Straight From
Washington
By STEPHEN Nj. YOUNG
Congressman at Large-OhiO

Washington.-"Be a good boy,
study hard, go to Sunday school
and you will be President some
day." the doting Mamas would tell
their little boys. Now Mama would
do we'll to change that record. Life
time ambitions to be President
don't seem to pay off. Witness
Thomas E. Dewey, Paul V. McNutt,
Bob Taft, John Bricker, Harold E.
Stassen, to mention few. Look at
Harry S. Truman, who never even
thought about it, nor wanted to be
President. He was astonished to be
drafted for the Vice Presidency in
1914. Now he has very binding
and definite four year lease on a
certain white house. There are
many who say that, now on his
own, he will become one of this
nations truly great Presidents.
Here in the Capitol some prescient
Congressman say that we are in
an Era of Good Feeling, such as
history terms the Administration
of James Monroe more than a CEN
tury and a quarter ago.
Not Hard To Take
In 1943 President Truman then
United States Senator, was forced
to borrow to pay income taxes on
his ten thousand dollar salary as
Senator. During the next four
years, he should not be up against
it financially. He can even afford
to increase the allowance of his
Missus and give Margaret extra
money for clothes. Congress pass
ed a law hiking the take home"
pay of the President of the United
States to more than ninety thous-
and dollars a year.
iJ-Under the provisions of this new
legislation President Truman will
receive one hundred thousand dol
lars per year as salary, upon which
he will pay income taxes; and
ninety thousand dollars tax exempt
expense allowance.
The idea of raising the Pres
ident's pay is something President
Truman didn't start. The Hoover
Commission, headed by former
President Herbert Hoover, recon-
mended this increase. You may
safely bet the President was happy
to approve this bill and make it a
law
Of last years Presidential can
didates, Henry Wallace is the veal
thiest and Harry Truman the poor

OF Use Koch to Reich Officials

Huebner is Army commander in
Europe.
The 42-year-old widow of the
former commander of Buchenwald
faces five major charges in a Ger
man court, including the DELHI
crate Staying of "a German Jewish
prisoners in 194l.
She is accused of having armed

The German court will try hel

This charge reads:
In the summer of 1910 the de-
fendant wrote the number of two
prisoners who were working with
out shirts and were very con-
spicious for their tattoos. Both
were ordered to come to the hos
pital two days later. where they
were killed by injections and their

Florida New Statute
Banning Wire Service
To Bookies Is Upheld
BY the Associated Pres.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Oct. IS
Florida's new anti-bookie wire
service law won its first court
fight today.
Circuit Judge w. May Walker
upheld validity of the law and
dismissed an attack brought on it
by four individuals and the Radio
Program Press service of Balti-
more.
The law, which created legis-
lative storm during both the 1948
and 1949 sessions, prohibits pri-
vate telephone and telegraph wire
service to race track bookmakers.
Enforcement of the law has been
delayed pending Judge Walkers
decision.
Constitutionality Questioned.
The Baltimore company, listing
John D. McImerney. Bilson ING
and H. E. Bilson as directors,
attacked the law on grounds it
violated both the State and Fed
ca al SOi1oGlUuO1OAlo.
It also was attacked on grounds
it assumed control over matters
now under jurisdiction of the Fed
eral communications Commission
and was discriminatory in that it
granted special privileges to news
papers-Which are exempt from it's
provisions.
In a memorandum attached to
his order dismissing the suit,
Judge Walker said the law does
not Offend the commerce clause,
due process clause or any other
provision of the Constitution of
the United States or of the State
of Florida"
Judge Cites Usage.
Judge Walker said the firm does
not deny that information trans
mitted over private wires used by
| it sis being used for gambling or
for gambling purposes" or is being
purchased by the firms customers
for use and used entirely for
gambling or for gambling pur-
poses"
The Judge said it has been log
ically and properly held" by other
courts that the United States Con-
stitution give Congress exclusive
jurisdiction to regulate interstate
commerce but mot interstate
crime"
wagering bets on horse races
cannot be an article of commerce,
no more than could lottery bust
ness. Both are immoral and
deleterious to society and clearly
within the power of States to pro-
hibit."

