Traffic and Building

TOUCH of realistic thinking by Congress about con-
IA ditions in the National Capital is welcome thing
And even if the construction of the much-needed new
building to house the War Department is to be delayed
it is pleasant to hear House Committee announce that
hereafter in the building of public structures some con-
o,u,;ttoo cooo sideration will be given to traffic
IT, puoh1ou and similar problems.
In its report on the deficiency
bill the House Appropriations Committee says:
They he commttee) do believe that before ann more
large structures not pressingy needed to be under
taken for office purposes IN the District of Columbia that
most careful planning and consideration qvould be given
to their location to Avoid congestion in an area of the
city already crowded ah Federal structures and present.

Palestine Policy

At last our country has acted,
through its State Department,
to safeguard the interests Of
American Jews in Palestine.
In keeping with our policy in
China, it is only natural that
some action should be taken by
our Government now that pos
sibility Of Britain's resigning its
mandate over Palestine becomes
daily more imminent.
Almost 4, 100000 Jews living in
America are concerned with
what happens in the Holy Land.
Many Of them have sent rela-
tiveS there and there is a great
deal Of American capital in.
vested there.
Perhaps the fact that this
country has always professed q
philosophy Of tolerance and
democracy would also justify
our State Departments demands
that nothing be done under the
mandate by Great Britain which
would prejudice the rights Of
American Jews in Palestine, a

Sex Crime Prevention

0N the subject of preventing such CHASTITY things
" the last two weeks murders of two little girls by
adult male degenerates it seemed to us that some COM
mon sense remarks made by two
prominent students of sex crimes
DC" M"'"e'S Interviewed in New York, Magis
trate Anna NJ. Kross said in part:
These fiends, or perverts degeneraes, sadsts,
or psycopaths whatever you want to call them, give
plenty of warning before they strike to kill.
There isn't magistrate who has been on the bench
for any length of time who hasn't had anywhere from
dozen to hundred before him.
Yet under the present setup, we let them slip right
through figners.
would have competent psychiatrst and physician
attached regularly to every magistrates court Every
prisoner arrested for offense matter how insg
nificant would be subjected to examination.
If the initial test convinced the psychiatrist that
further examination warranted the prisoner would
be sent to Bellevue Hospital for observation. Them
before he his release he would have to be passed by
board of competent alienists.
Under this SYSTEM potential murderers who
turned loose with as little SIS fine would be
detected and put out of harms way before their sexuay
perverted minds led them to murder.
Dr. Israel Strauss, head of the New York Academy
of Medicines committee medical jurisprudence,
said he believed every who is guilty of impairng
the morals of minor is potential murderer. DR..
Strauss would have every such person. first ofense
given an ndeterminate sentence in an institution for
psychopaths. There he would be either cured of his
abnormal tendencies or kept until he died.
These suggestions seem sound to us. Though the
expense would be considerable, it would be small as
compared to prevention of such crimes as the Paula
Magagna and Joan Kueba murders and the increased
peace of mind of parents of little children.
As for longer-range prevention we think the best
single step that could be taken would be to rule out
insanity defense in these cases. to make crimnally
Death perotv insane murderers liable to the death
M, penalty just as sane murderers are.
''' D'''O' That would permanently remove an
occasional human mad dog from circulation and destroy
the danger of his reproducing his kind.
In reiteratng this suggestion, we have no idea of
social vengeance The purpose would be merely social
sanitation-ridding society of human beings whose
uncomfortable emotions make them comparable to
tuberculosis syphilis germs in the body of society,"

YOU'RE NOT ALONE

mas ever 1elC ike GnlS pe1ore.
If only someone had-if you
could be sure that someone else
had faced and, perhaps, con-
qdered such inner desolation-it
wouldn't be so hard to stand.
But it is so plain they haven't.
Look at their smiles! See how
easily they chat; how eagerly
they go on to some new adven-
ture.
They couldn't possibly act
like that" you say to yourself,
"if they felt as I feel!"
But you're wrong, stranger.
EVERYTHING THAT YOU
ARE FEELING. SOMEBODY
ELSE HAS FELT, SOMEBODY
ELSE IS FEELING RIGHT AT
THIS MOMENT.
Those smiling faces are o
mask.
Your face, also, wears a smile,
which you know to be a mask.
Your real life isn't lived in the
open, there in your smiling lips
or in your busy hands. All that
is just a cover-up. Your real
life is lived behind all that, in
the secret places Of your spirit,
alone with your Self.
You Are Not
Alone
AND THE THINGS THAT
ARE HAPPENING TO YOU
IN YOUR SECRET LIFE ARE
ALSO HAPPENING TO THEM.
You are not alone. The things
you feel are not personal. They
are part Of all human expert
ence.
How do know? BY my own
experience.
Once, /, too, felt as you are
feeling now. I have had q diff
cult and painful life, crowded
with tragic experiences, and the
most tragic experience Of all
was that constant sense Of loneli-
ness, the feeling that nobody
else had suffered as I was suffer
ing; nobody else had ever been
bewildered, SO discouraged, so
empty.
And then I took this job.
And each day. across my desk,
and into my office, flowed the
record Of hundreds of other
lives. Letters and letters-some
written arrogantly on beautiful
white paper; some scrawled reck-
lessly on smeared scraps.
AND EACH LETTER AND
EACH FACE REVEALING THE
SAME RECORD-THE IDENTI-
CAL SYMPTOMS OF FEAR
AND HATE AND HUNGER
AND DESPAIR!
Not a
Comfort
Amazing! Thousands Of let
tiers and faces, so dissimilar on
the surface, so similar behind
the mask. And, most amazing
Of all, there in those records I
found my own record, which I
had thought was so different,
so secret, so peculiar and per.
Sonal!
For years I had gone through
life feeling that I was all alone,
and now I found that I had
never been alone. Always those
invisible millions had walked
with me, wept with me, dreamed
with me, despaired with me!
This discovery, Of course,
should have been a great COM
fort-but it wasn't. At first, I'll
confess, it made me a little mad,
I found I had been getting a
doleful thrill out Of thinking
that I was the worlds exclusive
sufferer, and now I didn't want
to admit, I really resented the
fact that I wasn't exclusive at
all!
But that conceit passed pres
emily, and then comfort came
1t has never left me since. Nc
matter what happens to me now
I know that am not alone.
know that all the rest of the
world walks with me.
That knowledge is my richest
possession. 1t opens the door
