That perhaps explains his
conservative bias on matters econo-
mic. It also helps to explain his
nickname Ming" which came into
general use late In the thirties.
Scots pronounce his last name
"Mingis." and Ming" thus takes on
an old-worldish tone that appeals to
his ancestor proud associates.
Another monicker once attached
to the Australian Prime Minister
was Pig Iron Bob" 1t hanks back

Iron Bob" While technically in
accurate, it had a catchy meter
that was attractive to his political
foes.
Bags Of Bolts
The Communists tried to revive
the name in 1916 by pelting Mr..
Menzies with bags of old bolts when
he appeared on election campaign
platforms. The bags had q lot Of
authority, as one might imagine.
So much, in fact, that 1t was some
times necessary to resort to the war
time expedient Of hitting the deck.

Senator in 40 years, while Mrs.
Edith Green. who was elected Re-
preventative from the Third Dis
trict by $500 votes, became the first
Democratic House member in a dec
ade.
Democrats also made substantial
gains at COP expense in the Re-
publican heartland - the Midwest.
The COPS share of the 1854 vote
in House contests was less than its
share in 1852 and 1850 in the fol-
lowing States: Illinois,. Indiana.
Iowa, Kansas. Michigan, Minnesota,

In 1852. President Eisenhower

but Richard H. Poff and Joel T.

percentages, despite the COPS ma

The Democrats like to point to
another set Of statistics, covering.
county, State legislature and guber-
material elections. A Democratic
committee survey Of the 1854 elec-
ton claims that in a number OF
important counties "the Democratic
Party swept all or virtually all
Offices with the greatest majorities
since the 1905"
The survey also reported substan-
tial Democratic gains in 1854 in
three or more counties in each Of
the following States: Colorado, Illi-
nois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas. Michi-
gan. Missouri. New Mexico. Oregon
and Pennsylvania.
But Democrats also suffered losses
in at least three counties-Pinellas

well on it, way to extinction.
In progress for some time. the
change gained further momentum
In the 1854 election, according to
an analysis by Congressional Quar-
terly. Upsets were scored by both
parties, but in many cases reflected
trends well established in earlier
elections.
While gains were made in enemy
territory by both parties, the Demo-
Gratis claim their progress has the
more substantial base-a base which
they hope can be translated into
permanent Democratic Offices in the
future.
They base their hopes on the fact
that the new Democratic victories
were plentiful In the grass roots"
Of normally Republican territory.
There they made important gains in
contests for municipal. county and
State offices.
This new strength, Democratic
leaders say, will show up in future
years In congressional and presi-
Dental races.
A look at the last election returns
shows how voters are switching
sides and throwing off regional
prejudiceS.
Democrats are making inroads in
normally Republican northern New
England, in Oregon and in the Mid
west. additionally COP preserves.
Republicans. however, are making
significant gains in the Democratic
South. The result is close contests

Maine Shows Trend
Maine upset tradition by electing
a Democratic governor, Edmund
Muskie, by a margin of %, 400 votes.
Names three House seats remained
in COP hands, but in the past five
elections the Democratic share of
the vote has increased almost Is

trictS.
In neighboring New Hampshire.
Republican Chester E. Morrow, a
six-termer, won reelection by only

Restless Fooso Troops Detes Reds Yeon for Return to Mainland

A CHINESE INFANTRY CAMP,
Formosa-Perhaps the darkest day
In Shantung, which is among the
brightest provinces in China, was
August 8, 1948.
Tsinan, the capital, was falling.
Around It's walls and beyond. on
contested crossings. on barricades
disputed for three days, in bitches
and fields, gunpits and roofs of
shacks lay the forms Of 10000
Chinese. They were the dead Of
three divisions left to hold, perhaps
10000 men originally.
Most Of the others lay wounded,
The divisions operational units were
shattered. All was chaos.
Probing PotroIs
The Red armies had been no less
cruelty handled, but there were more
Of them. Now on this dawn the Reds
sent patrols forward to see whether
they had yet won.
In O rampant near the wall lay
Nah Tan-kao, thtck-set soldier Of
20 from q small farm near Ankiu.
Finding himself uninjured, he
took stock Of his feelings. He found
that after three days and nights Of
lighting he hated the Communists
violently.
This was . surprise because he
had learned that Q long night some
times leaves Q soldier impersonal.
Also when he was n boy his father
had repeated:
When you grow up you will help
chase away the Japanese"
He developed . boyhood hatred Of
Japanese. But instead, he fought
the Communists. Often he had won
dered:
why in the name Of the sages
cannot shantung be left alone?"
Then sometimes he would think:
THE Japanese and now the Com
munists and who next?"
Yet here, amid catastrophe, his
feelings had lost all complications.
He hated the Communists intensely
and wanted to Tight them again.
Well, there was no use trying to
do 1t here. Escape looked unlikely,
but he made his way back into the
edge Of the shattered city.
The Communists were there. They
had come in from another direction.
Capture seemed but q matter of
minutes. Then farmer Nah got

