Jumped" theEa at certain spots in
Georgetown.
Several students, interviewed at
the Georgetown campus, said one
OF the danger points" for them Is
in the $500 block of M street NV.
They said fellow students have
been attacked nearly every Satur-
day night near one OF the cafes
Of the area.
Police reported that student

Georgetown Hospital in a scout car.
He was released after examination

trace was found OF the man he had
fought with, police said.
Police said they frequently answer
fight and riot alarms in the neigh
borhood. but declared there is no
more Of tough element problem"
In the seventh precinct than in most
other areas of the city.
Father Kunkel said he is convinced
Mr.. Fitzpatrick is innocent OF both
drunk and disorderly charges placed
against the student. He said he
bases this on statements he has
from at least five witnesses. Only
when Mr.. Fitzpatrick was arrested
and his sense of justice was out
ragged did the student resist what
he considered an injustice, Father
Kunkel declared He said he is
watching the course of the police
investigation with great interest.
The university wants to see Mr.
Fitzpatrick cleared, he said. adding
that the student forfeited collateral
only because it seemed the thing to
do at the time.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick, who lives with
four other students at 4412 Forty
sixth street NV, said Stewart
struck him on the head at $50 am.
Wednesday as he was waiting for a
streetcar at Wisconsin avenue and
M streets NV, a short distance
from the Little Tavern restaurant
at 1901 Wisconsin avenue NV.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick said he had gone
10 the Little Tavern for a few cups
of coffee. having been up late TAX
Ing examinations and talking with
friends at the university. He said
Stewart had arrested him last
Thursday on charge of intoxica-
ton, and that, when the officer, who
was driving by in a private car with
Garrett on Wednesday, recognized
him, Stewart got out of the car.
Both policemen are said to have been
in plain clothes at the time and off
duty.
Hit With Blackjac
Stewart called me collegiate
punk and hit me over the head
with blackjack as Garrett stood by
and watched" Mr.. Fitzpatrick said.

any provocation. He then took me
to No. precinct and booked me for
disorderly conduct"
Mr.. Fitzpatrick said he forfeited
S. collateral on this charge, and
also SIS on the intoxication charge
because of the prospect of losing
time fighting the charges while he
was facing exams.
He declared Garrett did not par
ticipate in the scuffle,
Stewart said he was driving near
Georgetown University with Garrett
when he arrested Mr. Fitzpatrick
for "cursing and swearing" Mr..
Fitzpatrick denied cursing. He said
he had had few beers earlier in

wage of 75o0 francs asmonth This would only amount to about $62 To it seems a reasonable enough de- mand. But the Government reply is that it cannot be met without raising prices. This would endanger the entire French economy by forcing further in- fation the very thing the Government is desperately trying to check
 The real issue, however. runs much deeper. than that. It was symbolized recently by ! photograph published here of paradng Government workers pass ing the Place de rOpera headed by strong delega- ton of Paris police carrying the banner of their national syndicate This the token of the four hour strike clear warning that the forces maintain ing law and order have joined hands with millions of other federal employees to threaten general strike
 There is not much doubt in the minds of French men that a general strike now would mean coup detat. The French Confedartion of Labor is labor monopoly Its members man most of the Key ndtstree of France including the railroads, mining manufactur- ing and other vital utilities. They are under the control of Communist leaders Hitherto these leaders, have refrained from strikes because they were not sanctioned by Communist Ministers in the coalition Government Should they order a general walkout now, however, France would be utterly paralyzed. Chaos would follow.
 The Communist party in France apparently feels that the time is not yet ripe for general strike which they believe would give them an opportunity to seize the Government Their Cabinet members, Vice Premier Maurice Thorez and the Ministers of National Defense Public Health and Reconstruction, still offer Premier Ramader their nominal support resisting the demands of the workers, though with equivccal nsstence that wages can be raised without raising prices Perhaps the present series Of strikes is only exploratory The workers strong and well disciplined The Government is weak and divided, fighting for time There hopeful signs in negotia tions just starting between the Government and the railway unions that the crisis may be compromised for the present But opinion is general that 1t must come to head sooner later. The warning signals are still flying Premier Ramader says French SOW ereignty is stake Above all else France dreads the hour of general strike.

