Frances Mystery
Soldier May Win
Legal Kin Soon
Experts to Fix Status of
Man Losing Memory in
War Suffering

PARIS. Feb. 9.-CUP).-Thc
mystery of Frances forgotten
man." known as Anthclmc Man
gin because amncSia resulting
from war experiences caused him
to forget his identity, soon may
be cleared up by medical experts
and psychiatriSts.
The case of the forgotten
man" has received much atten-
ton, with the result that two
sympathetic families have claim
ed him as their own and have
even gone to court over the dis
pute.
Twenty years ago, soldier,
minus any Identification marks,
was found wandering about a rail
road station suffering from Man.
gin because this was the first word
he muttercd when questioned by
French authorities. He couldn't
remember his first name, so he
chose that of Anthclmc.
Since then, women have come
from all over France hopeful of
identifying the amneSia victim as
a husband, brother, son OF rela-
tive lost in the war. The Mont
join family in Nantes identified
and claimed him. Similarity of
the nameS-MontiOin and Hangin
seemed plausible, rs both are
pronounced almost alike and also
he bears certain resemblance to
other members of the family. The
soldier could not remember the
MontjOinS, but was willing to JON
them when Nine. j. LCmary step
ped forward and said that this
man was her husband who had
been reportc, missing since the
war and had lever been heard OF
since.
Both families seem sure of the
forgotten mans identity and
both have furnished sets of photo
graphs which are not unlike the
amneSia victim. Nine. Lemary
went SO far us to bring suit for the
return of her husband, but no one
was able to decide the identity Of
the soldier.
Mangin, anxious to have the
of his identity settled and
to have Il fixed civil status, is sub
hitting himself to expert phySi-
clans and scientists who, after
thorough examination Of the vic
tim and the so-called families, will
decide whether he is a Montjoin
on the lost husband of Nine. Lc-
mary.

the initial inspiration Of the lanes and
the fetes with which they usually are
inaugurated, the result rises above COM
mercialism, perhaps in spite of the
sponsors. True the lanes help make
shopping gay and pleasant. But they
afford much pleasure to non-shoppers,
too They help develop community
spirit. They raise the pride of resi-
dents and reflect the buoyancy of the
season. Consciously or not, when a
community crowns a yule queen it en-
thrones unselhshness and magnanimity.
And Christmas lanes light much more
than business houses. They shed a well
come, external brightness on those other
places along Main street that already
are bright inside at this season-homes,
churches, clubs, firehouses and police
stations where men and women prepare
gifts of food, clothing and toys for the
needy.
Main street, with all it's pettiness, loses
its identity in Christmas lane. But best
Of all, Christmas lane will not stay on
Main street. Like tree branching out
in all directions, it extends into all the
little streets where candles in the win
dows, and lights on the porches and
lawns and shrubbery attract st. Nicholas
even more successfully than all the neon
signs and pretentious display of Main
street. Santa Claus knows that Christ
mas lane leads past shops and stores,
but ends in Home street, where the
brightest lights of all come from the
sparkling eyes of his juvenile wor-
shippers.

''Confidence" Money
Camouflaged as Credit

To the Editor OF The Star:
A recent speech in the House of Com
mons by British Conservative has been
widely quoted in this country in what
seems really unjust criticism of Presi-
dent Roosevelt
Injustice TO the President, however.
doesn't matter so much except as it
Is unfair to the issues involved Those
issues matter a lot; and to attempt to
conceal the plain evils of the British
American banking system with its conf
dence' money cleverly camoufaged as
credit" by attributing this recession
in the so-called business cycle" to MIR
Roosevelt's attempt to warn against
the rising tide of credit" imitation last
spring, would be ridiculous were it not
so tragic in its implications.
The payroll tax employed to erect
the so-called social security reserves
by discharging Government credits
with the banks or reducing the rate of
their formation in pump priming" has
had lar more to do with this recession
than the Presidents opinions. AS long
as we continue to use this British money
and banking system, balancing the bud
get with taxes will not be feasible with
out constant threat of monetary
stringency with all its dire consequences.

Tuberculosis Control.
tuberculosis is communicable dises

tuberculosis is a communicable disease
On this point medical opinion seems
to be unanimous. The very nature OF
the malady, however, makes it difficult
to control as other communicable dis
eases are controlled. 1t is not, except in
its most severe stages confining dis
ease Victims continue as best they can
to follow their ordinary pursuits. Many
have it and never know it. Possibly they
can spread the germs without knowing
they carry them.
The most general public health prac-
tice has been to allow the tubercular in
dividual wide degree of freedom, en-
joining him against such practices as
expectoration, by which the tubercle
bacillus is spread. If he fagrantly dis
regards such injunctions it is possible
to proceed against him under the nui-
sance laws.
Several States, however, have more
specific laws. Minnesota, Illinois, Kan
sas, Missouri, Montana, Oklahoma and
Tennessee have statutes authorizing the
placarding OF houses where tuberculous
persons reside, especially when they are
ignoring sanitary requirements. New
York, Illinois and Virginia have laws
authorizing the confinement of a per-
son who is deemed a menace to the pub
lie health. There is now test case in
tho nietrict rf Col,,pohio ~ Jeta
the authority of the health officer in
such circumstances.
WaShingtons tuberculosis record is
bad. More specific provisions for the
protection of the public against careless
spreaders of the dreaded bacillus NAV
be advisable. On the whole, however.
legislative bodies have been loath to
enact stringent laws which may impose
undue hardship on persons innocent Of
everything except misfortune and who
are not menaces to the public health If
they themselves take due precautions.
The problem is a difficult one. 1t Is
far more complicated than in such
Virulent diseases as small pox or typhoid
fever, where the danger of communica-
ton is acute but extends over a rela-
lively short period, and where the VIC
tins relatively are few. But the tuber-
culous individual himself must be his
own policeman-always the best sort of
policeman-if headway is to be made
against the ravages of the white plague
in Washington.

