Epidemics of disease must be

A conquered population must

tunity to return TO work, to pro-
duce its food and other needs.

In fact, MANY of our laws about

Many of the other American re-

In Costa Rica, qualified voter
who fails or refuses to exercise his

WASHINGTON, April 16-The
w meaning of the death of Mr..
Roosevelt 10 the country and
the world escaped searching ex-
animation in the period of shock
and mourning.
His law partner. Basil O'Con-
nor, in a tribute which was
great in its simplicity, said por-
tentous estimates of the changes
10 'be expected, might not be
safely made for long time.
Yet the passing was not a
shock 10 those who knew the
condition Of the President. and
IN that fact lies the substance
of the immediate situation. A
week before his death he had
lost his taste for food. His gen.
eral condition had become so
weakened. a bad cold might at
any time have brought the end
which came through hemorrhage
OF the brain.
He had not been able to work
at the White House for many
previous weeks but had been at
Hyde Park and Warm Springs.
Indeed, he had been a sick man
for at least Is months. The

Father McManus Backs
Educational Aid Bill

Strong support for the Mead
Aiken educational aid bill, under
which the Federal Government
would help States remove substand-
ard conditions in education, was
voiced today by the Rev. William
McManus, assistant director Of the
education department of the Ma
tional Catholic Welfare Conference
in a hearing before the Senate Edu-
cation and Labor Committee.
At the same time, Father Nc
Manus said he objected to the
Thomas-Hill bill, which cuts nom
public schools from the Government
financial assistance program to the
States. The Mead-Aiken bill pro-
vides that nonpublic schools receive
Government assistance the same as
public schools.
Declaring that parents are guar
anteed the right to send their chill
dren to nonpublic schools, Father
McManus said, 1.-THE Government
which allows them to exercise this
right should not deprive them OF
benefits common to all which are
granted by Government for the gen.
eral welfare Of all citizens
The Mead-Aiken bill authorizes
expenditure OF $3.50, ,000, 900 q year in
State assistance. The Thomas-Hill
bill provides an approximate $780,
10000 annual expenditure.

Walker Violated Law
In Esquire Mail Ban,
Appeals Court Told

Esquire magazine carried its fight
to regain second-class mailing privi-
leges to the Court of Appeals today
with the argument that Postmaster
General Walker had gone beyond
the law in taking away those privi-
leges.
Bruce Bromley, counsel for the
magazine, charged that even if the
law were rewritten to support the
ban, the law would be unconstitu-
tional.
Three members of the court, JUS
tices Justin Miller, Henry w. Edger-
ton and Thurman Arnold, heard the
arguments of Esquire on its appeal
from a District Court decision up
holding the Postmaster Generals
ban.
The magazine, however, under an
agreement with the Post Office De-
partment, continues to use the Sec
ond-class mail with the proviso that
it will pay the difference between
second and fourth class rates if it
ultimately loses the case. Counsel
for the magazine indicated that if
it loses in the Court of Appeals, the
case will be carried to the Supreme
Court.
Mr.. Bromley contended that the
Postmaster General originally had
charged that the magazine had pub
lished about 80 items which were
obscene. In hearing before three
Post Office Department officials on
the charge, Mr.. Bromley said, the
magazine was cleared by a 2-to-1
vote.
The Postmaster General, however,
Mr.. Bromley said, did not issue his
ban on the basis of obscenity, but
charged that the periodical did not
disseminate information for the
public welfare and hence did not
meet statutory second-class mail
ing requirements.
In the District Court hearing, the
magazine counsel said, the Post
master General had stipulated that
the ban did not depend on the
obscenity charge and that Esquire
had not been considered non
mailable."
The only part left in the Gov
ernment's charge, Mr.. Bromley con-
tended, was that 1t did not con-
tribute to the public welfare.
To answer this charge, Mr.. Brom-
ley told the Court of Appeals Es-
quire was a regular periodical with
departments covering literature
articles, art, theater, sports and
other subjects of public interest.
He said testimony at the Post
Office Department hearing declared
that the Varga girl illustrations die
not violate any obscenity provisions
of law. The magazine, he added
does not differ much from the
New Yorker, Vogue, or even Life
magazines.
The Government was to be rep
resented by Marvin Taylor, Justice
Department ATTORNEY.

Archbishop Cur|ey
Urges Rejection Of
Sterilization Law

A three-point argument against
adoption in the District of legisla-
ton permitting sterilization of men,
tally deficient but otherwise healthy
persons by regulatory bodies was
advanced today in a public state
ment by the Most Rev. Michael j.
Curley, Archbishop of Baltimore
and Washington. It was addressed
to the Commissioners.
Declaring he was startled" to
read in the newspapers that "in the
course of the past IL years 16 woman
patients have been sterilized at Gal
linger Hospital" the prelate said he
was even more disturbed by pro-
posals to legalize this practice.
Proposes Remedy.
He was equally opposed to such
legislation, the Archbishop con-
tinued, whether the operations
would be authorized solely by a
commission of medical men or with
the consent of relatives of the in
mate.
Mentally deficient persons, he
said, might be prevented from
having progeny by supervision,
segregation and protective custody" "
The three arguments advanced to
support his stand were outlined by
the Archbishop, in part, as follows:
/. 1T is basic principle of sound
reason as well as a fundamental
tenet of Americanism, that every
human being has certain personal
rights OF which he may not be law
fully deprived, either by another
individual or by civil authority, as
long as he does not forfeit them by
crime. among these rights are
the right to life and the right to
the preservation of ones bodily in
tegrity.
Approach to Totalitarianism.
2. Legislation which permits the
sterilization of the feeble-minded at
the discretion of public officials is a
clear-cut example of governmental
encroachment on the rights of the
individual citizen, and as such be-
tokens an approach to totalitarian-
ism. One of the earlier legislative
enactments of the Nazi regime in
Germany was a system of steriliza-
ton laws. AS is known, these
laws subsequently enabled the Nazis
to perpetrate deeds of incredible
brutality, even against entire racial
groups, particularly the Jews.
3. "Once person holds that the
State may sterilize at the discretion
of the civil authorities, he could
logically hold that persons could be
put to death by the State if their
mental or physical conditions rem
der them helpless burdens. = The
Nazi government made this logical
deduction, and the consequence was
the prevalence of mass murders OF
'undesirables' in Germany and in its
subjugated countries during recent
years. = I" ="
