sometimes, evenings, in his pent-
house. But his Brewster home is
out of bounds for nearly every
body. There, he retires week-ends,
with only his bodyguard-chauf-

hours in his well-stocked library
at Brewster; listens to classical
music, either on records or over

Assist taxpayers
In Making Returns

District Director of Internal
Revenue, William E. Frank, today
announced plans for assisting the
taxpayers in Washington and Alas
ka who will need help in prepar-
ing their income tax forms during
the coming filing period.
Aware that income tax forms are
not always as easy to make out as
they are made out to be, the Seat
tie District office has developed a
program aimed at helping the tax
payer and speeding the processing
of the tax returns.
Along with the blank forms on
which each taxpayer will prepare
his 1855 return will be specially
developed pamphlet on how to pre-
pare income tax returns.
Most taxpayers should be able to
prepare their own income tax re-
turns with the aid of information
in the booklet.
Information obtained from a
survey made last year indicated
that more than so per cent of
those persons who visited the In
ternal Revenue Service offices
throughout the nation for help adj
mitted they had not made use of
the 1854 information booklet. A
large number of the taxpayers as
sisted last year displayed a know
ledge of the tax return far in ex-
cess of the effort expended by
them in preliminary work on the
return.

New Providence Hospital

Dedication yesterday of the new Prov
idence Hospital marked the beginning
of another era of community service for
one of Washington'S older institutions
of mercy. Established during the Civil
War by the Catholic Sisters of Charity,
Providence's 95 years of self1ess devotion
to the needs of the city's sick and dis
abled citizens of all creeds have won for
it the respect and confidence of everyone.
The modern $8-million building at
Twelfth and Varnum streets NE, which
soon will be in operation, will provide
welcome change for the staff and pa
tients, esthetically and technically. The
hospital long ago outgrew its Civil War
period home at Second and D streets Sc.
The new building will be adequately
equipped with all the devices which medi-
cal science has developed to alleviate the
suffering of the ailing and the MANNED.
The rebirth of Providence Hospital adds
substantially to the city's developing re-
sources for meeting the medical and sur
gical needs of the growing Washington
area-both in time of peace and in local
or national emergencies.

another word for treason in the USSR,
and the exile himself was ceaselessly and
venomously DETAINED by Moscow's propa-
gandists until an assassin-not improb-
ably Stalinist agent-hacked him to
death near Mexico City in 1910.
Considered against this background,
any move to restore Leon Trotsky to a
position of Soviet glory would be Sensa-
tional in the extreme. And needless to
say, when and If they make such move,
Mr.. Khrushchev and company will be
delivering kind of coup de grace to
Stalin's reputation. Small wonder that
rumors along this line, together with con-
crete evidences of systematic Kremlin
drive to downgrade the old dictator, have

Senate-House District Fiscal
Affairs Subcommittee. for his
strong, steady support Of the

to the District.
In his comments on the Dis
trict's plight. Representative
Smith alluded to a terrible
situation in the school sys-
tenn" He largely blamed the
situation on overly rapid in
tegration.
That integration highlighted
educational problems in the
District is certainly true. But
the problems were there, grow
ing over the years. and made
quately defined and dealt with
in the yearly budget mill.
Whether integration was
fast or slow does not have as
much a bearing on the situa-
ton as facing the fact that
the difficulties are of long
previous existence. and that
now as a community, with
needed constructive co-opera-
tion from Commissioners and

a backlog of needs unsatis-
factorily discharged over a pc
riod of years.

Russia Pays a Bill

1t is gratifying, and perhaps even
significant, that the Kremlin has re-
sponded satisfactorily to the bill our
country submitted last January in con-
nection with the Neptune incident. The
Neptune, one of our Navy's patrol planes,
was shot down in June, 1855, while carry
ing out legitimate routine mission over
the Bering Sea. It was shot down by
Soviet aircraft Gust before the Big Four
Geneva summit" conference) and at the
time Foreign Minister Molotov, while
absolving Russia of any blame, quickly
expressed regret and agreed that his
government should pay half the damages.
The damages, as computed by the
Navy amounted to total of 81 ,449, 1856,
including compensation for injured Amer
lean personnel. Accordingly, in it's jan
uary note, the State Department called
upon the Kremlin to remit exactly half
that sum, or $724,947.68. The department
also made clear to the Soviet Union that
the United States, in agreeing to such
settlement, In no sense condoned the
"illegality" Of what the Russian planes
had done. And 1t emphasized, too, that
the Neptune and its crew we're completely
innocent of having intruded upon the
air space of Russia or having done any
thing contrary to the international law
governing aerial operations.
In replying now to this note, the
Kremlin has continued to insist upon its
blamelessness, but it has nonetheless in
closed check for $724,94768. The pay
ment is well worth noting for the simple
reason-as pointed out by Lincoln White,
the State Departments press officer
that the Soviet Union and its satellites
have never before made such settlement.
True, one swallow does not make sum-
mer, but Russia's conduct in this matter
tends to support the view that Mr..
Khrushchev and the other collective
leaders" In Moscow may really be anxious
to have reasonable relations with the
West. If so, good. If so, wonderful!

