NEW YORK. Mar. 14.-Philip
Young, who will be the new
chairman of the Civil Service
Commission, is coming to WASH
ington with a friendly attitude
toward Government employees
and a high opinion of their abil-
tiles.
AS a former Government en-
ploye who spent 10 years in the
Federal service from 1884 to 1914,
Mr.. Young feels that Civil Serv-
ice employees rate favorably in
comparison with any other group
of workers.
Mr. Young made his views
known yesterday in a chat at
his office at Columbia Univer-
sity, where he is dean of the
university's Graduate School of
Business. President Eisenhower
sent his nomination as COM
mission member to the Senate

Invitation to Crime
By Miriom Ottenberq

Faced with a rising tide of
armed robberies and house
breakings, Police Chief Robert v.
Murray last night called for
special attention to the crimin-
ais who commit a series of
crimes.
IF we are to have a real
deterrent to crime" he declared.
criminals must be made aware
that they will be prosecuted and
punished for each crime they
commit. whether it's one or so.
From the police viewpoint,
the criminal already sought for
one crime has no reason to stop
as long as he knows his punish
ment will be no greater. We know
their philosophy" .-
A Star survey of police and
court files showed a pattern that
does little to discourage an Of
fender from continuing to rob
or steal right up to the time of
capture-and even while he Is
out on bond.
Between the time a criminal
is arrested and when he faces a
judge for sentencing, the survey

against him is gradually reduced
until only one or two cases re-

Most Of the reduction is done
by Assistant United States At
torneys as a matter of policy.
They will usually accept no more
than three or four cases to pre-
sent to the grand jury. although
the man may have committed
100 crimes.
The number of cases on which
a grand jury indicts a man, the
survey showed, is in for another
reduction. In exchange for a
plea Of guilty in two cases. an
Assistant United States Attorney
will recommend dismissal of the
other two.
The judge frequently makes
what amounts to a final slicing
of 100 cases to one. He metes
out sentences to run concurrently
so the man actually serves only
one term in prison.
This pattern of a single sem
tence for multiple crimes was
cited last night by Chief Muir
ray.

Eisenhower Backed
By ANA on Plan for
Health Department
Delegates lndorse Move
To Elevate FSA After
Hearing Presidents Talk
BY Froncis P. DouqIos

The American Medical Associ-
alton yesterday stamped it's ap-
proval on the Eisenhower ad-
ministration's plan to create a
Department of Health, Education
and Welfare out of the Federal
Security Agency.
The AMS's policy-making
House of Delegates approved the
project after a brief discussion.
Earlier, the delegates had heard
President Eisenhower promise
the doctors cooperation and
friendship. He said the admins
tration would not attempt to
become "the big poobah" in the
medical field.
Bonds With Doctors.
In a brief extemporaneous
speech, Gen. Eisenhower also
said:
Il have found in the past few
years that I have certain phil
osophical bonds with doctors. 1
don't like the word compulsory.
l am against the word social
ized.'
This reminded the doctors OF
the Truman administration S
proposals of compulsory health
insurance system. The ANA
labeled that program "socialized
medicine" and fought it bitterly.
Gen. EiSenhoWer's words were
taken as assurance that no such
plan may be expected to come
from his administration. The
doctors applauded.
The action approving the FSA
reorganization was taken by the
House of Delegates, meeting at
the Hotel Statler. Present were
179 of the 1873 delegates. The
body was called into special ses-
sion-its fourth in 106 years
in order to determine the ANA
attitude before Congress takes
up the reorganization plan.
Vote Overwhelming.
The delegates adopted by an
overwhelming vote-later made
unanimouS-a report of the
Board of Trustees. The report
reaffirmed the AMA's 80-year-
old stand for an independent
Department of Health. It rec
commended support of the re-
organization plan as "a step in
the right direction"
But the report also indicated
a disposition on the part of the
doctors to keep their fingers
