ment where they might in any

Senator Wherry emphasized the
point and said homosexuals are
generally regarded as bad security
risks because of their suscepti-
bility to blackmail.
The Wherry report also said
that, in testimony before the sub
committee, there was feeting
reference to a trail of homosexuals
leading to foreign embassy here.
There was no elaboration on the
point, and the embassy was not

Sergt. James K. Hunter. head
of the Metropolitan Police Special
Investigations Squad, witness
before the subcommittee, was
quoted in the Wherry report as
estimating there are 1000 bad
security risks now walking the
streets of Washington"
On the basis of testimony by
1t. Blick and Sergt. Hunter, Sen
ator Wherry suggested that con-
sideration be given for an emer-
gency appropriation for the Police
Department "for suppression of
the crime of homosexualism and
surveillance of subversive forces. :"
1t. Blick was quoted as saying
only four officers were assigned to
detection of homosexuals. Sergt.
Hunter was reported as saying
only two policemen were detailed
to checking on subversives.
Senator Wherry criticized the
lack of system that would pre-
vent homosexuals discharged by
one Government agency from OBJ
tanning employment in another.

In this connection, he said a

Department as homosexuals since
1947 were employed thereafter by
other Government agencies. AS a
result of his complaint, the re-
port said, the Civil Service Com
mission investigated and found il

Senator Hill Proposes
Complete Inquiry Into.
Hiring Of UndesirabIes.

A resolution calling for a full
and complete" investigation of
the employment of homosexuals
by the Federal Government is
pending in the Senate today.
The resolution was introduced
late yesterday by Senator Hill,
Democrat, of Alabama, on behalf
of the District Subcommittee Of
the Senate Appropriation Com
mittee.
Earlier, the subcommittee unan-
imously had indorsed the sug-
gested investigation on the basis
of reports submitted by Senator
Hill and Senator Wherry, Repub-
lican, of Nebraska. The two Sen
ators, at the direction of the SUBJ
committee, have been looking into
the matter for several weeks.
Both Senators submitted sepa-
rate reports, quoting 1t. Roy Blick,
head of the Metropolitan Police
Vice Squad, as estimating there
are at least 5000 homosexualS in
Washington and that $3.50 of
them are employed by the Federal
Government.
The police officer also was
quoted as estimating that "be-
tween 300 and 400" suspected
homosexuals are employed in the

To the Editor:
The present inventory tax as
sessment in Arizona apparently
causes undue hardship to our
business merchants. 1t is their
general opinion that the tax IS
discriminatory and in cases of in
solvent merchants, possibly con-
fiscatory. Consequently, the tax
is obviously inequitable and def
initely violates our democratic
principles of free enterprise.
It was the intent of our nation
al and state law makers that all
taxes assessed be equitably ap-
portioned among the taxpayers.
The unanimity of the objections
and protests by merchants is in
dicative of the unreasonableness,
and unfairness of this tax.
A group known as the INVEN-
TORY AND PERSONAL PROP
.ERTY EQUALIZATION OR
GANIZATION, is being formed
for the purpose of altering the
present inventory tax and work
ing out ways and means for get
ting relief from this burdensome
tax. Spearheading the campaign
are: Irving Kipnis, w. Edward
Morgan and myself.
County assessor, Leo J. Finch,
in recognition of our previous
protest has granted a reduction
of 1870, that is from 500 to As
% of the inventory, for computa-
ton of the present tax.
Merchants interested in further
relief are requested to contact
any of the above individuals. We
can exert a serious influence on
the tax authorities only if we
have a substantial membership.
An organization with at least $50
merchants would be more in
keeping with the gravity of the
matter.

