The common cause Of attack

together In the immediate fu-

itics think one of two things
will happen eventually. These
are that Mr.. Bevan. younger
and more dynamic than Mr..
Attlee and other leaders Of the
majority faction, may In the
long run wreSt control away

unfairly or otherwise break with
the party to form q new one.
Both possibilities are explo-
siye ones for Labor and could
have significant effect on Brit
aims future and that of the
world. Taking them in reverse,
the second would probably have
q result comparable to that Of
1931--a long period in which
the Conservatives would gain
all the political benefit Of a
division Of their opposition.
The first possibility that Mr..
Bevan might take over the
Labor leadership will be harder
to achieve but probably would
be more spectacular In its eff
fects. Mr.. Bevan Is facing a
party command that Is shrewd
and experienced In men like Mr..
Attlee and Herbert Morrison.

Tax Honesty IS Not That Eosy
The Plan to Shift Collectors to Civil Service IS Sound
But the ReoI Issue, Integrity, Renons to Be Met

President or the Secretary Of
the Treasury or any adrninistra-
tion. Plans to create such an
independent agency have been
the subject Of various bills I'M
troduced in Congress. and there
have been objections expressed
! to the proposal on the ground
that it might lead to arhitrari-
ness in interpreting tax laws.
But il this develops. 1t viii then
become the duty Of Congress to
write tax laws that are not
ambiguous.
The relationship between the
taxpayer and the Government
is one that requires not merely
fairness and equity on the part
of the Bureau Of Internal Reve-
nue. but also an honest attitude
on the part Of the citizen toward
his taxpaying obligations. While
avoidance" Of taxes through
the use Of proper deductions Is
lawful and the principle Of
avoidance" has been upheld by
the Supreme Court Of the United
States, 1t Is the "evasion" Of
clear-cut tax obligations with
out any disclosure Of taxable
moneys that stands out In the
bulk Of the cases that come up
for prosecution. To fail to
prosecute evasion BY succumbing
to political influence is as dis
honest as to steal Government
funds for ones own use. II the
Bureau Of Internal Revenue
were independent and possessed
its own machinery for prosecu-
ting tax cases. much OF the
effort to use political influence
would be stopped In Its tracks.

Honesty in tax administra-
tion isn't going to be achieved
merely by changing the type Of
Collector Of Internal Revenue
from q politically appointed of
ficer to q person chosen through
the Civil Service. Approval of
the Presidents reorganization
plan by Congress Is q step in
the right direction. but 1t
doesn't come to grips with the
real issue-the lack of integrity
which is being disclosed in some
places high and low in Govern
ment.
TO imply that a politically ap-
pointed official cannot be honest
In handling the Nations tax
revenues is in a sense to indict
politics as a whole and also the
individuals appointed by Presi-
dent Of the United States and
confirmed by the Senate. To
imply. on the other hand. that
only Civil Service appointees
will be honest Is to ignore some
of the recent revelations con-
corning irregularities on the
part of career personnel, too.
At best the Administration
has Striven to do something
about the scandals. II only to
change the. setup to meet a
popular clamor. But the logic
which says that Collectors Of
Internal Revenue must not be
politically appointed argues also
for the abolition Of political ap-
pointmentS for United States

Mr.. Besteman escaped unnarmed.

Medical Librarians
Told Of Hospital Work
In Disease Tip-0ff

Hospitals can serve as tipofl
centers to public health agencies
in the constant vigil for the fast
spreading or unusual disease.
About $50 medical record librar-
Iians heard this message yester-
day from DR.. w. Palmer Dearing,
deputy surgeon general of the
United States Public Health Serv-
ice. who keynoted the groups
opening session in the Shoreham
Hotel.
"The hospital which lives as an
isolated island in the community,
concerned only with the patients
who find their way through its
doors with no thought of whence
they come and where they go and
why. is a sorry servant of the
public" DR.. Dearing said.
Should Work as Partner.
The doctor said hospitals should
work as partner with the health
department in the practice of pre-
ventive medicine and public
health.
He said a hospital should act
aS an intelligence service, sending
out danger warnings for the pro-
lection of the public as it watches
the movement Of sickness.
DR.. Dearing described a case in
which a hospital alerted the
Health Department after a num-
Der Of children were admitted with
|arthritis and high fever. How
ever, none had the symptoms of
scarlet fever.
With this information, the
health department went to work,
tracked down and controlled an
outbreak of streptococcal infec-
ton. The source Of the infection
was found to be infected milk.
Reduces Service Demand.
In addition to this moral re-
sponsibility to the community" )"
DR.. Dearing said, "every hospital
nowadays is acutely conscious of
the high costs Of operation, the
shortage Of PERSONAL and beds.
Whenever a hospital takes the
time and trouble to alert the
health department. it is reducing
the potential demand upon its
services"
The oath annual convention of
the American Association of
Medical Record Librarians will
continue through Friday. Repre-
sentatives from hospitals through
out the United States and Canada
are attending the meeting.

