which would produce sound

which would produce sound
money.
The Eisenhower officials paint
ed no rosy picture of the initial
effects of the application of their
inflationary cures. It was to be
rough and bad-tasting medicine
to the economic tongue. It would
greatly restrict borrowing and
spending by both the Govern
ment and its citizens. Money
would get hard and tight"
Businessmen and ordinary citi-
zenS would complain. But once
the treatment really had taken
effect, imitation would no longer
be f1icking splinters from our
money boards. A long, level
period of good times would ensue.
This still is the ng-range
economic goal of the Eisenhower
administration. It is important,
therefore, to understand the phi
loSophy which underlies it.
The thinking behind the So
called hard money policy is that
the Nation-its people, business
men and workers--have been
eating too high on the hog" as
the expression goes; that we have
been living too we'll, borrowing
too much, and generally growing
fat and lazy, surrounded by a lot
OF easy money. Those hulees
showing beneath Uncle Sans
colorful attire are really layers
Of blubber and not economic
muscle.
The men around Gen. Eisen-
hover believe that a day of reck-
oning is sure to come for all of
us. They believe that unless
counter measures are taken, this
day of reckoning will be harsh
indeed; that the boom which
has been riding us higher and
higher since World War II will
suddenly topple over on it's in
firm foundation and let us down
hard to bust and depression.
Sought Gut on Boom.
The administration set out to
halt the growth of this boom,
maybe shave off a bit to make
it less top-heavy, and to firm up
the foundation with sound dol
lars. They believe it is possible
to control what will happen on
the day of reckoning-even, per-
hapS, to set the day. AS they
see it, the day will bring some
economic shocks, but these
shocks will be far less severe
than those attending a major
recession or depression. They
feel that the period of economic
stabilization to follow would be
we'll worth the price of this de-
liberately induced adjustment" 4"
In the thinning OF Secretary
OF the Treasury Humphrey, his
special deputy and chief adviser
w. Randolph Burgess. and the
Federal Reserve people, the key
to it all is the sound dollar. -
By that they mean a dollar that
will purchase the same amount
OF goods, or perhaps a little
more, from one year to the next.
To maintain or increase the pur-
chasing power of the dollar they
must make the dollar harder to
get. This they have been doing
by using the Governments power
over money and credit.
Most people who have applied
for loans for business, to buy a
new home or car, recently have
felt the effect of the drive for the
sound dollar" They have exper-
fenced it either in the form OF
a stony stare from their banker
or, if they are successful. in the
form of interest rates half pei
cent or more higher than a few
months ago.

Considerably higher interest
rates. the first general rise in

|Circumventing Tests

Robert Ramspeck has denied
a statement by Senator Will
liams, Republican, of Delaware.
that Truman administration Of
ficials had promised to use COM
petitive examinations in filling
all top posts in the Internal
Revenue Bureau.
Mr.. Ramspeck, former chair
man of the Civil Service Com
mission. said yesterday Senator
Williams sis not telling the
truth"
Senator Williams told the
Senate Thursday that such a
promise had been made but that
a "triumvirate" of Democratic
officials had bypassed competi-
tive examinations and packed
the bureau with "stooges."
Three officials Named.
He named Mr.. Ramspeck as
one member of the triumvirate,
and said the others were former
Secretary Of the Treasury John
w. Snyder and John B. Dunlap,
former Internal Revenue Com
missioner.
Mr.. Ramspeck, now vice presi-
dent of Eastern Airlines, said he
told the Senate Committee on
Government Operations plainly
and in detail' on January 81,
1852, that the Secretary of the
Treasury would have the option
Of filling the revenue jobs by
competitive examinations or by
promotion, transfer, reassign-
ment or reinstatement from
existing civil service lists.
Further, he said the qualifica-
tions required for the jobs were
put pretty high"

