Is Our Federal Government Using The Income Tax As Means To Punish Critics?
While our federal government poses as a benevolent and kindly master-parent, looking out for pur needs and caring for our ailments, we must, of course, bow humbly before .its commands if we are to continue to receive its blessings. When \YV are NOT properly humble, the claws of power politics are apt to appear. To many this would seem to be the situation when the federal government tried to smear Gov. Orval Faubus of Arkansas with an alleged income tax evasion, running into five figures. The government showed its claws clearly . . . perhaps too clearly.- The charged, more than likely, will prove a boomerang. No matter what one's personal opinion of Governor Faubusand there are those who think he has gone too far, or has used the wrong tacticsthe government's action in this income tax -case has l.elped Mr. F-aubus-get off of any public opinion hook from which he might have been dangling. The Governor charges that the government is using the Internal Revenue Service to punish him for his stand against integration. , This may, or may not, be true. Yet some of the items upon which the government said Governor Faubus was liable for income taxsuch as rent on the governor's mansion and use of a state car are so ridiculous as to enable the Governor to build up a good case. To have a representative of the Internal Revenue Service admit to a mistake and say that "somebody goofed" is hardly an acceptable explanation of the situation. The government, by its action, has created a lot of sympathy for Governor Faubus. The American people dislike the income tax intensely ... and they dislike even more its being used as a means of punishment; or of forcing (blackmailing might be another term) an individual to do what the federal government wants him to. Maybe the government didn't have this in mind ... but try to get anybody to believe it! The .government used the same kind of pressure tactics in trying to gag the private utility companies of the nation. These private utilities, like millions of other Americans, feel that the government is unfair in using tax dollars of ALL citizens to create, and build up, huge socialistic government monopoliessuch, as the Tennessee Valley Authorityto compete with private power companies. These private utility concerns spent money in advertising to tell THEIR side of the story to the people. This advertising must have been effective ... in any event, the government had the Internal Revenue Service rule that the private utilities could NOT charge off such advertising expenditures as a legitimate business expense. In other words, Big Government is going to GET BIGGER . . . and you better lay off criticizing, if you don't want to get hurt! The American people, generally, respect the nation's laws. But they have little respect for the income tax law. They feel it has been crammed down their throatsas have many other things and they don't like it. The people have to do all the work, and pay the tax, too. The people don't understand the complex income tax law . . . for that matter, who does! And the average American approaches the income tax law with the same lack of respect he had for the old prohibition law. The average citizen who runs afoul of the income tax laws may find a considerate agent of the IRS who tries to help him outit does happenbut more often it is a form letter, slapping on a penalty . . . and that's that! In view of such actions, these same average Americans find it difficult to understand how, on the other hand, a lowdown hoodlum like Mickey Cohen can continue to roam the streets of Los Angeles, living on a $20,000 a year scale, with a delinquent income tax claim of around a MILLION dollars hanging over him! And there have been other cases of settlements of huge income tax claims which make, people wonder as to how equitably the income tax laws are applied 1 It may not be possible to make the federal income tax any more unpopular than it is ... but, with the Faubus case, the private utilities case, the Cohen case, and others, the government seems to be making a brave attempt to do just that.

WASHINGTON REPORT
Y FULTON LEWIS JR.

BUSINESS MIRROR
By SAM DAWSON

WASHINGTON - Among the most impressive attributes of his late Holiness, Pope Pius XII was the reverence and sincere affection that he commanded on the part of non-Catholics and even non-Christians, the world over. Ex-President Harry Truman, a Protestant, called him the greatest statesman the Vatican h a s known in 200 years. There are mil' lions who would agree or would go even further. And among my close friends who had private audiences with this great man during visits to Rome are Jews, Moslems, Buddhists, Presbyterians, and virtually every other denomination of religion. I, raised an Episcopalian, regret the fact that I nSver had the opportunity of such an audience, because I had t deep admiration and affection for the man. He was mountain of unswerving strength against Communism and all forms of tyranny hot only when it became popular to be so, but when other men who purported to be leaders wert preaching otherwise. But along with this great strength there was a simple human warmth that e x u d e d through his personality on the one occasion I was able to attend one of his public audiences.

It was a July day in 1951 when Mra. Lewis, our two children and I motored up the winding road from Rome, through the typical walled towns of the volcanic-erater-lake region to the summer residence, Castel Gandolfo, where life ebbed out of his frail shell early last Wednesday. It too Is a walled town, perched atop its own little mountain, and from the main highway, it is necessary to. walk up panting steps on cobblestone, to a picturesque village plaza, shaded by p l a n e trees, similar to our American sycamores, and edged with awninged peddlar stands. They did a thriving business L. religious medals and objects of every kind, and lace head-coverings for ladies who had failed to bring hats. At the end'of the Plaza is the castle itself, with its massive wooden gates inside of which was a huge courtyard, nearly filled with pilgrims from all over the world. There were monks and nuns of endless orders, but mostly the crowd was of people like ourselves. I remember thinking at the time that many of them, undoubtedly, were also non-Catholics. His Holiness appeared on a platform at one end, and was presented with a new white skullcap, which he put on in place of

the one he was wearing, and de livered several minutes of thanks to the black-robed sisters who had brought it to himin their own German language. To a Spanish group, he spoke Spanish. To a French group, French. And U his USE of those languages was as perfect as his use of English, he was indeed an able linguist. All told, in the course of about 40 minutes that afternoon, he spoke in s e v e n languages, ever smiling, ever gentie, ever gracious. His mannerisms were of Italy; instead of waving to the l i t t l e groups who acclaimed him from below, he lifted his hands, palms to him, and moved his fingers in a sort of beckoning manner, like a radio or television director inviting applause from the studio audience. The crowd loved it, and there was a certain benign sedation about the whole experience that imparted a feeling of tranquil satisfaction, almost as though he had hypnotic powers. Perhaps he had. Perhaps that Is why the Communist leaders who tried to replace his God with themselves were so afraid of him, even in death, that they jammed the radio waves to prevent the people from learning of his pass' ing. They only proved the power of his faith.

