Continuance of open brawling among
the strangely assorted mhabitants OF
the political house that the late Presi-
dent Roosevelt built in New York City
is a source Of great perturbation among
Democratic national leaders, whose
business it is to maintain Democratic
control of Congress in 1946 and to re-
elect President Truman in 1948.
The latest imbroglio In the metrop-
oils started when Edward v. Loughlin,
leader of Tammany Hall, announced
that his organization had accepted Ben
jamin j. Davis, .jr., Negro Communist,
for reelection to the City Council.
Mr.. Loughlin stood by his guns for
several days in face of bitter assault
within his own organization, but when
william ODwyer, Democratic nominee
for Mayor, threatened to quit the ticket
unless Davis was removed from 1t the
Tammany leader gave In.
From the national party standpoint
the most disturbing circumstance was
an article by Candidate Davis in last
Sundays edition of the Daily Worker,
official organ of the Communist Party,
advocating Transformation of the Amer
ican South into an independent Negro

dropped this plan temporarily in pur-
suance of what he termed the 'Teheran
concord" Davis said the time had come
to resume its discussion.
II
The substance of the proposal previ-
ously advocated by Davis and other
leading Communists is that there should
be established so-called black belt
running in semicircle from Virginia
to Texas, abolishing artificial State
lines and setting up Negro soviet.
In this territory" one official Com
munist statement said, I'VE demand
that the Negroes be given the COM
plete right to set up their own govern
ment and the right to separate, II they
wish, from the United States"
The damaging implication OF this dis
closure is that it fits in with the claim
of Southern Senators, in recent speeches
against the Fair Employment Practices
Committee, that the chief advocates OF
this agency are Communists. seeking to
Sovietize the South

Jupun and Surrender

~ may NC tiidt cOihC ooPoAiOSC o. .
finding bits OF comfort in a few OF
the rather loose things being said
in this country regarding uncondi-
tional surrender-such as the sug-
gestion that perhaps our forces
ought not to occupy the homeland.
1t may be, too, that the war lords
of Tokyo, in view OF that kind OF
talk, may be entertaining the wish
full idea that if only they hold out
long enough, the United States may
grow weary of the struggle and be
content to end 1t on the relatively
easy terms of a negotiated or COM
promise peace-the sort of peace
suggested in the latest Japanese
"feeler" based on Aesop's story about
the sun, the wind and a mans coat.
If any one in Japan Is thinking
along such lines, however, he should
lend his ear to what Admiral Halsey
and General Kenney have just had
to say. Though speaking from wide
ly separated points-the command
er of the Third Fleet from his flag
ship off the coast of the homeland,
and the chief of our Far Eastern Air
Forces from his headquarters in
Manila-their messages were essen
TALLY the same in that both served
clear and unqualified warning that
the longer the Japanese resisted the
more terrible would be the destruc-
tion raining upon their heads.
In Admiral Halsey's words. enemy
sea power has been shattered into
helplessness: our Navy has already
begun "the final plunge into the
heart of Japan; nothing the Japa-
nese now do can have "any effect
whatsoever on the ultimate out
come" Similarly, General Kenney:
We are about ready to hit the home
islands with regular 5,000-ton raids;
it will be "the greatest massing of
air power the world has ever heard
of; well be able to control it like
water through a hoSe-turn it on
and off from target to target as we
want to-; it cannot be stopped.
Like drowning men reaching for
straws, the Tokyo war lords cannot
be blamed If they derive measure
of hope from some of the current
American discussion on peace terms
But they would do well TO remember
that the power now lined up against
them in the Pacific-sea, land and
air power-is power designed to de-
feat them totally. 1t is out there
already. 1t is growing daily. And
probably the most unlikely thing in
the world is that any of it will be
pulled back now in gesture of COM
promise by which this Nation would
willingly deny itself the complete
and unqualified victory so clearly
in its grasp.
japan, in grim sum. must yield or
be devastated as no nation has ever
before been devastated in the his
tory of the world-a prospect that
should fill the more intelligent of
Hirohito's subjects with a wholesome
desire to lay down their arms with
out further delay and let our oc-
cupying forces move in unoppoSed.

Clearing the Decks

The announcement that the Office
of Price Administration, with the
approval Of Sterilization Director
Davis, is preparing to abandon
price controls over number of
items which only remotely affect
living costs and essential living
standards should and will be well
coined.
At the present time there are some
100000 commodities and services
under price ceilings. Obviously, the
proper enforcement of such pro-
gram involves an enormous admin
istrative burden, and 1t also entails
a great deal of vexatious paper work
for merchants and other business
men. If substantial number of
these items can be removed from
the control list without material
injury to living standards or any
real advance in living costs, that is
something which manifestly ought
to be done, and which, according
to OPA officials, has to be done.
1t has to be done because OPA,
as we move into the reconversion
period, would find itself hopelessly
swamped under a mass of admins
trative detail if it tried to carry on
its present program in full and also
give timely attention to the hun
dreds and thousands of new prob
lens which will arise in the process
of fixing prices for peacetime goods.
In this latter field speedy decisions
will be an absolute necessity, and
it is to meet this need that OPA is
clearing its decks of things that are
not truly essential.
1t is interesting, in this connec-
ton, to recall that very similar
stripping-down program was an
nounced by OPA in April, 1943. The
earlier move was made under the
direction of Preptiss Brown, then
OPA administrator, but apparently
it came to little or nothing. The
prospects this time are brighter,
however, for OPA has reached
point where it must eliminate its
nonessential activities or find itself
incapable of handling the bigger
problems of reconversion.

