Dismissed j. 5. Aides
Told How 10 Get Back
Retirement Funds

The Civil Service Commission has
issued instructions to dismissed Fed
eral workers with less than 10 years
of service on how to 60 about with.
drawing their money from the Fed
eral retirement fund.
Withdrawal of the retirement
money is allowed under the pro-
visions of the Jones bill which was
signed into law yesterday by Presi-
dent Truman.
The commission estimated that
about 10000 employees are affected
by the bill. 1t was pointed out that
the Withdrawals are entirely op-
tional on the employees part, and
that If the money is kept in the re-
tirement fund, the employe will be
eligible for annuity pensions on
reaching retirement age.
Employees in Washington wish
ing to withdraw their money should
get in touch with the agency in
which they were last employed, or
the Civil Service Commission, and
obtain a copy of Form 3005, Re
fund of Deductions.
The completed form should then
pe mailed by the former employe to

tends the customer made In reselling
new car.
The dealer said he intends to give
the money to charity.
The Dearing Chevrolet CO. filed
the suit against J. C. Schular, jr.
The company charges that Mr..
Schular bought the car for 1886
and gave the dealer a written option
to repurchase the car in event he
decided to sell it within the next
six months. The dealer paid Mr..
Schular 81 for the option.
Shortly after the purchase, the
dealer contends Mr.. Schular sold
the automobile to a used car dealer
at a profit of around $780," with
out giving the company a chance
to exercise It's option.
The company said it intends to
give the money to charity since had
it repurchased the car, it would
have resold it at the regular list
price without q profit.

refund claims Of this nature can be
paid OF within 30 days Of the time
the form is submitted to its retire
ment division.
Many dismissed workers are ex-
pected to take advantage of the
new law, which will enable average
Withdrawals of about 5000. This
money will help tide over many. of
these employees until they find new
jobs.
The bill was sponsored by Repre-
sentative Jones, Republican, OF

For every child that dies at ages

If the mortality conditions Of IS years
ago still prevailed" states a report from
the statistician Of one Of the leading
life insurance companies.
More than 18 years have been added
to the average length of life among
American wage-earners and their fam
lilies in the past IS years." 1t Is pointed
out
up to age As the decline in mortality
is well above so per cent in each age
group, and even at ages IS to "a the
decline is large-a1most 80 per cent
among white males and 81 per cent
among white females" the report con-
tinues.
1t is interesting to note that at vir-
tually every age period the insured
females have recorded greater improve
ment in mortality than the males.
So, for whatever 1t is worth, we can
expect to live longer than we would
have II we had lived in our grand

This Changing World
By Constantine Broicn

High officials in Washington are dis
turbed and disappointed because Rus
sia's softer policy, evidenced in the last
few weeks by Foreign Minister Molo-
TOYS attitude In New York, appears to
have been short-lived.
Reports from Ankara indicate that
the Soviet point of view regarding set
tlement of the Turkish Straits question
has remained unchanged in spite Of
previous unofficial indications from
Moscow that Russia would accept a
multi-power parley with the United
States included
8 Observers on the Russian Turkish
border in Eastern Anatolia report re-
hewed Russian troop activities. These
compel the Turkish general staff to
believe that Russia may not have
given up the ioea of settling the Dar-
danelles and Bosporus question and
the dispute over Kars and Ardahan
Provinces directly with Turkey-and
\ if necessary by force of arms.
At the same time the Soviet Foreign
Office is trying to bring about a Dip
lomatic break on the Turkish question
between London and Washington. The
American and. British governments
have seen eye to eye on settlement Of
the Turkish Russian controversy and
both have insisted that the whole
question be submitted to the sigma
tories Of the Montreux convention and
settled on the basis of an international
understanding.
X \
On December % the British Ambas-
sador at Moscow rejected the Soviet
note on the straits question. This note,
which was presented to the British
Foreign Office week earlier, main-
tanned that. there are still some OUT
standing points to be discussed directly
between Moscow and Ankara and con-
sequently biIateral negotiations must be
continued.
Foreign Secretary Bevin instructed his
Ambassador to inform the Soviet gov
ernment that Great Britain considered
such direct parleys futile and insisted
that the whole matter be presented to
an international body for discussion and
solution. He reminded the Russian

