Dioqenes Outdone

When DiogeneS set out at high noon with q
lighted lantern in search Of an honest man he
was cynically recording his conviction that the
world Of his day was populated by thieves His
reactions would be interesting If he were here
today to witness the battle Of the barred tax
returns.
No one had suggested, much less charged,
that there was anything of color about Governor
Stevenson's income tax returns. Nevertheless, he
has released copies of his Federal returns for the
past 10 years, and has suggested, in effect that
General Eisenhower and Senator Nixon should
do likewise.
Neither had any one charged or suggested
that General Eisenhower had been cheating
Uncle Sam. But the general presumably fearing
he might be put in the position Of appearing to
have something to hide, has responded to Gov
ernor Stevenson's implicit challenge with an an
nouncement through press secretary that he
will make public his financial status.
This is a state of affairs which, in the abb
sence Of any charge or suspicion, is beginning to
border on the ridiculous Perhaps Governor
Stevenson hopes to embarrass his opponent by
forcing him to show that he paid capital gains
tax rather than a substantially higher income
tax on the reportedly large profit from his book,
Crusade in Europe. General Eisenhower can an
swer, however that the Internal Revenue Bureau
ruled that he had legal right to do this; in
other words, that he was merely taking advan-
tage Of what might be regarded as a loophole in
the tax laws. He can also say that Governor
Stevenson in claiming some $1,000 in depletion
allowances on oil leases was also taking advan-
tage of what has been described as loophole
In the law.
If the rest of the campaign is going to veer
OF on this tack, however, it is not going to be
very edifying performance. If there is reason to
believe that any of the candidates has done any
thing illegal or improper in filing tax returns,
that should be brought out. II there has been
nothing Illegal or improper, and there has been
no charge to the contrary, the battle Of the spe-
eial funds and the tax returns should be ended
as soon as possible so that the candidates get
back to something approximating discussion Of
the issues.

Yankees vs.. Buns

The tumult and the shouting In the baseball
stands have not really died; the fans are merely
drawing a deep breath.
For tomorrow the New York Yankees and
Brooklyn's beloved Buns open the 1852 World
Series, form Of athletic pageantry that is some
times known as "the annual fall classic" Being
concentrated in the greater New York area, this
years affair is the sort of thing that is custom
arily described as "a subway series" but with the
state of the Nations economy what it is, the
travel expense is now 10 cents rather than the
oldtime nickel.
The Yankees, accustomed to being cham
pions, behaved as such as they roared down the
stretch to their American League pennant. Pro-
fessor Casey Stengel, ordinarily man Of q few
thousand words at any slight opportunity, con-
fined his oratorical endeavors to ordering home
runs at critical moments and master r-minded his
pitchers into blowing the opposition down. The
Buns, less consistent but fascinating In their
own quaint way, staggered around less surely
in early September but managed to outlast Silent
Leo Durocher's Giants. Manager Charley Dresser,
who is reported to have typewriter with all the
keys reading ST." thereby remains popular in
Brooklyn If nowhere else.
At this stage, all the press box strategists are
planning the pitching rotations and the batting
orders. As soon as "Play Ball" is called, they will
revert to their usual roles Of being volunteer
managers, Joined In this effort by thousands Of
paying customers.
MOSCOW, Of course. will deplore the capitalistic
perversion Of its ancient sport OF 'beizbol" and
very likely win refuse to recognize the winners

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, June
21.-A plan for setting up the
worlds largest nuclear research
