The War Guilt Trials

Twenty Nazi leaders are on trial for their
lives at Nuremberg, and even taking into ac-
count our fumbling and legalistic way of
handling these things, the chances are that
most of them will be executed. 1t is hard to
think that any court of the Allied Nations
would exhonorate these men or leave them
off with limited prison sentences. That is pre-
clsely what happened after the last war; but
we have learned a lot since then. We have not
learned enough, and before long the German
people will probably again be cleverly play-
ing on our international gullibility, and
showing us what fine peaceful citizens They
really are at heart-while all the time their
secret general staff will very likely be plan
ming for the third world war and their cut
lery. and baby-carriage factories will be
shielding the development of new twists on
atomic warfare. But at this state of the game
we are in a more grim and realistic mood
than we were six months after the last war.
And for this reason Goering. the fat done
adict, and most all of the others will prob
ably fall heir to the violent death that they
devised for a good part of the human race,
and succeeded in bringing about for millions
IN the murder camps, captured cities, and on
the battle field.
The mathematics element in our
sense OF justice is pretty one-sided. con-
sidering that for the enormous German
conspiracy against the world we are try

the United States has not lost twenty of
its men in this war; and some of course
have lost hundreds. or even thousands.
The Gestapo secret police should be in
dicted as a class, and so should the Nazi
party members from ward-heelers on up.
These men knew what they were doing.
They were planning the conquest of HUI
manitY. followed by German e~nslave-
ment of what workers they needed. and
the determination of the rest. If any one
doubts this after the multitudinous
proofs of the past five years. he is a man
slow to learn.

Twenty big Nails are not enough. And
yet, 1t is better than no justice and no VEN
geance at all. 1t does give some satisfaction
to think of Quisling, Laval, Mussolini and a
few others lying in traitors graves. But the
graves of the innocent in Europe would reach
from Moscow to Dunkirk if dug in a single
line. And it is hard to think of the conspira-
tors and murders, numbering hundreds of
thousands in the German nation, who are
going to finish out their natural lives walk
ing Gods earth in the sunshine.

This Is Our Greatest Need

The Pascagoula City Schools have gotten
out a little fact sheet about the state of pub
lie education in the town, the county and
the state, and some of the bare, statistical
facts are cause for amazement and uneasi-
ness. Let us quote just one or two here:
The City of P~ascagoula pays its po-
liuemen. laborers and garbage collectors
much more than the school system is
able to pay its teachers who have a
masters degree and at least ten years ex-
perience."
The people of P~ascagoula spent more
last year for tobacco than for the edu-
cation of their children"
We believe that there is dignity in all USE
full work and certainly a policeman, a lab
orer, or the man who handles the vital COM
munity service of waste disposal, is engaged
in useful work. II is not that they get more
which concerns us but that the teachers get
so little.
What kind of future are we really build
ing for ourselves, our institutions, our chill
dren, when we spent less for their educa-
ton than we do for a trifling habit like
tobacco? the answer lies in the inconsist-
ency and short-sightedness of human nature.
When we want a smoke, we want it, and
1t is for ourselves and our own enjoyment, so
we buy a package of cigarettes without a
thought. But If some group of school teach
ers or some sociologiSt comes to us with facts
about the deplorable state of public educa-
ton, and asks us to support a legislative pro-
gram for increased funds, and points out that
the tax burden 1t imposes will really not be
much more expensive than our cigarettes
When this happens the majority of us bolt
and begin to talk about the necessity for
economy in government, and talk ourselves
into the proposition that teachers get as
much as they are worth, and that the children
are getting as much education as is good for
them. All of which is short-sighted, mac
%curate, an evasion of duty, and a drag upon
real progress, and the most thoroughly UNI
economic fallacy of which a citizen can be
guilty.
Ignorance bseeds poverty. Poverty
breeds crime. Ignorance breeds deprav-
lily. and depravity breeds disease. drunk
enness and misery. even unto the third
generation. Ignorance fills our jails.
asYlums. hospitals. honky-tonks and
street corners. And when II does not 90
this far. 1t at least keeps families in toll
some unproductive poverty from genera
ton to generation. Our inefficient schools
systems have cost US more actual money
for the correction of crime and the treat
ment of disease than our wars have prob
ably cost us ;and when one figures what
our people might be producing and en-
joying as compared to what we are able
to produce. the cost Is stupendous.
We said last week that it is a sourue of
pride to watch our children walking down
the streets of Pascagoula to a system of
schools as fine as exists in Mississippi. And
this is true. But conidering that even in
Pascagoula we pay our laborers more than
the teachers of our children, and more for
our cigarettes than for this all-important hui
man investment, the picture is a dreary