PoyroII Tex


Nobody knows better than the
District Commissioners the prob
lens that face them in tackling the
idea Of a payroll-withholding or
earnings tax as source Of District
Of Columbia revenue.
Besides practical difficulties and
unpopularity, such taxes as these
are apt to run into pretty tough
legal shedding.
For example, let's look at the
problem of double taxation"
The payroll or earnings tax con-
templates taxing all persons who
earn money in the District on the
income there earned. This would
apply to Virginia and Maryland
residents, as well as those who live
in the District.
There is no question that a tax
ing jurisdiction can tax income
derived within its borders. This
matter has been we'll settled. 1t
came up lately in the case of
Connecticut stock broker who OBJ
jected to having his seat on the
exchange taxed by the State OF
New York, and was resolved in
favor Of New York. The theory is
that State has a claim on people
who benefit from public expend-
lures of that State (for police and
fire protection, street maintenance,
transportation, etc..
Triple Toxotion?
But this situation is not the same
as the one which would result if
the District decided to tax Virginia
and Maryland residents. In the
latter case Uncle Sam is already tax
ing these same people on that same
income and part Of the revenue goes
to support the District. The State
governments are also taxing that
income. If the District imposes a
further income tax. would not Vir-
ginia and Maryland residents work.
ing in the District have their income
taxed three times-onse by their
State and twice by instrumentalities
Of the Federal Government?
Would such tax be held unduly
burdenSome on the taxpayer and
hence invalid? Nobody knows, in
the absence of a court decision.
But the point is that District pay
roll or earnings tax would not neces-
sarily enjoy the protection of estab-
lshed law since 1t presents an en-
tirely new situation; i.e., 1t involves
a Federal authority and a problem
Of double taxation.
And we do know that the courts
are touchy about indiscriminate
taxation of single source OF reve-
nue. by q single taxing authority.
Free Flow Of Commerce
Another problem involves the free
flow Of commerce. In the past,
certain taxes imposed by State
Jurisdictions which had the effect
Of reaching into out-of State tills
have been declared an interference
with interstate commerce and there
fore unenforceable. This factor
might trip UP a District earnings
tax.
Many people who live outside the
District earn only q part of their
income there, and conversely many
persons resident in the District earn
much Of their income in Virginia
or Maryland. Requiring these
people to prove which part Of their
income was earned In the District
could be exceedingly troublesome for
the taxpayer. II not downright i'm
possible. And. taxpayers suit on
this complaint might very well be
successful.
A third legal pitfall embraces the
matter of discrimination. Courts
traditionally show sour attitude
toward takes which discriminate in
their application.
No matter how q new D. C. tax.

Urbone Prime Minister No Typical Aussie'

Prime Minister Robert Gordon
Menzies Of Australia, who starts a
weeks visit in Washington today,
is quite different personality from
the typical Aussie" most Ameri-
cans envision.
Ask any young to middle-aged
man on the street for his idea of
an Australian. Hall In admiration,
half in amusement, he'll no doubt
describe . staggering. thick
twanged soldier with noisy, heel
plated boots and jaunty cowboy
hat rolled up on one side. Their
reputation for fabulous fighting
courage and bawdy jokes will be
confirmed by any CT who got close
enough to see them in action. They
drank powerful Australian beer out
of old-fashioned brown quart bot
ties, like grandfather used when
he was a lad. They were a hardy,
pioneer stock reminiscent of the
settlers who tanned our own Far
West.
Mr.. Menzies is entirely different.
He is urbane. not backwoodsy. In
stead of brashneSs. this rangy, 60
year-old statesman with the silver
hair and the bushy black eyebrows
has q quiet self-confidence that
sometimes borders on conceit. His
jokes are clean and delivered with
a rapier instead Of q bludgeon. His
taste in drink runs to vintage Eu-
ropean wines and Scotch with soda.
No beer. He prefers cigars to Gig
arettes.
'Hsovy-Set Eisenhower
In Australia he is q rock of en-
lightened conservatism. a sort OF
heavy-set Eisenhower with q Young
Republican background. He relishes
his current string Of political sue
cesses the more for having tasted
50 little success and 80 much failure
in an earlier, more precocious ex-
perience 40 Prime Minister.
Since last November 80 Mr.. Men
zies has held the Australian record
for occupying the premiership.
Counting his 1939-1941 and 1949-
1855 tours in power. he now has
surpassed World War I Premier
William Hughes record Of seven
years and three months. The Labor
Party opposition is split so thor
oughly that he looks good for at
least another three years and pos
sibly six. BY that time, say his
admirers, he should be invincible.
There was q time. though, when
Mr.. Menzies was as vincible as they
come. That was in 1899, when the
Canberra political setup. like many
another In the world at the time,
was disintegrating In all directions.
Mr.. Menzies took over the leader

UNCLE SAM FILES LIEN
AGAINST 64GS OF
MOORE'S PURSE

New York (CNS)-The Bureau
Of Internal Revenue boys stepped
in Immediately against Archie
Moore's purse which should reach
the magnificent total of $230,000
after TV receipts are counted in.
Uncle Sam wants $4,000 of the
total right away.
AS Truman Gibson explained
it-he's Secretary for Interna-
tional Boxing Club-Archie has
$4,000 due now for "a income.
The other 100000 is due as an
"anticipatory tax"-that is based
on Moore's '55 earnings against
Nino Valdes, Bobo Olson and
Marciano. Moore expects to
settle up right away through his
attorney, Mike Di Sale, former
chief of the office of Price AID
ministration.
Meanwhile, he has plenty of
loot left with his 20 per cent
share of the actual gate at
Yankee Stadium at $17O,498. The
TV receipts are expected to total
100000 for Archie that is.
