 After the boards Al ruling was announced, Denham told a news conference he would abide com pletely in NLRB procedures.
 That's the boards ruling and l expect to follow it." he said.
 Denham said he still thought he was right in his interpretation but felt that he should go along with the NLRB's opinion of the law.
 The boards decision, coupled with Denham's reaction, takes the heat off the AFL and CIO conventions, where fights had been threatened because some unions wanted to qualify to use the board and some top AFL and CIO officials were baking at signing the pledges.

Loot or Souvenirs?

It seems to have taken the Hesse
crown jewels and f1stful of Japa-
nese diamonds to awaken Federal
officials to the fact that line should
be drawn somewhere to let our forces
abroad know where souvenir COL
lecting ends and looting begins. Mr..
Webster defines loot as "plunder;
spoils; booty; especially plunder
taken from an enemy's city, as after
a SIEGE" Military laws of all civil
ized countries list looting as seri-
Gus crime, for which heavy penalties
may be imposed.
Nothing is said about souvenir
collecting, however, and the flood
of foreign pistols, swords, knives,
currency, art objects and other
curios which arrived in the United
States during and since World
War II attest the fact our boys rode.
their hobby with carefree abandon.
Nearly everybody was doing it,
officers as we'll as enlisted men. Few
had any trouble with too-nosy
customs inspectors, judging by. the
amount of stuff that came in duty
free.
1t was inevitable that somebody
would have to spoil everything by
OVERRIDING it. Apparently neither
the War nor Navy Departments was
greatly concerned about the souvenir
craze until couple of jackpots like
the Hesse jewels and the japanese
diamonds were hit. AS result OF
these and other disturbing instances,
Army, Navy and State Departments
have decided to draw up policy"
This better-late-t -than-never pro-
nouncement, it is reported, will con-
denim the bringing in OF loot" and
threaten prosecution to any present
or former CT found to have more
than $1,000 worth Of plunder in his
possession. Voluntary surrender OF
such valuables will be urged.
If this be true, the inference Is
logical that souvenir collecting be-
comes looting in the ugly sense OF
the word as soon as the collector
amasses more than $4,000 worth OF
mementoes. But how can an in
expert soldier or sailor be sure that
he is still safely under the loot
valuation limit? Anyway, it would
seem to be rather late to be forn1u-
lating a souvenir -versus-loot policy
for a war that closed a yearand-a-
half ago. 1t may come in handy if
there should be another war, Of
course.

Veterans in Court

The sympathetic and cooperative
response of Federal officials to Chief
Justice Laws suggestions regarding
the handling of criminal cases
against war veterans is most graft
flying. The prospects are bright that
a satisfactory working arrangement
will develop and that the war
records of veterans charged with
crime will be available. When
such records present a case history
suggesting the possibility of mental
disorder, the information will be
available to the court.
A natural reaction to this proposal,
from highly respected quarter, is
typifled in the letter to The Star
from DR.. Winfred Overholser, super
intendent of st. Elizabeth's Hospital,
printed elsewhere on this page to-
day. DR.. Overholser's suggestion that
the plan be broadened to include
psychiatric studies in cases of non
veterans as we'll as servicemen or
former servicemen is worthy of con-
sideration by the courts and prose-
cutors. In the case of veterans, for
tunately. the machinery for making
the plan work already exists. All
that is necessary is to put the parts
together and start things moving.
With the veterans experiment as
guide, extension of the program to
include all defendants in need of
psychiatric examination would be
logical second step. But it would
be mistake to delay the plan, as
it affects veterans, in the belief that
it might be broadened. We have
here a good place to begin and to
make a study of the experiment
with veterans.
Meanwhile, Chief Justice Laws has
properly re-emphasized that the
idea in all this is not to show any
judicial favoritism to defendant
because he happens to be veteran.
The purpose is to be sure that
veteran suffering from war-induced
mental arrangements receives hos
pitalization rather than punishment.
The type of veterans preference"
which operates to free war
affected criminal or to discriminate
unfairly as between veterans and
nonveterans, everything else being
equal, is not encompassed in Justice
Laws plan and has no place in the
administration of justice.

