Every afternoon, Monday through Friday Reaching For The Moon hasn’t been too long ago that March 15 was just an OWinary day—the Ides of March and little more. Now it is the day that young and old, rich and poor, individuals and corporations turn their pockets inside out to support their gigantic and incredibly extravagant Government. The Federal budget for 1952, as proposed by President Truman, has risen to the unfathomable figure of $85.4 bUlion dollars—three times the total of all U. S. currency in-eirculatibn. If this staggering sum could be stacked up iri silver dollars the shaft of metal would rise 152,935 miles into space. That is two-thirds of the way to the moon. Just one billion dollars would be enough money to buy ail of the common stock of 21 major companies listed on the New Yfcrk Stock Exchange. For instance, you could buy the entire amusement industry in Hollywood, includ ing Columbia, Paramount, Twentieth Century, Republic, Universal, RKO, Warner Brothers, and more than a dozen more. After buying Hollywood you would have enough change left to take'over the Columbia Broadcasting Sys tem, American Broadcasting Company, Radio Corporation of America, and could throw in Admiral, Decda, Emerson, WtdrOla, Zenith, and Philco for good measure. :YesJ even one billion dollars is an altogether fabulous sum. That is why it is beyond comprehension that our Government is planning to spend more than 85 times ttyit amount in a single year, you and the rest of America will pay the bill. ,■ t,, , u All qf. uS. understand the need for' defense expenditures and other necessary functions of Government. What we cannot understand is why we, the people, permit waste, extravagance, and. corruption to bleed our economy to death and to threaten us all with bankruptcy. The only logical way to reduce taxes is to reduce Gov ernmental expenditures. Otherwise we would be getting deeper into deficit spending. Expenditures can and must be reduced by cutting out the frills and waste ... by -reorganizing Government so that they can be operateoLmMßJYfficiently^. *,toQnsis.tin*; upon a tem perate policy toward foreign economic aid. Every letter you send to your Congressman urging econ omy and efficiency in Government is a nudge in the right direction. An attitude of indifference and submission to the staggering burdens of taxation you are now shoulder ing is the surest invitation to higher taxes and a Federal budget which may soon climb all the way to the moon on* your silver dollars.—From Semaphore, Published, by Dur ham and Southern Railroad. , ■ —■ | PAWHUSKA, OKLA., OSAGE COUNTY NEWS: “Secre tory of the Treasury Snyder favors giving the American people ‘a mental rest for a couple of months,’ from think ing about taxes.

LATTIMORE When Owen Lattimore issued his i 17,500-word diatribe against Con . gress and the world, many news . . papers published huge parts of it. Senator McCarran’s reply, to which all the members of his committee subscribed, was, in my judgment, insufficiently noted. It would seem that Senator Mc- Carran’s formal charges, part of i the record of the Senate Internal ■ Security Subcommittee, places up ' on the Attorney General the obU ’ gation to examine the record and ' to Initiate actions under the law.. Senator McCarran said: ’ “ the committee was con : fronted with an initial fusillade of ' invective, and a consistently evat i sive, contentious, and belligerent , attitude. i “Suggestions have been made that the committee should seek to discipline- Mr. Lattimore for his contumacious and contemptuous conduct. Clearly, Mr. Lattimore did, on many occasions, stand in con tempt of the committee ” As regards Lattimore’s memory. Senator McCarran stated: "Mr. Lattimore has testified tc having a type of memoft with which the committee is quite familiar With respect to some mat ters, he has demonstrated that hie memory is extremely good. But he has testified that his memory was unreliable with respect to mat ters which ordinary men might be expected to remember most clearly. Very few men forget about their visits to the PfeWdeht ot the , Un ited States, if the number a t such visits is small. But Mr. Lattikiore, who said he saw President Tru man just once, wanted this com mittee to believe he had forgotten the incident when he testified be fore the Tydings Committee with respect to his influence on Foreign Policy. ‘‘Mr. Lattimore also has testified before tftgk&Spmmittee that . all during that prior Senate inveatiga* l tion he forgot the fact that he had a desk in the' State Department Building for ‘four, five or six’ months during the last war. “The precise extent to which Mr. Lattimore gave untruthful testi mony before this committee will never be determined. Human lim itations will prevent us from ever attaining the complete knowledge of all his activities which would make it possible to assess each statement he has made and to catalogue fully whatever, untruths he may have uttered. That he has. uttered untruths stands clear on the record " Senator McCarran then pro ceeded-to report in detail a number of untruths which appear in the testimony. As I am now engaged in reading the whole 'of the trans cript of this hearing, r seem to have found some that Senator Mc- Carran missed contradictions, tricks of memory, etc. Os course, none of us can be sure of memories, but the subject matter with which the committee concerns itself re lates directly to the fields in which Lattimore Is a reputed expert. In such fields, it is expected that his memory will serve. One interesting phase of the Lat timore testimony is his relation ship to American policy. He denies that he has Influenced the United States policy In the Far East. Yet, his testimony, as Senator McCarran states, shows that he exercised a very potent influenoe. This Is the Senator’s statement: \ . . “ Mr. Lattimore’s testimony is significant with respect to the facts. He testified that he wrote a letter to the President of' the United States, In 1945. making cer tain statements with regard to con ditionvbi the Far East, and urging a review of United States Foreign Policy with respect to the Far Bast, from which review then top officials of the State Department should' be excluded.

