Policemen
Preparing 10 Fight
Student S Charges

Two policemen suspended follow
ing a charge by Georgetown Uni
versity student that a policeman
beat him, will have "a good deal to
say" when the time comes in court,
their attorney asserted today.
The youth, Daniel j. Fitzpatrick,
%, will go on trial Tuesday on
charges of being drunk and dis
orderly. He contends he was ar
rested twice without justification,
and that on the second occasion.
one of the policemen struck him
with a blackjack.
Yesterday Municipal Court Judge
Walter B. Casey ordered two for
FIXTURES of collateral in the charges
against Mr.. Fitzpatrick to be set
aside, and for him to stand trial.
| Suspended as a result of the Incl
dent are Pvts. James A. Stewart,
jr., 35, of the 5700 block of North
Tenth road, Arlington, and Warren
L. Garrett, 80, of the 1900 block of
Thirty fifth street NV, both of the
seventh precinct.
Warrants Depend on Trial.
Outcome of Tuesdays trial will
have a bearing on whether war
rants will be sworn out for the po-
licemen, said Assistant United
States Attorney John B. Diamond,
Sd. Edward B. Williams, attorney
for Mr.. Fitzpa trick, said today he
would force no action at least until
after the trial.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick charged Stewart
with hitting him with a blackjack
at $50 am. Wednesday while he
was waiting for a streetcar at Wis
consin avenue and M streets NV.
The previous Thursday he had been
arrested by Stewart and charged
with drunkenness. He said Garrett
had stood by while the other police
man was beating him.
James j. Laughlin, attorney for
the policeman. said he had state
ments from Stewart covering the
two incidents which charged Mr..
Fitzpatrick with cursing him in an
abusive manner at the time of the
first arrest. The policeman said the
youth was flushed and obviously
drunk" a statement denied by the
defendant.
Statement Charges Threat.
Mr.. Laughlin said one question
which will be asked was why Mr.
Fitzpatrick was up at $50 am. on
the occasion of the second arrest.
In his statement to Inspector Lloyd
Kelly covering this incident, Stewart
said he met the student on the street
corner, and that Mr.. Fitzpatrick
rushed toward the police car, ours
ing him and saying I'm going to
get you now"
Mr.. Fitzpatrick's story was that
he had been in the Little Tavern
at 1901 Wisconsin avenue NV.
drinking some coffee after having
been up late studying for examina-
tions.
In another matter involving the
Georgetown area, Judge Casey yes
terday dismissed disorderly conduct
charges against Robert McCole, %,
of 1885 Legation street NV, a
Georgetown University student and
Army vetei an.
He was alleged to have fought
with an Army sergeant in a Wis
consin avenue tavern. In dismiss
ing the case, Judge Casey criticized
the arresting officer, Policeman L. E.
Gatlin of the seventh precinct, for
failure to arrest the other principal.

Emil Schram Speaks.
Speaking before the group, Emil
Schram, president Of the New York
Stock Exchange, called for incom-
petents to stop tinkering with our
intricate economy and 'have faith
In our free enterprise system"
He said it was a part of Com
munist theology that capitalism con-
tains within itself the seeds of its
own destruction-a propaganda that
tends to make some people of the
capitalistic countries lack faith in
the American system"
Unlike some pessimists," he
added, Il do not think the Amer
ican social order has become so
weak that it would disintegrate
even if the most unhealthful NAL
adjustments had to be corrected.
All but a few Americans know that
our depressions are periods of great
prosperity and luxury compared
with the normal state of affairs
in Russia"

