Prosecutor In Moe Annenberg Case May Become Dewey of Democrats
Leaps to Legal Big Time In Short Order
By MARY MARBERRY

NEA Service Special Correspondent
 Chicago, June 19--A Democratic Dewey may be in the making here.
 He's William J. Campbell, whose smile is just as boyish and engag- ing as that of Republican Presi- dential Possibility Thomas E. Dewey in New York city. Campbell is the young U. S. district attorney pre- senting the Annenberg and Skid- more cases to the grand jury. A He snillingly insists that he is without political ambitions, but if the grand jury indicts Moses L. An nenberg, wealthy publisher and race information dispenser, or William Billy" Skidmore, gambling czar, Campbell might become a national figure over night.
 While New York's Dewey built step by step his now national repu- tation as a prosecutor, starting with minor toughs and building up to the conviction of Tammany's Jimmy Hines, Campbell enters "big- time prosecution" after only few months in office.
 NATIVE OF
 CHICAGO
 The grand jury is to determine whether Annenberg or Skidmore have failed to pay income taxes they should have paid. Trial of either if indicted would command national attention.
 Born on Chicagos west side and educated in Catholic schools, Camp bell was graduated from Loyola uni- versity in 1926 with an LIB. He is now 36, a large, well-built man with thick, graying hair, a young, sun- burned face and a hearty handclasp.
 I've never before held politi- cal job," says Campbell. "and I pre- fer to regard myself as a lawyer with an opportunity to do 8 useful piece of work in my profession. When the president appointed me as head of the Illinois IVA, it was merit appointment. I did receive generous praise during my administration from the president, and I'm anxious to reflect credit on those who ap- pointed me in this job. I'm not anx- ious to carve out a career, however '
 Despite his duties as district at- torney, Campbell still is acting head of the Illinois IVA. He has been interested in youth and its problems ever since, as young lawyer, he defended poor young criminals as counsel for the Big Brother organi- zation. Then, as personal attorney to Bishop Bernard J. Shell, The be- came a co-founder of the Catholic Youth Organization. He considers juvenile delinquency the most i'm tant field in crime today.

Britain and Japanese alone. But they feel that if Japan made some stand which disclosed an attempt to seize control of all foreign inter- ests in China, the United States would take action, parallel with Bri- tain's, to protect it's interests.
 The government is still consider ing the advisability of reprisals against Japan for its Tientsin blockade. The following measures were understood to be under con- sideration: (1) Imposition of yirtu- ally prohibitive tariffs on Japanese goods in the United Kingdom and British crown sesonies: (2) blocking of Japanese currency balances in Great Britain; t3) further British credits for China: (D Q possible a. nancial attack on Japanese con- trolled currency In China: and (5) denunciation of the 1911 British- Japanese treaty, of commerce and navigation.

BRITAIN NOT YET :.
 FOR REPRHALS
Chamberlain Again Ex= plains British Stand in
 Chinese Dispute
BY FREDERICK KUH Limited Press Staff Correspondent

London, June 19.-(UP).-P Minister Neville Chamberlain told the House of Commons today "it is still hoped a local settlement is possible" in the Tientsin incident.
 Chamberlain said the general po- sition at Tientsin is not clear. He stated that the original Japanese demand for the handing over of four suspected Chinese terrorists has been confused by the introduc- tion of larger questions.
 No formal representation has been received from the Japanese government, Chamberlain declared. He said the British government had believed the Japanese government "did not desire to widen the issues"
 At the same time," Chamberlain continued. "the British government realizes the effects of the dispute on other British interests and Lord Halifax (foreign secretary is see- ing the Japanese ambassador today"
 Keeping Close Contact
 Chamberlain said the British gov- ernment is maintaining the closest contact with France and the United State and the British ambassador in Tokyo is trying to clarify the situ- atior.
 Chamberlainss statement express ing hope for . local settlement at Tientsin was taken as showing that the Britih government still is un- willing to take reprisals against Japan.
 Chamberlain indicated that the government derive hope from the fact that Japan has not presented wider demands formally.
 Diplomatic conversations in Tokyo and London seemed obviously de- signed to forestall such demands and make a face-saving compromise possible.
 Chamberlain statement to Com- mons was preceded by lengthy con- sultations among key members of the cabinet.
 Watch Germany, Italy
 Aside from the purely British Japanese aspect of Japan,s bid for control of foreign areas in China. it was understood that the govern ment was watching Germany ana Italy closely.
 Diplomatic quarters receipt of in- timatiorls that the totalitarian na- tions were strongly tempted to take advantage of any serious British Japanese situation.
 AS seen here, any Germany acc ton probably would be taken against Danzig and the Polish Corr ridor. and any Italian action would involve open demands on France for Mediterranean concessions.

