Good Job by Andrews

A succession Of scandals had shaken
the Bureau of Internal Revenue from top
to bottom when T. Coleman Andrews took
over in February, 1858.
He said at the time that he would
return to private business when he had
done all In his power to restore the pres
tige Of the bureau. Presumably -unless
there Is something that doesn't meet the
eye--that time has come. For Mr.. An
drews IS leaving at the end Of the month
to return to private business in Richmond.
It Is regrettable that this Eisenhower
Democrat, appointed at the suggestion Of
Virginia's Senator Byrd, is quitting the
Government service. For he has done
an excellent Job. He has reorganized and
strengthened the bureau. He has refused
to bow to pressure from the politicians.
If he has not succeeded in popilarizing
this tax-collecting agency, which would
be quite chore for any man, he has at
least rekindled public respect for it. And
since that is what he came to Washington
to do, he cannot be blamed for wanting
to return now to the greater financial
rewards OF private life.

BeIoted School Relief

News that some fund juggling has
opened the way for immediate relief of
the teacher-shortag emergency in the
public schools is gratifying to parents,
teachers and the public generally. The
special arrangement between School SUI
perintendent Corning and District man
agement officials viii permit the hiring OF
20 extra teachers at total cost of SIS 900.
More teachers may be needed to end over
loading OF some instructors, but DR..
Corning believes that further shifting Of
faculty members will take care of the
stresses. And it will be necessary to eff
feet certain economies for the remainder
Of the school year to Offset the diversion
OF money to personnel expansion.
Tempering qualification over the be-
lated solution of the teacher problem is
the knowledge that the emergency could
have been ayerted by more eficient and
effective planning by the school admins
tratiYe staff. The disturbing facts are that
the administrators did not foresee the.
teacher shortage and did not discover it
until . few days before the opening OF
schools. There was breakdown some
where tn the system and this never
should be permitted to occur again

progress toward a complete re-
coyery raises at least two ques-
tons. First, when will he an
nounce his 1856 plans? Second.
what decision viii he make on
running again? The politi-
clans are tremendously inter-
ested in the first, and the
American people in the second.
It has been generally taken
for granted President Eisen-
hover win not run for q second
term. The fact remains: hove
ever, that decision rests with
the President himself. The
same impelling reasons most
Americans wanted Eisenhower
in the White House for Sec
ond four-year term exist to-
day. Just as before his illness.
He and his administration have
brought peace and prosperity.
Second, Eisenhower is a great
world figure, to whom the free
world looks with hope for
leadership.
Needed to Sway Him
Two things may help the
President make up his mind.
First, his own estimate, backed
by his physicians reports, of his
physical ability to carry on the
Office Of President. He may
well be strong enough to con-
tinue. Second, a conviction.
If it comes to him. that he is
needed. He cannot know the
answer to the first, probably,
until the end of the year. His
steady progress toward good
health, however, has been a
great encouragement. So far as
the second is concerned, the
President has insisted all along
he does not believe in the ain-
dispensable man." 1t might,
therefore, take q convincing
and overwhelming demand,
plus concrete evidence he is
needed by his country, to sway
him.
The President does not owe
the country or the Republican
Party anything. Both are in
his debt. He would have to be
convinced that his own person.
al services were vitality needed.
Much, therefore. will depend
on what the international and
domestic situations hold IN the
next few months. It is true
that the President has set in
motion the program which he
believes viii benefit the Amer
lean people; that perhaps half
Of that program has been ac-
complished. But half Of it is
stili to be done. II the Demo-
Gratis take over in 1857. the

rection OF bigger government

Autonotion 5 choIIenqe

There may be room Tor disagreement
with some Of Walter Reuther's specific
proposals for coping with the dislocations
which win accompany notable expansion
Of autonation. But there can hardly be
any serious dissent from his general
propositions that this Is a problem which
is not going to solve itself, and that the
alternatives to planning and foresight
now are going to be widespread hardship
and even suffering later on.
Mr.. Renther believes that the coming
decade is going to bring sharp increase
In automation- the automatic control Of
production with q minimum of human
labor. At the same time, there is going
to be marked increase in the labor
force-in the total number of young men
and women starting out to make their
way in the world
It is hardly necessary to argue the
proposition that this adds up to chal-
lenge Of considerable magnitude. Our
past experience has been that new and
better industrial techniques serve, in
themselves, to create new job opportuni-
ties. And this, In the long run, will be
true Of automation. But result which,
In the long run, win be good does not
preclude short-run results which could
be very bad for large number of people.
One suspects that Mr.. Reuther was close
to the truth when, testifying before the
Patman subcommittee, he said:
In looking ahead to the many benefits
which attenuation can produce, we must
not overlook or minimize the many prob
f0kI Arte In
II the adjustment to the new technology
problems for individual workers and in-
dividual companies. problems for entire
communities and regions, problems for
the economy as whole.
Finding the answers to these prob
lens will not be an easy process, and Ger
tainly not an automatic one. Even II the
greatest care is taken to foresee and meet
the problems. adjustments for many people

there is no care and no foresight, II we
& subscribe to the laissez-faire belief that
"these things will work themselves out"
untold harm can be done to millions Of
innocent people and TO the whole structure

The chances are that, at the mini

call for action in industry on such things
as shorter work week, earlier retirement.
retaining Of displaced workers and aid
to small and medium sized businesses
which may not be able to survive without
help. This is the sort Of thing which
will challenge familiar patterns Of
thought and action. But the challenge
must be faced up to, and 1t Is good,
therefore, to see this preliminary cons.

