Doughton Sees
Opposition To
Truman's Plan
WASHINGTON OF) Chairman
Robert L. Doughton of the House
Ways and Means Committee pre
dicted today that President Tru
man’s reform plan for the Internal
Revenue Bureau will run' into
“much opposition” in Congress,
The North Carolina Democrat,
who appointed the subcommittee
which has been exposing nation
wide tax scandals, said “doubts”
whether the reorganization propo
sals will go through.
Sen. Richard B. Russell (O-Ga.)
agreed that Congress will “go stew”
on the President's proposal to take
the tax collecting system out of
politics by putting all bureau em
ployes under civil service.
DUNLAP CONFIDENT
Despite the rumblings of opnAsl
tlon from Capitol Hill, Internal
Revenue Commissioner John ■B.
Dunlap said he is confident that
Congress will not block the reorgan
ization plan just to keep from los
ing “patronage”. The present 94
collectors, who would be eliminated
by the proposed overhaul, are pol
itical appointees in whose selection
congressmen usually have a big
voice.
Former President Herbert Hoov
er noted that his commission, on
government reorganization recom
mended two years ago that all tax [
collectors be put under civil ser
vice.
In a radio speech last Saturday
Hoover said tax collector* should
be chosen only after "vigorous in
quiry into the loyalty,
and integrity of applicants." Than,
Mr. Hoover said, another “vigor
ous examination'! should follow to
determine their competence for each

Surprise Move
Also Asks End
To Cold War
PARIS (IP) Russia proposed to
day that a United Nations Se
curity Council meeting be ..called
immediately to attempt to break the
deadlock in the Korean armistice
talks.
The surprise proposal also would
call on top-level delegates, per
haps foreign ministers, to" survey
all phases of the cold war to de
termine if tension could tW eased.
The resolution was submitted be
fore the General Assembles majji
political committee under a spec
ial charter provision authorizing
“periodic" Security Council meet
ings attended by high government
officials and specially-designated
delegates. ' v <j
REJECTION SEEN
It was believed the Western pow
ers would hastily reject the move.
They have maintained persistently
that a Korean cease-fire is a pur
ely military problem that must be
negotiated in battle-field talks.
The resolution was submitted dur
ing a committee debate to which
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Y.
Vishinsky accused the United Sta
tes of trying to hatch a
style war In southern China.
He made the charge in answer
to a proposal by 11 nation*;‘hack
ed by the U. S. to streamline UH
collective security machinery to en
able it to deal with new aegressoon
as rapidly as possible. The plan
would authorize the UN to dele
gate regional defense groups like
the North Atlantic Treaty Organi
zation to act on its behalf.
Yishlnsky said the new program
“would not enforce peace but would
become a threat of a new war.”
CALLS U. S. AGGRESSIVE ,
Vlshinsky’s 38-page speech, wap
mainly devoted to a rejection of an
11-power resolution to betotefr the-"
U. N.’s anti-aggression machinery,
and comparatively restrained.
His main theme was that the U.
S. was trying to use the U. N. as a
camouflage for its “aggressive pol
icies.”!
He again accused the U. 8. of
starting the Korean war and t'->en
echoed the Chinese Communist
claim that the Americans are plot
ting a war against Red China it
self.
