Rico's first elected governor Luis Munoz-Mari- n are a ajariety of motives The charges have been made on the floor of the U S senate by Republicans Owen Brewster of Maine and John B Butler of Maryland and by Democrat Olin F 11-0- low-co- st c- - c- p- million tit Senator Brewster says his inter- - etc fees My Ben Burroughs 'God Is Near Whether skies are dark or n V Tr es mfiu-entia- l Johnston of South Carolina Puerto Rican officials say Sena- tor Johnson's interest is easy to account for It is traced here to Leonard D Long a Charleston South Carolina builder He and his brother J C Long have been frequent and heavy contributors to Democratic political campaign chests In Puerto Rico Leonard D Long has had contracts for six housing projects containing in all some units and valued at $65 million Two of these projects were federal housing developments to help rid Puerto Rico of its worst slums Four apartment hotels and a duplex bungalow project are still under construction Leonard D Long also has pending in San Juan a lawsuit against the Puerto Rican government claiming one million dollars tax exemption for the development of a new industry This claim has been denied by federal court and by the federal court of appeal? in Boston Long is now suing before a Puerto Rican tax court Eventually he may take itto the supreme court The Story Behind the Story Senator Johnston's interest in this million-dolla- r lawsuit is of course the natural interest of any solon in the welfare of a constituent Back of this however is another story When Leonard D Long first proposed his Puerto Rican housing developments in 1946 there was no Puerto Rican tax exemption law to aid new industries After the law was passed in 1947 Mr Long got a letter from Jesus T Pinero then governor of Puerto Rico saying that in his opinion the Long interests were entitled to this exemption After his term as governor expired Pinero went to work for the Long interests The new governor Luis Munoz-Mari- n took the position that Indians had been building houses on Puerto Rico long before the Spaniards and the Americans came Housing was therefore not a new industry and not entitled to tax exemption This position was confirmed by the government's executive council and the Industrial Development corporation Long's reaction to this was to charge that he was being persecuted He hired a press agent in Miami and began to charge the Munoz government with dictatorship "El Mundo" leading Spanish daily in San Juan investigated the charges fully and in a series of articles showed that far from being persecuted Long had been shown every consideration in modifying building codes to get his projects going Back in Washington Senator Butlers interest in Puerto Rico is explained solely on the grounds LETTUCE of his interest in government economy Senator Butler admits he has never been in Puerto Rico He estimates that U S government ex3 eWeWW '" penses in Puerto Rico have been as high as a billion and quarter dollars for the last 10 years U S Expenses In Puerto Rice The figure given in Puerto Rico is a little under a billion For the Post year it was $130 million but it is explained

contributing factors to this infinitely dangerous almost unnoticed crisis like the silly and provocative French gesture of sending an "ambassador" to the Saar which the Germans regard as an integral

"I think you have said the problem very well" agreed Blough "Which do you want?" "Then so far as this discussion is concerned" summed up "the question is which is easier to bear from the practical point of view to gain the objective of defense to do it by way of deficit or by way of taxes?" In brief should congress spend the money then collect it afterward plus interest? Or should congress raise the money as it goes? as O'Mahoney indicated — is that congress wont boost taxes O'Ma-hone- Messages to Moscow School children across the nation are participating in the messages to Moscow campaign Many of the messages will soon be heard behind the iron curtain via the powerful radio beams of the Voice of America and will help offset Moscow's propaganda about American "warmongersT" Here for example is the kindly and 'straightforward message from a veteran of the Korean war — purple heart winner Garland Roberts a junior at Pine-vill- e high school West Virginia: "My message is not a message of bitterness Although I am only 19 years old I have fought in one of the most conflicting wars of the century — the Korean "Your nation is often accused of I do not feel starting this war yetThere must be malice toward you many of you who have suffered more than I Every American realizes that much is forced upon you "America and her people would like to see the Russian people free in a democratic nation with all the rights that we in America enjoy I know that you being my age feel and act the same way as I and that you would enjoy our democratic form ofc government "It is a great thing to be free and to live "without knowing fear and unhappiness "Garland Roberts ' Mrs Robert Vogeler His beautiful blonde wife listened raptly as Rdbert Vogeler who no longer bears the mark- of imprisonment by communist urged a militant of psychological warfare li 8 apasch to the recept conference - Hun-gar- "That realty was an economical Nobody ait iii y anti-Sovi- prf-cra- et y New Books At Library New books now ready for dr culation at the Carnegie Free library are as follows: "Jasmine Street" by Clifford Dowdey A new novel by the author of "Sing for a Penny" tracing through the spiritual pilgrimage of Paul Carrick the story of Ameirca during the past 50 years "General Douglas MacArthur by Francis Trevelyan Miller The full conone of of the most story troversial figures of our times from his days as a boy at Fort Little Rock to the recent thunderous reception given him upon his return to the United States "A of the American Theatre History 1700 to 1950'" by Glenn Hughes A record of the memorable events and immortal figures of the American stage from its beginnings to the present with a complete index of names and plays Story of Iowa Girl "Who Did What to Fedalia?" by Meredith Wildon The story of an innocent Iowa girl who thought she knew what she wanted in the big city by the musical director of NBC's "The Big Show" ' "The Swimming Pool" Mary Roberts Rinehart A new by mystery novel by the author whose is a luxurious house a socialite family and an unknown Soldier-Statesma- n" up-to-d- ate i stock-in-tra- de body "The Case of the Corner Cottage" by Christopher Bush A Ludovic Travers mystery novel in which the famous detective finds all the answers to the murder of his agency's star operative "The Forgotten Language" Erich Fromrh An introduction by to the understanding of dreams fairy tales and myths by the author of "Escape from Freedom" Plan to Cttre Complex - j "Help Yourself to Happiness" by David Seabury A book present-inf- c a workable plan for conquering shyness insecurity inferiority complex and for achieving mental confidence "Firewater and Forked Tongues" by M I McCreight An unconventional volume in which Flying Hawk a Sioux chief interprets JJ S history as the Indian saw it "100 Great Religious Poems" edited by Randolph Ray A treasury of sacred poetry and hymns prayers for spiritual comfort selected by the Rector of The Little Church Around the Corner The Higher Happiness" bv Ralnh W Sockraan A book which l4explores the nature of true hap-pmess set lortn m the Beatitudes of Jesus "Government Is Your Business"' by James Keller A detailed explanation of the role the citizen can play in saving America from disaster by the author of "You Can Change the World" "The United Nations j Bluefor Peace" by Fenichell and print Andrews The story of the U N — what it is what ft stands for and its importance to the future with more than 100 illustrations ' Questions 7 And Answers Q — What Italian coin corresponds to the American dollar?