socialism" Also, President Eli
senhoWerhas set the pace to-
ward 3 more peaceful worlds
pace which the American peo-
pie hope may be maintained.
It is argued In some quar-
tiers that no request be made
Of the President to continue In
ONCE. Some Of those who so
argue are thinking really Of
the personal welfare Of Mr..
Eisenhower. And some are
those who do not wish him to
run and win, If and when 1t
becomes apparent that the
President is to have 3 complete
recovery, however, 1t seems In
evitable that q demand for q
continuance OF Eisenhower in
the leadership here and abroad
will manifest itself.
Attacks ON Nixon
Time is Of the essence. as
1t happens, In this matter Of
making known the Presidents
plans. If he is not to run, the
sooner the country and the
Presidents own political party
should know it. Republican
planning IN the past has been
based only on the premise
that Eisenhower would be the
presidential candidate. II he Is
out of the picture, then an
other man or other men must be
built up to have a chance in
the election next year. So. the
hope has been expressed, or
az least Dhe belief. that the
President will not unduly de-
lay an announcement; that
his decision may be made by
the end of the year. One thing
is almost certain. If the Presi-
dent does not make known his
plans. the hope will grow he
will himself become q candi-
date.
The President, If he is to
step aside, viii have to decide
also whether he viii give a
pat on the back to one or more
potential candidates for the
Republican nomination. It has
been suggested he will go down
the line for Vice President
Nixon. Another suggestion is
he will urge Chief Justice
Warren to take the nominal
ton And a hope has been ex-
pressed by Senator Knowland
Of California that the Presi-
dent keep his hands or the
selection Of candidate. Nixon,
according to public opinion
polls. has the lead. In this case
1t is interesting to see that the
attacks on Nixon-the most
virulent attacks-have come
from the Communist Daily
Worker, from the Americans
for Democratic Action, and
from Paul NJ. Butler, the
chairman of the Democratic
National Committee. They may
help Nixon in the end.

Time to Foce Facts

The sales tax may be touchy pollg-
ical issue in Virginia, but evidence con-
tinues to mount that the issue must be
faced squarely and soon II the State Is
to fulfill Its growing public service re-
sponsibilities. What Is wrong with sales
tax. anyway? All but l6 Of the States
have found nothing wrong with y. n
fact, most Of them could not hope 70
carry On without the returns from small
levies on retail sales. Virginia Is SUR
rounded by sales-tax jurisdictions, yet
continues to hold out, despite a critical
demand for additional revenues
The latest Of tax studies showing
advantages Of sales tax has just been
submitted to the Northern Virginia
Regional Planning Commission. The re-
port, prepared by DR.. Laszlo Ecker-Racz,
stops short OF actually recommending
adoption Of such tax. But it says, sig
nificantly: 1.-THE spread of the sales tax
in recent years reflects public recognition
of the need for additional revenue to
finance State and local services. It Is
a major revenue producer, Moreover, IT
is one OF the few areas In which State
imposed tax does not seriously overlap
a Federal tax.
The report comments that sales tax
proposals are likely to be an issue at the
forthcoming session Of Virginia's General
Assembly. The past assembly turned
down all such legislation, including even
an Arlington bill for referendum on
the question OF adopting a county sales
tax. What will happen to similar pro-
posals at the next session is still uncer-
tain But dangling before the. Legislature
will be Juicy estimates OF the additional
revenues that a sales tax would produce.
For example, the Ecker RACE report pre-
diets return Of from $40 million to $50
million year from a per cent tax. II
Northern Virginia were permitted to
superimpose local per cent sales tax
on the State levy, So or S4 million could
be collected for badly needed capital
improvements and services across the
Potomac River, The prospects are so
attractive that further kicking around Of
the sales tax issue by the Legislature
would be an act Of responsibility.

ter than it was In the old
days.
People who look back on
them with gratitude and favor,
concentrate on what they re-
member with pleasure.
It is only now and then,
happily, that they recollect the
bad sides of the older days.
In the gay i90s. as they are
universally called. healthy chill
dren invariably made fun, so
they said Of crippled people.
The shouts Of ''Dago, Dago"
went up from even the best
bred little ones when the
Italian street lighter made his
rounds every evening.
Old men who collected trash
from the alleys were greeted
with yells Of derision Of some
sort or other.
We recall that on 18th
street there was an old cole
ored nan-of -all-works who
was called Old Booze.
Old Booze was stocky, bent,
q man Of great physical force,
and q good workman at his
trade of moving lawns. clip
ping hedges and the like.
Left alone, he minded his
own business. but assailed. he
was apt to become unruiy.
Whether the liquor from
which he got his popular name
had a part in this, no small
boy ever knew, because he
never got close enough.
Looking back on it. it seems
odd that what were popularity
regarded as very nice boys
would invariably yell at the
old man.
"Old Booze! Old Boozel"
Some boy would start it. and
the others would take it up
No sooner had the hated
syliables struck the air, than
the man would seize his sickle,
and start after the boys.
Whether he intended real
harm to them. nobody ever
knew. for he never caught any
body. The very sight of him.

was guaranteed to make the
most lethargic boy run like q
deer.
1t was Just another Of the
simple amusements Of q bygone
day. before there were auto
mobiles, radios. movies or tele-
vision sets.
People were simpler, then. In
a very good sense. and also a
bit crueler, or shall we say
more thoughtless Of mental
hurt to others.
Now that we know so much
more today, we ought to be
better, but the eternal question
remains: Are we?
