GOVERNOR DEWEY

New Haven Journal-C COURIER
Governor Dewey has set an object
lesson In vetoing o bill which would
have dispensed with parole In the
case Of any man released from @
New York state prison II the man
had served with the nations armed
forces since the beginning OF the
war and had been honorably dis
charged. The governors point was
that parole Is not form OF punish
ment but system OF rehabilitation
and guidance for persons needing
II; hence an ex-soldler should not
be deprived OF this supervision
when II Is for his best interest or
that Of society.
Not only Is the Governor correct
from the sociological point Of view,
but also from the point OF view OF
the ex-serViceman. In TIL Scase,
neither interest would be served by
making the exception.
Other instances are certainly CO.
Ing to arise In which q superficial
analysis will suggest that an excep-
ton be made In favor OF the vet
eran. The sentimental thing and
perhaps the popular thing will be
to acccde. But IN numbers OF cases,
nobOdyg good will bo served by 10
doing. Certainly every legitimate
advantage that the nation can Rc-
cord the veterans should DO given.
But proposals which purport 10 be

offspring, an expensive luxury for income
tax purposes. Under the present schedule,
a couple gets 81, 200 exemption, and $3.50
for each minor child. But with exemp-
tons at $500 apiece, q childless couple
would be out 5000 exemption, and $50
loser with only one. Not until there are
two youngsters does the family start
cashing in, with $4,000 exemption as
against 81 900 at present. And the pro-
life parents of 10 would save 800 on
the reutrn. 1t may be that, with stroke
of the pen, the Ways and Means Commit
tee has banished all fears of declining
birth rate.
Another interesting tax sidelight is
provided by recent Gallup poll, which
found that SIS per cent Of those questioned
favored sales tax over higher income
taxes Last May similar poll found only
AZ per cent for sales tax Perhaps the
subsequent shock of the March Is payoff
may have changed their minds. Plenty of
people in Washington have found plenty
Of reason against sales tax. Pressure
groups of one sort and another have helped
them in the search. But the fact remains
that, If Dr.. Gallup'S luizzers are as ac-
curate as usual, the majority considers
the sales tax a preferable way of combat
ting inflationary spending and of put

Soldiers Will Vote

Congress has been spending lot OF its
time over inconsequential details with
reference to the Federal ballot for SOL
diers. The so-called "bob-tailed" ballot
simply carries place to write the name
of 'yOur choice for President" and that
line covers the whole Presidential ticket
as vote for President, Vice President and
electors Of the same party. TWO blank
spots are set aside in which to express
a choice for Senator, and two more spaces
are left for voting for congressman.
No wonder Congress refused to rubber
stamp that idea. The different States
almost unanimously show disposition to
prepare ballots carrying the list of candi-
didateS just as they will appear in all the
polling places within the States. The
chatter that goes around that some States
might not do this is what is called in the
language OF the streets as "just plain
nonsense"
Congress has been trying to please the
President, but has found it almost impos-
Sible to do so. But if Congress has its
way the policy outlined for State ballots,
including all offices, will 60 through. The
soldiers ballot and other questions in
which the White House and Capitol Hill
disagree are being handled gingerly in
Washington, largely due to the fact that
Democratic Senators and Representatives
are actually anxious to heal the breach
that exists in their own party for
particular reason, known as politics.

TURKISH PERSECUTION

FROM TIE NAILS IN ROME
New York Times)

The German declaration about
Rome Is o delusion, mockery and
O snare, 80 that responsibility for
the bombing OF Rome will remain
entirely with the Allies piouSly
begins the statement broadcast yes
terday--"the German command IN
the next few days will scrupulously
withdraw from Rome every inStalla-
ton which could serve as the slight
est preteXt for IN air terror and
will still further deviate military
transports from the Eternal City,"
This Is All attempt to deceive the
world which will actually deceive
nobody. A glance at any map will
show the utter impossibillty OF any
German action, either Mt Casino or
at the Anzio beachhead, which does
not involve the use OF Rome as q
base OF operations. There are no
railways and no main trunk high
ways leading to either OF these
fronts which do not 60 through

way for supplies and reinforcements

self. Ten years Of Adolf Hitler have
taught the world the worthlessnesS
Of German promise. But even
without this experience the facts OF
the present situation would expose
the hypocrisy OF this declaration. It
Is simple statement Of geograph-
ical necessity that as long as Ger
man troops are fighting At Anzio
and Casino German supplies will
be rolling down from the north
into the freight yards Of Rome for
distributions TO those fronts.
II the Germans wish TO make
Rome an open city there Is an easy
way to do It. Let them withdraw the
armies which they have posted to
the south Of Rome; let them evacu-
ate a capital which they hold as an
alien, hated conqueror; and let
them give back Rome to the Italian

Deep In the branches the buds,
The tight little buds that star
All the treetops golden morning
Are there, they are all there
Deep in the silken cases,
Wound into the core,
Is the whole radiant summer
Waiting to outpour
All the petals and terdrils forming
Under the SHOWS deep store.
Under the snow the violet
Makes ready Its shy, sweet flower
Under the snow the glossy leaf,
The fern builds Its fragile tower
Under the hard, brown earth
The orchards flow without cease,
March toward the glorious outburst,
March toward the springs release.
Even the stones on the pathway,
Even each pebble and stone,
Shares In the forecast OF springtime.
