Judge Refuses To
Dismiss Uden Case
CONTINUED from nrst page,

The motion claimed that the eff
feet of the statute is to create two
of taxpayers-those within
the protection of the statute and
those without its protection, depen-
ding on their presence in the judi
cial district in which their returns
are filed.
Judge Leahy points out that the
same question had been brought
before a judge in a U. S. District
Court in New York and that the
motion was denied. "On the basis
of the reasoning advanced by Judge
Brennan" Judge Leahy writes, 81
am Of the opinion that the de-
fendant's motion must be denied.
1T may we'll be the application
of the statute produces OnerOus. re-
suits upon taxpayers who remove
themselves from the district in
which they filed their returns in
/ that if they never return to the
district of filing the statute of limi-
/ tatiOns would never run in their
favor.
'eThis result may be all the more
lquixotic since the process of the fed
eral government reaches every
where throughout the land. The
defendant here could have been
indicted in the district in which
the return was filed and arrested
anywhere.
N "Nonetheless, I agree with Judge
B Brennan, statutes of limitations
are matters of grace and while
they are to be literally construed
in favor of defendants, this Court
can see no justification to ignore
the language of the statute
To hold otherwise is to legislate
under the guise of construction. II
the present statute is ineQuitable
the remedy is in legislation, not
construction"

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 7.-The

merit system over patronage

Robert Ramspeck told the Phil

accused Of misconduct, while six

He said this 'tbox score" clearly
shows the superiority Of the merit
system and urged Congress to give
close attention" to President
Truman's program to place all
collectors Of the bureau under
civil service.
Mr.. Ramspeck said the internal
Revenue Bureau has about $1,000
employees, and In 1861 only rs
were accused Of improper con-
duct connected with tax collec-
tions and embezzlement-13f100

He gave these statistics for

81 for all other causes, none Of
which involved tax matters or

Grand CouIee Planned
In Republican Years

The Washington bureaucrats'
would like you to think that the
idea and plans for Grand Coulee
sprang full-grown from the
Imagination Of their BRAIN
truSters.
But it is obvious that this
great project would not have
been ready for construction in
the early thirties, if Goven-
ment engineers had not dreamed
Of it and planned for it many
Republican years before.
Need I point out that Hoover
Dam, the first Of the great null
ti-proposed projects, with all its
power and irrigation. was au-
thorized by Republicans in 1928?
I believe you know. too, that the
much maligned 80th Congress
of four years ago appropriated
more money for Western prof.
ects than any previous Congress
in history.
What, then, is the real diff
ference between ourselves and
this administration in the mat
ter of resource developments?
The real difference is that some
thing new has been added dur
ing the last 20 years by the par
ty in power. This new feature is
an idea - the idea of whole
hog Federal Government.
This idea permeates every
thing the present Administra-
ton plans or does. It is the hard
core Of the difference between
those power-seeking politicians
and the rest Of US who still be-
lieve in basic American institu-
tions.
The whole hog theory is that
the Federal Government must
do everything for us and to us.
It holds that State and local
governments are basically In
competent and behind the
times.
Because the important projects
are too large to be done locally,
it holds that all projects must
be accomplished by the Federal
Government alone.
BY deliberate design, it seeks
to freeze out the initiative and
energies Of local, State and pri-
vate agencies, whenever it
thinks that they are doing any
thing that infringes upon the
swelling Federal empire.
Thus, the whole hog men,
tality proceeds toward the Gre
alton of a more extensive and

By People Back Home

It seeks to make the sover-
eign States into subordinate
branch Offices of provinces of an
all-powerful Federal Govern
ment. It destroys the right Of
the people back at home to rule
themselves.
I have talked a good deal
lately about corruption of the
tax collector kind and the kind
that gives special privilege to
political favorites. I speak now
of a different kind of corrup-
ton. one that goes to the roots
of our American system.
The apostles of the whole
hog idea are interested not in
money for themselves. but in
power for themselves. They
thirst to govern. They are
zealots.
And in the long run they can
do more harm to you and to
your families than a hundred
tax collectors dipping into the

The whole idea has in.
truded into countless phases Of
our national life. but nowhere
more greedily than into this
field Of natural resources.
The Reclamation Act was
passed to hasten the develop
ment Of the West, not to confer
perpetual power on the political
bosses Of the Interior Depart
ment to control the resources Of
the West.
The law was never designed to
reduce the peoples rights under
State water law. 1t was designed
to help provide water. not to
control people.
The Federal Power Act was
adopted in 1920 to encour-
age hydro electric development.
Under the guise of this law, the
Department of the Interior Is
seeking a monopoly over hydro
power production and distribu-
ton. 1t seeks this monopoly not
just in the West. but through
out the Nation.
Here we have the real whole
hog.
Water and power are the life
