Ii Still Stunds

AS our representative IN tne UnlLeo
Nations Security Council and as Mr..
Baruch's successor In the Atomic
Energy Commission, Mr.. Austin has
done well to make clear that the
United States does not propose to
water down its plan for control OF
the atom.
Ever since Mr.. Baruch's resigna-
ton, there have been seemingly in
formed reports suggesting that we
might modify our position to satisfy
Soviet objections to vetoless pun
ishment system. Considering that
the twelve-nation Atomic Energy
Commission-with Russia and satel-
lite Poland abstaining-has already
voted 10 to 0 in favor of our plan,
the idea of such modification makes
little sense on its face. Nevertheless
the rumors about it have been per- I
sistent enough to be disturbing. and
Mr.. Austin's clarification is particu-
larly timely and welcome for that
reason.
It may be that the United States,
in difference to the views of Russia
and other countries, may agree to
having the Security Council give
concurrent consideration to the
problem of atomic control and gen.
eral disarmament. But reports in
dicate that if this concession is
made, it will be conditioned on the
understanding that action on the
atom must have precedence over
action on other arms. In other
words, though it may agree to a
procedure under which A-weapons
and armed power in general would
be studied simultaneously, the
United States would still h0h to the
principle that the control of A-weap-
ons must be acted on first, the point
being that if there is no control in
this field, the effort to regulate con-
ventional armament will be largely
meaningless.
This procedural matter, which has
yet to be decided in the Security
Council, has no bearing. however, on
the control plan itself. The plan
still stands. MIR. Austin's reassur-
ances on that score should eliminate
all further rumors to the contrary.
The United States is not modifying
its views on these basic essentials:
A powerful, treaty-created world au-
thority, a vetoless supervisory and
inspection system, and an arrange
ment providing for the swift and
sure punishment of violators-an
arrangement under which the vio-
lators would be unable to protect
themselves by veto or otherwise.
These are the fundamentals of
real international control. They
constitute the heart of the American
plan as recommended by the Atomic
Energy Commission to the Security
Council. Even Russia has supported
the idea of vetoless supervisory
and inspection system, and it may
yet be prevailed upon to support
vetoless punitive machinery as 4well.
Regardless of the Soviet view, how
ever, the United States-through Mr..
Austin-can be expected to keep on
insisting on the essentials. Not to
do so would be to compromise the
whole effort to harness the atom
effectively for peace.

On the Record
By Dorothy Thomson

WARSAW.-That the real issue in the
recent Polish elections was the struggle
between the East and West was made
absolutely clear in a press conference
granted American, British and Russian
correspondents here by Jacob Berman,
Polish undersecretary Of state. He is
regarded as the governments chief
liaison with Moscow and its ablest
political brain.
His analysis Of election results, in
which the political parties now in con-
troll of the government claim about 80
per cent Of the seats, was a long bill
Of accusations against Peasant Party
Leader Stanislaw Mikolajczyks "er-
rors and stupidities." Chief among
these we're two. The first was that he
had connections with the underground,
and that through him connections
with 1t were maintained by Western
interests. The second asserted that
despite Mikolajczy pathetic state
ments that he supports the western
frontiers, it was secret to no one
that he looks toward those statesmen
abroad who have been questioning our
frontiers"
Asked to name the statesmen abroad
who have been questioning Polands
frontiers, Mr.. Berman, under pressure.
replied:
4 +
First, Winston Churchill, especially
since his Zurich speech advocating ..
United States Of Europe fMr. Churchill
never mentioned the Polish frontier in
that speech. It is well known that Mr..
Mikclajczyk enjoyed an intimate friend
ship with Mr.. Churchill.
Second. certain British Labor leaders
who welcomed the German Social
Democratic leader, Kurt Schumacher, to
London.
Third, ex-State Secretary James r.
Byrnes, who questioned the frontiers In
his Stuttgart speech"

