CURIOUS MORALS
The McCarran * Committee ob
tained much of its information con-
I cerning the Institute of Pacific
i Relations by subpoenaing the files
1 of that body which were va a barn
'in Lee, Massachusetts, owned by
| Edward C. Carter.
I barter is a clever man, in his
I seventies, who has made his way
'in the world of international af
fairs with astounding success since
World War I.
It is admitted by Carter that
the files are authentic. The Seur j
ators then wanted to know whether i
the institue had ever made an in
dependent check to discover if the '
charges that Communists were using
it as a front were autnentic. Car
ter said that they had made such
a check and threw in a lot of
names: President Sproul of the
University of California; Professor
JJoseph P. Chamberlain of Co
lumbia (his niece was then Mrs.
Frederick Vanderbilt Field); Brooks
Emeny. of Cleveland, now president
of the Foreign Policy Association,
and Arthur Deane of Sullivan and
Cromwell; and there were others.
.What did they discover? Well, this
is the colloquy on the subject:
“Mr. Carter. Not an investigation
in the sense of reading 400 booV.
and thousands of letters.
“Senator Ferguson. Do you not
think it would have been proper
for an organization such as this
to make a search to attempt io
see whether or not serious charges
are true, so if there were they,
could clean their own house rather
than to have a congressional com
mittee do it?.,..
“The chairman. The question 'is
susceptible to a yes or no answer,
and you can explain afterwards.,
If you do not care to answer yes;
or no, I think the matter ought to
terminate....
"Senator Ferguson. I. want tp.
know whether or not it wobUdftßxf
a reasonable thing when
are made against an orgaMzaEftnj
as large as this that
acting as a front of communism,
that somebody in there would not
have had an examination, a de
tailed investigation of their own
house after these papers were
seized and whether or not they
did and whether or not they made
a report.
“Mr. Carter. Charges that were
made at v the time of the seizure
were in large part the same charges
that had been made by a New York
businessman. Mr. Alfred Kohl
berg. They were investigated in
view of the officers of the IPR.
They were not substraiUated. The
new charges were so similar, f.->
some cases so identical, that I
Imagine the committee felt there
was no use of going through it
again.
"Senator Ferguson. Was this in
vestigation made after the papers
were found in the office of Amer
asia? Didn't that put an entirely
different complexion on this whole
communist front and this organi
zation being a communist front?
"Mr. Carter. It would have been
an entirely (different?) complex
ion If there had been a proven
charge that the Amerasia passed
on restricted documents to rep
resentives of foreign governments.
“Senator Ferguson. You mean
the fact that they stole the papers
out qf the files of the federal gov
ernment, and used them, the mere
fact they didn’t pass them on to
fqreign governments made a dif
ference?
“Mr. Carter. .1 think it did be
cause I think one would be espion
age or something more serious.
“The chairman. One would be
theft and the other would be trea
son. is that not true?
“Mr. Carter. You are the chair
man.
"Senator Ferguson. Were they
not both serious matters?
“Mr. Carter. Yes.”
This testimony ended on this
note;
“Senator Eastland. How do you
know copies of those documents
were not on to foreign gov
ernments?
“Mr. Carter. A lot of people have
been trying to prove it and it ha*
not been proven.
“Senator Eastland. You Just
testified they were not passed on.

MEN AND MAIDS. AND STUFF
In a soluUan entirely too savage, reversing every forward step this
country has made in its handling ol the problems of youngsters, West
Point proposes the expulsion of »0 cadets for cribbing at exams. Ex
pulsion :rom West Point means that a young man’s lile is wrecked. In
an application for a job, when he sets this down, he’s likely to be a
dead jugeon. In his home town, he's disgraced and his family humiliated.
This Prussian solution or;Moscow tjurg’e is offensive to the Amer
ican spirit ...Exams are so. over-emphasized that youngsters fre
quently will do anything to pass them, but if West Point gave these
kids a flunking mark of "F” or imposed other academy penalties, such
punishment would fit the crime.. .That's the consensus gathered by
this reporter at golf clubs, restaurants and other gathering places over
the weekend.

