Rich Mans Job

article titled That Poor Man in the White House. the current Golfers magazine, Jonathan Daniels expends good deal sympathy Mr. Truman But not for the ob vious reasons.
 may that Mr. Daniels appreciates the gravity of the decision the President had make regarding the atomic bomb He probably regrets that Mr. Truman is beset by rsome diplomatic problems abroad and economic problems at home Doubtless sorry that people scod Mr. Truman for gaddng about and that the Bapsts won't give him honorary degrees from their colleges because of the Chief Executives alleged enjoyment of occasional game of poker and hooker of bourbon.
 But what really moves MT Daniels to commserate with That Poor Man in the White Houses that the Presidency is costing Mr. Truman money besides saddng him with back breaking load of troubles and responsibilities.
 MT. Truman admittedly is not rich Both Roose- vets wel-todo So Hoover Coolidge made bus mess of being utrathrfty Harding had outside income Taft saved about $100 900 in four President But Mir Daniels points the cost of living since then, for Presidents as wei as the rest of us.
 The Presidential salary looks like lot of money$75, 900 year plus $3000 for travel and official entertaining But Mr. Daniels reminds the reader that Presidents aren't
 immune to income taxes He figures federal and state taxes cost Mr Truman about $47,O00 year.
 There also is large staff of White House servants whose meals out of the Presidents salary The rumans have cut down the staff from 3 to 24 Mr. Daniels But they still have foot the bill for something than 10000 meals That doesn't include their meals those of their unofficial guests who necessarily numerous And Mr. Truman can't toss his shirts in with the ernment household laundry have his suits cleaned at the taxpayers expense.
 Mr. Daniels estimates that the President forks annual S2OOO for White House expenses beyond what the government pays It modest figure And when you subtract that and from his pay leaves $000 for everything ese-othes insurance War Bonds party contr buttons etc. Since Mrs Truman must dress keeping with her position and since Margaret expected to look like the daughter of the First Family it doesn't leave much for bow ties nest egg for the future.
 Mr. Daniels leaves it that. But the unacceptable cuson is that the modest MT Truman probably should have asked for pay for the President when he urging salary increases almost everyone else Un less the counts highest office is to be reserved for rich only, it would that position which carries headaches and criticism than it does honor should at least pay enough leave the incumbent free from financial

own armies embarked upon 8 new adventure.
 On July 2 hastily assembled Imperial Conference in Tokyo reached decisions "on important national policies to meet the cur rent situation"
 On July "A the character of these important decisions was revealed when a Japanese fleet appeared off Indo- China and Japanese army proceeded to occupy that country in maneuver which plainly flank ed the Philippines and exposed those islands to attack.
 All of these events were matters of public knowledge. There was no secrecy about any of them. All of them were spread all over the front pages of the newspapers. All of them were talked about everywhere.
 Yet the astonishing fact remains that in the face of these clear and explicit warnings of danger the House of Representatives of the United States voted three weeks later-on Aug 12-to continue the Selective Service system only by the razor-edged vote of 203 to POP. On that decision the House Democrats voted 182 to 65 10 continue Selec- tive Service. The House Republicans voted 133 to 21 to end it.
 That was the narrow margin by which the American Army was kept from almost complete dissolution on the eve of Pearl Harbor.

THE END OF POINT RATIONING
 (NeW York Sum

Although meat supplies have been larger since rationing of certain grades and kinds was ended seven weeks ago, the announcement of the removal o fall rationing restrictions today from the sale of butter, other fats and canned fish, as well as meat, will please the nations fami- lies. Secretary Anderson makes it clear that this will not automatical- ly increase supplies of fats and oils, hence for part of the winter occas- 1 ional shortages may be expected. The livestock interests have been predicting a continuation vel Into 1946 of the shortage of pork and certain other meats, but apparently the Federal authorities look for no hardship in that direction. Through out the rationing period meat was the one commodity which was sub ject to more difficulties in the re- striction of its sale than an other. Evidence was cited which indicated that ignorance of the economic re- lationship between the supply of cattle and the supply of feeds was at the root of much trouble. A valuable lesson may well be drawn from studies of black market opera tions in meat so that in future emergencies such abuses of ration l ing can be reduced.

