War and Crime

Chief Justice Laws of District
Court has taken step consistent
with the cause of wise and even
handed justice in his determination
that war veterans should have the
benefit Of psychiatric examinations
in crimes possibly traceable to war
psychoses.
1t is only right that men who
have gone through the narrowing
ordeal Of combat-wno were, as the
Chief Justice put it. taught to
seize, kill. assault, burn and de-
stroy"-should have full opportu-
nifty. through competent counsel, to
present their war records to the
court as having a possible bearing
on their actions. Justice Laws cites
one case in which he saved a young
veteran from the electric chair by
ordering a psychiatric examination,
which proved the former soldiers
combat experiences had made him
I. insane.
Nor is this an isolated case.
Newspapers have carried numerous
stories of war-crazed veterans run
ming amok on their return to peace
time pursuits. The same page of
The Star which reported Justice
Laws attitude in such cases coinci-
dentally told of the confession by
a soldier that he possibly" was
guilty of the so-called BLACK
Dahlia" murder in California. The
soldier wore the combat infantry
mans badge and four battle stars.
# the soldiers guilt is proved, it is
only just that the court should con-
slider whether his duties as a soldier
had permanently twisted his mind.
The problem of the law enforce,
ment officer is complicated, Of
course, by the fact that some crimi-
mails seek to make unfair use of
the war as an excuse for seeking
freedom or ieniency. But, here, too,
the psychiatrist can aid the cause
OF justice by helping the court to
decide between feigned war nerves.
and the real thing. Psychiatry thus
can strengthen the administration
of impartial justice by exposing the
faker as well as protecting the in
nocent victim of induced men,
tai illness. This whole undertaking
is one in which Veterans Admins
tration psychiatrists well might join
In protection not only of the interest
Of veterans, but of the public inter-
est as well.

Coming as they do after long dis
cussions with Undersecretaries Of
State Acheson and Clayton, they
constitute q sound and reasonable
compromise, and In all probability
the President will accept them.
It remains to be seen, however,
whether the antireciprocity Repub-
licans in the Senate and House will
do the same. As one Of the pro-
grams foes, Senator Taft has ad-
vised them against taking hostile
action now, on the ground that it
could get nowhere against the Presi-
dents veto. II they 60 ahead and
act anyhow, they will be weakening
our hand abroad and obstructing all
plans for an expanding world
economy.

Portul-to-PortuI Balloon

That kissing sound heard around
the country yesterday was the hot
air escaping from the magnificent
portal-to-portal pay balloon, fol-
lowing Judge Picard's decision in
the curious Mount Clemens Pottery
case. The balloon was not alto
gether Debated. But the brass tack
OF fact, in the form of walking time
per minute of workers on their way
to the days task, disposes for the
time being of the case at issue and
releases a lot of other thin hopes
wrapped up in that case. So solid
are the facts that the Judge dug up
for the Supreme Court, in accord
ance with it's instructions, that it is
difficult to believe they can be sue
cessfully attacked.
But there remains a Job for Con-
gress to do in supplying a clear cut
definition Of compensate working
time within the Wages and Hours
Act. That might be accomplished
by concurrent resolution, but it
would be more effectively done by
clarifying amendment of the law it
self. For the substance of most
OF the portal-to-portal litigation is
uncertainties over what Congress
and the courts have In mind, and
If these are removed most of the
litigation will dissolve.
In the course Of his decision, how
ever, Judge Picard delivered himself
of one opinion which Is as impor-
tant, ,Jif upheld, as the facts sub
mitted regarding the small things"
with which the law is not con-
cerned.
That regards retroactivity, on
which many Of the instigators of
portal-to-portal suits have based
their hopes for bonanza of fan
tastic sums. Judge Picard holds
that employers who have made an
honest effort to follow the Admin
istrator's interpretations of the
Wage-Hour Act should not be penal
lied by retroactive damages IL a
court Of law lays down another and
conflicting Interpretation. For en-
ployers who have made no effort to
comply, there is another story. But
Zone should be protected for past
acts done in good faith. Otherwise
there can be no stability in an in
dustrial world when tomorrow may
see some new Interpretation of the
work week that would disrupt our
entire economic structure. - We
ought to have in mind always that
we are in great part an industrial

