SPOKANE, Dec. l9-Eric A. John Ston, president of the Motion Pic ture Association of America, said last night that increased racial tol- erance in the western democracies could rob Communism of millions of prospective converts.

BRUINS GET
 READY FOR
 BOWL GAME

LOS ANGELES, Dec. l9.-Just as they had to be all season the all- victorious UCLA, Bruins are pre- pairing to be even better against H. linois Jan. in the Rose Bowl.
 Making no bones about being riffed over not being ranked high CT than fourth nationally after 10 straight wins, the Bruins have dis played tremendous zip and sock in practice drills this week after fortnight's layoff.
 Tn fact, coach Bert La Brucherie, after watching his regulars rock through a full hour of offensive scrimmage yesterday, decided to start tapering off workouts, for fear his boys might leave their best game on the practice field.
 An indication of the way the Bruins have been preparing for their New Years date: four men have been knocked unconscious this week and all-coast center Don Paul suffered a leg twist which may keep him out several days.
 In yesterdays test against Illinois defense formations, right half Cal Rossi, out most of the late season with a broken ankle, showed all his old time form, breaking away for repeated long gains against second and third stringers Stimulating the orange and blue.

Only utilities, essential public

Travel agencies over the state re-

With Gifts

WEBSTER CITY, Ia, Dec. "a
R-The six children Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Hamilton played
joyously Tuesday night with dolls,
toy guns, tractors and automobiles
on the floor Of the county jail
The toys were among gifts sent
by sympathetic Midwesterners who
learned that the Hamilton family
had been living in jail since mid-No-
vember when they were evlcteo
from their farm tenant home.
One Hamilton county farmer
drove 10 miles, bringing the Hamil-
ton family a dozen eggs and can
of fruit: a Gorwith, a, farmer
sent a box Of apples, candy and
nuts plus a Christmas gift for each
member of the family; two West
ern Union employees wired S. from
Kansas City and other unidentified
persons sent toys.
The children, ranging in age from
10 years to one. have decorated
a withered branch with ribbon and
several used photo flash bulbs to
give the Jail a bit Of Christmas
atmosphere and Mrs. Hamilton Is
planning to have pumpkin pie for
the holiday dinner tomorrow.
Hamilton now is working for the
Webster City street department
but has been unable to find a

was not involved. 1t failed because Col
Mcdowell was instructed to demand
"unconditional' surrender.
But why should Col. Mcdowell have
to defend himself and the policy of
the War Department through a private
committee? Why does not the War
Department come out with the story in
press conference? Why the suggestion
that they do not know the whereabouts
Of Col Mcdowell?
If the War and State Departments
wished to give the appearance OF guilt
they could hardly act in q more COM
promising manner. They are guilty, at
that. What they are going to find hard
to defend is the policy of allowing
Marshal Tito to make himself, with
our aid, the totalitarian master of
Yugoslavia. Apparently, since they can
not defend that, the less said the
better. But much will be said in Bel
grade that will require answering from
more authoritative sources than the
Committee for a Fair Trial for Mihailo-
vich.
How about our policy in the Argen-
tine? What has happened to the
democrats whom we encouraged and
supported?
How about our German friends? Why
is the true story Of the German under
ground and our relations with it, kept
quiet? On Tuesday, for the first time,
Berlin dispatch published the names
Of those Germans hanged in connection
with the July 20 putsch and the events
preceding it. Even the names are not
correct. The reporter does not know
the first name of Col. Won Linstrow-
although his widow Is living in the
American zone not 10 minutes walk
from the military government headquar-
tiers. 1t lists Theodor Haubach as .
businessman although Haubach was
a famous trade union leader and dele
gate to the International Labor Once in
Geneva
The horrid truth Is that the people
OF the world are learning that it does
not pay to be friends and supporters
of the western democracies. How about
the Poles? How about the democratic
Romanians? How about the Austrians?
II any one thinks this does not matter
in the long run, let him think again.
And let the War Department wonder
how many men Of first-rate character
will want to undertake dangerous mis-
sions and serious responsibilities only to

