Further proof of this awakening is found in the action of the Baltimore school board in upholding its superintendent in dismissing Mrs. Regina Frankfeld as a teacher because she is a Communist Mrs. Frankfeld, whose husband Philip is head of the Maryland-District of Columbia Communist party, told the board after the decision: "I am a member of the Commifh-ist party.

Any of the other eastern European leaders, he remarked tartly, would coliapse at the lightest touch of Russian pressure. No douot he had in mind the short-lived defiance and hasty recantation of such satellite leaders as Poland's Gomulka.

As for himself, he asserted, like all Yugoslavs he was a proud man and his pride and that of his countrymen had been deeply wounded by the public Cominform condemnation of June 28. If he had bowed his head, he would have lost the support of his. proud and independent people As it was, except for an insignificant few, his people were solidly behind him. Moreover, this support could not Fewer Taxes, Not More Speaking before the Illinois State Chamber of Commerce, the city manager of Kansas City said that new types of taxes are needed in order to permit government to meet the problem posed by inflation. He suggested that such things as occupational license taxes, amusement taxes, sales taxes, consumption taxes, and payroll deduction taxes would be types that would "readily adjust themselves to changing economic conditions." There can be no argument with the Kansas City manager that there is a problem.

The fact there for anyone to see, if he will only take an interest In his government. The fact is that costs of government have gone up with the rest of the inflationary spiral but that the existing tax structure is so designed that it does not keep pace automaticaliy. Nevertheless, granting the existence of the problem, the Kansas City manager's proposal for solving it is completely off-base. What the governmental activities of the United States need what the people of the United States need is not more types of taxes. It is fewer taxes, more rationally conceived.

The United States citizen pays too many taxes now. Many of them he pays without being aware of i which is certainly not a healthy situation. It makes taxing the man easier, but a citizen should be aware of supporting his government. Tax reform complete tax reform, from the bottom to the top of the structure is. long overdue.

It should be undertaken as soon as possible, wherever possible. The result should be a very simple tax system with a minimum of different taxes, all of them out in the open and not hidden and the inflation and deflation problem should be dealt with by raising or lowering the tax rate, the straightforward and honest way. he could not live together with the Wesi.

Both Hiss- snd Remington had been accused of Communists.

Hiss and Remington challenged their accusers to come outside and sar that again. Chambers and Mrs.

Bentiey did, both of them repeating their charges over the radio. First to sue, as he had promised to do, was Hiss, who filed a $50,000 suit against Chambers for making what he called "untrue, false, and defamatory" statements. Now Remington has filed suit for $100,000 damages against Mrs. Bentiey, the National Broadcasting Co. and the General Foods sponsor of the program' on which Mrs.

Bentiey repeated her charges. So now both cases are in the courts, where the American public can expect a fairer presentation of the evidence than it gets before the House un-American activities committee. Now It will be up to Chambers and Mrs. Bentiey to prove the truth of their statements, as indeed they should be able to do before they make accusations that reflect upon the reputation of men in public office. If they cannot prove their charges, they will have to pay the price.

Misunderstood Hollywood David O. Sclznick, who makes a lot of money himself, thinks the public has the poor Hollywood stars figured all wrong. Speaking at a dinner held by the Screen Publicists guild, he said he thought "Hollywood newspaper men should foyn some so't of committee to see that the public is given exact economic information." It seems Mr. Selznick is concerned because he thinks the public has the wrong slant on the money earned by Hollywood stars and executives, too, presumably. He points out that a movie star must draw five million dollars into the box office before he is worth $200,000 a year.

He says Hollywood- salaries wil' go up, rather than down. Well. Mr. Selznick will have quite a job convincing the average American, who is apt to be supporting a family of four on $50 a week or less, that the movie stars and executives are worth hundreds of thousands year. For that matter, he is not likely to meet with -too much enthusiasm for the job from the Hollywood newspaper men he wants to form his committee.

After all. the Hollywood newspaper men do not make hundreds of thousands themselves. Being human, they will have difficulty understanding why the movie stars and executives should. Just Out of Curiosity "The most important scientific discoveries usually originate through scientific exploration to satisfy Americans are practical people, on the whole. They like to make things that have a purpose, engines that not only run but that dnve something.

Millions of them have no patience with the philosopher who is not a public relations counsel, with the artist who does not illustrate a scene, with the scientist who does not know what his goal will be What they fail to realize, those millions is that they can thank dreamers for many ol the comforts they enjoy, that they may be alive today because some man in a laboratory was just idly curious what would happen if he did such-and-such. But that is the truth. Take the word of Dr Detlev W. Bronk, president-elect of Johns Hopkins university. He is the man who said: "The most important scientific discoveries usually originate through scientific exploration to satisfy curiosity." there are practical men who believe in idle curiosity.

They know that it often produces the most practical of results. Fortunately, there are thousands cf that type also in the United States.

Referring, I suppose, to the vaporings of Henry Wallace, he says that in spite of all disillusionment in co-operating with the Soviets, "We have been told by some Americans that we could settle our -differences with the Soviets if only we would sit down around the conference table and enter into open-minded negotiation." Like Mr.

Wallace, with whom he no doubt thinks he altogether disagrees. Mr. Saltzman assumes that the only purpose of a negotiated settlement would be an agreement to co-operate in administering Germany. Mr. Wallace thinks we could co-operate: Mr.

Saltzman, quite rightly, has learned that we cannot. But it is not only quite conceivable, indeed it is most likely, that when serious negotiations take place the subject matter will not be another agreement to co-operate, another paper arrangement to have Marshal Sokolovsky arid General Clay and General Robertson govern Germany together, another formula by which the Four Powers promise to continue to stay in Germany and to agree on how to run it.

Well, of course, he should not have said "whom" in that particular construction which calls for the nominative "who." The correct use of "who" and "whom" will be much easier to understand if we avoid the obscurity of the grammatical language with which the textbooks are wont to confound us Think of the words in this way: "who" Is the acting pronoun; "whom" is acted upon. For example: Acting: Who will be the next contestant? Who is speaking, please? He is the man who spoke to me.
