Tax Bureau Reforms.

A second assistant will be the man through whom the 25 district commissioners report direct to the head of the bureau in Washington. A third assistant will be head man for the paper work. Salaries of the top 99 men in the rejuvenated bureau will range from $12,000 to $14,800.

Not enough to get rich on. Not so little that a man will be tempted to take money from the outside to get along. Taxes, themselves, are high. It's hard to get them paid. But the tax collecting business in general is looking up.

We can feel good about it. tastes, as viewed from the standpoint of the publisher, the second to tracing changes in humor. The speaker, who ended on a serious note, began by getting in a deft bit of friendly propaganda on behalf of the candidacy of Gen. Eisenhower, explaining that both he and Col. owler were naturally biased as both were Columbia men.

"Gen. Eisenhower is first a humanitarian, then a gentleman and a scholar, a military man," he remarked. "To elect him will take a lot of doing, a great independent vote, as there art more registered Democrats than Republicans. We need someone brand new like him." Turning to books, he traced trends from the war books that came out of World War II; novels dealing with war neuroses, drink and inanity such as "Lost Weekend" and "The Snake historical novels, with emphasis on sex such as "Forever to the vogue for nostalgic, homey, family types of stories. "The four months," he pointed out, "has witnessed an amazing thing, the four best sellers in both fiction and non-fiction deal with the same subject, the sea 'The Caine 'The Cruel 'The Sea Around and He ended the talk on books by discussing current interest in books on world conditions and the difficulties of magazine publishers, in face of rising costs.

America's top humorists of CO years ago are hardly known today, Mr. Cerf said, listing them as Al-tcmus Ward, Bill Nye and Peter Finlay Dunne, while Mark Twain is now known as novelist rather than a humorist. Will Rogers was cited as this country's greatest example of native wit. Mr. Cerf then turned to the coming of the era of the wisecrack or "humor by insult," which he says still persists on the radio, though books and pictures have somewhat gotten a vay from it.

He concluded by telling a Lincoln anecdote to Illustrate the tendency towards homey, human type of humor, and added some stories to illustrate the hardy perennials: The pun, the shaggy-dog story, and the bright sayings of children. This was the final lecture of the Four Arts season. Uphill Work and the Russians, of all A big step has been taken toward cleaning out corruption in the Internal Revenue Bureau, and the country can feel good about it. The plan, now in effect after recent Senate approval, is designed to eliminate the evils of political patronage from the bureau. The 64 collectors of Internal Revenue, appointed by the political party in power, now go under Civil Service.

That puts all 57,000 persons in the bureau under Civil Service, with the single exception of the commissioner. He remains a presidential appointee. As one Senator put it, this should place the Bureau out of reach of "the boys in the back room." Senator Monroney, a champion of the plan, said it "takes out the last big island of political influence left in the government." Heretofore, appointments of the 64 collectors have theoretically been strictly political plums. Actually there were a lot of lemons. Of the 64 collectors who served during the last year or so, 17 were chosen from and served under Civil Service.

None of them has been sucked into the current wave of scandalsin the bureau. Of the remaining 47 political appointees, eight were either fired or forced to resign. Under the new plan, the collectors are replaced by not more than 25 district commissioners and 70 deputy district commissioners. There will be at least one deputy to each state. The top man the commissioner in Washington, will have three assistants.

One will be an inspector charged with the job of spotting and wiping out any corruption to be engaged in a race to get up to the top of the mountain first. It Mt.

THE MERRY GO Senatorial colleagues figure there is more than meets the eye behind the $10,000 transaction between Sen, Brewster of Maine and Henry Grunewald, undercover lobbyist, wire-tap expert, and tax fixer. The Senator from Maine ap peared briefly before the King sub- committee last week and 1 tesHfied he had paid Grunewald $10,000 in order to cover up two $5,000 contributions given to the primary campaigns of Sens. Nixon of California and Young of North Dakota.

Grunewald, Brewster claimed, had served as the conduit to pass the money on to their campaigns. However, Sens.

In 1946-47, Brewster was pushing his instrumenr bi' abolish competition between different US airlines overseas, putting all of them in the hands of one company instead.

Brewster, whose business was to sell out to Pan American, Hughes refused. Strange Investigation But Brewster was also chairman in 1947 of the powerful Senate Investigating Commitee, formerly under Sen. Harry Truman. And with the Republicans controlling Congress in 1947, Brewster began a probe of Howard Hughes. Many people felt that it had all the earmarks of a blackmail probe to force Hughes to do business with Pan American Airways.

At about this time, Brewster also Hughes attorneys at a Washington hotel. Most of this came out during the wire-tap investigation by the Senate District of Columbia Committee in the summer of 1950. This was where Grunewald was voted a contempt citation for refusing to answer questions, and where jail.

