Cronyism in Treasury Scandals Stirs Senate Critique
The piece argues that claims of cronyism under President Truman are not fully supported by recent disclosures. It notes John W. Snyder, a Missourian and ally, became Treasury secretary in 1946 and that in 1947 Joseph C. Nunan resigned as IRS commissioner to practice law. Treasury allegedly granted Nunan waivers to handle 102 tax cases, raising questions about patronage. It concludes that friendships within the Treasury may explain rather than excuse the conduct.

War spurred discovery, but postwar efforts repurpose gains for human comfort and peaceful advancement.

The project would boost about 1,500 local jobs and stimulate Southern California industry, but a $398 million corporate tax bill last year, up 70 percent from 1950, could slow or cancel planned plant work due to high tax pressure on profits.