out that the Navy pays more for
Jeeps to haul sailors than It does

This should please the seamen

The now pays for a stan

of these vehicles, which it hopes
to get a little cheaper. These wUI
set us back *3,089 a copy.
A four-door Cadillac sedan costs,
the Navy *2,750. That Is *338.42
under the price of a Jeep and I
guess this is a cockeyed old world.
If I seem amazed, you should have
looked at the members of the
House Appropriations Committee,
which must put up the money for
the Navy's Jeeps and/or Cadillac*.
They were goggle-eyed.
The statesmen started first ex
amining the price of the Army’s
Jeep, which comes a little cheap
er.
•You’ve got that down at *2,702,"
said Rep. John Taber (R.. N.Y.).
“That seems like a whale of a big
price. That Jeep was supposed to
be a cheap job. What happened.?”
i Col. J. E. Engler, chief of the
Army’s automotive branch, said
the basic price of an Army Jeep
was *2,000. ffe said the $702 was
for spare parts. Furthermore, he
Indicated, the new Jeep isn’t the
car that the World War II model
was. The Army’s made several
concessions in quality to hold the
price down. It used to be
Jeeps had full-floating rear axles;
now the Army settles lor semi
floating axles, which are cheaper.
That’s just an example, the colonel
-said.
The new Jeeps, on the other
hand, are waterproofed and have
a 24-volt electrical system.
“You are waterproofing your
Jeep so it can travel through fair
ly deep water," said Rep. Errett
iP. Scrivner (R., Kan.). “What are
you going to do with the stuff you
carry In It?”
“It is a pemonnel carrier,”
snapped Maj. Gen. E. L. Ford
Chief of Army Ordnance. He meant
that the Jzep carries men who are
equipped with their own water
proofing, namely, skin.
The colonel broke in to .gay that
t the waterproof Jeep wasn’t lntend
, JfUbt. at the bottom of
, rtfceans. It is fixed to keep water
; off the spark plugs when sloshing
across creeks.
I Rep. Scrivner pondered the *3,-
000-plus price of Navy Jeeps. The
colonel said he bought ’em for
; the Navy, all right, but' he was
danged If he knew why they cost
extra. Rep. Robert L. F. Sikes (D„
Fla.) suggested that he check. He
> did. So did the Congressmen.
It developed that the Navy's
\ base price for a Jeep was *2,265.-
i 75, plus $2Ol for the winch. Spare
i parts, bring the current cost to
! $3,083.42. Col Engler said the Navy
told him It needed winches for use
in jungles. A Jeep gets stuck in
one of these green hells and the
; driver merely hitches the cable to
a big tree up front. Then he steps
on the gas and hauls himself out.
The colonel said the Army did
, not use winches on its Jeqps and
. we can only presume that It keeps
, them out of jungles.
; As for the Cadillacs, the lawgiv
' ers didn't mention them. I did a
| little checking on my own. I’m
kind of sorry I did, because what
i a taxpayer doesn’t know doesn’t
; hurt him, except in the pocketbook,

I TAX SALES Public sales of

, occurred at many courthouses in
, | North Carolina Monday. In mom
r | other counties the sales were held
i on the first Monday in June or
> * July. In a few counties the sales
1 will be held on the first Monday In
j September. The statutes require.
!) such sales to be held on the first
’.Monday In one of the five months
' In all counties except Cumberland.
I I The 1939 act leaves It optional
’ with the county commissioners as
{ to date of sale, and an amendment

I’ public sale will be held
-1 j ADVERTISING The law also
; requires public advertising for four
; consecutive weeks of all delinquent
I taxes. In every cqpnty except
; Wayne this advertising must ap
pear in a newspaper if one i* pub
', Ushed in the county; If no news
- paper is published in the county
; the list must be posted at the
' courthouse door and at least one
place in each township. An amend
,' ment to the general act, also adopt-
I ed in 1941. permits the county com
missioners of Wayne to use either
the newspaper v posting method

method lias been used at different
times. Tnis' year the posting plan

' CERTIFICATES Technically.

; What is sold is a tax certificate,
which become* a first lien or mort

’ time after six months from date of
the public sale. Owners of the land
may take up the certificates any
[ time before foreclosure by paying
the amount of the certificate, plus
. interest, advertising and other costs
, of the sale. The procedure for col
lecting delinquent taxes by munlci

scribed for counties, except that

r tain but death and taxes." Some
i one has added that taxes are more
i certain, because they come both
; before and after death. There is
i perhaps no 'moral difference be
tween a tax obligation and other
i debt,' but there is An Important le
gal disttnct&n. In case of ordinary
!. -business transactions the creditor
. must prove that the debtor owes
i the amount sought to be collected.
With respect to taxes, the debtor
. must pay or prove that he doesn’t
; owe the full amount. The citizen
, who is delinquent In tax payments
gets a better break from the county
, and city than he gets from state
and federal governments. State
and federal tax collectors can levy
and collect without publicity—
sometimes without adequate notice
to the alleged debtor. - The county
> and city must give at least four
weeks publicity, and in every coun
ty except Wayne that publicity
must be in newspapers of general
circulation If any are published
within the county where the prop
erty lies upon which the tax has
been levied.
CUSTOM Common practice
makes the “tax sales" a perl unc tor y
formality. It is a rare incident
when at*/ bidder other than the tax
collector shows up for the auction
1 ’sale ot tax certificates. That is due
to a provision of the law that the
taxing unit may, at any time after
the sale, assign the certificate to
any person who pays an amount
“which, if paid by the taxpayer,
would be sumcient to discharge
said lien.” Effect of that pro
vision. combined with another that
the property owner can any time
1 before uate of sale, pay up taxes,
interests and costs and cancel ne
cessity for the sale, means that ac
-1 tual title to real estate seldom pas
-1 ses by virtue of sale of delinquent
tax certificates. There have been in
stances, and there is continuing
possibility, of alert purchasers ac
' qutrlng title -to valuable property
for the amount of past due taxes
and costs.
