Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-08-20

A REMARKABLE partnership In
matrimony and burglary came
Y y 10 an end the other day in
New York when Allen and Ruth
Harris were sentenced 10 prison
terms for larceny de luxe that, au-
thorities say, netted them a cool
million dollars profit in six years.
That's real coin in crime circles
where, oddly enough, weekly take
of $50 is considered big money.
Patience, an appearance OF happy
donlesticity and business efficiency
were back of this outstandingly sue
cessful looters' team.
Just as most newlyweds start fig
uring how 10 balance the budget as
soon as the honeymoon is over, the
coniugal coalition of Harris and Har-
ris went 10 work on what they
thought was a fool-proof system Of
streamlining the art OF stealing
Since they hoped 10 perform most

like a pair of schoolday sweethearts,
they stood while the judge sentenced
them TO several years behind bars
Not even when the prosecutor,
Asst. Dist. Attorney Edward NJ. Rose,
offered leniency if they'd disclose in
formation about fences and aces
series would they talk.
Victims have come forward 10
identify and claim items found in the
Harris loot. Uncle Sam may slap a
tax attachment on the unearthed
Harris fortune, too.
So it seems likely that when Allen
and Ruth get out of Jail their million
dollar profit will have dwindled and
the firm may be nearer bankruptcy
than the ordinary $50 a week petty
pilferer ever was.

INTERSECTION, according to au-
' thorities on the subject, is in the
hands of a small but infuentially
powerful body of men who should
be distinguished from doctors gen.
orally, few of whom have any active
part in 1t.
Vivisection, charge the nations
anti-viViSecti0n societies, includes
the cutting of loving animals with
knives, burning. roasting or freezing
them to death. smOthering and
starving them, or in any other way
maltreating them with the excuse
that such action may at SOME FU-
TURE TIME add to the knowledge
of science and medicine -
EROM the pen of John Galswolthy,
l. noted English writer and hui
manitarian, there have come several
noteworthy pieces on the subject of
vivisection.
whatever ones beliefs concern
lHR TIE NNOIc uuCStiOt vi cApcil-
ments on the living body, the vivisec-
ton of dogs is strange anomaly"
wrote the English author.
Even if it be granted that the
dog, by reason of its intelligence
and nervous organization, is more
fitted than other animals for certain
vivisectiOnal experiments Though |
believe this is disputed), there are
yet basic considerations which make
such treatment of the dog a SCAN
DALOUS BETRAYAL.
HMAN, no doubt, first bound or
WI bred the dog to his service
and cOmpaniOnship for purely utili-
tartan reasons; but we of today. by
immemOrial tradition and senti-
ment that has become almost as in
herent in us as the sentiment toward
children give the dog a place

SELF throughout the ages and that
he ever INCREASINGLY DE-
SERVES"
Galsworthy gives the human race
credit for building up the nature of
the dog to it's present level, saying:
HE is by far the NEAREST
THING TO MAN on earth, the one
link that we have spiritually with
the animal creation; the one dumb
creature into whose eyes we can look
and tell pretty we'll for certain what
emotion, even what thought, is at
work.
"The one dumb creature which
not as rare exception but almost
always-steadily feels the sentiment
of LOVE AND TRUST. This special
nature of the dog is our own handi-
work, a thing instilled into him
through thousands of years of init
macy, care and mutual service :.
it is one of the prime factors of our
daily lives in all classes of society
this mute partnership with dogs;
and-WE ARE STILL VIVISECT-
ING THEM"
T ATER the author wrote again
Lon the subject. He quoted this
time from another humanitarian,
unnamed, who said:
IF ] were condemned to spend "a
hours alone with a single creature, |
would choose to SPEND THEM
WITH MY DOG"
Granting that most people
would make two or three human
exceptions, the saying expresses a
true feeling" Galsworthy wrote.
There is quiet comfort in the COM
panionship of dog, with its ever
ready. touching humility. which
human cOmpaniOnship, save of the
nearest, does not bring.
"And | assert that this boon TO
mankind-of dogs companiOnship-
does raise the dog onto the peculiar
plane of ethical consideration which
we apply to ourselves"

The Evil of Bureaucracy

Many states have from THREE
TO SIX TIMES as many federal
employees as state employees.
In Ohio, which has $4,000 state
employees, there are 10000 employees
of the federal government.
Massachusetts has $1,000 state
employees, and $4,000 federal
employees
Pennsylvania has 44,500 state
employees, and 215,00O federal
employees.
In Wyoming where LOO state
employees are sufficient to conduct
the states affairs, the United States
government maintains $500
employees.
"These representatives OF accu-
n,ulated executive poDer have noD
set up shop in every state and in
every nook and corner of the coun-
try" said Senator Byrd.
Bureaucracy, rabbit-Wise, is
acknowledging.
"The consequences of its fecun-
0Uy are eUefy OHSIS dpp"eHt
at uUastes the peoples money,
Houts the ,viH of the peoples elected
representatives and doWn to the
last crossroads, UiNage and farm
is EXTENDING ITS POWER OVER
THE PEOPLES LIVES"
THAT is where the evil of bureauc-
Il racy lies.
It is in the permanent New Deal
agencies, it's ambitious and greedy
and self perpetuating political agen-
cies, that the institution of wasted
manpower has become a malignant
growth upon the country, consuming
its energies and destroying its
resources.
Our real evil, our pernicious and
persistent evil, our growing and
potentially permanent evil is the
bureaucratic NEW DEAL ITSELF,
and the American nation should
purge itself of that evil and DO 1T
NOW.

THE United States Civil Service
l. Commission has reported to the
President that the army service
forces have removed 168,649 civilian
employees from the pay rolls during
the past year, thus saving the nation
more than one hundred million dol
lars annually in salaries.
There is no question but that the
army service forces are performing
their tasks efficiently, and the pres
ent evidence is that they are perform
ing them with fewer employees
which is to their credit.
But the need for civilian man
power conservation by the federal
government never HAS been caused
by military agencies, and was most
certainly NOT CAUSED BY THE
WAR.
The federal governments REAL
waste of manpower was costly
practice before the war and was a
NEW DEAL POLICY.
The present effort to blame it on
the war is only political subterfuge'
CENAToR BYRD of Virginia,
- chairman of the joint committee
of Congress on reduction of non
essential federal expenditures, "
recently gave the country the REAL
FACTS on bureaucratic waste of
civilian manpower under the New
Deal administration.
he disclosed that in practically
every state of the Union there are
more federal employees performing or
PURPORTING to perform federal
duties than there are state employees
attending to the business of the state
itself.
In fact, said Senator Byrd:
Our federal government noto
has more persons on the taxpayers
pay roll than the COMBINE d
TOTAL of all the IS states PLUS
ALL THE EMPLOYEES OF ALL
THE COUNTRYS COUNTY AND
MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTS"
