The Washmglon Merry-Go-Round By DREW P—EARSON «Contirued trom rage Cne' the Union message significantly omitted any reference to an ex- | cess-profits tax. Inside story is inai Economic Councillor John Clark, head of an interdepartmental group on fiscal policy, finally gave up the [fight for an excess-profits tax because of the obdurate sabotage and op- position of Secretary Snyder—long considered the President’s closest personal friend. Snyder has even gone to the ex- tent of placing his treasury tax technicians *“under wraps.” They are not available for conferences with the President’s staff or with administration leaders at the Capi- tol. Snyder even went so far as to refuse a request from Budget Director Webb for the major out- lines of a Treasury tax program to be included in the President’s budget message. Secretary Snyder is now confer- ring in secret session with Con- gressional leaders, but for the first time in recent history a Secretary of the Treasury will have no af- firmative recommendations to pr sent. Instead he will submit eral “alternatives” thereby abdi- cating Presidential leadership in tax policy. The chaos within the Treasury s emphasized by Snyder's refusal to choose between Assistant Secre- tary John Graham of North Caro- lina and General Counsel Lynch of Ohio to represent him in policy discussions with Con- gressional staffs. White House aides privately ad- mit that the lack of cooperation from the Treasury is frustrating and that the Truman-Snyder friendship presents a serious hur- dle to the attainment of a “fair deal” tax program BRICKER \b DEWEY Governor Dewey s tongue- stabbed in the back by his former running mate, Sen. Joh.a Bricker of Ohio, one day before President Truman's inauguration Margaret Chase Smith of Maine, Bricker was introduced as Dewey's running mate in 1944 “It is true,” snapped Bricker, eampaigned with Dewey in ‘44, for Dewey in ’'48—and if Dewey had campaigned for himself, we would be inaugurating a different man tomorrow.” Note—Most politicians agree it was the record of such Republicans in Congress as Bricker that really defeated Dewey. k.

Inside fact is that the Ellender bill ‘was written chiefly by Ray Foley. director of the Housing and Home Finance Agency, reportedly chummy with some of the big real estate lobby groups. Foley and his aides made no provisions for helping to finance the $2,000-$3,600 income group, though President Truman has re- peatedly told housing leaders that this group—which Truman called the “backbone” of the nation— should be helped to buy homes, by direct government loans if nec- essary. Senator Maybank is firing the first shot in the revolt against the Ellender-Foley bill by lnlroducmg‘ an entirely new housing bill—with government-loan provisions for the middle-income home buyers. INAUGURAL BACKSTAGE The eyes of the world were on President Truman as he took the inaugural oath, but only a fo\\-! officials saw how he started off | his first full term. Once off the inaugural stand, the President hustled to the office of his friend, Secretary of the Sen- ate Les Biffle, for a ham-and- turkey buffet luncheon. Just ahead of him darted Sergeant-at-Arms Joe Duke, resplendent in high hat and swallow tails. As Duke round- led the corner into Biffle's office, his tails almost standing out be- fhind, an employee blurted out: “hot dog!” The President, just behind, halt- |ed in his tracks, then chuckle | “No,” he said, “ham and turkey."