Potomac OYSTER Feud

It looks as though the long
simmering Potomac oyster jurisdic-
tional feud is about to boil over. 1t
is quite likely that somebody will be
burnt unless things cool of.
The whole controversy really dates
back to Colonial days, when royal
grant gave to Maryland jurisdiction
of the Potomac River as far as the
high water mark on the Virginia
shore. Virginia never liked this ar
rangement from the first. 1t gave
Marylanders the right to refer to
the Potomac as "our river" Vir-
ginians early claimed fishing rights
in the river. In the exercise OF
these rights it was inevitable that
friction, at times fiaring into vio-
lence, should have arisen.
To settle these disputes, the two
States agreed that each would have
fishing rights in. the river, that GER
tain restrictions on these rights in
the interest of fish and oyster con-
servation would be imposed, and
that each State would try its own
citizens for violation of the restric-
tions. The provision that each State
should mete out justice to its respec-
tive law violators has proved to be
a continuing irritant, the virginians
feeling that sometimes the Mary
land courts were not stern enough on
Maryland rivermen and the Mary
landers being equally convinced that
Virginia justice was too lenient to-
ward Virginians.
Now the controversy is approach
ing climax as result of passage
by the Maryland Senate of a bill
which would give Maryland courts
the right to try Virginia fishermen,
crabbers and oystermen-as well as
Marylanders-who violate the con-
servation laws. This would mean, In
effect, repudiation by Maryland of
its ancient compact. Governor Tuck
OF Virginia, for one, is determined
that such unilateral amendment
of the compact would be null and
void and he has notified Governor
Lane of Maryland that Virginia will
refuse to recognize any such act.
There is much merit in Governor
Tuck's contention that the best way
to settle these interstate squabbles
is around the conference table. Such
a conference is planned for March
2S at Mount Vernon. The place for
the meeting is appropriate because
it was George Washington who was
largely responsible for the fishing
pact Of 17s5. Unless a mutual agree
ment is reached in calm, co-opera-
tive atmosphere, further misunder-
standings and i'll will unworthy Of
neighborss are inevitable.

RuroI Church Problem

The recent national convocation
In Des Moines on the church in town
and country was heartening in
.dication that interdenominational
rivalries in the rural field will give
way to unified, cooperative plan
of attacking this vital problem. 1t
was a challenge to Protestant
churches and lay readers to estab-
lish forward-looking programs to
counteract disintegrating values now
at work.
The 1000 delegates, representing
religious groups, farm organizations
and other societies interested in
rural life, heard the keynote struck
by Carl C. Taylor, head of the Di-
vision of Farm Population and
Rural Welfare of the Department of
Agriculture. He bluntly said that
religious and lay readers must face
the fact that the growing trend is
away from the farm.
The recommendations of the con-
vocation are in line with the think
ing of many progressive students of
our country-life problem. The con-
vocation did not attempt to sidestep
the vital issues facing country
churches. It recommended perma-
nent multidenominational churches,
exchange of fields so that every
church might have adequate re-
sources, federation of churches and
larger parishes. The convocation
frankly recommended that national
denominational mission boards cease
subsidizing sectarian work that re-
suited in stultifying competition IN
rural areas and get together IN q

cooperative system that win result
In q constructive program.
There Is no question Of the seri-
BUSINESS Of the situation. Unwise
competition among the churches is
a major factor in the decline of reli-
gious and social leadership. The
Nation needs strong churches in the
rural areas. It is critical part OF
the overall situation. For long
period many of the ambitious young
people of the rural regions have
looked to the cities for opportunities.
The Nations welfare requires a
strong, wholesome rural society. The
convocation was an indication that
our rural leaders are tackling vital
problems realistically and construc-
lively.

Dilemma at West Point

What to do about three of West
Points football stars-Glen Davis,
Felix Doc) Blanchard and Barney
Poole-is causing some concern to
those who must make the decision
for the War Department.
Their dilemma takes this form:
When the three young men went to
West Point, for an education costing
Uncle Sam about 5000 a year per
cadet, they accepted the usual
agreement to serve at least eight
years, four years before and after
graduation, if they chose later to
resign. Furthermore, they displaced
three other candidates who wanted
to go to West Point and, in getting
to West Point, they escaped the
draft. Have they received this
education at public expense only
to build up their regulations as
football players? But the circum-
stances which made these men such
outstanding football players and
presented them with rare CONNER
cial opportunities were, in a sense,
wholly beyond their control. The
system, public tastes and their own
combination of mental and physical
traits, gave them a unique notoriety,
made them worth fortune in the
markets of professional football.
Would it help the Army for the
Government to insist that they serve
out their terms as soldiers? Would
they make good Army officers If
compelled to turn down the chance
of a lifetime to capitalize on the
very qualities that made them such
assets at West Point? AS far as the
Governments money investment is
concerned, the Government would
recapture it several times over
through its taxes on their football
salaries.
There would seem to be only one
sensible solution-to grant them the
leaves they seek and let them play
football. If they want to stay in the
Army, and If the Army wants them
to stay-because of their qualities
of leadership-it will not be long
before the question can be decided
as to whether professional football
for four months of the year de-
creases their value Is Army oficers.
Evening star., 1947-01-31

