WASHINGTON
The youngest of the ten de-
partments of the United States
Government has the youngest
Under Secretary in this, or almost
anv other administration. Labor
Is the department, and David A.
Morse is the fOrty-year-Old rank
ing aide Of Secretary David
Schwellenbach.
Morse rose through the govern
ment ranks to his present top po-
sition. In the latest stage, pro-
motion from Assistant to Under
Secretary of Labor, he had to be
pushed, practically across the At
lantic Ocean. He was in Geneva
attending the international Labor
Organization Conference, as the
American member of the lilo di-
recting body. Word came from
Washington for him to return. He
had plans to go. to Rome and
Berlin for consultations with
American officials, and therefore
cabled that he was not yet ready
to return. Washington insisted.
He resisted. It took ten days to
convince him he was really wanted
at home. When he arrived in
Washington, his associates gibed:
you're the first guy who had to
be pulled in for Under Secretary"
In the previous years of his ca
reer Morse pulled hard and in a
variety Of directions. His family
background, Indirectly, helDed in
culcate a necessary quality for a
labor policy maker, namely, the
ability to fit parts into a harmon
iOus whole. MOrse's father was a
cabinet maker who became a nat
iOnally known expert on early
American antiques. Young David.
early showing his future admins
trative prOwess, was elected presi-
dent of his elementary schools
YMCA. His extra-curricuIar ac-
uvities included private instruc-
ton in Hebrew from the local
Rabbi in the small New Jersey
rural community Of SOmerviIIe.
After graduation from Harvard
Law School, Morse briefly served
as clerk in a Newark law firm,
tnen went to Washington where
ne became a member of the So
mcltor's staff Of the Interior De-
partment, in 1888. Secretary Har-
Olu 1ckes soon appointed him
General Counsel of the newly
treated Petroleum Labor Policy
noard. He had no sooner moved
nto that office before he was
transferred to the Justice Depart
ment as special assistant to the
attorney General, to try oil cases.
MOrse's first real labor expert
O"Ce came with the formation of
'"e National Labor Relations
Board in 1885. His former dean

now judge of the first Circuit

Senator Cain added in his talk to

employers. He said he prefers to
have the clause eliminated.
He said he also wants to see elm

Over Comments on Drinkinq

Halsey wrote that ito q man who
has just had a tense, hazardous
fight or wet watch, there is no
substitute for tot of sound spirits. "
Accordingly. he said, he obtained
100 gallons of whisky for his flyers.
II don't remember" he wrote, IF 1t
ever was approved oflcially"
The Methodist Board commented: !:
IN discussing his air training, Ad-
miral Halsey says that he went on
the water wagon for full year.
However, he took upon himself
the responsibility for having issued
to pilots who might be called back to
duty at any moment, habit-form-
ing, irritant, anesthetic drug, the use
of which he very sensibly believed
might endanger his own neck when
he was at the controls of an air
plane.
Breach Of Discipline Seen.
1--WE do not believe that Admiral
Halsey thinks more of his own neck
that Of the necks of the young men
who are under his command. We
are inclined to believe that he gave
no thought at all to the possibilities
involved in his astonishing breach OF
Navy discipline.
In view of Admiral Halsey's pub
lished statements as to his habits
and actions - =" the board said. lit
becomes entirely proper to discuss
the possible effects of his attitude
toward alcohol upon the discharge
Of his duties in place of enormous
responsibility.
. Lest there be any misunderstand-
ing, let us say now, that if Admiral
Halsey has ever in his life been in
toxicated, we do not know it."

been widespread, although behind

him to do

For all they know. the Methodists
continued, Admiral ,Halsey was
drinking nothing stronger than cof-
fee at the time.
I'VE do know" they continued,
that the man who was tricked into
doing what the Japanese wanted
him to do was not the man who so
accurately and brilliantly assessed
the situation when he advised the
immediate invasion of Leyte, who
conceived the sweep of the China
Sea, who executed the devastating
strikes on the Philippines and the
approaches to the Philippines"

