JONATHAN DANIELS, the editor
of the Raleigh, S. c. Chronicle,
a friend of President Truman, a
one time employee in the White
House, says in the August Ameri-
can Magazine that Harry S. Truman
will be the Democratic nominee for
President next year, and gives a
number of reasons why he will be
elected. No one of his reasons are
as potent as the one that he fails
to mention.
That is the assured Truman
vote of the Democratic army OF
bureaucratS, now numbering
1890, 900, and their relatives and
friends, who want to see them
hold onto their federal govern
ment jobs. In the days Of Tam
many control of New York city,
the sachems claimed that each
job was good for eight Tam
many votes in any city election,
and frequently demonstrated
the correctness of that claim.
But should each bureaucratic
Job be good for only half Of that
number, four votes, there, for
the President, to start with. is
more than eight million votes,
and that Is some handicap for
any Republican nominee to over
come.

NEW YORK, April 2.-Police

Mr.. Murphy broke his silence

unionism." Mr.. Murphy added
"Unionism is here to stay, but
that doesn't mean it's for you.
You are the sworn representatives

Mr.. Quill later issued a state
ment saying the TWU drive "is

Iyear-old boy has admitted Staying
his bedridden uncle and two aunts
here because he "had trouble get
ting out nights to see his girl
friend" authorities said.
State Police in Delaware said
the boy. William A. Nickle, con-

New Jersey authorities left for
Delaware today to pick up the

Nickle was arrested at Pear

Dover Police Chief John j. VAL

scene Of the shootings late Satur-
day night in his uncle's car and
headed for Delaware to visit his
Iparents.
Variously described as quiet and
Iunassuming by neighbors and as
Ia troublemaker by authorities,
young Nickle had been living with
his uncle here for the last two
years after getting into difficulties
with juvenile authorities in Della
ware.
Chief Valley said the boy had

There are gifts. A Chicago po-

A Louisiana sheriff was given q

There are also fortunate in
vestments that seem to coincide
with the years a man is in Of

in the bank when he took Office.
Three years later, his assets
amounted to $4,000. A Chicago

that a Brooklyn bookie paid out

The committee also learned
that while most policemen are
honest. it doesn't take many dis
honest ones to let the gamblers
maintain an open-town policy.
A powerful enough syndicate
can see to it that where it
chooses to operate, the vice

the Secretary would be satisfied if
the committee cut the tax pro-
gram below $40 billion in the
event appropriations requests are
slashed.
Has No Changes in Mind.
Mr.. Snyder replied that he
could not go on an assumption that
appropriations would be cut. He
added that he hoped the $40 bill
lion tax program would be en-
acted long before the appropria-
tions bills are passed.
Mr.. Simpson also wanted to
know whether the Treasury was
standing on its previous recon-
mendation of an increase from 7
to 20 per cent on automobiles and
an increase from Z to 10 cents a
package on cigarettes. Mr.. Snyder
said he had no changes to make
in the Treasury's earlier recon-
mendations regarding these taxes.
Representative Reed of New

gathered from his mail that tax
payers were more interested in
seeing further economies in Gov

because they find the syndi-
Gates lawyer and the syndi-
Gates bondsman at the police
station to meet them. They
don't have to spend a night in
Jail and the syndicate pays the
bond premiums and the fine.
But how do they buy this
protection from the law?
Some of it is direct hand-to-
hand passage of money. A Flor
ida witness testified that the
day before he lost his job as a
deputy sheriff, he accidentally
came upon a bookie headquar-
ters. He said the boss told him
he was paying 5000 a month for
protection from arrests during
the winter season and $10O a
month in summer months to two
deputy sheriffs-one of whom
was the sheriff's brother law.
Sometimes deputy sheriffs are
actually on the payroll of the
gambling clubs. In jefferson

deputy sheriff served as door,

cording to the testimony, three
or four deputy sheriffs got
monthly paychecks to ride
around the county selecting tav-

atoga, N. Y, said he got $40
nightly from one gambling club

Sometimes the sheriffs are al

gambling themselves. Several of
them were partners or had rel
atives in lucrative gambling
operations. ranging from slot
machines to lotteries. A Louis

mitted he did not enforce the
gambling law also testified that
he cleared $4,000 in the past
four years on lucky bets.
Then there are the campaign

Urges Speedy Enactment.
The Secretary reiterated that
the first installment of $40 billion
in new taxes which he outlined to
the committee in February should
be enacted as speedily as possible
This program called for 81 bill
lion from increases in Individual
rates, So billion from corporations,
and So billion from increased ex-
else taxes on such items as auto
mobiles, liquor, cigarets, television
sets and a long list of other con-
sumer durable goods.
Mr.. Snyder said these increases
represent the basic changes in
the tax structure that are now de-
sirable."
The Secretary said the indicated
revenue increases were due prima-
rily to higher receipts from indi-
Ividual and corporate income taxes
than were expected.
Excise Collections Up.
He added, however. that a sig
nificant part of the increase could
be attributed to greater collections
from excise taxes than had been
'anticipated-"the result of scarce
buying and rising prices which are
reflected not only in higher living
costs but in higher defense costs
as we'll"
In addition. Mr.. Snyder pointed
out, expenditures for the current
year are running below estimates.
This reduction, he explained, is
due to savings in domestic pro-
grams and to fewer financial
settlements on military deliveries
than had been anticipated.
Revised Estimate Released,
In connection with Mr.. Snyder's
testimony the Treasury released a
revised estimate of budget receipts
and expenditures for the fiscal
year ending June 80. It showed
that revenue is now estimated to
total $47.2 billion as compared
with the January forecast of
$44.5 billion. Expenditures were
estimated at $44.3 billion in place

Jaffe Lawyer 10 Ask
Directed Aequittal
On Contempt Charge

Counsel for Philip Jacob Jaffe.
54-year-old former editor of the
defunct magazine "Amerasia," to-
day made it plain at the outset
of his clients contempt of Con-
gress trial that he will demand a
directed verdict of acquittal at
the earliest moment.
Attorney o. John Rogge made
that declaration to District Court
Judge James w. Morris who is
hearing the case without a jury.
Mr.. Rogge cited six acquittals OBJ
tanned recently in similar con-
tempt trials, as well as 143 years
of Supreme Court decisions on
such questions.
Mr.. Rogge said most of the
queries included in the 26-count
indictment against his client
would have tended to incriminate
him if he had replied. The ques-
tionS were put to Mr.. Jaffe last
April by the Tydings subcommit-
tee investigating accusations of
Communist influence in the State
Department.
1T is difficult for me to see,"
Mr.. Rogge declared, "how Mr..
Jaffe could have answered other
than identifying questions with
out risking self determination"
This case is even stronger for
the defense than those of Earl
Browder and Frederick Wander
