Fy the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, May 6. The
Army airman son of Mrs. Antonio
Cirano, 54, expressed fullest conf
dence" today in the innocence of
his mother, held on a charge of
suspicion of homicide in the shoot
ing of her husband.
II can't imagine her firing the
shot" said the youth, Flying Cadet
Sam Cirano, who few here yester-
day from California. "She is per-
fectly innocent"
Mrs. Cirano's attorney said he
would seek her freedom on a habeas

about the eventual re- establishment
of public authority in their respec-
tive countries, now under German
control. Seemingly that procedure
was not followed because, under it.
the three great powers would have
had to pronounce jointly on French
affairs.
Chaotic" Situation.
Thus came to pass what can only
be described as chaotic situation
On the one hand, the special treaty
between Soviet Russia and the
Czechoslovak government for the
reconstruction of a national author
1ty in Czechoslovakia was nego-
tiated independently of the two
great western powers and only as
recently as May did it win British
approval. On the other hand, the
treaties Of the same kind signed in
washington and in London with
Belgium, Holland and Norway still
lack Russian Endorsement. How
ever, Mr.. Eden's statement in the
House of Commons yesterday makes
it plain at last that the controversy
concerning France draws near to
its end.
To sum up, no European com
mission worth the name can fulfill
an important part unless the par
ticlpating powers are at one on
fundamentals. This same remark
applies with still greater force to
the Council of the United Nations
mentioned in the Moscow commu-
nique last November, which has not
been brought into being.
At the present hour, a new at
tempt Is being made to introduce 1t
in the picture with its necessary ad-
junct-an executive committee of
the great powers. But little can be
achieved while the three major
governments do not feel quite sure
that. in all discussions developing
with other United Nations, their
solidarity will continue unimpaired

On the Other Hand
Politics Being Conducted AS Usual
When Nothing Else Is Normal

the Negroes not permitted to vote
the Democratic party may be over
looking its best vote -getter)
Seriously, is this the kind of poll
tics we should be engaging in al
this desperate time? I don't believe
most people think it is. l don't be-
lieve most people in Alabama and
Florida think it is. Which may be
the reason that Hill and Pepper

prognosticators-have been returned

scheme of things and lots of them
are very nice and useful people.
The disturbing thing is that In
time like this politics is being
conducted "as usual" when nothing
else is.
This lecture is brought on by the
primary elections of Tuesday in
Alabama and Florida, whereby Sen
ators Hill and Pepper have been
assured another six years in the
national legislative body. In each of
those States there are strong ele-
ments opposed to the present ad-
ministration. They could offer rea-
sonable argument against some of
the basic theories of the admins
tration and reasonable argument
against the competence of the men
who compose the administration.
They could argue, those who believe
1t, that the present Senators are not
the men best qualified to represent
their respective States. They could
convince some open-minded listen
ers no doubt; some they could not
They had right to try or even a
duty to try, and they had ample
means of reaching the voters. They
did try and they used their ample
means to the utmost.
What Was Emphasized.
And, If the whole campaign had
been conducted on that basis or
principally on that basis, there
would be no need to say anything
about it. But that sort of reason
ing. on platform and in print, seems
to have been a small part of either
the Alabama or the Florida cam
paign. In both States it was bitter
battle from the beginning, filled
with clashes that resounded far be-
yond the borders Extraordinary
charges were made against the pres
ent Senators.
OF Pepper it was alleged that he
had been guilty of hob-nobbing with
Negroes in Los Angeles. A picture
of the Senator addressing a Negro
church congregation in that city
was circulated throughout Florida,
making 1t necessary for the Senator
to explain the circumstances; that
he had responded to request out
there to aid in counteracting jap
anese propaganda designed to per-
suade Negroes that this is not their
war.
OF Hill it was charged that he
had escorted the President of Lii
IBERIA, friendly African republic, to
the rostrum of the Senate on the
day when that distinguished visitor
accepted an invitation to address
the United States Congress. Other
Southern Senators, it was virtuously
asserted, walked out of the chamber,
and Hill was blamed for not doing
the same.
The Wrong Kind of Politics.
On that level large part of the
campaign against the two Senators
was carried on And Mrs. Roosevelt!
1t sometimes sounded as If it were
the Presidents wife against whom
the campaign was being waged in
both States. Come to think of it,
if she could roll up that many votes
in those two States without taking
any part in the campaign, and with
