Hess Remembered

TO the Editor OF The Star:
Nothing has been said of Rudolf Hess
In connection with the coming Nurem-
berg trials Of Nazidom's arch war Grim
inals. Is this merely an oversight, or is
one permitted to let ones imagination
suggest the following line of thought?
British authorities might have per-
suaded Hess to turn states evidence
against his beloved members Of the
Old Guard" using the time tested de-
vice. of surprise in confronting de-
fendant and witness. 1t would prevent
the accused from preparing his de-
fense against attack from this new
quarter and might well catch him OF
guard. The British statement of Hess
gradual mental disintegration might
have been made with the precise pur-
pose Of allaying any suspicion as to
such future testimony.
The writer of these lines is well
aware that the war-guilt question of
Herr Hess is not raised here.

Letters to The Star
Corporal Denies Officers Want
Favors From Civilian AGENCIES

AoVOic A'AOAu NAVAldu ASClClSS
To the Editor Of The star:
Having been an enlisted man in the
Army for almost two years, I resent
slurs against our selected leaders-the
officers Of the best led Army in the
world. From whatever source they come,
by innuendo or blunt statement, must
slap them down.
Action by the War Manpower Com
mission las reported In the Daily Pa
cifican published in Manila) devising a
scheme whereby officers will get first
crack at postwar civilian jobs is an
insult to the class. Why, the very idea
that these hand-picked men are not
capable of competing against their
brainless underlings (enlisted mem In
the open market, is outrageous
Didn't the Army select our officers for
outstanding leadership? Well, yes, many
had no previous responsibilities and
were caught early in the draft-at a
time when the officer corps needed quick
building up. And, of course, many
others, regrettably not officers, had re-
sponsible jobs and were doing essential
work, SO they didn't come into the Army
until later but the officers can
stand on their own feet and need no
support from VINO or any other civilian
agency.
To sum up: Ofi1cers ask no favors-
want jobs.

The IndiunupoIis

There is bitter and tragic irony in
the story of the Indianapolis. This
proud and gallant 10.OO0-ton cruiser
suffered a terrible death of Leyte
after having completed a mission
directly related to the surrender of
Japan. The mission was the delivery
of an atomic bomb to the Marianas,
possibly the very bomb that fell on
Hiroshima or Nagasaki and precipi-
tated the end of the war. Yet, by
cruel stroke of fate. 1888 officers and
men OF this ship did not live to see
the coming Of peace. On July 80,
twelve minutes past midnight, the
Indianapolis went to the bottom of
the Philippine Sea, leaving only 315
survivors to tell of it's blazing finish.
Apparently the deed was done by two
torpedoes from japanese subma-
rine, but what is not clear is why
the cruiser was travelling without
protective escort and why full five
days elapsed before a rescue force
arrived on the scene. 1t is proper, in
the circumstances, that a board of
inquiry has begun an investigation.
If negligence was responsible for the
disaster-one of the worst in the
Navy's hiStory-then the American
people should know about it. even
though it will not restore the lives
OF those who died so close to victory.
Evening star., 1945-08-18

what it is, we cannot expect to
escape a minimum of "regimenta-
tion." Mr.. Hoover warns of the dam
gers of bureaucratic power over the
liberties and economic life of the
people," and it would be foolish to
say that this is not a source of dan
ger. And yet, as we move into the
atomic age" with all that that gen.
erality implies, we cannot close our
eyes to the dangers that would lie
in an attempt to discard all gov
ernmental control and direction of
our lives and Of our economic affairs.
The problem is to preserve our lib
critics and our economic system with
a minimum of bureaucracy" And
to do that, at the very least, the
system must be made to work in
manner satisfactory to the mass of
the people.

sulting unemployment by deficit spend
ing Is fantastic
The very management of a postwar
budget OF Is to 80 billion dollars will
require every tax resource which can
be found. And mounting deficits will
not only make the need for taxes great
er, but will dry up some of the resources
We already have.
A further hard fact people in public
Office hate to face is that the unemploy-
ment, in the next six to nine months,
which will result from the cancellation
OF war contracts, will have the whole
some effect of forcing a redistribution
OF the population, now crowded into
War-production centers. No means, 9TH
er than necessity can accomplish that
Those who deplore this temporary un-
employment are letting their immediate
concern for the unemployed get in the
way of what should be genuine con-
Germ for the longtime welfare of the
people who are losing jobs now.
1t may well be that if a serious de-
hation persists into the next three or
tour years we will hear from the Hansen
school again. But just now it is in
eclipse. and the departure of DR.. Han
sen is valid evidence of that fact.
