continued their battle of words to-
day in their drive for votes ID
Maryland's 9Th District Represen-
tative In Congress. S.
Mrs. Werner restated her belief
in the principal of Federal aid to
education and attacked her op-
ponent's vote as a State Senator
against pay raises for teachers.
MIR. Hyde criticized his opponent
for identifying herself as a "Ste-
venson Democrat" and then took
a few potshots at the presidential
candidate. r.
Gov. Stevenson" he said last
night in Hagerstown, "is trying to
make you forget (the administra-
tons recor6 with his sly jokes
and smooth words. I don't believe
the wives and mothers of the boys
in Korea think it is funny. I am
sure the burdened taxpayer does
not see the joke in a favored few
getting relieved of 80 per cent Of
their taxes"
Mrs. Werner said her opponent
had accused her of favoring a
centralized empire" She said that
as a native Of Maryland she had
spent many years working for
home rule for Montgomery County
because of her belief that strong
efficient government at the local
level is the corner stone Of self
government"
II am for every community
doing its level best for its schools, I"
Mrs. Werner said. But when its
best is not good enough, then ]
am for State aid to education. And
when the combination Of local tax
revenue and State aid are inSuf-
|ficient to provide good schools for
all children, then I am for Federal
aid to education"

Presidential Adviser!
Views on Spending
Puzzle Pentagon
By the Asseeiotsd Press

Defense Department officials
report they are puzzled by the
statement OF Robert c. Turner,
new member of President Tru-
mans Council Of Economic Ad-
|visers, that military expenditures
have virtually reached their
peak"
A spokesman said he could re-
cali no Pentagon officials making
such as estimate. He said it seems
possible that Mr.. Turner may
have been confused by statements
on the impact Of the steel strike.
A recent White House budget re-
view said military expenditures
would be about $6.3 billion lower
in the fiascal year which began
July l because of reduced ap-
preparations and because steel
shortages resulting from a strike
would retard procurement.
The spokesman pointed out that
large sums remain on hand which
will be spent in the fiscal years
ahead in addition to money ap-
propriated for those years. It is
estimated that by the end Of the
current fiscal year. next June 80,
the Defense Department will have
$50 billion as a carry-over from
money appropriated, but not spent
in this and preceding fiscal years.
It also seems possible that Mr..
Turner may have had in mind a
recent comment by Defense Secre-
tary Lovett that the budget re-
quests Of the armed forces for the
next fiscal year might be slightly
lower than the current year.
These are budget requests. not
the estimates of expenditures for
the next fiscal year. The latter
will come from the money pro-
vided in response to the budget
requests-plus money on hand
from the carry-over.

.174 Employees Fired
By Revenue Bureau
In Year, Snyder Says
BY the Assoeio.ed Press

The Bureau Of Internal Revenue
dismissed 174 employees In the IL
months ended June 80. Fifty
three were fired for taking bribes
or gifts and "a for embezzlement.
Treasury Secretary Snyder an
|nounced this yesterday in a RE
port to Taxpayers" designed to
show that despite q year of head
lines growing out Of congressional
Investigations, "tl1e real story
represents a period of persistent
and successful effort to overcome
extraordinary difficulties and to
shape a service that fully merits
public confidence" !
Early Action Cited.
Mr.. Snyder said the tax coll.
lecting bureau started wedding out
undeSirables Considerably before
the first Irregularities were
brought to congressional and pub
lie attention" Today, he said,

57,557 employees, plus administra-
tive reforms, have made it "al-
ready rejuvenated and strong
organization"

pages stapled together, and a
nine-page fine-type supplement
giving more details. The Treas
ury said it will go to all Congress
men and that any taxpayer who
wants q copy can have it by ask,
ing.
Mr.. Snyder said the war in
creased tax collections eight-fold
from IS billion in 1910 to $40
billion in 1946-and that the num-
ber Of taxpayers went up from
20 to 80 million. But, he said, the
bureaus staff increased only about
two and one-half times. from o.
600 to nearly $1,000.
''Worse for Wear"
He said this meant the bureau
came out Of the war years much
the worse for wear" Increased
taxes, Mr.. Snyder said, brought
increased tendency toward evasion
and more temptation for the tax
bureaus staff as well as taxpayers.
Thus. he said. people who were
'too little or too weak" caved in,
and irregularities developed.
The report said that during fis-
cal 1852 the bureau:
Collected $65 billion in taxes;
received nearly 80 million tax re-
turns; handled 100 million other
documents related to returns;
audited 4,405 900 returns and from
the audits, collected 81 billion ad-
|ditional taxes.

