 Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tMa,or Robert s. Allen on active dutyo


 WASHINGTON - Politics some times play an important role m determining the fate Of battles. Usually it is an unfortunate roie' but in handling any conglomera- tions of Allies so looSe-knit as the United Nations, or even the British Empire, politics are often neces- sary.
 Latest illustration was the re- moval of Gen. Auchinleck as Brit ish commander in North Africa. Inside story behind this is that he was busted to satisfy the South Africans and Gen. Jan Shuts.
 Those who have fought around Auchinleck say he is good sol- dier. But his chief disaster dur ing Rommels midsummer advance was the fall of Tobruk. And for this his supporters partly blame politics. and the fact that South African, Gen. Kloppers, had been given command of Tobruk.
 It is no secret that the political situation inside South Africa is ticklish. The Boers never have been enthusiastic over the British, and Gen. Shuts faces critical op- position from their leader, Gen. James Hertzog, who fought against the British in the Boer War.
 Perhaps this delicate situation also had something to do with the surrender of Tobruk. Long cas- ualty lists do not make good read ing in the South African papers, and this may have influenced Gen. Kloppers in giving up Tobruk in a few hours, whereas it had With stood weeks of pounding before.
 However, there was also a great deal Of criticism in South Africa because Gen. Auchinleck permitted his army to be outmaneuvered, so Nazi forces were able to approach

But the President already has
limited publicly at war costs of
$50, ZOO, 900. 900 for the next fis-
cal year (the IL months begin
ming July /. 1922, indicating a
total federal budget of roughly
SIS. 200, 100000 after allowing
for non-military activities.
That will approximately dou-
BILE the spending rate of the cur
rent fiscal year. already the most
expensive in United States his
tory, and dwarf the $18,522, 00O,-
900 spent in the most costly
year of the World War.

1t also will surpass the esti-
mated $50, 900, 600, 900 a year ex-
penditures for war of Germany
and the $21 200, 900 900 a year of
the British empire. These COM
parsons, however, officials
warned, must be discounted be-
cause German ..ic British money
buy more goodc per dollar equi-
valent in their own countries and
because of numerous other tech
nical and financial differences.
Stacked against revenues, the
proposed spending plans call for
more than So o. expenditures for
every 81 of taxes. The Treasury
has estimated that existing taxes
will raise about $16,000,0O0 900
in the coming fiscal year, but is
seeking huge new taxes which
may alter the fiscal outlook lat
err.
The budget may also mean a
500, 100000 national debt in the
next fiscal year. The Treasury's
obligations now are $57, ESQ, O00,-
600 and are expected to come
close to the existing Sos, 000,-
100000 statutory debt limit in
the next six months. Even with
new taxes the deficit in the
next year may be as much as
SIS, ZOO, 100000 which would
bring the debt to the 100000
100000 level-a mark which
distinguished bankers at one
time thought impossible.

Inmates Stay
Three Guards
Institutions
Set-Up Blomed

BRIDGEWATER, Mass, Jan.
q R The New Years Day
bludgeon Staying of three un-
armed guards by two inmates of
the Bridgewater State Prison
farm was attributed today by
District Attorney Edmund r.
Dewing to faults in the institu-
tons set-up.
= The inmates, gassed and club
bed into submission after setting
beds afirc and holding guards
and state policemen at bay for
almost two hours in an apparent
escape attempt, were taken to
the farm hospital, where it was
sal dthey probably would recov-
err.
While asserting he favored
the prese nt rule forbidding
guards from carrying guns, Dew
ing told newspapermen he be-
lieved the guards should be
permitted to carry concealed
clubs or blackjacks.
He said the pay of the guards
Sic to $24 d week-was too
low to attract young, capable
men to the job with the result
that many of the $50 guards for
more than 1000 inmates were
of advanced years.
Those slain, George Landry of
Whitman, Franklin L. Weston of
Bridgewater anG Howard v.
Murphy of Taunton, were 81,
50 and AZ years old respectively.
Prison superintendent James
E Warren identified the slay-
ers as Donald Willard, 10, of
Nashua, N. H., and Joseph Shep-
pard, Is, of Worcester, classified
as d + e C tiv e delinquent and
serving so-cs lied indeterminate
life sentences.
He said the guards were slain,
one at q time and in different
sections of the defective delin-
quent building, by blows from
hammers and chisels, taken from
a tool box. and a 30-pound boot
jack, tool used in the farm
cobbler shop.

IS Strike Scene

DETROIT, Jan. 2-tP-Strik-
ers established picket lines in
suburban Highland Park today
around the city hall, public
works and water departments
and the service entrance of the
Highland Park General hospital.
Harold G.. Bruffett. president
of the Highland Park city en-
ployes union (AFL). said the
strike action was taken in a
vote last night and that union
demands were a general wage
increase of Is cents an hour and
exclusive bargaining rights.
Only maintenance workers at
the hospital we're affected, ac-
cording to Arthur M. Stringent.
AL business agent. He said all
nurses. orderlies, cooks and 9TH
ers upon whose care the patients
depended were allowed to pass
through picket lines.
Apr mately $50 union
members were said to have par
ticipated in the walk-out. Water,
fire and police departments were
free of strike action.
While pickets marched at the
front and rear entrances of the
city hall, Mayor Blaine T. Col

for anyone who wants to work"
The strike vote rejected a city
offer to increase all wages under

year. City officials estimated
such a plan would cost $37 900

spending effort in world annals,
went to the printers today.
President Roosevelt and bud

after working through the New

Contents of the budget-a
