port suggesting various ways of in-
creasing revenues. Included a pro-
posed levying of taxes on public,

collection, water, lights, etc
Tatum said he left the hearing
more convinced than ever, the
justification of a pending proposal
In Beaumont, where the city owns
the water system. Under the pro-
posal, the city charter would be
amended so that revenue from the
water system could be used for gen-
eral purposes; by then Increasing'
the monthly water rate an average
of 15 cents per month per user, the
dty would take in an additional
1200.000 a year
"Individuals would then pay for
the service they get," he observ-
ed. “and you wouldn't put all the
burden on ad valorem taxpayers ”

/Plan for Press Freedom
d A RUSSIAN writer has recently charged
that the campaign by American and
“ British press services for international
nreaa frawtona is a smokescreen for efforts
” " ^to “concentrate all newspaper business in
i, the hands of big capital.”
_____3.' Six days before this accusation, Wil-
liam L. Ch^nery, speaking to the Overseas
« Press Club in New York, had urged that
’ a non-political organization of newspaper,
■^magazine and radio correspondents of all
nations be formed to throw their combined
1 weight behind a drive for free access to
hews throughout the world.
■I. Mr. Chenery, who is publisher of Col-
•jJigr’s magazine, suggested that correspon-
; dents of each nation ask their govern-
ments to plead their case, and to use their
trading position to gain press freedom.
This suggestion, like similar ones, runs
Xinto a hedge of difficulties and dangers.
One great difficulty is that the Russian
- and Anglo-American definitions of a free
press are diametrically opposed. And one
danger of government intercession was
se«D not long ago in our own Congress,
f when an attempt was made to attach a
■ free-press rider to a foreign relief ap-
propriation, where it certainly didn’t be-
long.
2 Yet there is some hope for an organ-
isation such as Mr. Chenery suggests. Rus-
sia’s foreign correspondents have free ac-
- cess to news outside their own country.
- And Russian censorship of foreign journ-
• ahsts’ dispatches has been notably relax-
ed in the past few weeks. It seems pos-
sible that an international, rather than
-an Anglo-American campaign for press
freedom might find Russia more amen-
-able, andmight achieve at least the first
step toward the unhampered circulation
7 of information so vital to world enlight-
: enment and peace.

By JAMES MARLOW

Moscow meeting of Secretary of State Byrnes

In a few days' head-to-head talks they can
finish problems that would take weeks or months
if handled in the usual diplomatic way.
This explains how Byrne* prepares for such a
meeting and what happens when he get* .there
The atomic bomb was the No 1 item on the
schedule. So Byrne* took with him Dr. James
Bryant Conant, president of Harvard and one of
the best-informed Americans on atomic energy.
Since certain other problems—affecting Europe
and Asia—were a cinch to come up, Byrnes took
with him expert* on those area* from his own
state department
The foreign ministers get together usually about
4 or I o'clock in the afternoon and talk till • p. m.
or later. In the mornings, and sometimes right

Seventh Fleet Commander Has

By HAL BOYLE
SHANGHAI,. Dec. Tt.WO—If you
ask Navy men who is the most
determined man they know, many
will answer "Uncle Dan Barbey,"
commander of the U. 8. Seventh
Vice Adm. Daniel Edward Bar-
bey has directed more amphibious
landings than any man in history
—82—and has been on continuous
sea duty tn combat zones longer
than any other flag officer in the
Navy Perhaps one reason he lias
been such a hefty warrior is that
he had to fight his way Into uni-
form.
No ooe Ims vvw been ubi*, Lu

rejected him on physical grounds
after he had won appointment to
the Academy from Portland. Ore .
in 1908 Hf was highest in the
competitive exams for the appoint-
ment
“You have heart murmurs and
palpitations,' Academy doctors told
him kindly, but many people .have
lived to a ripe old age with that
conditkm."
It frightened the 18-year-old boy.
but made him angry, too He de-
cided lie didn’t believe them He
boarded a train for Washington,
D C.. and called at the office of
the Navy's surgeon general.
The surgeon general saw him, but
shook ins head There was nothing
he could do
Barbey, who the night before had
written a note to his hotel man-
ager telling what to do with the
body if he died in his sleep, asked

Neighborhood Movies
Seen as Family Center
By BOB THOMAS
gJfOLLYWOOD, Dec. 18.—(AP)— That old ex-
n pounder. Bam Goldwyn. comes up with the
theory that the neighborhood movie theater will
become one of the important centers of American
community life.
“The end of the war win bring decentralization
of cities aU over the world," the producer de-
clared. "Famine* will turn more and more to
their neighborhood theater* for recreation I
wouldn't oe surprised if we find the neighborhood
theater assuming the place In our national life
once occupied by our town halls and ‘come-to-
meetlng houses"

