Nation Feels Let Down in Presidents
Statement on Meeting With Churchill

tension bill in the House to come
within a vote of defeating that
measure.
The American people in the
vast majority do not want this
country to 60 into shooting war.
But that does not mean they
would not 90 along with the
Government if war comes. Far
from it. 1t does seem, however.
that the public mind should be
better prepared for eventualities
If there is real danger of war.
Certainly there seems much dam
ger. It has been described by the
highest officials of the Govern
ment and of the Army. For the
people to be impressed constantly
with the idea that the country
will not have to fight Is taking q
long chance.
May Be Good Gamble.
The administration is gambling
on the theory that this war
against the Axis powers can be
won without an American soldier
or sailor or airman taking part.
The gamble may be q good one.
If it isn't, the shock to America
will be tremendous. Suppose
Nazi Germany succeeds in over
running Russia and destroying
the Red Armies. Suppose, then,
it forces Britain to peace, either
after invading the British Isles
or by some other form of pres
sure. What then will be the po-
sition of this country?
What the American people
would like to know-what the
men in the service would like to
knows whether this Govern
ment intends to keep this coun-
try out Of war even If the point
comes when Britain-and Russia
and China can go On no longer?
1t would like to know, too. wheth-
er this Government will keep
the country out of war until it,
becomes apparent that the Brit
ish and their Allies are going to
be beaten.
Passing Up Opportunities.
The gamble lies, too, in pass
ing up opportunities to throw the
weight of the American Navy and
Air Force into the struggle when
Nazi Germany and her allies
still are facing strong opposition
from Britain. China and Russia.
Will arms and munitions be SUM-
cient to stem the tide OF Nazi
victory? Perhaps they may.

Court Of Appeals
Grants New Trial
Of Whitaker Suit
Remark by Jurist
Constituted Bios,
Opinion Declares

LitigantS have a right to have
their cases tried before judge who
is reasonably free from bias" the
United States Court of Appeals held
today in sending back to District
Court for retrial of his suit against
Mrs. Evalyn Walsh McLean-an out
growth of the Lindbergh kidnapping.
Norman T. Whitaker brought suit
in District Court for 100000, claim
ing malicious prosecution against
Mrs. Mclean, but when the trial was
held with Justice T. Alan Colds
borough presiding, the jurist al
legedly made an improper remark at
the bench with opposing counsel
present Justice Goldsborough di-
rected verdict for Mrs. Mclean.
On the basis of the jurist's remark,
the case was appealed.
Opinion of Appeals Court.
In the United States Court of Ap-
peals. where Chief Justice D, Law
renee Groner and Associate Justices
Justin Miller and Henry w. Edger-
ton heard the case, todays decision
said:
In a colloquy with counsel dur
ing the trial. though in the absence
OF the jury, the judge who tried this
case made remarks which caused
the plaintiff attorney to express
the opinion that he could not very
we'll go on because the judges re-
marks evidenced bias and prejudice
At the conclusion of the colloquy.
the trial proceeded and at the close
of the testimony the judge directed
verdict for the defendant
The judge may, as indeed he in
sisted, have felt no hostility to the
plaintiff, and in that view he was.
subjectively, free from bias. But
bias must be considered effectively
Few, if any, judges would make the
reported remarks, in the course of a
trial, unless they had developed def
mite and positive hostility to plaintiff
and his case.
In reversing the judgment the
court added:
This is the more regrettable be-
cause it is our impression, based on
an examination of the record, that
the claim on which the plaintiff sued
was probably without merit"
Whitaker's Testimony.
Representing Mrs. Mclean were
Attorneys Nelson T Harrison. Ed
mund L. Jones and Howard Boyd.
Representing Whitaker at the trial
was Attorney James j. Laughlin.
Whitaker testified he was arrested
in June, 1882. by Federal agents and
police in New York; that Mrs. Nc
Lean pointed him out as one of the
alleged Lindbergh kidnapping con-
spiratorS; that he was in Florida
at the time of the kidnapping and had
nothing to do with it; that he knew
nothing of money that Mrs. Mclean
allegedly gave to the late CASTOR B.
Means, reputedly her agent in ne
gotiations to secure the babys re-
lease; that Mrs. Mclean appeared
before the District grand jury which
indicted Whitaker.
Jutice Goldsborough, holding that
Mrs. Mclean had probable cause
to report the matter to the authori-
ties, directed a verdict in her
favor.

Glass Gets Citation
From Conference Of
Jews and Christians
Senator Paid Tribute
As Fighter for Civic and
Religious Freedom
BY the Associated Press.


LYNCHBURG, Va, Feb. 24.-The
National Conference of Jews and
Christians paid tribute to Senator
Glass yesterday as "a great Amer
ican, eminent among those whose
example has encouraged citizens of
all religious faiths to preserve re-
ngious liberty and civic freedom and
to build bridges of friendliness across
the valid differences of diverse
creedS."
DR.. Frank Porter Graham, presi-
dent of the University of North
Carolina, presented the conferences
parchment citation to the Old Do
minion's senior Senator at the an
nual brotherhood day service of the
Lynchburg roundtable of Jews and
Christians, held at Randolph-Macon
Woman's College.
~" Glass Replies.
The citation was the second
awarded by the conference, the first
one having been presented to Chief
Justice Charles Evans Hughes.
Senator Glass, in response to DR.
Graham's presentation speech, de-
clared that every person of inf1us
ence. regardless of what NAV be
the issue. should entertain brother
hood, friendliness and love while
they're living. Be affectionate, be
loved, be kindly-that's all of life
The world today is in a turmoil.
May some wise man lead us out of
trouble. But if there is nobody to
lead us out, let us fight our way out
ourselves. God is in his heaven
still. He will not permit brutality
to persist. He will come to the as
sistance of nations abroad and ma
tions at home"
Some say that if we do not win
this war-and we will win it-well
have a dictator. I don't believe in
dictators. and we're not going to
have any" He added humorously
that if this country had to have a
dictator it would have the right to
pick him out and that he would be
a homemade" dictator.
DR.. Graham praised Senator Glass
as fighter for the freedom of the
human mind and of political inde-