An editorial entitled "The Revolutionary Policy Committee and the Communist," said "The RPC has been afcked frequently to explain the difference between its program and that of various well known Communist groups and parties in the United States. We are glad to claim to be as Communistic as the Communist manifesto, the great heritage of the Communist and genuine Socialist movements.

This is merely a bargaining point, since Germans have been evicted and jthe area Sovietizcd under the satellite government. On the mater of elections, thc Allies and Russia ran into an impasse aside from the peace conference business. The Allies want any election to be supervised by the United Nations. Russia sticks to her old contention that everything concerning Germany must be a four-power action.

They barred a UN survey of their zone to investigate the possibilities of free elections. One thing to be remembered in all this is that neither side is lay ing its case entirely on the table. The whole business is a part of the constant maneuvering incidental to a situation in which war between them is a constant danger if not an immediate prospect. Both are determined, if anything like that happens, to have Germany, or as much of Germany as possible, on their side. SIX PRISON ERS" "FLEE ARSENAL DURING STORM HUNTSVILLE, March 25 UP) Redstone arsenal officials revealed today that six prisoners rsrnpcd from the post guardhouse during a tornado.

The six Army privates fled from the arsenal jail about 9 p.m. during a power blackout In the wake of the Saturday storm. All six were arrested within 12 hours after an alarm was circulated to state, county and city police. Post officers said the men were trans ferred to Fort McClellan near An- nlstou, after their recapture. lot Of Hogwash' TALLAHASSEE, March 25 (UP) Gov.

Fuller Warren tonight labeled as "a lot of campaign hog. wash" a statement by candidate for governor Alto Adams that about 60 boards and commissions are under control of the governor. Warren did not use Adams' name in his monthly statewide radio broadcast, but he left little doubt as to whom he referred. Warren said only one state board, the Beverage Department, Is under control of the governor. "The members and directors of all other state boards and commissions, who hold commission for two to four years, are not under the control of the governor," he said.

"The laws of Florida make them independent officials. They are under no control but their oath of office and their sense of duty." In another slap at Adams, Warren said: "This same curious candidate has been shouting for the abolition of the State Road Department as now constituted. Nearly everybody in Florida knows tne present road board has built more roads and bridges than were ever built before in Florida by any state Adams spoke earlier in a statewide broadcast from Panama City, charging that the state government is a "sprawling monstrous bureaucracy, ridden with political appointees, paper-shufflers and boon-dogglers." He called for a sweeping reorganization In government, disclosing that Florida's tax burden has gone up 53 per cent in the past two years, while the state payroll has more than tripled in the past five years. He said the Road Department has added nearly 1,700 employes since 1946, most of them attorneys, inspectors and administrators. HOLLYWOOD, March 25 (API-Dan said tonight that if he was elected Governor he would take steps to correct Florida's road a traffic problems.

"We must widen and expand our arterial highway system," the candidate from Fort Pierce said. "It's a matter of self-preservation for-us, and a good investment for all Florida." McCarty climaxed a series of speaking engagements in Broward County with an outdoor rally. He said he was opposed to any increase in State taxes, and that a high level of services could be provided by efficiency in administration. "Most revenue comes from the consumer level," he said, "and it is certain to increase with the State's growth in population." Insurance Sales Congress Slated Howard A.

The justices unanimously reversed a Dade County circuit court decree granting Edward R. Lynch, one-time supervisor for the State Beverage Department, back salary from June, 1949, until the circuit court ruled.

Lynch was discharged by Lewis Schott, then state beverage director, after having worked nearly three months for the department. He claimed he was appointed to the $200 a month job by Gov.

North And South Wage 'Word War' WASHINGTON, March 25 (UP) Northern and Southern textile makers fought, a war of words today over whether the government should give more defense contracts to Northern mills to cut unemployment.

The Southerners said no, such action would encourage corruption in government and would do little good for the Northern mills. The Northerners insisted the switch is necessary lest the country lose the skills of thousands of textile workers. The battle was fought before a special three-man panel set up by Defense Mobilizer Charles E. Wil son. The government has already decided to funnel some defense con tracts into areas of high unemploy ment even though the work can be done cheaper elsewhere.

It is now deciding whether to do this in the textile, apparel and shoe industries.

They are an exercise in close-in air support, and a full dress amphibious landing in regimental strength by units of the 2nd Marine Division. Penguin Egg Set To Hatch JACKSON, March 25.

(UP) The only penguin egg in existence in North America was believed today to be about ready to hatch. Leonard Neill, a Columbus, circusman, said prospects were good for what he believes the only penguin egg on the continent. He calculated the hatching time probably will come Thursday night. The egg is one of two laid last month while Neill's four bird managerie was being shown at Port Gibson, Miss. The other egg was broken when the four penguins began fighting Sunday, Neill said.

