Boy and Father Lose
S1O5,OOO U. 5. Suit

The Government yesterday won
the first case tried in District Court
under the Federal Tort Claim Act
Of 1s4e, allowing the Government
to be sued for acts of negligence.
Visiting Justice Ben Moore OF
Charleston, w. Va, heard the case
in which Donald Rice, IA, colored,
and his father, George Rice, Of the
1000 block of Nichols avenue Sc,
sought $1O5, 900 damages for injuries
suffered by the boy while playing
on the grounds of st. Elizabeths
Hospital.
Donald lost both feet, according
to the testimony, in an accident in
November, 1945, while he was hang
ing on to the left front ladder OF a
midget locomotive used to shunt
coal cars. He and several other
boys had gone to play on the Army's
commando obstacle course on the
hospital property, it was said.
The boy said the accident occurred
when a man climbed over from the
front of the coal car and swung
his foot at him as he hung on the
side. The Government contended,
however, the child was knocked
under the. moving locomotive by a
protruding embankment.
The trial was heard without a
jury as provided by rules for hear
ing cases of the type. Assistant
United States Attorney John P.
Burke represented the Government.

Sympathy Won't Pay
Truman Now Must Prove Omaha's
Poor Turnout Was Merely Mishap

Cook County (Chicago) Chair
man Jack Arvey, the first influential
city leader to suggest a Truman
withdrawal, has no comment on
present events. He stands on his
statement Friday night after Mayor
Martin Kennedy entertained the
White House party at dinner INC
comment. No change" Mr.. Arvey
and the President exchanged polite
greetings, nothing more.
Pivotal State leaders and Senate
Democrats alike have been increas-
ingly apprehensive that Mr.. Tru-
mans lucklessness would hurt theil
personal fortunes. They had natur-
ally expected some kind of verdict
eventually out of his present trip
either a public showing that the
folks were stronger for him than the
polls showed or an apathy that
would alter his own self-confldence
That misfortune like Omaha
would so soon puncture the jaunty
facade of the Truman meet-the-
folks enterprise was not expected
Considerable sympathy is expressed
for him but not the kind that will
pay off for him.
Harm Has Been Done
It is felt that the President, in the
light of his peculiar handicaps, has
worsened his position materially.
When he left Washington the bur
den of proof was still on the dis
senters. The prestige, curiosity ano
friendliness naturally accruing te
the presidency, plus proper manage
ment and showmanship in connec-
ton with the Presidents appear
ances, might have carried him
through, averted a showdown. Ger
tainly his people expected that ii
would; he himself departed with
high hopes. Now his weakness has
been glaringly displayed and whether
the amateurishness Of his personal
staff and friends is responsible Is an
academic question. The harm has
been done. +
Now the burden Of proof rests on
the President to show that this was
merely q mishap, only that and
nothing more. 1t will take many
constructive, colorful impressions to
obliterate the present dismal ones
There is little to encourage hope
that he can so produce. He still mas
sacres a prepared speech; he was
bad in Chicago, and under that
Omaha icy shower, his performance
wrung the heart. Oh the cum he
lacks resonance and depth.
And hostile California Is still to
come.

in Germany and the announcement
yesterday of the five-point proposal
for creating separate, federal gov
ernment in Western Germany was
the first fruit of the decision to &c
ahead without Russia in creating the
new Germany.
The Russians do not like this abil-
ity of. the western powers to make
their own arrangements for world
peace and security, and particularly
do not like to see the rest of the
world compromising its differences
and arriving at agreements which
meet the needs of all. That is con-
trary to Soviet practice. which has
for it's aim complete satisfaction of
Russian demands without regard for
the requirements of other peoples.
Subject to Russian Will.
Defeated though they were in a
war which their own Nazi regime
provoked with it's aggressions. the
German people are entitled-just as
any criminal is entitled-to know
what its fate is and what it must do
to win its way back into respectable
society.
The Germans in the Soviet zone
have no prospect of anything better
in life than to be hitched to the
Soviet star and harnessed to the
Soviet industrial machine, whether
it be producing for war or peace.
They have no real Independence and
no responsibility for the conduct OF
their own administration. Every
thing now is and will continue to be
subject to the will of the Russians.

