Shed A Tear For Suzy,
|Harried Holiday Clerk
By ARLENE WOLF
AP NeWsfeatures Writer

Oh pity Suzy the shopgirl, now
mat Christmas is here. And keep
right on plying her until New
Years. What she and her sisters
behlnd the counter 60 through dur
ing the holiday holocaust deserves
the DSM-the distinguished selling
medal.
The minute Suzy steps behind
the counter, she loses her identity.
ats Miss, I'm next" and Miss,
walt on me-" and Miss, what do
you mean by ignoring me-" Suzy's
at a electromagnetic doesn't
know who's next, or she can't see
the customers for the crowd.
That's not the only disadvantage
under which she's working. De-
spite what you've experienced
with snappy salesclerks during the
war, Suzy's been told to be cour-
teoIs. The trouble is, nobody's told
the customers to be courteous to
Suzy. No matter how rushed or
lrate they are, the salesgirl is
supposed to hold on to her temper
and her patience.
The shopgirl is surrounded by
customers who haven't had the
good sense to find out in advance
the size glove or slip they want.
She's constantly having men plead
for the right size stocking tor a
lovely lady just so high. And while
she's struggling to imagine the
dimensions Of the lady described,
IA other customers are clamoring
for service.
Unless Suzy is one of the stores
old selling standbys, she's not a
specialist. She may be working
her way through medical school,
or waiting for her teaching license
to come through. She may even
be an unemployed stenographer
who's ben corralled to work part
time during the rush. She may
work at the cosmetics counter one
night, in the toy department an
other. She had to decide what
shade face powder would be right
for a girl with blue eyes, purple
hair and yellow complexion.
Friend customer never thought Of
bringing sample, or an empty
box, or something to help. In the
final week before Christmas, she
may sell neckties, refrigerators
and tablecloths. BY weeks end,
she's wishing she had decided to
scrub floors to pay her college
tuition.
Christmas Day, Suzy collapses
under her own tree. Somehow,
she's managed to sandwich in a
little shopping of her own during
lunch hours, but her holiday spirit
is gone with the customers. She
tcould use weeks vacation, but
her troubles have just begun.
On Dec. Is. she's back behind
the counter, bracing herself for
the post-Christmas exchange orgy
That mans wife didn't have purple
hair and blue eyes-it was the
other way around, and she's back
to swap her face powder. Suzy

from 1901 until his death in 1893,
when 1t was buried with him. His
canonization in 1888 provided an
opportunity for its retrieval. The
crown then was embellished with
an outer circle Of gold and jewel
encrusted panels showing other
saints. Thus enhanced in intrinsic
value and symbolic significance,
1t was captured by the Turkish sui
tan Suleiman in 1926, only to be
regained by the Hungarians when
they rallied and defeated the Mos
lem invaders. The crown at differ
ent times thereafter was kept at the
Castle of Visegrad, at Prague and
elsewhere. 1t was carried to Vienna
by Joseph II in 1880, and rescued
from thicket on the Danube shore
by Franz Josef, where it had been
hidden during revolution, in
1S4s. Supplementary regalia include
a sceptre, an orb, sword and mag
nificent coronation robes. Normally

handled. Early in the trial his lawyer
was taken sick and q friend, who was
wholly unprepared, took over. The Or
dinary public-defender system would
not have corrected this defect, but an
obligation certainly rests on the State
to see that some one, whose business
1t il to see that accused persons are
properly defended, is connected with
tho machinery Of justice. It is my opin-
ion that this is an obligation shared
by both judge and prosecutor.
The erroneous identification was
tragedy Of errors. Once more, 1t is
shown how imperfect are human
memory and human powers Of observa-
tion. Mr.. Campbell and the real GRIM
inal resembled one another only
slightly.
Still more serious was the apparent
overanxiety of the district attorneys
ONCE and the police to get this par
ticular conviction. A series Of forgeries
had stained the fair name Of New York,
and apparently 1t was thought that
somebody ought to suffer. Some one
did, but
The judge was highly regarded by
the bar for honesty and legal knowl-
edge. But, In this case, he appears to
have been overzealous.
This case, once more, highlights the
evil public practice Of judging q dis
trict attorneys efficiency by his per-
centage Of convictions. Such q meas
ure of efficiency is false and not in the
public interest. A district attorney
selects the cases which he prosecutes.
Then he usually counts pleas to a
lesser ofense as convictions. These
pleas are often secured by Offering a
small penalty, after indictment for a
large crime. The district attorneys

regulated.

