Churchill Begins His 8Oth Year
With Usual Work Schedule
Glowing Tribute
Paid Statesman
BY Newspapers
BY the Assoeioted Press

LONDON, Nov. Winston
Churchill reached his 18th birth
day today. bearing on his bowed
old shoulders the rising hopes
of the British people for a last
ing peace with Russia.
The grand old statesman ar
ranged a day of business as
usual.
He called a morning session of
his cabinet and planned to spend
many hours at his desk tying up
the loose ends of government
affairs before departing tomorrow
night by plane for the Big Three
meeting in Bermuda.
"A family dinner party was ar
ranged for tonight at No. 10
Downing street, the Prime Min
ister's official residence, followed
by a small reception for friends
and government ministers.
That was his sole concession
to the passing of another mile
stone in his long and fabulous
life.
Some Birthday, Some Man.
Some birthday, some man."
was the jubiliant banner head
line on the Daily Express, owned
by Mr.. Churchill's old buddy in
peace and war, Lord Beaverbrook.
"He sets forth into the 80th
year of his life without thought
of turning from his labor to
enjoy the tranquility of old
age" the independent Express
said in an editorial.
The Conservative Daily Mail
said Mr.. Churchill was under
taking the long trip to Bermuda
"and this arduous task with the
weight of the years upon him in
order to try to win the greatest
prize and greatest honor of all
peace in our time"
The old man on his flight to
Bermuda, said the Liberal News
Chronicle, will carry with him
a great freight of human hopes" :"
$50 far Sir Winston has at
tained his finest hour in pluck
ing triumph out of tragedy" the
News Chronicle said, adding: 1T
is possible, however, the greatest
phase of a great career might
now be opening before him."
Two Books Released.
The birthday was chosen as
the release date fol- two books.
One was Triumph and Trage-
dy," the sixth and final volume
of Mr.. Churchill's own history of
| World War II. The other was
Churchill by His Contempo-
raries." 125,0O0 words of reminis-
cence by British and world fig
ures who have known him in and
out of the government.
The recollections ranged a
wide gamut.

all requests for rulings involving
a policy question shall be re-
ferred to the Treasury" the sub
committee said.
Certainly" the subcommittee
added. "the practice Of reviewing
policy rulings in the Treasury
appears to be inextricably in
volved in the broader question
Of control of revenue policy as
an element in effectuation of the
fiscal program. The subcommit-
tee, therefore. considers it inad-
visable at this time to recon-
mend the abandonment of the
present system to achieve the
more limited objective of pre-
venting improper interference in
behalf of a taxpayer, particu-
larly if the latter end can be
reached by other means"
Danger Of Political Influence.
But the subcommittee con-
cluded:
Despite the possibility that
f1scal considerations may dictate
continued control of revenue ad.
ministration policies by the
Treasury and thus prevent total
separation Of the bureau, the
six cases do strongly suggest the
advisability Of granting auton-
omy to the bureau In all matters
not involving formulation Of
policy.
Corruption, of course, is pos
sible at any level But political
influence conceivably would be
less strongly felt by career en-
ployeS Of the bureau than by
political appointed Treasury Of
flcials.
IF the Treasury no longer
has ultimate control over per-
sonnet questions or like matters
personally affecting bureau en-
ployes. Treasury officials will
possess less power to influence
what should be impartial ad-
miniStrative decisions in the bu-
reau."
From a practical standpoint,
the Treasury would continue to
take part in legislative proposals,
tax treaty negotiations and is
suance Of internal revenue reg
ulations and policy rulings.
Furthermore, Secretary of the
Treasury Humphrey recently has
delegated considerabl admins
trative authority to Commits
sioner T. Coleman Andrews.
The subcommittee, however,
said it believed that possible fu-
ture abuses and political med
ding" could be prevented If the
Internal Revenue Code were
amended to spell out the Sec
retary's authority in revenue ad-
ministration matters and spe-
cifically bestow all other author.

Supreme Court Power to End

they are to be maintained these
are matters for the State, its
Legislature or its authorized
agents and for them alone. It
is not within the judicial power

Anti Slavery Crusade.
In contending that the 14th
amendment did not, and was not
intended to, outlaw racial segre-
CATION in public schools. the brief
stated that the amendment re-
suited from an anti-slavery cru
sade.
"The problem before this
court" the brief maintained, "is
not the legal or moral jusif1ca-
ton for slavery. Rather the
issue to be resolved is whether
the people Of the State Of South
Carolina may, in the exercise
Of their judgment, based on
first-hand knowledge of local
conditions. decide that the State
objective of free public educa-
tion is best served by a system
consisting of separate schools
for white and colored children. {"
Urging the court not to put
great reliance on congressional
debates that accompanied prep
arationS of the 14th amendment
after the Civil War, the brief
asserted:
"One Of the principal fallacies
Of the brief (by opponents of
Segregation) lies in the fact
that it seeks to solve the specific
issue of school segregation by
addressing itself not to the con-
stitutionality of the practice but
rather to broad generalizations.
Another fundamental fallacy is
the assumption that. in the years
following the Civil War, the
radical Republicans spoke fol
Congress as a whole. Nothing
could be more misleading"

