SENATOR MINTON
AND THE PRESS

Detroit Free Press
Senator MintOn has a bill in Washing
ton to make it criminal offense for any
newspaper moving in interstate COM
merce to publish, as fact, anything it
knows to be false.
As a companion piece, Senator Minton
should introduce resolution to amend
the Constitution so as to make it possible
to hold senators and congressman ac-
countable for the accuracy of statements
which they make in the Congressional
Record, which mails in interstate COM
merce free of postage.
While newspapers are humanity Imper-
feet and fallible, reputable newspaper
has too much at stake to publish as true
what it knows to be false.
The considerations of self-jnterest and
public duty, which operate to make news
papers as accurate as possible, appar-
emily are impotent TO protect citizens
from character assassination in congress
whose members can hide behind a con
gressional provision that makes them un-
accountable in any other place-courts,
for example-for what they utter on the
floor of the senate or house.

TOTALlTARIAN GOVERNMENT
EFFECTED IN The CIO

The new Congress for Industrial Or
ganization national constitution achieves
within the framework of that organiza-
tion the very thing CIO leaders have crit
icized SO harshly in Germany and other
national gov ernments. 1t makes of the
CIO tota'Itarian organization, directed
by dict; tor.
John L. Lewis, who still nurses half
formed 1910 presidential hopes, is the
dictator. The only tribute Lewis ever
pays to democracy is paid in his public
speeches; his actions are anything but
democratic.
This totalitarian form of labor union
government is further carried out in
the organization. 1t amounts to a tax
to support the government and is not
to be considered as the regular union
dues. Those will be in addition.
The CIO, we believe, will crumble and
fall under the weight of its own top
heavy organization. In d nation where
the employees as we'll as the employers
have grown up physically and mentally
in a democratic state of being, a dicta
torial government, whether it be national
or over a labor union. cannot endure.
Democratic laborers will we believe, re-
pudiate the undemocratic CIO.
Too much power makes many leaders
unreasonable. but eventually it brings
about their defeat at the hands of the
majority.

An unselfiSh, Providence guided de-

fishermen in Labrador were SO
miserabiy poor that they were al
ways on the verge of starvation;
the country SO barren that some
times the COWS had to be fed on
Goldfish. Sir Wilfreds heart was
moved and stirred. The climax
came when ne found that among
the thirty thousand fishermen there
was not one physician.
I'm going to stay here and be
their doctor" he said.
He gave up his fashionable Lon

1t will be fine thing to have
the king and queen of England as
guests of the United States next
spring. Genuine l8-karat royalty
is a rare sight in this land, and all
our citizens will doubtless be the
better for having had look at the
real article.
But it is not too early for the
people of this republic to make up
their minds that while they are
going to be cordial hosts they are
not going to be in the market lor
any gold bricks.
Great Britain doesn't send her
king and queen on tranSoceanlc
voyages just to give them change
of scene and a breath OF 1reSh
air. British royalty does not ordi-
narily have much to do, but full
dress foreign visit like TINS one
ranks as one of its most important
Jobs. One need not be unduly sus-
picious to guess that this partlcu-
lar hand across the sea is coming
toward us palm upward.
There are several things that
England may have in mind.
For one thing. there are those
war debts, still unpaid. For an
other there is the Johnson act,
which prohibits loans to default
ing nations. For still another,
there is that vague and ill-defined
ching, -Ameridsn co-opera-
ton. If Americas cordiality to
King George and Queen Elizabeth
brings on a revival of the old blood
is thicker -than-water talk, we may
expect TO be informed that it is our
duty to humanity to give on these
Joints.
Which means that we ought to
do some straight, unemotional
thinking before our guests ar
rive.
For what we will be asked to do,
in substance. will be to suppoA
Britains foreign policy. 1t makes
little difference what kind of sup
port we are asked to give-wheth-
cr we are asked to forget about
debts, repeal the Johnson act. or
align ourselves in the "Anglo-SaX-
on bloc" in some other way; what
Britain wants, obviously, is some
definite sort of American support.
But is British foreign policy to-
day anything which America ought
to support? Is it working so strong
ly for a freer. juster, happier world
that we would be justified in aban-
doning our traditional policy of iso-
lation in order to give it helping
hand?
Every man will have to provide
his own answer to that. In view of
all that has happened in the last
half dozen years. it is very hard
to see how America as whole
can possibly return a yes" answer
If ever Our tradition Of isolation
looked good. it looks good today
Everything that has happened over
seas in recent years is designed to
reinforce the old feeling that Amer
lea can best serve The world by

