WASHINGTON. Aug. 6. If you arc
perplexed by recent happenings In
Washington, be not disturbed. Con
sider the situation of some of the big
men of the ad
ministration, like
Senator Pat Har
rison. They are
on the Inside and
they cannot find
out what is golns
on.
The iena of
the zodiac seem
to be slightly
mixed up. A
hint of that
osme the other
day when Mr.
Harrison publicly
I'Al L .MALLUM
Implied that he would champion the
new tax program If he could only
find out what It was. Mr. Harrison's
dilemma, la far worse than yours
could ever be. because he Is In charge
of the program In the senate.
The confused senator placed his
quandary In the lap of Treasury Sec
retary Morgenthau. who was testifying
at the time. Mr. Morgenthau looked
at It a moment and dropped It on the
floor. He declined to touch It. siring
he was embarrassed. Mr. Harrison
suggested that the embarrassment was
widespread.
Some elder statesmen on the senate
committee decided to go home and
rest for the day. They thought that.
If the administration tax spokesman
in the senate did not know what the
tax program was and the treasury
secretary declined to tell him. It was
time for everyone to rest up.
The trouble with Mr. Harrison waa
that he called on the wrong man.
Mr. Morgenthau is supposed to bo In
charge of taxes, but It Is tindcrstood
that he learned of this bigness-taxing
program largely by hearsay.
If Mr. Harrison had only known
what went on at that picnic lunch
which President Roosevelt held on
the top of Sugar Loaf mountain the
day before, he would have been able
to aubpoena the right witness. You
may recall the great ado about Mr.
Roosevelt slipping off secretly for a
picnic lark that afternoon. It waa an
nounced that only Roy West, lift new
Ickes assistant; the president's per
sonal sercetaxy. Miss Lehand. and a
stenographer went along.
The fact of the matter la that Mr.
Morgenthau waa an unannounced
guest at that picnic, but not the most
Important one. The second one was
Prof. Felix Fankfurter. advocate of
the Brandeis tax philosophy of taxing
bigness and the supposed ghost-author
of Mr. Ftoosevelt's original tax
program.
Tf Senator Harrison had also sub
poenaed an old man of the moun
tain at Sugar Loaf he would also have
learned that Mr. Morgenthau was
overheard disagreeing strongly with
Prof. Frankfurter about the tax pro
gram It is understood Mr. Morgen
thau leaned to the wholly indifferent,
moderate program adopted by the
house ways and means committee, if
any.
Mr. Harrison was not wholly devoid
of information, however. He showed
he knew a little about what was go
ing on when he droped the sly re
mark that the house bill "has been
based on treasury recommendations."
The news accounts of that Incident
relate that a surprised look appeared
on the faces or some democratic sen
ators when Mr. Morgenthau permit
ted that remark to go unchallenged.
That put It mildly.
What Messrs. Harrison and Morgen
thau both knew, and the rest of the
world did not, waa that Mr. Morgen
thau'. Herman Ollphant, general
