Where with ear Little Hatehst We tell
the truth sbsut many things. Sometimes
profoundly. ssnstinss AiDDantly. some
times Tseklsssly.

Nothing has changed the ways of
thinking of SO many people as much
as We Day changed them-not since
Pearl Harbor.
Thoughts are on such things as
rehabilitation, re-conversion, the San
Francisco conference, how quick can
we lick the Japs, and how much of our
food will we have to send to Europe.
Other questions that get play relate
to gasoline and tire prospects and
food rationing.
The end Of Germany brought to
many people an end of unselfish think
ing.
Oh, sure, there's still war on, but
Germany has been licked. That's how
lot Of thinking goes.
The war that's still on is long
ways off. The San Francisco confer
ence? Oh, let 'em gable away. What
can we do about it anyway?
There's lot Of that, now that Ger
many is licked. The majority takes
the serious view, knows bitter and
first class war continues, knows that
San Francisco must succeed for the
sake Of safe world.
The majority had better keep on
thinking Of the long haul-of the Jap
war, Of Europe's destitute condition,
Of the big conference and Of others to
follow.

representatives to keep to the proper
road.
That puts tremendous responsible
ity on the common people, otherwise
known as the body polite.
This is NOT the time for vacation
from thinking.
This is NOT the time for abdica-
tion from duty.
The most important chapter in the
book Of world history to date is in the
drafting stage. Also it is the most
important chapter in the forecast Of
the future. It had better be good.

The world is jockeying through a
period that. will determine, perhaps
for the next hundred years, whether
we are to have order under law, or
chaos and destruction until we have
sunk so low that recovery may be
impossible.
Plenty Of power politics is in the
picture. Plenty Of stupidity is in the
picture, too.
The overwhelming weight Of ideal
ism, which is common sense with it's
ears washed, must come from the
masses Of the people, ordering their

Business Organ Hits
Low JObless Benefits

Washington, D. Cone Of the ma
tons leading management publica-
tions, Business Week." has come out
in support of labor's contention that
unemployment insurance benefits in
the states are far too low to tide
workers over the postwar economic
let-down.
Business Week" estimated that
average benefits will amount to less
than SIS a week, and that, because Of
disqualifications Of one kind or an
other, only one-third Of those actually
idle will be able to draw compensa-
tion under state systems.

Amputation cases in the Army suburb.
Evening star., 1945-02-10

The first triple amputation case
Of an American soldier in either this
or the World War, the War Depart-
ment has disclosed, is Corpl. Ralph
A. Brown, 20, 6f Youngstown, Ohio,
now undergoing treatment at
Walter Reed General Hospital.
Corpl. Brown, tank gunner with
the 9Th Armored Division In France,
received wounds that necessitated
amputation Of his legs at midthigh
and his right arm, just above the
wrist. He also suffered compound
fractures OF the left arm.
Corpl. Brown was taken first to
England and then to the United
States by air. "The fact that Brown
is alive, and that the same is true OF
most of these amputees, is due
largely to the whole blood given
them and the expert surgery per-
formed so promptly" Gen. Rankin
declared.
There are no basket cases, the
term used to donate loss of all four
limbs, Brig. Gen. Fred w. Rankin
chief consultant in surgery to the
surgeon general, said. Nor were
any such cases reported during the
World War, despite rumors to the
contrary.

Washingfonians Oppose
Taxi Commission Plan

A bill recently introduced by Rep
resentative Harris, Democrat, of Ar
kansas, calling for a commission to
handle District taxi regulations was
branded unnecessary" by the
Washingtonians at a meeting last
night.
Asserting the bill would impose
IAN additional burden on District
taxpayers" members of the asso-
citation adopted a resolution intro
duced by Mrs. Henry Sawtelle to
oppose it.
The Summers -Capper resolution,
which provides constitutional
amendment empowering Congress
to grant national representation for
District of Columbia residents, was
unanimously supported by the
group. Miss Eta Taggart, presi-
dent, was named to represent the
association at hearings on the bill
next week.
The Washingtonians recommended
an amendment to the bill recently
introduced by Senator Chavez,
Democrat, of New Mexico, providing
that District residents be selected
to fill District government jobs.
The group favored filling local posi-
tions with persons who have lived
in the District more than 10 years
and who have not voted in any
State during that time.
A proposal by Representative He
bert, Democrat, of Arkansas, to
merge the Metropolitan and Park
Police Departments was approved
by the association. Members also
reiterated their stand favoring q
larger annual Federal contribution
to the District budget.
The meeting was held at the home

gree murder in the fatal shooting

hour and 40 minutes and told in
detail the events leading to the

he and his wife had been having
for several days.
The child, youngest of three, was
shot while lying between his par
ents in bed. Marsh told the court
that he did not know that the child
was there and that he thought he
was pushing the pistol barrel
against his wife's side instead of
the child's, VIXEN the fatal shot was
fired. He disclaimed any intention
of killing either his wife or his
child. but said that he was trying
to prove to his wife that he had

Previously he had testified that

leaving him and that she had his
pistol. Without ner knowledge, a
girl working in their home had
taken the pistol from her pocket
book and given it to him. Marsh
said. He alleged unfaithfulness on
the part Of his wife and declared
that this had worried him until 81
