Price Control
Adopts Resolution
In Favor Of II
Retaining System

Combining with the 500 posts Of
the Jewish War Veterans Of The
United States, the David I. IN
nick Post passed q resolution at
Q meeting last night ct the Water
bury Hebrew institute asserting
that the cpntinuatino Of price con-
troll legislation is necessary for tie
stabilization Of our economy.
The resolution was unanimously
passed by the 100 members attend
ing the meeting. It states:
'TIhe stability Of our nations
economy requires the retention Of
price control. If we are to avoid
initiation and keep prices within
the reach Of millions Of veteH-
ans and their families, no re-
Taxation Of control can be per-
mitted at this time.
The veterans Of this war have
survived q holocaust Of DEATH,
the like Of which no man has
ever before seen. They have
earned the right to the necessi-
ties Of life; the right to be able
to purchase such necessities with
out inflated prices. This cannot
be accomplished unless price con-
troll is retained; unless prices are
kept in check.
Congress bears the response
bility Of seeing that millions Of
veterans are not relegated to the
position Of the forgotten hero,
who after completion Of his he
roic task shall be subjected to
the terror Of initiation and the
chaotic state, sure to follow.
The veteran has the right to
expect Congress to fulfill its
obligation to him, his family and
the community. This the jew
ish War Veterans of the United
States Of America firmly believe
can best be accomplished by re-
tanning the OPA without modi-
fication Of prices or relaxation
Of controls.
I'VE strongly urge that you ex-
pend every effort to retain the
OPA for the economic security
Of our country"

Written for the United PresS)
Belfast, May eMy brother David
Is dying In Belfast Prison today be-
cause like many other young Irish
men he wanted free, independent
and united Ireland.
From what he has told me I am
convinced that he has received
brutal treatment from the warders
in Belfast Prison. Some people call
this prison another BelSen.
My brother told me the last time
I saw him as he lay IN his cell a
physical wreck, that he would not
give UP his strike until the govern
ment here treated hi m as political
prisoner and not as criminal.
Expects to Die
He told me that he did not expect
to live more than two days at the
most.
The mental agony Of watching
him getting weaker and weaker and
knowing that we can do so little is
unbearable. Before we left his cell
he whispered to us that he hoped
II he died there would be no repris-
ais and no trouble in this city.
David was always boy with in
tense enthusiasm for everything
Irish-Irish games, Irish dancing
and the Gaelic tongue. He repre-
seuted his native Kerry as Gaelic
footbarer and he was a fine athlete.
When last saw him four years ago
before his arrest, he was a dark
haired handsome youth Of good
physique.
He was born on our family farm
about three miles from the lakes OF
Killarney. We are a family of nine
five boys and four girls. My
father was prominently identified
with the Irish freedom movement
all his life and my brother, Patrick,
the eldest was In the Ira. in 1915
He was jailed by the British several
times.
Born Amid Trouble
David was born during the time

reign Of terror In Kerry in 1920. I
was teaching in the convent school
at wicklow when read in the
newspapers that David was on a
hunger strike.
applied for permission to see
him, but the officials refused. Later
when David's condition grew dam
gerous, my brother, Jim, and I were
both admitted to see him. He lies
in solitary cell about ten feet long
and seven feet wide.
We were Mortified. We could
scarcely recognize him. He was just
a shadow of his former self. Since
then we have been visiting him fol-

Negotiations had been delayed repeatedly by fresh outbreaks with the prospect of an all-out battle for Manchuria, that was theatening to break as the ceaSe-fire order came.
 No word has been passed as to the effectiveness of the truce, as it is probably that there may be some fighting between Communist and government forces.

lie has ever encouraged his friends to
regard him as receptive for any polit-
zeal post. The same cannot be said of
Mr.. Douglas. Certainly he is fully
aware Of the propaganda in his be-
half, first for this post and then for
that. He could not help but be. Ger
tainly, too, he has never done any
thing to discourage it.
On the contrary, his left wing New
Deal friends with whom he was act
lively and intimately associated before
he was appointed to the court and
with whom he is still in close touch,
feel that what they have been doing
in the way of Douglas publicity has
been anything but offensive to him.
Some of his deeply distressed col
legues on the court feel that way, too.
The Supreme Court of the United
States is the last place an ambitious
politician ought to be- At no time in
the history of the court has there
been as much public gossip about its
members for second-grade positions.
And at no time has the court been so
embarrassingly afflicted by absentee
ism. Certainly, it is difficult to main
tain that both the court and the coun-
try have not suffered.

POLITICS AND THE COURT
By FRANK r. KENT

The longer he stays away the
clearer i seems that the detachment
by the President of Supreme Court
Justice Robert H. Jackson to act as
chief prosecutor of the Nazi criminals
at the Nuremberg trials was not good
for the court, not good for the people,
not good for Mr.. Jackson and not
good for the President.
1t is true that Mr.. Truman acted in
accord with precedents set by his i'm
mediate predecessor He was carrying
out one of the Roosevelt policies. But
this was one of the worst of the
Roosevelt policies. 1t did not work
we'll for Mr.. Roosevelt and is working
less we'll for Mr.. Truman. The evil
effects of this kind of presidential
interference with the work of the
Supreme Court had been pointed out
plainly enough for Mr.. Truman to
have avoided this particular Roosevelt
mistake. Mr.. Truman did not act
wisely when he asked Mr.. Jackson to
take this assignment and Mr.. Jack
son, though he has done a creditable
job, did not show wisdom in accepting
it.
In the past few months there has
been abundant evidence to sustain
both these contentious. And there will
be more before Mr.. Jackson returns,
AS a matter Of fact, the Supreme
Court itself, through its 4-to-4 decis-
IONS made possible by Mr.. Jackson'S
absence, has added heavily to the rea-
sons for favorably considering, first,
Congressman O'Hara's pending bill to
prohibit Presidents from detaching
justices, and, second, the New York
Bar Association proposed amendment
to the Constitution which reads as
follows: "No justice Of the Supreme
Court shall, during his term, hold any
other public office or perform any
other function in behalf of the Fed
eral Government nj any state or other
government entity; nor shall he after
his term hold any public office or
perform any function in behalf Of the
Federal Government or of any State
or other governmental entity,
