. V WASHINGTON, June 19. If this1
tax evasion Investigation ta really!
planned to do a good Job of collecting
back debts for Uncle Sam. they pick
ed the right man to head It up. That
la. If we can believe what the modern
jjaychologlsts say about a man's char
acter being made up of "conditioned
reflexes," or, as Pope put It: "Just as
the twig la bent the tree's inclined."
Robert L. Dough ton. chairman of
K the house ways and means committee.
ewly Inclined toward collecting
rla T-U1- Here Is one story to prove
A man whiv.once bought a team
-rom Mr, Dougiitbn' Jflter wrote that
ne didn't think the span was worth
the 9800 he had agreed to pay and
- wouldn't pay It. The dear had been
negotiated at a distance and the
principals had never met. So one day
Mr. Doughton dropped in at the farm
md said he wanted to look over a
good team. The man showed several,
nut none semed to suit Mr. Doughton.
"All right, said the man, "I'll
show jou the best pair you ever sjw
la your life."
He brought out the horses recently
acquired from Mr. Doughton, but still
unpaid for. And what might they
be worth? Well, considerably over;
MOO.
Mr. Doughton Introduced t himself
.. and didn't have much trouble In col
lecting. That ought to give any bona fide :
tax evader pause. !
There is another reason why Mr. '
Doughton. Is a good man to have on
the collecting end of a bargain If
fa you aren't the debtor. He's a .farmer,
It's true. But he Is also a banker,
and he works at both when he Isn't
In Washington. He doesn't keep
banker's hours, however. When he
reaches his office on the t.ilrd floor
of the new House office building, he
already has two hours' work done. He
leaves when he's through, which may
he six o'clock or later.
For the first 45 years or so of bis
life, Mr. Doughton held no elective
office, but he managed to find, time
for an active Interest in hit commu
nity, which Is deep In the Carolina
hills. Laurel Springs, N.C., is still his
home. On his parents' farm near
there he was born. His father wound
ed In the war between the state, died
when he was a grown boy; his mother,
alive until a few years ago, was keen
ly active to her last hours. Interested
in the day's mall and the dally news-
paper to the last.
Inheriting some land from his fath
er, thr boy stnrtrd off for hlmtcll,
feudally acquiring more until he bo
came a livestock raiser and tarmer.
Then he entered business, finally be
coming president of a bank.
1 , He has described himself as a horse
i trader. There arc many tales that
nave grown up about his astuteness
that. If a little embellished with
repetition, are not doubted by thoe!
who have watched his steady advance
ment In congress. He entered under a
Republican regime President Taft's
to be a xact accepted minor cjm
mhtee appointments, but rose rapidly
to the head of one of the must im
portant bodies In . the house the
ways and means committee
One of the hone-trader stories Is
rbla: After disposing of some animals
he hsd Intended to sell, he was made
a very attractive offer for cbe one he
Wka riding his own saddle hcrsc
Done, he took the money, turned over
the bridle, took the saddle under his
arm and walked back home, seventy
mil', says tradition, under his own
power.
There doesn't seem to have been
any deep-laid plan for
career tn the farmer-boy's m.nd when i
he began life among the oxcarts and
band looms of those early days In the
anitth follow l ru th war. Nor ret. i
when h. had acquired hl own acre.
and entered Into the buslnea. life of
the community. He was chosen
member of the itite board of agricul
ture and served on the prison board
Then, one day. It was decided to tun
n:tn for the state senate. He was
elected and served for a term Con
press was ncit, but there was a sort
of unwritten law in his dls.net that
oca term was all a man cou d ex
pect, for Republicans and Democrats
ned always swapped terms.
But Mr. Doughton chsnsd nil
that. Or at least his constituents
did. When he hsd served his term
in t."e suty-setond congresa. lnstfsd
of retiring him, as had been the cus
tom, the voters sent him right back
analn and they have been doing It
ever since..
There Isn't any question that Rob
ert L. Doughton llkea his Job in
Washington. But It's equally true
that, when the session la over, ne

