WASHINGTON, June II. up
A lot of people have wondered why
the United States has ministers IN
some capitals and ambassadors IN
others and why But 1t remained
for Representative Oliver, (Dem.l
Alabama, to ask the state depart
ment.
Assistant Secretary of State Carr
said:
An ambassador is presumed TO
have access to the sovereign OF a
country, whereas a minister has &C
cess only to the foreign office.
There is no real difference in func-
tion, but there is difference in
dignity. An ambassador is entII,Ed
10 precedence over minister.
1T IS an interesting thing to re-
call that one of the main reasons
we raised our mission in Turkey
years ago to an embassy was be-
cause our minister would go TO the
foreign office time after time and
wait in the ante-room and be UN-
able TO see the minister Of foreign
affairs promptly. because the am
bassadors there got IN ahead OF
him"

HOLD THE VERDICT

CTARTLING as was the Lindbergh case
u and its subsequent tragedies, equal
~ startling is the latest development
the suicide of a maid in the home of
Mrs. Morrow, grandmother of the infant
whose kidnapping and death shocked the
world.
Since the tragic death of the girl yes
terday, two widely divergent pictures of
her have been drawn. Mrs. Morrow
stoutly asserts her belief in the girls
innocence, blaming worry and ill-health
for her act in taking her life. Against
this the police paint her as an accom-
plice Of the baby's kidnapers who sought
death as the only way out Of the net
which had been woven about her.
If Mrs. Morrow'S view is the correct
one, the police have made another blum
der in bounding a girl to the grave. If
the police view is correct, it is little to
their credit that something more definite
could not be brought against the girl in
all the time that has elapsed since the
tragedy.
If the police were not satisfied with
the stories she told, and they claim this
to be a fact, the layman is justified in
wondering why it took them SO long to
pin upon her evidence which is now pre-
sented to implicate her in the plot.
All who have followed the case must
believe that the police bungled it badly.
There was too much divided authority;
too much jealousy among the various
branches of the police, each being afraid
that the other would get credit in case
something tangible turned up.
The fact that the maid kept poison at
hand and that her statements as to her
activities on March l are vague, certain
ly tend to point suspicion toward her.
But in fairness to one who cannot de-
fend herself, it might be we'll to with
hold opinion on her until something
more definite has been unearthed.
