BROOKLYN EAGLE, SATURDAY, JUNE 16, 1945 National Whirligig Heffernan Says: RAY TUCKER'S New Light on Nazi Depravity Proves Germany's Moral Death LETTER The revela- Out of Disorder Comes Order f- "on of Rriff. 1 n. KUiott I Roosevelt's un- I 1 repaid borrow. from John 1 71 1 I "artford. pre LA Ail 1 idem of the While the character of the Nazi hierarchy has been revealed quite faithfully hy the unfolding of events during the last dark decade, a new light has bern shed upon the utter depravity of the Hitler regime by the last chapter of the drama.

Questions of importance to the future of the (ierman people and of Kurope are raised by what is now known of a transformed nation. How was it possible for people to accept as their leaders men who were basically clowns, murderers and thieves and descend with them 'to the depths? How can the regeneration of this lost ration, once considered enlightened, be brought about" The world has now seen in all of their stark hideousness the leaders whom the German people have acclaimed and iollowed down into ruin. These leadsrs have been fanatics, a number of whom have died by their own hands when overtaken by retribution; plunderers, such as Goer-ing, who have gone about a conquered continent stuffing warehouses and castles with their loot; ruthless persecutors like Streicher, imbued with hatred and prejudice; cold-blooded militarists of the Keitel pe. These men and others, with their infinite assortment of vice, combine to reflect the great evil of Nazism. Even more faithfully than the Fuehrer himself, Himmler stood as a symbol of the darkest era of a nation's history.

What can be done to restore to an acceptable plane of decency a nation which has fallen so low as to trail along for a decade at the heels of these marauders and murderers1 Is there hope for a people which has surrendered itself so wholly to the worst elements of its population? There is no one as yet who has offered with any degree of confidence an affirmative answer to these questions. As Oberprasident of the Rheinprovinz Military District, Lt. Gen. Leonard T. Gerow, military governor, has taken from the political scrap heap where he was cast by the Nazis twelve years ago, Dr.

Hans Fuchs, a Catholic, who has both ideas and hopes. He believes that the salvation of Germany lies in the "inculcation of a new Christian spirit in our youth, a spirit in which both Catholic and Protestant churches must collaborate in teaching." Germany, he insists, must "relearn the principles of brotherly love." Although the prescription for regeneration sounds an ironic note when applied to a nation hich has resorted to mass murder and has shown no signs of repentance, Dr. Fuchs is sincere. There is nothing in the record, however, to give substance to the hope of success. iff in 5000 WORKERS WANTED FOR.

CARRIER REPAIRS unify i- -i 'rtiff Auanuc and Pacific Tea Company, has rocked Washington from Capitol Hill to White House. Despite the distinguished personalities concerned, many members of Congress believe that the matter should not be hush-hushed, in view of its grave Implications. Several Federal agencies were involved and even Mr. Hartford is held partially blameworthy. Advocates of an investigation have no desire to smear any one, least of all the late Chief Executive or his family.

But they do want to ascertain whether the Treasury, the Internal Revenue Bureau, the Federal Communications Commission, the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and the army have been amen-able to political and financial influence. The chronology of the various events in the deal must be kppt in mind to appreciate the significance of the whole affair. Mr. Hartford advanced $200,000 in to aid the President's son in buying radio properties in Texas. All hough he had assumed responsibility for repayment of such a large sum.

Elliott, entered the army in October, 19-10. a an air force captain, with his father's approval. He had not moved to repay a cent at that time. Normally, the War Depart- ment makes a scrupulous investi-gat inn of a man's background before it gives him a commission. One of the first questions the Intelligence Service asks is whether the candidate pays his bills and has a good credit rating.

is true that servicq men are allowed a moratorium on their debts when they join the colors. Rut was rather a large lump for the War Department to wipe off for the duration. Fact is that the army did not look into the fhatter. The Federal Communications Commission is charged by law HELP THAT WOUNDED HERO LETTERS -TO THE EAGLE-1 Out of the amazing confusion of the last fortnight has emerged a Democratic ticket headed by Gen. William O'Dwyer In-opposition to the Republican-managed Fusion ticket headed by Judge Jonah J.

Goldstein. Both tickets indicate the customary study and consideration of census figures, and factors which should have no place in the selection of an efficient city government, but have nevertheless. Judge Samuel Sea-bury, whose prefabricated political structure was built of such materials, now sees with bitter disappointment his house of cards in collapse and denounced the new Fusion as a sham. Since the disorder has resolved Itself into some sort of order, one may consider the way in which the Brooklyn Democratic leader, Frank V. Kelly, mastered a situation of extraordinary difficulty and saved his party from what might have been a crushing defeat.

