reau itself, Mr.. DeWind pointed

lecting system has been reorgan-
lied, patronage-appointed collec-
tors taken out of politics and pol

1851. and April 10, 1852, a total of
lit bureau officials and employees
have been fired or forced to re-
sign. OF this number, he eX-
planned, 72 involved charges of

duct.

To Aid in Ending S|urs
Against U. 5. Workers
Chairman Robert Ramspeck of

Chairman Robert Ramspeck Of
the Civil Service Commission to-
day asked the Nations newspaper
editors to help him in the cam
paign to end unwarranted slurs
against Federal employees.
Speaking before a luncheon ses-
sion of the American Society Of
Newspaper Editors meeting atSthe
Statler Hotel. Mr.. Ramspeck told
the editors they could do a great
deal in ending a lot of miscon-
ceptions about Federal workers.
Urging the editors to inject
pride. not poison. into the public
service, Mr.. Ramspeck declared:
Instead of editors inveighing in
general terms against too many
Government employees give the
people facts about services their
Government agencies are perform
ing. so that they can decide in
telligently where they want econ
omies to be made"
Stresses Service Done.
"You can't eliminate employees
without eliminating the work they
are doing" the commission chief
said.
Let the American public know
that Government is not only their
partner, but their neighbor, and
that a whopping 80 per cent of
Federal Government is not in
Washington, but right out in their
home towns where they can look
it over from their doorsteps," Mr..
Ramspeck declared.
Mr.. RamSpeck also called on the
editors to cover local activities OF
the Government as a matter OF
reader interest as we'll as public
interest, and to convey a true
picture of the growth of Federal
activities since Korea. The great
rise in employment since then has
come in the military agencies,
while the rest of the Federal bu-
reaus have actually shown a $4,000
decrease since that time, the
editors were told.
Asks Specific Criticism.
Even in an election campaign
year, criticism of Government can
and should be kept specific and
not generalized to the point Of
destroying public confidence in
our form of Government, the
commission chief emphasized.
Referring to oft-made charges
that the large Federal payroll
helps keep the administration IN
power, Mr.. Ramspeck cited the
situation in nearby Montgomery
and Prince Georges Counties in
Maryland and Arlington County
in Virginia. "All three of these
counties, contiguous to the Dis
trict of Columbia, wherein reside
a greater proportion Of Federal
workers than in any three coun-
ties in the country. weres carried
by Mr.. Dewey in 1948," Mr.. Rams
peck disclosed.
While declaring that there are
! a relatively few undesirables IN
Government, Mr.. Ramspeck said
the vast majority of Federal work.
ers are conscientious, hard-work-
ing and. loyal. IndiScriminate
smearing Of Federal workers
causes top people to leave Govern
ment. and discourages other top
flight men from accepting EN-.

American editors were told to-
day that Secretary of the Treasury
Snyder cannot escape response
bility for irregularities disclosed in
the Governments tax system.
The statement came from Sena-
tor Williams, Republican, of Della
ware. He spoke in a panel discus
sion on Honesty in Government"
at opening of the annual meeting
of the American Society of News
paper Editors here.
Senator Williams, often credited
with exposing scandals in the Bu-
|reau of Internal Revenue, said Mr.
Snyder and the Treasury ignored
repeated warnings about condi-
|tions. A housekeeping was under
taken. he added, only after he and
the House Ways and Means Sub
committee investigating tax scan
dals turned the spotlight on cor
ruption and irregularities.
Adrian w. DeWind, chief coun-
sci of the House subcommittee,
another participant in the discus
sion. said "a great deal' of inves-
tigating remains to be done.
Study Activities That Corrupt.
He said the subcommittee
headed by Representative King,
Democrat. of California is now
centering its attention on those
who corrupt" the bureau people.
He added that particular atten-
ton Is being centered on the ac-
tivities of lawyers and accountants
having questionable dealings with
the revenue service.
Mr.. DeWind paid tribute to
newspapers for their assistance
in exposing corruption in the tax
service. With the House ban
against radio and television at
hearings. he added, the news
papers have been almost "the
sole source of information" to
the public on what has been
going on.
Mr.. DeWind said widespread ir-
regularities seemed to have de-
veloped in the revenue service in
the last eight years. The House
investigation, he added. has
shown the once highly respected
Revenue Bureau Ito have grown
careless in it's public trust" and
to have slipped badly in public
esteem.
Says Corporation Grows.
Mr.. DeWind said the Treasury
came slowly to the realization
that conditions were not what
they should be. Once this was
realized, he added, the Treasury
has co-operated fully in the in
Ivestigation.
He paid tribute to John B
Dunlap, top official of the rev.
enue service. and a new com.

