Bureaucracy Out of Bounds

Irrespective of the fact that the notori- ous highest price line limitation was re- moved by action of Congres from the price control laws, OPA has been con- tinuing suits against leading retailers allegedly guilty of "willful and fragrant violation of this ruling while it was still in force.
 It has been hard for reasonable per sons to believe that group of the most efficient, we'll managed, low cost stores in the country would 'Willfully and fla grantly'' violate any price rule, even though, as in the case of the highest price line limitation, they repeatedly eX- pressed the opinion that the rule in ques- ton was both unwise and unavoidable. Therefore, it is not surprising to note that Federal judge has vacated an ln- junction action brought by OPA against a leading store, with the comment that: 'It is because I believe that the defend ant is willing to cooperate and has been making sincere effort in that direction that have concluded the ln- junction herein should not be continued D The records show, the Judge de- clared, that the company did it's best to follow the OPA regulations, while at the same time it objected strenuouSly to them. The government administrators, on the strength of the evidence, should have known that the question of willful- ness was not involved. OPA lawyers themselves have failed to agree on how to apply some of OPA's rules.
 Here is an instance where the courts intervened to prevent unjust persecution of private citizen at the hands of Federal bureau. But the safeguards ot the Constitution and the courts cannot keep bureaucratic oppression within bounds forever, if the bureaus continue to expand and multiply.

The Legion to the Fore

It was the American Legion'S mis- fortune during peacetime years to have the public judge its activities by the antics of it's annual convention. And it cannot be denied that the LegionnaireS tended to aid and abet this one-sided judgment. Their quieter, constructive work in the fields of welfare and citizen ship were overlooked.
 Now, with the war mounting toward victory, the Legion is assuming domi- nant place in reconverSion and rehabilita- tion plans It drafted and sponsored the so-called "GI Bill of Rights. It is in- teresting itself in helping disabled men to find work, and it has made the wise suggestion that World War II veteran be appointed to each draft board to assist the other members in finding re-employ ment for other veterans.
 The fact that 3OO,O0O veterans of this war have already joined the Legion speaks well for it's prestige and appeal. The fur ther fact that the Legion has over hauled it's public relations system prom ises better public understanding of it's efforts All these things suggest that the reinforced American Legion will full fill it's potentialities as strong and active democratic gro'1p during the diff cult days to come.

Views Of The Press
TwICE-MARTYRED LoUvAIN
(New York Herald Tribune)

CNew York Herald Tribune)
 It was the night of August 26, 1914, when officers of the German Army, saying "Es ist Befehl" C"It's an order'O, set fire to the library of the University of Louvain. One of the greatest glories of the Belgian city, the building, dating back to 1927, was completely destroyed, to- gether with 100000 books and al- most thousand rare manuscripts. A 23-year old priest, Eugene Depier- lux, was executed afterward by the Germans for having in his pocket paper on which was written, in part: When Omar destroyed the li- brary of Alexandria none believed that such vandalism would ever be repeated, It was repeated in Lou vain."
 Rebuilt by fund of more than a million dollars collected by an American committee -$S,0O0 was contributed by the Police Depart ment of this city-a new library had filled its shelves with 100000 volumes. But in May, 1940, the h- brary was again a martyr. The in- vading Germans, in possession of Louvain, once more destroyed the building. All but 40,000 volumes were burned. The splendid Bra bant Gothic structure was left with nothing but outer walls and tower to stand as blackened exhibits of Ger man fury.
 It is believed that the Belgian government and Louvain University will restore the ruined building af- ter peace arrives. Meanwhile, Amer ican friends of Belgium, including as honorary members Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, Herbert Hoover and Charles Evans Hughes, have formed the Louvain Book Fund, which is raising funds to buy books for a third library. The funds address is the Belgian Information Center, $50 Fifth avenue, New York 20.

who are indifferent or hostile to re- ligion either because their lives are too full of superficial interests or because they do not want to sub init to the moral demands of a sincere Christian profession ot faith? Chesterton once declared that Christianity has not been tried and found to fail, but rather that it has been found inconvenient and has not been tried. Someone else said recently: '"The one thing that would shock the world more than the de- nial of our faith would be sincere determination on our part to put 1t into practice"
 Most people stay away from church on Sunday because they would rather be somewhere else. Most people who are indifferent to religion feel no real need for it. Ere quently they have to go through a tornado or shipwreck, funeral or a crucifixion of some sort before they realize the inadequacy of their own powers. Religious doubts may slay their thousands, but indiffer- ence and worldlineSs slay their tens of thousands, and even their mil- lions.

Are We In For Trouble

A leading banking institution observes that the test of our ability to recover from the war will be our capacity to produce and distribute goods. And in doing that "the essential thing is to find the equi- hbrium in costs and prices which will promote trade, and not block readjust- ment of arbitrary intervention"
 During the war, production has been maintained with little thought of cost. As industry moves into competitive peacetime activity subject to the normal laws of supply and demand, cost will be- come ruling factor. It will take inge- nuity to make the readjustment, and since distribution is critical phase of the problem, the retail merchants will play leading role
 Already retailers have been consulting with manufacturers on steps to be taken to help insure price levels that will move things Sorely needed by millions of con- SumerS, through regular diStributive channels in an ever-groWing flood. The fear of some of the Washington regula- tors that producers and distributors may have tendency to resort to the anachron- ism of charging all the traffic will bear after the war, is not logical. On the whole, industry of today must maintain reasonable prices or it cannot operate successfully.
 Today stores are typical of modern in- duStry. Their existence depends on tremendous volume of sales at very small unit profit. Prices are held to an absolute minimum in order not to impair volume. High prices and low volume would spell doom for the chains, just as it would for the wholc twentieth century system of mass production and distribu- ton.
 If the regulators intend to set up a permanent price control system on the

WHO CARES WHAT STEVENSON
 HAD?

