SIXTEEN MEDFOHD (OFECON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday. October 12, 1358 Former Internal Revenue Chief Would End Income Tax if Elected Richmond, Va. tU.P) For nearly three years as President Eisenhower's internal revenue commissioner, T. Coleman An drews nagged the people to file their income tax returns early. And he told his subordinates to make every last taxpayer fork over every last penny due the government. Now he's 'running for presi drnt on an independent conser vative ticket which is dedicated to abolition of the federal in come tax. This isn't as inconsistent as it may sound. In early 1953 shortly after joining the Eisenhower team he said taxes were "oppres sively high." But as long as the law was on the books and he had the job of administering it, he would operate according to "plain old fashioned morality steadfastly practiced and rigid ly enforced." Can Say What He Thinks Now that he is no longer with the government and is, instead, the presidential candidate of a new conservative political move ment, he can say what he thinks. One of the things he thinks is that the income tax is a "thor oughly un-American" device pulled "right out of the Commu nists' manifesto." He also thinks the major par- 'vnk T. COLEMAN ANDREWS Would Abolish Income Tax ties heve veered so far to the left that they are both socialis tic. He is against selective serv ice and federal aid to education. He is for states rights. The tall, husky, handsome An drews. 57-year-old native of Richmond, never had any poli tical ambitions and never until this year ran for political office. He didn't want to this time. But on Sept. 15 at Memphis, Tenn., a loosely knit group of more than 300 representatives of a variety of conservative splinter parties in 25 states en dorsed him for president. They picked Thomas H. Werdel, form er Republican ' House member from Clifornaia, as his running mate. Andrews hesitated for a while, but finally agreed to run. Nimii on Ballots On Oct. 6, the "National Com mittee for T. Coleman Andrews and Thomas H. Werdel" said in dependent electors' names will be on the ballots in at least 14 states 8 in the South and 6 in the North and Midwest for the presidential election in Novem ber. But Andrews has made it clear he is not trying to establish a third party. His aim, he says, is to force a realignment of both the Republican and Democratic parties. He hopes to do this by proving at the polls that there are a lot of conservative voters who don t like the way either major party is behaving. - j We think there will be enough to give both parties something to think about, he says. Back Stairs: One Short Trip a Week By RICHARD E. MOONEY United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) Back stairs at the White House: "I am trying, at least, to make one short trip a week." That's how President Eisenhower out lines his plans for the remain der of the campaign. - Short in time, but mostly long in distance. None of the Presi dent's four trips so far the shortest was about 400 miles has taken him away from Wash ington for more than 31 hours. Next week: The longest in time and distance: '72 hours and about 5,500 miles. Mr. Eisenhower's press follow ing on the campaign has been growing. It took two chartered planes to carry the reporters and cameramen on the Pitts burgh trip this week, and there will probably be two for at least part of the long western trip next week. Between 35 to 40 newspaper and wire service re porters have boarded the planes here on each of the four stump ing tours. The presidential cara van always picks up more re porters on the road, some from local newspapers and radio and TV stations, and some Washing ton reporters who are out there sampling grass roots sentiment. In addition, there are a dozen or more radio and TV newsmen, photographers and cameramen on each trip. The President received an open letter last week, telling him: "You are a commuter's hazard." Portland (U.R) Edward P. O'Neill, 75, long-time manager of Eastman Kodak stores and a prominent Portland business man, died yesterday in Good Samaritan hospital here. All Italy Mourns Gallant Laborer Tcrrazzano, Italy U.R) Italy today mtfurned for the gallant laborer who died leading a police assault on two mad brothers who held 100 children and three women teachers hostages for six terrifying hours Wednesday. Sante Zennaro, 23, was shot and killed by Arturo Santato, 27, who, with his brother, Flavio Osvaldo, had threatened to kill the children and teachers unless paid $320,000 ransom. Zennaro was chosen to lead the police charge because he helped build the school and knew the layout. He fell under a hail of bullets as he clambered through the window of the first floor classroom where the crazed brothers were holed up with their terrified hostages. Neil McNeil, a Scripps-How- ard reporter who drives to work from Virginia every day, wrote: "It's bad enough trying to get back and forth to work during rush hours, what with only four bridges across the Potomac in Virginia. But Mr. President, when you get into the act, things get to be almost impossible." McNeil was referring to the fact that traffic is halted while the White House cars pass measure taken for presidential safety and speed. He wishes Mr. Eisenhower would keep his air port trips to non-commuter hours. nrnncir' U I I S II J U M U VI U U . a S 1 lit W.-V Miss Allen Elected SOC President of OEA Ashland Miss Florence Al len, associate professor of educa tion at Southern Oregon college, was elected president of the cam pus Oregon Education associa tion at a meeting Tuesday in the faculty lounge.