Airmen Pass Queen Char
lotte Islands Last Night,
After Flight Over Can
adian Wilds.
United Press reports last night said
the Soviet plane was due at Oakland
about noon. If It took this route
It was to pass over or near this sec
tion between 8 and 0 o'clock. It was
estimated.
(lly Associated Press)
At 11:30 p.m. (P.S.T.) the Seafie
army signal corps heard the plane
messaging. the signal corps station at
the Presidio, Sen Francisco, the mes
sage merely asked for latest weather
re pons.
All messages were In a number
code and transmission was slow
about elgbt words a minute.
It was learned the code was sent
from Moscow to London, thence to
New York and on to San Francisco
by some sort of facsimile transmis
sion, the whole operation taking only
a few hours. The speedy handling
was necessary because the code was
changed shortly before the flight be
gan. The number code was necessary ht
caufc none of the filers speak Eng
lish. It enables English-speaking
stations to understand requests for
weather reports and other Informa
tion. Vartanlan talked by telephone dl
cct with Moscow several times since
the flight started, calls being routed
acrosr. the Atlantic and Europe.
SEATTLE, June 1 0. (p) Soviet
Russia's plane, bound from Moscow
across the North Pole to Oakland,
Cal.. sped down the Canadian coast
tonight with Its last reported posi
tion over Queen Charlotte Island on
the British Columbia coast, the U. 3.
signal corps said.
The U. 3. sienal corns office hero
reported the plane's position was re-
ceiYca at w;uo p. m. (t.o.i.) oy An
chorage and Ketchikan stations and
the Seattle Boeing airfield station.
At 8:46 p. m. (P.S.T.) the ship re
ported It was going over the Queen
Charlotte Islands and "everything was
going well," the signal corps said.
The rest of the message was not de
cipherable. The Queen Charlotte Islands are
about 600 to 600 miles north of Se
attle, or between 1,000 and 1,200
from San Francisco.
Vartanlan said he did not know
whether reports the plane started
with 2.000 gallons of gasoline were
correct. However, It appeared an er
or may have occurred' In transmis
sion of the 10.463 liter figure given,
for that amounts to more than 2,700
gallons.
From the last reported position.
observers estimated the plane would
j reach Seattle about 3:20 a. m. (P.S.T.)
If Its progress continues unimpeded.
The Boeing field weather station
here reported overcast skies In the
vicinity of Vancouver, B. C. At Se
attle flying conditions were Improv
ing after rain and cloudy weathr
earlier In the evening. The station
reported "celling" of 1.500 to fi.OOO
from Seattle south to the California
border, with conditions Improving to
the southward.
At 10:24 p. m. (P.S.T.) the plane
' asked for weather reports
but did
( not give Its position.
EDMONTON. Alts.. June 19..
The Royal Canadian corps of signals
tonight picked up a message from
the trans-polar Soviet filers saying
they were over the north tip of
Queen Charlotte Island and "every-
p-litlcai'itnlnB 14 r'8nt"
said the plane was southwest of

The filers asked for weather con
ditions. j Text of the message as picked up
here at 9;08 p. m. (MiJT.) was:
! "We have already expended 10.483
; liters of gasoline. Everything is all
right. How are weather conditions?
I am receiving you well."

Sides Relief Too High
WASHINGTON, June 19. ;T) The
United States Chamber of Commerce
demanded today a prohibition en
"every form of force and coercion and
Intimidation In labor relations."
George H. Davis, chamber president,
outlined the organlratlon's program
for the coming year. Already approved
by the chamber board, the program
will be forwarded to 750.000 members
throughout the country.
"The chamber." Davla asserted In a
statement, "will consider suggesting
amendments to the labor relations
act defining labor practices unlaw
ful for employes, employers and all
others."
(At present tlft act outlaws only
"unfair" practices by employers.)
"The chamber," Dsvla added.
"stands for outlawing every form of
force end coercion and Intimidation
In labor relations, for outlawing
strikes when brought to coerce the
public or public authority, and tor
public registration of all labor or
ganizations and of those who seek
to form them."
Topping the list of chamber alma
was reduction In governmental etc
pendltures.
"The chamber will peralst In ask
ing a balanced federal budget, and a
progressive reduction or the national
debt," tho president declared.
It also "will study the possibility
of gradually liquidating emergency
governmental agencies,"
"Relief costs appear entirely out
of line with the prcgreas of business
I recovery." Davis asserted.
Aa to taxation, the chamber prcal
dent urged "a complete overhauling
of the federal tax structure" to dla
tribute the tax load more equitably.
"Elimination, or at least radical
revision of the corporate surplus tax
and the capital gains and loss pro
visions will be advocated.'" he con'
tfnued.
The social security act, Davis as
serted. should be tevlsed to elimin
ate provision for accumulating huge