IA Kefouver Sans Coonskin Cop
Wins Place on Both Tickets

A Kefauver without a coonskin
cap knocked 'em dead at the Wom-
ems National Press Club dinner
last night.
The Tennessee Senator's most
dangerous secret weapon"-hiS
pretty red-haired wife Nancy
took over for him at a political
rally" Feeling something like
Alice among the medicine bot
ties" Mrs. Kefauver explained why
her husband should be President.
Before three active candidates for
the job and three representatives
of other aSpirantS, she convinced
all that a Kefauver should be
in the White House-a Nancy Ke-
fauver.
Russell Shows Gallantry.
When she finished speaking,
Senator Russell. Democratic can
didate from Georgia, turned on
the old Southern gallantry and
offered to step down to a vice
presidential candidacy if Senator
Kefauver would give the top spot
to his wife.
"Kefauver's chief accomplish
ment is that he has out-married
himself to such an extent" the
Georgian said. "His wife is his
most dangerous secret weapon"
Not to be outdone, Representa-
tive Brown, Republican, of Ohio
who represented Senator Taft,
agreed with Senator Russell.
"Now I'm almost convinced I
should support Kefauver-Nancy,
that is"
Senator Kefauver was Stumping
in Florida for Democratic dele
gates to support him at next July's
Democratic National Convention.
Mrs. Kefauver's voice trembled
bit at first as she told her
audience of more than 400 peo-
Iple, including visiting news
paper editors, that it was her first
public speech. The dinner was at
the Hotel Statler.
Then she gained confidence as
she told how she had campaigned
with her husband in New Hamp-
shire and in the Midwest. She re-
lated she saw that people like
him, warm to him, and he likes
them.
Impressed by Youth.
"FIe sees in the racketeer a man
who might have made good citi-
zen if given a break" Mrs. Ke-
fauver said. HE is impressed by
young people who want to live up
to the highest promise"
1t impressed her that people
want her husband to be President
that he has comprehension OF
their problems-and that gave he1
a new prospective.

Alexander F. Jones. president Of

today in the National Museum
auditorium.
Mr.. Jones, who is editor of the
Syracuse, N. Y, Herald-Journal,
admitted some members Of the
society Board of Directors dis
agreed with him on the Tass issue
now.
With approval of the board, he
called on the Standing Committee
of Correspondents last year to bar
Tass representatives on the ground
they were not bona f1de press
representatives. The standing
committee declined, ruling that
Tass' membership in the galleries
was consistent with the American
concept of free press"
Oats Imprisonment Recalled.

Mrs. Kefauver'S first political
speech fell on sympathetic ears.
Before the talking started, club
members and their guests filled
out straw ballots predicting the
presidential nominees of the two
major parties. 1t was Gen. Eisen-
hover for the G. o. P. with 225
votes. and Senator Kefauver for
the Democrats with 1862 votes.
Runners-up were Senator Taft.
who polled 81 votes as the prob
able Republican choice, and Sena-
tor Russell, who received 81 votes
predicting he would be the Demo-
cratic nominee.
Warren Backer Speaks.
On a more serious vein, the
other candidates and their repre-
ISentativeS summed up their
stands.
Representative Hunter. Republic
can, of California. spoke for Gov.
Warren, calling him a man Of
proved executive ability and
vote-getter. Gov. Warren, Mr..
Hunter said, would provide good,
efficient and economical govern
ment."
Mr.. Brown said Senator Taft
is fully experienced to lead the
American people in the trying
years ahead"
Senator Russell said every issue
confronting any President should
be weighed in the interests of all
our people," rather than from the
standpoint of the interest Of any
pressure group"
G. o. P. presidential candidate
Harold E. StaSSen started his
speech by saying he had reached
a very important decision" and
that he wasn't going to use all of
the five minutes allotted to him.
Some in the audience thought he
might be going to withdraw from
the race. He didn't. however. and
he told a reporter later: Il will be
in there battling to the finish"
Senator Kerr of Oklahoma,
candidate for the Democratic
nomination. said the man his
party picks should be able to unite
it-and made it plain he feels he
could do it. He said achievements
of the Democratic Party during
the last 20 years have been out

the future better than the past"
