NATION, Fourth Thurdday, November 29, 1951 THE BUSINESS MAN’S PRAYER Oh Lord, I acknowledge Thy existence and the existence of a lot of other things less godly, which I can overcome only with Thy help and the help of my own backbone. I fully realize that on all hands are invisible forces, which seek my destruction, and that, if T am to come through unscathed, I must fight every inch of the way. . . GIVE me strength to lightly bear my burden of living, and to smile till my burden becomes a joy, for verily this is the secret of all earthly gladness. . TEACH me that sixty mihutes make one hour, sixteen ounces one pound, and one hundred cents one dollar. . HELP me to live so that I can lie down at night with a clear conscience, without a gun under my the dinner table at the wife, who has been to me a blessing, I will have nothing to conceal. . . KEEP me young enough to laugh with my chil- | & dren and to lose myself in their play. . . AND then when there comes the smell of flowers, the tread of soft steps, and the crunching of the hearse’s wheels in the gravel out in front of my| place, make the ceremony short and the epitaph | simple—“HERE LIES A MAN.” (Note: The above prayer was written thirty-five years ago, by a man named Homer McKee — an Indiana boy who grew up to become one of the world’s most gifted advertising copy writers. Mr. Mciee passed away two years ago this month.) PRESIDENTIAL LIMIT: TEN YEARS Ratification of the Twenty-Second Amendment to the Constitution has been completed by the neces- sary ‘number of states and, as a cons2quence, tenure in the office of President has been limited to two elected terms or to ten years in case of succession from the Vice-Presidency. The Amendment does not apply to the present Chief Executive. It legalizes the rulé which has been the traditional custom since the refusal of George Washington to take a third term. It proclaims to the world that no individual is so indispensable as to serve longer than ten years as the President of this Republic. While we are not inclined to much “regimenta- tion” in the Government of the country, preferring to belleve that the people have the right to the! government they happen to desire, the new amend- ment will probably be a good thing. It will remove suspicion, which has become somewhat widespread, that the multitudinous ramifications of the Federal Government involving so many federal employees, make possible a job-holding oligarchy that tends to keep incumbents in office indefinitely. The Washingfon Merry-Go-Round (Continued from Page One) think of other reasons for the pro- duction. But you never think of the other reasons until you force us to give the price increases.” “I don’t give a damn what it does to stabilization,” snapped Wilson. “We need the metals.” Shortly after this argument the cost-of-living index shot up again, automatically giving 1,000,000 CIO auto workers a wage increase, which in turn sharpened the determin- ation of CIO steelworkers and other unions to get a wage boost L e e @ ey SEN. McCARRAN GETS BETTER | Sen. Pat McCarran is supposed to be a very sick man. He was not too sick, however, to dispatch a strange | two-page telegram to Chairman | Cecil King cf the House committee stig tax {rauds, and to send his own personal investigator to barge into the tax situation. Since a Senate finance subcom- mittee, under able Senator Williarps of Delaware, is already probihg tax frauds; and since a House commit- tee is also probing taxes and doing a good job of it, Senator MeCar- ran’s sudden interest from a hos- pital bed in Reno has aroused ih- teresting speculation. Perhaps, sug- gest some, the Senator’s own shirt- tail is showing. Those who make this suggestion recall that it's a matter of official record that one of McCarran's henchmen, Deputy Tax Collector Pat Mooney in Reno, sold $5,000 in worthless Nevada mining stock to Gertrude Jenkins, the San Franh- cisco abortionist, when she was un- der investigation for a $57,000 tax fraud, Mooney, who got his tax-collect- ing job through Senator McCarran, also sold $2,400 of worthless’' mining stock to “Bones” Remmer, big-time gambler - of when Remmer faced a $910,000 in- come-tax deficiency. These interesting little matters were probed by the Kefauver crime committee, but then dropped after Senate collcagues hastened to cut off funds for a further crime probe Now, however, a House committee