going to be different from the
old.
Washington also will be
watching to see how Secretary
Wilson makes out with his new
team, especially the brilliant
successor to Gen. Bradley
Admiral Arthur Radford.
Whether Mr.. Wilson knows it
or not, it is not quite like the
process Of reorganizing a busi-
ness and bringing in your own
vice presidents who owe all to
you.
The new top dogs of the
services are old hands. They
have roots deep in Washing
ton, both in Congress and in
diplomatic and semiofficial cir
cles. Admiral Radford, for ex-
ample, is close to the stormy
petrol, William c. Bullitt, once
an important Roosevelt am
bassador and now q pillar Of
the China lobby.
They are all men Of ability
and character. They may
swing with the punch occa-
sionally but they are basically
just as much professionals as
their predecessors and as loyal
to their trade. The Defense
Secretary has not exactly flown
to ills that he knows not of,
but he has not automatically
acquired any yes men.

programmes and. they hope,
permanently moribund.
It is dubious whether under
even the most favorable con-
ditionS such a program can
begin to be effectively realized
within two more years.
Four conditions at least are
essential for the orderly de-
velopment of Egypt's revolu-
ton into a stable and legal
order.
The first is a satisfactory
settlement with the British
over the canal zone.
The second is that the mem
bers of the revolutionary con-
troll council headed by Gen.
Naguib do not split into fac
tions through personal ambi-
tionS or riffs over policy.
The third is that there Is
sufficient economic progress
and no serious economic or
financial crisis.
The fourth is that the in
terests submerged a year ago
do not reconsolidate and at
tempt a comeback which might
plunge the country into open
civil strife.
These are four big ifs.
The revolutionary command
has attracted to it's govern
ment some very able, disinter-'
ested, and enthusiastic men.
BY and large they form a
cabinet of experts, modern,
progressive, and pragmatic.
But the regime is not yet
stabilized. There is po-
tentially powerful opposition,
presently dormant: Landlords
dealt q heavy blow by the re-
duction of their holdings to a
maximum of 800 acres and by
the reduction of land rents

Suggested Change in H. S. Bookkeeping Methods

cal comment? The Democrats?
OF course not, because they
can get further politically by
defending the change. They
could reconstruct their own
budgets for the last 20 years
under the capital plan and
offset Republican criticism
that they piled up deficits year
after year. For many of the
Democratic administrations
deficits would be erased. too.
Businessmen, when they
fully understood what has
been done with the Federal
budget system in the past,
would applaud the change.
Few persons realize that if the
Government buys a piece of
real estate which is worth
100000. and could bring that
sum at a sale, the Federal
budget shows the 100000 as
an expense item in one year.
It's true that, if the property
is sold some day, it is all
counted as income, but the
difficulty is not with items of
100000. It's with items run
ing into the billions, such as
the expenditures for plutonium
and uranium-which is like
buying gold because the
materials are conserved for
future use and for the most
part are never destroyed.
They are assets not likely to
be sold right away.
There may be a real stimulus
from the new system. 1t may
make those who go to Congress
to request capital spending
show that their projects will
be self financing over a period
Of years. This in itself would
be a healthful turn. But the
biggest advantage would be
that all taxes could be reduced,
because they would be con-
fined hereafter only to a bal
ance with actual expenditures
on a current basis and would
not be confused with capital
investments.

groups, but political folks are
afraid of it-they fear the
criticism from the opposite
political party.
It so happens that Beardsley
Ruml is q Democrat and in
the last campaign was chair
man Of the Stevenson finance
committee. He himself pooh
poohs any political angle. In
a statement he has just made
to the House Ways and Means
Committee, Mr.. Ruml said on
that point:
"This change has been rec
commended for years by stu
dents, organizations, and Gov
ernment a agencies among
them, the Committee for Eco
nomic Development, the Pres
ident'S Council of Economic
Advisers, and the 1949 Senate
subcommittee on monetary and
fiscal policy, headed by SEN
ator Douglas, Democrat. of IL
linois. The change has the
support Of persons in both
parties"
The new Ruml plan for a
capital budget follows a pat
tern that States and cities have
established in recent years
with their bridge authorities"
or port authorities" It is
sound from a bookkeeping
standpoint, and the only real
opposition has come from
those who fear they may be
accused of Changing the
books" That's why Mr.. Ruml
says:
ut will require real cour-
age in the administration to
recommend these long-over-
due changes in the statement
OF the Federal budget. Not
only will the inertia of tradi-
ton have to be overcome, but
there will be an inevitable
amount of cynical comment
that the administration is
attempting to balance the
budget by definition"

New Order Unifies
Control Of Military
Real Estate Affairs
By John A. Giles

Secretary of Defense Wilson
today took a long step toward
achieving the ultimate aim of
unification of the armed services
by approving a comprehensive
order that places control of the
military's vast real estate hold
ings in his Office.
The directive is a companion
document to an earlier one which
placed direction and control of
supply activities in the hands Of
one of the new Assistant Secre-
taries of Defense.
The latest order gives Assist
ant Secretary of Defense Frank
lin G. Floete responsibility for
developing policies and proce-
dures in the broad" fields of real
estate acquisition, utilization and
disposal, construction, real prop
erty maintenance and manage
ment and family housing.

