destruction, born on alien soil, nurtured by
alien hate and brought to maturity by alien
ambition to dominate the world, and to crush
democratic institutions and free peoples.
Foreign nations recognize the desirability
of training their youth and certain of them are
inculcating their evil political doctrines into
the minds of their young 50 as to create de-
structive military machines. Let us learn from
them the necessity for training our own youth.
Let us train them 50 that they may effectively
meet this menace, and also let US teach the
Americans of tomorrow the glory of American
institutions, the priceless heritage of our past,
and the hope of our future.
If we do this, we shall conquer both foreign
spies and our own underworld.

1t may well be that this is the most serious
phase of our problem. Striking at arsenals
at navy yards. at industrial plants, at power
lines, at lines of communication and trans
portation, constitutes of course serious
menace. But more serious still is the threat to
the moral stamina and patriotic idealism of
any people. We may rest assured that this
condition and its possibilities are well known
to those abroad who envy our prosperity and
resent our democratic institutions.
We must efficiently protect our battleships,
our arms, our shipyards and our far-fung for
tihcations. But the enemy that infltrates
through our gates and into our current life to
teach the doctrines of dictatorial power -a and
thus poison our democratic idealism at its
source - is far greater menace than the
armed forces that might confront us in de-
clared war. We must protect ourselves against
this greater enemy, too.
A War We Must Win
] HE war on crime is defensive war. 1t is
one which must be won or America will take
its place in the ranks of those countries of
ancient and modern times that f1ourished, de-
cayed and fell.
The underworld in any country is allied
with the forces of destruction, both within and
without that country. For this reason the
support of the citizens of every community
should be given without stint to all law
enforcement agencies so that Giminality may
be controlled and this natural recruiting
ground for enemy agents reduced to mini
mum.
The youth of our country should be taught
not only to hate foreign spies, but to despise
domestic criminality. One is as dangerous as
the other. The youth of America should be
afforded appropriate protection against air
planes that might drop desolation and death
from the skies at night; they also should be
adequately protected against the no less dan
gerous efforts of foreign enemies to undermine
our American ideals of democracy and free
dom. America must be kept at any cost.
There is no place in our ranks for the "isms' of

Three Boys
| Are Morooned
By Tide

Three youths were marooned by
the tide on a small island in the
Eastern Branch of the Anacostia
River for 16 hours yesterday.
The three, Ira B. Johnson, jr., 16,
and John Caraway, 13, both of the
800 block of Central avenue, Mary
land Park, Md, and James Taylor,
IA, of Kenilworth, left home about
9 am. yesterday to 60 fishing in the
Eastern Branch near the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad bridge.
AS the tide was low, johnson said,
they walked across what appeared to
be peninsula and began an all-day
fishing expedition.
About $50 pm. the tide came in
and suddenly changed the peninsula
into small island, leaving the boys
stranded.
johnson said the boys had nothing
to eat and, as it grew dark. they lit
fire in the hope of attracting at
tention. @a q
Meanwhile, II. T.Taylor, an uncle
of James, and John Empey. step
father of young Caraway, became
worried over the failure of the
youths to come home and started a
search.
Finally, they discovered the boys
plight and called the harbor police,
who were unable to reach the island
because the water was too shallow
for their boat.
Mr.. Empey said that the boys were
carried ashore about l o'clock this
morning, when the tide receded, by
men who waded out to them.

New Civil Procedure
Rules Are Applied
To D. {. Probate Case
New Trial Is Allowed
On Seporoble Question
In Will Contest

The Federal rules for civic pro-
cedure, made effective in District
Court September is. 1888. apply to
probate proceedings. the United
States Court Of Appeals held today.
The appellate court also laid down
the proposition that under the new
rules new trial may be granted
to all or any of the parties on all
or part of the separable questions
in q contest.
The case arose In a legal battle
over the will Of Miss Fanny Ecker,
who died in 1886, leaving a $1,000
estate. Persons attacking the valid
ity Of the will contended she was
not of sound mind and memory,
and that the will was obtained by
fraud and coercion.
In its opinion. written by Chief
Justice D. Lawrence Groner, the
Court of Appeals recalled that Dis
trict Court ordered a jury trial.
which found the woman well men,
tally. but held that execution of the
will was procured by undue inf1u-
ence" The trial court, on a de-
fense motion. signed an order set
ting aside the verdict in part and
awarding a new trial on the single
issue of undue influence. Those
attacking the will then carried their
fight to the Court Of Appeals, con-
tending that the lower court erred
in granting a new trial and in al
lowing the single issue of undue
influence to go before q jury.
The appellate court said today:
at is the settled law in this juris-
diction that the action of the trial
court in granting or refusing a new
trial is not renewable unless there
is shown clear abuse of discre-
tion," but said there is no such
showing in this case Further, it
held the trial court entirely cor
rect in limiting the scope of the
new trial" The finding of District
Court was affirmed and the case
will now 60 back there before a jury
on the single issue of undue in
nuence.
