Red Tape in German Occupation Zone

travel permit was delayed. In any
event, the Army spokesman said, the
granting of such permits generally
takes between eight and 10 days.
Such delay is natural in the case
Of a businessman or newspaperman,
who first must be cleared by the
security services and whose business
is not very pressing. But in the case
of an attorney already cleared,
since he was appointed by the
court itself. the delay is hardly
understandable, particularly since
Won Weiszaecker's trial had already
begun.
The American prosecutor already
has launched his attack on the 6e-
fendant with a five-hour opening
statement. According to American
procedure, which governs the trials,
the defense attorney should be pres
ent when the prosecutor opens his
case. But Mr.. Magee is watching
| the case from Washington, since
AMG officers in Berlin have not yet
given him permission to discharge
his duties.
Entitled to Own Counsel.
The indictment paints the Ger
man diplomat as a black-hearted
criminal. This may be so. But
under American laws no man, re-
gardless how bad he may be, is
deemed guilty until found so by
legal process. Moreover, under Amer
ican procedure, the worst criminal
is entitled to be defended by a
lawyer of his own choice.
These are fundamental differ
ences between the law as it is
applied in English and American
courts and as it is applied by the
ltotalitarian states. In Soviet courts
the accused is considered guilty to
start with and the trial is mere
formality to decide the penalty.
Our military government In Ber-
lin, apparently enmeshed in red
tape, has not found it convenient
to reply to the cables of the Secre-
tary of the Army. The request to
permit Mr.. Magee to conduct the
defense for Won Weiszaecker was
sent week ago and American Off
cials In Berlin are aware that the
trial started January 5. They also
know that the presence of the at
torney In Nuremberg is essential, If
for no other reason than to preserve
America reputation for justice.

Bit on Imperfect Side.
One of the worst things about
owning home in Florida, or Cali
fornia, or Arizona, or any other re-
sort State in this country is that
the weather is variable-sometimes
nice, sometimes a bit on the imper-
feet side.
No creature, either two-legged or
four legged, is more unpleasant than
a visitor who reaches Florida when
cold snap is in progress. He bares
his fangs like a mamma puma de-

growls and barks and snaps and in
general sounds like a zoo when
feeding is delayed.
We have a guest at the moment.
She is Mrs. Molly Hart of New York.
It was a bit cold when she arrived,
but Jean and I never thought for
moment that Molly would mind.
After all, Molly was the first woman
ever to skipper a boat around the
world. She made 1t in a 72-foot

two years ago at the age OF 81, and
had dropped in on us in her own

weather. a slight bit of chill in an
un-steam- heated house wouldn't
bother Molly.
But she is like all the rest.
Shivers and Shakes.
She shivers and shakes, and COM

she makes snide remarks about our

Naturally, all of this caused us
heartache and dismay. We prayed
for hot, scorching weather. When
it didn't come we came to the con-

On the Other Hand
Vandenberg Faces Old Guard
Of Isolationism in Battle for ERP

A round dozen "isolationist" votes.
This record was duplicated by
Representative Harold Knutson Of
Minnesota, now chairman Of the
Ways and Means Committee.
Representative Charles A. Hal
.leck of Indiana, now Republican
floor leader, departed from the pat
tern only slightly. He voted against
the first lend-lease bill, but sup
ported the appropriation for it and
voted for the second lend-lease bill.
Representative Clarence j. Brown
of Ohio, member Of the Rules Com
mittee, and Senator Taft's political
manager, voted the same as Mr..
Halleck.
Representative B. Carroll Reece Of
Tennessee, no longer in the House,
but chairman of the Republican
National Committee, followed the
same line, save that he voted for
the Guam Naval base appropriation.
Representative Joseph w. Martin
of Massachusetts,, now Speaker,
made his own rather odd exceptions
He voted for conscription, but
against extension of the draft. The
latter proposal, less than four
months before Pearl Harbor. missed
defeat by just one vote-203 to 202.
Mr. Martin had lined up all but 81
of the Republicans against it. He
voted, however, for the first lend
lease appropriation, the ship-seizure
bill and the second lend-lease bill.
Taber Feared.
Representative John Taber Of
New York, now chairman of the
Appropriations Committee, is as
feared in this field as any member
of the House, but chiefly because of
his conviction that all appropri-
ations are too large. His prewar
record includes votes for both the
conscription bills, the first lend
lease appropriation, the second
lend lease bill and belligerent zone
restrictions. Just now he appears to
rbe less convinced than some others
concerning Europe's great need. ~ :
The men named are truly power
full in the House. Their urge toward
isolation is obviously strong. What
Senator Vandenberg. with the as
sistance of Mr.. Eaton, can do with
them is uncertain.
In the Senate there is Mr.. Taft
There are others, of course, but Mr..
Taft is the key. He voted almost
100 per cent against the Roosevelt
preparedness program.
But, save for the armed ship bill
SO did Mr.. Vandenberg!