LESSONS FROM KOREA

All OF us have to learn about the kind of
warfare which, though it is ScOrned and de-
plored and even Outlawed by the military
scientists of Western Europe and America
is the normal and fundamental technique of
war throughout the Eurasian continent. The
Communists call it peoples war;" We call
II guerrilla war. Though American expert
ence OF guerilla warfare is very limited and
long out of date, guerilla warfare of one kind
or another is the normal form of combat in
most OF Asia. It is the way people with a
primitive technology fight. Our extremely
advanced and complicated military equip
ment, Which requires a high industrial de-
VelOpment to make it and to service it. is
most effective against countries which also
tight with complicated weapons made bv a
concentrated and complicated industrial sys-
tenn. The more primitive the armies with
which we have to deal the less effective are
the Dlg engines OF war. Here is one of the
graVeSt problems that war in any part of Asia
presents us with. AS against the Asiatics. we
are hopelessly Outnumbered in the sphere of
manpOWer. We have planned, and to a GER
tam limited extent built, military machine
winch depends upon the most intricate form
OF weapons, and which is designed to take
full advantage of the miraculOuslv productive
American manufacturing establishment. The
atom bomb, the hydrogen bomb, the guided
missile, the StratOSpheric bomber of vast
range and carrying capacity-they are all
weapons devised in the event of traditional
war with another great and cohesive nation.
In Korea, we could not have used the bomb
even had we wished tO-suitable targets for
so rare and costly weapon did not exist.
The big bOmbers had small value, for the
same reason. The jet plane was too fast to
give good support to ground troops And,
finally, the decisive element was one of the
Oldest weapons of all-the soldier with a
knife or a gun. It is reported that General
Bradley has said that we must not let our
selves be bled by interminable 'pOlice ac-
tlOns" in Asia. He was undoubtedly thinking
OF the terrible dangers of our engaging in a
series of, guerilla wars. For, in those wars,
manpoWer-the sheer weight of numbers-is
the big factor There is every reason to be-
lleve that the INSTRUMENTATION or not they
start any more incidents of the Korean sort
would like nothing better In short, OrthO-
dOx military theory has received the severest
sort of shock. 1t was designed to deal with
the traditional war, the war Of rules, the So
called "civilized" war. The theory is being
Overhauled in the face of the realities. At the
same time, great changes in our diplomatic
and foreign policy are also slowly coming into
being. In this grim, strange world the diplO-
mats and the military men must walk side
by side.

1t is reliably reported that a number of
Mr.. Truman's economic advisors have told
him that there is little need to worry about
government spending, deficits, or the size
of the national debt. If we are to have mill
tary budgets of $35,0O0,OOO 900 a year or
more, they can simply be piled on top of nom
defense expenditures of a similar amount
This theory is not new one. 1t was given
a considerable amount of credence in the
days OF the Roosevelt Administrations by ad-
visOrs who argued that the national debt was
of small Importance for the reason that it
simply represented money we owed to our
selves. And, basically, that is part of the
"spend and spend and spend and tax and
tax and tax" school of economic thinking,
There is, however, one little thing wrong
with the theory, as history has demonstrated
time and time again. 1t is simply this: the
surest way to create initiation, to destroy the
value of the dollar, and to destroy with it
the true worth of every bank account, every
life insurance policy, and every form of in
Vestment with the possible exception of real
property, is government extravaganza. Sen
atOr Byrd has pointed out specific means by
which nOn-defenSe spending can be cut bv
billions without imperiling a single neces-
sary government function. The Hoover Com
mission surveys produced similar evidence.
According to the American Bankers AssO-
C4SIAOAlS CllS government cOulQ save SO,UUU,-
100000 year by the simple expedient of
cutting back non-defense expenditures at
least to the level of 1948. Yet the Admins
tration and Congress have not shown the
slightest interest in cuts of any significance.
Here is politics as usual" with a vengeance.
1t is an obvious fact that honest economy in
government would shrink the pork barrel to
a mere fraction of its present dimensions.
And that, the political argument goes, would
cost votes. So the country is driven down
a road that must lead to imitation, which if
not curbed, leads eventually to bankruptcy.
Whether the American people will blindiy
accept such fate remains to be seen. The
American people will be worse than fools if
they do not demand that their government
cut its domestic spending and waste. no
matter whom it hurts, and protect the dol

