The politics of the dis pute between Republicans and Democrats is beautiful in its sim plicity beautiful, that is, from the Democratic side of the argu ment. , The Democrats propose to load the tax reduction bill tn favor of the vast multitude of so-ciuled littie fellows.

Samuel Dash said today no political figure” has tried to interfere in the official investigation into the abortion death of heiress Doris Jean Ostreicher. Dash made the remark in com menting on reports that "political figures” tried to have the body of the 22-year-old bride of two months released by the morgue without an autopsy on Aug. 25. the day after she died. An autopsy was made and it showed Mrs. Ostreicher died from an attempt at criminal abortion. A coroner’s inquest later ruled her death a homicide. Dash said the reports of “pre sure” put on morgue personnel “will be checked into thoroughly before the case comes to trial.” “However,” he said, “nobody has endeavored countering me in this case. No person connected with politics or religion has pleaded mercy for anyone.’’ One of Dash’s assistants, Stanley Bashman, said the heiress’ hus band, Earl Ostreicher, a Miami Beach, Fla., policeman with whom she eloped two months before her death, will come to Philadelphia with his attorney Monday to attend the arraignment of Mr. and Mrs Milton Schwartz, who are charged with performing the abortion at tempt. Bashman said Ostreicher and his attorney. Marshall Ader. will insti tute court action to arrange for an inventory of his wife’s estate.

Any way you look at it, Rodney Chestnut’s A & W tavern, located on South Railroad Avenue just across from the Post Office, is doomed to go. It was just a question of who gets there first—Federal tax men in the process of seizing ail his property for income tax evasion, the Town of Dunn or enforcement officers of the State ABC Board. Last week, the 47-year-old Dunn business man entered Federal pri son to serve an 18-months term for criminal income tax evasion. He admitted to Federal Judge Don Gilliam that he filed fake income tax returns and that he owed the government $26,000. , CIVIL ACTION In addition to serving the prison 1 by police, said the young Negro , demanded money, then drew a i knife and forced her to disrobe.