MUNICH, Germany. Oct. Is
The United States Army issued
orders today for secrecy in the
release to German authorities

mistress of the Buchenwald con-
centration camp.

Johnson S Economies
Defended byCitizens
For Hoover Report

The Citizens Committee for the
Hoover Report came to the sup
port of Defense Secretary john
son yesterday and said that in his
economy program he is setting
the pattern through which the
entire Hoover Commission re-
port can be translated into eff
cheney and economy in Govern
ment."
The committee said that months
ago DR.. Robert L. Johnson, CON-
mittee chairman, was told by Sec
rotary johnson that "he knew he
was in for a fight when he under
took uniflcation of the armed
services under the Tydings bill
But Secretary johnson is a
fighter by nature and he is deter
mined to carry through his vital
program Of drastic economy" the
committee said. . 1t added that
the Secretary received "a very
heavy mail as the result of his first
economy move and the over
whelming majority of the letters
were favorable.
Huge Savings Seen.
Chairman johnson urged citi-
zens to inform their representa-
tives in Congress of their approval
OF the unif1cation program.
The committee said Secretary
Johnson's first strong program"
OF reforms is estimated to save
S500,000,000 in the next fiscal
year and additional reforms can
mean further savings of at least
81 900, 100000
According to the Navy. some of
these projected savings would re-
suit in scuttling it's air arm.
However, an authoritative source
said yesterday that in at least two
instances Mr.. Johnson had in
creased the Nays proposed fight
ing strength in the 1851 fiscal year
without any representation of the
Nays top command.
This source said Mr.. johnson
had ordered:
l. The number of major aircraft
carriers to be operated in the 1851
fiscal period be increased from
four to six. Eight are now being
operated and the Air Force had
proposed that all of them be put
in mothballs.
2. The number of air groups for
use on such carriers be increased
from six to nine. Fourteen are now
in operation.
Unhappy About Other Phases.
The proposed operating
strengths for the Navy were placed
before Mr.. johnson by Gen. Brad
ley. the chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, of which Admiral
Louis E. Denfeld, chief of naval
operations, is a member.
While the citizens group SUD-
porting the Hoover report looked
with favor on Secretary Johnson's
program, it was unhappy about
what It, saw elsewhere. It said
that "the three most important
fields of reorganization now be-
fore us-post Office, personnel
management and budgeting and
accounting" are completely
hung up"
1t deplored delaying tactics"
against what it said were two of
the most innocuous" recon-
mendations of the Hoover Com
mission. 1t said a measure au-
thorizing study of overseas adj
ministration breezed through the
Senate but now is dying a slow
death in two committees of the
House. Another measure to pro-
vide for study of Federal-State
relations, sponsored by almost 20
Senators, has been stymied for
months. the committee said,

NEW
WATER SYSTEM
New Pump House and Well
near Site of Old
Stand Pipe
WATER BEING TESTED

! Samples of water were taken for
analysis by the State Board of
Health on Monday, as the towns
water supply was tested after
passing through the aerator which
has been built at the new water
pumping station located at High
and Commerce Streets at the west
ern edge of Smyrna, near the site
of the old stand pipe. The concrete
block building, 81 feet long and 20
feet wide, overall measurements,
houses Layne turbine pump over
a we'll 98 feet deep, from which the
water is pumped into the room in
which is the aerator, through
which the water passes, is broken
up so that more oxygen enters the
water. The water falls into
large tank surrounding the aerator,
and then passes through pipes into
another pump which pumps it into
the mains. On Monday, when pre-
liminary tests were being made,
$50 gallons of water per minute
were flowing through two fire
hoses. The water, viewed after be-
ing aerator, is clear and sparkling.
The building has been designed
large enough so that if needed in
the future, there is space to put
in lime room and chlorinator
room, also another pump and well
pump. Four electric heaters have
been installed to keep the water
from freezing in winter. The aer-
ator was built by Pleasanton and
Edgell, Dover, in accordance with
plans of the town engineers. After
the results of the tests by the State
Board of Health are known, plans
will be made for a formal opening
when the water is turned into the
station, and the public starts using
the aerated water. This will prob
ably be within a short time.
