Within a few seconds, 1t
Thompson called his wingmen by
radio. He told them to ''try and
make it" and said he would stay
clear. Immediately afterwards
he jettisoned his wingtip fuel
tanks to minimize the danger OF
fire, applied full brakes and cut
the switch. The fighter went of
the end of the runway at better
than 100 miles an hour. The
plane went over an embankment,
sheared of its landing gear,

Badly shaken, 1t. Thompson
still was trying to shut of fuel

TOBERMORY, Scotland, May 8
Royal Navy divers claim they
have found a 18th century Spanish
galleon. whose hold-according tc
legend-carries some $68 million
worth Of gold coin.
Old stories say the galleon was
the Duque Florencia of the Span

sunk in 1888 while carrying gold
to pay Spanish fighters attempting
a conquest of Britain. Her hold
was reputed to contain 80 million
gold ducats.
Divers who have been striving
for weeks to uncover the old hull
came up the other day with two
silver medallions from the mud.
The discovery led 1t. Comdr
Reay Parkinson, head Of the treas

had been found.
The Admiralty admitted there

Paying Its Way

At time when Government agencies
generally are being accused of wasteful
activities, 1t is refreshing to learn of a
bureau that is more than paying its way.
Such an agency is the Internal Revenue
Bureau, according to testimony presented
to the House Appropriations Committee.
Internal Revenue Commissioner Scho-
eneman reported that during the past
fiscal year savings of 81 ,891 $4,000 had
been chalked up for the Treasury-at the
expense of errant taxpayers. This huge
sum represents collections made from tax
payers after special audits of their re-
turns by bureau accountants. These were
payments in addition to those which tax
payers had agreed to make in filing their
returns.
Most of the underpayments occurred in
cases involving larger incomes, Mr.. Scho-
eneman said. The smaller taxpayers are
either more honest or more careful in pre-
pairing their returns, it would seem, for
most of this less aff1uent group made over
payments on their incomes. Thus, the
audits are benefting individual taxpayers
as well as the Treasury.
Mr.. Schoeneman made out persuasive
case for more auditors He pointed out
that he has only enough of them now to
check about 18 per cent of the returns in
the group above $1,000 and per cent of
those under $1,000. It Is reasonable to

Part of One Package

While 1t is the largest ever SeuI W
Congress, the District budget of $11e million
is a small part of the national budget OF
more than $42 billion. .-
The curious anomaly however, is that
the local budget is treated as part and
parcel of the national budget 1t is a
part of the "one-package" appropriation
bill for the United States that the House
Appropriations Committee is busily tying
up now for presentation to the House some
time between March Is and April l.
Inclusion of this local appropriation bill
In the national,G omnibus bill is illogical
for several reasons. OF the $l19 million
local budget, only about 10 per cent-$12
million-represents Federal funds, and the
national budget deals almost exclusively
with Federal money. About 88 per cent
of the local appropriation bill represents
receipts from local taxes. There is no
definite or fixed ratio between the amount
of local taxes to be collected and spent and
the amount of the Federal payment. The
local budget, moreover, Is confined to the
costs of operating municipality. The
national budget, of which this local budget
is strange part, is concerned with ex-
penditures of Federal funds throughout
the United States and the world.
Because the local budget is part OF
the "one-package" national budget, the
local appropriation bill is being handled
precisely as the other parts of the national
bill are being handled. The Subcommittee
on District Appropriations, under Chair
man Bates, went to work on the local
budget January 9, the day the President
sent it to Congress. Hearings have been
concluded and the subcommittee may be
able to present it next week to the eight
man Executive Committee of the House
Appropriations Committee, which will ap-
for revision. After this is done it will be
kept under wraps until the one, big bill
comes into the House.
Standing by itself, increases or decreases
In the local budget can have no possible
effect on the size of the national budget.
But as a part of the national budget the
highly desirable aim of keeping the total
within established limits can affect the
local budget adversely but without bene-
fetal results, locally or elsewhere For
this reason the experiment this year with
the one, big budget plan will be watched
closely. The result may be an argument
in favor of the more logical plan of a
local budget, handled separately by joint
committee on the District, better able to
care for the details of municipal budgeting
and the wise supervision of local finances.

