THE TAX GOMMISSION ACT One of the fine jobs that the House of Repre- sentatives turned out was the amending of the Tax Commission bill under the direction of attorney members Stanley McCutcheon and Warren Taylor. As originally written the bill was quite clear. The tax commissioner would have been appointed to begin work April 1, 1945, and take over tax collection duties on July 1, 1945, allowing three months in which to equip an office and select a staff and also Donnie Maxwell Janice Likins W.

Senator Milton Young, newly-ap- pointed North Dakota Republican, | was welcomed by a group of his colleagues at a down-town Wash- mgton club last week Each of those present had a few words of advice— inostly facetious—to otfer him. Crusty old Senator Hugh Butler of Nebraska, however, a constant GOP foe of the Administration, got rather serious in his remarks. He iold Young that although the GOP is a minority in the Senate, it has a good ogranization and is able to 1make its weight felt. “Our party organization important thing,” he said. “But that does not mean that a mem- Ler is bound to vote with his party tt all times.

MacArthur's Army friends in Washington have a unique ex- planation for his refusal to let Maj. Gen. Norman Kirk, Surgeon General of the Army, visit Manila cn his recent inspection tour. They say privately that no suitable housing was available for Gen. Kirk. One MacArthur supporter, who is familiar with the Kirk in-| cident, added, “when you are a {ive-star general you don't have to an explanation for what you ido.” Further details of Gen.