NEW YORK (AF)The bubbling stock market delights the bulls and especially the brokers. The bulls see chances for financial ain. The brokers pocket a presjnt gainthe commissions on the shares they buy and sell for traders. Talk of fat bonus payments to jrokerage house employes at Christmas time grows. But for all the excitement in Wall Street, most stockholders seem to be just leaving their shares in a strong box. They may check the newspapers each day o see if they have a paper profit or a paper loss. For the most part, lowever, they are just sitting tight. The public may be in there, buying and selling right along with professional traders, but if so it's only a small part of the public. One reason given is that if they sold stocks which have increased in market value this year as the popular indexes climbed to new lighs, they would have a capital gain on which to pay taxes. Another is that they would have cash to be invested elsewhere and if they buy other stock they will have to pay its new record price, too.
Friday 4,610,000 shares changed hands on the New York Stock Exchange. This was the biggest day's volume since December 31 when 5,070,000 were bought and sold. But for ah1 that; the 4,610,000 is only a smidgeon of the number hat could have been sold. The exchange lists 4,855,096,764 shares available for trading. The exchange's magazine points out today that in the first eight months of this year the turnover ratiothe volume actually sold as against the total that could have jeenis 13 per cent, only slighty more than in much quieter 1957. And it is practically nothing at all compared with sprightly L900 when the turnover was 172

per cent of shares then avtBable and they numbered a more modest 59,579,694. In nine of the years sine* World War II the turnover ratio has been higher than this year. Average daily trading volume was higher only in 1955. More shares available for trading have been added each year. The exchange notes that since 1950 the total listed has advanced by 115 per cent. But in 1950 the turnover was 23 per cent. Since 1950 the gross national producttotal output of goods and services has increased 28 per cent, even after adjustment for price changes. If stock trading had grown by the same percentage, the average volume this year would have been more than 5,000,000 shares a day, instead of the eight month average of 2,542,697. ' One result of this slowing down percentagewise in stock trading, brokers say, has been to make a thin market. When demand for some stock spurted, there weren't too many shares available for trading. Some of the big swings in prices have been due to this. In other words, that multitude of stock stached away in strong boxes has acted as a sort of corner in stocks. If more were available for trading, an occasional rush of buying wouldn't send prices swinging so far. SHEFFIELD, England (AP) People stopped and blinked on the sidewalks here when they saw a car apparently being driven by a dog. The car traveled 50 yards, brushed against a bus and ran into a wall. An Alsatian sat behind the wheel. The owner, Robert Griffin, 46, told Magistrates' Court Friday he parked the car and left the dog inside. He added: "he must have seen another dog in the street and jumped, knocking off the brake."

WASHINGTON (AP) If there were a pari-mutuel window at the State Department, the odds would be 50-50 that some agreement will be reached to halt nuclear tests. This is pretty good, considering there is no certainty that the meeting will even be held. The Soviet Union lately has been grumbling about not shooting off as many nuclear test bombs as the United States and Britain. The Soviets started some catch-up shots a couple of weeks ago. Nevertheless, all concerned expect the Soviet Union to show up Oct. 31. The real target of the grumbling, knowledgeable officials are convinced, is a string attached by the United States to its offer to stop tests for at least year. This string is the proviso that some progress must be made during the year in cutting back troop strength and reducing the quantity of guns, tanks, ships and planes. If no progress is made, testing could be resumed. The Soviet Union from the start has been eager to "ban the bomb" on an everybody-trust-everybody basis. But it never has been anxious even to discuss reducing military manpower or limiting conventional weapons. The reason is simple. The Soviet Union lags behind the United States in atomic and hydrogen weaponry. It has far more men under arms and far more nonatomic weapons power. Ban the bomb and, instead of an EastWest military standoff, you have Soviet superiority. Soviet statements, like that of Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko at the United Nations five days ago, seem to be laying the groundwork for a propaganda drive against the conventional cutback proviso. Kremlin propagandists have had field day with the democracies on the test issue. A big puzzler in Washington is: Why did the United States reverse its nuclear test policy? Clever Communist propaganda, playing on sincere desires for an end to the cold war, is a likely answer.

lowever, had long set his jaw against halting atomic tests unless there was an iron-clad agreement to make sure nobody tested on the sly. He offered an impeccably logical formula for controlled stopping of tests, but

it was complicated. The Soviet Union pounded away on its simple theme, "Ban the bomb!" The simple idea caught on, as simple ideas have a way of doing. Neutralists like India, allies like Britain, Republicans like then disarmament adviser Harold E. Stassen, Democrats like Adlai E. Stevensonall began pressuring Dulles for* a trial halt in U.S. tests without strings and even without international agreement. The reversal came Aug. 22. Eisenhower noted experts from both sides of the Iron Curtain had decided at a Geneva meeting thai a controlled, supervised test ban was technically feasible. He announced a U.S. willingness to sus pend tests starting with the Oct 31 diplomatic talks, which take up where the technical experts left off. Top Western diplomats expect the Soviet Union will meet Eisen bower's two conditionsattend the meeting and refrain from touch ing off an atomic blast during the one-year moratorium. They are not so sure what kind of agreement, if any, can be ex pected.
