There is no use in spending
money to have a good looking
city and then defeat the purpose
in not following a comprehensive
city plan, which has been vio-
lated by erecting the temporary
buildings. The plan has been
violated under the pretext that
they are only temporaries and
tomorrow they will be gone-but
tomorrow hasn't arrived. Some
of these buildings have been
there since 1917.

Decentralization is bound to
come, as it is going forward in

a logical plan here and get rid
of the temporaries and put new
buildings in decentralized areas,

Washington? But this will take
legislation by Congress.

Tax Service Needs
1900 More Agents,
Andrews Declares
By Robert K. Walsh

Internal Revenue Commissioner
T., Coleman Andrews believes
his agency needs five years and
at least 1900 more agents before
becoming a first-rate career and
service organization.
In testimony given out today
by a joint congressional commit
tee studying Internal Revenue
Service reorganization, Mr.. An
drews said his Office was dread
fully short" of revenue agents.
He attributed this not only to a
$3.2 million budget cut but also
to difficulty in attracting and
keeping qualified men.
Now" he added, I'VE have a
plan for improving the situation
and making the supply greater,
attracting more people to the
service, and developing a back
log of people who want to make
a career out of the revenue
service, that we think will be
almost 100 per cent effective.

IF we can do it in five years
I will be willing to say to you, on
the basis of my reputation, that
in five years we will have a Serv-
ice that will be the finest career
service in the United States"
Matters have improved greatly
over the "demoralizing situation"
that existed when the Republi-
can administration took over
last winter, Mr.. Andrews de-
clared.
IF the things that we are
doing were not DONE" he in
sisted, you would not have a
revenue service in five years
worthy of the name. You are
not going to get those agents
until something like we are
doing here is done to restore the
confidence of the people in the
service and to make the service
attractive to career people. That
attractiveness did not exist when
We took over. I think it does exist
now.
Must Attrack Workers.
"The main thing now is that
I want to establish, and we are
all trying to establish, a Situ-
alton, under which people will
want to come to work for the
Internal Revenue Service. That
is our big problem. You can
talk about reorganization and
everything else you want to but
that is our most serious prob
lem"

MEMORIAL DAY SPEAKER ASKS
LEADERS NOT TO RECOGNIZE CHINA

Judge James McCrystal, San
dusky, gave a fighting speech in
Lakeview Cemetery Saturday fore
noon when he was principal
speaker at local Memorial Day
ceremonies. Complete text of his
talk follows:
''It is with mixed emotions that
we greet another Memorial Day.
To some, it is day of entertain
ment; to others it is day of
mourning and sadness. To me,
neither of these reactions is the
primary basis for the feeling we
should have on this occasion. Me-
mortal Day should be a day OF
dedication and resolve. On this
day we should re-dedicate our
selves to the high ideals and prin-
ciples upon which this great ma
ton was founded, and for which
these honored dead paid the su-
preme sacrifice. Unless we so re-
dedicate ourselves and our Ma
ton, Memorial Day has no real
meaning and becomes a Pagan
Holiday.

"It is necessary that we so re-
dedicate this Nation or we shall
not long endure as such in a

principles, or a nation that COM

eff our flag is to continue to

we must be prepared to defend

the course which to them was
right. There were no words, in
their vocabulary such as 'calcu-
lated risks" or negotiated peace" +"
Truce and compromise with the
enemy on the battlefield was to
them synonymous with defeat.
"The men who signed the Dec
iaration of independence or who
at Lexington and Concord fired
the shot that was heard around
the world, were not timid men
who judged their deeds in terms
of fear or by the false standard
of success or failure. History re-
cords that the men who signed the
Declaration of independence we're
fully conscious that they signed
their own death warrants if their
revolt failed. Their die was cast
in the terms of liberty or death. :"
During the darkest days at Valley
Forge, did we find George Wash
ington asking for a truce or a ne
gotiated peace with the enemy?
That we did not. Instead we found
him on his knees asking divine
guidance and assistance in the
cause that he knew was right.
"Our Nation and its leaders
must turn back from the road
that started at Yalta, road that
is paved with indecision, compro-
mise and treachery, a road that
has led us up and down the Kor-
can Peninsula at a cost of more
than $4,000 American lives, road
which today has led us ignomin-
iously to a muddy tent where to-
day our representatives plead for
peace from barbarian horde, in
war which our generals were or
dered not to win and in which our
soldiers were deprived of the
necessary ammunition to defend
themselves.
''We must get back on the road
that was conceived in Indepen-
dence Hall in 1776, a road that has
led us through Valley Forge, Get
tysburg and Bataan, a road that is
paved with the deeds of great men
and illuminated by Divine guild
ance, a road from which we have
never turned back or detoured.
eve should, therefore, on this
occasion solemnly promise our
honored dead and posterity, that
henceforth we will never permit
this Nation to deviate from the
path of truth, justice and honor,
and that we will never again COM
promise our principles or the
rights of our loyal allies for the
sake of temporary peace. If we
make and keep these promises,
we need never fear the future"

dom of our Country or its citi-
zens anywhere. We must proclaim
to the world with unmistakable
firmness that the citizens of this
Nation will no longer tolerate
any interference or insults, and
that we will never again be sub.
jected to blackmail or pay ran
som to any foreign power. AT
home, we must seek out and de.
stroy those among us who under
false banners seek to enSlave us
under government of arbitrary
power ruled by men and not by
law. So long as this Nation per-
mits the same men who foStered

Alger Hiss and his fellow conspi-
rators to formulate our national
policies, or so long as we permit
Communists and Communist SYM
pathizers to teach in our schools
and colleges, or so long as the
leaders of this Nation indicate a
willingness to recognize the Com
munist Government of China, then
this Nation has no right to ask
your sons and brothers to pay the
supreme sacrifice on the battle
field at the hands of Red China
or Soviet Communism. These
shocking conditions will continue
to exist just as long as we as in
dividuals permit them to. If we
continue to be complacent about
Communism we can expect no
change, but if we rise up and
awaken ourselves to its dangers
and demand that steps be taken
to destroy it in our midst, then,
and only then, will this Nation
be on the road to a lasting and
honorable peace.
''The other necessary step we
must take is to demand that our
Nation and it's leaders become
more God-fearing and courageous,
and exhibit the same patriotic
zeal and determination that guild
ed our fore-fathers. Our leaders
must stop weighing and debating
their decisions by the false prag-
matte standards of success or fail
ure. We must go back to the age
less Christian standard of human
conduct and judge our decisions
by the test of "is it right or is it
wrong" If our cause is right, we
need never fear defeat. Ameri-
can lives must only be sacrificed
for cause that is right and they
must never again be sacrificed on
the altar of an international or
ganization whose sole achieve
mentS to date appear to be the ap-
peasement of its enemies and the
betrayal of its friends.
