Challenge to Mr.. Lewis

John L. Lewis, who never has
hesitated to challenge authority, is
learning how it feels to be on the
receiving end of such a move. with
revolt against "one-man rule" stir
ring in the United Mine Workers.
The leader of the incipient rebellion
is an old associate of Mr.. Lewis. Raw
Edmundson, who recently quit as
district president of the miners in
Illinois. The size of the opposition
is not impressive, but the mere fact
that an uprising against the Lewis
regime could assume even minor
proportions has a certain amount of
significance.
The Edmundson group seeks, pri-
marily, more self-government for
the United Mine Workers, the bill
of complaint setting forth that two
thirds of the district presidents are
appointed by MIR. Lewis instead of
being named by the rank and file,
and that most of the voting strength
of the international Executive Board
likewise reposes in appointed, rather
than elected, members. Dissidents
are also accusing Mr.. Lewis of seek
ing to embarrass the Roosevelt ad-
ministration in the wage dispute
which resulted in four strikes before
1t was settled on Mr.. Lewis terms.
The autonomy wrangle has flared
recurrently over long period, but
the Lewis forces have been able to
hold their ground. Whether the
leadership of Mr.. Edmundson, a
Lewis appointee and now an an
nounced candidate for the UNIV
presidency, makes any difference
remains to be seen.

Churchill on Robot Bombs

With his customary incisive mix
ture of frankness and reticence,
Winston Churchill has lifted a siz-
able corner of the veil of secrecy
imposed by the British censorship
on discussion of the robot bombs
that began buzzing like gargantuan
hornets through British skies shortly
after D-day. Giving specific facts
and figures, the Prime Minister, re-
porting to restive and insistent
House of Commons, tells us that,
during the first three weeks of this
nprecedented bombardment, some
2,700 of the robot missiles have been
discharged on England from en-
placement across the Channel, and
that they killed curiously similar
number of persons, wounding some
5000 others severely enough for hos
pitalization, not counting those sent
home after receiving first aid.
Perhaps the most interesting item
In Mr.. Churchills report was the
statement that more than 10000 of
the casualties occurred in London.
This logically implies that the robots
can be aimed more accurately than
we have been given to understand.
Hitherto, the impression has been
that all Southern England" has
been afflicted by the novel scourge.

German propagandists claim that
the robots can be aimed at specific
targets. Nevertheless, the daily i'm
pact of more than one hundred
winged missiles, each carrying 1900
pounds of explosive, must be consid-
cradle, and we learn that children
are being sent from the capital,
while the evacuation of nonessential
civilians is mot being discouraged"
Such admissions portray London as
being again subjected to an ordeal
which, though not as destructive
and dangerous as Goering's "blitz"
of four years ago. is much more than
an annoyance and should not be
taken lightly.
Mr. Churchill assured his audience
that his government was not taken
by surprise. German preparations
for robot bombing were discovered
early in 1943, and immediate steps
were taken to counteract them,
chiefly by sustained counterbomb-
ings of installations from the air but
also by the killing of key German
scientists experimenting the job in
an unspecified manner suggesting a
brilliant coup of the British 1ntelli-
gence Service. But for these him

