Stor Staff Correspondent

BELEM, Brazil, Sept. 1.-Pres-
ident Truman arrived here this
morning after little more than
four hours flight from Trinidad.
His plane, the independence, was
refueled here for the 1,5OO-mile
flight over jungles to Rio de
Janeiro.
The President was warmly greet
ed during his overnight stop at
Waller Field, Trinidad, on his way
to Rio for an historic appearance
tomorrow at the windup of the
Inter-American Defense Conference.
The speech Mr.. Truman will de-
liver just before the signing of the
defense pact is ready and figures to
be major pronouncement. 1t will
be the third time the President has
addressed an international gather
ing, twice having gone before United
Nations meetings,
His 10-hour flight will take him to
Rio de Janeiro at 2 o'clock (EDT
this afternoon. The President
landed in Trinidad between tropical
doWnpours at 4:50 pm. yesterday,
seven hours and 40 minutes from
Washington. It Was the first flight in
the eagle-beaked independence and
Mr.. Truman inspected the plane and
said he enjoyed its performance.
With pressurized cabin it flew at
10000 feet and the passengers got a
good view of Puerto Rico en- route,
the only land sighted after leaving
Cape Hatteras. The Independence
landed at Waller Field, American
wartime installation 27 miles from
Port of Spain. American troops
and the Trinidad colonial police
turned out to render honors as Mr..
Truman stepped from the plane
with his wife and Margaret.
The rest of the party following
was greeted by Gov Sir John Shaw
and Lady Shaw with American and
British Army and Navy officers.
The President made introductions
all around and then inspected the
guard to the tune of the Missouri
Waltz played by te-helmeted
and jacketed police band. The Tru-
mans then were driven to the Jungle
House, home Of Col A. ]. Becker,
comma anding nearby Fort Read,
where they were quartered.

Doctor Dep|ores Lack
OF Sex Law 10 Commit
Offenders 10 Hospital
GoIIineer Psyehiotrist
Says Light Jail Terms
Fail to Meet Need

Many sex offenders who should
have been sent to mental hospi-
tails for indefinite periods have
been sent to jail for short terms
or paid light fines because of the
narrowness of the Districts COM
mitment law, DR.. Joseph Gilbert,
chief psychiatrist of Gallinger
Hospital, said today.
DR.. Gilbert said the only persons
he could legally recommend for
commitment under District laws
were those suffering from uncontrol-
liable impulses or major psychoses.
AS a result, he said, he has exam
ined good many" sex offenders
and reported them legally "of sound
mind" although he considered they
should have been committed to a
mental hospital as potentially
dangerous"
The United States Attorney is
now working on a perversion statute
which would include a section pro-
viding commitment to mental hos
pital for sex psychopaths.
Offenses Are Repeated.
Dr.. Gilbert said there is nothing
in the law now which makes it pos
sible to recommend commitment for
these offenders. Included among
them are men who repeatedly as
sault children or perform other in
decent acts.
The sex psychopaths, Dr. Gilbert
said, have never been in category
where they could be committed
Some of them should be committed
Their behavior is extremely unpre-
dictable and in many cases eX-
tremely dangerous. Without ques-
ton, the pattern of their offenses is
repeated over and over again.
He cited the case of a youth sent
to Jail for rape Just before the
youths prison term was over, he
was sent to Gallinger Hospital for
mental examination. Despite the
narrowness of the law. DR.. Gilbert
tried to get the youth committed
to a mental hospital When he
failed, the youth was released With
in'24 hours. the youth was arrested
again on several new charges OF
rape.
Cites Lack of Commitments.
In another case, DR.. Gilbert said
he tried and failed to commit a
man. Shortly afterward. the mar
masqueraded as hospital orderly
entered the room of a small gir
patient and attempted to attack
her. After that, DR.. Gilbert sue
ceeded in getting the man COM
mitted for alcoholic psychosis.
For the last two years. the Law
has provided for certain types O.
offenders to be sent to Gallingel
Hospital for 80 days for menta
examination before trial. DR.. Gil.
bert pointed out that this is dis.
cretionary with the judge and hi
doesn't see anywhere near all the
sex offenders who come into court
Thirty days, he added, is hardly
time enough to do anything bu
classify the man as legally of soune
or unsound mind. There is no lega
recognition that a man might bt
legally of sound mind but medically
sex deviate There is not time al
all to determine whether a mar

Surrounded by myth by primitive
peoples, the mistletoe was taken
over by Christians who also wove
fanciful legends around it. --
In ancient mythology, the mis-
tletoe was the instrument of evil.
The Druids of Britain believed the
plant possessed healing powers, 9th
er primitive people thought that mis-
tletoe found growing on oaks had
magical powers.
Taken over into Christian tradi-
ton, the mistletoe was dedicated to
the Christ Child. Adopted as SYM
bolical Of the healing power Of
our Lord, it was used to adorn the
affairs at Christmas. Monks Of the
monasteries called 1t the wood Of
the cross and attributed supernat-
ural powers to it. The white berries
were said to reflect the radiance
caught from the guiding star when
the Wise Men were led to the
manger.

