WAR CRIMINAL LIST
STILL is LARGE

There must he no let-down in what
ever plans have been laid for hunting
down and prosecuting all war criminals
because one, and perhaps two whose
heads carried the heaviest prices, have
met their fate On the contrary, the
deaths of Mussolini and Hitler should
serve only to press for immediate efforts
to begin rounding up the hundreds of
others equally as guilty. And many of
these hundreds occupy minor positions
in the Axis set-up.
Neither should the disclosures of more
extended and horrible atrocities in Ger
many make us forget that we still must
deal summarily with Jap war criminals.
If there be any individuals or groups
in America who still are holding out for
showing any leniency in the terms OF
peace with Germany, the mounting dis
closures of wholesale murders, the de-
liberate starving to death of hundreds of
thousands of prisoners, military and
civil, should end their carpings. There
can and must not be any soft peace.
Whether we are astonished or amazed
that the German people themselves aided
in these atrocities or cOndoned them, the
fact remains that the entire German peo-
pie is guilty a.ong with the beastial lead
ers. All are outside the pales of human
consideration or mercy.
1t now develops that the Germans have
been worse, if possible, than the Japs, but
therein the comparison ends. And we
must not forget for a moment, when the
war ends in Europe, that there is task
in the Pacific which we are under obliga-
tions to the world to carry out to the end.
and the end of that task will no be when
Japan surrenders; it will be when the last
Jap war criminal is brought to full JUS

FRANCE TO STAY CHAMPION
OF DEMOCRACY IN EUROPE
(Riverside Daily Press)

After the war "a revitalzed France
will continue to be the torchbearer of
democracy on the continent of Europe"
and her mission will be that of "stabiliz-
: ing the European situation for genera
tions to come" asserts Foreign Minister
George Bidault, who represents France
at the San Francisco conference.
In a statement which appears in the
April % issue of Saturday Evening Post,
the head of the national resistance move
ment in France told Ernest Hauser that
Europe must not remain continent of
hate. The least we can do is to consider
that the occupation of Germany, in which
France will participate, must be the be-
gining of an educational process aiming
at turning Germany into tolerable
neighbor.
"HCw can this be done?" the writer
asks He points out that of course it is
too soon to foresee what elements we
shall find in Germany who can help us
to rebuild. This rebuilding process after
the crushing victory must be one of the
aims of our long-term policy in Europe.
In this policy, France will be more close
ly and more warmly linked with the
Anglo-Saxon powers than ever before in
her history With the physical and NOR,
important, the moral backing of Britain
and the United States, France can sue
ceed in her mission of stabilizing the
European situation for generations to
come The arrival of Russia as an i'm
mensely powerful influence in Europe
will help us in the fulfillment of our role.
In the article, "De Gaulle's Right
Bower" Hauser relates how Bidault, a
history professor before the war, joined
the resistance movement and became it's
head, with the result he now Stands out
as one of the most important statesmen
in free Europe"

Starving Dutch
Get Food Under
Nazi Agreement

PARIS, May 3. (UP)-The Ger
mans have opened Holland to Allied
food trucks and ships under a mys-
teriously- arranged truce agreed up
on by both sides to provide immed-
late relief for the famine-ridden
Dutch people.
Hundreds of Allied trucks, piled
high with food and relief supplies
began rolling through the Canadian
First Army lines into German-oc-
cupied western Holland Wednesday
when the local truce went into ef-
feet.
The convoy brought in an estim-
ated 1000 tons of food OF be diStrib-
uted by Dutch authorities without
interference from the Germans. Of
ficial spokeSmen said it was hoped
to maintain this tonnage daily by
road, augmented by whatever food
could be dispatched to Holland by
sea and air delivery.
Dispatches from Canadian First
Army headquarters said the First
Allied relief ship is now enroute and
is expected to reach Rotterdam
shortly.
At the same time 25 Allied medical
teams were standing by behind the
Canadian lines, ready to enter Hol-
land Immediately with equipment
for scientific feeding if necessary to
aid those HollanderS in advanced
stages of starvation.
The truce, promising immediate
help for some $4,000 Dutch men.
women and children in imminent
danger of death from starvation was
agreed upon at a hitherto-secret
meeting of high Allied and enemy
officers Monday.
The confereeS, headed by 1t. Gen.
Walter BeGell Smith, Chief of Staff
to Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, and
Arthur Seyss- -Inquart, Nazi Com
missar for Holland met in an un-
named Dutch village to arrange

