Orders and Tragedy

The shocking red tape, misunder-
standing, poor judgment or what
ever it was that permitted dying
Federal employe to lie in the rain
for half an hour last Sunday night
following an automobile accident at
Arlington Farms requires thorough
investigation and adoption of prompt
remedial measures to prevent a
recurrence of such an incident.
Struck by an automobile as she ran
to catch a bus, Miss Genelle Huston,
twenty two-year-ol War Shipping
Administration clerk, lay unconscious
in a military roadway while frantic
calls for help to military and civil
authorities went unheeded. BY
ISLANDERS finally removed her to
Emergency Hospital in a station
wagon.
Although the road is under juris-
diction of the Army and is patrolled
by military police, Fort Myer refused
to send an ambulance because, a
soldier explained, the girl was a
civilian. Phone calls to Washington,
Arlington and Alexandria brought
the common excuse: mo jurisdic-
tion." All of this went on while a
human being lay dying on Gov
ernment highway in driving
rainstorm.
Superiors of the Fort Myer soldier
conceded that he used poor judg-
ment in declining to send an Army
ambulance to the scene, but added
that he lacked full details of the
seriousness of the accident. Even
if he had been impressed with the
life-or- death nature of the call,
however, the officials admit that
he was under orders to use the
ambulance only for military per-
sonnet He would have been only
carrying out to the letter the orders
given him by his superiors if he had
remained deaf to the pleas for aid,
however detailed and urgent. Sol
diers ordinarily are not permitted
to exercise discretion in carrying
out orders. Military authorities say
they have amended the orders so as

however. it Is worth remembering
that other nations have every reason
to engage in similar activities. and
undoubtedly will. The danger i'm
pllcit in this is clear: Unless there
is an unsparing international effort
to establish lasting peace, civiliza-
tion will move willy-nilly, and liter
ally, toward suicide in the grimmest
and deadliest ornaments race in
history. A platitude? Yes, but if it
is not taken to heart everywhere
and never forgotten, our human
society can have no future but a
future universally freighted with a
sense of doom.

mighty Roman Empire when he de-
clared: This is the victory that
overcometh the world, even our
faith" Men live by faith. The whole
economic world is operated on faith.
Why should we not permit faith to
operate in the spiritual world?
However, our best approach to God
is through Christ. His knowledge
and conception of God were perfectly
clear. His vision, His assurance, and
the life that He lived, are our best
revelation. He lived in such close
harmony with God that He could
say: "The Father and I are one"
He revealed God as the loving Father
of all men. Here we have a his
torical person, whose teachings and
character we can understand. His
hearers testified that He taught with
authority. He taught that God is
love and demonstrated by His life
and death the full meaning of love.
He said: He that hath seen me, hath
seen the Father" If we will but
find Christ, our search is ended, for
He Is true portrait of God.
Many people believe in God as
pictured in the New Testament. Not
only do they believe, but they worship
Him; they place their trust in Him
and many have died for their belief.
We must believe their testimony.
How may we find God? In answer
to this great question, we must begin
with the assumption that God is We
follow history in other realms, why
not in that which is spiritual? Isaac
Watts has declared in his great hymn
of faith:
Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame
From everlasting Thou art God.
To endless years the same"
Above all else, the best approach
to God is found in the teachings of
Christ. He gives us the perfect
revelation of God 1t has stood the
test of the centuries. He answers
the great questions that try the souls
OF men today. Find God through
Christ. and you have the highest.

An Incident-but Minor

On the basis of the facts which
have been made public it requires
considerable stretching of the
imagination to make a bona fide
diplomatic incident out of the
"Hooliganism" charge which the
Russians have brought against
clerk in the American Embassy at
Moscow
The clerk, according to the Soviet
police, committed "insolent acts"
against Russian actress in an au-
tomobile. They want to try him for
"Hooliganism,' which term presum-
ably could cover a variety of acts.
The American authorities, who seem
to think that the clerk is the victim
OF frameup, are siding with him.
At the moment everybody is stand
ing f1rm-the Americans refusing to
surrender the clerk and insisting
that he be permitted to leave Russia.
the Russians refusing to let him 60
and demanding that he be brought
to trial.
II these are all the facts it is
difficult to see why the trial should
not be held. If the Russians have
no case against the clerk, that can
be shown at public hearing at
tended by representatives of the
American Embassy. If they have a
case, why should our officials seek
to forestall trial by claiming
diplomatic immunity for the clerk?
If the situation were reversed, and
if some clerk at the Soviet Embassy
here were accused of molesting an
American girl, it is hardly likely
that our people would look with
favor on an effort by the Russians
to claim immunity from trial for the
offender. And in the known cir
cumstances of the present case the
attitude of our State Department
must seem equally Objectionable to
the Russian people.
1t is difficult enough to get along
with the Russians under the most
favorable circumstances, and there
is an abundance of differences con-
corning which there is substantial
basis for friction. But if this "Hooli-
gan" episode is diplomatic Incl
dent" it seems at best to be a very
minor and very trivial one.

