Housewives from Progressive

Wallace committees this Thurs
day engaged in city-wide mass
demonstrations protesting the
outrageous prices of meat.
And as the Wallaceite anti
initiation campaign in Chicago
rolled up steam, a Chicago. Sun
survey revealed that meat sales
had dropped as much as sou in
some Chicago butcher shops.
Varied and colorful Progress
sive picket signs emphasized that
the housewives target is neither
the farmer nor the corner
butcher, but the big packer,
whose net profits last year aver
aged 1927 above 1899.
The ward demonstrations diff
fered according to the ingenuity
of the SO ward ''Beat High Cost
of Living" committees. Buggy
parades were featured in some
places, while in many wards,
protesting housewives distributed
thousands of leaflets featuring
the slogan-"No meat for me till
prices come down"

The federal grand jury which

John Abt, national counsel for
the Progressive party, charged
here.
Abt who spoke at the found

based his charge on his own ex-

before the grand jury in New

Abt said he was persistently
questioned about his religious be-

piled for a second time, ''The
faith of my fathers was Jewish,
but do not attend any religious
institution" the questioner in
sisted: "But are you a Jew" At

attorney became alarmed, Abt
said, and the episode was strick-

Held for Investigation

The split in the Civil Rights Committee
Of the District Bar Association over
proposal to require the police to bring an
arrested person forthwith" before mag
istrate, night or day, is indicative OF the
complexity of the problem studied by the
group. The problem, simply stated, is how
best to safeguard the innocent without
aiding the guilty to escape punishment.
The committee, by seven-to-three vote,
recommended that court processes be
made available seven days week and
twenty-four hours a day to persons ar
rested on suspicion of felony. Police would
have to take such prisoner Immediately
before the United States Commissioner or
a Judge of the Municipal Court, who would
have power to issue a warrant, free the
suspect or order him held for not more
than twenty-four hours for further inves-
tigation. The plan has the meritorious
purpose of protecting innocent persons
from being held indefinitely by the police
"for investigation.
As the minority reports pointed out,
however, this perplexing problem was
considered carefully in connection with
the formulation of the revised Rules of
Criminal Procedure. The rule finally
adopted provides for production. OF
prisoner before a magistrate without
unnecessary delay" This broad language
was favored because the courts were reluc-
tant to place a straitjacket on police that
might hamper them in enforcing the law
freely and effectively There are times
when public safety demands prompt arrest
of suspect without previous investigation
1t may take several hours to check his
record, interview witnesses and place him
in lineup for possible Identification.
The majority plan, in effect, would sub
stitute the judgment of magistrate for
that of a police officer in the matter of
holding a suspect "for investigation" F"
There is no assurance, however, that in
Justices would not be as likely to occur
under this system as under the present
arrangement. And one of the minority
reports questions the constitutionality of
empowering q magistrate to hold a
prisoner for any specific period without
charging him with crime. Certainly no
emergency situation has arisen to justify
any drastic change in law enforcement
procedure that might discourage fearless
police work in this period of rising sex
and other crimes The Bar Association
should give this difficult question the most
earnest study, with view to making sure
that in seeking to protect the innocent
the law does not unintentionally lend
aid and comfort to rapists, murderers and
other dangerous felons.

eighty thousand votes and In 1910 about
forty-six thousand. In 1914, when Russia
had become war ally of the United
States, the Reds indorsed President Roose-
velt for reelection conveniently ignoring
the fact that they had called him a war
monger just four years before.
Now that the party has kicked out Mr..
Browder and installed Mr.. Foster as its
chief, the pre-war line again is in effect
Mr.. Wallace and his Progressive Party are
following it with remarkable fidelity. He
certainly deserves the all-out support of
the Communists there is every rea-
son to believe that he will get it.

Eust-West Trade

Although 1t may die abornlng unless
Soviet policy undergoes a change for the
better, there is hope to be found In re-
ported move at Geneva, Switzerland, Tor
conference between the countries of East
ern and Western Europe to bring about
large scale increase in trade between them.
The conference Is still in the talking
stage, but authorities from both sides OF
the Iron Curtain are said to be In favor OF
meeting together for formal agreement
within the next few months. The Russians
apparently have taken no part in the pre-
liminary discussions, and it is possible that
they will kill it of by ordering their satel-
lites to boycott the plan, just as In the case
OF the European Recovery Program.
Nevertheless, according to the Geneva
report, officials from satellite Poland and
Czechoslovakia are among those who have
been conferring with Western representa-
tives, and they have indicated that they
are in favor of measures to step up the
two-way flow of trade. In this connection,
it Is not without significance that Premier
Tito of Yugoslavia declared the other day
that he would like to do business with the
United States on friendly basis without
political conditions
OF course, were it not for the Soviet
Unions obstructionist policy, the satellites
would be cooperating now with the six
teen nations participating in the ERP.
After all, the economy of Eastern Europe,
which Is largely agricultural, and the
economy of Western Europe, which is
largely industrial, are complementary and
interdependent 1t is unnatural for them
not to try to exchange goods on the great
est possible scale. They need such an
exchange for their common well-being.
There has been traditional flow of trade
between them for generations past, and 1t
is difficult to see how Russia can force an
end to 1t or keep it to minimum indefi-
nitely.
Thus, stated in overall figures, the coun-
tries now behind the Iron Curtain used to
ship 80 per cent of their exports to the
Western countries before the war and got
most of their imports from those coun-
tries. This normal trade. however, though
not stopped entirely, slowed down to a
trickle in the early postwar period when
Eastern Europe sent most of its Surpluses
to Russia. But with Soviet recovery these
surpluses have lost large part of the out
let in che Soviet market. Hence the satel-
lites need the West to sell to as we'll as to
buy from; they cannot live behind an eco
nomic Iron Curtain without bringing suf-
fering on themselves.
Accordingly despite its opposition to the
European Recovery Program, Russia may
