Senators Call
Mcnamara on
Gag Charge
BY the Associated Press

---~~~--~~-
The Senate Armed Services
Committee will question De-
fense Secretary Mcnamara be-
fore deciding whether to in
Vestigate charges that speech
making military men have been
muzzled by Pentagon policies.
Mr.. Mcnamara was sum-
moned yesterday to a public
hearing Wednesday.
Senator Thurmond, Demo-
Icrat of South Carolina, is de-
Imanding a special investigation
Of his charges that top military
brass have been prevented
from speaking out about the
dangers of communism.
Chairman Russell, Democrat
Of Georgia. said the committee
decided that before acting on
Senator Thurmond's request,
I'VE should get the Secretary
of Defense to advise us with
respect to the policies of the
Department of Defense in con-
nection with statements by
military personnel"
Senators in Dispute
Senator Thurmond has en-
gagged in a dispute with SEN
ator Fulbright, Democrat Of
Arkansas, over Senator Full
bright's memorandum to the
Defense DEPARTMENT, suggest
ing military officers stick to
military subjects in their
speeches and stay away from
such delicate questions as for
eign policy.
Senator Fulbright said he
sent the memo on his own, not
in his capacity as chairman of
the Foreign Relations Com
mittee.
President Kennedy said the
memorandum was requested
by Mr.. Mcnamara and Sena-
tor Fulbright performed a use
full service in preparing it.
Senator Fulbright contends
there is a danger of military
leaders being used by extrem-
list groups to promote their pol
icies under the guise of anti
communism.
Intimidation Charged
Senator Thurmond, a major
general in the Army Reserve,
charged in a series of Senate
speeches and public statements
that Senator Fulbright's men,
orandum was an attempt to
intimidate military men and
that the main issue involved
is not the question of civilian
supremacy over the military.
He said censorship" of
speeches by military men is a
direct result of Communist ef-
forts, furthered by "others who
are working for the same
goals"
Senator Thurmond, a mem
Der Of the Armed Services Com
mittee, has said he has no in
tention Of asking that Senator
Fulbright be called as witness
if an inquiry is launched.
Walker Inquiry Urged
Senator Fulbright sent his
memo to the Defense Depart
nrent about o month after the
Army rebuked Mai. Gen. Edwin
A. Walker for making deroga-
tory statements about former
President Truman and other
prominent Americans.
Gen. Walker, removed from
his infantry command in Ger
many, was accused also of
pressing Of the teachings Of the
ultra conservative John Birch
Society on his troops. Gen.
Walker was cleared Of this
charge.
Several members Of Congress
have demanded an inveStiga-
ton of the Walker case.
Senator Thurmond wants the
Senate to set up a special staff,
armed with the full subpoena
powers Of the Senate, to con-
duct "a full and complete study
and investigation of the use Of
military personnel and facilities
to arouse the public to the
menace Of the cold war"

MI. Petersen explained the
sources of taxes in the Islands and
threw light on the matching
funds which Congress permits
to the Islands, based on the tax
on Virgin Islands sugar imported
into the mainland. The Virgin Is
lands receives 81 for each 81 in
taxes raised locally.
Most revenue in the Virgin Is
lands is accounted for in the Gen
eral Fund, Mr.. Petersen explain
ed. Then he continued:
"The general fund is the operat
ing fund of the government of the
Virgin Islands; from it salaries &
expenses of operating the various
departments are paid. The main
source of revenues under this
fund is the income tax which con
stltutes about 500 of the total re-
venues. The fiscal year 1859 1850
collections from this source
amounted to a total of $4,329,017.8 SO
of a total OF $7,251,8 1867 "a collected.
This situation is very different to
that found in most communities
wherein real property taxes pro-
vide the main source of revenues.
In the Virgin Islands for the same
fiscal year the property tax only
yielded a total of $372,724.81."
In addition to the property and
income taxes, there are is other
sources of income in the Virgin
Islands, as follows: Inheritance
taxes, stamp taxes, trade excise
and gross receipts taxes (2nd larg-
est) customs duties, licenses, fees
and permits, automobile licenses,
amusement taxes, corporate fran
chise taxes, fines, forfeits and pen
interests, court costs, fees
and charges, wharfage and ship
medical service fees, SAINT
airy service fees, water sales and
miscellaneous receipts.

MAKING MONEY

If the IT, s government suddenly started
printing twice as many new one-dollar oliis
as it took out of circulation each year, every
one knows what would happen. We would
have initiation of the worst kind.
Without realizing it, Americans are ask
ing the government to do what amounts to
much the same thing. They are demanding
that Congress spend more and more money on
more and more services and social welfare
programs If the government took in enough
taxes to pay for the extra expenses, that
would be one thing-but over the years the
government has spent 1920 billion more than
it has taken in.
When the government needs money 1T
doesn't have, it can deposit a promissory note
in commercial bank; then it writes checks
against the deposit. People who receive the
checks cash them, and the government has
created money where none existed before.
The effect is the same as if the government
had printed that amount of new money with
out withdrawing any old money from cir
culation.
OF course, expansion of the money sup
ply by the banking system is not in itself
something to be condemned. In fact, as the
country grows we are sure to need more
money to keep the economy operating. What
is dangerous is the abuse of the money-creat-
ing facilities of the banks in order to expand
government expenditures without collecting
additional taxes. Such abuse is bound to lead
to initiation and reduction in value of every
bodys money.

FICTION AND TRUTH

Quite a few novels concerning World
War Ii are appearing among the new books
these DAYS. Some new novels concern other
wars, but the most recent, and the greatest
war of all, is naturally good subject
The question which occurs to newspa-
perman, concerning novels about war, is
why so many people prefer novels to the
truth
Probably few people realize it, but sur
prising number of true stories about World
War III, many of them pure spine-tingling
drama, but true, have been published since
the war. No novel can surpass them for
thrilling reading, heroics, adventure and es-
cape.
For exciting reading, some of the spy
stories, some of the submarine stories, COM
merce raider accounts, stories of the great
fighter pilots, stories Of escapes from pris-
oner-of-war camps, stories of individual ac-
tions, or biographies of the leaders in the
war years, are unbeatable.
When one has read such accounts, and
enjoyed them, re has also added greatly to
his store of knowledge. We recommend this
type of reading for those who like adven-
ture and excitement in their books.

BABSON DISCUSSES LIFE INSURANCE STOCKS

Is that a growing life insurance
company must continually "plow
back" more money for the required
legal reserve. You know that life
insurance companies are carefully
audited by the government, which
is another reason for buying them.
To offset the small cash divi-
dends. the companies pay generous
stock dividends. Some pay such
stock dividends every year: while
other companies give a large 50qo
or more dividend every five years.
These stock dividends are nontax-
able until you sell the stock re-
ceived there from. AS rule, life
insurance stocks are bought only
by rich people: but In many cases
this is one reason these people are
rich. My appeal this week is that
small investors buy good life in
surance stocks now. although most
bankers and brokers will always
claim that such stocks are "too
high,
