LegoIistic Hoir-SpIitting

LegolIstIc HuIr-SplIttIng
Ten years ago, largely as a result
OF the efforts of New Deal spokes-
men, a measure of opprobrium had
become implicit in the term, ''cor-
poration lawyer" The reference was
to those members of the bar who
specialized in finding loopholes in
the laws regulating the activities of
corporations, and there will be few
to deny that the criticism of these
practitioners was justified by the
facts. Today, however, the shoe is
on the other foot. Some of the
lawyer friends of the New Deal have
become experts in spotting loopholes
in the law, and the question is
whether the administration is going
to proceed against its friends as
vigorously as 1t did against its
enemies.
This issue has been raised in clear
cut form in the report of the Senate
Committee on Campaign Expendi-
lures. In the recent campaign the
Ohio branch of the CIO supported
the candidacy of the Democratic
opponent of Senator Taft, although
the Corrupt Practices Act forbids
any contribution by labor organ
ization in national election. The
union did this after obtaining an
opinion from its lawyer that the ban
on contributions did not include
expenditures, even though there
might be no difference in purpose
and effect between a contribution
and an expenditure.
One of the members of the in
vestigating committee was Senator
Ball of Minnesc.e. He is a Repub-
lican, but he supported President
Roosevelt during the campaign, and
he can hardly be accused of parti-
sanship in this matter. After listen
ing to the statement from the CIO
lawyer, Senator Ball pointed out
that the laws definition of contribu-
ton and expenditure are virtually
identical, and he accused the union
attorney of splitting legalistic hairs"
in contending that the activities of
the CIO in Ohio did not amount to
contribution within the meaning of
the Corrupt Practices Act.
At the conclusion of the hearing
the committee recommended unani-
mously that, on the basis of the facts
disclosed, the Attorney General in
stitute a test case against the CIO
to obtain judicial ruling as to the
meaning of the term contribution"
as used in the law. That was five
months ago, and as yet the Depart
ment of Justice has done nothing.
1t is true, of course, that the Attor-
ney General is not bound by the
recommendation of any Senate COM
mittee. Furthermore, it is as much
nlS DUTY 10 protect the innocent as
to prosecute the guilty, and he ought
not to initiate a prosecution where
he does not believe there has been
a violation of law. This is an un-
usual case, however, and there is
a legitimate and important public
interest in its ultimate determina-
ton. There can be no excuse for
a do-nothing policy. The Depart
ment of Justice has had ample time
to make its own appraisal OF the
facts, and the Attorney General
should either adopt the recon-
mendation of the Senate committee
or make a public statement of his
reasons for being unwilling to do so.

For the Knockout

states with unwonted optimism
that, once that water barrier is de-
cisively preached and the hard crust
OF German resistance has been
broken, rapid sweep across the
North German plain can be conf
dsntly anticipated, while the orders
OF the day issued by both American
and British commanders to their
troops are couched in the same
vein. We may therefore conclude
that the supreme phase of the
European war has begun.
Although interest naturally TO-
cuses on the series of Rhine cross
lngs effected on twenty-mil front
centering at the town of Wesel, it
should be realized that this opera
ton is merely the tactical high
light in a vast and complex stra-
teg1c offensive which extends not
merely along the entire Rhine front
but which may also include Allied
landings on the Dutch and German
North Sea coasts, if rather cryptic
Official mention of naval operations
in those waters are given their
logical Interpretation. 1t should
likewise be understood that the
actual land offensive has been pre-
ceded by air attacks of unprece-
dented fury designed to disrupt
German rear communications, de-
stroy German airfields and reserve
troop concentration points and
generally isolate German 'front.'
line formations, pinning them down
to an inadequate and hopeless re-
slstance against overwhelming
odds. Last, but emphatically not
least, it would appear that the Rus
slams have begun a co-ordinated
drive across the River Oder toward
Berlin. Thus, from east and west,
the giant nutcracker squeeze is
being applied.
Considering specifically the cross
ings around Wesel, this has been
anticipated by both Allied and Ger
man military commentators as the
logical sector for a decisive break
through. In the first place, it by
passes the Ruhr, which, even in its
ruined condition, could be turned
into "a nexus of Stalingrads, since
that district is an almost uninter-
rupted series of industrial cities and
towns. North of the Ruhr there is
only fiat, open country-the vast
North German plain, which extends
clear across Germany beyond Berlin
to Poland, now in Russian hands. AL
ready drying in the spring sun and
winds, this is ideal terrain for large
scale mechanized warfare, with no
naturaabarriers except few rivers,
none as large as the Rhine. Fur
thermore, Wesel is the best gateway
to North Germany, because it is on
main east-west rail and road
trunk line running eastward across
Westphalia into the very heart of
the North German plain. It seems
unlikely that the decimated, over
strained Wehrmacht can long stand
up to such an avalanche of co-ordi-
mated power as the Allies have now
deployed. If this be true, the end
of organized German resistance in
the field should be within sight.

treal Canadiens seems well on
his way again to winning the
Vezina trophy-awarded to the
National Hockey League goaler
with the lowest goals against av-

allowed only 70 shots to eyade

better than any of the other goal

Normie Smith, who played

Nc Swimmers
Sunk in Match
Hazel Park Tokes
Bother Squad 59-25

Smarting from a defeat at
Hazel Park, on an engagement
of very short notice, Mount
Clemens High School swimmers
are threatening dire results for
the Hazelites when they invade
the local pool Jan. 80 at $3.50
o. M, for a return match.
The Bathers lost SO to %
points in a meet at the smaller
Hazel Park pool, which includ-
ed SO and l00-yard free style
swims; five optional and five re-
quired dives; l00-yard relay
and medley races and a 100
yard backstroke event.
Capt. Eldon Eschenburg and
Coach Quinn are not depressed
by the score, because the Bath
ers took on the assignment at
very short notice. They also
point out that the Hazelites pool
is smaller than that at MCHS.
The return match, they hope,
will show a different score.
Swimmers, besides Eschen-
burg, who participated were:
Dick Baxter, Les Carlos,
Chuck Walden, Bob Spier, Leroy
Sommers, Bob Tinker, Dick
Krause, Roy Vickers, Russ Stark,
Charles Starbuck, Bob Black,
Jack Anderson, Ernie Stengel

Schools Are Threat
in City Cage League

It took them a while to get
started but Schools Five today
looks like a troublemaker for
opposing teams during the re-
NAMED of the season in the

goals and a free throw for a
total of IL points. He shared
scoring honors with B. Shirooj
of the Bears who also tailed IL.
Schools built up their winning
margin in the first half, taking
lead of 1876.
Meanwhile Super Cleaners
added their sixth straight VIC
tory, turning back the Five Aces
easily, 45-2O. The Cleaners led
all the way, with Ralph Soenen
bagging II points for the Win
ners,, followed by Winnie Hazard
with 10 and Clarence (Harpo)
Seibert with IL. Klockow topped
the losers with 10.

first.
Nichols expressed himself as
having no objection to the motion
because it had always been his
personal feeling to utilize local
labor and concerns whenever pos
sible.

they thought the wording ICON
