End Of Veterans Preference
Urqed in Choice OF Police
By the Assoeiated Press

PHILADELPHIA, Mar. 3.-The
Crime Commission of Philadelphia
has recommended that veterans
preference be abolished in the
hiring of policemen, except in
cases where military experience
warrants it.
"The fact that any person
served in the armed forces of his
country is no criterion of good
police work." the commission
said.
There is no inherent virtue in

States any sinister detectives.
The validity of this distinc-
ton with regard to Mr.. Bevan's
American criticism will be de-
termined in the future. There
is an Importance now, however,
in recognizing his stature in po-
litical life and in paying heed to
what he says. rather than dis
missing it as an Incorporate ex-
preston of a political rebel. The
time may come when he will be
the political chieftain of our
most valued ally.
It is for this reason that Mr..
Bevan's first venture into the
field of book writing should have
the studied attention of Ameri-
cans, particularly those who
have a hand in shaping and ap-
plying our foreign policy.
Under the title of I'm Place of
Fear" Mr.. Bevan has collected,
revised and co-ordinated many
of his previous utterances on
politics and world affairs. There
is nothing essentially new in
what he says here but the action
of placing it in cold print in a
volume that will live through
out his own political career
gives it finality that probably
will bear upon his conduct and
should be considered in ours.
Space does not permit a COM
prehensive discussion. of the
book. But Mr.. Bevan does
dwell in one portion on his con-
tention that an overpreoccupa-
ton by the West on a military
defense against Communism
plays into the hands of Soviet
diplomacy. In his opinion,
Soviet Russia is not seek
ing war in the conventional
sense-if it were it would
have initiated it yesterday
when we were weaker, rather
than tomorrow when we shall
be stronger. He does not say
that the West should not re-

hover campaign that so many
of the Republican isolationist
core in the Senate-Brewster,
Bricker, Butler, Ecton, Jenner,
KEN, Malone, Watkins-are up
this year. Democrats are not
saying much about it now but
they will hammer isolationism
hard when the election cam
paign begins.
The word is about that the
Taft forces are in a grim mood
and organizing for a pile-driv-
ing onslaught against Gen.
Eisenhower. Up to now they
have rather spared him and his
program. but they are saying
that as he is making noises like
a politician he will be treated
like one.
Senator Taft will meet with
his strategy committee here to-
day to chart the new moves.
One Of the things to be decided
is whether to include the floor
of Congress in the battle-ground.
Many Taft supporters are ready
and willing both in the Senate
and House to denounce the
North Atlantic Treaty Organi-
cation and all it's works, includ-
ing the supreme commander.
The Senator is undeniably in
a strong position to make Re-
publican congressional policy
conform to Taft policy and
leave Gen. Eisenhower out in
the cold. That Eisenhower Sen

ing the Communist lures in the
fields Of economic, social and
theological subversion.
1t is a thought that is not
Bevan's alone, of course, and
was, in fact. approached only
last week before Congress when
the Netherlands Queen, Juliana,
warned that the Atlantic coun-
tries should avoid the example
OF the Iron Curtain bloc in for
getting their economic, social
and cultural well-being.
To suggest a careful weigh
ing Of this thought is not to
1ndorse it without modification.
Communism, as it is propagated
by the Kremlin conspirators, is
an evil mask which conceals
many things. Mr.. Bevan is
probably in no better position
than another outside the Krem-
lin to define the real intent or
forecast the next step in So
Wet tactics.
But Mr.. Bevan is somebody
with whom we shall have to
deal in our political tomorrow.
The dealing will be easier if his
temper and his philosophy have
been painStakingly scrutinized
far in advance of meeting him
at the conference table.