AFTERMATH OF DEFEAT

Most of the city's inhabi-
tants found the way on foot
Ia unheated and unlighted
offices and back again to
cold meals in cold houses"
The city referred TO in the
above sentence is Vienna,
where lack of gas and coal
has closed the schools, the
alters and movies. Moreover,
the tardy arrival of relief
shipments threatened a re-
duction of the 1850 calorie
rations during the period of
extreme cold, with all indus
try shut down except that
supplying food.
We call attention to the
plight of the people of Vien-
ma, because their present
condition reveals one of the
costs of unsuccessful war
fare.

ITALY ASKS FOR HELP

Premier Alcide de Gasperi.
of Italy. who is visiting the
United States for the pur-
pose of securing aid for his
country, now suffering the
tragic heritage of warfare,
contends that his country
had the right to lead in
opening the way to a reduc-
ton of tariffs so as to pro-
vide stable commercial in
tercourse" in the world.
The Italian Premier also
suggested that nations with
"excess labor" should have
the right to send their work
erS where labor can be abb
sorbed. He said this point
was of particular Importance
to his country and that the
example of the United States
might be decisive.
We are somewhat inciin-
ed to the belief that the
peace of the world, if it is to
be permanent must give to
all nations and all peoples
the right to sell their prod
ucts' either of service or of
goods, upon terms of equal
ity with all other nations
throughout the earth.
There may be the neceS-
sity for considering certain
regulations in connection
with the exercise of this fun
damental economic right
without which there will be
no assurance of eventual
abolition of the fear of want.

UNARMED POLICEMEN

Many Americans, in Wis
ting London, are amazed
that policemen do not carry
EeNOlvers but are armed on
N with clubs.
During the Christmas hol-
days, something of a sensa-
uon for Londoners was the
shooting of a policeman in
The eve. He was wounded
while hunting a man, who
pulled a revolver and began
shooting when accosted on
the street.
The London dispatch says
that over one hundred po-
licemen were in pursuit of
the armed fugitive and that
the hunt occupied over an
hour a. police, armed only
with clubs. searched the
roofs of many buildings for
the suspect.
Our understanding is that
the police record of London
seems To indicate the lack
of firearms does not cause
the death of many police
men. Whether this is correct,
or not. however, one must
admire the courage of I'M
armed officers who go out to
aprehend Il revolVer-carry-
ing criminal who has already
shown a willingness to shoot.

FAT AND LEAN YEARS

CO ldI dS tilC my W w
taxpayer is concerned, the
agreement of the city COM
missioners TO take care of
eight of nine INDECENT cases
in Monroe county was. very
much like paying the money
out of your left instead OF
your right pocket.
Had the county continued
to take care of the indigents.
Key West taxpayers would
have paid 80 per cent of the
amount involved. Under the
present arrangements, they
pay one-fifth more than they
had been paying.
Reason for that is, owners
of real estate in Key West
pay go percent of the taxes
in the county. So the switch
from county to the city. in
caring for the eight indig-
ents, did not make much diff
ference. so far as providing
the cash was concerned.
But what is of much con-
Germ to the people of Key
West was the statement,
made at the joint meeting
of city and county commits
sioners, that many thousands
of dollars are now paid by
city and county in providing
means for a livelihood for
persons who are unable to
take care of themselves. As
that is 80 now, when business
continues to be fairly good,
what will be the extent of
indigency in Key West
should we unfortunately
have hard times again?
Because The Citizen is
aware that hard times are
recurrent throughout the
world, editorial after editor
ial was published during the
war, calling on city and
county commissioners to be
eircumspect in their spend
ing while collecting the
largest amount of taxes in
the history of each subdivi-
sion.
But the advice was un-
needed: the more money the
commissioners collected the
more they spent. We also
pointed out, in connection
with our 10-Year-Ago col
nmn, that it was something
of an event in those days, SO
much SO it made news, when
the city ahdA county made
up payrolls to pay a part of
back salaries due employees.
A forecast, of what may
happen irf, Key Vests finan-
cial structure was given by
City Manager Ellingson at
the joint meeting when she
explained that the proposed
budget would have to be cut
$4,000 to bring it into the
revenue that will be avail
able in 1947, with the prob
ability that $4,000 more
may have to be used for un-
collected taxes this year.
He is a wise man and a
city is wise city that con-
serve in fat years as a pre-
caution against lean years.
