Our Washington squirrels are semi
domesticated, or semi-feral, as the ex-
perts might say. ("Feral" simply means
Wild)
They have become so used to being

they do not greet one with the entire
fear of the true wild animal.
Still, they are looking for danger, and
this seems to them to come. in any sud-
den motion made near them.
Nature tells them to snap and run.

These nests are securely lashed, and

Occasionally, however. the babies are
tossed out.
If this occurs in September, some of

1t is not unusual for these late babies

instinctively to realize that here is help.

A Record to Be Proud Of

In laying the cornerstone of the fine new
building now under construction as headquarters
for the District of Columbia Red Cross the Presi-
dent paid graceful compliment to Washingto-
mans on their splendid record of contributing to
the Red Cross and in giving to the blood bank"
This record proves, the President added some
thing have known for long time-the people
OF this city, so many of whom are Government
workers, are among the finest and most patriotic
J citizens that we have anywhere"
The President was alludng to a fact that
is so often obscured in the heat of political de-
bate, when washington" becomes the headline
symbol throughout the land of everything that
is wrong with the country. That Washington"
is the Washington of the politicos the Wash
1ngton of deficit spending, the Washington Of
expanding Government. the Washington of in
fuence peddling. the Washington of unceasing
encroachment upon the private affairs of the
citizen, the Washington that is another name
for what people dislike and distruSt in gov
ernment.
But the washington" discussed by the
President was the Washington of home-loving,
patriotic citizens-proud of their country, proud
of their city, supporting the things that stand
for the best in community life giving frequently
and generously to such undertakings as the
Community Chest and the Red Cross and re-
spending as Washingtonians have always re-
sponded to other appeals in the name of good
citizenship. AS the President said, we have
record here to be proud of and it is going to
be sustained
The new building that will house the increas-
ing activities of the District of Columbia chapter
of the Red CroSs-"one of the best and most
active Red Cross chapters in the whole United
States is great credit to the city, lasting
memorial to the generosity and good neighborli-
ness of its people.

Another Tox-CoIIection Headache

Already beset with troubles, the Internal
Revenue Bureau has something else to worry
about. The new headache is the legislation, just
signed by the President, putting a special
10 per cent tax gambling profits and an
annual "occupational tax" of $50 on each reg
istered numbers operator, bookmaker or other
professional gambler. The taxes become effective
On November
The trouble with the law is that Congress
did not provide any means for it's enforcement.
Commissioner Dunlap told Congress that such
law could not be enforced effectively without sub
stantially enlarging the bureaus investigative
and collection personnel He estimated that a
minimum of 5000 specially trained investigators
would be required to do the job. This estimate
since has been revised upward to 1000 agents.
Additional cost to the bureau of this new activity
is estimated at about $40 million year.
There was a feeling in Congress that the
gambling taxes would bring into the Treasury
voluntarily as much as $400 million year, the
theory being that most gamblers would prefer
to pay the taxes rather than run the risk of
Federal prosecution and punishment. The bureau
is not SO optimistic. 1t Is true that many gam
blers in the past have reported their earnings
and paid taxes on them-but they did SO with
the confident knowledge that the Internal Rev.
enue Bureau was interested only in collecting
IeFGluc-llOb III SIlOOpl1lS GIlcA SdHUuHS
enterprises. The new law, however, projects the
bureau beyond it's traditional tax-collecting field
into the gambling g-investigaton field, heretofore
the exclusive domain of local police. Under the
law gamblers must register, giving addresses of
all gambling places and the names and addresses
of all employees. If they do not comply with the
registration requirement. it will be up to the
bureau to conduct careful investigation of each
failure to do So To prove evasion, bureau agents
must find evidence, acceptable in court, that the
suspected evader actually is engaged in the
business of gambling. 1t is not easy to get such
proof-as many police authorities will attest.
Since it is no secret to the gambling syndi-
Gates that Congress neglected to give the bureau
the money and agents to enforce the new law,
the chances of widespread voluntary compliance
with the 10 per cent tax the registration require
ment and the occupational tax look slim indeed.
The bureau already is preparing to ask Congress
in January for extra funds and personnel With
out this aid the well-intentioned gambling taxes
are likely to remain largely uncollected.

