The message of Rosh Hashonah

Jewish group as such. And what
il that message? It is reminder

warning that ones own life is
merely a temporary affair and
that if one is to put some meaning
into that life one had better cor
rect his ways if something of him
is to survive his physical death.

this occasional reminder of the
frailty and temperatures of hu-

were eternal he could become a

not be subject to the laws of a

on an overall conspiracy charge, the re-
viewing authorities placed their emphasis
on individual overt acts. The system also
permitted one-sided presentation of facts
to the reviewers, in that only the defense
petition without prosecution rebuttal was
considered. And the system also led to
a three-month delay in announcing the
reduction of sentence-a delay which was
bound to arouse suspicion that the Army
was trying to hide something.
The defects in our program of military
justice should be corrected promptly, d to
preclude any further "blemishes" on our
record, however isolated they may be.
Beyond that we should move with the
greatest caution, lest in trying to rectify
past mistakes, we make the greater one

For the Occult Few

# Chairman Hildreth of the Inaugural
Committee is still open to suggestions,
here is an idea that has great-perhaps
even amazing-posSibilities Why not
build a special reviewing stand in front
OF the White House for those who pre-
dicted Mr.. Humans election, in spite of
the polls, political prognosticators and
nearly everybody else?
The place of honor there would be
reserved, naturally, for the President him
self. Presidential Secretary Ross would be
entitled to seat, too, for his faith never
faltered, as far as newSmen could discern.
And Senator Howard McGrath, chairman
of the Democratic National Committee,
earned a reserved seat by his repeated
insistence to reporters that his boss would
win. There are few other worthless whose
names should be included in the ticket list.
It would not take very large stand to
accommodate all the faithful-provided,
of course, the list is restricted to those
who went on public record with their
forecasts before the returns came rolling
In last month. The restriction would have
to be strictly enforced, too Otherwise
there is no telling how large the special
grandstand would have to be. If every
body who after the election, confided to
friends that they knew all along that
Mr. Truman would be reelected, or that
they bet on him, or that they told the
boys at the office prior to election day
that he was "in," the stand undoubtedly
would have to be so large that there would
be no room on Pennsylvania avenue for
the parade. The prospects are just too
staggering to contemplate. No, the line
has to be drawn somewhere. So the only
solution would be to insist on credentials
that would prove conclusively that claim
ants made their predictions before, not
after, the precincts were heard from.
Rigidly enforced, such a restriction would
keep the number down to proper limits.
In fact, the number might, prove to be
10 small that separate stand would be
uneconomical. A few plush-lined arm
chairs in the front row of the regular
presidential reviewing stand might do the
trick nicely.

NJ. A. Degrees for Teachers

To the Editor Of The star:
AS teacher in the secondary schools with
masters degree, agree with r. v. Sumner
that teachers appointed now should have mas
ter's degrees. However, there are many other
assets equally as important as degrees In the
training Of young folks. Since secondary edu-
cation considers the pupil the important factor
and places subject matter second in value, 1t
seems futile to emphasize degrees. In class
where there are pupils Of low, average and
superior abilities, teacher must challenge
each to reach his maximum ability level;
hence, resourcefulness, travel, broad study, per-
sonality, concern about pupils health and
home problems, their social behavior, the
teachers own talent for sponsoring extra
curricular activities related to her subject, her
participation in community activities-all in
fiuence the growth and development Of her
pupils and therefore should be counted when
ever salary increases are distributed.

Justice in the Koch Case

Few persons will disagree with the
Senate Investigating Committees crltl-
cism of the reduction of Use Koch's life
sentence to four years. The committees
report on this much-publicized case sup
ports the v of the prosecutor and OF
Secretary of The Army Royal that the
prestige of American justice has been
damaged by the action of the Army
reviewing board in overruling the trial
courts sentence.
But great care should be taken to avoid
any further mistakes in the Koch case as
q result of the understandable desire to
see that this Infamous woman does not
escape adequate punishment for her
crimes. The prestige of democratic justice
would suffer an even greater blow II, IN
our eagerneSs to insure such punishment,
we violated our own traditional concepts
of Justice. We would violate them if we
disregard the rule against double jeopardy
or made any other move that might be
interpreted as persecution rather than
prosecution.
The Ferguson group expresses hope that
some means may yet be found to try
Frau Koch again for some other crime.
The military authorities testified, however,
that no other evidence exists that could
serve as a legal basis for another trial
before an American military court. She
was convicted by one such court of mis-
treating n-German prisoners OF war at
the gruesome Buchenwald camp. 1t is
hard to see how any new American trial
involving the crimes at Buchenwald could
be held without subjecting the defendant
to double jeopardy. The Germans have
asked permission to try her on charges
of committing offenses against German
nationals. General Clay has said that he
would turn the,woman over to the Germans
for such trial after she has served her
shortened sentence. There are precedents
for such procedure-a recent case being
that of Lieutenant Colonel Otto Won
Skorzeny, who, upon being acquitted by
an American military court of the massacre
of captured American troops, was turned
over to the German courts for trial, only
to escape from prison last month.
The committee takes pains to point out
that what it describes as the isolated
Flemish . on democratic justice" in
the Koch case was the fault not of any
o. irregularities on the part of military
officials but of a defective system. The
present system, the committee says failed
to bring about needed coordination of
trial policies and trial procedures-so that
while the emphasis of the prosecution was

The President on Russia

In making his "off-the-cuff" remarks
about Russia at luncheon for an old
friend in Kansas City, President Truman
chose an oddly informal occasion for
unusually strong words. But If some
objection may be raised to that, there will
be general agreement that he did not
exaggerate in declaring that the Soviet
Union-alone among the major powers
is responsible for the worlds failure to
date to make Roadway in the effort to
establish sound peace.
The fact of this Russian obstructionism
is not new. 1t has been repeatedly demon
strated in such places as Korea and
Germany, and it is at the root of all
the Illustration in the United Nations as
regards key projects like the control Of
atomic energy In dwelling upon it and
in referring to Soviet violations Of inter-
national agreements, the President merely
told once again a dreary tale that has
been told many times over. But there
was newness in the tone of the language
he used to tell it; the words were un-
vanished; they did not even pretend
to be diplomatic.
Thus, though paying compliments to
the Russian people and describing the
country as "our great ally" the President
bluntly declared that contracts are not
sacred to the Soviet government" and
that it has "a system of morals that are
not morals" Then, as If limiting at a
split in the Kremlin, he coupled with these
exceptionally strong words-probably the
strongest he has yet used on the subject
in public-the cryptic statement that
there are certain leaders" in that govern
ment Exceedingly anxious to have an
understanding with US" and he went on
to promise that he would spend the next
four years working for such an under
standing.
The question many will ask, however is
whether progress to that end can be
promoted by gloves-off language spoken
informally at an informal luncheon. And
perhaps the answer is that soft words
and diplomatic circumlocutions, far from
accomplishing anything up to now, have
seemed only to stimulate Soviet aggressive
ness and to intensity the invective of
VishinSky and the Moscow propagandists.
In any case, 1t must be presumed that
the President gave careful thought to
his words before speaking them with
seeming offhandedneSs.
