whom America and Britain maintain for
NAL diplomatic relations.
The report brought out by the Polish
peasant leader is strong indictment Of
the utter ruthlessness, cynical amorality
and defiant bad faith practiced by the
puppet regime in Warsaw-which is merely
one of the similar regimes dominated by
Moscow and carrying out its orders. Those
regimes were, of course, set up and are now
maintained in hagrant breach by Moscow
of precise agreements entered into by
Soviet Russia with the western powers.
1t is this which renders the Mikolajczyk
episode not only an indictment OF Moscow
and its stooges, but of Washington and
London as we'll. Whatever practical justi-
fication there may have been for western
policy of "appeasement" of Moscow during
the war, continuation of that policy since
then has had no such excuse. The facts
behind this latest incident reveal only too
clearly the falsity of craftsmanship"
which began with the lofty pronounce
ments of the Atlantic Charter and then,
by a series of surrenders of principle, ends
in both moral and political bankruptcy.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Like many of Arlington's citizens, have
had the opportunity in recent weeks Of enjoy
ing the speeches by county and State candi-
dates at local citizens association meetings.
One repeated theme continues to annoy me-
several Of the candidates appear to believe
that their having been "born" in Arlington, and
having lived here "all their lives in itself
gives them some particular virtue, or some
special insight into our local problems.
have lived here for 10 years; the majority
Of the population has moved here since that
time The problems Of our county are almost
altogether those created by this increase in
population. 1t Is the whole population of the
county which needs the schools which needs
streets, health and sanitary facilities, an
incinerator. AL these problems of an expand
ing city area are certainly more nearly like
those Of other cities OF comparable size than
are like the problems which confronted Arling-
ton 10 or 40 years ago. Why, then, aren't
citizens who have come here from other
communities better able to help plan for our
community's future than those who are think

Operation MikoIuiczyk'

The manner in which Stanislaw Miko-
lajczyk escaped from Poland is another
striking instance of how truth has be-
come stranger than fiction in this topsy-
turvy world of ours. II novelist or play
wright had thought up parallel drama, it
would probably have been criticized as too
fancifully imaginative.
Consider the plot of this story, as told by
Mr.. Mikolajczyk. The head Of legalized
political party gets word that he and his
chief lieutenants have been condemned to
death in advance by the government OF his
country, regardless Of the evidence, after
farcical trial before a special tribunal.
Unwilling to be "shot and killed like a
sheep" and also fearing they might be the
cause Of more bloodshed among their loyal
adherents, these predoomed men are
rescued via an underground railroad"
worked in part by American and British
intelligence agents. This underground"
was not set up specially for Mikolajczyk's ;
party. 1t functions regularly to pluck from
behind the "iron curtain" prominent SCI
entists, scholars, technicians, politicians
and other personalities who appeal for aid
and are deemed worthy of assistance by
the western powers. And all this Is being

Profreedom Offensive
To the Editor Of The Star

To the Editor Of The Star
Your editorial on General Clay's forthcoming
profreedom offensive In Germany is a welcome
recognition Of the fact that propaganda must
be positive, not negative, to succeed If the
United States military government can convey
to the German people an understanding OF even
q few benefits which most Americans enjoy as
their natural prerogative, we shall have by far
the most effective antidote to the Communist
attacks on our way of life.
Americans cannot afford to pretend how
ever, that the present system is without its
grave naws and inequities. The Presidents
Committee on Civil Rights has recently exposed
some of the most glaring injustices to minority
groups, injustices which seriously prejudice our
claim to the democracy we uphold. BY refusing
to change the present situation we are building
up bad win in every part Of the globe-par-
ticularly among the colored races in Asia and
Africa.
No drastic change has ever been made which
does not antagonize the special interests OF
certain groups. We must decide as Nation
whether those groups who object to the proposed
legislation to enforce the maintenance Of civil
rights are more important than the millions
Of people In all parts OF the world to whom
we are trying to sell democracy.

Stands Up for Psychiatrists
To the Editor Of The star

TO the Editor Of The Star:
From time to time there have appeared
on The Stars editorial page attacks on psy-
chiatrists and psychiatry by obviously unin-
formed persons often have wondered why at
least one member Of the profession hasn't risen
in defense. Then I recalled statement which
had been made about the psychoanalyst under
whom I had been undergoing treatment. He
calmly brushed it aside as inconsequential and
indicated that psychiatrists are accustomed to
remarks of that kind.
Needless to say, there are inadequately
trained psychiatrists as well as butchers and
bakers and candlestick- makers. However, the
individual has the privilege Of seeking recon-
mendations from many sources before seeking
the services Of any one. This is discussed in
Are You Considering Psychoanalysis?" by