The Sedition TriuI

Chief Justice Edward C. Eicher,
presiding at the sedition trial, would
not question the right of a citizen
to file a petition with Congress i'm
peaching his own or the conduct OF
any other public official. Access to
Congress in matters Of this kind is
open to any citizen under the laws
of the land.
The Chief Justice evidently felt,
however, that what was proper un-
der normal circumstances became
an improperly when an attorney in
the case on trial initiated such pro-
ceedings against the presiding Judge
during the course of the trial. The
attorneys action suggested contempt
and the powers of a judge in deciding
what constitutes contempt are very
broad indeed
But when Chief Justice Eicher dis
missed Attorney James j. Laughlin
as an attorney of record in the sedi-
tion case, without holding him in
contempt for having filed the i'm
peachment petition with the House,
he raised an issue which has become
a leading topic of conversation
among Washington lawyers and
doubtless will so remain for many
long day to come. Precedent may
exist for this course of action, but
1t is not readily established. For the
punishment thus inflicted on the
attorney is shared by his client, who
has the unquestioned right to
counsel of his own choosing Denied
such counsel, what happens to the
rights of the defendant?
During this extraordinary trial
Chief Justice Eicher has exhibited
the patience of Job, leaning over
backward to assure fair treatment
of the accused In spite of every
thing he has done in this connection,
however, the results have raised
question as to whether the ma
chinery of our courts is adequate for
the burden imposed by the present
proceedings. Those who designed
this machinery through the years
obviously failed to anticipate the
complexities involved in the Depart
ment of Justice decision to present
a sedition case in the form revealed
by this trial

The Answer

There is something infinitely i'm
pressive In the circumstance by
which the front page of a single
newspaper carries the report that
one hundred and thirty five persons,
mostly children, have been burned
or trampled to death in a circus
fire and approximately an equal
number killed each day for three
weeks by robot bombs thrown
through the sky by an unseen
enemy. In the former case, an acci-
dent is the explanation; in the lat
ter, human perversity is to blame.
One disaster Is local to Hartford in
the United States; the other is
common and constant hour after
hour, perhaps for months to come,
throughout large area of England.
Naturally, the American disaster is
closer to the American people. Fami-
lies throughout the entire Nation
have been bereaved by the Ringing
Barnum and Bailey catastrophe, and
those who have died in the blaze
and the panic are mourned as civil
ians, not as casualties of the war.
Yet those who have perished in
Britain are grieved for on this side
Of the Atlantic also. They, too, were
not in uniform, most of them. 1t is
characteristic of the prevailing
"blitz" that it is indiscriminate
Homes, hospitals, churches and
schools are hit without distinction.
The number of strictly military OBJ
jectives damaged appears to be few.
In the eventual judgment of history,
therefore, the German robot cam
paign against Britain is likely to be
ranked as an indefensible error
comparable with mass retaliatory
procedures against the innocent
civilian populations of occupied
territories on the continent.
Meanwhile, life everywhere seems
to be increasingly hazardous for all
human creatures. Millions of men
and women are saddened by the
incessant experience Of pain and loss.
Yet there is no comfort in pessimism.
Instinctively, the spirit turns to the
Psalmist for the answer:
God is our hope and strength,
very present help in trouble.
Therefore will we not fear,
though the earth be moved and
though the hills be carried into
the midst of the sea.
Evening star., 1944-07-07

No doubt three considerations moved
the Germans to launch their long -ad-
vertised secret weapon: military,
morale and political.
1t would seem that they expected the
Allies to invade the Calais area. The
Allied bombings Of that area must have
been so interpreted. Had that happened
the rocket bomb installations might
have been used to repel the invasion.
This intention would account for the
delay in putting the weapon into opera
ton
Something had to be done to lift the
German morale in the moment when
the Atlantic Wall was preached and
fulfill the promise Of reprisals for the
bombing of German cities The rocket
bomb has partially achieved this.
The third purpose was to influence
the political course of the war. A maxi
Mum hope was a negotiated peace;

Scientists have known that the horrors
Of this war are only a curtain-raiser to
the certain horrors of any next one So
far this war has been relatively con-
servative. Weapons have been made
vastly more powerful-but they are the
conventional weapons Airplanes were
used in the last war. Tanks decided the
last war The magnetic mine was new
invention, but not a new weapon We
have one weapon less in this war than
in the last, poison gas, for the simple
reason that every nation has it.
So far, also, the explosives that have
been used are conventional But In the
realm of pure science there are explosive
energies that will in a generation make
those of 1914 look like firecrackers And
the science of electronics has hardly
begun to be exploited.
Imaginative people with some scien-
tific background who have been clam