National Fire Conference

The fact that fire is no respecter
of cities-or even of "freproof"
buildings, as evidenced in the series
of disastrous hotel fires during the
year just ended-is reason enough
for the calling of a national con-
ference of fire-safety authorities to
plan a Nationwide defense against
the dread destroyer of life and prop
erty. In announcing his intention
of sponsoring such conference,
President Truman pointed out that
the annual death toll from fires
averages 10000 persons and that
indications are that the final sum-
mary will show that the 1946 record
was the worst in the country's his
tory.
Experts who have investigated the
grim hotel fires during the past year
in Chicago, Atlanta and elsewhere
have found that most of them had
similar origins, that most Of them
followed similar courses and many of
the fatalities might have been pre-
vented If certain structural changes
had been made in the buildings. The
forthcoming conference can render
an invaluable public service by study
ing the findings of investigators in
each of the major tragedies and
focusing public attention on defects
in fire-safety codes and laxities in
enforcement wherever they exist.
Perhaps the conference will be
able to effect a reform in technical
terminology whereby 1t no longer
will be popular to label as "fireproof"
building which in fact is potential
firetrap. The public has been given
a false sense of security in the past
by the use of this word in its narrow
engineering implication. The La
Sale and Winecoff Hotels were fire
proof" in that their basic framework
was not destroyed by the fires which
ragged through them, with great loss
of life.
The conference also can aid in
bringing about a modernization of
fire codes on national scale, taking
full advantage of the lessons learned
In the recent series of catastrophes-
lessons pointing to the dangers of
open stairways, invented air shafts,
inf1ammable paints and decorations
and inadequate means of escape for
occupants of upper floors.
If the conference can succeed in
guiding the Nation into a new era of
fire safety, as the President hopes
it can, it will earn the everlasting
gratitude of a public that has been
shocked by the recent holocausts-
and the disclosure that, for the most
part, they could have been averted
by reasonable precautions.

by responsible body with such conduct
as that attributed to Senator Bilbo.
Back In 1926, two Republicans, who
had been elected to the Senate and
carried credentials of election from
their States, presented themselves in
the Senate to take the oath Of Office
and their seats. They were the late
Bill" Ware of Pennsylvania, one-time
Republican boss of Philadelphia, and
the late Frank L. Smith, Of Illinois.
Did the Senate seat them and then
consider their cases? It did not. They
were asked to stand aside without
prejudice to their cases. They did stand
aside. But had they not done so, the
Senate would have halted them by vote.
Both Mr.. Ware and Mr.. Smith were
charged with huge expenditures Of
money in their campaigns. The facts
had been turned up by q Senate COM
mittee, just as the charges against Mr..
Bilbo have been turned up by a Senate
committee The Senate held that the
expenditures Of this money was cor
rupt practice. Mr.. Ware and Mr.. Smith
were never seated.
The Republicans were in control of
the Senate in 1926, just as they will
. be in the present Congress. It Is not
of sreeerd, however, that MessrS. Ware
and Smith received Democratic sup
port for their admission to the Senate.
In the case of Mr.. Bilbo, however, a
score of Democratic Senators have gone
to his support, insisting that he must
be permitted to take his seat, even if
he Is to be thrown out later. They have
taken this position, however, for the
main reason that the race issue has
been raised, and they are from the
South.
Ten Democrats, however, Joined with
the Republicans in voting not to per-
nit Mr.. Bilbo to take his seat immedi-
ately-when motion was made to per-
init him to be seated, and on that mo-
tion another was made to table it. OBJ
viously, the Senate by large majority
was opposed to the seating of Mr.. Bilbo,
with or without prejudice. In all prob
ability two-thirds of the total men,
bership are opposed to the seating of
Mr.. Bilbo as the case stands.
At another point the Constitution
says that each house may punish its
members for disorderly behavior, and
with the concurrence of two-thirds, ex-
pei a member. From this it has been
argued that only by two-thirds vote
can Mr.. Bilbo be expelled from the
Senate, once he has been seated. He
is not yet member of the Senate-not
until he has been seated-and there is no
reason to doubt that he can be denied
the seat by majority Of the Senate,
under the authority to pass on his
qualifications.

