 The girls who will sell the tiny Easter lilies are as follows. Margaret Mercado, Gertrude Treffers, Lillian Collier, Charlotte Bell, Ann Barlow, and Adeline Barlow.

 The ether feature on this double bill is The Shanghai Cobra" the best of the new Monogram series of Charlie Chan films
 The mysteries solved by the wise Chinese detective portrayed by Sid ney Toler have probably maintained a consistently high standard for 8 longer period than any other series to come out of Hollywood.
 Toler, with his Confucius axioms, of course dominates the clue gather ing, as you would expect from past experience he would Benson Fong, as his Number 3 son" and Mantan Moreland, his saucer~eycd Negro assistant, continue to provide hil- arious fun with their penchant for doing more rayeling than unravel- ling of the mystery

The Public and the Courts

Symbolic of the growing public interest
In the machinery of justice is the Cosmo-
politan Clubs selection of Chief Justice
Bolitha J. Laws for it's 1947 Distinguished
Service Medal award. This fine tribute to
the presiding Judge of the District Court
is concrete evidence of the cooperative
relationship which has developed in Wash
ington in recent years between the courts
and the public which they serve. The sit
uation today is refreshingly different from
that which prevailed in the dark tWenties
and thirties, when laWlessness was ramp
ant and faith in law enforcement was at
low ebb throughout the country.
In accepting the award, Justice Laws
commented that much of the blame Tor
the disfavor which befell the courts IN
times past can be assigned to the courts
themselves. Judges, as general rule.
were too inclined to remain aloot from the
public. They failed to mingle with the
people-the lawyers, the businessmen, the
average citizens-and they resented crltl-
cism of the courts, however justified 1t
might be- Within the past few years,
however, Judges have become less detached
from UI6 community dllN lilo1O OoASA eAAAe
of suggestions for improvement of the ad-
ministration of justice. Justice Laws Is
an outstanding example of the public
spirited jurist who, while maintaining the
dignity of the bench, has won public con-
fidence by discussing frankly with the
people the problems confronting the
courts.
But even intelligent judges of the Laws
type cannot do a complete job of building
public respect for the courts under such
handicaps as those which prevail at Dis
trict Court. Crowded courtrooms, made
quate jury facilities, witness rooms filled
to overaowing and other undesirable con-
ditions are deterrents to prompt and
effective functioning of the machinery of
Justice These are among the major
problems with which Justice Laws and his
colleagues must contend. They have not
hesitated to ask for public support in
their urgent requests to Congress for
new courthouse. They have given men,
bers of Congress opportunity to see for
themselves the disgraceful conditions
under which justice is being meted out
In Washington.
The responsibility now rests with Con-
gress Fortunately, the outlook is brighter
for passage of legislation for new build
ing than at any time in the past. The
bill has been classified as emergency legis-
lation-which it certainly is-and may
reach the floor next week If it passes,
another long step forward in the improve
ment of law enforcement in the District
will have been taken.

u. N. PIebiscite for Kushmir

new test of the authority and prestige
of the United Nations is involved in the
decision of the Security Council to con-
duct a plebiscite of the inhabitants OF
Kashmir to decide whether they wish to
Join the Dominion of India or Pakistan.
The Kashmir issue is highly explosive
one, not only because it is the chief apple
of discord between India and PakiStan,
but also because of KaShmir's strategic
position, situated as it is on the north
western apex of the Indian subcontinent,
adjacent to Afghanistan, the Soviet Union,
Chinese Turkistan and Tibet. British
experts have gone so far as to term the
Kashmir dispute the most dangerous in
the world, while delegates of India and
Pakistan have repeatedly warned that the
local fighting in Kashmir could develop
into a general war throughout the Indian
subcontinent, with truly catastrophe con-
sequences.
The Security Councils decision to handle
the problem comes after four months of
hearings before itself, preceded by pro-
longed but vain negotiations between India
and Pakistan. Indeed, both Dominions
protested the plan adopted for the plebl-
scite since neither was satisfied with some
of the regulations. incidentally, it is in
tereSting to note that Soviet Russia took
no part in framing the program, abstain
ing from voting and offering no comment.
The plan sets up flve-natlon commits
sion which will go to Kashmir to organize,
conduct and supervise the holding of the
plebiscite. The Security Council has ad
vised both India and PakiStan to do every
thing possible to aid the commission and
to allay current disorders. In case of
trouble, the commission can call on either
or both Dominions for help. Disregard of
the Councils instructions would contra
vene the DominionS' U. N. obligations,
while refusal of either party to accept the
outcome of the plebiscite would be still
more serious matter.
The commission certainly has its work
cut out for itself. Kashmir is the scene
of bitter fighting between Indian troops
sent in at the request of the Hindu ruler,
who wants to join India, and large por-
ton of his subjects, most of whom are
Moslems, seemingly desirous of joining
Pakistan The situation is further COM
plicated by the presence of fanatical
Moslem tribesmen from the semi-inde-
pendent frontier region adjoining Afghan
istan, who have entered Kashmir across
Pakistan territory, apparently with the

connivance of the Pakistan authorities.
India bitterly protests this connivance,
while Pakistan charges that the Indian
troops in Kashmir are terrorizing the local
Moslems and preventing them from their
justifiable political activity. Just how the
commission will function in the complex
situation remains to be seen.
A troubled world will watch intently this
exercise of U: N. initiative. Kashmir is
not the only issue between the Hindus and
Moslems of the Indian subcontinent. Yet
it is the most sensitive and explosive aspect
of their differences. A successful and
statesmanlike handling of the Kashmir
problem by the U. N. might go far toward
easing tension between India and Pakistan
while enhancing the prestige and author
ity of the United Nations everywhere.