Republican. vigorously defends the
law and the Commissions pro-
ceedings under it.
The point at issue is the cement
industry's use of the "basing point
system" in fixing prices. This makes
competition between the various
companies little more than pre-
tense.
Since the high court has sus-
tanned the Commission, the next,
move in Congress, after Senators
Capehart and Hawkes. have given
the manufacturers an opportunity
to air their grievances, would seem
to be clearly indicated. A way will
be sought to cut the ground from
under the Commission and the
court. The Bulwinkle bill, recently
enacted to protect the railroads
against the antitrust laws, fur
nishes the precedent.
Sin of Commission.
This, if accomplished, will clas-
sify as a sin Of commission. 1t will
belong in the same category as the
action of the House on the Recip-
rocal Trade Agreements Act-just
one Of those things done to please
particular business interests, regard
less of the national interest.
Some of these things are not done
openly, of course. The private
power interests, who have found
this Congress happy hunting
ground, are able to gain their ends
in various ways. Defeated in the
Senate when they sought to force
up the selling price of power devel-
oped by Government reclamation
projects, they are about to accom-
plish the same purpose by well
hidden clause in the Interior De-
partment appropriation bill. Buried
in a section of the bill entitled
Alaskan Investigations" this
clause forbids the use of interest
collected from irrigation water
users, as has been done in the past,
to extend irrigation and keep water
and electric rates low. It would put
reclamation power users - every
where, not merely in Alaska--at the
mercy of the private companies.
The end of the session is near.
1t will be difficult for the President
to veto the Interior Appropriation
bill. That's the idea.

be that he will drop that line now; ;
few more fiascos like that at
Omaha with deadly empty-chair
pictures going over the country and
1t might provoke the derision fatal
to a politician.
But whether or not President
Truman rationalizes his reception,
confidence is expressed that the
effect on the western State leaders
will be profound. These men have
the responsibility of electing their
own State and local tickets; they are
now seeing with their own eyes why
Illinois and New York want to
cancel the Truman name at the top
Of their states.
Nebraska State Chairman VIII
liam Richie acted entirely on his
own in declaring that he would
no longer support the President and
that the State delegation would
be split at Philadelphia. There was
personal pique in the action as
Democrats felt neglected in the ar
rangements the Presidents friends
made in Omaha. Nevertheless,
there are also convention votes for
the resistance movement.
Similar Moves Seen.
Nothing new in that looms con-
cretely at the moment; the view Is
taken that more moves like Mr..
Ritchie's will occur spontaneously
and nothing needs to be done.
The President voluntarily decided
to 60 to the people over the heads
of Congress and the dissidents OF
his own party. Now he has got
his show on the road after denuding
it-again a personal decision-of

paigners. Let it roll" say his de-

This Changing World
Russians Expected to Try to Undermine
Western Allies Proposals for Germany

,cupation zones, however, have the
prospect of reestablishing their
national life with a German gov
eminent which will be responsible
for the future life of the Western
German state. The Allies want to
recede from the German picture
while retaining only those controls
which will assure that Germany
rever again becomes threat to
the worlds peace and security.
The Russians are being given an
opportunity to join in this effort to
establish a new Germany, but the
handing Of a copy OF the six-nation
agreement to Marshal VASTLY D.
Sokolovsky in Berlin can be little
more than a pro forma performance
since the Russians have been, and
apparently still are, dead set against
any just settlement for Germany.
French Assembly Must Act.
The. Communists will have their
best opportunity of defeating the
agreement in France. where anxiety
over the possible resurrection OF
Germany is greatest. Although the
French national assembly will have
to act on the agreement, such is not
the case in the United States and
the British cabinets speedy approx
al is likely to be followed by similar
action here.
AS the two parts of Germany are
drawn farther and farther apart by
the differing directions in which
the occupation powers are going, an
irredentist movement certainly Is
going to develop, III both Western
and Eastern zones of Germany.
If the Western Allies can pursue
now to a successful conclusion the
projects they have begun. If peace
treaty can be negotiated with the
new German government when 1t Is
established and functioning success
fully, and If the terms of that
treaty do not serve to keep Germany
in a condition of helpless enslave-
ment, the Germans of the Eastern
Zcne will find themselves yearning
for incorporation into the western
German state and will reject any
puppet administration Soviet Rus
sia creates for them.
The Western Allies are setting a
standard of democracy in Western
Germany. a standard against which
neither Soviet Russia nor its satel-
lites dares measure itself. Russia
may be expected, however, to at
tempt to undermine the new state.

record as could possibly be made. 1t
is the sort of record that, in logic,
should wreck the party's hopes.
The Democratic National Commit
tee is preparing the record for use
in the campaign. All the sins OF
commission and omission are being
set down. They make a lush list,
out of which speeches almost write
themselves. Those speeches, giving
chapter and verse, should make the
country sit up and take notice.
But the Republican Congress isn't
worrying. Observing the disintegra-
ton of the Democratic Party-the
Wallace wings withdrawal and the
Southern mutiny-it sees little to
worry about. 1t not only continues
whiting away at the social gains
made during the Roosevelt period,
but has begun reaching back into
the Woodrow Wilson days for more
things to destroy. The latest in
stance occurs in the case of the
Federal Trade Commission.
