PROUD T() BE UNETHICAL In further demonstration of his superb talent for embarrassing the President, Maj. Gen. Harry H (Fixit) Vaughan has once more delivered himself of a candid remark that made the headlines. “I'm con- sidered in many circles to be very unethical, and I'm sure I will continue to be,” the garrulous general said at a party given in his honor by the veterans’ lobbies in Washington. “There ony two people T have | to pleases-Mr. Truman and Mrs. Vaughan.” The clear implication is that the President and Mrs. Vaughan are pleased with his unethical conduct. And at least so far as the President is concerned, that is inescapable result of his failure to discipline or strain the bumptious genera] after his indis were disclosed in a Congressional inVvestigation. It would be charitable to assume Vaughan was clowning. But there is for any such conclusion. On the contrary, to be candidly informing the veterans that the Pres dent has drawn a protective wall about his unethical “fixit” activities. Since he expects to continue the that has been regarded as unethical, there is also a hint in his remarks that he will still welcome gifts of i#1e Washingion vierry-Go-Round 3y DREW PEARSON antinued from Page One) are no warrant conduct | old rulers, U. 8 Nehru couldn't while here, that anti- Soviet bloc Asia.

The zest with which American woman have par- ticipated in the country’s political life during the past | jecade has been immensely invigorating to the demo- | cratic process. This zest has been the product in no small part of persistent educational efforts by the | League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan organization | devoted to the promotion of political responsibility through informed and active participation of citizens in government. The league, with some 700-odd local branches, equips its members with the facts about contemporary issues and with knowledge of the tech- niques necessary to make themselves felt as an ef- fective political force. H Here in Washington, the league will inaugurate {a series of 11 regional conferences to train women leaders in ways to stir voters to acceptance of party responsibility. The party system, it recognizes, is basic {to thé representative form of American Government. Therefore, without attachment to any particular party, the league proposes to prod, and use, both the major parties for achievement of the aims its members | desire. No doubt it will make itself felt very formid- | ably in the congressional elections next year. In urg- ing its members to take part in party activities, par- ticularly at the primary level, and in giving them the background to take part intelligently, the league will exercise, in the past, an extremely salutary influence. | as “An eminent physician believes he is on the verge of discovering the key to the universe.” If he finds { like for him to unlock the door and let us it, we'd It's getting | t20 outside and walk around for a while. terribly stuffy in here.

The new troop will be No. 609, to correspond with the Methodist cub pack 309.

New com- mitteemen and leaders for the CAMPAIGN |arms, John Wilson. New York Democrat, and a consci- entious member of the Ways and Means Committee, will head a sub- committee to investigate an import- ant loophole in the tax laws where- by life insurance companies do not pay income taxes. The life insurance companies- with admitted assets of over 50 billions and investments in practic- ally every kind of business—paid net a dime in income taxes to the Federal government for 1947 and 1948. And they will pay none for 1949. Despite months of with tax experts in the Department, spokesmen for = the insurance companies have refused to agree to a recommendation for even a token “stopgap” tax pay- ment of $45,000,000 2 year for 1948 and 1949—even though going “Scot- free” for 1947. At present the $1,500,000,000 an- nual net investment income of life insurance companies is not taxed— either as to the company or as to the policyholders. The job- of the Lynch Committee is to decide what taxes should be collected, and then to prepare legislation to close the loophcle in the present law. The committee has to do all this in the face of a lobby considerably more powerful than the real estate, oil, or public utility lobbies. It will be interesting to see how Congressman Lynclr maKes out in his lonely battle against the giants. NEUTRAL NEHRU Some people were disappointed when Prime Minister Nehru of In- dia issued his statement that In- dia would take no sides in the cold war. In view of India’s strategic position between the east and the west, his words fell with the un- welcome reverberation of a rock on a pelished ballroom floor. Nehru's neutrality, however, not news to State Department of ficials who invited him to this country and who knew that, as be- tween the Russians and the Brit- negotiations Treasury was ish, Nehru had spent most of his life fearing the British. To change this suspicion of the western world was specificically why they invited him. Nehru spent 13 years in a British jail, considers Russians more A fatic than European, governs a pe ple who are not much more than one rice bowl ahead of starvation Instinctively, Indians think of ¥ sia as having a higher standard of living than theirs and are less fearful of the Soviet than of their The details haven't been worked out, but President Truman is plan- ning at least one trip to whip up popular support for the planks of his fair deal legislative platform which Congress has not yet passed. He confined this to Representa- tives Frank Karsten of Missouri and Mel Price of Illinois when Kar- sten reminded him that the tough- est battles—increased taxes, civil rights, aid to education—were to be fought in the January session “You ought to go out again thl fall as you did during last y campaign and lay these issues square before the people,” ‘suggested the Missouri Congressman. “There’s still much to be done and well can muster to enact legislation.” “I persuade replied President. “In i've already planned one trip to Minnesota early next month. I'm going by train and may make some stops on the way, though that's still undecided.” CAPITAL NEWS CAPSULES White House and Strikes—All sorts of pressure has been brought on President Truman to inter- |vene in the steel and coal strikes, including appeals from .such pow- this pending easily,” {David Lawrence of Pittsburgh, Jack Arvey of Chicago, and chair- man Boyle of the Democratic Na- tional Committee. They wanted him it least to issue a statement ask- ing the steel companies to accept the finding of his own fact-find- |ing board Congressman Ray Madden of Indiana, one of those who appealed, told Truman that {idle steelworkers in Gary, Ind, will be forced into breadlines un- less the coal and steel strikes are settled soon. Many small business !firms will have to close their dcors if the strikes last much longer Madden reported.