WASHINGTON. "How to get i rich while working for the gbvem ; ment” might well be the title of i the testimony given the King tax . fraud subcommittee last week by ■ Joe Nunan, ex-commissioner of In ternal Revenue, the man who once collected the nation's taxes. Only trouble with* NUnan’s sen sational testimony was that It was , given behind closed doors. The public couldn't get the full benefit of the Nunan object lesson in how to make money while working for . the government. However, this column is aMe to - give the public a detailed re post of what happened. Here are the , highlights: i 1. Nunan’s outside law fees and other outside income increased ■ from 513,306 to 577,450 while he was tax commlsjdaner. This was , from 1944 to 1948. 2. Nunan attended a party given by racketeer Frankie Costello at the Copacsbana Night Club, which , Costello owns. Parenthetically, it should be noted that, after he left the government, Nunan turned up working for the night-club owners of New York, of which Costello was one, 3. Nunan threw, a 33,000 cocktail I party lor, Attorney General Mc . Grath and Supreme Court Justice Tom Clark. This was after he had ‘ left the government, and the pur pose of the party was to introduce his law clients to McGrath and Justice Clark. STAR PROSECUTOR Star of the closed hearing was Adrian De Wind, the committee's crack counsel, who hammered at Nunan relentlessly. The ex-tax chief remained cool, however, po litely refused' to answer when questions got too ticklish. “While you were commissioner of Internal Revenue, you continued to have a private law practice, did you not?” demanded De Wind. “That la correct.” acknowledged the suave New Yorker. De Wind then read from Nunan’s tax returns showing that his law business brought in 813,306 in 1944. doubled to 027,000 In 1945, jumped to 567,363 in 1946 and tthally hit 877,450 In 1948 The four years that Nunan served as Internal Revenue Commissioner. “Your income from your law business increased substantially during the time that you were commissioner of Internal revenue, did it not?” observed Congressman Robert Kean, New Jersey Repub lican. ' ■ • “Yes, sir”, agreed Nunan. “Why was that?” asked Mean. “Because I guess we did more business, -!• can’t say why,” shrugged Nunan. “Did yon give, any time to your law firm?” broke in Congressman Carl Curtis, Nebraska Republican. “No, sir, vary ttttte,” Nunan re plied. “Did your firm ever handle any tax work st all?" asked Congrese- n iWr* Jjy I Hk ’ j H Hl J/ 1 l ' I MM . 11 •I. r/r ** ■ / \- ’ M t man John Byrnes, Wisconsin Re - publican. f “Very little,” Nunan replied. “Did not they do tax work while y you were commissioner?” insisted - Byrnes. . e “Yes. sir. They did some tax work,’ ’admitted Nunan. "Old the Income from, that go s into some of these legal fees that e you reported?” Byrnes demanded, t “Under the agreement with the v firm, it wasn’t supposed to, Mr. r Congrdfcsman,” explained Nunan. “Did the only federal praotlce of a the firm consist of tax practice?” t De Wind interrupted, e “That would be, yes, I don’t thin* they had anything with any of 1 the other government agencies.” 1, replied the fortner commissioner, e NUNAN’S OWN TAN RETURNS s The House probers were also critical of the dip hod way Nunan i made out his own tax returns while t he wax tax chief. Udder sharp i questioning from De Wind. Nunan t admitted that he hadn’t bothered t to Itemise his expenses, contri bu tt' tions and other, deductions i through the returns explicitly cal > led for itemized lists. “Dd yon not think that a commls -1 sioner of Internal Revenue [ought 1 Yes,, sin” meekly agreed Nunan. De Wind then explored Nunan’s 5 acquaintance with Racketeer 1 Frankie Costello. ‘T have met him twice, yes, dr,” answered* Nunan. Oil both occa -3 dons, he explained that they had 3 met’ at a New York bar and had t been introduced by mutual friends. i “You have never attended any party or dlnnqr or other affair given l by Mr. Costello?" fired De Wind. “Yes, l did;” Nunan recalled. “I t attended that dinner at the Copa } cabana that was supposed to be 1 given for the Salvation Army.” . “It was while you were cem i misdoner?” pressed De Wind. ’Yes. sk," acknowledged Nunan. e “I Wax invited to this party by, I i think it. Was a man named Jim :. O’Connel.” I He identified' O'Connel 1 as an old t friend In the construction bud -3 ness: Also testified that no other 1 federal officials had attended Cos tello's party.