Future of St. EIizubeth's

The population growth at St.
Elizabeth'S during the war years
gives some substance to Budget Di-
rector Harold D. Smiths complaint
that some reasonable limit must
be placed on the size of the hospital
The 1856 patients who were there
on June 80 represent an increase OF
2,199, or something over Al per cent,
since 1885. the largest increases
occurring since the war began and
representing patients from the Navy.
Yet the method chosen to limit
the hospitals growth raises num-
ber of questions which do not seem
to have been answered in the PreSi-
dents directive to the Navy Depart
ment, initiated by Mr.. Smith, that
Navy patients there be withdrawn
and no new ones assigned. For one
thing, the directive comes toward
the end of the war, when it may be
expected that the hospital pop
ulation will begin naturally to de-
cline. While the number of admis-
sions has increased, this increase
has been accompanied by what ap-
pears to be a consistent rise in the
percentage of cases discharged and
a decrease in time required for hos
Observation-Disclosures, it is be-
lieved, encouraging progress in the
treatment of mental illness.
But the main question relates to
the disposition of future Navy cases
and those to be removed from st.
Elizabeth's as a result of the Presi-
dents directive. That question, Mr..
Smith indicates, is not his problem.
The Navy's Bureau of Medicine and
Surgery may answer it, yet there
appears to be no other institution,
In this part of the country at least,
available for Navy personnel. 1t is
strange that so important deci-
sion as that relating to st. Eliza
beth's should be based on admins
trative considerations by laymen,
who quote no medical authority to
support their contention that st.
ElizabethS already has grown too
large to afford adequate medical
care.
st. Elizabeth'S was founded for
the treatment of the insane of the
"Army and Navy of the United
States and the District of Columbia. !"
Army patients are now treated in
Army hospitals, and there are hos
pitals for veterans under the Vet
erans' Administration. If Navy pa
tients are removed, the character of
a great national institution, which
has attained worldwide recognition
for IT'S research and progress in
treatment of mental illness, may be
greatly changed. While the hospital
is Federal institution, the majority
of it's patients already are from the
District of Columbia, paid for from
local revenues. The District is for
tunate in having access to hospital
of this character, yet its develop
ment has been on the scale of a
great national-rather than local
institution, and withdrawal of Navy
patients would add a maintenance
burden to the District out of reason
able proportion to what would seem
to be the requirements of munich
pality of this size. 1t is already an
ironic fact that the personal income
tax receipts in the District of Co.
lumbia barely exceed the cost of
Decentralization of it's insane.

Hitler's Humanitarianism'
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
In regard to German atrocities
unique claim is being made as to the
reason why it was necessary" to expert
ment upon human beings rather than
upon animals-namely that 1t was be-
cause of Hitler's humanitarianism. Der
Fuehrer allegedly said: ut is too cruel
to experiment on the helpless dogs and
cats and guinea pigs" DR.. Robert Lei
brand, German doctor imprisoned for
six years by the Nazis, is the source OF
this information.
Such cart-before-the-hor philoso-
ply reminds one of the fictional philoso-
pher Pangloss In Voltaires "Candide,"
who declared: Everything is made for
an end. Observe that noses we're made
to wear spectacles; and so We have
spectacles." LAURA K. POLLOCK.

The Myth Remains
From the Baltimore Sun.

Without seeking to appear too learned
about the mysteries of the mind, we
should like to suggest that, whatever
the fate OF Hitler. the man. the Hitlerian
idea transcended and will continue to
transcend It's embodiment In der
Fuehrer. The Hitler myth is something
that exists in the minds Of the Germans
who believed In him. What happens to
1t hereafter, how it will develop, will
depend on what happens to those be-
lieving Germans and will be affected
hardly at all by the discovery of a
burned and blackened CORPSE.

Fishing Rules Relaxed for All Year Season

LANSING. JULY % - Relaxed
fishing regulations voted by the
legislature early this year fall short
OF those now in effect in Is states
where year-around fishing is per-
mitted for all or some game fish
species.
FISHERMEN will benefit principally
by statute change effective next
January that will open all lakes
except designated trout lakes north
OF Mas to year-around fishing for
species on which there is no closed
season.
Emphasis is placed on protection
OF certain species of game fish,
rather than on the closing of wa
tiers to all fishing during certain
seasons OF the year. For instance,
closed seasons on black bass. blue
gills, and sunfish remain un-
changed.
The statute change liberalizes
present law to allow year around
fishing for yellow perch, calico
bass. bullheads, and other nom
game species in such lakes. 1t will
permit the taking of northern pike.