provisions, certain islands which are
considered essential for the military
security of the Nation, there Is nothing
to prevent their transfer later to some
other nation should the Council deem
for one reason or another such q trans
fer advisable.
Military and naval men express pri-
vately the fear that the security of the
country-purchased at such a heavy
price In the Paciflc-may thus become a
football In the field of international
politics.
We are today the most powerful but
also the most envied country in the
world. It is quite conceivable that
whenever the Council wishes to take up
the question of revision of the trustee
ships, it will be able to do so and may
assign to another nation, by a majority
vote, a territory administered by the
United States. Past experience in diplo-
matte intercourse shows that such pre-
negatives, II exercised by an interna-
tional body, are always subject to
political deals and bargainings.
Much horse trading is usually being
done behind the scenes. Americas rec
ord In such tradings has been poor dur
ing the war. II only six of the II mem
bers Of the Council combine In one of
those get togethers," which we have
seen IN the past at most international
parleys, to remove us from some of the
strategic islands, there is little this
country can do but accept the verdict
This country is not likely to adopt the
policy Of come and get them" as
Japan, for instance, adopted In the
past in regard to the inundated islands
which had belonged to Germany In
the last war. It will abide by the ma
jority decision of the Council.
The only way we might prevent such
an action would be by exercising the
veto power to which the permanent
members of the Council are entitled.
But it Is not clear yet whether that
veto power can be applied to the trustee
ships. If it is considered "procedural
matter" an Affirmative vote of seven
members can bring the matter up for
discussion, and then we might witness
once more the horse tradings and be-
hind-the-scenes maneuvers which were
so well known at Geneva.
The Army more than the Navy was
interested in the trusteeship Of the
Kuriles which in 1875 were traded by
Russia to Japan for the southern por-
ton Of the Sakhalin Island. Americas
security will not suffer much from the
Kuriles being reoccupied by the U. S.
S. r. But the naval and military men
In Washington are seriously perturbed
over the future Of the other strategic
islands which will be intrusted to us,
and may later be transferred to some
other power

The Price of Survival
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
Each power has assumed a solemn
obligation not to go to war except in
self-defense, but there is no machinery
to compel the permanent members to
live up to this obligation. Even II there
were such machinery. in the blueprint
stage, how easy would it be to coerce
Russia, with its great armies and vast
land mass, or, If we can imagine such a
contingency, the United States, which
for the moment has the only atomic
bombs In existence? And with what
result, except another and more terrible
war? The solution must lie in ultimate
international control OF the atomic bomb
and any other peculiarly destructive
weapons subsequently invented. Such
control will not be easy or simple, but
We know that the secret the United
States now possesses cannot be per-
manently kept secret, and we can
foresee the catastrophe results Of an
armament competition at the atomic
level. The United Nations will have to
solve this problem II civilization Is to
survive. Another organization under
another name could do no more. The
problem can be solved II the spirit rather
than the letter Of the Charter prevails.

them for the prosecution OF war. It
was the attitude assumed by most of
the political leaders here after the
hrst World War, despite the fact that
the debates in Congress, when the war
loan bills were passed, indicated these
war loans were to be regarded as
Americas contribution to winning the
war. Not only did this country demand
repayment. but it enacted new tariff
laws to prevent the sale of foreign-made
products In this country, shutting of
the only means by which our debtors
might have raised money to pay their
debts. BY this action it touched of
series Of acts by other nations, raising
barriers to international trade, and par
ticularly trade with the United States.
The Truman lease-lend report has
correctly pointed out that If this
enormous debt were to be added to
the other large financial obligations
that our allies have incurred for war
purposes, and which they must incur
hereafter for rehabilitation and recon-
struction Of their devastated countries,
1t would have disastrous effects in those
countries and in our own. The Presi-
dent Is sticking to the proposition that