PEOPLE GET HURT

/ lot of people got hurt after the last war during the Harding Coolidge back-to- -aormalcy era when we zoomed to unf ecedented pros perity and then crashed into de- pression. And for my money Paul Hoffman. head of Studebaker, was absolutely right the other day when he said our system couldn't take another such violent swing as that which We sffered in l929-32
 A lot Of people also got hurt in England during the general strike of 1926. Labor had taken too many liberties, people were sore at la Dor, and a Conservative British Government not only broke the strike but practically wiped out the coal miners union
 But the British pendulum swung too far-so far that, three brief years later, Labor was back not only with all its strength reganed, but with the Conservative Government sitting outside No. 10 Downins Street looking at a Labor Govern. nent on the inside.
 We in the USA, therefore. migh take a lesson from England abou labor eXteremes.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1947-06-30
REBUIL3n>a GERMANY

Another significant swing to eX- tremes, in my opinion. is the argu- ment new taking place between Gen. Lucius Clay, U. s. Command CT in Germany, and the leading re- build-GeImany clique inside the War Department.
 General Clay is willing to rebuild Garmany-up to a point He would rebuild her textiles and lighter in- dustrics. However. he 1iatly dis agrees with extremists on the other sida who would let I. G. Farben and the giant steel and chemical cartels which munitioned Hitler's war machine mushroom back over night.
 The theory behind the Big-Ger- many-Rebuilders of the War De- partment is that We need a potent Germany as a buffer state against Russia And, of course, if We are to have inevitable war with Rus sia and if that war is to be fought according to old-fashicned lines on European soh. ana finally if We can trust Germany then l, for one, would go along with such a pro- gram
 But our military men, as I recall it, have been warning that the next war would come right across the i Polar caps leaving Germany sey- eral thousand miles behind. Also I recall that history for nearly hun dred years shows that the Germans. once a few shooting irons get into their hands, cannot be trusted. The British had the same balanca-of- power idea after the last war, and British bankers along with Wall Street-helped finance Germany as a buffer against Russia-and even France. But it didn't work.
 And the secret files of the War Department show that even my old friend Fulton Lewis got himself

 That is just one boat. That figure would be multi piled many times during the year and t all adds up to increased shipping costs for AaskanS. brought about by Alaskan longshoremen. Only in Juneau and Ketehkan do the longshore- men refuse to work from midnight to a. m. In other ports they take the boats they come.
 When will labor leaders begin to use little common sense in their dealings?
 Such abuses as this responsible for the passage of the Taft-Hartley labor bill restrictive legislation necessary protect the American people from labor despots whose power had gone to their heads
 This is not the first time that Congress has had to impose such restrictive laws to protect the people from ruthless minorities.
 There was the case of the railroad barons whose manipulation of the railroads brought into being the Interstate Commerce Commission Then the restrictive legislation to correct abuses in the insurance business, public utilities banking and securities, all laws passed in the public interest
 It was just Q question of time when the abuses heaped upon the public by so-called labor leaders would drive Congress passing legislation limiting this power The warnings many, but labor ignored the danger signals well the lessons of history
 Now labor must clean it's house, or it will be cleaned by the government and the sooner our labor organizations realize this the better off they'll be.

 But when Congressman Wright Patman Of Texas had the Library of Congress prepare a report on "Fascism In Action certain Re- publicans, aided by a few Demo- crats, moved to keep that report bottled up in Committee
 At the latest meeting, Democratic Congressman Tom Pickett of Texas moved to publish the report on Fascism. but the Chicago Tribune's COP Congressman Fred Busbey of Illinois objected. He had already forced a revision of the report mak- ing it more palatable to Spanish Dictator Franco and his Church supporters. Furthermore, Dr. Ern- est Griffith of the Library Of Con- gress who was present at the meet ing, promised to include the text of the Nazi-Soviet agreement.
 Finally on vote of to G. the Committee tucked It voted to pass the buck to the full House of Re- presentatives and let it decide whe- ther the report cn Fascism be pub lished Since one vote in the House can stop it, this means no publica- tion
 Now this report on Fascism, talk 5n by itself, is not so important. II fact many consider the report in- effectually written. However, it re- presents a trend-a trend toward forgetting some ot the things we were fighting for.