tend but be not limited" to in

The special dividend at
tached to association with Gen
eral of the Army Omar Bradley
is renewed faith in the plain
people of America and in
American institutions.
If this soldiers soldier did
not lose his temper OCCASION
ally, as when he Snarled at the
fancy Dan admirals, or bear
a grudge, as he does to this
day against Marshal Mont
gomery. he would seem almost
too good to be true.
Few people of accomplish
ment depart with so much good
will from this Capital, where
a diverse host of inquisitive,
talkative, comparing critics ex-
plore performance and per-
formance alone. Washington
does not ask what you are and
it assumes you mean well. It
asks: How are you doing here?
Gen. Bradley did we'll in a
most difficult period. He had
to give military advice to a
President who was almost con-
tinuouSly under sustained and
vitriolic attacks in matters
having to do with defense and
foreign policy. Part of the in
tense irritation some of these
critics felt with the old chair
man of the Joint Chiefs was
because he gave them so few
handholds.

government reorganization"
has been chiefly to produce
efficiency and reduce duplica-
ton, overlapping, waste, and
such, and Congress has ap-
proved a number of plans
recommended by the previous
Hoover Commission for that
purpose. But the object Of the
new commission goes much
further and deeper, as it is
now coming to be understood
around here. The aim now is
to shape policy by wedding out
certain Government agencies
and functions approved by
Congress. Some of them, such
as public power and rural
electrif1cation, might be in
cluded in the category of what
President Eisenhower in the
campaign called social gains"
which he and other Repub-
licans pledged themselves to
keep, but which in the few
months since have suddenly
become creeping socialism"
that must be rooted out and
this public wealth handed over
to private enterprise" at bar
gain rates.
The new reorganization"
maneuver will be presented as
one to take the Government
out of competition with private
business. This is revealed by
the chart prepared by the
House Committee on Govern
ment Operations that shows
some 103 ways in which the
Government competeS with
private business, some of which
are minor, some of which are
strange, and some Of which
might very well be dispensed
with perhaps.
This list was inserted in the
committee record along with a
letter from Mr.. Hoover in
which was included a copy Of
one Of his most recent public
addresses, that in Cleveland in
which he recommended sale
of public power projects, in
Guiding iva. That gives you
the general idea, along with
the fact that the committees

dustrial production facilities,

bases and all other installations
which may come under the de-
partment'S supervision.
The Office of the Secretary of
Defense have attempted in the
past to exert some control over
the billions of dollars worth of
military real estate and conStruc-
tion but never on such a COM
prehenSive scale as Is enviSaged
in the Wilson order.
The order is in conformity with
President Eisenhower's reorgan-
ization plan for the Defense De-
partment, which was approved
by Congress.
Mr.. Floete is charged with
developing uniform design criteria
and construction standards for
all the services in the interest
of economy and effective utiliza-
ton. Congressional committees
have been highly critical of mill
tary construction because of a
lack of uniformity, which
brought needless expense.
The new assistant also will re-
view present real estate holdings
of the services with a view to
determining whether future re-
quests are necessary.
He will develop policies gov
erning the acquisition, expansion
or restoration of real properties
Evening star., 1953-08-14

by the military departments to
meet requirements other than
by new construction, including
the determination OF the reason
ableneSS of costs.
Arrangements for loan or lease
Of property from States, munich
palities or private enterprise also
will come under directives laid
down by Mr.. Floete to make Ger
tain the prices are reasonable
and that the military utilize and
maintain them in the most eco
nomical manner. Conversely, the
sale or lease of Government
owned property will be under
policies laid down by the AS
sistant Secretary to insure provi-
SionS for return in emergencies.
Design standards and cost
criteria for permanent and
temporary family housing will be
worked out.

Dovid LoWrence-

Beardsley Ruml, the man
who sponsored the pay-as-you-
go income-tax plan which Con-
gress adopted, has come to
town with another interesting
idea. It is as simple as this:
The Government should set up
It's books just like any other
business. It should not con-
slider as expenses each year the
amounts it spends annually for
long-range capital investments.
If such a system were adopted,
about $12 billion could be
transferred from the present
budget to a capital budget and
thus a realistic balance could
be achieved as between cur
rent outgo and income.
CuriouSly enough, if Amer
ican businesses were permitted
to do what the Government
now does it claSSifies all
spending, even for capital pur-
poses, as expenditures-there
would be a deficit in almost
every growing company in
America, and few businesses
would ever pay any income
taxes on profit. For there
wouldn't be any.
Thus, if the American Tele-
phone & Telegraph Co. borrows
$500 million for new plant and
equipment to give better tele-
phone service, that whole sum
is never claSSed as an expendi-
ture in one year. It's a capital
item, and the only thing in
Cluded in the expense column
is the interest and a small per-
centage each year for deprecia-
tion.
The setting up as capital
items of all Federal property
that could be some day sold
and all Federal loans to the
public that are made by vari-
Gus Government enterprises
which in themselves produce
income and are REPRESENTED by
assets is not a new idea. The
plan has been suggested many
times before in academic
