Bunch Case Fiusco

The only reason for reopening the in
quest into the death of John Forrest
Bunch was that the family seemed to
want it. AS unusual as such proceeding
might be, it was considered legal and no
objection was anticipated. Its chief value
would be to introduce under oath and in
public any new evidence obtained by three
separate Investigations and to review testi
mony already given. But objection by
counsel for the family has adjourned the
reopened inquest. So that approach is
closed
The Department of Justice has been in
vestigating the case for weeks. using the
services of the FBI. Its findings were held
up in order not to embarrass the coroner's
jury There is no reason to hold them up
any longer. If the Department of Justice
uncovers the slightest evidence of wrong
doing by the police or anybody else, con-
scientious United States attorney will be
only too anxious to make a presentment
to the grand jury. If it does not, it should
dispose of all the insinuations regarding
police brutality and negligence which have
kept the case alive.

Exit the Cog Rule

Veterans Administrator Bradley has
shown good sense in canceling the highly
Objectionable security order which classi-
fled as confidential" any information
likely to cause administrative embarrass-
ment" The mystery is why he allowed it
to remain in force as long as he did. For
the provision on its face was an invitation
to bureaucratic abuses. 1t constituted a
potential Iron curtain" of censorship
covering administrative inef1ciency or
other shortcomings which the public is
entitled to know about. if they exist.
The whole set of security rules of which
the administrative embarrassment" pro-
viso was part should never have been
adopted by the Veterans Administration in
the first place. The agency misinterpreted
as a directive a proposed guide for the
classification of departmental documents
as top secret" secret" "confidential' and
Restricted" This tentative guide, as
originally drawn up, contained the ILL
advised proviso designed to protect the
various agencies and their officials from
Embarrassment" After criticism by the
press, including the American Society of
Newspaper Editors, the original draft was

purged of the undesirable phraseology
The regulations had been adopted in full
by the VA, however, in advance of their
presentation to the President for approval
The VA order was rescinded late yester-
day after publication by The Star of a
news story revealing that the regulations,
although still lacking White House
approval, remained in effect at the agency.
1t reflects no credit on VA security officials
that the order was allowed to stand until
yesterdays story appeared. Why the
Veterans Administration, "nonsensitive'
agency if there ever was one, requires any
rules whatever for classifying its papers
as secret or confidential Is hard to under
stand. Ordinary administrative regulations
restricting disclosure of personal records
of veterans were sufficient for its purposes
in past years. There is no reason why they
will not suffice in the future.

increase remain unexplained after an evalua-
ton Of all known factors further studies will
be undertaken. 1t Is from such hints that
lunches arise which may expand into new
scientific frontiers: however, scientists note
books are cluttered with suggestive hints and
lunches that have led only to blank walls.
There have been times in mans history when
the opinions Of laymen provided fruitful and
far-reaching results. Almost without exception
these have been times OF excessive stability
when thought was confined within the narrow
limits Of authority. It hardly seems a pro-
pitious time to impute short sight or ignorance
to q group of men who recently have accom-
plished the impossible.
The last paragraph Of Mr.. Webbs letter
would constitute libel if it were not developed
on such flimsy fabric. Every public word and
action of the scientific profession indicates its
sincere effort to direct atomic energy toward
humanitarian purposes. Unfortunately, the
problems of world politics show no promise of
being yielded to the methods Of the scientists

to rest with the Creator" invoked by Mr.
Rentfro. If in the meanwhile, either for reason
of personal gain or patriotism, the scientists
find themselves devoted to providing the
means Of protection for their country they are
only acting in the example of illustrious men
Of every age and land.

PROGRESS in the Air

Howard Hughes controversial flying
boat may not, in itself, be worth all the
millions that have been spent on it. But
the fact that he has flown 1t successfully
has great significance in terms of the
future of aviation. BY far the largest air
craft ever built-an eight-engined, 200
ton giant designed to carry up to TOO
passengers-it has proved itself at least to
the extent of showing that it works,
whether it does so economically or not.
In turn, that strongly suggests that the
day is coming when such ships will be a
more or less common sight in the sky.
AS far as commercial aviation is con-
cerned, this prospect may be remote. Our
military establishment, however, although
it says it does not want his flying boat, has
every reason to show the keenest interest in
Mr.. Hughes success. More than few of our
air-minded experts - including General
Arnold, former chief of the AAF-have
freely predicted the development of great
sky-riding armies, and the giant Hughes
craft certainly lends powerful support to
them Given a fleet of such planes-each
capable of carrying 700 men-any nation
obviously would have mighty striking
force that would add something new and
deadly to the grim art of warfare.
The aviation age still is young. The
news about Mr.. Hughes fight has come
at the same time as an announcement by
our Air Force that the P-S4 "Thunderjet''
has successfully passed firing tests of its
six guns and now is fully qualified" for
effective conohat at SpeedS in excess of 6ff
miles an hour. We are in a new epoch,
with more wonders to come. Mans genius
is fertile The march of progress goes on.
The pity is that it is frightening as we'll as