"All appointments were made
In a manner prescribed by law,
and appointees were selected
strictly on merit basis"
President Truman reorganized
the bureau last year with the
announced purpose of lifting it
out OF politics. 1t was announced
that all jobs except the top post
were put under civil service.
Senator Williams told the Sem
ate that the reorganization,
which he supported at the time,
had been a dismal failure" and
had made civil service a refuge

Contest Threatens
100000 Bequest 10
Children S Hospital

Loss by Children's Hospital Of
a 100000 bequest appeared a
possibility yesterday in Federal
Court. as three relatives of a
former Washingtonian sought to
have the probate of her $420. 900
will set aside.
The move lays the groundwork
for a contest, if necessary, of a
last testament made by Mrs.
Mabel Grace Stone, who died last
December Is. in a Westport
Comm sanitorium. She was
the widow of DR.. William r..
Stone, wealthy physician.
Attorneys Charles E. Ford and
Dan Piver petitioned for with
drawal of probate of Mrs. Stones
will from the U. S. District Court
for the District of Columbia and
for its transfer to a Bridgeport
court.
They acted for Mrs. Stones
brother, William Frederick Geyer
of Philadelphia. and two nieces.
Mrs. Louise BaSSett of 2600
Avena street, Silver Spring, Md,
and Mrs. Virginia DeHaven of
3508 Northampton street NV.
No Bequest to Nieces.
The two women were not re-
membered in their aunt'S will.
The brother, however, was left
$4,000.
If the request Of the three
was granted and the Connecti-
cut courts set aside Mrs. Stones
will, all Of the $420, 900 except
about $4,000 in minor beQuests
would go to the three as heirs
at-law.
Mr.. Ford and Mr.. Piver as
serted in their petition that Mrs.
Stone, in her 70S. was a legal
resident of Bridgeport at the
time Of her death. Before en-
tering the WeStport Sanitorium,
they said. she lived here for only
q few months each year, usually
staying at the Mayflower Hotel.

she owned no real estate in
Washington.

Constantine Brown:

President Eisenhower is
definitely determined to pre-
vent the Chinese Reds from
taking advantage of an even
tual armiStice in Korea to
strengthen and redeploy their
military forces for further ag-
gressionS in Asia.
This question has been the
main topic Of discussions in
the White House between the
Chief Executive and his mill
tary and political advisers, in
cluding members of Congress.
Gen. Mark Clark has been
instructed not to allow the
cease-fire parleys, which are
expected to follow the ex-
change of sick and wounded
prisoners, to last more than
20 days.
The most important deci-
sions, however, are said to
have been reached in regard
to the peace-treaty negotia-
tionS which must follow an
armiStice.
In the past, the NATO
members participating in the
Korean campaign were anx-
ious to obtain peace at almost
any price provided the West
could obtain some face-saving
clauses. The Eisenhower ad-
ministration has informally
advised our allies that it is not
interested in face-saving de-
vices but in a solid peace. We
shall insist:
Cd On obliterating the pres
ent fictitious boundary Of the
38th Parallel between South
and North Korea. This was
established at the end of the
last war only as a matter Of
convenience for the Russians
who were to participate in the
surrender Of the japanese
troops.
We cannot accept the con-
cept Of a divided Korea. Free
elections, Western style, under
direct supervision Of United
Nations representatives must
be held in order to bring about
the unity Of that country.

He had no more than left the
premises when Ferdinand,
sometimes called Joe. was on

maybe kindness was indicated.
The way to a bulls heart, he
had heard, is through his stom-
ach. He invited Ferdinand to
lunch. The treatment seemed
to work, but only for a brief
time. Stories in the news
papers hurt Ferdinand's feel
ings and he resumed paving
up the ground right where
he'd left of, in the State De-
partment's garden of bulbs
from overseas, bulbs carefully
nurtured for more than a
year, according to Dulles.
Everybody expected the
President to take a hand at
this point, but he SHE'D off.
There was nothing to get ex-
cited about, he suggested;
while Ferdinand may have
been guilty Of a little "infring-
ing" he hadn't actually "un-
dermined" anything. He could