Nebraska and Stussen

1t would be mistake to attach
exceptional importance to Nebras-
kas Republican primary election
either as a barometer of Midwestern
thinking on world affairs or as
measure of Harold E. Stassens po-
litical potentialities.
OF course, since Senator Butler
won so easily over Governor Girls
void, who was Mr.. Stassens man,
Mr.. Stassen's stock has naturally
gone down. But it would be pre-
mature to conclude from this that
he now stands little or no chance
of winning his party's presidential
nomination in 1913. Similarly, al
though Senator Butler has been re-
soundingly renominated on a nearly
100 per cent nti-internationalis
record, there is no good reason to
suppose that this reflects signifi-
cant change of mood in that part of
the country.
Actually, the projected loan to
Britain-opposed by Mr.. Butler and
favored by Mr.. Griswold-was the
only outstanding foreign issue raised
in Nebraska, where there is a strong
streak of anti-British sentiment,
particularly among the populous
group Of voters of German extrac-
ton. Moreover, the electorate there
has been marked off as isola ZIONIST
ever since the elections of 1910, so
that even if international questions
had figured largely in the campaign,
Mr.. Buffers victory would have to
be regarded merely as sign that
Republican Nebraskans still feel
pretty much as they did six years
ago.
Apparently, however, according to
expert observers, the Nebraska voters
were thinking more of affairs here
at home than of events abroad and
expressed their dissatisfaction with
the way things have been going
by rejecting the Griswold- Stassen
brand of liberalism in favor of the
relatively conservative view
point. If this is an accurate analysis
1t should be of interest alike to the
Truman administration and the So
called "standpat" and progressive"
wings of the Republican party. At
any rate it tends to support the idea
that old-line Republicanism - as
against anything even remotely re-
sembling the New Deal-has made q
strong comeback In the Midwest.
Nevertheless, even though he cam
paigned actively for Mr.. Griswold
and has thus suffered a setback in
Mr.. Griswold's defeat, Mr.. Stassen
cannot yet be written off as a man
likely to go places in the Republican
party. His big test will come next
month in the Minnesota primary
when his candidate, Governor Thye,
will seek to unseat the isolationist
Senator Shipstead.

courts was Justice Rutledge's four years
in the Circuit Court of Appeals.
Certainly this record shows that the
man making these appointments was
not seeking to further the tradition
of career on the bench. It certainly
does not show respect for experience in
private practice. Four Of the seven
records show no exclusive private prac-
tice; of the total of 81 years, SO were
contributed by Black with IA, Reed with
10 and Jackson with 81.
Look at the list of Roosevelt ap-
pointees and consider what reasons
contributed to their selection. The an
swer is theology and service to New
Deal activities and purposes.
But New Dealer might interpose
here: Is not the Supreme Court sup
posed to reflect the times? The answer
is in the affirmative, If we consider
times in connection with the prob
able length Of service Of these men. But
il times" means the 10 short years
before 1913, when the last of these ap-
pointments was made, the answer Is
no" Adherence to and participation
in the assorted ideas, policies and ad-
ministration known as the prewar New
Deal is no test Of being in tune with
the present. Such movements are tenn
porary. A new deal today may be an
old deal tomorrow. But deep adher-
ence to the great amenities of public
life, belief in evolutionary progress
which reaches beyond immediate pro-
grams, a sense of sacred responsibility
for that constitutional liberty which
underlies everything we have-these
are some of the permanent traits Of
the true judicial mind. A good Judge
must respect convention, a great but
much-abused term. Civil society is the
offspring of convention, says Burke,
who adds, that convention must be
its law"
The suggestion that law must be
passed to impose ethical standards upon
the members of the Supreme Court is
not only a tragic indictment of the
present, but a tribute to the lustrous
past. For q century and a half, no
such law was passed. Convention and
personal responsibility were enough.
That we must impose law upon this
handful Of men who should be above all
law but their own conscience is enough
to make an American bow his head.

On the Record
By Dorothy Thompson

As this column predicted, the trial
of Draja Mihailovich is being staged
as q gigantic smear of Great Britain
and the United States, timed in antici-
patton of the Paris Conference. An
attempt is made to show that British
and American officers in Yugoslavia
were more anxious to liquidate the
Partisans than defeat the Germans,
using Mihailovich for this purpose.
In this connection, not only Gen. Mi
hailovich but Col. Robert H. Mcdowell,
chief OF the United States military mis-
Neither Col Mcdowell nor Capt. Wal

ner insulting to American honor. and
we swallow it, 1t serves us right.
The truth is just the opposite of what
we are accused, namely, that Britain
and subsequently the United States, let
down Mihailovich and the govern
ment he represented deprived him of
arms and ammunition; gave these, in
stead, to his bitterest opponent who
entered the fight only after the Soviet
government had been attacked, and
who used our aid to make coup d'etat
to establish himself in supreme power
against the wishes of an overwhelming
majority Of the Yugoslav population.
This column Is accused Of being anti
Russian, but in one respect we wish
our country would emulate the Rus
slams and stick to our friends and full
I'LL our promises. Governments are not
individual persons and the morality Of
decent states is seldom as high as the
morality of decent individuals. But
when country gets reputation for
treachery to its friends. by and by, like
individual persons who do the same, it
ceases to have friends.
At present, the War and State De-
partments are not standing up for
Mihailovich, nor are they backing
Mcdowell. The War Department has
permitted Col. Mcdowell to issue
statement dealing with his meeting
with Germans, for which Belgrade &C
cuses him land Mihailovich) OF col

Fair Trial for Gen. Mihailovich. Col.
Mcdowell states that the meeting in

purpose Of offering surrender to the
Americans and British. Mihailovich