Reciprocity Compromise

In their important joint statement
on the subject, Senators Vanden-
berg and Millikin have taken o
timely step to dissuade their fellow
Republicans from any action likely
to undermine our reciprocal trade
program.
The significance of the statement
rests in two facts. First of these is
that more than q few Republicans
in Congress seem eager to return to
an era of high protective tariffs
and that If they make an issue OF
it at this time they will split their
party in the Senate and House. The
second fact Is that reciprocal trade
is one of the key parts Of our for
eeign economic policy and that we
are slated to negotiate over it with
eighteen other nations in April. If
it should be undermined In the
meantime, our Government would
be placed in a peculiarly embarrass-
ing position, and the whole world
would have reason to doubt the BIZ
partisan nature of our approach to
international affairs.
Accordingly, Senators vandenberg
and Millikin have suggested q kind
of compromise formula. They would
have Congress defer all action on
the reciprocity program until it
comes up for legislative renewal
next year. Meanwhile, they would
have the President make certain
changes in. the programs operation,
as he is empowered to do by law.
These changes would subject all
future reciprocal agreements to
escape clauses" and reviews and
public hearings under which the
United States Tariff Commission
would directly advise the President
to rule out, withdraw or modify any
concessions likely to be- harmful to
our domestic economy.
These proposals, as Senators VAN
denberg and Millikin declare, are
designed to "allay many of the
fears that have been mentioned" by
opponents of reciprocity. At the
same time, although calling for
procedural changes, they would not
hamper the negotiation Of agree
ments to encourage the essential
expansion Of our foreign trade"

forms already initiated are the real pro-
gram and not the beginning OF son1e-
thing more radical and violent, and
that within the areas Of public and
private activity the government will
play fair.
The democratic bloc" system is the
only way, in Poland, that any one-say
more than 2 per cent-could be per-
suaded to vote for Communists by not
voting for them at all, but for bloc

These are: Security control OF the

of the bodies, minds, economics, and
external relations Of Poland and Of the
territories acquired from Germany The
Germans have been driven from these
lands, into which 4,500,000 Poles have
been dumped.
The undersecretaries are not an

posts. Jacob Berman, eminence girls Of

cabinet, direct link with Moscow, has

Our gestures in Poland seem rather
ambiguous and coy.
Our ambassador, doubtless acting on
Washingtons instructions, first refrains
from attending the opening of the new
Polish Parliament. This is done to in
dicate that the United States does not
believe the January elections created a
representative body, and the gesture is
noticed.
But then he congratulates President
Beirut on his reelection as President,
though 1t Is the unrepresentative and
from our viewpoint-illega body which
has reelected him. This might be con-
fusing to the Polish people. A generally
aloof derneanor ell along the line would
have seemed more coherent and con-
sistent for whatever good 1t might have
done.
The new cabinet is headed by Premier
Josef Cyrankiewicz, one Of the fusion
socialists in the so-called democratic
bloc" Most critics Of the bloc think he

Mr.. Cyrankiewicz, with whom

satisfied with the state of affairs. There

Western political tradition. He would
like to see Poland restored to the reign
Of law. He will not contradict you II
you say fatty that there is no law

Nor will he say no If you advance
the proposition that three things are
necessary for the real consolidation and
pacification OF Poland. These are: The
elimination OF personalities who are
universally believed to be Moscow quis-
lings; the evolution Of the security POI
lice into an arm Of the law and not OF

Washington As q Host

That washington rapidly is recov-
ering from the effects of the hectic
war years of overcrowded hotels,
restricted travel and convention
taboos is evidenced by the activity
these days at headquarters Of the
Board of Trades Greater National
Capital Committee.
The committee has just prepared
list of more than seventy-five i'm
portant conventions to be held here
this year, some of them international
in scope. And the list is not COM
plete. Included among the organi-
cations which have scheduled meet
ings here are a number which will
bring to the National Capital some
of the outstanding professional and
business leaders of the country.
Scientists, industrial magnates, edi-
tors, sociologists, educators, repre-
sentatives, in fact, of nearly every
phase of our national life will come
here from all parts Of the Nation to
consult with one another and, in
cidentally, to enjoy the hospitality
of their National Capital.
It is only natural that Washing
ton should be the mecca of so many
convention -goers. No other city Of
fers the opportunity of first-hand
contact with all the Federal aqen-
cies, combined with the pleasures of
sightseeing at the Seat of Govern
ment Only one thing is lacking to
make the picture complete. That is
an auditorium capable of handling
the largest conventions and exposi-
tions. Until this deficiency is met,
Washington cannot do full justice to
the role which the Greater National
Capital Committee envisions for 1t
as "host to the Nation"

To tn. Editor OF The Star:

1t Is interesting to note the reaction
of the portal-to-portal suits on the
intelligent workingman.
When going to Washington on
Wednesday on the early morning train, I
sat beside nice looking young worker,
going to Wilmington, with his lunch
box in his hand. His idea Of the above
suits was that II they were approved by
the courts,
First: 1t would tend to materially
destroy the general economy Of the Ma
ton, and
Second: It would make all prices of
goods and services 50 high that the
Workingman would be unable to buy.
