Trumon's U. N. Speech
Loys Down Porty Line
Brighter Election Prospects Hit,
However, by Goblin Lewis
Bv Doris FIees0n

President Trumans display OF optl-
mism before the United Nations and
the nonchalant front he turned to the
press Thursday represent carefully
calculated Democratic prediction party
line
The President frightened his U. N.
speech following appeals from candi-
dates and their managers all over the
country for more sweetness and light
and less defeatism from Washington.
The reaction to decontrol, they told
National Chairman Hannegan, was un-
expectedly good. Some districts re-
ported curve upward in their pros
poets. Keep it cheerful, they urged.
AS a result Mr.. Truman altered his
prepared text to give 1t distinctly
roster hue than Secretary of State
Byrnes' recent pronouncements. At his
press conference his shoulders were
back, his manner clipper and his smile
wouldn't come off, In their turn the
reporters who like him and have no
real taste for cornering him did not
press any embarrassing questions.
Lull Seen Momentary.
But the lull is momentary. The whole
town knows, if the country has not yet
realized it, that the goblin, John L.
Lewis, will get the Democrats If they
don't watch out-maybe if they do.
A series of huddles similar to the
feverish decoptrol conferences have been
begun on the way to meet Mr.. Lewis
demand to reopen his coal contract
November -four days before election
under threat of strike. Mr. Hannegan
has taken the lead in insisting that
counteroffensive by the whole admins
tration against Mr. Lewis personally
must be undertaken or he cannot an
swer for the consequences at the polls.
The Hannegan brain trusters begin
with the premise that the Lewis mo-
tives are entirely political and support
it with his long hate-Roosevelt record.
| They admit he outsmarted Interior
Secretary Krug who is coal mines ad-
ministrator, by picking quarrels and
suddenly cracking down before elec-
| ton. Mr.. Krug. they think, should have
been wary, but that's water over the
| dam.
| As political reslists they concede Mr..
Lewis has got them. If Mr.. Krug backs
down, returns from the coast and nego-
tiates. the country will assume Mr..
Lewis will get his way and resent it.
If Mr.. Krug stays tough, the miners
will put down tools election eve which
| is the eve of winter in a cold world
| and the voters who will shiver and
foot the bill won't like that either.
How to Be Ruthless.
Hence Mr.. Hannegan's argument that
the battle must be carried to Mr. Lewis
so that public discomfort will focus upon
him. They know they can expect Mr.
Lewis to be ruthless. They want to be
ruthless, too Their problem is how.
A start apparently had been made
when John Rogge charged that Mr.
Lewis accepted aid from the Nazis
through Gilman William Rhodes Davis
in his efforts to defeat Mr.. Roosevelt,
but Attorney General Clark's prompt
dismissal of Mr.. Rogge disassociates
the administration from the Rogge
attack. "a! r,s-5.
The Lewis crisis is one the administra-
ton is really trying to meet before it
happens. but It's heavy going.

Breisuch, 1474

Georg Schwarzenberger reader
in international law at the Uni
versity of London, has discovered a
precedent of a sort for the Nuern-
burg trials which, if only because 1t
is German, is important in relation
not only to the proceedings which
have been concluded but likewise as
regards those which have not yet
begun. Writing in the Manchester
Guardian, he says: "The trial of Sir
Peter of Hagenlach in 1474 appears
to be the first international war
crime trial"
The wicked knight referred to was
one of the minor dictators OF the
fifteenth century. Born about 1920
and belonging to noble family OF
the Sundgau, he served Duke John
of Cleves for while and then joined
the court of Charles the Bold, the
ambitious and belligerent Duke Of
Burgundy whose operations kept
Western Europe in turmoil for the
best part of a generation until they
were terminated at Nancy in 1477.
Charles made Sir Peter governor of
the territories mortgaged to him by
Sigismund of Austria. The new
administrator soon demonstrated
prodigious power to make enemies.
His rule was cruel and harsh in the
extreme. Systematically, he violated
the pledge of his master that the
liberties of the ancient cities would
be respected. Mr.. Schwarzenberger
explains: "He established regime
of arbitrariness and terror that went
beyond anything that was customary
even in those rather rough times"
The outrages committed by him and
by his followers contributed to bring
about what until then had been
regarded as impossible-the alliance
against Burgundy of all her neigh
bors." Austria, France, the Swiss
leagues and towns, and the nobility
and the municipalities of the Upper
Rhine were represented in the move
ment. Charles gave his agent little
help in the ensuing struggle Sir
Peter was captured at Breisach in
Baden and tried there.
Henry Iselin of Basle acted as
public prosecutor. He accused the
prisoner of having 'trampled under
foot the laws of God and men," The
tribunal which heard the indictment
and Sir Peters defense included six
teen members of the order of
knighthood and judges delegated by
the allied cities, land their participa-
ton gave an international character
to the bench" Sir Peter argued that
his only superior was the Duke of
Burgundy and that his orders came
Evening star., 1946-10-26

from an authority which he could
not question. The Judges rejected
that contention, reafflrmed their
own legitimate jurisdiction, found
Hagenbach guilty and ordered him
executed. He was beheaded after
having been deprived Of his symbols
of chivalry by representative OF
the Emperor,

