A Thought for Today
The Comedies

The Forthcoming trial of the top Naz war criminals s like the offenses of which they stand accused dented in history It is logical then that the legal talent which prepared the United Nations indictment agalsG these infamous 24 should have found need of new word to defne briefly and with legal precision, the appang crimes for which the NaZi leaders are reSponSlole
 The word is genocde and credit for its coinage goes to an American professor Raphael Lemkin Of Duke unl- versity. It is formed from the Greek genos which means race or tribe and the Latin "cidere," to kill.
 Its first appearance in the third count of the noct
 ent which states that the defendants conducted deoer ate and systematic genocide vz the exeImnaton o ra cial and national groups against the civilian popuaonS of certain occupied territories"
 Perhaps genocide may not seem to carry force ap- proprate to the monstrous crimes which 1t descroes TO American and English ears homicide fratficloe reglcoe and similar Latin derivatives sound calm and lmperSona when set beside the strong AngloSaxon or muroer ana slaughter.
 Murder and slaughter are strong words because of as socation as well as sound They the common sudden nstnctive terms for the act of taking e Homicide word that belongs to the police the lawyers and the uog It into after the machneTy or arTeS and trial has begun to operate.
 So it may be that genocde Is the right word for the situation after all The revong deeds of the NaN mass murderers have brought all the leaders except Hter a Borann before the bar of justice The crimes are commit ted and the criminals have been apprehended through ms toys greatest military operation The time for righteous vengeance has arrived. l.. highly unusual There will be spokesmen for the accused but there can be presumption of any innocence me record of their intentions too clear the mute testimony of their millions of victims IS too daTnnng 20 no one doubts that the United Nations court will find the Naz war criminals guilty formally the world has already found them guilty in actuality
 the genocdes-the men guilty of plotting not only the crime of war which the world so long condoned put also the murder and extermnaton Of whole race ol hu beings For crimes such as those no woro yet SPoke or written would have Sufced Now mankind must strive to create world in which the new word genocde need never be used again.

Views Of The Press

Q shape the uses to which we put | ms knowledge must assume Q gi. gantic and fearful responsibility, It must be Q committee Of the Senate's ahlest and wisest men. And 1t must have the leadership of Q man with imagination capable of grasplng the immense significance of the task to be embraced.
 Senator 1rlen McMahon, although relative newcomer to the Senate, has shown such e grasp of prob- lem at hand. He has shown 1t by his sponsorship of the resolution through which the committee on atomic leg lslation is to be created. And he has shown 1t by the progressive positions he has taken on questions of in- ternational relations. By every right and by the traditions of the Sen- ate itself-Senator McMahon should be named chairman of the commit- tee.. Tn every instance, the past l7 special committees created by the Senate have been chaired by their sponsors, But Senator McMahon's appointment to that vital post ap- pears to be threatened by a coalition of some of the Southern members of his own party-who seek. as they have so many times before, to retain power in their own hands. They are supporting the spacious contention that appointment to the chairman ship should be on Q basis of senior- ity.
 The appointment to this particular chairmanship-if to no other should be on basis of merit and cF understanding Of the Issues to be determined. The issues are far toe .....0s.ant to De subjected to party poiiticking. The very consideration of the outworn doctrine of seniority as e basis for disposing of this vital chalrmanship Is Q confession Of the bankruptcy with which some nnenl- bers of the Senate approach the problem. Leadership Of the commit- tee should 90 to the man who con ceiyed 1t and brought 1t Into being.

industries in the West needed steel So the govern- ment stepped up production in the II Western states by about is0 per cent The Geneva plant which rep. resents approximately one-sixth of the total wartime government expenditure in iron and steel facilities, was the most important part of that expansion pro- gram.
 But then came the end of the war. Everybody expected there would be rush to buy or lease the plant There were no takers. Henry Kaiser made an offer which the government promptly turned down.

