son Goering, as high responsible
German official, was guilty of an
| international crime.
Though the view that aggressive
war is crime is disputed by some
international lawyers, MI. Justice
Jackson's argument is a weignty
one Germany. Italy, and Japan
were signatories of the Briand-Kel-
logg Pact of 1928; in that pact they
renowned war as an instrument
of national policy. Unless this
pact" says the Jackson report,
altered the legal status of wars of
aggression, it has no meaning at
all and comes close to being an act
of deception
He then quotes Mr.. Stimson who.
when he was Secretary of State in
1882, gave the official American in
depreciation of this pact. AS an in
strument of national policy war
has become illegal through
out practically the entire world.
1t is no longer 10 be the source and
subject of rights. 1t is an illegal
! thing. by that very act we
have made obsolete many legal pre-.
cedents and have given the legal
precedents and have given the
legal profession the task of reex-
amining many of its codes and
treaties.
Mr.. Justice Jackson goes on te
show that the Kellogg-Briand Pac
was not something exceptional. L
was one of whole series of solem.
international agreements declaring
that a war of aggression is an in
ternational crime. The Geneva Pro.
tocol of 1924 was adopted by forty.
eight governments. In 1927 the
Eighth Assembly of the League q
Nations by unanimous resolution
which included Germany, declared
that aggressive war was an inter.
national crime. The tWenty-one
American republics at the Pan.
American Conference of 1925
adopted unanimously a resolution
stating that war of aggression
constitutes an international crime
against the human Species
If we can prove that Germany S

no doubt that we canon wha1
ground can top Nazi claim that
he should not be condemned for
the crime of committing aggres-
sive war? Not on the ground that
| aggressive war was not recognized
as an international crime: Ger
many herself recognized it as be-
ing an international crime.
He can perhaps argue that since
no specific penalty was ever set
for this crime, he cannot be pun
ished for it, That might be an in
teresting defense if in committin,y
the crime of aggressive war, the
Nazis had not also committed and
prompted a w h lie catalogue
other crimes which, as Mr.. Justice
Jackson puts it, ''have been re-
garded as criminal since the time
of Cain and have been so written
in every civilized code" For these

ture
Officers at Fort Devens quoted
MCGEE as saying he had changed
his mind about making the Army
a career. They said he would ap-
ply for discharge under the
Armys point rating system, al
ready having 100 credits. The
War Department restored MCGEE
to duty after he had served few
weeks of his two-year sentence at
hard labor for striking the Ger
man prisoners whom he was as
signed to guard in France.

The report which Mr.. Justice
Jackson has just made is much
more than an account of how this
country proposes to deal with the
men, accused of war crimes. who
are in our hands. Having been ap-
proved by the President, the repor:
is a declaration of national policy
nobly and largely conceived, powe.
fully and persuasively reasoned.
This historic state paper will, If 1t
is acted upon efficiently and re-
solutely, contribute greatly to max
ing real and convincing the world
organization which is being founded
at San Francisco.
Mr.. Justice Jackson is chief OF
counsel for the United States in
prosecuting the principal Axis war
crirninals-thati is to say the men
who designed and directed "the
Nazi master plan" of conquest, ex-
ploitation, oppression, and enslave-
ment. They are to be judged for
having done what the war was
fought to stop them from doing and
what the world organization is be-
ing created to prevent any one from
attempting to Go again.
The historic Importance Of the
jackson report lies in its insistence
that the Nazi purposes and actions
we're crimes when they were
planned, and that they were crimes
when the United Nations resisted
them. Thus in the American doc
trine, which we have every reason
to think is also that of our Allies
the world organization is not es.

ternational conduct; it is not max
ing it an offense for the future t.
do what Hitler did in the past
What Hitler did was already an in
international crime when he did it
The purpose of the world organiza'
ton is to prevent in the future the
crimes which the international
military tribunal will deal with
right now.
The jackson report confronts
squarely, the moral and legal is.
sues which the declaration Of this
policy raises. There is a doctrine,
favored by some international
lawyers, which holds that the head
of sovereign state is not person
ally accountable for an internation-
al crime. There is also a doctrine,
which practically all the Germans
we have arrested are invoking, that
no official has committed a crime
no matter what he did, if he acted
on an order from an official supe-
rior.
Mr.. Justice Jackson challenges
those two doctrines, which would
give all the Nazis immunity, and
tell us that international mill
tary tribunal will permit none of
the accused to defend themselves
on these grounds. There will be no
debates with Goering's counsel
about whether it was legal for Ger
many as sovereign state to wage
war. We shall prove with factual
evidence that Germany's war was
aggressive, and that for that rea-

