A Lame Defense

young woman appeared before the official
body OF church for examination of her fitness
for membership therein. member of the in
QUESTION asked her if 'her church, command
ed her to leap from cliff to her death
would she obey? Having absorbed all the pun
ishment she could take, she fatty replied no
and walked out.
The incident is cited in connection with the
defense OF SIS guards charged with killing or
mlstreating prisoners at the pest holes of Bel
sen and Oswiecim. These guards, claims the
defense, are not guilty of war crimes because
they were but obeying the law Of their land,
Granted that there must be defense to
make the trial legal as long as the defendants
have not pleaded guilty. it is nevertheless true
that, whatever the Reich laws or rulers NAV
nave dictated as to the treatment of concen-
tration camp prisoners, the defendants. in
carrying out the slaughter and prosecution of
their charges, committed crimes against hui
manly, and themselves, lacking normal hui
manltarian attributes, failed to say no and
walk out, as the young woman did, and as
any reasonable person would.
The fact is, they were guilty as the Nazi
leadership which ordered the bestial program
at concentration camps.

PNOM PENN, French Indo-
China, - az .Twenty-three year
old Norodom Sihanouk, who was
plucked from school in May 1910
by palace politicians and Buddhist
priests with French advice and
became King of Cambodia, re-
mains loyal to France.
In an hour-long interview the
young king, speaking French
throughout, said he hoped his king
dom would remain Allied with
France under a newly-promised
autonomy. Many of his people, es-
timated to total 10 per cent of the
1ndo-C Chinese population, are clam
oring for complete independence.
The King received correspon-
dents in his palace which is sur
rounded by royal buildings, Pa
CODA, classical Cambodian dane
ing pavilion and the stables where
only one of his II elephants now
is residing - the others having
been removed to the country. The
king, a brisk, pleasant, square.

mayor of Detroit was showed under by the
vote for the incumbant, Mayor Edward j..
Jeffries, Jr. Mr.. Jeffries polled 57,518 more
votes than Richard T. Frankensteen who, be-
sides being CIO official, had the endorse
ment of that organizations Political Action
Committee Mr.. Frankensteen even lost his
home precinct
The outcome in this city which has been
such a hotbed of unionism is body blow for
the labor bosses, and particularly for the Poll
teal Action Committee which played such a
prominent part in the last national elections
that it had come to believe itself all powerful
in this land of the free and home OF the
brave.

The King is unmarried, but has
royal harem and a group of
dancing girls who are now rehears-

his Oath birthday (Nov. 14), to be
followed by a three-day water