General O'Dwyer had personal reasons which caused him to reserve till the eleventh hour his decision to run for the Mayoralty. The late President, Mr. Roosevelt, had pressed him to make the campaign, hut hi3 own predilections were for private life or the Supreme Court bench. This left Mr. Kelly uncertain and irritated many of the local district leaders, some of whom had patronage problems connected with the District Attorney's office while others felt that the General would prove a maverick in the campaign and in the City Hall.

When O'Dwyer consulted Mr. Kelly, after the former's return from the West, the Brooklyn leader was convinced that the General would make the best available candidate, assuring the re-election of John Cashmore as Borough President, the eight candidates for Supreme Court honors, and the District Attorney who must filli the vacancy In the District Attorney's office. However, not only local, hut city wide and Statewide considerations vexed the situation. State Democratic leadership desired a city victory for its effect on the gubernatorial campaign of next year and its national implications. Then there was Ed Flypn's outspoken dislike of General O'Dwyer and the factional split in an enfeebled Tammany.

It was not Mr- Kelly who was responsible for the nominations accorded to Manhattan and the Bronx. The Brooklyn leader's adroitness is shown in the way he mastered this situation, mollifying the antagonisms, giving to O'Dwyer satisfactory running mates and preventing a disastrous primary fight. Jt was an exemplification of political technique which assures to General O'Dwyer a united Democratic support and strengthens Kelly's leadership in the city and State. loan to the President's son. Gov-ernment agents did not begin their Investigation of A.

Rut Mr. Hartford's organization had been under Congressional and New Deal attack for almost ten years, or ever since Representative Wright Patman of Texas Introduced his anti-chain store legislation. Therefore, Mr.

Hartford did not want to seem to be placed in the position of "buying influence." York Edison and the others in the metropolitan area. After Mr. Sloan resigned those posts he went into the railroad field and, as hoard chairman and president of the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad, has rehabilitated that famous "Katy" system. Although his duties in those recent years kept him largely in the Southwest, Mr. Sloan maintained his home in Brooklyn on the Heights until his death.

Those were the days from 101!) to 1032 when he was ihe president of the Brooklyn Edison Company and constantly in the public eye. An able engineer, a keen financier and an expert organizer, Mr. Sloan built up the concern's annual revenue from $8,500,000 to $4,000,000 despite several voluntary rate reductions. He was largely responsible for integrating the various power systems in the city and from 102S to 1032 he was also president of the New From the Eagle 25 Years Ago June 1020 Justice Isaac M.

with policing the ownership well as the general behavior as of cash and a chunk of stock in the purchasing corporation. There was no mention that the $200,000 advance which presumably financed his ownership of part of these facilities had not been repaid. RFC Chairman Jesse H. Jones intervened at the request of the Roosevelt family In 19-12 and finally settled for $1,000. The Texan declines to discuss the affair or the questions of the source of his fund and the reason why Mr.

Hartford was willing to lose $106,000 so nonchalantly. On March 17, 1912, the A. and P. executive crossed off the last mentioned amount as a had debt, and so reported to the Bureau of Internal Revenue. Presumably he informed the Government of Elliott's default in the return whirti he filed on March 15, 19)3.

At that time the Internal Revenue Commissioner was Guy T. Helvering of Kansas, who quit in September to become a Federal judge by F. D. appointment. His successor was Robert E.

Hannegan, now Postmaster General and chairman of the Demo-cratic National Committee. It requires at least a year for the Internal Revenue Bureau to pass upon the writing-off of such a heavy debt as Mr. Hartford's, so it is assumed that Mr. Hannegan gave the final approval to ihe liquidation in so far as it affects the Government. To obtain forgiveness for such a large amount is no easy matter, as people w-ho have tried to write off bad debts know.

The creditor must sue or give equally strong evidence that the debtor cannot pay. So far neither Mr. Hannegan nor his successor. Joseph D. Nu-nan, has explained why the debt was written off so easily.

Ironically, the law barring any public discussion or publication of an individual's financial relationship with Uncle Sam also bars them from "explaining."

SEYFR1ED. Suggestions to Combat Disparagement of Boro To the Editor oj the Eagle: Fellow Brooklynites, why not stop these stupid and malicious attacks on our borough? Brooklyn has always been able to "take it" when criticism has been made in the spirit of fun; but it Is going too far when our wonderful borough with its many cultural advantages has become a synonym for Ignorance throughout the world. Write to the sponsors of comedy programs whose so-called comedians feature the Rrooklyn "Jokes." Ask whether they think it a good selling policy to antagonize almost three million people In this manner. This city, like others, should have picture post cards and folders of her fine buildings, streets and parks made and sent far and wide to refute attacks on her appearance.