Want to get in good with Irene Dunne? Ask her
wh” she doesn’t sing on the screen any more. I
asked her and she Immediately placed me in her

"The main reason 1,-don't sing In pictures Is
because nobody ask* me." she said on the “Anna
and the King of Siam" set. "Also, most directors
are afraid to put songs in pictures for some res-

It's strange that Irene originally came to Holly-
wood as a slngsr, after appearing on Broadway
in "Show Boat." "Luckily they put me in 'Cimar-
ron' first and I got started on a dramtlc career."
<he said. “If I had done a musical first, I might
not be here'now. Thoge were the days when the-
ater* put out signs saying, 'Notice. This is NOT
a musical picture'.”
There has been much talk about getting the
"Forever Amber" script passed by the Johnston

The surgeon general smiled
"There is a Doctor Musser in Phila-
delphia—If he says you're all right,
you're as good as in."
But no sooner had he finished
his examination than Barbey faint-
ed. Revived, young Barbey ac-
knowledged sadly, "I guess they
were right."
"No," said the doctor, T Just \

tomorrow."
He did He passed Exultantly
he returned to the surgeon general,
who read the Philadelphia special-
ist's verdict and told htm, with a
grin:
"You go down and tell that
Academy board to give you another
examination, and if they reject you
I'll appoint another board and serve
on it myself,"
There was another obstacle, by
that time; his Oregon senator had
learned of ills first rejection and
appointed another boy <
The senator was out of town,
but young Barbey found his secre-
tary—who was in her room drying
her laundry—sent a telegram to
Oregon Instructing the second ap-
pointee to remain there
Then Barb--y found the senator,
who said he'd withdraw the second
appointment if the lad hadn't al-

Limpid Prose
-RETURNING servicemen have a de-
lijjhtful aurpriae in store for them.
’The gentlemen in Wadhinirton who wrote
• the Revenue Act of 1945 have kindly de-
fined for them the “tax attributable to
pre-service earned income,” which they
are permitted to pay in inatallments.
“ The definition reads as follows—so help
us:
“The term ‘tax attributable to pre-serv-
ice earned income means the excess of the
. tax imposed by chapter 1 for any war year
over the tax that would have been impos-
ed for such year if there had been ex-
eluded from the net income for such year
the amount of the earned net income As
such term was defined in section 25 (a)
(4) as in force with respect to such year,
..except that in computing such earned net
\tocome, compensation for active service
In such forces shall be disregarded)
* Mulling over that, the veteran
probably understand why Uncle Elmer
.dtook rat poison about tax-paying time
-back in ’44 (the year of the great forgive-
ness).

Caused Eire Neutrality
By DEWITT MACKENZIE
\ AP World Traveler
JXUBLIN, Dec. 18.—Now we come to the vexatl-
ous question of why the Eire government
maintained neutrality during the war and refused
request* of the United States and Britain for
badly needed naval bases
That's a hot potato I think perhaps the best
way to approach it to to tell you of an extraordi-
nary incident that has happened Lo me here
I went to get a picture of the fine old parlia-
ment building. Having secured permission of the
sentry, I proceeded to malto four shots. I had
much difficulty because a huge statue of Queen
Victoria stood right in front of the building and
ttwre VU no way or outflanking it. As I was
maneuvering for a fresh position, a minor govern-
ment employe intervened and said I wouldn't be
permitted to publish such a photo
building taken with the Queen in front of IL” he
declared with such finality that I promptly re-
moved my film roll and handed it to hlin.
“Weil," I remarked, as I eyed the likeness of
the famous queen who has ben dead these 45
years. “I knew the feeling here against England
was bitter, but I didn't suppose it was this bad."
I went back to my hotel, not at all annoyed
but on the contrary much interested. By the time
I arrived at my hotel I received profuse apologies
by telephone from the head of one of the govern-
ment departments, and he himself brought the
film to me.
The cold fact is that the people of southern
Ireland as a whole are so bitter towards Britain
that political circle* here will tell* you quietly
there would have been open revolt in some quarters
if the government had granted bases and thus
iolned In the war on the side of England.
The government of Eire and the majority of the
public regard England as an Invader because of
the partition of Ireland into two sections. Had
the two sections been united when the war began,
the probabilities are the Emerald Isle would have
come in on the side ol the Allies. It wasn't that
Eire wanted the Germans to win. Many thousands
of southern Irishmen served with the British
figi.tlng forces as volunteers.
I dare say one could dig up further reasons for
neutrality, but to my mind we always get back
to the great feud between the southern Irish and
the English—a bloody quarrel which runs through
the centuries to the early Irish kinds who finally
succumbed to the Invaders.
