Wits End-there. at the end of the

What revealing volume could be

Saving Public Money

1t is gratifying that the Commissioners
have approved the use of abandoned Cardozo
High School by the Health and Recreation de-
partments. This is a good example of move
that is both sensible and economical.
The Health Department needs space for
a health clinic in the Cardoza section of the
city Until such time new facilities be
provided, there is ample room in the old Cardozo
building
Similarly, the Recreation Department has
felt an urgent need for indoor recreational
facilities in the mid-city area. Cardozo, with
a gymnasium an auditorium, showers and locker
rooms for men and women, and several other
rooms that can be used for games meetings,
craft and other purposes, is we'll adapted to the
need. And there will be ample space left for
the health clinic.
1t is not every day that such an opportunity
comes along to meet a community need and
also to give the taxpayer break. The officials
responsible for taking advantage of it are to
be commended

To say the least, no useful purpose was
served by Robert N. Dentom's statement that
there are some Communists and fellow travellers
among the National Labor Relations Boards
1,400 employees.
Maybe there are some. But Mr.. Denham,
although formerly the boards general counsel,
doesn't know who they are, and he admits he
has no real proof that there actually are any.
Without names and lacking proof, what good
purpose is served by firing broadside which
might splatter mud on any or all of 400 people?
In the argument which followed his &C
cusation at an American Veterans Committee
luncheon, Mr.. Denham said that when you are
dealing with the safety of the country and when
people are trying to hurt the country you can't
give them all of the protection of civil rights.
That may appeal to some people. But if they
will think it over they should conclude that the
country is not going to be saved by smearing
1<co PEOPLE on the chance that there may be
nc Communists among them.

luton that the best features Of both selective
service and universal military training be COM
bined in one broad program. This idea already
has been discussed at the Capitol. The immediate
manpower needs of the Army may not permit
of any modification of the present induction
program Nor is it likely that sufficient instruc-
tors and camps could be diverted to UNIT until
the million men needed for the new military
establishment have been obtained.
Eventually however, broad military train
ing-and service-program will be required to
maintain the armed forces at planned strength.
Lessons of the past indicate that temporary
expedients and half-measures are not enough
to insure the Nations safety.

Cinnamon Long Enough
By Bruce Borton

When I was youngster in Chicago
the reformers always were sniping at the
city administration and its principal
henchmen, Hinky Dink and Bathhouse
John. Along about election time the
voters would show signs of getting rest
less. Whereupon the Mayor would break
out in a rash of righteousness. Gambling
houses would be tipped off to lock up
their machines; saloons ordered to OBJ
serve the closing hour, and then =. 4.
there would be big raid on the Chinese
restaurants! The poor, Woodworking
Cinnamon were a soft target. They
couldn't speak English, and they had no
votes.
For the past so years businessmen
have been Washington's Cinnamon.
Theodore Roosevelt discovered how po-
liticalIy profitable and completely safe
it is to .defy them in the headlines.
Woodrow Wilson assailed the money
changers with a professional mien and
Old Testament vocabulary that gave his
indictments an aura of sanctity. F. D. r.
lifted anti-business demagogery into the
realm of the fine arts.
Ed. RS first election as Governor Of
New York was q close squeeze. He won
by less than $4,000 votes. Obviously.
strong medicine was indicated, If he were
to build up safe majority for re-
election &c. suddenly and without warm
ing, he let out heroic blast against the
public utilities. One of his longtime
friends, an honest utility official, went
= to Albany to breakfast with him at the
mansion whats ALI this about the
wicked utilities, Frank?" he asked.
The famous charm and the hearty
laugh were in the answer: why. Joe.
you ought to know" he said. There's
votes in them there kilowatts."
Taking leaf out of the book of these
master politicians, all the little politicos
have assumed that an anti-business
plaster is the sure cure for any sick
election. My old congressional colleague,
Manney Celler. recently started a much
touted investigation and, according to
precedent, subpoenaed first the president
of the biggest corporation, United States
Steel. which had long record Of taking
abuse lying down. To the surprise OF
Manney and every one else, Benjamin
Fairless, president of Steel, came through
with testimony so vigorous and coura-
geous that he stole the headlines and the
popular applause. Not much has been
heard of Manney since.
The Justice Department figured that
a crack at the A. & P. was surely good for
one more popular majority. But the
A. & P. went into the newspapers with
advertisements that raised such storm
of protest from housewives. who know
that A. IL P. sells good foods at lower
prices, that Mr.. McGrath is reported to
feel that he "shoulda stood in bed"
This is good news. The American
people like fight. They hope that BUSH
ness. having at last learned to speak
English, as the Chinaman never did, will
go on to learn how to translate its speech
into the popular support that means
votes-which the Cinnamon never had.
Businessmen have been Cinnamon long
enough.

