Winchester

How near to Winchester in England
is Winchester in Virginia is demon
strated in the National Geographic
Magazine for January. The whole
Atlantic Ocean, admittedly, lies be-
tween the one town and the other,
yet that fact is relatively unim-
portant when it is remembered that
the two communities are closely
affiliated in sentiment and that in
modern times, especially just now,
such emotional ties are notably
compelling.
Of course, the American Winchester
descends from that of Britain. It is
no accident that both places bear
the same name. The older settle
ment is supposed to have been started
by Belgians from Gaul about 200 BIC.
Under the Romans the population is
estimated to have been approx
mately fourteen thousand. In ex-
planation of the prosperity of the
colony it may be mentioned that
the hills of Hampshire furnished
excellent grazing. 1t was natural
that Venta Belgarum should have
been celebrated for its cloth fac
tories. Coenwalch, King of the West
SaXons, recognized the social sig
nificance of the growing city when,
about 660, he established a biShopric
there with a priest named Wini,
English-born but educated abroad,
as diocesan head.
The National Geographic article,
written by Frederick Simpich and
copiously illustrated by B. Anthony
Stewart and others, tells the tale of
the development of Winchester as
the earliest capital of unified Britain.
1t prospered as the Kings of WesseX
did. When they became sovereigns
of all England their principal seat
took on added distinction. Egbert,
trained for the work by Charlemagne,
announced himself ruler of the entire
island in 827. He reigned at Win
chester, and his bones allegedly are
preserved in a chest in the cathedral.
Meanwhile, the pageantry of the
ancient town WaXed ever more glori-
Gus as the ages passed Alfred the
Great wrote part of the Anglo-SaXon
Chronicle within it's walls. Canute,
the much-misrepresented Dane, hung
his golden crown over the altar in
the bishops church. William of
Normandy found the place a rival
of London for commerce and indus
try. 1t was burned in 1141, but
gradually rebuilt from the profits of
the wooden trade. For it's schools, as
we'll as for it's markets, it was
renowned.
Of course, there were periods Of

Tapping Amendment

Attorney General ROBERT jackson S
renewed request for amendment of
the Federal Communications Act to
permit Wire-tapping by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation in such seri-
GUS cases as espionage and sabotage
deserves immediate action by the new
Congress. This is a matter of the
most urgent sort, for it has to do
with the internal security of the
United States. So long as the exist
ing ban on Wire-tapping continues
to prevail, there is always the posi-
bility that grave plots against our
defense program, our institutions and
our Government may be cOnsum-
mated over wires which the Supreme
Court, interpreting the Federal Com
municationS Commission law, has
surrounded with complete privacy.
Yet as Mr.. Jackson succinctly points
out in his annual report to Congress
albeit without implied criticism of
the Supreme COurt-tO prohibit law
enforcement officers from intercept
ing messages under any circum-
stances sis to guarantee the safe use
of the channels Of wire and wireless
communications to spies and crimi-
mails" 1t is just as logical, he de-
clared, to forbid police to halt
suspected criminal on the highways
as to afford spies and saboteurs and
kidnapers free "use of the highways
of communication without restraint
or even surveillance"
AS Mr.. Jackson's plea for correc-
tion of this absurd situation was
being presented to the House and
Senate, there was expiring in
pigeonhole of the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee, for want of
consideration, a wire-tapping bill
which, in large measure, would have
removed the handicaps under which
the F. B. I. and the Army and Navy
intelligence services are working in
their counterespionage campaign.
This bill, sponsored by Representa-
tive Emanuel Celler of New York,
had passed the House. Presumably be-
cause Of Chairman Burton x Wheel
er's personal dislike of ire-tapping,
the bill was permitted to languish in
committee for nearly five months
and, finally, to die with the session.
1t will be necessary now, of course,
to reintroduce this or a similar bill
and to retrace the time consuming
legislative steps which already had
been taken with respect to the Celler
bill. For that reason it is essential
that action be started as soon as pos
sible on the proposed amendment of
the F. C. G. Act, with a view to speed
ing enactment of this vitally needed
defense measure. The potential dan
gers of delay in lifting the wire
tapping ban but with proper
safeguards against abuse-are in
calculable.

Urges American Feeding
Of Peoples of Occupied Europe.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
1 find myself in disagreement with
your thought of December Il on the sub
ject of what you call "the pressing ques-
ton of relief for victims of war in
occupied Europe. I am afraid I do
not find it logical to assume that Hitler
can be forced-apparently by public
opinion, of which he has shown himself
notably contemptuous-into feeding the
non-essential citizens of his victim
countries. Why in the world should he
be interested in raising a vigorous de-
Gently fed crop of potential democratic
antagonists? There is no proof that he
will not meet the responsibility" you say.
1t that not like leaving proved mur-
derer in charge of defenceless children,
on the cheerful assumption that all not
yet proven will be we'll? And how can
we assume that starving, diSeaSe-Weak-
ened desperate women and children are
going to be able to upset Hitler'S war
purposes, when their fed, free menfolks
had not been able to do so? The logic
is all against Hitler doing anything fool
ishly sentimental.
And since when has humanity become
a gesture, even a gesture of sympathy?
It is law of our Christian being, not
political. Belgian children, Danish chill.
