REPORT
To THE PEOPLE
By
Willis Smith
WASHINGTON—It wasn’t neces
sary to look at the calendar last'
week to determine that income tax
time was here again. I received a
flood of mail from the people of
North Carolina who were in the
midst of preparing their tax re
turns. The people are resentful at
the financial load they are having
to hear—and I know quite well
| how they feel. You see. I had
to prepare a return too.
* At this point I am terribly be
hind in my correspondence, so if
you ha»’c written to me. please
just bear with me and I’ll answer
your letter in the next few days.
And while I’m on the subject of
mail, please let me thank the hun
dreds of people who wrote to me
after my speech four weeks ago at
Richmond. We had so many re
oi’e'ts for copies of the speech
that I’m having some printed at
mv -owrt ■ - * “
I’m flattered that so many peo
ple wanted a cony of it We’ll ha”e
some extra conies so if you should
want one tco, just drep me a
card.
HOKTM WINS AGAIN
I.ast Thursdav the Senate, b'’ a
vote of 53 to 37. declined to die- !
anprove the President’' n'sn for
reorganization of the Internal Rev.
enue Bureau. A gres f ''pot of ed.
vance nrooaesnda had labeled thi'
as a “reform” measure. Some of
us in the Senate declined to swal
lov' that, propaganda.
The rrfan provides for an addi
tional 25 top-ranking officers to,
be known as District Commiesion
ers. to be chosen by the Admin
istration’s Civil Service Commission
and without any guarantee, of com
petitive examination which, of
course, is erntrarv to what many
victims of the reform propaganda
had imagined.
It will now be more difficult
than ever to get rid of incomoe
tents in government. Recent dis
closures showed that it took sev
eral years and $500,000 of the tax
payers’ money to get rid of just
one government employee. There
are other illustrations not quite so
bad.
The Civil Service Commission in,
theory is excellent and the princi
ples should be carried out in prac-

tice, but that isn't always the case
’ by any means.
Senator Hoey and I voted against
the proposal. Some Senators stated
that they were opposed to any
further whittling away of the pow
ers of Congress over the administra
tive agencies, but that so much
propaganda had been whipped up
back home that they fel; they
had to vote for the proposal. So
they voted, in effect, for the Presi
dent’s plan, even though they were
against it.
SOUTHERN VICTORY
A few weeks ago I wrote about
the attempt tv the government to
cut the throat of the industries
in the South, by setting un so
called “distress areas” in the North
As you mav remember, the bureau
crats wanted to do away with the
competitive bid ' system, which has
always guaranteed the taxpayers
thst the government will f>ay the
io#e*i possible price for the goods
it bnys.
Under this “distress area” plan
the government would buy its goods
whereever it desired, regardless of
whe'her the same goods could be
purchased in the South for a lower
price.
I Here’s the reason behind it’ This
is election year and the administra
tion knows that the heavy voting
areas of the North will be unhaooy
this November if there is wide
spread unemployment. So the ad
min'etration propo'ed to kick the
Scuth in the teeth in an effort
to transfer hs busines* to the
i. North for political purposes.
1 However, I have lust noticed that
the government is back-tracking on
, the sillv plan. The Department of
th“ Army has announced that it
will use the competitive b'd sys
tem to buy its "duck and web
birr”. "Duck and webbing" ape
textile products which are produced
; in large quantities in the South.
This is a victory. I think, for
• cor group of Southern Congress
• men and Senators, who protested
• «o vigorously recently against the
; “distress area” proposal.
i tam haooy to report this de
> vejooment. because It means a great
deal to our people v-hp work w*ts
u or for the textile industry, i might
■ add that our people in North Caro
■ lira, judging from correspondence
T have received, are beginning to
realize mat there ha' been an
attempt by their so-called “repre
sentatives” to oenal'ze the work
ers of the South in favor of those
in Massachusetts and elsewhere.
CIO INFLUENCE
| A flAr 'day* ago two very Pleasant
I gentlemen from North Carolina ’
paid me a visit. They are textile
workers in the Piedmont section
and members of the CIO. (
They called me off the Senate
floor and I found they were in .
the company of an attraettoe young 1
lady from the national headquar
te-r of the CIO here. They wanted
tc find out where I stand on cer
te’n legislation, particularly a bill
wi’b-h been introduced to pro-
I v*d» additional federal unemploy-
T cot benefit*.
T'-e vnung lady—not the two men
—did all the talking, as it turned
o’-t. But when I suggested that if
the government would leave our
textile mills alone in the South,
and stop trying to take our busi
ness away from us. in favor of
Northern textile mills, the young
lady did not wish to prolong the
conversation.
I could tell that the two men

UNDER THE DOME
Truman’s advisers have recom-
mended a further tax reform which
Senator George of Georgia Won’t
like. It's to open up all Income
tax returns to the public similar
to the Wisconsin plan—which is one
reason why Joe McCarthy’s iptcr
esttng tax returns were able to be
scrutinized and commented on in
the press. Even before Senator
George has a chance to frown,
however, White House secretary
Matt Connelly has done some
frowning. Matt says that doctors
and lawyers would be opposed to
open tax returns—which mak”s
some people wonder whv Connelly
is also opposed. . . . One of the
few news commentators who were
100 per cent rieht about the New'
Hampshire election was “The Old
Crusader.” George Christie of Man
chester. George hit it on the nose
for Eisenhower and Kefauver 160
per cent . . . Around the State De
partment it is said that George
Wadawarth was sent to Czechoslo
vakia as ambassador because in
Pi-ugue he won’t find three others
to play bridge with. As ambassador
to Turkey, Wadsworth spent so
much time at the bridge table that,
eventually, he was transferred.
from North Carolina were hearing
a view thev had rot heard before.
They would rathe- be employed
than draw unemployment benefits
from the federal government. I
thought at the time how fine it
would be if the people could know,
the full truth about what Is going
on today.
I think the private individual is
only now beginning to realize how
far our government has moved
into our private affairs. Each time
the government makes a move, it
becomes greater and more costly—
and at income tax time the load
on the shoulders of our people be
comes heavier.
It's perhaps trite to repeat this
—but it's later than we thin*.