No Franco Recognition.

General Franco has Just knocked on
the door of American recognition and
found 1t locked. Evidently encouraged
by his success in obtaining virtually de
facto British acknowledgment of his
regime, the master of insurgent Spain
ventured upon a subtle scheme to obtain
something of the sort at Washington.
The effort was promptly and effectually
nipped in the bud
Several weeks ago William E. Chap
man, American Consul at Bilbao, which
was captured by the insurgents last
fall, was given a leave of absence to
come back to this country because
Frances authorities were obstructing his
return to his post. AS Secretary Hull
was both surprised by, and resentful of,
the insurgents attitude, he announced
there would be no further effort to re-
open the Bilbao consulate until the rebel
military representatives receded from
their position.
Thereupon they demanded that Mr.
Chapman resume his duty as a diplo-
matte representative as we'll as a con-
sular officer. The State Departments
logical assumption is that Franco would
consider such a designation of our rep
resentatlve as tacit recognition by this
Government. Secretary Hull indicated
that the United States has no such in
tention. 1t was also emphasized that If
Mr.. Chapman eventually does return to
Bilbao, it will be in the same capacity
in which he previously functioned.
General Franco may have been in
spired to try his indirect recognition
dodge on Uncle Sam by the method
adopted by Japan to please Mussolini
Not long ago Toxic announced that the
Japanese Legation in Adds Ababa would
be converted into a consulate, thus
signaling that sovereignty in Ethiopia
had changed hands. Last month Great
Britain agreed to exchange Commercial
agents" with the Spanish insurgents. Her
motive was to safeguard the great Rio
Tinto copper fields in Franco-held terri
tory, which represent an important
British investment. Pertinent in this
connection is the circumstance that al
though the United States maintains con-
sular agencies in Manchukuo, they con-
tinue to be accredited to the Chinese
government, instead of the puppet state
set up by Japan in the conquered prov
tnce.

Sees Link Between
Crime and Unemployment

To the Editor OF The Star:
Your editorial entitled Parole Ad-
minlstratlon' has been read by this
writer. You refer to the three men who
kidnapped Doctor Ceder, a retired min
iSter. They, all three, deserve to pay the
full penalty for their crime 1t was a
brutal, lnhuman act from start to finish.
Booth, the ringleader, came from
most excellent family and the pardon
was granted on the recommendation of
all the court officials, including the
judge and prosecuting attorney and
many good. substantial citizens of WAYNE
County. He was a World War veteran
ana looked like good prospect to
Governor Kump, who issued the condi-
tional pardon
The other two boys came from good
families and were first offenders.
There is another element in this
case. All three men were out of work
and IN very destitute condition. All
three were, l am told, suffering from
"acidoSis" contracted while in prison
AT this moment we have about 400 900
eX-convicts in the United States out
OF work, There will be more crime until
this condition is relieved. The Prisoners
Relief Society is now engaged in estab-
hshlng Nationwide chain of farm
projects to be used to help these re-
turning convicts and TO keep them from
want and from becoming wanton. One

Lindberghs Return.

News of the return of Colonel Charles
A. Lindbergh and his wife from "volun-
tary exile abroad has been received with
interest by millions of people who admire
and wish them well. 1t is indicated that
their visit home may not be of long dura-
ton, but it is hoped that it may lead to
an eventual establishment of their
residence In the United States. The
privacy they desire ought to be feasible
here.
Perhaps Colonel Lindbergh himself
might contribute toward that end by a
reasonable alteration of policy with re-
gard to publicity. BY arrangement with
accredited representatives of the press, it
should be possible for him to preserve
whatever degree of isolation he really
wishes yet concede something to the
natural and instructive curiosity of a
large and not altogether impolite public.
The newspapers, surely, should cooper
ate to the fullest extent
Colonel Lindbergh needs no reassur-
ance as to the bright continuance of the
fame which he won by his flight from New
York to Paris in 1927 and his subsequent
tours of South America and the Orient.
He still is famous, still an heroic figure.
Nor can anything change his position in
the history of his time. He has the
admiration of millions. Also, he enjoys
wide and generous sympathy. His coun-
try is glad to welcome him home and
trusts that he will have pleasant and
congenial stay in his native land.
