SHORT MEMORIES A good many capital observers are declaring these days that President Eisenhower's leadership over the members of Congress is faltering and they are going their own way. They say he isn't assertive enough in promoting his program, that he doesn't crack the whip on Capitol Hill, that his steep budget has cost him popular support and that, in any event, he is a "lame duck" who can't run for re-election in 1960. Consequently, they add, the lawmakers are following their traditional course under such circumstances. They are falling into factions and allowing themselves to be pi-essed heavily by local and regional rather than national concerns. It is said, too, that when they climb a platform anywhere in the land Ithey seJdom nowadays bother to mention Mr.

Eisenh()wer's name, having" concluded there is no further political magic in it for them. This could be a risky route to travel. To begin with, the newest public opinion polls show the President's popularity only slightly below recent record high levels. seconmy, tne lawmakers millit' STRANGE OMISSION It is a curious thin.g liiat no mention has been made in any news story I have read of why the stale Senate chose to comei out with a 2 per cent severance tax with no exemptions rather than, say, a ,3 per cent tax with exemptions. Some 40 per cent of all the oil produced in Kansas comes from stripper wells, secondary recovery operations, or marginal production of one sort or another.

Every severance tax advocate I have ever run into has agreed that marginal production should be exempt, that it would be unfair and economically unwise to add taxes to operations already just barely paying their way. Similarly, every severance tax opponent 1 have talked to has cited the marginal production problem as the one big difficulty in the way of figuring out a tax which the industry as a whole could live with. Yet here comes this bill, adding 2 per cent to gross production on top of ad valorem taxes already being paid, and making no exception for even the smallest wells. And so far as I have observed, the question hasn't even been brought up in debate. What goes on? Of course 2 per cent is a relatively modest tax, even on top of ad valorem taxes which studies have shown average around per cent of gross production.

The price of crude now is around $3 a barrel. A 2 per cent tax would be 6c a barrel. The market price went up 25c a barrel just a month or two ago. So if such a tax were added, the operator would still be 19c a barrel better off than he was last year. Maybe this is the answer.

Maybe it was simply decided that it would be better to slap a 2 per cent tax on everybody than to attempt to work out the complicated details of a marginal pro- Beck Sets Record In 'Nothings' By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON a man who tried to make like a clam, Dave Beck made a lot of noise. He ducked behind the Fifth Ainendmenl to keep his mouth shut but insisted on keeping it open the better part of two days. The result: the roundish president of the Teamsters Union talked more and said less than any man in recent memory. But, except for raising questions about what he wouldn't tell. Beck managed tell a Senate investigat ing committee very little.

A witness before such a committee can rightfully use the Fifth Amendment to refuse answers to questions only if he thinks his replies might tend to incriminate him. Did Beck think his answers might tend to incriminate him? "Definitely," he said. OUR BOARDING HOUSE With MAJOR HOPPLE FiSM, BUT DEC OFF AAEiM VOT'ri DER MUBBUB ABOUT PCES- (SpAMD my EM.

Mr, Eisenhower was the only one for whom there was great and widespread enthusiasm.

Those who think this isnthusiasm has now waned do not appear to offer much striking evidence. If they cut themselves adxift from the President, even thoujjh he be a duck," they may be do ing more harm than good to their future political chances. The record indicates that Mr. Eisenhower was not an "asisertive" leader in his first term, in the sense that he bossed Congress around and snapped the whip. Whatever the historians and other detached observers may conclude about his leadership, the fact remains that on the baisis of his record he was re-elected last fall by a margin of 9.500,000 otes.

The fact remains that oil is a tremendously important industry to Kansas and that 40 per cent of it IS so marginal that it wiU have to be abandoned if tax costs are raised too high. And once abandoned, the be lost forever, arid so wiE the jobs.

There ought to be exemptions for this kind of "production, no matter what the rate. If Kansas is going to embrace the severance tax at all, it should at least get off on the right foot, not the wrong one. Dr. Jordan Says Uncommon Inflammation Of Arteries Believed Allergy By Edwin P. Jordan, M.

Written for NEA Service Because the last 50 years has brotight' such remarkable vances in the prevention and treatment of so many diseases, it is often easy to lose sight of the vast number of both common and rare disorders for which scientific medicine has not yet found the answer.

There are reasons for believing that periarteritis nodosa is a kind of allergic disorder. The tissues are probably inflamed as the result of hypersensitivity to bacterial agents or to other substances, including certain drugs.

It may occ but seems to be somewhat more common in the male sex. Periarteritis nodosa isr often a difficult thing to diagnose because the symptoms are so variable. In a good many, there is long- lasting fever. However, unusual symptoms in the abdomen and signs of kidney disease, neuritis, muscular inflammation and other unrelated and peculiar signs often are present and serve to make it difficult to pinpoint the diagnosis or source ot the trouble. Furthermore, there is no simple or single laboratory test which makes the diagnosis difinite.

Beck persisted on making a long statement, the same one over and over, bringing in not only the Fifth Amendment but also the Fourth Amendment dealing with search and seizure, the first three articles of the Constitution which establish the legislative, executive and judicial branches of government, the committee's authority, and the relevancy of the questions it asked. most blanket refusal to cooperate with the committee which is investigating his handling of union funds? Sen. McCIellan (D-Ark), committee chairman, isn't sure and says he will find out. A man cited by Congress for contempt in refusing to answer questions can, if tried and convicted in court, be fined and jailed for a year. Ordinarily a witness using the Fifth Amendment can't be cited for contempt.

But if he tries to choose what question to answer, and what to ignore by using the amendment, he gets on ticklish ground. Beck did not follow his own rule ot no answers 100 per cent. For example: He volunteered the in- his union had authorized a loan to the Fruehaut Trailer oorp. wiiicfi; he said, paid it-back in 14 months. But when comrhittee counsel Robert F.

asked Beck if he himself had ever received money directly or indirectly from Fruehauf, Beck took the Fifth Amendment; Kennedy then asked this Was Beck in: trouble with the iiicome tax people-in 1954 because he had taken $320,000 from the union -in the And had Beck gone to Fruehauf for $200,000 which he turned over to the Beck took the Fifth Amendment. It is a violation of federal the Taft-Hartley Act for an employer to give money to a roii- resentative of any his employes or for such a representative to accept money from such an employer. There is no such charge against Beck now. There is no cluirgc'easl city dams Wednesday, against him by the income tax people. In fact, there is no charge of any kind against him at this moment.

Beck says he'll come out of all this "clean and white." But McCIellan told Beck "evidence has been developed that you have misappropriated funds" from the union. If so, it would not be a violation of any federal law since there is no federal law covering such an offense. If there was such an offense, and it could be proved, the only action which could be taken against Beck would have to come under state law, on some such charge as larceny.
