The Reserve Cuts
The Pentagon Is now facing a stiff fight in Con-
gress on its proposals to reduce the number of Ar-
my National Guard divisions and reserved forces.
The Pentagon call-up operation last year,
when President John F. Kennedy mobilized some re-
servists because of the Berlin situation, was cer-
tainly not what a military call-up should be.

to go off perfectly, with no snarls or sanafus. But
there were so many in the recent call-up that it must
inevitably reflect upon the planners, the top brass in
the Pentagon.
It is true, of course, that the attitude of some of
the recalled men has not been the best, but when
they see the utter confusion and have senseless du-
ties, or are assigned to activities for which they are
completely unfitted, this aggrivates the problem.
The Pentagon would be on stronger ground, in
this program, if it hadn’t bungled the call-ups last
year. This is not the time — with animosity between
the Pentagon and disgruntled call-ups at a peak —
to whack the reserve and National Guard program.
Ceft&lnlv such action would be best postponed for a
year or two, if indeed it is justifiable at all, which we
are inclined to doubt.

Stills, Still Plentiful in N. Carolina
reported that North Carolina has the devious distinction
of being the state with the most smashed stills.
The IRS report stated that fourteen states account-
ed for more than ninety - four per cent of all the stills
seized in the United States. Seven of these states, in-
cluding North Carolina, accounted for some eighty-five
per cent of the seizures.
This may mean little to the average reader. How-
ever, if he is a taxpayer, it will mean more than he real-
izes. Local law enforcement officers consume a great deal
of time and effort on apprehending not only the operator
but owners of a still. State law enforcement officers are
also paid for this purpose. Many federal authorities are
employed to try to catch and collect taxes from the op-
erations of these stills. These are expenses for the tax
oajfer.
These operations are also a very serious health pro-
blem. Their operation is usually In most unsanitary sur-
roundings and, many times, raiding officers find dead
rats and other foreign matter in their ingredients.

LJUGH SPENCER sipped his
| ‘ * coffee and told Major Tall-

Lven if we had two or three
regiments assigned to do noth-

terfeiters could send their
money out of the city by boat.
“Precisely the conclusion I
reached,” Tallmadge replied.
“It seems to me," Hugh said
carefully, “that the only way
to stop the flow is to cut It off
at the source."
Tallmadge nodded, watching
him intently.
“In other words, we’ll have to
send people into New York to
catch the counterfeiters." Hugh
took a deep breath. "My unit
is the only American organiza-
tion qualified to perform the
task.’’
"I can’t ask you to go into
enemy territory, Spencer. Cap-
tain Nathan Hale, who was
executed during the campaign
in New York, was an old friend
of mine, so I’m particularly
sensitive, 1 guess. Not only
would you run the risk of be
Ing hanged as a spy if they
should catch you, but you’re a
fugitive from British Justice
Your situation is even worse
than that of Sergeant Flaherty
who was freed from his inden
ture.”
Hugh smiled, but his eyes re
malned serious. “Can you sug
gest any alternatives, Major?
“We have no agents in New
York who know even a small
fraction as much about counter-
feiting as you and your men.
"Then it seems obvious that
1 have no choice." Hugh put
his coffee mug on the table and
turned It slowly. "August Dale
is probably the most expert
counterfeiter on earth."
“So I gathered from the writ-
ten report that you sent to me,
Spencer."

