President Kept Casey
So Busy He Erred on
Taxes, Defense Says
By the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Mar. 15.-Attorneys
for Eugene B. Casey, charged with
evading $70,384 in Federal income
taxes, said today the Gaithersburg
farmer and consulting engineer
filed incorrect returns because he
was busily engaged on missions as
executive secretary to President
Roosevelt.
Mr.. Casey, who is AZ, pleaded in
nocent to fraud charges in Federal
Court yesterday.
The Government contends his in
come for the years 1s41-3 was $171,-
826, but that he reported only $751;
210. While his taxes should have
amounted to $89,169, Government
attorneys said, he actually paid only
$18,785.
Careless Accounting Blamed.
I'VE are in practically complete
agreement with the Government in
the matter" Defense Attorney Will
liam Curran, until recently Mary
lands attorney general, told the
court.
THE vital matter is: Did he
fraudulently make up his income
tax return? Did he set out to cheat
and defraud the Government? We
say no-a very emphatic mol"
The defense laid the deficiencies
to careless, sloppy accounting" in
preparing Mr.. Casey's returns. A
neighborhood school teacher pre-
pared the papers, Mr.. Curran said.
Casey Asked Check of Returns.
| United States Attorney Bernard
j. Flynn acknowledged Mr.. Casey
himself had brought on the Gov

deducted Office expenses illegally,

Italian Bitterness Oyer Treaty
May Be Exploited at Election
By Constantine Brown
Stor Foreign Affoirs Analyst

| The fighters, recruited from
among trained officers and men of
the Italian military and naval
forces, knew their job. After few
weeks of further training with Allied
weapons they were dropped in Nor
thern Italy. It was thanks to these
men that Northern Italy's indus
trial productive capacity declined
only 10 per cent as result Of the
war. They defeated all attempts by
the Germans and pro-Axis Italians
to destroy those plants.
These italian contributions are
one cause, then, of resentment
against the peace treaty.
There is no specific point to which
the italians take exception. They
simply feel that 'bad faith" has
been shown by the Anglo-Saxon
nations, who made definite pledges
which they have failed to keep. That
the United States has become
'Europeanized" has made a deeper
impression on the Italians than the
unfair treaty terms. The italians are
used to power politics ana diplomatic
trickery. They have applied them
themselves in the past. But they
were convinced that America was
above such evils.
We Made Formal Promises.
The co-belligerancy which we Of
fered the Italians in October, 1943,
as a reward for entering the war on
our side was not an empty express
sion. 1t contained formal promises
that after the Nazi defeat Italy
would not be harshly treated and
her honest efforts to atone the
crimes of Mussolini and his cohorts
would be recognized. ........
The fact that italy was not to be
included within the Russian zone,
but was to be made into a "bastion
of democracy"-these are not
italian but British and American
words used in pourparlers with
Italy's leader-encouraged the
people of Italy to think that they
were to get fair treatment.
The italians do resent having to
pay a higher territorial price than
Romania and Bulgaria, whose only
virtues are that they have become
Russian satellites.

Eisenhower Offered
Morgenthau Plan for
Germany, Editor Says
By the Assoeioied Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 15.-Fred
Smith. a wartime Treasury De-
partment aide, says the idea for
the plan of Henry Morgenthau,
tr., to reduce Germany to pow
erful agrarian nation was suggested
originally by Gen. Eisenhower.
Mr.. Smith said in an article yes
terday in the United Nations World,
of which he is an editor, that Gen.
Eisenhower first suggested the idea
August 7, 1914, in a tent In South
ern England during a conversation
with the then Secretary of the
Treasury. Harry D. White, Nor
genthau assistant, and Mr.. Smith.
The United Nations world is an
unofficial monthly magazine de-
voted to U. N. news.
Germans Called Paranoid.
The War Department said Gen.
Eisenhower was not available i'm
mediately for comment on the Smith
article.
Mr.. Smith, who titled his article,
'rThe Rise and Fall of the Nor
genthau Plan," said:
"The general declared he saw
no purpose served in treating a
'paranoid' gently, and the whole
German population is a synthetic
paranoid. All their life the Ger
man people have been taught to be
paranoid in their actions and
thoughts, and they have to be
snapped OUT of it. The only way
to do that is to be good and
hard on them. 7 certainly see no
point in bolstering their economy
or taking any other steps to help
them"
Mr.. Smith said that when Mr..
Mor2enthau presented the plan to
Winston Churchill, Britain's prime
minister, Mr.. Churchill began by
explaining to the Secretary that
England was bankrupt, and as soon
as the war was over he would let
England know it was bankrupt"
Churchill Opposed Plan Later.
"The Secretary" Mr.. Smith con-
tinued. came away from the meet
ing convinced that the Prime Min
lister, while having certain minor
reservations, was supporter.
"1t is possible that Churchill left
tie meeting convinced that he had
found the Achilles heel in the man
who, on the Presidents order, was
determined to limit the British dol
lar balance at all costs -"
Mr.. Churchill, Mr.. Smith said,
later violently opposed" the plan
at the Ottawa conference with Pres
ident Roosevelt. but that after An
thopy Eden, former British foreign
secretary, supporter, arrived at the
meeting the plan became Allied
policy"
But the charter for Germany
died of neglect" Mr.. Smith said.

Mr.. Kelly was killed by a holdur

the possibility that a stray bullet
ricocheted off the street and struck
him in the shoulder.

ROME, (By MaiD Italy con-
tributed to the war against Ger
many to the full extent permitted
by us. AS a consequence, there is
strong feeling against the peace
treaty throughout the country which
may be exploited shrewdly at the
forthcoming elections.
This is the opinion of responsible
American and British naval ano
military. men who have been in Italy
since her surrender in 1943.
The Italian air force played ar
unspectacular, but important, role
after October 13, 1943. Because all
Allied transport planes were fully
committed during the campaign
against the Nazis, we employed the
italian air force to drop supplies to
Marshal Tito's Partisans in Yugo-
slavia.
Without the collaboration OF the
Italian air force Marshal Tito's
guerrilla warfare against the Ger
mans would have been even less
effective than it was.
ItaIIan troops served wen.
Marshal Badoglio offered the only
remaining well-organized army unit
the Alpini, to be used against the
Germans. At first this offer was
turned down, but in the spring of
1914 the first italian division was
used in the battle line and gave a
very creditable performance" The
quotation is from an official British
report.
In the summer of 1914 Field Mar
shall Alexander's armies had been
sadly depleted in order to mount the
Normandy invasion and offensive In
Southern France. He also had tc
detach two divisions for duty in
Greece. Marshal Alexander flew .tc
London and obtained his govern
ment's authority to raise and train
six Italian divisions. Five of these
actually were trained and equipped
in time to be used at the front before
the German surrender. ..

slider the contribution of the italian
partisans as most effective and sur

any other country throughout the