The Political Mill
Bv Gould Lincoln

have been proposed in this Congress.
Democrats are by no means the only
offenders when it comes to new, costly
programs proposed in Congress. There
are, for example, two bills sponsored by
Senator Taft of Ohio, chairman of the
Republican Policy Committee of the
Senate,-along with other Senators
which would add nearly a half billion
dollars to governmental expenditures.
The first is to authorize the appropria-
ton of $250,000,000 year. to be ap-
portioned among the States to finance
a program of public elementary and
secondary school education. The second
authorizes a new health program"
through Federal aid to the States cost
ing $4,000 900 annually.
No one denies that these are worthy
projects - although some members of
Congress will shy away from the school
appropriations on the ground it is
dangerous for the Federal Government
to get into that field. 1t is, however,
the question of cost that enters in
and the ability of the Federal Govern
ment to drag the additional money out
Of the American taxpayers.
y X
Mr. Byrnes, from the 1916 report OF
the Secretary of the Treasury, showed
the House that expenditures made by
the Government as direct payments to
states under cooperative arrangements,
States under cooperative arrangements.
kind of aid during the fiscal year 1916
totaled $847 1923. .44314, and that when
payments to individuals within the
States, for aid of one kind and another,
were added it brought the figure up to
1890, ,107, 1881. Figures obtained for
the fiscal years 1947 and 1948 show that
these expenditures will grow still higher.
The grants to States in 1947 will be
81, 1874 SAL 900 and in 1948, S1,735, $40 900.
Senator Byrd of Virginia, Democrat,
watchdog of the Treasury, who has
fought for years to keep down Federal
expenditures as chairman of special
Senate committees, has also made an
investigation into these grants and
payments to States by the Federal Gov
ernment. His report shows an ever
mounting list of grants in aid to the
States.
This development is of comparatively
recent growth. In 1915 the total Federal
aid to States amounted to SIS, 400 600; in
1945 it had increased to S849, 100000.
Also governmental expenditures, Fed
eral, State and local, have become in a
similar period almost Overwhelmingly
Federal. In 1918. for example, the per
cent of Government expenditures for
the American people divided as follows:
Federal, 26 per cent of the total; State,
1875 per cent ; and local COS per cent.
In 1914, Federal expenditures had
reached 92.3 per cent, leaving the State
expenditures per cent and local
expenditures AS This was war year
but the shift from local and State gov
ernment expenditures to Federal, now
that peace Rs come. is still tremendous

Britain and America

It is doubtful that the United
States can do much to soften the
immediate impact of the grave coal
crisis in Britain. Yet every bit helps,
and it is in recognition of that fact
that President Truman has offered
to divert to English ports a number
of colliers now at sea and headed for
European countries.
The Presidents offer-which is
contingent only on Britain's accep-
tance-is a timely gesture. Although
it can have little material influence
on the current emergency, it will be
welcomed by all Britons as evidence
of Americas sympathetic interest in
the situation and of our readiness to
help in whatever way we can. We
have reason to feel that way. In the
world as it is, the democratic British
people have key role to play in
establishing a good peace, but they
will not be able to play it if they
break down economically.
At the moment Britain is caught
in an industrial paralysis throwing
millions out of work Months ago
the Labor government should have
resorted to rationing and other
measures to build up stockpiles of
coal in preparation for the winter.
1t failed to do so. however. even
though there had been warnings
long In advance. For its lack of
foresight, therefore, it seems clearly
to merit the sharp criticism being
leveled at it now. But the British
people know that it does no good
simply to be critical. They must
cooperate fully if they are to ride
out their troubles. They cannot af-
ford to do anything else. At time
when they are desperately in need
of production to bolster their export
import position, they have suffered
a grievous blow, and unless they can
recover from it with the greatest
possible speed, their whole economy
is likely to collapse, with far-reach-
ing consequences around the world.
It issbecause Of this, because the

crisis in the United Kingdom has a
vital bearing on the international
balance of political and economic
power, that the United States is
impelled to take deep and anxious
interest in the situation and be pre-
pared to lend a helping hand. We
need a strong and democratic Brit
ain in the world. The Presidents
offer to divert colliers may be little
more than a friendly gesture in it
self, but it symbolizes proper Amer
ican concern over the long-term
British future. We cannot shrug it
off as unimportant. Our own we'll
being is greatly involved in it.