rehabilitated, and if this country itself
Is to be prosperous. He backed strongly
the extension of the Reciprocal Trade
Agreements Act, and it was passed with
provision that allows him to further
reduce tariffs. He has fought, too, for
arrangements looking to stable none
tary exchange relationships and inter-
national credits.
The President has been criticized for
ineptness in handling the lease-lend
issue. On the contrary, the President
has been frank in his report to Con-
gress. His critics maintain that he
should have held the lease-lend in
debtedness as some kind of a club over
our allies to force concessions from
them. Mr. Truman's idea has been to
win friendship rather than suspicion.
He has correctly stated that lease-lend
was as much an American contribution
to the winning of the war as was the
use Of our armed forces; that the arms
and munitions and food turned over
to the allies were used, and well used,
to help bring the Axis nations to their
knees.

On Postwar Buses

The recommendations put forward
by the Navy for the retention of
great network of bases in both the
Pacific and the Atlantic call first
for agreement among ourselves on
what our future national defense
policy should be, and second for
agreement with other countries in
cases where the islands involved cut
across their interests, either from
the standpoint of prior possession,
long-term security considerations,
or the trusteeship principle of the
United Nations organization.
AS outlined informally to the con-
gressional Naval Affairs Committees,
the proposed Pacific bases would be
spread from Kodiak and Adak off
Alaska and in the Aleutians down to
Balboa in the Panama Canal Zone,
thence westward from Hawaii in
vast northerly and southerly net
work including Guam, Saipan and
Tinian considered as one), Two
Jima, Okinawa, the Philippines and
Manus, the latter a prewar British
possession just north of New Guinea.
Similarly, in the Atlantic, the Navy
would maintain major outposts at
Argentia in Newfoundland, Bermuda,
Puerto Rico, Guantanamo Bay in
Cuba and Coco Solo in the Canal
Zone.
In addition to these points, many
OF which have long been ours, there
would be numerous lesser stations
and perhaps other major ones in
both oceans. The wisdom of estab-
fishing powerful chain of outposts
can scarcely be questioned. but we
must recognize at the same time that
we cannot do it in an entirely
unilateral fashion. In the case of
Manus, for instance, or Argentia or
Bermuda (where we hold a 99-year
title, the proposal could not very
well be effected without some un-
derStanding with Britain. BY the
same token, positioning ourselves on
Okinawa in the strategic Ryukyus,
which stretch like wall between
the Pacific and the East China Sea,
might we'll call for some consulta-
ton with Russia and CHINA fact
recently suggested by Admiral
Spruance when, in questioning the
wisdom of such move, he said, "It
would be sore point with us if
foreign power held string of is
lands blockading our coast"
Beyond such international consid-
erations, moreover, the Navy's pro-
posal must yet be decided upon by
our Joint Chiefs of Staff in terms
OF our longrange security needs.
The ultimate decision after that will
be up to Congress. Meanwhile, the
whole subject remains in what
might be called the debatable phase,
during which the American people
must keep in mind that it will cost
money and effort to maintain what
ever bases we finally establish, and
that that money and effort must
never be spared once we have made
up our minds to 60 ahead with the
project. The story OF Guam should
be a lasting warning to us on that
score.