They no longer rate as must print" copy. Personally, deplore this fact, for I believe that stars should be hypoed by every means possible into continuing their war work. But one discovery should re- suit from the curtailment of publi- city. We're going to find out, once and for all, which celebrities have been inspired by patriotism, and which have been interested in self advertising.
 In the 'good old days" studio bosses forbade any mention of their stars marriages and the figures on their paycheckS. They believed fans would lose interest in a star known to be married, and that they would resent the huge salaries paid, even then, by Hollywood. The first taboo was completely exploded years ago, The second shouldn't offer cause for worry in view of the public's re- action to the current salary squab- ble between Alan Ladd and Para mount. Since Ladd walked out be- cause the studio refused to fatten his already obese paycheck, thou sands of letters have poured in from his fans. They are unanimous in urging Paramount to give Alan any, thing he wants in order to keep him on the screen.
 Some years ago, William Powell started @ unique collection - nb- rary containing nothing but "The Dullest books in the world" Being the kind of man who can enjoy Q gag to the bitter end, he acquired scores of volumes. Then, as colum- niSts began to comment on his strange hobbies, fans started send- ing in their nominations. The other day asked Powell about his col- lection and he shook his head mournfully. T have so many books in that library now" he admitted, that they've become @ nuisance. I'm thinking of giving them all to the Library of Congress" Now that is generous of Powell, but think he's passing up a good financial bet If his volumes are as dull as he claims them to be, he should sell them to studios-to be made into Glass B movies.

STRAND

John Dillinger found bank rob- bery and murder so easy. he once boasted that no bank building was strong enough to keep him out, and no jail was guarded closely enough to hold him in. But he started his crime career with cheap hold up that only netted him $7.20-the exact amount he had in his pocket when federal agents shot him down in a Chicago alley.
 The shocking story of the sen- sational rise and fall of the gang ster who, for IA months, conducted reign of terror in the Middle West, can now be seen in "Dillin- ger," Monogram production intro- ducing Lawrence Tierney in the title role, on the screen at the Strand theater.
 For his crime debut, Dilllnger held Up a grocer in Mooresville, Ind His victim was a friend of his father, but that did not stop him from striking him down with a lead pipe. The petty theft cost him nine years, and was the only crime of which he was ever con- victed.
 Before he was trapped, he and his gang had actually made every bank in the Middle West unsafe They hit a bank in Mason City foi over $25 1000; in Sioux Falls, 1t was $46, 1000. Tn South Bend the gang got $28, ,000 and in Indianapolis they made away with $2l ,000. The mol swooped through the central states killing and robbing banks in Illi- nois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
 No one will ever know how much money Dillinger actually amassed during his crime career, but wher he was finally brought to justice he had the same paltry sum in his pocket that he had when he started.

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 1s = On a studio set yesterday, the lads and lassies were feeling sorry for that c. I. who, on being rescued from a Jap prison camp, discovered that his wife, believing him dead, had married his uncle. I feel sorry for him, too, but no more so than do for the dozens of men in uniform whose Hollywood brides have di- vorced them while they were over- seas.
 The majority of the husbands dis carded by our local glamour girls were realistic enough to recognize the folly of attempting to fight their wives divorce actions, or even to postpone them until after the war. They signed the necessary waivers and let their marriages be dissolved, but I can imagine what thoughts must have passed through their minds.
 In view of the fact that they were on active duty and therefore forced to be away from home, they must have recognized the real reason for their divorces - the plain and ap- parent fact that the little women who had promised loyalty and deyo- ton were SO intoxicated by their own quest for pleasure that they lacked the fortitude to wait for their husbands return.
 A. Iaa ek kaA T r Vxp1aasa SAit0kak h q excited so much sympathy had the consolation of knowing that there were mitigating circumstances in his case. His wife didn't marry an- other man until long after she had received official word from the gov- ernment that the husband for whom she had vowed to wait was dead.
 In this mornings mail are publi- city stories announcing (I that Margo is writing an autobiography entitled I Double In Bras" and (2) that Julie Hayden has finished a book called Letters To My Dog" By actual count those two weighty tonnes bring to FIFTEEN the num- Der of books credited to screen stars within the past two weeks. If it weren't for one consoling thought I'd shroud my typewriter and retire for whats the use of trying to write columns about people who all write books about themselves. The con- soling thought is this: Not less than a hundred such books have been announced" in the last year, but l know of only two that actually found their way to press.
 Speaking of publicity. no press re- lease was 50 sure to be printed, dur ing the war, as an announcement that star was undertaking a tour to entertain troops.

 If clothes make the woman, every sign points to the fact that Peggy Ann Garner is at least growing up. The talented youngster who scored such sensational screen successes and won her film triumphs for the most part, in ragged hand-me- downs is now all dressed up.