Five-Duy Reprieve

10 Nation which had become
more or less resigned to the calamity
OF a railroad strike, word of the five
day postponement of the walkout
comes as good news. 1t cannot be
emphasized too strongly, however,
that this concession is a reprieve
from disaster, and that alone. 1t
settles nothing
AS matters stand, the American
people begin this week with two
grave threats hanging over their
heads. One is the termination of
the railroad reprieve on Thursday.
And the other is the expiration of
the coal strike truce on Saturday.
Failure in the interim to settle either
or both OF these disputes will imme-
diately revive the prospect, if not the
certainty, of economic collapse in
this Self-styled most powerful coun-
try in the world.
1t has become repetitious to saw
that the American people ought not
to be subjected to this continuous
harassment. They ought not to be at
the mercy of a handful of power
swollen labor leaders. They should
not have to depend for the necessi-
ties OF life on the willingness of a
John L. Lewis, or an Alvanley Johns
ton, or an A. F. Whitney to accede
to pleas from the President of the
United States that they order the
members of their unions back to
work for two weeks or five days. But
the fact is that the American people
the sovereign people in the elec-
tloneering speeches of certain poll
tlcians-are at the mercy, so far as
their economic needs are concerned.
OF the handful of men who deter
mine union policies.
Ihere is a possibility that the
eleventh-hour decision by the lead
ers OF the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers and the Brotherhood
OF Railroad Trainmen to postpone
their strike was influenced by the
threat from Charles Buford, Federal
railroad manager, to hire strike
breakers if they could be found and
TO protect them with troops. This,
at least, was an encouraging indica-
ton of an intent on the part of the
President, for whom Mr. Buford was
acting, to do what he could, to break
a railroad strike. But another pos
sfbiiity is that the rail union heads
deferred the strike in the expecta-
tion that the Government, as it has
done in the past, would beat re-
treat and make additional conces-
sions to keep the trains running. A
somewhat similar situation prevails
in the case of Mr.. Lewis. the proba-
bility being that the Government
will seize the mines and then make
the best terms it can with him.
Meanwhile. the Senate continues
to debate the issue of labor legisla-
ton. The opponents of any measure
to curb abuses by unions are stalling
for time, and those Senators who
believe that some legislation is es-
sential seem unable to muster the
strength to force the question to a
vote. If this results in a prolonga-
ton of the union war of nerves"
against the public, the people to a
very large extent will have them
selves to blame. For even a reluctant
Senate could be compelled to pro-
tect the public interest if a suff1-

callous ruling. This is as 1t should
be. In emergencies of this nature,
red tape, jurisdictional disputes or
other technicalities must be subordi-

decency.

The new program, which requires the
Government to buy Is per cent of the
whole wheat supply, seems to give an
unexpected answer to the question OF
the price of the principal grains during
the next l8 months. A year ago every
one expected and feared a sudden sharp
fall of grain prices, and the Department
Of Agriculture figured that the farmers
income might be IS per cent less in
! 1946 than in 1945. But as long as the
Department of Agriculture is the buyer
OF Is per cent of all wheat, it almost
surely can set the price, at least to such
IAN extent that no serious decrease can
Fbe expected for the next 18 months.
!, 1t may be disappointment to some
domestic industries that we are going to
reduce their use of wheat from 20,O00,-
900 bushels to 100000. For some, it
may even be more depressing that, in
stead of an alleged "9o-day affair."" the
full weight of restrictions may be loaded
ON them for several months to come
Tor the sole reason that there may be
possibility of continuing need of grain
for food in 1947. -.
This has brought about belief in
some places that such industrial restric-
tions are only window dressing, espe-
cially since such industries as luxury
foods, breweries and liquor production
give back considerable volume of corn
and barley in the form of cattle feed.
In demands for these restrictions thers
is measure of politics and reform
sentiment. Such practically insignifi-
cant savings of grains probably will not
be required when the first clear news
Of good European crops is confirmed.
The Department of Agriculture points
out that Of all wheat exported by AL
countries to meet this present situation.
the United States Is supplying nearly
half.

of so-called negotiations.
The toughest nut to crack has been
the Lewis demand for an operator
supported, nion-directed health and
welfare fund. Not far behind in the
category of headaches are the demands
that findings of Federal Bureau of Mines
inspectors be adhered to by the opera
tors and for the unionization of all
supervisory and clerical mine employees
except six men to each work shift.
Both the welfare fund and the fore
mems issues have implications that
transcend the coal industry and are of
the utmost Importance to nearly every
businessman in the country. So the
outside pressure on the operators to hold
fast against the Lewis onslaughts on
those lines is very great
There would be loud cries for the scalp
of the Federal agent any way he worked
out an agreement with the mine workers
on those points. That is the principal
reason the Government has been re-
luctant to use the seizure device
1t is interesting to note that Mr.. Lewis
in rejecting the Presidents proposal to
arbitrate contract differences turned his
back on dispute machinery with
which the mine workers in the past
have perfect record of victory 1t has
been used only twice in the industry
Shortly after the First World War the
miners won big wage increase through
arbitration. Then, late in 1941, Mr..
Lewis was awarded the closed shop in
the captive" mines, although some of
the operators claimed the union had
little or no strength among their
workers.