has rudely taken up where the Ke- fauver committee left off and is scheduled to investigate northern California tax matters in January under O'Gara. Murphy’s father and McCarran were old prospecting pals and McCarran blocked the ap- pointment of other judges until the Justice Department finally appoint- ed Murphy to the bench. Investigating The Investigators After butting into the San Fran- cisco tax situation, McCarran’s in- vestigator to Los Angeles to investigate Cong- ressman King himself. Sourwine’s line of inquiry in Los Angeles in- dicated that he was hunting for evidence that King may have exert- ed political . pressure on the U. 8. Attorney's office in behalf of a friend, Thomas A. Gregory. Gregory is involved in a tax investigation and a $30,000,0000 lawsuit over the Loqg Loan tion the Los Anteles phase of his investigation in the unprecedented telegram he later sent to Cong- |ressman King. Though this tele- gram has never been made public, this column has obtainéd a copy. Explaining his committee’s sud- den interest in thé San Francisco case, McCarran wired: “I am con- fident that further and detailed in- vestigation of -these matters would he proper function of Senate Judic- iary cominittee. “However,” he added,'“I know my comtnittee frowns 'of . overlapping and 'duplication of effort. . .I am confident that members of the Ju- diciary committee would agree that invéstigations undertaken with the proper juriSdiction by one commit- tee should’ be brought to"a conclu- slon by that group unless tHere is| evidence indicating -unsatistaction or incompléte handling of such mat- ter. It is strange this. argument dldn't ioccur to McCafrah befote he be- gan his ‘own, independent investi- gation—sihce both .the King com- mittee andl. Senate Finahce cominit- tee were already looking : into the| San Francisco tax troubles. How~ ever, ' to lvo!d duplication, l(cle- ran wiréd King that “Iam iristruct- | northern _ California {4ng counsel Senate Judiciazy com- mittee to turn over tb your com- mittee immediately all investigat- ive reports dealing with above-fhen- tioned subject matter.” 2 McCarran concluded by nqneiu:: that King keep him “advised progress respecting these matters as 1 must report fully to Sel Judicfary committee when cm reconvenes.” King may easily’have read a hid- | den “warning between the lines, however, that his San Franeisco McCARRAN’S COUNTERPROBE In preparation for this, the House ' committee’s west coast investigator, | Charles Tobin showed up in' Reno,' which may have been why Senator McCarran sat bolt upright in bed | and started to do his own investi- gating. McCarran is chairman of the Judiciary committee, which has | noting to do with taxes. Further- | more, his committee is not sup-| posed to overlap the work of an-| other committee. Despite this, Mec- Carran sent his trusted investigator, | J. C. Sourwine, to start a counter- | probe. Sourwine first slipped into San FPrancisco and proceeded to cross-| examine Charles O'Gara, the Assist- tant U. S. Attorney who pioneered the first tax-fraud probe. Sourwine’s line of questioning was not at all friendly. It was not that of a man who wants to see tax frauds clean- ed up. Incidentally, it was another Mc- Carran man, U. 8. Judge Edward Murphy, who dismissed the grand Jury which’was probing tax frauds | probe had better not e McCarran. For reports quickly filtered back to King that McCar- ran’s man was snooping Long Beach, and McCarran - must have known these reports would get | back to King from his own Congres- | sional district. Futhermore, it Was unprecedented |for McCarran to telegraph Cong- ressman King, instead of Senator Williams of Deleware. Willlams has also been investigating the San Francisco tax scandals for the Sen- ate Finance committee, but he has not sent an on-the-spot investigator to San Francisco, as did Congress- man King. Also, under Senate rules, a Sen~ ate committee is not likely to em- barrass a fellow Senator. McCarran, however, couldn't be so sure about a House -committee. Finally, it is interesting that of all the tax scandals in the nation, the only scandals McCarran chose to double check were those on his own doorstep. McCarran did not send his. investigators to St. Louis, New York City or Boston—only to San Fran- Sourwine slipped down; Community Evenis TODAY At 7:30 p.m.—District committee of Boy Scouts meets in high school study hall.