Common Sense"
Cincinnati Enquirer

Common sense" is considered and properly so, we think to be a very complimentary pharse when applied to almost any The average concept ot 1t is that it means sense above the common. Sad to say, the consensus is that the common denominator of the public intelligence is low figure This inn pression is conveyed by the frequent assertions that the average intelligence of newspaper reader IS that of low teen-age school child and that of the average radio listener is considerably lower.

ABORIGINAL RIGHTS MEMORIAL

The House has passed and sent to the Senate House Joint Memorial No. p which asks the Gen. gress of the United States to enact the Bartlett bill which would extinguish aboriginal rights in Alaska by agreement followed probably by cash payments.
 This memorial should he amended to urge Dele gate Bartlett to withdraw his bill n the light of recent decision handed down by the Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco which decision states that whatever aboriginal rights the natives of Alaska may have had were extinguished at the time of the Pur chase.
 For this reason it doesn't make sense for the Territory to ask Congress recognize aboriginal rights in the light of this favorable court decision which has been the first ray of hope this troublesome situation since the whole idea cooked up back in Wash ington by several long-haired legal wizards under former Secretary of the Interior Harold L.

COP Congressman Landis of Indiana is a vigorous champion of increased teachers salaries. His pay bill calls for a Federal payment of $200 annually to every elementary and high school teacher. Senator George Aiken of Vermont is leading the fight to retain a S15,000 fund for lunches for school children in the Federal budget - previously dropped by economizers in the House. He be- lieves that the nation should not eccnomize at the expense of it's fu- ture citizens. Two ladies clutch ing passes to the Senators gallery asked the doorkeeper: Is this where you go in to see the Senators perform" Secretary of the Treasury John Snyder, long leud- ist with Bob Hannegan, has turned over a new leaf Snyder now tele- phones Hannegan before making speaking trips.

 Greece also needs currency sta- bilization. The LIN has a huge sta bilization fund established for the very purpose of stabilizing foreign currencies.

government. As long as British troops dominate Greece the result is like ly to be the same; continued tur- moil-which plays right into the hands of Soviet agents.
 As set forth in this column point by point last week, the British La bor government is now paying for Winston Churchills policy-a policy based on kings, bluster, phrase making-and lend lease tanks. Churchill's errors cannot be undone overnight. It will take surgical operation
 Locking for tie remedy history shows that one of the very suc- cessful reconstruction jobs perform ed by the cid League of Nations was in Greek Macedonia where the trouble-making Turkish population was removed, and where Greeks were taken from Turkish Anatolla and resettled in Macedonia. Pre- viously there had been constant friction between the two countries. After the League performed this surgical operation, Greece and Tur- key became good friends.
 Today the old League of Nations, feeble and inefficient, is gone. Its nlapa has heen taken by a new United Nations on which millions of people pin their hopes for a future warless world. And the big question now is: will we circum- vent the United Nations until it becomes weak and vitiated, or will We let it perform the peace-paving jobs for which it was formed and constituted?

LESSON FROM LATIN AMERICA

One of the great lessons learned from our Pan-American relations is the importance of teamwork. Prior to the good-neighbor policy we worked as an individual nation. We landed troops in Haiti, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic. We banged Mexico over the head with diplomatic threats and mobilized troops on her border. Result: All Latin America disliked US.
 Then Sumner Welles sold Roose- welt the idea of being a good neighbor, Of sharing responsibility So when trouble arose in the west ern hemisphere, the Pan-American nations solved it as team. Result: fewer mistakes were made and when they were made Uncle Sam didn't get all the blame.
 The British empire, hitherto has operated Cn a unit basis. It didn't worry about teamwork. Result: it is hurriedly liquidating parts Of the empire and reaping bitter criticism in Palestine and Greece. Further result: the United States is asked to share the financial responsibili- ties-and the headaches-in one of those countries without having too much to say about the things that cause the headaches.
 If we become the bankers for British headaches, the pain and the blame can extend to Turkey, Italy, North Africa, and all over the world. That's why we should take a leaf from the Pan-American good-neighbor book and let the United Nations get busy in Greece before it is too late.

 However, General MacArthur has shown that the veto power works both ways and that where Anglo American forces have the upper hand, the veto keeps the Russians in their place.