THE VICTORY LOAN
(The Catholic transcript

Tn a race the ability to make Q final all-out spurt often spells the difference between victory and de- feat. The best runner, especially in long distance contest, Is he who has something left ct the end, who Is able to crown his relatively long period of gruelling endurance with that short but all-important drive which makes his performance fin- iShed and admirable.
 So 1t is with the coming Victory Loan. The War Loans are at an end, and with them the patient and sometimes apparently intermin- able carrying on of the greatest financing program in history. The average American citizen, during the oppressive period of actual war, in Connecticut records were set that neither grumbled nor shirked. Here are truly astounding. Her million and o half inhabitants, corporately and individually, subscribed to the astounding total rs S4.222, ,4i0,000 in War Bonds and securities. 1ndivid- uals bought eighteen million bonds with an issue value of $i ,000 900, 900. Buying, even of government bonds, in such amounts would, Q few years ago, have appeared incredible. It was done, nevertheless, by Q public that accepted responsibility and shouldered It's weight magnificently
 But now, with the end of the War Loans, comes the most important part of the immense financing pro- gram. Will the people of the United States, of Connecticut, round out and complete the program in Q manner worthy of themselves and of the great country to which they profess allegiance? We believe that they will. It is not in their nature to leave the track on the last lap, tc fall out of the race when the result is the full realization of victory and all that victory means. The Vic. tory Loan, assuring the fruits oi the long struggle, aiding in the transformation from war to e stable and prosperous peace, will enlist just as enthusiastic support as the | War Loans which preceded 1t ano will conclude just as triumphantly as they did.

 The back-stage battle of the scientists over the atom bomb still rages The scientists who worked on the bomb have pleaded with Maj-0en Leslie Groves and Dr vannevar Bush to revise the May-Johnson B for control of atomic energy, but without success

 tor want to meet labor half-way," the auto chief asserted pointing out that the United Auto Workers union has demanded 30 per cent pay hike He said he couldn't go the whole distance in accepting union demands but was ready to accept a fair compromise and would play ball with the union leaders as far as he could.
 Finally, while making no definite commitment, he strongly indicated to Schwellenbach that If compromise settlement could be reached between the IS and 30 per cent wage increase his company would automobiles.
 In this connection young Ford said he realized clearly his companys responsibility in holding down further nfationary price trends and, he added ne was ready to play ball on this as well as wage in- creases.
 Henry II told the Labor Secretary that one of his biggest problems labor shut-downs in ieeoer plants such as the Kelsey Hayes plant, wnicn sup- plies the Ford Company with most of its wheels
 He said that if his company was to continue op- erations so as to provide jobs and decent wages TOT union employees, the JAW would have to see to It that production kept going in these parts plants

Steel Plant For Sale
By Peter Edson

of ali white elephants, the Surplus Property Board made an investigation Here are some of the things which were uncovered:
 There is skepticlsm as to how long the ore will last in the West.
 Operating experience in the plant failed to prove that Utah coal could be coked economically in the Geneva blast furnaces.
 There is not enough confidence in the develop rnent of sufficient, markets in the West to justify the risk of taking over the plant.
 There is uncertainty about commercial freight rates to principal coastal consuming points which are competitive with the cost of water transportation from eastern seaboard plants.
 Last of all possible purchasers were worried that they might pay too much for 1t and lose theS shirts in peacetime competition.
 After making the study, the Surplus Property Board decided further investigation was necessary, Now experts are trying to find out just what the chances are of company taking over the plant and markets will be, exactly how freight rates come into the picture and whether the ore will hold up.
 A biz decision, however, has been made. The sPE has stated that unreasonable capital costs will not be permitted to be a barrier to the disposal of Ge. neva" This means they plan to sell 1t no matter how much they have to cut the price This what onserv- think the steel companies have been waiting for The price will be set when the present studies are completed. N
 Rep. J. W. Robinson (D, Utah) has been follow ing the progress of sPBs handling of the matter very closely He is confident 1t will be snapped tip by one of the big steel companies He explains that within month restriction which put certain strings the deal for prospective purchasers will be that SPB was late in making its first study and report automatically off, according to the lew. fN
 Robinsons only criticism of the whole affair is on the plant He also sees Geneva the key to the future industrial progress of the West.