SUCH A THING AS
GOING TOO FAR

The state senate has passed a bill
which provides that all state offices ex-
c9pt governor and lieutenant governor
be made nonpartsan and that only the
two shall be under party heads on bal
lots
The principle of a non-partiSan bal
lot is recognized in such departments as
the judiciary and schools, but this coun-
try still operates under the two-party
rule and until better balance" can be
found, is proper. Under this system
there is a public cleavage that can and
does operate in the way of recall. Any
system that smackS of life tenure or op-
portunity for some balance to obtain, is
not in keeping with our form of govern
ment
When the legislature refused to repeal
the cross-filing rule pertaining to NOM
mating primaries it left the nonpartisan
system strong enough to meet any needs
or demands, although this plan lacks
complete support of the people as was
evidenced in the vote last fall on the pro-
posal which called for its elimination
This statute should be amended, in the
belief of many requiring croSS-fllln~r
candidate to pick his party when he files
and stay With that choice through the
contest.
There are a few fundamentals in our
form of government that have not been
destroyed or weakened by the tinkering
of so-called liberals, and the two-par+..
system is one of them. Neither nation
nor state should abandon it unless
something far better is worked out and
accepted by the people.
We have added enormously to our pro-
ductive capacity, and, unlike many of
our Allies, our factories have escaped
entirely the destruction of war. But in
peacetime we cannot reach this high
level of production unless we find mar
kets abroad as we'll as at home for our.
investment and our goods and services.

christian Science Monitor)


The senate's amendment to the Select
i've Service Extension Bill requiring at
least six months training for 1S-year-
old soldiers before assignment to combat
reflects the sentiment of a nation that
hates war and, understandably enough,
recoils occasionally from some of its
crueler aspects. 1t also suggests that a
number of senators feel the army has
sometimes figured excessively large mar
gins in it's calls for manpower as we'll as
for munitions and supplies.
If the house should now agree it IS
doubtful whether the army's replacement
problem will be vitality affected, as the
war situation now stands. Few 18-year-
olds with less than six months training
have entered battle. But it is worth
pointing out that the senate's action might
be just the tip, it is true, Of the nose OF
very undesirable camel thrust into the
military tent The American Civil War
offers evidence enough of the damage
that can be done when civilian influences
reach into the realm of the strictly mill

Writer of Beatrice Fairfax
LoveIorn Column Dies Here
Mrs. Marie Gusch
Started Newspaper
Feature in 1898

Mrs. Marie Manning Gasch, 10,
better known as Beatrice Fairfax,
writer of the first advice to the
lovelorn" column to appear in a daily
newspaper, died yesterday of heart
attack at her home, 1853 P street
NV.
She was the wife of Herman E.
Gasch, Washington real estate man,
and also is survived by two sons, who
were with her at the time of her
death. They are Maj. Oliver Gasch,
on leave as an assistant District
corporation counsel, and Manning
Gasch, associated with his father in
the real estate firm of Gasch g.
Gasch.
A member of an old Washington
family, Mrs. Gasch astounded her
friends by starting a newspaper
career so years ago, when well-bred
girls ordinarily did not work. She
began on the old New York Journal
under Arthur Brisbane, who offered
her job after her wit attracted
him at dinner party.
Was All-Around Reporter.
At first the then Miss Manning
covered all types of news stories,
including many murder trials. She
was always Mr.. Brisbane's favorite
murder trial reporter and even after
her marriage in 1905 he used to wire
her to drop housework to cover a
special trial for him.
In 1898 Mr.. Brisbane handed her
a batch of letters asking for advice
on love and marriage and asked her
to answer them. The column was
so successful that 1t was syndicated
in William Randolph Hearst's papers
for many years.
Mrs. Gasch wrote the column under
the name of Beatrice Fairfax be-
cause Dante's character Beatrice"
was one of her favorites and be-
cause she loved Fairfax County, Va.