NEW YORK, — A sign prom-
inently displayed at a tomb-
stone manufacturing concern
offers this reminder: j
“Please drive carefully. We
can wait.”
Tallmadge listened and wait-
ed patiently.
"Certainly Sergeant Flaherty
has demonstrated his loyalty to
us, so I’d trust him anywhere,
under any circumstances. But
he was a minor counterfeiter.
He has a great deal of technical
knowledge that he applied on a
small scale, but he lacked the
Imagination to expand, as Au-
gust Dale and his daughter did
before we found them at West-
erly. I don’t know where Dale
has hidden his money, but Fla-
herty assures me that he has
a fortune. He was wealthy
when he and his daughter came
to America, an<* he’s acquired
even more since that time."
The major became tense.
“Just exactly what are you try-
ing to suggest Spencer?"
"I’m volunteering to lead my
unit to New York, find the
counterfeiters of Continental
dollars and destroy their equip-
ment Naturally, If one of my
men doesn’t want to take the
risks involved, I’ll excuse him
from the assignment"
"That’s understood, of course.”
Tallmadge poured himself an-
other cup of coffee from a pew-
ter pitcher. "I thought you were
hinting at something more."
”1 was, sir.” Hugh steeled
himself. "I have an unorthodox
idea that would fool the British,
I believe. The Simpson brothers
and I are men of military age,
and even Flaherty might con-
ceivably be an American militia-
man. But a pretty girl and a
white-haired man with the man-
ners of a great lord are the
last people on earth the enemy
would suspect. So 1 propose
that Dale and his daughter be
paroled Into my custody and
accompany the expedition.”
Tallmadge stared at him for
some moments. "To what extent
is your plan motivated by per-
sonal feelings?” he demanded
bluntly.
‘Tm not sure I know the an-
swer to that, sir. But I’ll be
frank with you to the best of
my ability. There was a time,
long ago, when I Imagined my-
self in love with Katie Dale,
whom I knew under another
name. It was her perfidy that
caused all of my trouble with
the crown, and I imagined I
hated her. 1 don’t, as I discov-
ered on the day I arrested her
and her father In Westerly.
Also, I don’t like being directly
responsible for sending her to
prison, which may be weak-
ness."
"1 think not I can sympa-
thize with your position.”
"Thank you. Major." Hugh’s
hand trembled as he poured
himself another cup of coffee.
Tm still attracted to her. I
can’t and won’t deny lt But
I’m not In love with her,” he
added, and, aware that he was
speaking too loudly, controlled
his voice. "I couldn’t love some-
one I don’t respect, and it would
be impossible for me to respect
an adventuress who has spent
her whole life as a counter-
feiter’s accomplice. I need hard-
ly add that as she caused all of
my woes, I find lt difficult to
look on her with favor.”
Tallmadge weighed the reply
and glanced around the room
before asking, "What would be
the advantage of using the Dale
girl and her father In your ven-
ture, Spencer?”
"The success Tvs employed
on a smaller scale utilizing the
same tactics. Flaherty and the
Simpsons have been valuable,
but they’re amateurs, relatively
speaking. As I have good rea-
son to know from personal ex-
perience, the Dales are a bril-
liant team. They’re ruthless,
they know every trick of the
counterfeiting trade and they
have an unmatched ability to
escape from unpleasant situa-
tions. Our policy of ‘using
thieves to catch thieves* has
proved effective so far, and 1
believe that the Dales would
be the best of all possible re-
inforcements for the Scoundrels’
Brigade."
“You present a strong argu-
ment," Tallmadge said, "but
there’s a question you haven’t
answered. Can you trust them ?”
Deeply troubled, Hugh looked
across the table at his superior.
“I don’t know, Major," he said
frankly.
"They saved their own skins
at your expense once before.
They might be tempted to do it
again.”
“I’ve thought of the possi-
bility. But if they hand me
over to the British, they’ll be
placing themselves In Jeopardy.
August Dale isn’t in a position
to let the crown authorities ex-
amine his background closely.
He doesn’t want to be sent back
to England for trial."
"What Incentive might per-
suade him to work for you?”
“The hope of gaining his free-
dom."
Tallmadge shook his head
dubiously. "We couldn’t prom-
ise him that Rhode Island would
drop its charges against him.”
No, sir, of course not, But
let’s assume that he and hie
daughter help us to break up
the counterfeiting ring In New
York. If they perform a real
service for the United States,
a letter from General Washing-
ton would Influence the Rhode
Island court"
“I can't speak for the gen-
eral, so I don’t really know
whether he’d be willing to write
such a letter.”
Hugh hid his disappointment
"I understand, Major.”
“I’ll speak to him when I re-
turn to headquarters, and I’ll
ask for a further postponement
in the trial of the Dales until
we can clarify the situation.”
"Thank you.”
“I’m prepared to recommend
that General Washington accept
your plan, Spencer, although I
believe you’re taking on a fresh
burden that may cause a dis-
aster. However, I believe In giv-
ing a competent man the au-
thority to solve his problems in
his own way. And even though
your scheme doesn’t appeal to
me, you give me little choice.”
“I believe the Dales can be
a strong asset Our chance of
finding the counterfeiters will
be Improved by adding them to
my unit."
“Surely you realize that you’d
be taking a serious personal
risk ?’*
Hugh smiled faintly. "It’s a
calculated risk. And If I should
fail because of their treachery.
I'd have no one to blame but
myself.”

Non-partisan

By HUNKY OATHOART
Central Press Association Washington Writer
TTTAflHENGTON—Here’* an example of the kind of thing
W government leaders get involved fat in the world of what'
la known aa practical politics.
Sen. Everett McKinley Dirksen, of Illinois, fat the Republican
leader of the Senate. He'a up for re-election for a third alx-year
term and just the other day sailed successfully through a pro-
forma primary election fat his state.
His opponent for the aeat will tie Rep.,
Sidney R. Yates, Chicago Democrat and the:
hand-picked man for the Job by the political ’■
leaders In the state.
For the last several months, Yates’ sup-
porters have been trying, without success, to
get a commitment from the White House to
have President Kennedy come into the state
and campaign for him when the election gets
hot
They're rather piqued that they’ve not been
able to get a commitment from Kennedy «o
far, particularly fat view of the hard, loyal1
work done by the Illinois Democratic ma-
chine in getting out the vote far Kennedy fat
the I960 presidential elections. ,
However, Kennedy and his political ad-;
visors aren’t sure that they want to see Dirksen defeated. Dirk-1
sen is a relatively moderate Republican fat their book. They
have some concern over what they'd get fat the way of a Re-
publican leader In the event he should be defeated.
As an example of Dirkaen’s value to the Democratic pregnm*,,
White House aides point to the eminently satisfactory com-;
promise that was worked out In the Senate with Dlrksen’s helf»
on the United Nations bond purchase squabble. In their eyes,
Dirksen displayed a great sense of nan-partisan rntHnrinn in'
helping to find the avenue of successful compromise,
Dirksen has been instrumental in supporting other admlnistra-
tion goals on Capitol Hill when more conservative Republicans
were opposed. Kennedy's aides can't help but wonder whether
Dirksen, rather Chan Yates, as a senator tram XBlnoto wouldn’t
