THESE DAYS

DRESIDENT TRUM Ms
l. principal task at the begin
ming Of his term seems to be
the re-establishment Of due
process in government.
Personal government lacks
continuity because Ii functions
not within the narrow margins
Of due process" but acco. ding
to the private Judgment, likes
and dislikes of the ruler.
II is interesting, in this con-
nection, to read a dissenting
opinion by Justice Felix Frank
furter in the case of Malinski
VS.. People Of the State of New
York, in which he says:
the safeguards of due
process Of. iav' and the equal
protection Of the iavs' summar-
lie the history of freedom OF
English-speaking peoples run
ming back to Magma Carta and
reflected In the constitutional
development Of our people. The
history of American freedom il,
In no small measure, the history
of procedure"
1T is procedure as much as the
l. law which safeguards the
Liberties Of people.
In fact, sound law and made
quate procedure will not serve.
for then the law becomes a
mere philosophic expression or
il might even degenerate into a
slogan.
II is procedure which makes
the law a living institution.
1t is the form that protects
the content; it Is the manner
that upholds the truth.
That, for instance, is the diff
ference between our Bill OF
Rights and similar expressions
OF good-intent by many coun-
tries which make promises of
freedoms but avoid visualizing
them by due process and pro-
tecting them by insistence upon
procedure.
IN THE case. Georgia VS.. Penn
l. sylvania Railroad Co., an is
sue is raised which is equally
startling. namely that a state
may require the Supreme Court
10 take direct jurisdiction over
rates against a common carrier
engaged in interstate commerce
on the ground that certain rail-
roads have entered into a con-
spiracy in restraint of trade.
Clearly this involves the Sher-
man antitrust law and the
Clayton Act.
Clearly this involves the juris-
diction of the Interstate Com
merce Commission and the
attorney general of the United
States. If one state can cause
the court to take over the regu-
lation of rates. the same course
is open to every other state.
Again we deal with the ques-
ton of orderly procedure. JUS
tices Stone, Roberts, Frank
furter and Jackson. in a dis
senting opinion in this case,
said:
a.. The state has not availed
itself of or exhausted the ad-
ministrative remedies provided
by the Interstate Commerce Act,
which may afford an adequate
remedy and which must In any

Letters From
A Soldier

WE DID pretty well on the
w roll to port. Dishes
started getting away when the
ship rolled to starboard. Back
to port again, our feet were
slipping. We bumped against
each other. As one man lost
his footing, he'd knock another
one loose. In the matter of a
few seconds, all our plates had
skidded away and were on the
floor. And last Of all, Jerry
got himself completely out of
control, slipped in a puddle of
C % n d nse d milk, and went
sprawling headlong onto the
floor. sliding on his back
through our welter of food on
the floor.
And we all started to laugh,
and were still laughing when
we brushed Jerry off as well as
we could, and went back for
seconds.
We got seconds, except for
bread, and, as one of the KPs
had at least half a loaf which
we saw, We got mad when he
insisted, There isn't any more
bread"
ONE of US petulantly SHE'D a
" coffee cracker at him. The
cracker missed by a wide mar
gin and landed on the floor.
Then another KIP took up the
brawl. .
"Hey," he appealed to the
sergeant. This man just threw
some food on the floor"

asked.
zone cracker" we chorused.
'Well, we gotta clean this
place up," the KIP complained.
'Why don't your" we said,
really beginning to get mad.
"Awright," howled the KIP.
would you throw crackers on
the foor at home? Wouldja
do 1t at home
A ND that just about broke
"A up the party. IF our
houses were run like this joint,
we probably would" we all
shouted back.
At that instant the absolute
incongruity Of all of II hit us
again-the KIP raising a ruckus
about one cracker while we
stood with our entire dinners
on the floor around our shoes.
And comparing this mad, rolling
ship with a home-and Jerry
sliding fat on his back
through it!