Robert Louis Stevenson was tu- bercular," a remarkable well 1n- formed correspondent reminds me. but the immediate cause of his death,' the correspondent adds, twas rupture of an aortic aneur- ism, a malady that has, supposed ly, causal relation to SpirOchaeta palida.''
 All Il know about StevenSon's illness and death is what read in biographies. I had gained the impression that Stevenson was tubecuIous, not tubercuIar-there is difference, as we shall see-and that he succumbed finally to apo plexy, a stroke or shock. rupture of a vessel and hemorrhage into the substance of the brain.
 Tubercle is a nodule or lump or swelling either on the surface or in the substance of an organ. Tuber- cles are characteristic of more than one disease, notably leprosy, lupus, and advanced syphilis. These di- seases are tubercular; but only tu- berculosis is tuberculOus.
 It is true that aortic aneurism (dilatation or ballooning of the great artery) occurs as a rule in men who wahev had syphilis for fif- teen or twenty years, with final ir- volvement of the cardiovfiascular (heart-artery) system. SpirOchaeta pallida is one name for the specific germ of syphilis. It is otherwise known as TrepOnema pallida.

V-2 in Action

Prime Minister Churchill'S admission that German V-2 rockets have landed in England still leaves their effectiveness a matter of conjecture. It will likely re- main so during the closing phase of the war in Europe. For military authorities aren't goin to oblige the Nazis by con- firming claims that the V-2 has landed in London, Paris and Antwerp any more than they would announce direct hit on Manhattan Island. Even those who are in the vicinity of V-2 hit (and survive the experience) cannot know where the missile was aimed, and thus cannot judge its accuracy. It also seems unlikely that, with Allied air superiority, German re- connaiSSance planes are able to take home a very complete picture of V2 results So at present the Germans know the begin ming of the story, and the VIZ recipients the end. The rest is speculation on both sides. It does seem certain, though, that the present V-2 is not so much new Super-horrOr weapon as it is counter defensive modification of the VI. Neu- tral sources say the V-2 is about twice as long as the VI, and weighs some 15 tons. But MT. Churchill reports that it carries the same one-ton explosive load. How much the V-2 has been changed and scaled down cannot be known. But the fact remains that it seems to be serving largely as supplement to the V-1s launched by plane from the North Sea since the loss of the Channel Coast launching ramps The V-2s great ad- vantage = fiendish psychological one - is that, since it falls to earth at a speed greater than that of sound it's approach cannot be detected. Wherever it strikes it comes as swiftly and noiselessly as bolt of lightning.
 It seems doubtful that the V-2 can be very accurate. Only a ballistic expert could speak intelligently of the difficult ties of sending a missile 200 miles or more through a trajectory whose apex is 50 or 70 miles above the earth But one can guess that there are tremendous mathematical calculations involving the earth's rotation and curvature, and varl- ouS atmospheric conditions.
 Rocket weapons date back 700 years and come down to fairly recent history. We sing of them thoughlesSly in our na- tional anthem, but in the same war of 1872 they routed the defenders of Wash ington in the battle of BladenSburg. Their abiding fault, however, was their inaccuracy And with the development of the rifled gun barrel they became ob- Solete.
 Now they are back, perhaps controlled by radio, infinitely more deadly. Unless a swift Allied advance paralyzes their production both their Headlines and ac- curacy will improve, for the Germans still possess good technical minds. And un- less they are outlawed after this war, as poison gas was after the last, they pre- sent blastly threat to the whole world in another conflict. Outlawing the produc- tion and use of rocket bombs is specific job for the worlds peace guardians, even while they outlaw war in general.

Macarthur wanted to drop these from the air all over the Philippines to give Filipinos hope for speedy liberation.
 OWI was anxious not to offend Macarthur. Nevertheless, Elmer Davis and his then assistant, Bob Sherwood, didn't want to commit the U. s. A. too far in advance to MacArthur'S running the whole Philippines show. So they finally worked out a compromise.
 They sent the matches by ship, meanwhile cabling MacArthur that his request had been met. When the matches arrived, Mac Arthur couldn't do anything but to use them, although the inscrip- tion had been changed from T Shall Return" to We Shall Re- turn"
 GALLUPING BEAN POLL
 Most accurate of all scientific election forecasters was ace econ- omist Louis H. Bean, of the U. s. Budget Bureau. Bean predict ed the percentage of votes for Roosevelt right on the nose, but was three votes off on electoral count. He made his prediction July 7th, sent it sealed to his old boss, Vice President Wallace.
 Asked by Wallace what his fav- orite electoral poll was, Bean re- piled. "The Galupling Bean Poll"
 NOTE: Bean also predicted an increase of 50 Democrats in the House, was only two off on that analysis, was less than one per- cent off on his predictions for 1886, 1888, 194O and 1942. He ar arrives at his conclusions partly bv adding, about two to three points to the Gallup percentage, on the theory that Gallup poll takers underestimate and that lot of working people don't want to tell whom hey're voting TOT.

Selected Poem
NOCTURNE

Ulona Bestercey in The New York TlmeS) Earth's shadow never leaves the dreamer's view Of heavens dreams uncover chart anew; Where hearts may spend a living in the night, Scheherazades tales serve fancys flight From drudgery of day, bound by routine To duty whence the feet may not careen. The shadows never lost though dreamers roam In Eden's Garden climb Olympus dome. While dreams admit line to time or space, Yet shadows across ScheheraZades face Lest walking call earth's dawn travesty, The brain boldly proclaims apostasy From day, dreams swiftly perish from the eye, Scheherazade's tales branded a lie