CONTRACT FOR LIGHTING

Along with the first robin, pussy

tivities and other harbingers of the
coming baseball campaign arrived a
more important harbinger to Queen
Anne's county baseball fans in word
that a contract was signed last week
for the installation of lights in the
baseball park.
The contract was awarded to the
Graybar Company and calls for elec-
trical equipment, reflectors and bulbs
Arrangements are being made now
for poles seventy-five feet long to
hold the beacons.
Ten poles will be used. These are
to be planted in concrete and set five
feet in the ground. Each pole will
have cross bars and will support a
large number of beacons. About 120
bulbs will be used in the illumination.
Work on installing the lights is not
to proceed Immediately but the con-
tract was awarded in order to have
the equipment on hand when work
was started. A group from the
Queen Anne's County Sports Activi-
ties headed by John w. Perry, presi-
dent, will confer with the Centreville
Town Commissioners relative to as
sistance in putting in the wiring and
lighting equipment.

it was parked earlier in the evening.
Officers investigating the accident

Mr.. Mcintyre explained the theft

Somerset, locked it, placing the keys
in his pocket and had gone, first, to

shop. 1t was during this time that

the project was first broached.
There still remains shortage of
about a thousand dollars in the

desired in the hope that the lights
may be bought, and paid for in full,
before the season opens.

GYPSIES PLY THEIR
TRADE IN TALBOT

The name Warfield seems to have
no little attraction for gypsies. A band
of these roamers struck that section
of the state last week. They first
visited Dorchester County. There they
passed a mans home (William War
field) about eight miles beyond Cam
bridge and asked him for some salt
to season their lunch. He and his
wife were working in the garden.
AS he entered the house for the salt,
he said, the gypsy woman followed
him in. When he gave her some salt
she was very gracious for his kindness
almost hugging him. Suddenly he
fetl her hand in his pocket. He pull
ed out his little muslin bag and held
it in his hand while the gypsy was
talking to him. 1t contained about
$50. When she left he found that
$25 of his money had also gone.
at was the slickest thing I ever
saw" he said describing the Incl
dent. 81 held my money in my hand
and part of it was taken while look
ing right at her. had planned to
buy oysters and was about ready to
leave the house when the gypsy ask
ed for SALT"
From there the band must have
gone across to Talbot, for in the af
ternoon a man named Warfield liv-
ing at Doncaster was visited by the
gypsies, so the sheriff was informed
by telephone. This Warfield was not
so easy as the Dorchester man, tho
he was scared, it is believed, for the
gypsies left and were seen to turn
in the Bloomfield road. A man in
the field by the roadside saw the car
and took the license number.
Later they came back to Doncaster
The man in the field saw it was the
same car that had previously left.
Mr.. Warfield had left before they re-
turned, and could not be found. He
telephoned to the sheriff and finally
the state police, notified of the rob-
berry by radio, was on the search.
They soon located the band and car
ried them to the Easton jail where
the sheriff of Dorchester county was
notified.
Dorchester officials, including a doc
tor, arrived a little later. The four
women, a man and a baby were in
the party. The baby was said to be
sick. The visiting doctor examined
it and found that it had had an alb
scess in the ear and this had been
lanced. One of the women was suf-
fering with cold, while the mother
of the baby, looked so much like a
man with a pipe in her mouth that
the doctor questioned her about her
sex.
William Warfield was among those
from Dorchester, and he recognized
the mother with the baby as the one
who took his money. When they were
confronted with this evidence they
were willing to return the money to
the man if the sheriff would release
them. This was refused, and soon he
was on his way to Cambridge with
the entire group.
The Dorchester sheriff stated that
several other robbberies had been
committed by the gypsies, but the iden
tification by Mr.. Warfield of one of
them was sufficient to hold them and
take them to Cambridge, where they
would be confronted by other victims.