W love with any desirable member of the opposite mx, so deliberately choose a sweetheart who haa those pleas ant personality traits that will insure a happy marriage. Then you wUl 1 begin to feel more close ly diawn to each other on each subsequent date. Finally, you wUl' he ardently in love. CASE D-316: Larry F., aged 55, is a prominent physician. "Dr. Crane, my wife has been dead for three years,” he informed me at one of our medical conven tions. “I had a very happy married life with her. but have been lonely since her departure, despite the fact I have two grown daughters. “I neqd a good wife to make me happy, but hesitate to show such an interest here in my own city lest I find too many widows on my trail, for I am rather wealthy. “Would you be willing to furnish me the names of three or four women between 35 and 40 who might be suitable fbr me?” SCIENTIFIC CUPID Since Larry was a member of my own profession and a cultured, brilliant man, I thought the mat ter over carefully. Then I discussed It' with Mrs. Crane. We finally selected thqee unmarried women whom we knew personally. After asking them if they would be willing to meet this distinguished scientist, I gave Him their names. Dr. Larry soon came to Chicago fa- a visit with me, and then rou tinely called on all three girls. He finally preferred one of them named Blaine, aged 41, who was an attractive and cultured woman with a good position m the business world. But she debated for a few months whether there “might not be too great an age difference. Finally, however, she really fell in love with him. She had, never been married' be fore, although she had once been engaged when she was in the twen ties. But her sweetheart had died before the wedding date. LOVE IS At HABIT They were ideally happy after Affairs Counselor , - tr ~ FINEST MAN SHE EVER KNEtf; PAID DEVOTED ATTENTION FOR A YEAR, THEN- VANISHED SI LENTLY: WJHY WAS THIS? DEAR MARY HAWORTH: About a year ago I met Jim, the finest man I have ever known, and this is not my opinion alone. He is much respected by men and women who work with hlta. From our first dote we were compatible and en joyed each other’s company. Just reading the papers together was fun. During this year I had an acci dent which confined me to bed for weeks. For months r couldn’t dance or go any place, and In this time Jim was faithful to me. He didn’t date any other girls, sat with me for Hours at a stretfch, fed pie meals and helped me to walk agaift. And never once did I ask him to call, aa I feel a man should be the aggressor, io I know he came because he wanted to. Friends re marked about his affeettonate at tentions and- assumed that we were in love. evidence qf high regard fa- me. But left without a Significant word. He didn't ray be would' see me again.

This wajMfcpught hotojfcto me when I their marriage. Both had the same f? type of racial and' religious back- , ground: They entered Into active social lift and became prominent to the affaire of the church. Mrs. Crane and I visited baok and forth with them on numerous occasions. But Dr. Lary’s married daughters were quite cool and even hostile. They resented the fact that , their father had Married u younger woman and. probably felt that It was an affront to their mother’s i memory. . €» I Actually, however, It was a cred ■ it to their mother’s charming per sonality, for It proved that she had I made marriage so delightful to her r husband that he eagerly 4>ught to ! try it again. Much of the daughters’ hostility i was based on fear that the new i wife would alienate their father's - affections and gain some of his : wealth, for he had amassed a good . ly sum of money during his life : time. C MARRY AGAIN i It.is a good thing for middle aged' people to marry again after they have lost their former mates by death. That is especially true if they wisely select their new mate and make sure they not only are com patible in personality traits, but have much the same religious, so cial. educational and racial back grounds. “Dr. Crane, I’m certainly very#* grateful to you for introducing mc w to Elaine," Dr. Larry told me a few years after their marriage. “She has been my ehief joy during these last few years.” And what 4o you suppose Elaine thinks of her mtirried life? ‘These have been the happiest years of my life,” she told Mrs. Crane. “I never dreamed marriage could be so wonderful.” But it can.
