MEMBER OF ASSOC IATED PRESS ively entitled to the use for NG REPRESENTATIVES — West- v, December 29, 1951 SOME ’Hll\(. P()R NOTHING? Perennial issue for the last eighteen years is the question of centralized Federal government. Every one of us is aware, from his own personal experience, the activities of the Federal government have expanded in recent years until they touch the life of almost every individual. Your tax bill is a fair indi- iation of the growth of Federal activity — a growth that interferes increasingly with your right as a citizen to spend your earnings as you see fit. Congressman Wesley D'Ewart of Montana points out that one of the ways the Federal government uses to increase its power is the myriad of grants and payments to states and individuals. These programs are lumped under the term Federal Aid. Best selling point is the illusory premise that the state or indi- vidual is getting something for nothing. ¢ is getting something for nothing. the hard way. When we are offered something for nothing it is prudent to look for the joker. When the Federal govenment proposes to give us some- thing for nothing, we may be sure that we will pay for it, not only in increased taxes but by sacrifices, in varying d ee, of our individual freedoms and of the authority and integrity of our local governments. that vidu: And these are our birthright as Americans. Congressman D'Ewart noted that Montanans paid $91,000,000 in direct federal taxes during the fiscal year 195 Federal grants in aid to the citizens and state of Montana amounted to $33,000,000. In other ds, Montanans paid nearly three dollars for every " dollar they received. The same ratio prevails har support. *| machine, Those who favor additional federal aid programs should look at the record. The figures are further proof, if any is needed, that we don’t get something for nothing when we hold out our hands towards Washington. The GOP’s Big Job (Cincinnati Enquirer) Politics, by its very nature is a series of ‘com- promises. Individuals and groups of individuals, seeking political leadership, advocate certain prin- ciples and certain codes of action. These must be altered time and again, must be shifted, expanded— and often completely reversed—in order to gain popu- There’s nothing wrong about such a system. It's really a sifting process employed by democracies aiming at evolving the best possible of government. Most of America political difficultics at the momént can be traced to the fact that in the last decade we haven't been allowed to change — to compromise, if you please. Our leaders in Washing- ton have set a course — and we've been virtually forced to follow it. Entrenched behind a powerful these politicians have become arrozant, thoughtless of the national good, blind to the damage they're doing. It's the same old story, repeated a thousand times in the ‘world’s histcry. Too much power, extended over too long a time, reacts against the interests of the majority. Most Americans have realized their plight for several years — and through several administrations. But the situation never has been quite so obvious as it is today, with all sorts of asininity in goveinment highlighted by a glaring lack of basic morality. Never was there a time when a change was more desperately | needed. Obviously it is up to the Republican party to make the change possible. The full burden of responsibility rests on those shoulders — for it is clear now that the Democrats will continue along the merry way which Mr. Truman is leading. But des- perate as the need for change may be, it will not come automatically. It must be won at the polls— | and with all the machinations of a political cam- paign. To attract the votes necessary for this vital| victory, the GOP must fight against the odds of a wealthy, deeply entrenched and highly skilled political organization. The only way to beat it is by presenting | to the people of the United States an attractive \md| | feasible program of reform, under leadership which | has been proved honest, capable and farsighted. This | will demand some compromise within the Republican | party itself, certain realignments of loyalties, the abandonment of petty jealousies and feuds, the estab- lishment of a hard, central core of cooperative effort against a common danger. Such pre-election work already is in progres; It doubtless “will continue until satisfactory adjust- ments are reached. Certainly it would be tragic if, at this great moment, the future of the nation would | be jeopardized by intraparty failure. A united front,' under an enlightened banner, will insure victory. Most Americans are praying that the Grand oud | in the rest of the states. publican National Party will achieve it. Committee at The Washinglon “Merry-Go-Roind (Continued from Page One) showing his astonishing trust in “the Dutchman” by siopping any investigation of Grunewald’s past. GRUNEWALD'S PAST “The office of the Custodian has investigated MP. Grunewald” Crowley’s office stated on Aug. 25, 42, “and because of the nature of the work to be performed by this | man for the custodian, it is re- quested that the Civil Service, Commission refrain from making any investigation of Mr. Grune- wald. His record is entirely satis- factory to the custodian.” Perhaps what Crowley wanted to cover up was Grunewald’s record | as a government prohibition ag- ent. This showed he was demoted from $4,000 to $1,800 January 12, 1922, and finally was kicked out of the government on October 3, 1922, after being in- dicted by a New York Grand Jury, in connection with the “illegal re- moval and disposition of liquor.” Later, in a job application, Grunewald gave this version of his indictment: “In October, while I was a general agent as- signed to the New York prohibition office, I was indicted by a Federal Grand Jury_in the Southern Dist- | rict of New York for conspiracy to violate the federal prohibition law. The indictment named a number s, including Mr. Ros- ver and myself. The 1inst me was dismissed af- »r o verdict was indicated to the jury by Federal Judge Winslow... 50 Years an Alien “In {fairness to myself,” Grune- wald explained, “I believe that I should add that the whole indict- ment was a move in a political battle raging in New York at that time, and the prohibition unit was simply a pawn.” Here are some more things which the systery man might have told the King Committee but didn’t: Grunewald was born May 19, 1892, at Port Elizabeth, South Af- rica, but neglected to become nat- uralized as an American citizen until February 3, 1942. This was two months after Pearl Harbor and after he went to -work for the Alien Property custodian. a year on | For years, as an alien, Grune- wald worked for various branches of the government. He served in the U. S. Navy from 1909 to 1914, worked as a desk clerk at the Naval | Young Men’s Christian Association in Brooklyn, got a job in 1914 as a hbookkeeper for Western Electric New York City.

In 1919, he served as con- fidential investigator for the Re- 'and developed so many high con- | tacts. 1922, { $6,000. In 1921 he got a $4,000-a- year job with the Commissioner of Prohibition which, ironically, came under the Internal Revenue Bureau. It was his relations with ex-commissioner Schoeneman and ex-counsel Oliphant of Internal Revenue which recently brought| Grunewald into the limelight. Grunewald has also developed liquor business, and as late as 1944 he was under investigation by the lalcohol tax unit for alleged black- marketing in liquor. Grunewald also spent from 1928 |to 1942 as a personal, confidential investigator for Henry W. Marsh, the insurance mogul, at a stated | salary of $12,000 to $18,000. Note—In his tax returns Grune- wild does not give the source of large chunks of income. This col- umn is still mystified how, from such a relative modest salary and background, he was able to oper- ate two homes, three limousines CHRISTMAS GIFTS Graft scandals have made gov- ernment officials so jittery that Christmas packages from business friends were scrutinized this year as never before. Some officials returned anything looking like “influence” gifts with- out even opening the package to see what was inside. However, the wife of a Navy Department em- ployee couldn’t resist the tempta- tion and opened a large, ornately wrapped box brought by the mail- man. Inside was a year’s supply of Boy Scout calendars for her hus- band, an Arlington, Va., Scout- master. | MERRY-GO-ROUND Holiday joke going the rounds at {the hard-pressed Bureau of In- ternal Revenue: First employee— “What are you giving your wife for Christmas?” Second employee— “An Oliphant hide bag with shoes {to match.” . .