Up Trotsky?

If some reports are to be believed,
Russia's collective leaders" are planning
to rehabilitate the reputation OF Leon
Trotsky even as they tear down that OF
Josef Stain. OF course, since the reports
are not particularly authoritative, they
must be taken with more than q few
grains of salt. Yet, historically and other
wise, they are neither illogical nor
implausible.
Thus, to begin with, Nikita Khrush-
chev and his colleagues have already
publicly indicated-at the recent Commu-
mist congress in MoScow-that they intend
to bestow posthumous honors on num-
ber of comrades who were reviled and
nquidated in Stalin's day. They have
mentioned some of them by name, and
although they have not referred Specifi-
cally to Trotsky, they have said enough
to suggest at least the possibility that
they may suddenly acclaim him, one OF
these days, as a grand old hero and
great founding father of the Soviet Union.
Assuming that today's Kremlin Is
really intent upon destroying the Stain
ist myth, such acclamation would be both
logical and plausible. For next to Nicolal
Lenin himself-who in his dying days
gravely mistruSted Stalin-TrotSky was
probably the most important leader OF
the 1917 Bolshevik revolution. Born in
1879, son of middle class Jewish family
named Bronstein, he was flaming revo-
lutionary from early youth onward. After
serving for a while as Soviet Commissar
for Foreign Affairs, he became CommiSsar
of War, and in that neutrality-suspicious.
a wealth of gifts and even genius-he
grew to be an overShadowing figure in the
USSR as organizer of the Red army. AT
that time, judging from all appearances,
the Russian world was his oyster, and
there seemed little doubt that he would
eventually reach the summit of personal
power as a dictator without rival.
But then, after Lenin's death, bitter
enmity festered between TrotSky and
Stain. The latter, after having Shrewdly
maneuvered himself into a strategically
solid political position, was sufficiently
powerful by 1925 to Danish his rival to
Turkestan. And few years later, in 1929,
the banishment was complete. There
after, throughout Stalins rule, Trotsky
was painted as perhaps the most infamous
of all criminals in Soviet history, and woe
betide any Russian accused Of being his

No More Quotas

Internal Revenue Commissioner Har-
rington has shown good Judgment in
abolishing the so-called quota system"
of rating employees efficiency. Under this
system, some of the field offices of the
Internal Revenue Service fixed monthly
Office and individual employe quotas OF
"cases completed"-presumably by order
of Washington headquarters. The quotas
were supposed to be met, regardless OF the
complexity of the cases involved. This
was manifestly unfair for employees as
signed to unusually difficult cases. Nat
urally, there was grumbling and discon-
tent over the quota plan.
The quota system developed during
the service as commissioner of T. Coleman
Andrews, who was charged by President
Eisenhower with the task of cleaning up
a bureau that had been rocked by scan
dals and evidences of inefficiency. 1t Is
erroneous, however, to attribute the eS-
tablishment of workload quotas to Mr.
Andrews. Actually, in seeking to improve
bureau efficiency, the former commits
sioner went no further than to urge that
tagging field Offices strive to step up the

that would equal or exceed the average
workload of the ga field units.
Unfortunately, some Of the field
date to reach certain quotas, rather than
aim for goals. The result was to place
all employees on an individual quota basis
that was unfair and often unavoidable.
It is this system" born of misunder-
standing and, perhaps, overzealousness,
that has been scrapped by Commissioner
Harrington. Hereafter, the heads of units
will be held responsible for efficient han
ding of cases by employes-with due
regard. to complexity of tasks assigned.
That is as it should be in any well-run
organization.
