SPENDING Addressing the New Jersey Taxpayers Association, Senator Taft recently declared that the President has “recklessly indorsed almost every project for F(’dcrxl‘ spending which anyone has proposed,” while his “only reference to taxes was to advocate a reduction of taxa- tion ‘designed to stimulate business without losing sight of the budgetary situation.’” Senator Taft is not speaking as a foe of tax reduction.

At that level of taxation, Fed- eral, State and local governments would take close to 30 per cent of the national income. Or, as Senator Taft puts it, every man would have to work more than one in four days for the Government. Of course, there is no fixed limit to the amount of income that the State may take for its own use. That depends upon how far a nation desires to go in sub- stituting public spending for private enterprise.

At a recent Sons banquet, which Truman attended, it was brought out that his forebears were Irish- men named Tremaine. So officials of the organization called at the ‘White House the other day to offer Truman an honorary membership. “We have already voted you in at an executive meeting,” Colliflower, president of the society announced. “We'd be delighted to have you accept and attend out next St. Patrick’s Day dinner.” Barring out - of - town business, ‘Truman said he would be on hand for the banquet “I don't see any reason why I shouldn't accept an honoiary mem- bership in the Friendly Sons of St Patrick, also,” he ad@ed. “But do you think I qualify?” “Certainly you qualify, Mr. Preside: spcke up Martin J. McNam popular Washington attorney eorge Washington was a member. He joined the society in Iphia after it was organized 4. Uniess I am mistaken, you would be the second President in history who became an honorary member of the Friendly Sons.” ‘Truman replied that in that case they could count him in and thanked his visitors for the com- pliment THE MAN CONGRESS TRUSTS He didn’t get in the headlines, but the man largely responsible for passage of Truman’s Government Reorganization Bill was Comptrol- ler General Lindsay Warren, for 16 years a leading member of Congress. Not only do both and Democrats trust him, but it was Warren's forthright testimony before the Senate and House Com- mittees that hrought Congress out of its lethargy. Warren watched the bill like a hen with one chick all during its prog through Congress. Three others also deserving credit are Jack Cochran of Missouri, Will Whittington of Mississippl, and Sen. Abe Murdock of Utah.

After speaking briefly, he in- | vited questions from Congressmen. While he didn’t reveal anything | significant that he hadn't already | said in public statements, members jcame away with the rare feeling that. Stassen had not dodged a single question thrown at him. i | Fresh out of his Navy uniform, Stassen called for a limited form of unification of the Army and the Navy—referring particularly to pro- curement and the duplication of | airfields. At the same time he in- i sisted that “the U. S. Navy is the best outfit in the world.” i { | Asked about how he would advise handling the atom bomb, Stassen | declared that it is “time for gov- ernment to catch up with the scientists. They are far ahead of | the politicians now, and public! policy-makers must catch up with them if we are to handle the terri- | fying things which they devise,| for the best interest of the people.” | The United States and Russia | must and can get together, Stassen | said. “The important thing which ‘Amencans and Russians must learn |is that the people of both lands want peace.” He added that he | could understand ‘how the Ru sians could be suspicious when o | government opposes their intern: ‘uonal policies, yet has no set plan of its own. “They can't see what direction we're going in, and so I can| understand that they feel suspi- cious,” he said.” ! As he finished, Senator William Stanfill of Kentucky who succeeded | Baseball Czar Happy Chandler, remarked: “Mr. Stassen, let me congratulate you on your courage and your clarity.” .
