Tobey, of New Hamp- exposed trusts, and in large business hire, who recently “Toundations, engaged operations, but escaping taxation under a which relieves organizations year-old provision, and religious from Federal income taxes. The ire of the New Hampshire Sena- tor was aroused recently when he head- sub-committee which examined so-called charitable-trusts, estab- lished by Royal Little, head of the Tex- tron Company. The hearings disclosed that tax-exempt trusts had played an important part in building Textron from .000,000-a-year to a $125,000,000-a- ear business in only ‘four or five years. In 1947, Royal Little set up three trusts—two endowed with the sum of #500 and one beginning with capital as- ets of $100. No subsequent donations were made but the assets of the three trusts are now estimated to exceed $6,- 90,000. This increase in resources came about through income-tax exemptions and through the fact that state laws were not pplieable to the investment of the funds held in trust. Senator Tobey, taking a very critical ttitude toward the trusts, said in October that one of the trusts put out $135,000 to VAY three trustees’ expenses and, at the Ae time, distributed only $75,000 to the leneficiaries. No wonder the Senator asks, *tethat a charity trust?” Incidentally, one of the $15,000-a-year “trustees” is Sena- Howard McGrath, Truman leader in Senate, fort oharitable ed a syme Another conspicuous example is fur- vished by New York University, which has hud friends acquire four different busi- rprises since 1945.

We call attention to the facts in con- nection with these cases because they eem to represent a’ method of avoiding taxation that permits some enterprises to compete with privately-owned industries ota great disa@vantage, In addition, the practice, if it beeomes widespread, will mean the loss of tremendous sums to the Federal Government and the consequent hifting of the burden of taxation to the shoulders of individuals. pora - ~ ; * «» +» Even those governments which exist “fr"the benefit ofthe governed are not ex- -.gected to rob Peter to give to Paul, THE BOOT AND THE SLAP" er a Political writers, in turning out their daily stint, sometimes start rumors and when they gather sufficient force to set the people to thinking, write articles to deny rumors.

Then, using .arm leverage, his arm, I hurled him in a flying arc that ended up with him flat on his back on the floor. Gordon Parrish was tough. though. Considerably tougher than I would have believed. The average man would have had barely a drop of air left in his lungs, and most certainly he would have had a broken arm, broken at the wrist. But he had air, and he still had two arms to use. He came up like a rubber ball and charged head first. let him charge. A little bit. ‘hen I moved in between his out- flung hands and let him have one. No, not to the jaw. I cracked my fist to the front of his neck; to the Adam’s apple. And practically at the same time I brought. my deft down on the back of his neck. Right at the hairline to be exact. Sure, his charging body hurtled full force against me, and I am‘ not constructed along immovable brick wall lines. I went flying over backwards, but the sofa was there, soI actually sat down hard, But there was no sofa for Par- rish, There was only the floor. He hit it flat on his face, half rolled yes and clawed frantically at his neck. I got a handful of his jacket and shirt with my left hand, hoisted him up a foot or so off the floor, and then smashed his potato-shaped nose with my right, letting go my hold as I did so. I had long ago counted six lumps on my head, so I went through that routine six times. And each time I hit him in a different place. Believe me, he was twice as homely when the seventh time I hoisted him all the way up and flung him back onto the sofa.

He moved his head a little to indicate a big padded chafr in the corner. “Now the sixty-four dollar question,” I said. “Just what were you doing, or did you hope to do, in here?” I thought I knew, or at least could make a close guess. I wanted to hear ‘it from his lips, though. However, I: didn’t. didn’t because at that exact in- stant I -heard a key. being fitted into the apartment front door lock. Parrish heard it too. He stiffened_ up a little. By then, though, I was moving fast. I went over to him and brought my gun barrel down across his head. He folded, and rolled off the sofa onto the floor. I gave him a shove with my foot to a position where he wouldn’t be seen at once from the foyer. Then, _ holstering my gun, I walked quickly to the foyer, along the wall against which the door would open. I reached it just in time to slide out of sight as the door opened.

Freer Trade A Congress.” TRADE WAR OVER RECORDS The sixteen million owners of record- playing machines will find themselves in- volved in what is described asa “trade war” between the two largest makers of records. This is an unfortunate result of the de- velopment of new long-playing discs. Two companies, both ready to put their new, unbreakable records on the market, have adopted different time-tables, with the result that one record revolves forty- five times a minute, another thirty-three and one-third times a minute and the con- ventional records revolve seventy-eight times a minute. The net result is that the two new- ; type records cannot 'be used on * competing | phonographs and neither can be played on conventional machines without additional mechanism. Both- companies have an: nounced that the new systems are’ avail- able to other manufacturers ‘without cost. However, the owners of standard record- players will not take lightly to the neces- sity of buying three machines in play three different types of.records. Of course, the manufacturers can sug- gest that the public can just do without playing the new records. If they don’t look out, this is just what the publie will do. in the. original agreement. trade agreement in history. will be seriously hampered.

With most of the world’s gold and tremendously ahead of other nations in productive facilities, the United States is a creditor nation of such vast Proportions that, without its coperation, the trade of the world Even at the present time, the people of this country should order to | not misunderstand the effect of the credits that we establish for nations in the process of economic recovery. What the United States actually does is to enable these nations to secure the products and raw materials of the United States. that we are shipping abroad annually billions of dollars worth of the resources of the United States without receiving, in re- turn, resources of equal value which would tend to prevent the diminution of our total resources. Much the same thing occurs, through the processes of nor- mal trade, when thei United States, or private bankers, fi- nance the purchase of American products and goods. tion that receives the tangible resources gets the real value and we get a credit slip, showing an indebtedness. process continues long enough, our resources would include |. .. nothing but I.0.U.s and our great wealth of natural resources From the standpoint of world peace, there is also much to be said for a freer trade between the nations and peoples of the-globe.

Pointing out that "there can be no sure foundation for eco- nomic peace” unless “nations can sell each other the products of their agriculture, labor and industry,” the President pointed out that the tremendous investments that this nation is making toward world recovery will be largely wasted unless trade re- strictions are generally relaxed.