Main Issues Recoqnized

1t is to the credit of the Senate that, in
voting to confirm the appointment OF
Admiral Forrest P. Sherman as Chief of
Naval Operations, it refused to be diverted
from the main issues in the case. These
were, first, the right of the President, as
Commander in Chief, to remove Admiral
Denfeld and appoint successor, and, two,
the fitness of Admiral Sherman to take
over the vital defense post. The Senate's
action was recognition of the presidential
right-a right that never should have been
questioned in the first place-and an in
dorsement of Admiral Sherman's high
qualifications for the CNO assignment.
Credit also is due Chairman Tydings
of the Senate Armed Services Committee,
for he had much to do with clarifying
the issues for his colleagues. There were
times when the main points were in danger
of being forgotten in the acrimonious de-
bate over collateral aspects. Outstanding
of the collateral aspects was the question
of the propriety of removing Admiral Den
field because he differed with Secretary
Matthews on certain naval policies. That
question was not resolved, of course, by
the Senate'S decision to confirm Admiral
Sherman. It will probably be debated
earnestly in and out of Congress for long
time to come.
Other side issues related to the veracity
and competency of Secretary Matthews.
This phase of the controversy boils down
to a comedy of errors, although the situa-
tion proved to be anything but funny for
Mr.. Matthews. When all the facts were

MIR. Matthews, who was accused, of giving
Senators misinformation about the Denfeld
case, was himself victim of nlisinforna-
tion. It was naturally most embarrassing
for Mr.. Matthews to learn, after he had
testified that no reappointment commits
sion had been issued to Admiral Denfeld,
that such commission had, in fact been
delivered to the admiral by presidential
aide. The detailed explanation OF the
incident given by Secretary Matthews in
q letter to Senator Tydings should convince
any fair-minded person that the Navy
Secretary did not intend to deceive the
Senate. It is too bad that he was not in
possession of all the facts when he gave
his testimony to the Senate committee

Gone With the Heut

Few persons will mourn the passing of
WaShington's anomalous snow parking
ban. It expired from the heat, appropri-
ately enough. The idea would have been
a good one If the weather had been more
cooperative, but what good is snow
parking ordinance if there is no snow?
Or if, as the records over long period
indicate, the chance of heavy SHOWS of the
type to justify drastic ban is very slight
indeed?
The only diehard defenders of the park
ing restriction were the Districts street.
cleaning and highway authorities, the
Capital Transit Company and the Public
Utilities Commission. The concern of this
group over the possibility of traffic and
other complications in snowtime is under
standable. But it has become increasingly
difficult for these advocates of the ban
to convince the majority of Washingtonians
that the proposed remedy was not worse
than the potential ills it was intended to
cure. Especially has the advocates cause
been losing one in recent weeks, under
the sizzling impact of record January
"heat wave" Small wonder that even
former adherents, like Traffic Director
Keneipp, have been swinging over to the
opposition side of late.
There is possibility, of course, that
winter will return in a devastating form,
with one or more heavy snowfalls. Even
SO, it is hard to justify continuance of a
parking ban that discommodes so many
citizens for SO many months, Just to facil
itate snow removal and expedite traffic
on rare emergencies. If no-parking re-
strictions on main traffic arteries are to
be imposed, they should not masquerade
as snow-removal measures. They should
be imposed as traffic relief measures, and
then only after careful consideration of
the public interest-including the interest
of residents living on the affected streets.

Letters to The Star
Stresses Competition as a Principle
In Successful Practice of Medicine

In Successful Practice of Medicine
To the Editor of TIL. Star:
DR.. Bloedorn defends the present restric-
tions for the medical profession by arguing
In extremes He assumes that we must
either have diploma mills" or else compel
doctors to spend several years learning the
classics of ancient Greece and Rome. In
so doing he forgets the classic maxim that
anything carried to extremes produces its
opposite"
One of our leading educators, DR.. Her.
rick. states that extremely prolonged school
ing may make man so problem minded"
that it impairs his professional efficiency.
Only few weeks ago President Conant of
Harvard expressed the opinion that our
present schooling programs may be too
prolonged Still others point out that pro-
longed schooling may deprive the candidate
of practical experience during the best
habit forming period of his mature life-the
early and middle twenties.
Moreover, professional requirements which
kill off competition definitely foster incom-
petence. DR.. Bloedorn must be well aware
that there are qualifications which pro-
fessional man should have which cannot be
taught in school or tested in an examina-
ton. Among these are sound professional
judgment, initiative and a knowledge OF
human nature. PrOlOngeQ ScnoOllng Can
produce doctors who are able to work with
guinea pigs in laboratory, but no amount
of schooling can train doctors to handle
people. Only by the exacting test of compe-
tition can those doctors who fail to develop
these qualifications be weeded out or di-
verted to research activities
Surely, there must be sensible middle
ground between these extremes. Unnecessary
academic requirements may be eliminated.
The old requirements can be adopted, plus
a year or two for the expansion of medical
knowledge. Such program would restore
opportunity for spare time students to
prepare for the profession-an opportunity
which now is denied them. Here I might
mention that our family doctor and dentist
both are graduates of spare time schools.
The same is true of a number of leading
doctors of Washington. For example, the
late DR.. Sterling Rufin, deemed by some TO
be the leading doctor of Washington pre-
pared in a spare time school. Had he been
confronted with the present requirements,
the community probably never would have
had the benefit of his genius. Only by re-
storing freedom of opportunity for our
youth can our doctors restore that compe-
tition which is necessary to maintain high
practical standards for the profession