Turkey Bells

Half century ago before turkey raising
became scientific commercial proposition
with heated apartments, hot and cold
running water cod liver oil and vitamin
pills, many general farms had flock of
a score or two of birds Turkey hens
Matched the eggs and mothered their
chicks. One of the paradoxical points
about turkeys is that the little ones are
very hnicky and susceptible to cold and
rain When it looked like shower all the
family hustled to get the youngsters under
cover But once the turkeys have their
feathers they can stand cold and rain and
snow without Ill results.
In former days the turkey flocks wan
dered all over the farm. Ten or twelve
year-old boys accepted as routine the job
of tending the turkeys. The long-legged,
bright-eyed birds liked to wander over the
meadows, pasture and upland fields for
grasshoppers and bugs. They circled into
the woods and when the beechnuts fell,
after the first killing frost, the turkeys
fattened on the rich sweet meats. Thus 1t

Concerning King Mihai of Romania

Concerning King Mihai of Romania
To the Editor of The Star:
The Star on October % published an article
signed by Constantine Brown, saying: King
Mihai of Romania is expected to vacate throne
before end of year"
The authors assertions-which we cate
goricaly deny-are based upon the following
statement, namely: His mother, Dowager
Queen Helen is already in Switzerland. and
is making approaches to British and American
Governments to determine whether her son
would be accer: ed as an emigre in either of
those countries"
Two quotations only of the American press
are suficient to prove the groundessness OF
Mr.. Browns article:
/. The Associated Press distributed on Oc-
tober Is the following cable from its cor
respondent in Bucharest: King Michael, 26
years old today spent his birthday with Queen
Mother Helen at Savarsin Castle in Transyl-
vania"

Czech TWILIGHT

The current parliamentary crisis at
Prague portends another long step toward
the loss of Czechoslovakia's liberties as
that country falls increasingly under the
shadow of the Kremln.
This latest difficulty arose from an
attempt by the Communist leader, Prime
Minister Klement Gottwald, virtually to
nullify the parliamentary system by bring
ing into the National Council. represent
atives of organizations which are not
represented in Parliament, notably the
Czech and Slovak trade-unions They are
notoriously under Communist control.
Such notification was vigorously opposed
by three important political groups,
headed by the Czech National Socialist
Party. ranking second in Parliament after
the Communists and priding itself on
being the party of President Benes, the
aging link with the great tradition of
Founding Father Masaryk and his liberal
democratic ideal. When Gottwald insisted,
the protesters walked out of the meeting
leaving the field to the Communists and
the hesitant Socialists, who obviously had
no stomach for what was going on. If
persisted in, these abstentionS will Shatter
the National Front" coalition government
that has run Czechoslovakia since Czecho-
slovakias liberation from Nazi rule.
The question, however, is whether this
courageous action will amount to more
than a gesture, perhaps precipitating a
Communist coup d'etat. Everything would
seem to indicate that Moscow has decreed
the speedy elimination of any organized
tic
curtain" The Communists already control
the Army, the police, and other vital
branches of the administration. They have
just struck vigorously at the anti-Com-
munist Slovak Democratic Party, the ma
jority group in the Slovak portion of the
Republic, with the usual charges Of
Fascist conspiracy, and the indications
are that the Czech National Socialists are
slated for similar fate. Anyhow, If non
parliamentary organizations are admitted
into Che National Council, Parliament it
self ceases to have much meaning. And
the labor groups slated for admission by
Gottwald are preparing to enforce the
demand by calling a general strike which
could paralyZe the country's economic life.
This by-passing of the parliamentary
system appears to be new wrinkle in
Communist tactics. But it is another
example of how the Communists stick at
nothing to gain power extra-legally if they
cannot get it by legal methods And it
reveals more clearly than ever Moscows
determination to control absolutely every
country within its sphere. Czechoslovakia
has hitherto been sort of Show-piece to
which Communist propaganda could point
as an example of how country in friend
ly understanding" with Moscow could run
its own show Henceforth, that mask will
have to be discarded.