THE VOTERS HAVE SPOKEN

The voters in Delaware and the Nation
have spoken. Their verdict is in. While dis
pleasing to some, on a whole there has been
almost total lack of moaning and Wailing
about the results. Here in Delaware the
Republicans have gained control of all the
elective State offices up for election. The
vote was overwhelming. New Castle County
and the City of Wilmington did the trick
when they ballOted in OVerpOWering style for
the Republicans. Kent and Sussex COun-
ties disappointed the G. 0. P. in that almost
all OF the County offices were captured by
the Democrats; by small margins in Sussex.
Analysis of the State results brings but
one conclusion. Delawareans were tired of
the manner In which Governor Carvel and
his advisors have been handling the affairs
of state. No other answer can be arrived at.
His debate with fCrMer Attorney General
Clair KlllOran just before the end of the
campaign showed him in very poor light.
1t must have helped the Republicans to roll
up the great victory in Wilmington and rural
New Castle County.
The control of the General Assembly will
be divided. This may be a blessing in dis
guise for the Republicans. Any legislation
which gets through next year will have
to run the gauntlet of both parties scrutiny.
The executive branch of the State Govern
ment will have no honest opportunity to

out of this if each party approaches the
problems of state finances and operation with
an open mind and with desire to operate
/ honestly and economically. It will be the
duty of the Republican controlled House Of
Representatives to insist that this be done.
It will be their duty to root out payroll pad
ding, overlOading of the working stats in
the State Highway Department. the execu-
tive. departments and others which have
grown to lopsided proportions during the
present Carvel administration. This they
can do by the control of appropriations if
necessary-but it is to be hoped that this
will not be necessary.
One clear result of the election last Tues
day is that Caleb Boggs, returned to Wash
ington by a crushing majority over his
Democratic opponent, is gubernatorial tim

future. 1t could be that he will be Della

THE INFANTRY IS UNDERPAID

Drew Pearson is one of the most contro-
verSial of all the cOlumnists. He has thou
sands OF warm admirers and thousands of
bitter enemies. Most of his columns make
a point of stepping hard on many toes-and
the more prominent the toes, the better.
However, one of his recent items is likely
to be given near-unanimOuS approval 1t
discusses the bad financial deal the infantry
soldier receives, by comparison with his
compatriOts In other branches of military
service
Writes Mr.. Pearson, "Under the cur
rent army pay system, the real heroes in the
Korean war are drawing the least paw. They
don't even get fair share of the glory when
the publicity and medals are dished out.
These unsung heroes are the infantry
men, who form the arnly's battering ram,
but who are not paid as much as the techni-
cal men and the pencil pushers behind the
hnes. He goes on to say that the average
monthly pay of member of a rife company
IS Sl35, as compared with 1925 for an air
force combat creWnan and S172 for a sub
mariner. Combat infantrymen once got a
SlO month bonus, but this is no longer
given.
Moreover, according to Mr.. Pearson, In
fantrymen are actually the poorest paid of
all the troops in the army. Ordnance. sig-
nal corps, aTmored force, quartermaSter, ar

these other troops are, basically, simply the
infantTy's support. They exist for the sole
purpose Of aiding the infantry in its grim
task OF closing with and capturing or de-
SCr0ylng the enemy. If the infantry fails
70 90 that, the cause is always doomed.
Relatively little stress was placed on the
infantry in the so-called New Army we
heard SO much about year or so ago. This
was to be pretty much the mechanized army.
the push button army, in which almost ev-
eTyone would be technician of some kind.
The Korean war changed that concept, and
with vengeance. 1t was infantry-the poor.
bloody infantry of legend-that fought the
delaying actions in the dreadful early weeks.
At tunes the situation became so desperate
that service troops had to be given rifles

The rise of most business indi-
Gators during September in the
Philadelphia Federal Reserve Dis
trict evidenced a continuation of
the upward trend in general busi-
ness activity which characterized
the preceding FIVE months. Factory
employment, payrolls and prOduc-
tiOn increased over August and
so did bank loans and deposits in
the financial field. Construction
rose slightly, but the boom showed
signs of easing off. Consumer
prices in Philadelphia resumed
their climb, and department store
sales, although large, declined
from the unusually high level of
the preceding month, after adjust
ment for seasonal change.
There were no signs in Septem-
Der that manufacturers were glut-
ting their markets. Strong demand
gave firms the confidence to in
crease production. Producers of
durables made especially vigorous
efforts to relieve the pressure of
growing backlogs of orders. To in
crease output, concerns enlarged
their labor forces and extended
working hours. The number of
manufacturing workers employed
in Pennsylvania rose per cent
and reached level 8 per cent
above that of a year ago. Most
industries shared in the employ
ment advance with the major gains
being registered by the electrical
machinery and food groups. The
combination of active hiring and
longer hours was a prime factor in
raising total payrOlls. Wage pay