eating, and many ex-patients can testify as to

Our Out-of-Town Voters

There are several reasons why pro-
portion of Washington residents maintain
State domicile for voting purposes.
One is, the normal desire Of any Amer
lean to retain his status as voting citizen
Another Is the sincere intent by many
civil servants to return to their native
States after completion of Government
service in Washington, which for some of
them is temporary.
But aside from these considerations
Congress has added incentives to retention
of State domicile. One Is the vicious
apportionment- of offices law, under which
Federal jobs are distributed as spoils on
the basis of population. A Federal employe
may feel it to be essential protection to
retain his State residence, in order to
remain within the Job allotment OF his
State. Under the discriminatory local
income tax law, citizens of a State living
In Washington if Federal employees, enjoy
an exemption from this local tax.
There Is no good reason, as the Auchin-
Gloss committee argues, why these resi-
dents Of the States who live in Washington
for year or longer should not participate
In local elections in the District without
prejudicing their State voting rights. The
Star believes it would be deSirable-pro-
vided that they assume the taxpaying
obligations of District residents when they
become voters in District elections. Repre-
sentation without taxation for any sizable
group of the local population would be as
great an evil as taxation without repre-
sentation.
There would be a danger to local tax
payers in sharing with nonlocal taxpayers
a voice in the raising and expenditure OF
local revenue. While the States may have
no objection II their residents living in
Washington take part in municipal elec-
tions here, the people of Washington want
to be sure that Congress will couple
tax-paying obligation for these residents
with this privilege.
This is one question that the Auchin-
Gloss committee will examine in detail
before it completes its now preliminary
report on home rule. 1t may be taken for
granted that its examination of this and
other questions raised in the proposal for
home rule will be thorough and fair. The
committee staff, George B. Galloway and
Clarence M. Pierce, have demonstrated in
their preparation of the preliminary report
the advantages to a congressional COM
mittee OF expert, professional assistance.
Borrowed from the Legislative Reference
Service by the District Committee, this
staff has done a workmanlike job in
putting together fine report, logical and
well conceived.

of Moscow-an implied threat as to what
will befan all Czechoslovakia If the Krem-
Inns directives are not obeyed. The Slo-
vaks have thus been waging losing battle
And there would seem to be little doubt
as to the eventual outcome, since Moscow

vast area behind the Iron Curtain" Yet
the Slovaks are stubborn folk. Even though
suppressed, they will form one more
element of rebellious discomfort which
will potentially weaken an imposed uni

the pathology of alcoholism are agreed that,
as a social disease, it is scarcely manageable
within the existing framework Of our hospitals
and courts. It calls for . therapy so involved
and protracted that 1t would bankrupt the
budget Of the most af1uent municipality.
That the public is alert to the significance Of
this problem is attested by the popularity Of
such novels as "I.he Lost Week End" and Mrs.
Murphy; not to mention the plethora Of
macabre autobiographies of allegedly rehabili-
tated tipplers. Fortunately, the mass response
to this literature bespeaks an awareness that
the drunk as sick person has a legitimate call
upon the humanity Of the community. This
call hardly will find an adequate solution un-
til current legal administrative practice is har-
monized with modern scientific concepts Of
alcoholism. JULIUS DAVIDSON.

And Now SIovukiu

The forced resignation of the Slovak
semi-autonomous administration under
Communist pressure Is an event OF ominous
import, not only for the slovaks but also
for the Czech portion of the country which
bears their joint name.
Divergencies between Czechs and Slo-
vaks constituted one Of the chief weak
nesses of the nation set up as Czecho-
slovakia after World War !. The two
peoples are basically one in blood, Ian
guage and culture, but their historic
developments have been different. The
Czechs were connected with Germanic
Central Europe, whereas the Slovaks were
incorporated with Hungary. Those polit-
ical divergencies were reinforced by geo.
graphical and economic considerations
The Czechs look westward, whereas slo-
vakia forms part of the Danube valley
Between the two areas lies belt OF
mountainous highland which, even In
these days of railways and highroads, is
q barrier to economic fusion.
How to weld these kindred stocks into
q psychological unity was the prime task
OF President Masaryk and the other
nation builders after World War I gave
them their opportunity. The slovaks
demanded complete parity, although they
were less numerous, less wealthy, and less
advanced culturally than> the Czechs.
Failure to obtain parity in practice led to
a movement for autonomy which the
Czechs. deemed dangerous to national
unity. The autonomists got their chance
when Hitler disrupted Czechoslovakia, and
Slovakia became a puppet state of the
Third Reich. Taught by sad experience,
the leaders OF liberation accorded the
Slovaks a large measure of autonomy
which might, under other circumstances,
have closed the nationalistic rift.
However, the nationalist problem was
now cross-cut by another issue This was
communism. Czechoslovakia emerged from
World War II overshadowed by the power
of Soviet Russia Furthermore, commu-
nism was strong among the Czechs. But
1t had little hold upon the conservative
minded, intensely religious Slovaks, most Of
whom are small land-holding peasants.
So, in the elections which determined the
postwar government the Communists did
Communists won out in Slovakia.
This infuriated the Communists, who
vowed from the first that this condition
would not be tolerated. Slowly but surely,
Communist pressure has frightened, first
on the central government and then on
the semi i-autonomous slovak administra-
ton. Behind these local Communist tac-