Farm Surplus Called
Opportunity for ]. 5.
Rather Than Problem
By the As.eeiotsd Pres.

bI ms ASSoCtoteu pIeSs
Undersecretary of Agriculture
True D. Morse said today cur
rent farm surpluses should be
dealt with as opportunities" and
not as problems"
I'VE should be thankful" he
said, that we have this abund-
ance-rather than the hunger
and meager existence that
plaques three-fourths of the
worlds population.
In speech prepared for a
convention of the Southern;
Seedsmen's Association, Mr.
Morse said surpluses stalIo as
challenge tn ma, .agement
Leadership needs frankly to
admit failure to the extent that
1t fails to succt ssfully move
abundant production into use
when there are unsatisf1ed needs
in the United States and around
the world"
VIII SuUullt ITOSTdMs
Mr.. Morse said the Eisenhower
administration, with the felp
and guidance of farmers, their
leaders and educators, will sub
NIT to Congress solid and ap-
proved recommendations for i'm
proved governmental farm pro-
grams" to deal with surpluseS
and farm price and income prob
lens
"We now have the opportunity
and prospect of seeing farm pro-
grams redirected down a solid
path of progress he said.
There were reliable reports
that the administration will pro-
pose no brand-new ways of deal
ing with the farm situation. In
stead, it is reported the admin
istration will advocate a parity
standard written into law during
the Truman administration but
not yet used for many products
because Congress postponed it
for major crops until 1856.
The new parity formula would
provide lower price standards for
a number of crops, higher ones
for some livestock and livestock
products.
The Eisenhower adminiStra-
tion is expected to propose a
double standard for cotton,
wheat and rice crops: Near full
parity for that portion consumed
in the United States, and at
prices competitive with other
sellers for the remainder of
fered abroad.
This differs from the two
price plan now in effect for
wheat in that the farmer would
make the exportable supply
available at reduced prices. The
Government does this currently,
using an export subsidy.
Farm Exports Increasing.
The Agriculture Department
reported yesterday that, after
two years on the decline, farm
exports are increasing again.
During September. it said, for
eign shipments were II per cent
above those in August in dollar
value and 6 per cent above those
of September. 1852. Exports for
the July-September period to-
tailed $685., ,099, 900 compared with
$577, ,772, 900 in the correspond
ing period last year.
Mr.. Morse said in his speech
that restricted production is not
the long-run answer to SurpluSeS,
with the exception of the nom
food crops of tobacco and pos
sibly cotton.
"The destruction of food, hold
ing land and equipment idle or
in limited use. and prolonged
delays in putting improved pro-
duction and marketing practices
into use and other such obstacles
to the efficient use of agricul-
tural reSources-these are not in
the long time best interest of
agriculture or the Nation" he
said.

Leohy Deity Ducks
Role of Solomon in
Coaching Vacancy
BY the Associoted Press

LAWRENCE, Mass, Mar. a.
Notre Dame Football Coach
Frank Leahy, appealed to by a
Lawrence school committeeman
to choose between two appli-
cants for the high school coach
ing berth, replied with this
whimsical telegram:
':If vacancy still exists for 1854
I would like to apply myself. We
could lose every one of our 10
games"
Thirty-six have applied for
the post and Leahy was asked
to choose between Eddie Doherty
and Moody Sarno. Doherty was
quarterback at Boston College
under Leahy. was former head
coach at Rhode Island and
Arizona State (Tempe) and now
coaches nearby Punchard High.
Sarno was wartime head coach
at Boston College, where he had
been assistant under Denny
Myers. Sarno played at Ford
ham under Leahy.
The job pays $4,000, much to
the resentment of the Mayor,
whose salary also is $4,000. The
fire and police chiefs receive
$4,000 and the high school prin-
cipal $500.

Ruff, Kentucky basketball coach,
and two others, has ordered her
attorney to drop the action.
But in Lexington, Ka., At

reputed former Lexington book
maker, were named co-defend-

yesterday. He said Edge asked
Mrs. Bradberry to be a party to
the suit and she refused.
1--WE were amazed when we
read in the papers the suit had
been filed last Friday" Brad
berry added.
The suit contends that Curd,
Costello and Rupp "concocted a
fraudulent and debasing scheme
of gambling in school sports in
which the three worked "manip-
plation and fakement" of point
spreads in basketball games.
The suits asks $573,257.79.
which is triple the amount
allegedly 'lost in betting and

It was filed in behalf of Mrs.
Bradberry'S brother, George
Chumbley, who allegedly lost the
money in gambling operations.
Under Kentucky law, only an
out-of-State relative can file
suit in Kentucky for recovery of
gambling losses. Mrs. Bradberry
is Chumbley's only out-of State
relative.
Asked how he would continue
the suit without plaintiff, Edge
