MURDERERs SPARED

There are a lot of Americans who disagree
emphatically with President Truman, Secre-
tary Stimson and the Judge Advocate General

William c. Colepaugh and Erich Gimpel from
death sentences.
Colepargh and Gimpel sneaked into this
country FROM Nazi submarine, intent on
sabotage and murder. That they did not sue.

wrecking war industries or transportation is
only because they were caught by the FBI
before they corld get under way.

schools, training for the bloody work to be

allies for spying and sabotage in wartime.
The fact that hostilities ceased between the
time they were convicted and the time for
their execution seems to be the motivating
factor in sparing them.
The death penalty was raised as deterrent

Philippines Provide Example

General MarArthur's address before the
Philippine Congress is significant of several
things, chief of which, perhaps, is that, de-
spite the Japanese occupation and the de-
struction accompanying it, the Filipinos are
calmly resuming the legal processes OF legis-
lation and living as soon as the enemy is
driven forth.
Nowhere else on earth have people, not
independent of outside supervision, taken such
a firm hold of their own problems and shown
such determination and skill in their solution
Surely the Philippines offer the best of ex-
amples of what can be done to fit the peoples
OF dependencies for self determination. When
the United States took over in the islands it
was with the idea of training the people for
home rule There no thought OF explolta-
ton or profit In fact, the contrary was true
The United States expended many millions Of
dollars constructing physical improvements
and establishing and conducting schools.
One result, and it is invaluable, has been
that when the Japanese came hordes OF Fill
pnos took up arms against them. fought

lean forces, ana throughout the years OF enc

can friends and to themselves. Filipino guer-
rio forces were always the trail of the