The mishap increased Neill's hope that his pair of penguins named Pam and Wimpy can produce what he believes would be the only penguin hatched in this continent. He said the broken egg contained a healthy chick. The birds are kept in a refrigerated truck in which Neill hauls his managerie while on tour. The fight occurred in the truck while Neill was visiting Laurel, Miss. The mother penguin has continued to nest with the other egg, Neill said.

That gave him hope. Wimpy gave him hope, too, Neill said. "He's already pacing up and down in front of the nest," said the circusman. Series Of Lenten Talks Planned By Dr. S.

Lindsay, pastor of the Royal Poinciana Chapel, will conduct a series of Lenten talks at the While Temple Christian Church in West Palm Beach, Mar 31 through April 4 at 10 am under auspices of the Church Women.

Davis US: High Commissioner, and toured the ruined cities of Germany, both in the Allied zone and the Russian zone in Berlin, when he had an opportunity to get acquainted with men who are laying the foundations for a new Germany.

Dr. Lindsay says that Berlin is a ruined city, 40 percent of it has been destroyed and the question now is is it worthwhile re-building? He believes that a strong Germany and a strong Japan are the best way to keep Russia in her place. He believes that Russia will be a problem until af strong Germany and Japan rises from the ashes of defeat.

(Copyright, 1952, By The Bell Syndicate, Inc.) FAIR ENOUGH Continuing my revelations of the political complexion of Irving Union, with the active support of the State Department, I shall quote today from a publication called the Revolutionary Socialist, "a quarterly devoted Marxian Socialism," for November, 1934. This magazine contains an article by Mr.

Brown. I have alreay quoted from this piece which is inconceivably muddy but clarified for our purposes by other matter in the same issue. Brown was described as "an in structor in workers' education uarmem worners union ana es- pecially active in the (Socialist) The 'dau fhers: He is a member of the National Executive Committee of the Revolutionary Policy Committee" of the Socialist Party. Brown's "project" is a campaign to substitute Marxian Socialism for the present indistinct political nature of Western Europe. "Time," the little jerked-English budget of misinformation published by China-boy Luce for inscrutable political ends, has represented Brown and his purposes in Europe as not merely harmless but laudable from the standpoint of Americans.

I quote now from an editorial called "The Road To Power." "The aim of Socialism is to establish a workers' republic," it says. "In the achievement of this aim it is necessary to acquire possession of the state power so as to transform capitalist society into Socialist Society by the dictatorship of the proletariat. The history' of capitalism leaves no room for illusions regarding the behavior of the capitalist class when it is fighting for its life against the advancing workers. The responsibility for the destruction of the civil liberties of the bourgeois democratic state lies clearly and solely at the duor of the ruling! capitalist state. That class has shown that when the decisive hour approaches, the conflict between the classes assumes a violent character.

We make no fetish of legality. The law in a bourgeois democracy is largely the law of property rights; laid down by those who have 'rights' because they are own ers. No institution or instrument set up by the capitalist class can be depended on to establish the workers' republic. Therefore the working class state will be an entirely new type of state based on workers''councils, historically suited to serve as the organs of liberation. "Workers' councils, organized in direct response to a growing revolutionary situation shall constitute the basic unit by which the working class can carry throug'h an armed insurrection.

Once Socialists are in possession of the state machinery by the mandate of the workers, their task is to arm the workers against all possibility of a counterrevolutionary resistance." Under "war," the same "revolutionary socialist review" said this: "Permanent peace can come for the workers only after capitalism has been destroyed.

ROBERTS, JR. Associated Press News Analyst One of the great issues between the Allies and Soviet Russia in Germany is whether Western Europe is to remain free to establish itself as a community rather than group of competing states. The Allied note replying to Rus sia suggestion for a peace con ference takes this into account. Russia has suggested a newly na tionalized Germany. She has upset her Communist followers through out Europe by proposing to let Ger many have a national army.

She would, however, bind this army to neutrality between Germany former enemies. This would almost surely nullify the effort, led by France and supported, not always with full agree ment among his constituents, by Western German Chancellor Ade nauer, to establish a cooperative if not yet federated Europe. France, of course, would reject out of hand any peace treaty which allowed Germany to have an army, The Russians know that, and mere injected the idea to stir up the Germans against the international army to which Germany is now expected to contribute. That was the real mollve behind the Russian proposal at this time-not to get a peace treaty on many, but to interfere with Ali.od planning. The Allies have come right bark, saying no deal can be matle except with a central German government established through free elertions the Russian zone and Berlin as well as in the West.

The Russians are also reminded that the Allies never agreed to Polish occupation of Eastern Ger Post, Times and Sunday 31.20 15.60 7.80 .60 1 Year 6 Months 3 Months 1 Week Single Copy MAIL Payable In Post, Timet and Snndar 31.20 15.60 1 Year 6 Months 3 Months 1 Month 7.80 2.60 RrXBAT One Year $7.80 Circulation Dept. 3-7530.