John c. Henry:

It has often been the case
that men who are working their
way inexorably to a pre-eminent
level in world politics have made
a record in their spoken and
written words which has later
proved worthy of most Search
ing examination.
In some of these instances,
such examination might have

ate moment for observers the
measure of good or evil which
resided in the principal. a for
mula by which evaluation could
be made of his sincerity or his
cynicism, his selflessness or his

virtually certain to be Prime
Minister of his country unless
strife within his party robs it of

still accord to him the quality
of sincerity and reckon him as

To an increasing degree in
the postwar years. Mr.. Bevan
has been a controversial figure
not only within the labor ranks
but on the world stage which
has been so crowded with the
personalities and the issues Of
the cold war-the theological
conflict between the East and
the West. In playing his role,
Mr.. Bevan has acquired for
quite obvious reasons a reputa-
ton as an American-hater-a
reputation which he disputes
and which many of those who
know him likewise contradict.
Mr.. Bevan's own Interpretation
of his criticism of this country is
that he is questioning the wis
dom of it's policies and their i'm

and many companies would be-
forced to the wall.
The present situation is far
more dangerous than any which
existed during World War II.
Congress knew that the end of
the war would bring a deflation
of war orders. So the program
was tapered off as slowly as
possible between We day and
VI day. The companies which
were released for conversion of
their plants to civilian produc-
ton were given several months
warning and the benefit of a
refund Of tax payments. It was
fixed by law long before the end
of the war was in sight.
This system Of refunds-per-
hitting, for example. 1916 losses
to be put up against 1945 prof
its, and allowing for tax refunds
saved America from an eco
nomic catastrophe in the post
war period. 1t prevented wide
spread unemployment and gave
the American economic system
a chance to adjust itself to new
conditions of so-called peace
time.
But no such refunds-based
on subtracting current losses
from the profits of the two
preceding yearS-are provided
for in any law now. There are
limited carrybackS for one year
and a provision for credits in
future years, but this does not
furnish working capital at once
or keep companies from going
into receiverShip. The relief will
not be enough because much of
the exceSs-profitS-tax payments
will not be recoverable. The
whole problem needs study and
legislation.
Perhaps the most serious
phase of the matter today is the
fact that payments or corpora
ton taxes nowadays are being
accelerated so that the entire
years tax payments are not
deferred till the next calendar
year as used to be the case. This
very lag in the schedule Of pay

Doris FIeeson:

Senator Taft's claimed
strength in the Midwest has
materialized and Senator Lodge
has flown to Paris to persuade
Gen. Eisenhower to come home
and campaign.
Republicans appreciate this
evidence of vitality in their
party, but some thoughtful ones
admit to fear that the recip-
rocal goadings of the rival
camps may go too far. The basic
problem is that the party is split
on foreign policy and that, in
the Senator and the general,
each side has a clear-cut
spokesman.
The atmosphere of a hot
campaign for the presidential
nomination drives men to ex-
IRENE positions that they can
not or actually would not wish
to maintain as the nominee of
their whole party for President
Of the whole country. Whether
Gen. Eisenhower can preserve
an attitude of moderation under
heavy political fire remains to
be seen. Senator Taft's impul-
sive responses to pressure are
well known here.
In the Taft camp also are
many Of the party extremists.
In the Senate these include
candidates for reelection to
whom it will be important that
the party nominee should take

ments was what enabled many
a company in 1916 to readjust
itself financially even before the
refunds became available. For
the lega. procedures on refunds
can sometimes be lengthy and,
in the meantime, companies find
themselves without adequate
working capital to continue OPP
erations. Banks are reluctant to
lend in anticipation of refund
payments by the Government
because there are many tech
nical points and risks involved
in such cases,
Entirely apart from the prob
lem of using refunds from ex-
cess-proflts-tax payments as a
means of supplying pools of
capital for business. no plan has
been worked out for immedi-
ate launching of public works
programs that have been de-
ferred because of the Korean
War emergency. Unless a pro-
gram for such construction
projects were ready for instant
operation, there would be valua-
BILE time lost in drawing up such
plans. The steel industry would
certainly suffer if its 100 mil
lion-ton capacity became glut.
Moscow cannot convince
America overnight that its in
tent;ons are sincere, but a series
of deeds might be persuasive.
Certainly a revolt inside Russia
would precipitate such a defla-
tionary cycle in this country
that the damage would be
greater than any postwar read