The Bureau Of Internal Revenue
has grown from small organiza-
tion to one employing about ST.
600 persons. The greater part of
this growth occurred between
1871 and 1947. In those war years
the rapidly expanding bureau had
to work under a century's accu-
mutation of laws, administrative
divisions and obsolete procedures.
While much has been done to
simplify the bureaus operation
since the war. more fundamental
changes are needed now.

In assessing the current prob

should not overlook its high
achievements in the face of the
tremendous burdens rapidly piled
upon it In recent years. Never in
the history of this or any other
country has a Government organ
ization been required to deal with
such mounting technical respon-

the Revenue Service has met it's
tremendous duties is a tribute to
the thousands Of its loyal and

Corning and his staff investigated
and reported no evidence of such.
| Mr.. Lee charged that another
group of textbooks IN the schools
twas slanted toward socialism. The
Board of Education again voted
IMr. Lee down and again IL went
Ito a congressional committee,
Nothing much came Of the hear
ling, however, although again re-
visions were suggested to the pub
Fishers in one case.
| Song Book Criticized.
Then Mr.. Lee criticized a song
book given to the schools by
B'nai Birth, a Jewish organiza-
Ition, for use during Brotherhood
Week. He objected to a song
titled, Thomas Jefferski," which
tried to put over the point that
names meant nothing. The whole
song book was aimed at reducing
prejudice toward racial, religious
or national groups.
DR.. Corning objected to the
establishment of a standing COM
mittee on athletics for the Board
of Education, contending that
athletics should be treated as any
other subject in the schools and
did not need a committee. The
School Board created the COM
mittee.
Then, DR.. Corning got into an
other controversy when Pearl S.
Buck, noted writer, was banned
from speaking at the Cardozo
High School graduation. DR.. Corn
ing banned her, after she had
been invited to speak by Cardozo
officials, on grounds that her
name appeared in the files Of the
House Committee on Un-American
Activities and that Cardozo should
have cleared with his Office first.
This controversy stemmed from
an earlier one when a Russian
born woman spoke at Western
High School and some students
walked out in protest over what
they called her favorable attitude
toward Russia.
At that time, DR.. Corning ruled
all speakers must clear his Office.
Speaker Rules Drawn.
The upshot of the Buck incident
was that the School Board adopt
a set of regulations to guide selec-
ton of speakers. The mere ap-
pearance of persons name in
the committee files now is not rea-
son alone for being banned.
Central High School was trans
ferred from white to colored stu
dents after one of the bitterest
fights in the history of the school
system. Other transfers Of build
ings from white to colored also
aroused bitterness. including the
recent shift of Langley Junior
High School to colored students.
These moves were to relieve
crowded conditions in the colored
schools. The School Board often
split on them.
Then there was the Faith Of

giving Mr.. Gregory a newly
created post of associate superin-
tendent.
On top of everything else, Con-
gress appropriated 100000 for a
survey OF the school system. This
was completed in 1949 by DR.,
George D. Strayer of Columbia
University.
Wanted More Changes.
The survey made many sug-
gestions for extensive changes In
the city's school system.
Since then. the School Board, on
DR.. Corning's recommendation,
has made a number of the changes
in organization. Lack of action
on many of the recommendations
of DR.. Strayer has been a sore
point with some board members.
While all this was going on, the
School Board and DR.. Corning
were coping with a rapidly chang
ing school population that now
contains more colored pupils than
white. New sections of the city
developed and a shortage of class
room space followed.
Overcrowded classrooms still is
a hot problem in the colored
schools. Only recently, another
strike was staged at the Payne
and Webb Elementary Schools in
protest over what the parents felt
were inadequate measures taken
by the School Board to relieve the
jammed classes. That is still be-
ing fought out. J
In addition, numerous court
suits have been filed, attempting
to break the school systems segre-
gated pattern. One is in the
United States Court of Appeals
now.

long deplored the independent
status of the school cafeterias, run

DR.. Corning had several upsets
in recommendations for appoint

Mr.. Lee led the fight against the