 Monsignor Fitzgerald said he made no mention of self praise, remem- bering the words of St. Paul, "What have you that you have not received. and If you have received, why should you give glory as if you had not received?"
 In conclusion, he said. "the par ishioners and I appreciate the honor and the greatest reward the parish can get is to have the faith, the practical Catholic faith, to realize our duties and to serve God. This faith Is our greatest reward, most enjoyment and biggest pleasure" he stated.

 Rev. William Kearney, assistant chancellor of the Hartford diocese, and a former local resident, in the principal talk declared there has come to Father Fitzgerald, entirely unsought and unexpected. splen- did public acknowledgement of a fruitful and successful career.

FORCE MAY BE NECESSARY

Under the guise of protecting the
nation, many persons and organizations
have proposed various measures as a
remedy for subversive activities.
Just what is meant by "subversive"
depends upon the phobia of the individual
giving the definition. With some, it is
communism, with others it is ''fascism, -
and with almost anybody it is something
or other that the individual does not like.
For example, the House recently
passed the Smith Anti-Alien bill, which
among its provisions forbids the printing
Or publishing of books or papers advocat-
ing violent overthrow of the government,
or the defending or justifying of any such
forbidden action.
In general terms, such measures may
contain provisions, justified as defense
against real dangers, but which them
selves endanger traditional liberties.
Whenever anybody proposes restrictive
laws of this kind, which go beyond the
legislation now on the books, the proposals
should be zealously scrutinized to ascer-
tain the reasons Tor new RESTRICTIONS 10 our
freedom of speech.
The liberties of human beings in the
world have been won, almost without ex-
ception, by those who not only advocated,
but used, force against the government
that denied reform. In the United States,
so far as we can tell at this time, there
would seem to be no necessity for the use
of force to overthrow any future govern
ment. provided no barriers are raised to
prevent the people from expressing them
selves at the polls
Just the same, fifty or a hundred
years from now, a situation may arise,
where the will of the people will be flouted
and no fair opportunity given the voters to
change governments by popular elections.
In other words, it is not without the bounds
of possibility that some administration
may, some day, seek to perpetuate itself in
office. If that day comes, it is conceivable
that many patriots will advocate the over
throw of the government by force.
The fact is that, if such an emergency
arises, patriots will not pay any attention
to any musty statute that forbids the adj
vocacy of the use of force to overthrow a
pernicious government.

PROGRESS WITHOUT EXPENSE

Community progress is not always a
matter of expense.
In flush times we easily got the habit
of appraising civic undertakings worth
by the amount of money it cost. Nothing
could be more foolish.
Civilization is a question of living.
Whatever makes life more pleasant, con-
venient and cultured is a distinct adj
vantage to the people of any city or town.
There are many social activities that could
be developed that would add much to our
community life without adding to the cost
of our daily existence.
Civic leaders, in looking for some
thing to do to improve Key West should
not overlook the boys and girls who are
growing up in our midst. To add to the
Joy of their young lives is worthy object
1t can be done without involving great ex-
penditures if a score or more adults will
give some of their time to the purpose.
There are undoubtedly additional
facilities to be developed for the benefit of
adults. These do not have to cost money.
Numerous clubs, associations and organ
lZaLlOnS, lOf cultural 0uuCdCiOHdi, oPlhltu@i
purposes, are not represented here. To
develop and round out the lives of some of
our adult citizens they should be.
If the present crisis could force us to
look to our own inherent capacities for
some of the things we have been aceus-
toned to buy, the people of Key West
might find out that they have rare talent
in their midst and unsupported powers
along many lines.
