Police Bill Veto

In vetoing the bill to give the
metropolitan police control of the
investigation of felonies committed
In the parks and to transfer the
cost of maintaining the park police
to the Federal Government, the
President apparently has adopted as
his own the objections which Secre-
tary Ickes previously had raised
against the measure.
These objections are not impress
sive and they were rejected in both
the House and the Senate. In brief,
1t is contended that the limited
merger proposed by the bill would
require the park police to serve two
masters" and would therefore have
a demoralizing effect on them, that
1t would remove full authority
over the park police from the Sec
retary of the Interior, who has
exclusive control Of the park system,
and that it might result in failure
of any appropriation for the pay
ment of the salaries and other
expenses of the park police affected
by the bill
All of these objections were sub
mitted to Congress, were considered
carefully and were held to be with
out merit. AS practical matter,
the burden of investigating felonies
in the parks falls on the metro
politan police because the park police
are not equipped for this type of
work. The bill would simply have
conferred on the former the author
ity that should accompany respon-
Sibility. 1t is undoubtedly true that,
under the bill, Secretary Ickes would
no longer have full authority over
the park police in the sense that
they would be subject to the control
of the metropolitan police while
actually investigating felonieS. But
if this is serious objection, there
were no facts or arguments recited
in the veto message to support it.
The third criticism has merit if
one assumes that Congress would
make no alternative provision for
park police officers removed from
the District payroll. When this point
was raised in the House, however,
the reply was that a deficiency
appropriation would solve the prob
lem, and it is hardly to be supposed
that Congress would transfer the
park police to Mr. Ickes' payroll and
then refuse to appropriate for their
salaries.
In any event, the effect of this
veto is to leave the Interior De-
partment in full control of the park
police while requiring the taxpayers
of the District to pay the salaries
of the great majority of these
officers. Congress expressly recog-
nized the injustice of this arrange
ment, and neither the President nor
Mr.. Ickes denies that it is, unfair.
But in the case of the voteleSs
residents of the District, it is one
thing to recognize an injustice, quite
another to correct it. In this in
stance, Congress, primarily through
the efforts of Representative Hebert,
has sought to deal fairly with the
people of the Capital, and it still has
power to correct the fiscal inequity
even though it may not care to
override the Presidents judgment
as to the other questions involved.

Where Germuny's Heurt Is

From the London Sunday Chronicle.
In few years time some one will get
up on platform and tell us: "The
Germans were not so bad after all"
Perhaps some woolly minded people will
murmur agreement and write letters to
the papers about "the poor Germans"
Perhaps we shall hear again the same
deluded people who lost the last peace
by dragging out the tattered lies of Ger
man innocence. Then will be the time
to tell again the sickening stories of
Buchenwald and Belsen and Ohrdruf
and NortihauseY

Numerous special issues and

Since the United States enter

creased considerably more, but
that gain was largely caused by
addition TO listings OF vast

Industrial production held at

Romano Urged
10 Assist in
East Detroit Acts
to Regain Loss

EAST DETROIT - This city,
faced with taxation losses on
S1O0, 900 worth of property now
under the veterans tax exemp-
ton classification has appealed
10 Rep. William Romano to
champion its plea for a state re-
bate of tax money lost in this
manner.
Contacted by City Clerk Ste
phen r. Henderson, Romano
telegraphed Wednesday that q
bill to prove state compensation
for communities may reach the
House this week, and asked for
further advice concerning it.
Henderson said he had confer
red with Mayor Richard Max
we'll and councilmen and they
will ask Romano to do every
thing possible to support the
measure.

Communities have frequently
criticised the state for "gener-
ously" lifting current taxes and
past delinquencies on home
steads of veterans up to a $4,000
valuation - the loss in taxes
having a serious effect on COM
munities. @
While not opposing any assist
ance of this type to servicemen,
Henderson and other county Of
ficials have maintained that the
state should rebate financial aid
to cities and villages from its re-
ported S11O,O00.0O0 surplus. On
Wednesday East Detroit, Mount
Clemens and other city Off
Gals of Macomb County received
from Mayor Edward Jeffries, Of
Detroit, a complete statement
on the rosy state financial pic
ture. together with arguments
for the state sharing funds with
communities.

NEW YORK-W.p-Valuation
of all stocks listed on the New
York Stock Exchange rose by
$4,000 100000 during 1914 10
new high since 1887 in the gen.
eral average, while bonds also
made new seven-year tops.
The year ended on a rising
market induced by a new de-
mand for war material ana
statements by high-ranking ar
my and navy leaders the end OF
the conflict still was far off.
Earlier in the year there had
been several interruptions 10 the
rise based mainly on peace
scares." Wall street would well
come peace and resumption OF
civilian output, but the trading
element fears that the transition
period may be difficult one.
Hence each time the end OF the
war appeared in sight they sold
stocks as a precautionary mea-
sure.
Experts are agreed that the
new year may have similar I'M
settling markets. They foresee
a highly selective trading.
The postwar era is expected
to find the United States swing
ing more and more TO an inter
nationalistic attitude. AS a re-
suit, many are predicting heavy
listings of foreign stocks here.
Volume ahead is not expected
to reach the variety Of 1929
which set an all time record, but
an increase of moderate proper
tions is foreseen. The 1914 vol
ume around 258,000,000 srares
compared with 278,74l, 765 in
1943.
Railroad stocks and bonds
were the outstanding performers
of the year. They led their re-
spective markets higher and the
rail stock average showed an
appreciation of more than 33
per cent as compared with the
close of 1943.