.14-hiI|ion Budget
May Mean Sales Tax
Here, Cain Warns

Unless the $144,000, 900 budget re-
quested by District department
heads to finance the city through
the year beginning July / is cut
drastically, higher taxes-possibly a
sales tax-may have to be levied
against Washington residents.
This was predicted today bv
Chairman Cain of the Senate Dis
trict Fiscal Affairs subcommittee
who has just returned from his
home State Of Washington and an
Alaskan trip.
Senator Cain, who played key
part in the drafting of the city,s
revenue program of last July. said
however, he is not yet ready to
introduce a sales tax bill. He said
ne would press for enactment Of
his pending bill to repeal the city's
personal income levy which was
crippled during the last session
with an amendment exempting all
Federal salaries earned here.
The Washington Republican has
consistently denounced the amend
ment sponsored by Representative
OHara. Republican, of Minnesota
as discriminatory and unfair"
He pointed out that I'VE had a
hard time" financing the capitals
$s5,516,oO0 budget this year. Dis
trict department heads originally
hao asked for s135, 900 900.
IF the demonstrated needs of the
city for next year are much greater
than for l947," Senator Cain de-
clared, you may have to have some
additional levies, maybe q sales
tax"
Senator Cain has favored a sales
tax personally as a revenue pro-
ducing measure but Representative
Bates, Republican, of Massachu-
sets, chairman of the House Fiscal
Subcommittee for the District, is
strongly opposed to sales taxes.
Senator Cain said he hoped the
Senate and House fiscal groups could
act jointly on Washington's tax
problems in the next session, and
added that he would resume CO.
operating with the House subcom-
mittee.

Passage Of Measure
10 Control Pollution
Urged by Revercomt

Senator Revercomb, Republican, OF
West Virginia, has expressed the
nope to his constituents that legis-
lation to aid in the control and
abatement Of stream pollution would
soon be enacted by Congress.
In a broadcast yesterday over
West Virginia stations, Senator
Revercomb said that while no steps
should be taken to destroy the places
OF production and work, every means
should be taken within that nmita-
tion to cleanse the waters of this
country.
1T is a question OF the health of
our people the Senator said, "and
certainly IS a matter OF grave public
concern"
Discusses Pollution Bill,
The West Virginia Senator, who is
chairman OF the Senate Public
Works Committee. discussed the
Barkley- pollution control bill
which passed the Senate at the last
session of Congress and will be pend
ing before the House when Congress
convenes.
The bill has been Endorsed by the
Interstate Commission on the Po-
tomac River Basin and other pollu-
tion control agencies.
Senator Revercomb explained
that under the bill loans would be
authorized to States, cities, inter-
state agencies and industries in
amounts not to exceed one third of
the cost OF control of pollution
abatement projects.
The program would be prepared
by the Public Health Service.
Policy Outlined.
THE policy. under the proposed
law. is to encourage cooperative
activities between the States to-
ward abatement Of pollution condi-
tons the Senator said.
The Federal Government does
not step in to take over absolute
control of the question but has left
1t up to the localities and the States
to say whether or not they desire
their waters clear and clean and aid
is offered to bring about this needed
cleasing of our streams and har-
bors."
This bill offers the opportunity
to proceed with this good work.
There is no reason why within
few years, the pollution of the wa
ters of this country should not be s.
minimized so as to remove a menace
to health that threatens to grow
yearly"
Members on Cruise.
Meanwhile members of the Inter-
state Commission on the Potomac
River Basin, who returned yester-
day from three day cruise on the
Chesapeake Bay as guests of Mary
land, were making plans for an ac-
tive campaign to correct pollution
in the Potomac River In the Wash
ington area.
Already, commission members
pointed out, much has been done
that will show results within the
next year. In the near future sew
age from the Maryland suburban
area will be treated at the Blue
Plains plant, thus correcting q seri-
Gus condition in the Anacostia River.
Conferences will be held in an ef-
fort to speed plans to correct pollu-
tion from Virginia communities, and
1t Is expected that other towns be-
tween Washington and the Cumber-
land area soon will begin plans to
treat their sewage.