Your attitude toward Mr. T1uman's
appointment of Gen. Clark as am
baSsador is indicative of more than
merely an expression of regret at the
timing and advisability of such move.
1t condones an attitude, arising from
misinformation and at times willful mis-
understanding of Catholicism, both at
home and abroad, which is a source Of
annoyance to Catholics everywhere.
However, this is not likely to seriously
affect the Church, which has weathered
1000 years of fair and foul weather.

Margaret w. Anderson.
May I express my mild amaZement
at the storm aroused by the appoint
ment of Gen. Mark Clark as Ambas-
sador to the Vatican State? 1t appears
to be sizable tempest in very small
teapot.
An objection frequently voiced by
Protestant religious leaders is that the
ambassadorial appointment was effected
Evening star., 1951-10-25

to a religious headquarters, and not to
a secular power. Indeed, there have been
representations that the Vatican City
is not state at all. While this is, of
course, not the point principally at issue,
if the Vatican is not a state, then the
republic of Italy, within whose terri
torial limits it exists, to say nothing of
the 81 sovereign nations which have
accredited officers of ambassadorial rank
to it as state, is laboring under a
ludicrous misapprehenslon.
The greater point of contention would
appear to be whether or not the ap-
pointment violates the principle of the
separation Of church and state, and
thereby extends the power of the Roman
Catholic Church unduly, and Illegally
in the United States. Parenthetically,
am certain that Gen. Clark would be
shocked to find himself regarded as an
instrument of Roman" power in his
own country. But this aside, is it not
automatic that the presence of a diplo-
matte representation indicates only the
recognition of de facto government,
without any implied approval of the
policies of this government? If the lat
ter were true. then the United States
ambassador to the Soviet Union must
be regarded as a potential instrument
of the Kremlin.
Then, too, think that the press has,
to degree, contributed to the falsifica-
tion of the picture by depicting it as
an issue divided along purely religious
lines. The situation as depicted by the
hoy
non-CatholicS received the news of Gen.
Clarks appointment with shocked and
outraged horror. while the Roman
Catholic hierarchy and laity danced in
trlumphal glee. On the contrary,
should judge that the generality of
citizens Qf that cross-Section with
whom I am in daily contact is repre-
sentative) received the news with re-
actions running the gamut from indif-
ference to equanlmity.
Patrick Anthony O'Sullivan.
Many opinions have been given on the
value of this latest White House fiat.
Some call it of tremendous value in our
fight against communistic Russia, others
call it political maneuver to capture
the vote of New York State and other
preponderantly Catholic centers: still
others call it the start of tidal wave
of Professionalism such as this country
has not seen since Al Smith. It would
be more nearly correct to say, in view
of the fact that America is basically and
predominantly Protestant, we should
do again as we have done before with
our next all-out American vote.

Decentralization VS.. Dispersal

Chairman Holifield of a House Expenditures
subcommittee says that some form of decentral-
ization for Federal workers will be approved by
his group after consideration of the bill approved
by the Senate just before adjournment. But
there is no form of decentralization, in the
accepted meaning of the word, that would not
be contrary to historic policy underlying estab-
lishment of the Seat Of Government at Wash
ington.
Much hinges on what is meant by decentral-
tzation. When first used by the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission in one of its
reports on master plan for future Washington
the term apparently was intended to apply only
to the expansion of Federal activities into near
by Maryland and Virginia. Later, however this
movement Of Federal Offices into the adjacent
States was called dispersal to distinguish it from
the more drastic proposal of the General Services
Administration for transfer of many employees
and agencies to distant cities
The bill passed by the Senate last week with
out debate under unanimous-consent procedure
Is not dispersal plan, but program for moving
substantial parts Of the Federal Government
away from the Washington Metropolitan Area.
AS such the bill would strike severe blow at
the traditional concept of a central Government
in the District of Columbia The ill-advised
proposal obviously has no relation to national
security, for it would leave in Washington most
of the defense and other sensitive agencies of
the Government. 1t is apparently a scheme to
find more space here for more Federal workers.
That is not a good reason for permanently trans
ferring thousands of workers to other parts Of
the country If that is the sort of decentraliza-
ton which the House subcommittee recommends,
the House should reject it when the plan comes
before it next year.