Convicting the Innocent
By Raym ond Moley

A thrilling and, true detective story
could, and probably will, be written
about the case OF Bertram M. Campbell,
who, eight years after his conviction
for forgery in New York City, has.
been found completely innocent. Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey has issued . full
pardon and has made q pledge that
he will ask the Legislature to provide
liberal compensation for the time Mr..
Campbell spent In prison.
It was q case of mistaken identity.
Another man, with long criminal rec
ord, confessed the commission Of the
crime for which Mr. Campbell was
convicted and for which he served SO
months In Sing Sing. Interest in the
case is heightened by the fact that
Thomas E. Dewey was the district at
torney, whose oflce prosecuted the case,
and Thomas e. Dewey is the Governor
who officially issued the full pardon.
How in such case society can make
proper amends for q shocking wrong
is a matter for speculation which need
not detain us here. The name Of Ber-
tram Campbell has been cleared for
himself and his family. He will re-
ceive financial compensation. The SUI
fering he must have endured no power
on earth can erase.
But society, collectively, and every
law-enforcement off1ce In particular.
can take note of this case and do some
thing to improve an obviously clumsy
system OF administering justice. The
New York Criminal Courts Bar Asso-
ciation, through Robert Daru, is tnves-
tigating the case and endeavoring to
establish legal and administrative safe
guards to prevent some Of the many
unfortunate circumstances which at
tended the conviction.
Some Of the necessary safeguards win
have special application to New York
County and need not be mentioned here.
But a number Of other lessons have
general application to every criminal
court In the land.

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

President Truman's announced policy
toward lease-lend-that there would be
no demand that our Allies repay the
balances due this country-is coura-
geous and sane. 1t Is. perhaps, the most
courageous step he has taken, because
criticism was sure to arise. First, from
Mr.. Truman's political opponents; sec
ond, from Mr.. Trumans fellow Demo-
Gratis who fear he has given the COP
an issue in the congressional political
campaign next year. Mr.. Truman's pol
Icy Is essentially sane because to insist
upon repayment of the balances due
this country-amounting to approx
in cash-would sink our Allies eco
nomically. 1t would bring about an i'm
mediate cut-throat economic war, the
kind OF war which might well lead to
a third world war.
The announcement of the Truman
policy on lease-lend was contained in
the Presidents 26th and latest re-
port on that activity to Congress. The
report had been made public only a
few hours before the critics and the
hagglers were in full cry. So much 80
that Secretary of State Byrnes put out
statement in which he seemed to back
paddle to some degree, for the admin
istration, on the idea that lease-lend
balances were to be forgotten. 1t only
beclouded the situation Mr.. Truman
however, having come to a conclusion
on what he considers the right course
to pursue, is not likely to deviate If
there are some things in lease-lend
that require negotiation-and probably
there are-they will be negotiated. But
these are minor affairs compared to
the huge total and do not affect the
principle involved, which has been ap-
proved by the President in the lease
lend report. This country, up to June
80 of this year, had extended lease-lend
aid valued at $4,000. .799 900. This in
cluded goods of all kinds and shipping
and other services. We had received
in reverse lease-lend from our Allies
total Of $500, 1854, 900, cumulative to
April l, 1945.
1t has been considered politically
popular to demand that the nations
allied with us in war pay for arms and
other necessary supplies which the
country, with its huge productive capac-
ity has been able to turn over to

Tunqier Changes

II may be assumed that Spain will
soon withdraw Its troops from the
Tangier zone in accordance with the
decisions reached by France, Brit
ain, Russia and the United States
to restore the international status
of this highly strategic area on the
African side of the Strait of Gibral-
tar, western gateway to the Medi-
terranean. Generalissimo Franco
Is on record as being willing to make
such withdrawal and is scarcely
IN q position to do anything else,
especially now that the Allies have
told him to do 1t.
In 1910, few days after the COL
lapse Of France, Franco sent his
troops into the zone and forthwith
began aboHshing its International
hation by ousting all high officials
who were not Spanish. This was
unilateral action in violation of an
international statute under which
Tangier had been jointly controlled
up to that time by Spain, Britain,
italy and France, with the French
predominant. Today, when it is no
longer possible for him to act
unilaterally on such a subject,
Franco must abandon the ambition
he once had to incorporate the area
into the territory of Spain.
Although the terms of the agree
ment reached last week in Paris by
the Big Four have not yet been
officially disclosed, 1t is reliably
reported that Spain will continue
30 have a role to play in Tangier's
international control setup. This
role, however, probably will be more
limited than in pre-1e40 days in
view of the fact that Russia and the
United States-both for the first
time-will also be controlling pow
ers, along with Britain and France
and presumably Italy.

been decided upon by the Big Four
Is to turn over most of the zones