BootIeggers TO Face
Felony Charge as U. 5,
Joins in Breakdown
By Charles 6. Brooks

United States Attorney Charles
M. Irelan took action yesterday to
help police crack down on increas-
ing untaxed whisky sales in WASH
ington.
Recently bootleggers charged
with both local and Federal liquor
statute violations have often been
prosecuted for misdemeanors,
rather than under the Federal law
making it a felony to possess un-
taxed whisky.
Assistant United States Attorney
John Conliff said yesterday that
cases involving possession Of un-
taxed whisky will go to the grand
jury from now on.
Inspector Clarence Lutz, head
Of the police morals division,
brought the question up after a
bootlegger arrested last Sunday
was charged with four counts of
unlicensed sales under both Fed
eral and District law. The four
counts were misdemeanors. He
was fined $50, after pleading
guilty.
Felony Charge Dropped.
But the man. John Henry Kid
well, 43. colored. Of the 1000 olock
OF Thirteenth street Sc, also had
been charged with the felony
Police, the inspector said. seized
a total of four gallons of untaxed
whisky at his home, as well asI
three f1fths of tax-paid whisky
and some beer.
Although the untaxed whisky
was seized as evidence, Assistant
United States Attorney Jack Dia-
mond dropped the felony charge
when Kidwell pleaded guilty toI
the lesser charges.
The misdemeanors were pros
ecuted by the Corporation Coun-
sells Office, but now the United
States attorneys Office will handle |
all liquor cases involving posses
sion OF a quantity of untaxed
whisky.
Allegations by police officials
that the United States attorneys
office would not prosecute felony
charge unless the untaxed whisky
seizure totaled five gallons or more
were denied by Mr.. Conliff, who
said each case was judged accord
ing to its merits,
Alarmed by Sales.
However. Mr.. Conlif indicated.
bootleggers should henceforth be
prosecuted on the charges involv- /
ing the heaviest penalties.
Police officials have been .
alarmed at the increase of untaxed
whisky sales since liquor taxes
went up last November l from 50
to $10.50 per gallon. /
They felt that, because bootleg
gers were more often prosecuted
for misdemeanorS than for felo-
nies, the bootleggers felt they vir-
tuahy had green light to con-
tinues
Following yesterdays confer
ence, the inspector commented:
I'm satisfied with that. Our
experience with ABC law viola
tions (misdemeanors) has not
been too satisfactory. We can't
dry up bootleggers in this town
with Municipal Court cases. They
should go to the District Court,
and they'll be kept off the streets
longer"

Edward H. Imme, Pastor St. Johns Lutheran Church

T can't understand" said MT. Ioodchap. how people could have been so wicked" He had been reading the story of the trial and crucifixion of Jesus. It's a wretch ed, story, true, as far as human behavior is concerned. But let us not point fingers at the people in volved in those events, for the events attending the crucifixion are but a reflection of the atti- tudes we see all around us and within ourselves today.
 If MT. Goodchap had looked more closely he might have seen himself on the fringe of the crowd on Calvary. The faithlessness of the sleeping disciples who could not watch and pray one little hour is reflected in empty church oeWs today, in the indifference of people who cannot spend one hour out of l68 in Gods House. Judas betrayal is reflected in our own quick readiness to betray what little is left of Goodness and Truth for the sake of personal Peters denial is reflected in the attitude of part time" Christians who do not want to become too deeply involved with Christ. Bribed witnesses and Pilates cor ruption are spread before us in Government probes. The people choosing Barabas instead of Christ did what countless people do today who have no use for Christianity or the Church.
 But the picture is not all dark. In that black story one Light shines clear and unwavering and true. It is the matchless devotion of Jesus. He came to save. He gave His life to do it. One pure and uncorrupted light shines in the world today. It is the Chris tian Gospel. He died for you! Matchless devotion, unbounded love! Accept Him as your Savior and King, and may the remem- brance of His devotion to save US