and the United States, Mr. Berman made
an ironic reply. He said that its real
meaning was clear from the way the
speech was received by aggressive Ger
man elements who well understood its
import"
The governments Interpretation Of
MIR. Mikolajczyk's international attitude
is not, in this writer's opinion, in con-
formity with the facts.
In Washington in June, 1914, the
Polish Peasant Party leader negotiated
with President Roosevelt, who told me
SO at the time, over two matters. One
was that Mr.. Roosevelt attempt to keep
Lwow and its oil fields Polish, rather
than have them 60 to Russia. (The
it being the subject OF special repre-
sentations made to Premier Stain from
Mr. Roosevelt in October. ls44)
~
The other was that. however Poland's
western frontiers were fixed, the settle
ment should not be ambiguous, apd
should be guaranteed equally by the Big
Three. This would avoid any future
to whether Mr.. Mikolajczyk's attitude
a. thus described-was not statesmar-
like and whether Mr.. Berman himself
would disagree with it, no direct reply
was forthcoming. Later, In q private
conversation, it was denied by mem
Der Of the Polish Information Service
that Mr.. Roosevelt ever used his good
Offices In behalf Of Lwow's oil fields.
Under questioning, Mr.. German ex-
pressed the belief-which amounts to
q statement Of certainty-that Mr..
Mikolajczyk will be barred from the
next government. His party's influence.
as well as his own, obviously Is at an
end. Furthermore, 1t was clear from
Mr.. Berman,s statements that the govS
ernment regards its chief victory win
be the cutting on Of all political con-
nections With the West. Is,

II 1t does. then let them resign.
The precedent would not be danger
GUS unless the War Department
made it so-made it so, in other
cases, by putting such premium
on West Points football prowess
that football players, rather than
promising Army officers, get the
appointments.

McNobb Case Aquin

Inc McNaDD case continues Co
hamper law enforcement authorities
In the District of Columbia. Latest
of the many repercussions of the
Supreme Courts much debated
opinion that prisoners must be ar
raigned Immediately after their ar
rest has just occurred in District
Court. Two men who were convicted
of HOUSEKEEPING and larceny have
been freed as result of ruling by
the United States Court of Appeals
that even voluntary re-enactment
of a crime by a prisoner is of no
value unless he was taken before a
magistrate as soon as arrested.
The new ruling was made in the
case of Carl Akowsky, who, with an
other man, was arrested about pm.
on March 20, 1914, by police inves-
tigating the theft of large quantity
Of whisky from a restaurant in
Southeast Washington. The men
were taken direct to police head
quarters and booked on an open
charge. Police began to Question the
prisoners. About or $50 pm. the
arresting officers telephoned the
United States Commissioners office,
but received no answer to their ring.
The questioning continued until
about midnight, when, the court
stated, Akowsky made an oral con-
fession to the robbery. This confess
sion was reduced to writing and was
agreed to by the second defendant.
The Court of Appeals, in its deci-
sion, related that subsequent to the
confession, the pair was taken to the
restaurant, where they described to
the police officers and the proprietor
"how they had entered the premises
and pointed out correctly the place
from which the whisky had been
taken" On the basis of the confess
sion and the re-enactment of the
crime Akowsky was convicted in Dis
trict Court. He appealed the verdict
on the ground that the McNabb case
ruled out not only the confession but
the demonstration, since police had
failed to arraign him before start
ing the questioning. .-
What makes the latest interpreta-
ton of the McNabb ruling particu-
larly disturbing to the police is the
implicit contention of the Appellate
Court that the officers should have
taken the, prisoners direct from the
scene of arrest to the Commission
er's office or the Municipal Court,
instead of to police headquarters.
Under this theory police would have
no opportunity to develop their evi-
dence, check alibis, ETC., before tax
ing a prisoner before the magistrate
to be charged. This restriction
gravely hampers the police in carry
ing out their responsibilities to the
public and gives the prisoner ex-
traordinary advantage over the law
enforcement officer. There are times
When the prompt arrest OF a crlml-
nal known to be dangerous is essen
tial to protect the public, yet it would
be impracticable to arraign him
without some measure of prelimi-
nary investigation.
This is additional evidence of the
need for enactment of the Hobbs bill,
which would authorize the question
ing OF prisoners prior to arraign-
ment and thus end the multiplying
absurdities of the McNabb decision.
The bill has passed the House twice,
but failed of enactment in the rush
of closing Senate business. Congress
will render an invaluable service to
the cause of law enforcement by
passing this important measure.
