Bureaucracy Arbitrary and Boorish;
Lacks Common Sense With Rieid Rules

gentlemen Of the Internal Reve-
nue. Bureau as a potential crook.
I have never evaded taxes nor
falsified books. Nor could I, as
they are kept by my secretary and
an accountant. But repeatedly
they are challenged, and exemp-
tions disallowed, on what appear
to be arbitrary decisions of minor
officials. The advice of account
ants is, Don't challenge; settle;
you can't lick the Government. ;"

arriving 1r o m OoFothS inompsons
Europe last week I applied for a
pass to enter the pier where his
ship was due to dock. This ap-
plication had to be made by per-
sonal appearance of myself or an
applicant in my behalf at the
United States Customs Office,
most inconveniently located in
furthermost downtown Manhat-
tan, far from where passenger
ships dock.
Surlily Refused.
I wanted passes for myself and
another member of the household.
This was surlily refused. Since
II can understand that piers
should not be crowded, and there
was no pressing reason for a Sec
ond pass. I accepted this without
argument. But the next appli-
cant also asked for two passes
for himself and his sister. "Only
one pass!" was again the abrupt
reply. But my parents are COM
ing in; they are both over 80 and
very infirm," he argued quietly.
'They will really need us BOTH
Now the official glowered. "Only
one pass!" he barked. in the tone
and manner attributed to Prus-
sian officers-and the applicant
left, hurt and sullen, now, him
self.
No doubt the official was obey
| ing instructions. Yet, clearly,
there ought to be possible modi-
fications of such orders. If an i'll
person were arriving, could not a
physician accompany a member
of the family to the pier? If a
family were due with several
small children, including an in
FAINT, could only one person ar
rive to care for them all while
the parents were going through
customs? The customs official was
unwilling even to listen to the ap-
plicant's case.
Common Sense Lacking.
It is only in bureaucracies that
common sense and human con-
siderations fail to function be-
cause of rigid rules. The old
British civil service-now so ex-
panded that much of its tradi-
tional courtesy is lost-was al
lowed to exercise some personal
discretion.
Why cannot American officials
extend the courtesy one expects
from a service station employe?

PUBLIC LAND ORDER 601

 This, no doubt, office error because Public Land Order affects only those lands traversed by highways or roadways constructed or maintained by the Alaska Road Commission.

Continued from Page one,

uganda balloons being released in Western Germany, so much so that one bpoadcaster deHeG fasSts set his air time last week to de- nouncing these balloons :, The present balloon idea is not quite the same as that proposed by this writer two years ago, but never theless is effective. The balloons are given visitors to the Marshall Plan exhibition in Bremen, West Germany, with instructiohSE tof re- lease them with post card to Communists in East Germany .. Being small, the balloons can not float to Russia, but apparently are raising Cain with Russianized Ger many Since the winds blow steadily from Germany into Russia, it would be a simple matter to float larger balloons into Russia itself carrying propaganda mess ages, soap, tea, or even small radio sets
 Behind Koraen Lines-U. s. in- telligeAce reports from inside North Korea shave it that North Koreans were promised 1900 tanks by Mar shal Shtikov and 400 airplanes-to be delivered by June l. About half that number came through. ShtikoS also promised that the United States would be so begged down in the rest of the world that she could not resist in Korea, and that Communist China would help out if necessary None of these pledgee has been fulfilled.
 Air Crash Friends-TWo Los An geles lawyers, en route to Wash ington to argue opposite sides of a rent case, happened to board the same Inflated plane-the one whose propeller tore loose and ripped through the fuselage near Denver. When the accident occurred, the two lawyers, G. B. Baumen, repre- senting the landlords, and Alex Schullman, representing the ten anus-were so sure that they were plunging to deaths that they forgot their differences, dramatically shook hands and said goodbye forever. When sthe plane made safe land ing, however, they hurried on to Washington to continue the legal fight.