VERDICT ON BELSEN
(NeM York Timesl

(NeW York IimeS)
 Eleven death sentences meted out in the trial of the German tortur- CTS who ran the Belsen horror camp leave satisfying sense of stern yet impartial Allied justice Court pro- cedure was typically British, but the charge brought against the defendants was violation of inter national law under the usages of war All civilized nations, therefore, can stand behind the final verdict.
 The Russians, used to more summary justice, showed some inn patience at the length Of the trial But the presentation of the sicken- ing evidence to the last detail, the. untrammeled arguments of the de- fense' and the testimony of the prisoners themselves left no lin- gering doubt of their guilt. The record is clear and unequivocal. It cannot be rejected as incredible or manufactured It is the sifted proof of the bestial policy adopted by the rulers of Germany in the conduct of a ruthless war and for which these rulers themselves will soon be tried.
 Josef Kramer, the Beast of Bel sen," will hang. He was the trusted director of compound at Oswiecim who introduced the methods of mass murder employed there to the smaller but not less revolting camp at Belsen. He was practiced brute and sadist whose only defense was that he was acting under orders" Not less cruel was the personable 21-year-old Irna Grese, who will also hang. This specimen of Nazi youth derived special pleasure from whipping her victims and turning savage dogs loose on them. Nine others, including two women, face the gallows and nineteen more must serve various prison terms. Acquittal of fifteen of the defen- dants for lack of evidence testified to the courts careful discrimination All the guilty may appeal to Mar shal Montgomery for clemency. Whatever action that stern soldier may choose to take, the verdict of guilty in this first public trial of the Nazi system will be universally endorsed.

Washington Demands Suffrage

The People of the National Capital demanding their rights The Washington Post has given them chance to themselves the question of suffrage The Post has conducted Poll among residents of 800 city blocks which selected by the U S. Bureau of Census Top question put to the people by the Post Should they be allowed vote for local officials Federal offices both They piled For both local and Federal officials 8696 for local of fcials only, 3% for Federal officials only, 59o.
 Back in 1874 Congress that still fighting the Civil Var didn't have enough to handle the Negro question Democrats and Republicans decided to withdraw the Constitutional rights of Negroes in the District of Columbia. That Congress too cowardy to stick to Abraham Lncons pan that gave the vote to all in all parts of the United States without regard color So the political lords sacrificed the White along with the Negroes and kicked the elected local officials in Washington, by abolshng all local offices.
 For many Congress has been kidding the country with the ab that Constitutional Amendment necessary to restore the vote to Washington G. which is the eleventh largest city in population the United States The says that this class of legislation has been introduced troduced in sessions of Congress- only be pgeonhoed
 As matter of fact Washington, your Capital hasn't the simple recognition that granted all territories in the Nation before the last 36 of them admitted Statehood Congress has been playing with rckcards all these and the people of Washington have expressed themselves, overwhelmingly in the Post Poll The result appeal for recognition equal to that granted the the United States
 As matter of fact there isn't sembance or resen- bance to Democratic in the way Congress msapproprated power the District for the past 70 years. Good luck to the Washington Post.

chance to become commissioned officers
 Most significant the fact that only 10 per cent of the regular Navy menin other words those who hitherto had made career of the Navy-wanted to stay in after the The Nays poll was taken after careful consul taton with the Gallup experts and with the Elmo Roper experts, who take the Fortune Poll. It was sound professional job Experts were even flown to Oknawa and various parts of the Pacific in order to make that cross-section of Navy men were interviewed
 Furthermore the poll taken during the last week in July and the first week in August before the atom bomb was dropped and when the Navy was at the peak of its fighting If the poll had been taken during the postwar slack, when men are idle and restless. obviously it would have shown more anxiety to get back to peacetime life, Those who have studied this poll admit private ly that something is seriously wrong at the Navy's core One trouble they believe may be that officers trained in strategy, navigation and other tech- nical problems, but not in the human problem of handling
 Perhaps they feel, the Navy needs more of the Democratic spirit which Josephus Daniels tried to nstill at the close of the last war. Daniels in the act of putting through plans for enlisted mems study and advancement considered revolutionary by many Annapolis brasshats, when his term of office expired.
 Whatever the remedy here is one cross-section of the poll which Navy experts say is representative of all enlisted mems opinion, both reserves and reg ulars:
 Question: Do you want to stay definitely in the Navy?"
 Answers: "5 per cent, definitely yes; per cent probably yes; per cent probably not; 76 per cent definitely no; per cent, undecided"
 Question: Whether you plan to stay in the Navy or not, what are the advantages of staying in the regular Navy after the war?"
 Answer: Over 95 per cent-security" Question: If you do not want to stay in the Navy write down all the reasons for leaving"
 Answers: "60 per cent. caste system and dislike of officers. officers heels it's an off, cers Navy. enlisted man is always wrong. .; 16 per cent, lack of freedom. regimentation: Is per cent desire to be with family; per cent, lack of opportunity, uniform, miscellaneous" Note-Especially significant is the fact that not bunkrooms, discomforts as reason for wanting to leave the Navy.