A Spanish Policy at Last

The announcement from Lake Success that
we will vote to rescind the United Nations ban
on ambassadorial relations with Madrid means
that at last we have a Spanish policy which
makts some sense
Behind this decision lies an unadmirable
story of Grant craftsmanship. The tale begins
in 1916, when the Iron Curtain countries led an
attempt to persuade the Security Council to
take drastic measures against the Franco gov
eminent. They claimed that Spain was mill
tary threat to its neighbors but this was so
transparency false that we refused to go along
with it, and the move fell through That same
year, however, we did support successful effort
in the General Assembly to call upon member
nations to withdraw their ambassadors from
Madrid.
Plainly designed to weaken frances position
in Spain, this resolution, for which we voted,
was clear violation of the U. N. Charters
prohibition against interference in the internal
affairs of any country. 1t was also silly thing
to do, for the effect of the action, as we should
have known, was to strengthen Frances position
in Spain, not to weaken it.
In 1949 an attempt was made in the General
Assembly to rescind the 1916 resolution. BY
that time it had become perfectly clear that
the resolution was both moral fraud and
failure majority but not the required two
States, leader of the Western World did not
vote at all. Its delegates abstained when the vote
was taken because this Government lacked the
courage to rise above petty political considera-
lions and take stand as between right and
wrong.
Last January, however, it became clear that
we were going to reverse our Spanish policy, if
it could be called a policy. Even Democrats
close to the administration inner circle had
found that they could no longer stomach it, and
Secretary of State Acheson announced that when
the question again came before the Assembly
we would vote to rescind the 1916 action.
That is what we are getting ready to do
now, and it will be good days work when it
is done. The Spanish blunder has been serious
one, and it has reflected on the intelligence and
the integrity of both this Government and the
u. N. Blunders will always be made, however,
and the really important thing is that, even at
this late hour, we have had the courage to
acknowledge our mistake and the wisdom to
correct it.

A Fronkenstein Monster

The Hoover Commission report described the
Frankenstein monsterish proportions of the
Federal Governments record accumulation. A
commission chart showed the startling growth
of the paper pile since 1890 In that year there
were less than million cubic feet of records
in the various departments. During the next
decade they occupied more than triple that space
and by 1948 they had increased to nearly 20
million cubic feet. 1t can readily be seen, there
fore, that the General Services Administration
has undertaken an important and enormous job
in trying to consolidate this huge pile of
documents.
A Hoover task force found that it would
take half dozen buildings the size of the
Pentagon to house all the records which the
Government desires to preserve. (There are
those who remember that the Pentagon site
originally was chosen for great records storage
depot-and that when the war emergency
necesstated change of plans. there was talk
that the Pentagon Building would be used as
record warehouse after the was was over) The
General Services Administration, which, Incl
dentally, is product of the Hoover report, has
no Pentagons in which to store old documents,
but it is doing the best it can with the abandoned
Navy Torpedo Plant at Alexandria. There are
half million square feet of storage space at
the old plant. Since the records will be stacked
high it is estimated that some million square
feet of file space in Federal departments will
be released for more productive activities. Such
release of office space is extremely vital right
now in view of the influx of new employees under
the emergency defense program The goal is
to provide space for 10000 more workers.
There is an economy angle to the record
problem that is not generally recognized. The
Hoover experts estimated that the space costs
for the great volume of records now in Federal
departments aggregate about $40 million an
nually Every time file cabinet is removed
from Federal office to a record center the
Government saves approximately s27 year in
office expense. The establishment OF large
record center, therefore, would pay for itself
eventually There are more urgent Federal
projects to be considered now-but the time is
coming when some definite action along this
line will be required to save the executive estab-
lishment from being smothered by its own
records.