Letters to The Star
Disa1rees With Justice Jackson
On "New" Nuremberg Law

On "New" Nuremberg Law
To the Editor Of The Star:
Many people with whom ! have talked.
while agreeing that something had to
be done to punish the German leaders,
depIored the Nuremberg trials because
the defeated were tried by the con-
querors and the punishment was based
on ex post facto law, and ex post facto
law has been considered unthinkable
for generations In the United States.
For that reason, Senator Taft con-
sidered the trials disgrace to this
country. An editorial in the Army and
Navy journal October 22) states that,
rs result Of the trials, there will be
an armament race because the loser in
war certainly will have at least all its
top men executed. The editorial points
out that the British, Russians and
French let the American Army take the
full responsibility for the trials.
Personally, cannot understand how
Justice Jackson (who could bicker with
Justice Black because the latter heard
a case in which a former law partner
was interested-Justice Black, inciden-
tally, had precedents therefor-and
who. at the time new Supreme Court
Justice was under consideration, could
bring his quarrel to the papers over
this relatively insignificant matter of
legal ethics SO easily could find his
new" law, when this new" law in
effect merely reverses one Of our corner
stones of liberty-that no one shall be
punished by law not in existence at
the time the acts were committed.
Although it has not been done among
civilized, law-abiding people for genera
tions, there is nothing new about execut-
ing the leaders of a defeated nation.
The barbarians always did it. At the
end Of the Civil War, 1t would appear
that the North had greater legal right
to execute Jefferson Davis and Gen. Lee
as traitors than we had to execute the
Nazi gang under this new" law.

Thanks From USES Director

Thanks From USES Director
To the Editor of The Star:
The United States Employment Serv-
ice of the District of Columbia wishes
to express to The Star real apprecia-
ton of the unstinted coverage, editorial
support and public spirited attitude
given by this newspaper in connection
with the community observance of Ma
tional Employ the Physically Handi-
capped Week.
We believe this medium of telling the
National Capital community that ac-
cent should be placed on the ability
rather than the disability of the physi-
cally handicapped job seeker was largely
responsible for the effectiveness of the
1916 observance. And effective it was,
as evidenced by the many employers
who specified on their job orders listed
during that week: Handicapped pre-
ferred, veteran If possible"
At this time we are minded to hope
that the good offices of The Star will
continue to be directed during the re-
naming weeks of the year towards en-
Tightening it's readers about the low
absentee rate, the relatively smaller
turnover and the fewer safety risks in
cident to physically handicapped work.

Advocates Trading American
To the Editor Of The Star:
The cartoon appearing in The Star
on october 10 / think was very timely
and appropriate.
As Federal control of commodities Is
being lifted and, it is hoped, con-
sumers can have some choice as to where
they will trade, I think it is the duty
of every good American to patronize
only good Americans who were content
with a reasonable profit on what they
had to sell while everything was scarce.

Watching Buzzard Watching

Watching Buzzard Watching
To the Editor OF The Star:
At various times during the past few
weeks a bird somewhat resembling a
buzzard has been seen on the head Of
the statue atop the Capitol dome. The
writer has been informed that this stat
ue represents Armed Liberty.
Perhaps you or some of your staff
can tell me whether this bird, or buzz
zard, is speculating on the demise Of
liberty on or under the dome of the
Capitol?
Or is the buzzard waiting for fall
tering OPA?
One other possibility; Perhaps it ex-
poets the best of the Democratic ad-
ministration-from a buzzards point of
view. JEREMIAH SNOOP.

Hotel Strike and Phones

Hotel Strike and Phones
To the Editor of The Star:
Recently I had occasion to telephone
q washington, D. c., hotel, the employees
of which are en- strike, and, upon being
informed by the Washington operator
that she could not ring the hotel, I
pressed her for further information and
was advised that she could not put the
call through as such action would cross
the picket line
My call might have been q matter
of life or death, although fortunately
it was not; had 1t been, am quite sure
it would have made no difference. but
the incident merely shows to what ex-
tent the unions are running the country.
The insufferable insolence OF a union
member to tell me, one OF the many
thousands of citizens who make her
employment possible, that I cannot tel
ephone a certain hotel merely because
a dispute exists between the manage
ment and employees, is beyond my limited
vocabulary further to describe without
the use of profanity.
Are we men or are we mice and how
much longer are the American people
going to stand for this sort Of thing?

Another Critic of immigration
To the Editor of The Star:
Recently there have been a number
of letters in your Peoples Column rec
ommending elimination of immigration
restrictions, particularly on Greeks.
Chinese, Polanders, Russians and
Germans.
I wish to oppose any further i'm
migration to this country, at least until
we get enough sugar, soap, housing
and autos to take care of our own GIs.
In the meantime, any additional i'm
migration would make the shortages
worse.
Millions of displaced persons refugees,
war brides, orphans and others have
entered this country within the past
ten years either legally, illegally or
under special arrangements and until
we can get this large number COM
pletely absorbed into the American
way of life. with ample housing and
food, our hands will be full without
taking on any more.