McNubb Case Modification

Two decisions this week by the United
States Court of Appeals have strength
ened the rights of the police under the
Supreme Courts much-debated McNsbb
case ruling of 1943. In its original broad
implications that ruling prevented police
from making use of a voluntary confession
unless given after prompt arraignment
of the prisoner. A confession In the
McNabb case, given prior to arraignnent
was thrown out on the ground that the
prisoner had been illegally detained.
The new appellate rulings follow the
line of the Supreme Courts own nberaliz-
ing of its McNabb stand in deciding the
Mitchell case. In the latter case the high
court, while holding to its position that
any undue delay in arraignment for the
purpose of obtaining a confession is
unlawful, conceded that voluntary con-
fession obtained in advance OF arraign-
ment might be valid If otherwise admis-
sible. The Court of Appeals applied this
principle in the cases of Horace U. Boone
and Jesse James Patton. convicted. re-
spectively, Of robbery and murder In
unrelated holdups. Both men were arrested
on Sunday and held until Tuesday morn
ing before being arraigned. Boone con-
fessed the day he was arrested and
Patton on the day after arrest. Attorneys
for both men contended their confessions
were invalid because they had been
illegally detained.
Chief Justice Groner of the appellate
tribunal, handing down the Boone deci-
sion, pointed out that the Mitchell case
ruling makes it plain that "inexcusable
detention for the purpose of extracting
evidence from the accused is both wrong
and unlawful" but that the detention of
itself "does not affect the admissibility of
the confession except in case IN which
it appears that the disclosure is induced
by It," And in the Patton case the Court
of Appeals held that although the police
acted wrongfully" in delaying Patton's
arraignment until Tuesday, the delay had
nothing to do with the prisoners confes-
sion on Monday night.
These rulings are helpful to police,
who, since the McNabb decision, have been
confused as to their legal authority to
receive confessions prior to arraignment
and use them as evidence. Hence, they
have been seriously handicapped in
enforcing the law. What constitutes
"excusable" delay in arraignment is yet to
be set forth by the courts in clear and
understandable language. Until this is
done the police will continue under a
handicap

Chaotic Automobile Market

The American Automobile Associations
protest against chaotic" conditions in the
new and used car markets is well founded,
as many motorists who have shopped IN
those markets can attest The AAA COM
plains of such practices as loading new
cars with unwanted accessories, refusal to
sell new car without trade-in, too low
trade-in allowances and sale of practically
new cars on used-car lots at prices above
new-car listings.
Not all dealers have resorted to these
sales methods. Some reputable dealers
have been victimized by customers who
placed their names on waiting lists for the
sole purpose of securing new cars for spec
ulative resale. These cars have been driven
a few blocks to a used-car lot. where, as
used cars" they carry price tags several
hundred dollars above new list price. AS
the AAA committee points out. all OF these
practices are within the law, but they have
engendered widespread resentment among
motorists
Reliable automobile dealers are as much
concerned over this "chaos" as the buying
public and the AAA. As spokesman for
a large automobile manufacturer warned
his dealers recently, the resentment of the
motoring public over being pushed around
in this era Of shortages may have serious
repercussions later on. Good will of the
public is a valuable asset in competitive
market. Dealers who resort to practices
today which are destructive of good will
may suffer when cars are plentiful and
buyers relatively scarce.
Unfortunately, there is no panacea for
today's conditions. The industry itself has
an obligation to keep its house clean But
as long as cars remain in acute demand
the inflated prices for bona flde used cars,
and for new cars disguised as used, are
likely to be with us. Only q return to
normal production can be expected to
eliminate the anomaly Of used cars priced
higher than new ones and the abuses
which such topsy-turvy situation in
vites.

Fancy Uniforms and Prestige

The return of fancy evening dress for
officers Of the armed forces is not likely to
be greeted with wave Of enthusiasm from
officer ranks. The cooked hats and gold
ace-swathed uniforms, replete with swords
and other paraphernalia, are notoriously
uncomfortable and expensive. But they
are impressive-and that is probably the
real reason behind Defense Secretary
Forrestals approval of formal dress for
state occasions.
President Truman is said to have noticed
the contrast between the service dress uni
forms of our military and naval officers
and the dazzling attire Of foreign officers
during his visit to Rio de Janeiro. Under
a 1910 order banning military and naval
full dress during World War II, United
States Army, Air Force and Navy officers
wear their regular service dress uniforms
even to the most formal evening functions.
The Navy authorized black bow ties as an
additional establishment Of the regular
blue uniform.
The American uniforms are exceedingly
drab in a company of elegantly garbed
foreign diplomats and military and naval

the majority could be interpreted as an
affront to the dignity of the host. And
prestige often is closely related to such
things as manners and dress. If a few
yards of colored braid and gold lace will
give our uniformed officers the "face" they
need to compete with foreign officers In
their assignments abroad, they should be
decorated forthwith.
Secretary Forrestal has made sensible
move In ordering study Of the advis-
ability Of one dress uniform for Army,
Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force officers.
Four different kinds of gaudy dress are
apt to be confusing even to persons sup
posed to be familiar with uniforms. Uni
fication of dress uniforms is fully as logical
as unification of the services that wear
them.
