Stevenson opened 'his income tax returns for the last 10 years to public inspection and the records showed today that he paid federal taxes of $211,980 on an income of S500.046--most of it earned with gilt-edged investments. The Democratic presidential nominee prepared to go before the voters tonight on a nationwide radio-television appearance in Chi- Part of the speech, which will be carried by NBC-TV and Mutual Radio at 9-30 p. m. c.s.t, was expected to be a discussion of Stevenson's political finances and his cret funds seemed to have put spccia i un to supplement salaries This punch looked like his Sun- deserving state appointees, day swhig, thrown with prayerful intent of shaking up the general Only Stevenson has laid his tax returns on the table. If that is and the voters want it, Eisenhower probably will have to do the same.

And if the general comes through, the feet of Congress will je put to the fire next session Congressmen will not pass any Saw requiring publication of their own income tax returns unless they are terrified and absolutely convinced that the voters will kick the'm out of office if they balk. Whether tax publicity is good or bad is a matter of debate. But there isn't much doubt that Stevenson's income tax move was smart politics. The governor is a counterpuncher, willing and able to belt himself out of a corner in which the overall ruckus about se- and his running mate, Nixon. The Nixon expense account exposure backfired somewhat on the Democrats and on Stevenson, personally.

A realistic political appraisal of Stevenson's publication of his own income tax returns makes it a pressing request to Nixon that he tell more Mora about his income and outgo, that is. It was more than a hint to Eisenhower to lay his income returns before the public, including 1948, when he received some or all a flat sum for the book, "Crusade in Europe." Doubleday and Co. published 'Crusade in Europe" Nov. 22, 1948, at $5 a copy. Estimates of the price paid Eisenhower have run to $1,000,000, which probably is far too high.

Perhaps $500,000 to $700,000 would be closer to it. Doubleday and Co. told the United Press that and four others know the price--and they aren't telling. Not yet. anyway.

Stevenson hasn't'been doing too badly 1 $29,101 gross income in 1942 and a steady rise, the same being the mark of industry, generally sound investments, and, of late about $15,000 a year in salary and emoluments accruing to any governor of Illinois He reported $69,273 gross 1951 income. II Eisenhower publishes his financial record, it will show $19,541 salary and allowances as a five star general--a job he resigned recently to go for the presiden- cv. But Columbia University isn't saying what Eisenhower got as active president nor while on leave. He's been on Jcove since returning to active military command of NATO in Europe. The tax returns released Sunday showed that the Illinois governor had a net income of $288.066 after taxes during the period from 1942 through 1951.

Donations to 1PR Stevenson's earnings from solid industrials and other gilt-edged stocks far overshadowed his governor's salary of $12,000.