 o. just got out of the Air Corps and have decided to supplement my knowledge of radio with a cOrres- pondence course. What are the job possibilities and how can go about getting started while I am still talk ing the course?
 A. Your best bet is to go to the nearest U. s. Employment Service office. They will be able to line up job for you in radio and give you all the advice necessary.
 Q. Before I was inducted I was a laundry driver. I went to see my old boss and he said he had a job wait ing for me but I would have to fill out a new hiring and bonding ap- plication. This doesn't seem right to me. I did that once before when I got my job in the first place. Is it necessary that I do 1t again?
 A. The War Labor Board has ruled that employers cannot ask veterans with reemployment rights to fill out new bonding and hiring applications as a condition of rein statement.
 Q. They tell me if go to the USES and have them get me job it can only be in war plant. l want to get permanent job. Who should see about that?
 A. USES will give you advice and help you get job that isn't in a war plant if you want it.

PERJURY CHARGE
 CAUSE OF ARREST
Witness Held in COnnec= ton With Alleged False
 Testimony

A witness in a divorce action heard more than year ago was ar- rested on a superior court bench warrant today on a charge of per- jury and will face arraignment at a criminal session of the court.
 The warrant was issued against Luther Butler, 40, of g Vine street, at the request of States Attorney William B. Fitzgerald who accuses him of giving false testimony in the divorce hearing of Avery Blocker. Jr., 20, of 51 Pearl street. Blocker last Tuesday was sentenced to a year in jail when he pleaded guilty to a perjury charge arising from his testimony at the divorce hear ing.
 The court information Accuses Butler of "wilfully and corruptly swearing, and testifying falsely as to the length of time Avery Blocker was a resident of Waterbury" It is pointed out that the length of resi- dence in this state was material issue in the divorce proceedings.
 At the hearing, conducted May 5, 1944, Blocked claimed he was mar ried Sept. 27, 1940, at Johnston, S. c. Records found by investigators later showed the marriage was per- formed Sept. 25, 1941. Blocker claimed he was deserted Oct. 12, 1940. Under Connecticut state law, a desertion must be of three years duration before it can become a ground for divorce.
 Butler was arrested by Detective Lieutenant William Foley this morning and was taken to the pris- oners' section of the county court house building pending posting of bond. The bond of s2,500 was posted early this afternoon. A civil hearing is expectedto be assigned in superior court in regard to Blocker's divorce decree. Blocker last April 26 took sec ond bride, Marie Mott of 68 Vine street. His first bride was Anna Mae Walker of Jamaica, N. Y. The status of the second marriage is expected to be cleared when the hearing on the original decree is held.
 Blocker, minor, brought his di- vorce suit through Mack Butler of Waterbury, according to the com- plaint.

Druggists Send Query
 To Senator Wallace
Ask Explanation or Action for SupportGven Protested
 Measure on Assistant Pharmacists

Apparently the General Assem- bly's vote on widely discussed pharmacists measure was not the final word in the state controversy. Today Olindo DiNapoli, represent ing the Connecticut Association for the Advancement of Professional Pharmacy, issued public letter to State Senator Patrick Wallace ask ing an explanation for his action in voting for the adoption of the bill. Locally, the members of the Waterbury Druggists association were divided in opinion on the merits of the proposal. Several re- fused to take part in the discussion. Others associated with the execu- tives of the state organization waged very vigorous campaign of opposition.
 The letter to Senator Wallace follows:

 Dear Senator Wallace:

Eisenhower Given Costly Decoration

Frankfurt-on-Main. June H. (UP)-Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower and Field Marshal Sir Bernard L. Montgomery today wore Russian decorations estimated to be worth anything from $12.000 to $100, 900 each as a result of the visit here yesterday of Marshal Gregory zhu- kov.
 zhukoV, deputy commander of the Red army, flew to Frankfurt from Berlin to present Eisenhower and Montgomery with the coveted Rus sian order of victory. The decora- tion is magnificent affair made of diamonds, rubies and platinum. Be- fore yesterday. only seven top-rank- ing Russian field commanders had received it.
 The award is the highest in the Soviet Union.
