No Returns Filed
AS outlined by some officials
here the action ordered by Mr.
Moysey grew out of these de-
velopmentS: ~
The Communist Party did not
file tax returns. And, unlike the
Democratic and Republican par
ties, it did not file financial re-
ports with Congress.
Internal Revenue agents, re-
portedly at least six months ago
had reason to question whether
the Communist Party was en-
titled to a tax exemption. They
relied on several definitions in
the law regarding such exemp-
tions, and also a clear ban on ex-
iemptions to organizations en-
gagged in propaganda as distin-
'guished from political publicity
The Communist Party head
quarters said it had no records
or books to show the agents. The
party officials also did not fill

York by telephone, told Mr..
Harrington's public relations as
sistant late yesterday that he
believed he had a clear duty to
act as he did.
"a district collector" he said,
''is obligated to check any place
where he feels there may be un-
paid taxes. When my Office

Loss Claims CHALLENGED

out an return the tax-exemption
application forms sent to them
Loss Claims Challenged
The Daily Worker, the party's
official newspaper in this coun-
try, has filed tax returns but
claimed losses every year since
its establishment in 1924. Those
claims were challenged by the
revenue agents in New York.
No court case has been filed
either against the newspaper OF
the party. Nor were there any
conferences with the Internal
Revenue Service. 1t was ex-
planned that the burden of proof
in a tax claim is on the taxpayex
in such instances.
Mr.. Moysey finally decided to
crack down on the party and its
newspaper property in an at
tempt to recover tax money he
believed Is owed to the Govern
ment in his district. The total
of the tax liens filed in Federal
Court is admittedly an estimated
met worth appraisal. 1t was
worked out as the basis for pos
sible conferences or court action.
An internal revenue director
has a great measure of auton-
omy in his district in the collec-
ton of taxes and is not bound to
notify Commissioner Harrington
or anyone else in the Washing
ton administrative headquarters.
Sudden Raids Authorized

tor considerable latitude in stag
ing sudden raids on property

oroprietors would remove or

The Daily Worker saida in an
editorial today that Treasury
agents knew six months ago
that the paper had a 100000
annual deficit, but had threat
ened to force the paper to pay
income taxes unless it disclosed
names of contributors and
lenders.

Although it's editorial Offices
were locked, the Daily Worker
was able to roll an estimated
$4,000 copies off the presses to-
day because the papers type

"Our office seized-here we
are" read the papers headline.
Meanwhile, Harry Sacher, act
ing as attorney for the Daily
Worker, said action might be
started in Federal Court next
week to vacate the seizure of
the publications editorial and
business Offices.
Right now," he told newsmen,

"As far as I'm concerned" Mr..
Sacher said, "the paper does not

He said the Daily Worker,
printed on presses of a private

There's New Art to Patching Up Small Fry
BY EDNA MILES

MOTHERS who must stop
lV1 daily in the midst of
such "tiny" tasks as clean
ing the entire house or do
ing the family. laundry to
patch up minor injuries suf-
fered by the small fry know
what it means TO try to quiet
a frightened child.
And even minor accidents
brighten small children. But once
the fear of pain and the slight
sense of shock are gone, they love
showing off. A bandage is a fine
device for getting attention from
other kids and the whole neigh
borhood. It's conversation
piece in the same sense as the
latest charm on mothers bangle
bracelet.
Knowing this, one manufac-
turer has produced colored adj
hesive first-aid bands illustrated
with clowns, animals, toys and
storybook characters. The bands
are, of course, sterile, water
resistant and protective.
Aside from keeping a small
wound clean, which any adj
hesive band will do, they are in
tended to quiet the child aad
divert his attention from a cut
finger or bruised knee. And this,
in turn, will take the weight
from mother and allow her to
get back to the vacuum cleaner
or the family laundry hamper.

President Ready

President Eisenhower has out
lined a new administration
policy Of reciprocity on visits
between United States and
Soviet officials.

Gen. Nathan F. Twining's trip
to a Soviet air demonstration
later this month, the President
told a news conference yester-
day he would invite the Air
Force Chief of STATS Russian
opposite number to see the same
things here if Moscow gives any
indication it wants a return
visit.
The President said he would
invite his World War II friend,
Marshal Georgi Khukov, if the
Kremlin first invites Secretary
of Defense Charles E. Wilson.
Marshal zhukov is the Soviet
Minister of Defense.
In Moscow, Communist Party
Chief Nikita KhruShchev de-
clined to comment last night
on Mr.. Eisenhower's statement.

Marshal Zhukov has not shown

Carolina Court
UphoIds Schools

RALEIGH. N. c., June Z (P)
The North Carolina State
Supreme Court ruled yesterday
that the States Constitution
still requires support of public
schools despite the United
States Supreme Courts voidine
of provisions for segregated
schools.
The courts ruling was con-
tanned in a decision turning
down an appeal by B. K. Con-
stantian, who sought to block
the issuance of $3.50, 900 in bonds
for school construction in An
son County.
Mr.. Constantian contended
the bonds were approved by An
son voters for building segre-
gated schools. Since the United
States Supreme Courts segrega-
ton decisions, he argued, the
money could not be used for this
purpose. The bond issue was
voted in 1852, before the courts
decision.
The State Supreme Courts
opinion, written by Associate
Justice William H. Bobbitt. ex-
pressed the deep conviction
that the United States Supreme
Courts segregation rulings cam
not be reconciled with the in
tent" of those who drafted and
ratified the 14th Amendment to
the Federal Constitution. He
added, however. that the Ma
TONS high court sis the final
arbiter" and its decision lis the
law of the land and will remain
SO unless reversed or altered by
constitutional means"