Letters to The Star
Retorts to Those Who Urge
sJnderstandin&' Russia

70 the Editor of The Star:
The maudlin bathos of the special
pleaders vino ertreat us to "try to
understand Russia" has become posi-
lively odious. It seems always to carry
the patronizing implication that, given
the mental competence, those who "try"
of necessity will achieve enthusiastic
approval. Actually, the basic facts in
volved-and they are available in every
public library in the United States-are
so simple that they should not stump
healthy minded eighth-grade pupil.
First, the. present Russian order
emerged from the violence of revolution.
The tyranny of the Czar was supplanted
by the tyranny of a totalitarian. utterly
despotic state, of which the common
man" is the helpless bondslave In the
creation of this oppressive state the
little people" the Masses" had-and
have-no active role whatever.
Second, this Dictator state is per-
petuated by fear, by reign of terror
as real and as cruel as ever has been
known in that unhappy land. In it
there is no room for the four freedoms
nor for any one of them, because in
Russia there is not a scintilla of de-
mocracy. If our brash propagandists
deny that statement, let them proceed
at once to Russia and try to persuade
the little people" of that land to
understand" the Constitution of the
United States.
Third, the Russian government is not
restrained by nice moral inhibitions.
We do well to remember how Russia
rayished little Finland; how, as the
clouds of worldwide war blackened,
Russia teamed up with the Nazis and
the Japanese, and how Russia has
behaved since vi day.
In the light of indisputable facts, one
wonders If the special pleaders in our
midst may not be laboring under serious
handicaps. Are they culpably illiterate?
Are they pathologically obtuse? Or are
they merely trying to sell a bill of goods,
as they were when in 1941 they picketed
the White House until the very day on
which Hitler moved in against Stain?
Meanwhile, we are not under bonds
to violate our intellectual processes, to
Jeopardize our moral integrity, to muddle
ourselves into confusion, or even to
rewrite the dictionary in strained
attempt to understand Russia"

Trials for Treason


1t is said that when Robert H.
Best, then an American correspond
ent in Germany and Austria, an
nounced his decision to remain
guest of the Nazis as the last United
States-bound ship left Germany
early in 1912, he commented that
he was acting Gin the interest of
history" The sort of history he
presumably had in mind in those
days Of ambition and jubilation on
the part of his Nazi associates is far
different from the chapter of his
tory in which he now is playing an
unenviable role. The latest entry
in the record has been made by
Federal grand jury which has in
dicted Best and Douglas Chandler,
another alleged American col.abo-
rator with the Nazis on charges of
treason.
The trainers of the Constitution
made the task of prosecution and
conviction for this crime a difficult
one, with the result that treason
prosecutions are relatively rare.
Most of our wars have produced
sprinkling of cases, with the excep-
ton of World War I. The Consti-
tuition specifies that treason shall
consist "only" in levying war against
the United States or "in adhering
to their enemies, giving them aid
and comfort" and it prohibits con-
viction unless on the testimony of
two witnesses to the same overt act,
or on confession in open court"
The best-known of the early cases
was that of Aaron Burr, brought
under the first definition of the
crime, namely. the levying of war
against this country. Burr was ac-
quilted. A few years later number
of treason cases were brought
against New England opponents of
the War of 1912. The Civil War
period brought a revival of treason
charges. John Brown was hanged
for his pre-Civil War activities and
numerous secessionists, including
Jefferson Davis, President of the
Confederacy, were indicted after the
war. A presidential proclamation of
pardon and amnesty in 1868 wiped
the slate clean of Civil War cases.
There have been several treason
convictions growing out of World
War II but no executions.
Best and Chandler will be tried
in Boston under the second defini-
ton of treason. They are charged
with "adhering to the enemies" of
the United States and giving them
aid and comfort" by broadcasting
reasonable propaganda from Berlin
during the war. The trial in Boston
rather than Washington was neces-
STATED by the forced landing which
the plane bringing them to this
country made several weeks ago
near Boston. The law provides that
they must be tried in the district