BETTER HEALTH

minis, to constipation or a slug
gish liver. But fatigue is more
likely TO be due TO some nervous
disturbance than 10 any OF
these disorders. Thus, Or.
Frank N. Allan Of Boston ex-
amined the records OF about 300
patients whose principal symp-
tom was weakness or fatigue.
In one-fifth OF them. some
physical disorder was found and
in the remaining, a nervous dis
turbance of one kind or another
seemed 10 be responsible.
A NERVOUS disorder may be
"A assumed TO be the cause of
fatigue, particularly when en-
ergy is low in the morning and
improves during the day, or
when periods OF vigor are fol-
lowed by days of exhaustion
with no particular explanation
for the difference.
A number OF persons with IA
tigue seem 10 be quickly bene-
fited by the taking OF vitaminS.
thyroid extract, or some iron
separation. but all OF these
lterials are slow IN their ac-
Don. Hence. the immediate
benefits which seem 10 be OBJ
tanned indicate that the fatigue
IS due 10 a nervous disturbance
rather than TO need for any Of
the materials administered. An
other indication that the fatigue
Is due TO nervous disorders is
the immediate return Of syrnp-
toms when some customary
treatment Is omitted for sin
gle day. The continued pres
ence OF fatigue over a period Of
years, together with other
symptoms Of nervousness, anx-
iety and worry. is also the re-
suit OF some nervous disturb
ance rather than organic
disease.

see, you don't sit down. You
stand at long tables which are
fastened to the floor with steel
legs. The tables are - you
aren't.
Suddenly the ship started to
roll harder than usual-which
was pretty hard. because they
already had lashed down every
thing movable on deck.
Our tin eating gear began to
slide to port. We grabbed.
That's quite trick. You have
TO hang onto the table with one
hand, and try to hang onto your
stew, your coffee, and your
knife and fork with the other

ability of forcing this while

encourage me to accept II.

my position entirely clear that
my duty lies In my present
work-not only my duty to you
and the country, but my duty
to myself. II I were Mt any time

they did their best 10 make US
feel unwelcome.
The organization j now de-
funct. II expired last week
when the new first lady de-
clared, firmly. she would not
hold press conferences like her
predecessor
THE dame reporters tried TO
Il induce Mrs. Truman TO con-
tinue the practice but she re-
mained deaf 10 all arguments
and entreaties. Mrs. Truman
said she might have the news
paper girls in for tea now and
then but that all they'd get
from her would be tea.
The lady reporters hated TO
see the association die for two
reasons
I) Mrs. Roosevelt fire.

portant news.
(2) The fact that they alone
could interview the first lady
gave them increased stature in
their profession.
They could and did-figura-
lively stick out their tongues at
us abaShed males. flip their
skirts. and jeer:
"Yah! yah. yah!-can't get In
to see Mrs. Roosevelt, va big
smarty-cats, va"
BECAUSE it added so greatly
- TO their prestige, the girls
fought TO the last ditch TO keep
the thing going. And foremost
in the fight was the pretty and
charming Miss Ruth Mont
gomery.
Miss Montgomery was presi-
dent of Mrs. RooSevelt's press
conference association. Both
professionally and socially she
was as close TO Mrs. Roosevelt
as any reporter in the country.
And. now, If you will Just
roll over, DR.. Dixon, the dis
tinguished quack. will give you
a big injection Of irony

lovely Miss Montgomery is en-
ployed?

IN MY judgment, the man is

strategists call "a planned re-
treat"-impr0ViSing his escape
one step at time.
He is trying to get out OF this
engagement and avoid the June
wedding date without daring 10
say so frankly. maybe because
he feels he owes you marriage
after capturing your affections
and taking up your time for
several years.
His talk Of uncertainty" in
recent months is a veiled way
Of saying his interest has cooled.
His infatuation. which he mis-
took for love. has run its course.
But his problem is. how TO get

how TO jllt you mercifully.
spare your pride. avoid scenes,
hySteria. reproaches, etc.
Now, with the June date fast
approaching. and with you still
refusing 10 take the hint. he is
getting panicky.
He is staying away and not
telephoning. TO wean you from
clinging, so 10 speak. Don't you
get the drift?
In all-around support OF self
respect. you ought 10 face up TO
the meaning Of his conduct.
Cancel the marriage plans,
turn the man loose Of your own
free will. and let family and
friends know you've taken that
stand on the conviction that you
are not suited 70 each other.

 LIST OF HEROES
 K NOW lkTED

The Czechoslovak Government Foreign Office in London has pub lished in book form, under the title Heres and Victims" nominal roll of these men and women inside Czechcelovakia who are known - through official German announce ments-to have fallen on the home front. This is the first such roll of honor to be published by any of the United Nations.
 It is an incomplete list as yet. still to be added are the names of thcse killed on the battlefield or in the air, as forced laborers in Ger many, in concentration camps, or in the cramatories of occupied Poland.
 This first list comprises some 2,000