Rural Bathtubs and Toilets

A bill was recently introduced in Con- greSs to establish Rural Telephone Ad- ministration, on the theory that not suf- ficient number of farmers have tele- phones There was the minor item Of $100,000,000 for annual expenditures by the new RITA which would be set up with highly paid appointed officials perma- nently on the taxpayers necks
 While no survey" has been made, 1t is likely that there are more farmers without modern bathtubs and patent toilets than there are without telephones. Therefore, it would seem reasonable to suggest that Rural Bathtub and Toilet Administration be established, with ln- SpectorS to check all the farm houses. A project of this kind could spend hundreds of millions of dollars year of the taXpay- CTS money instead of mere hundred million. Of course, the United States has more telephones, bathtubS and toilets than all the rest of the world, which in- dicateS that none of the industries in- volved have been sleeping at the switch, and they probably will move faster after the war to see that their services and products reach the maximum number of people, than would any government bur- eau.
 Just why the government should use a back entry, disguised as Rural Tele- phone Administration, to get it's foot into the door of the telephone business, is hard to understand, except it is part of the general program of those who would so- cialize American industry. And tele- phone in every farm house, whether it is needed or not, is good bait to win public approval of Federal spending which slowly but surely curbs individual incen- tive, opportunity, and, ultimately, liber- ty itself.

Better Medical Talent

We anticipate considerable progress in the administration of our veterans hospitals throughout the nation under the leadership of the recently appoint ed administrator, Gen. Omar Bradley. To date the organization of the major ity of these hospitals las been static and sluggish.
 Perhaps the greatest need of these ln- stitutions is for a better grade medical staff, in the majority In many of these hospitals the staff is manned by medical men who were unsuccessful in private practice or by young medical graduates looking for a quick stake" to finance the initial costs of setting up prac- tice. This hardly is fair to the veteran the best of treatment as is due them.
 The answer has to be a much higher annual salary for these medical men, thus making the position attractive enough to induce alert, up-to-date and sincere men seeking to make a career with the government through the Veter- ans Administration. At present a doctor is offered $3,800 annually to start, and certainly that is no inducement.
 It is ironical, to say the least, that we spend billionssi in prosecuting a war and then turn about and stint on our expenditures to assure the men, who fought the war, the best in medical care and treatment. It is an insult to these men and to their loved ones.
 Let us hope that progressive measures will be adopted along these lines, by General Bradley to correct a sad con- d&tion

Gardner's aith

For victory gardeners eager to do their full part toward augmenting the food supply in this year when the best this nation can do for hungry world will not be enough, this has been dis couraging spring Every spring is tenn peramental, but this one has been warm and cold, wet and dry, sunny and cloudy at the wrong times.
 The warm weather came early, some of it in the last days of winter, and gave growing things hearty encouragement to get a several weeks start on the sea- son. Then came unusually late frosts in many areas accompanied by inter- mittent rains and low temperatures. So many gardeners are behind in their planting and many of those who are abreast of their schedule will have much of their work to do over because warm weather crops routed in the ground.
 But even under adverse conditions the gardener can count on some return for his effort And can hope that weather from now on will be ideal and lost time will be made up. Indeed, he knows for a certainty, barring a year without summer" that he can count on pleas ant surprises as well as disappointments. The amateur gardener must diversity his investments and some of them will always pay a profit. He can bide his time in good heart, with faith in the future, if he keeps on doing the best he can

Views Of The Press
IS THIS LOOPING: Christian Science Monitor

Too many reports of soldiers cas- ually picking up civilian possessions in Europe are coming to light. Some of the newspapers have been carry ing picture showing a boy display ing dial telephone which, the un- derlines say, his father, a senior American army officer, jerked from the wall of German farmers home. If, as it appears. this was civilian telephone. doesn't this constitute footing? Possibly there Is a legitimate explanation for the incident. But certainly officers should take care to set a right example for the enlisted personnel.
 The Army undoubtedly has a rule against this sort of pilfering, but it seems to be loosely enforced. Picking up military souvenirs from the slain enemy, the battlehelds, or dump heaps Is one thing. Seiz- ing the property of civilians is ar- other. Any American can picture how he would feel if an invader should enter his home and steal his radio. a picture, or a prized book.
