Williams Hits
Tax Services
Probeof Leak

Senator Williams, Republican
of Delaware, says the Internal
Revenue Service used lie de-
tectors in an effort to find out
which of its men was leaking
information to him.
One Revenue Service official
was fired on trumped up
charges, Senator Williams said
yesterday, after he refused to
take the lie detector test be-
cause he felt it was insulting
Actually, Senator Williams said,
the man was not one of his In
formants.
The Senator is known for his
quiet one-man Investigations
often centering on the Internal
Revenue Service. He collects
information. then reports to
the Senate. His efforts were
factors in several shakeups in
the old Internal Revenue Ru-
reau.
He was Instrumental in the
indictments of a number of
persons. including Matt Con-
nelly, former White House
aide to President Truman, and
T. Lamar Caudle, head of the
Justice Departments tax divi-
sion. They were convicted Of
fixing a tax case.
Senator Williams said the lie
detector inquiry was under
taken without the knowledge
Of Treasury Secretary Ander-
son. When Williams found out
about it last April or May, he
said, it was dropped swiftly.
Senator Williams said the

revenue service began quizzing
its own men after he made a
Senate speech charging that
a New Jersey firm had been
allowed to claim as business
expenses S1.8 million in payoffs
to officials of the Dominican
Republic.
He said two revenue inves-
tigators were assigned to find
out how Senator Williams had
learned of the case, as well az
how he had turned up several
scandals during the Truman
administration.
Senator Williams said the
man who was fired told him
about the inquiry. He declined
to name this man. He said he
checked the mans personnel
folder and is convinced the dis
missal was on trumped-up
charges of characterization.
The man had an excellent
service record" Senator Will
liams said. He had just been
recommended for meritorious
recognition for constructive
suggestions for improving serv-
ice. Then he went into the
dog ouse, right after that"

and l948 and as Secretary of
Defense in 1851 and 1852.
First. he said, this country
needs a new cabinet officer to
be a full-time International
negotiator. With a title such
as Minister of Foreign Affairs. IS
the new official could be re-
sponsible to the Secretary of
State and the President and
could give the Secretary of
State a chance to stay home
and run his department.
Second, high Defense De-
partment officials including the
Secretary, should be nom
political.
Third, the President should
formulate clear-cut national
strategy goals.
Fourth, a reduction lis
needed in the number of De-
Tense Department committees
which are no longer mere
nuisances> but have become
positive menaces to the prompt
and orderly conduct of bust
ness"
Fifth. the conflict of inter-
est" laws should be eased to
permit qualified men to take
Government jobs and to hold
them longer with less personal
loss.
Sixth. Defense and State De-
partment budgets, he said,
should be drawn up by deter
mining, "(a) what is necessary
land not merely desirable) for
national security; (b) whether
it is feasible from the point of
view of national resources and
production machinery, and tc)
whether Isl socially or polit-
lcally acceptable to the people. "
Mr.. Lovett also cited the
Importance of having the budg-
etary goals determined from the
outset by a great concern for a
system Of priority of national
need and not have them too
greatly influenced by the Off
Gals of the Bureau of the Budg-
ct itself"
Tomorrow the subcommittee
will hear Robert c. Sprague
and James Phinney Baxter III,
both frequent consultants to
the Government on defense and
administration.

committee, said his group was
trying to answer the question:
How can a free society or
ganize to out-think, out-plan
and out-perform totalitarian-
ism-and achieve security in
freedom?"
Mr.. Lovett boiled this down
to, Why does it take the Gov
eminent so long to make up
its mind?"
Reason for Slow Process
The main reason, he said, is
the "often-forgotten fact that
our form of government, and
its machinery, has had built
into it a series of clashes of
group needs. They appear to
have been originally designed
to protect the individual citizen
and to keep any one group or
department OF Government
from getting too dominant. &.
When Government was
small. the 'foul-up' system
must have worked very we'll;
when Government became
large, it probably worked fairly
we'll. But Government has now
become gigantic at the very
moment in history when time
itself is not merely a measure,
or a dimension, but perhaps
the difference between life and
death"
He had several recommended
tons for cutting through the
foul-up factor in the Defense
and State Departments. Mr..
Lovett, a Republican, served in
the Truman administration as
Undersecretary of State in l947
