Hiohhunded Business

Police Chief Barrett's explanation of the
"raid" on an apartment at SIG Second
street early this month Is far from salts
factory.
Some of the facts are in dispute, others
are not. Sticking to the latter, it appears
that this is what happened: At about
1880 am, on October 2, the police say they
received a telephone report of shooting
at the Second street address The records
do not show who made the call. About
twenty police officers went to the address
and descended on the apartment Of man
named Kaplan, who was host to group
of his white and colored friends There
was no complaint to the police nor has
any one claimed that the party was
disorderly.
There had been no shooting in the
Kaplan apartment But the police were
not content to satisfy themselves on that
point and take their departure, as they
should have done. Instead, on the claim
that they did not receive proper Co
operation" from those present, the entire
group was arrested and carted off to police
headquarters Meanwhile, the apartment
was searched by the officers and certain
literature seized. At headquarters, those
arrested were flngerprinted, photographed
and questioned, some of them being de-
tanned as long as four hours. Finally, all
were released without any charges being
preferred
This, on its face, is an outrageous abuse
Of police authority. And it is no answer to
say that one does not approve of mixed
parties, or, as has been suggested, that the
police may have thought some of those
at the party were Communists. Any one
who may be inclined to overlook this Incl
dent on any such basis as this would do
well to remember that If the rights of one
group can be trampled upon, there is little
assurance that the rights of any group are
secure.
Police Chief Barrett has said he is sorry
the incident happened but also says he
feels that If the persons arrested "had CO.
operated with the police" their detention
would not have been necessary. The proper
answer to this is that when the police
conduct themselves as they did on this
occasion they are not entitled to co-opera-
ton from any one. We are passing through
q dangerous period in this country, and
all manifestations of tendency to hout
the rights of any individuals, far from
deserving cooperation, should be most
vigorously resisted. If in this particular
instance no satisfaction can be obtained
from complaints to the Police Depart
ment, and that appears to be the case,
the matter would seem to be one that is
worthy of the attention of the civil rights
section of the Department of Justice.

Bribery for Shelter?

To the Editor Of The Star:
E. K. Goldsborough's interest in the sale of
cooperative apartments is most commendable
but to my way of thinking, the real issue, not
only applicable to cooperative apartments"
but to the housing situation in general seems
to have failed to command the attention of
the general public.
Bribery is the issue to which I refer OF
course, have never heard this word mentioned
in polite society, yet the practice has become so
prevalent that the two words shelter. and
bribery" are almost synonymous.
The same people who accept this form of dis
honesty-as the only comfortable way out
are most positive in their condemnation of the
collaborationists of European countries who
saved their necks at the expense of their fellow
citizens, and yet, in principle, what, mag ask,
Is the difference?
Disnonorabe practices which have sprung
up, even though INDUCED in by honorable
people" In my opinion have become the great
est menace to our freedom. In its incipiency,
these same dishonorable practices, so lightly
considered now. may later gather terrific mo-
mentum and carry our Nation down to de-
Struction.
am eagerly and hopefully awaiting decisive
action in this field. Certainly, am not alone
in my thinking. still believe that right will
endure.

Dr.. Judah |. Moones

Certainly one of the great Jews of his
time, DR.. judah l.. Magnes was at once q
scholar, teacher, an organizer and a
prophet. He trusted knowledge to lead to
mutuality and built whole philosophy
upon the principle that to be wise was to
be good Ignorance was to him the source
OF the worlds evils. Therefore he waged
war upon it with the zeal of reformer of
the classic type. The campaign took him
into many fields which otherwise he never
would have entered. He made CO. cooperation
real force among his people.
But DR.. Magnes himself was not willing
compromiser. Again and again he found it
impossible to meet opposition by adjust
ment. Even as boy in school, he was
rigid individualist. He left the rabbinate
rather than conform to the views of con-
gregations who differed with his preference
for more traditional conceptions of Juda-
ism. Similarly, he forfeited place in the
first government of Israel rather than
abandon his hope for bi-national state
In which the Arabs would be accepted on
equal terms. He was paciflst when other
leaders wanted hQstilities, radical when
others wished to be conservative and
conservative when others wished to be
radical
Perhaps the whole tremendous struggle
of this "age of confusion" was reflected in
DR.. Magnes sensitive nature. He was
singularly handsome in appearance, yet
his countenance was tortured with pain
Morris Hillquit once declared OF him: "He
suffers too much" DR.. Magnes replied to
the remark: How can a civilized person
| avoid suffering?" Yet his wide and vArious
achievement proved him practical opti-
| mist. The Hebrew University on Mount
Scopus in Jerusalem was his creation. He
was successfully chairman of the Jewish
Defense Association, secretary of the Fed
Grafton of American Zionists, chairman of
the Kehillah of New York, president of the
Society for the Advancement of Judaism,
sponsor of the intercollegiate Minorah
Society and co-founder of the Hebrew Uni
versity Press Association. His skill as
orator won him an international reputa-
ton. He wrote attractively and was one of
| the notable conversationalists of his gen.

Pulling Out of Berlin

To the Editor OF The Star
With winter approaching, time is rapidly
running out on the Berlin situation and we
must accept some brutal facts, make decisions
and avoid further wishful thinking First,
Russia clearly intends to drive us out of Berlin,
and conferences with her'are a complete waste
of time; second, Russia intends to prevent the
unihcation of Germany except under her
dominion, and, third, Russia plans eventually
to drive us out of Europe.
Should we and are we able to supply Berlin
by air indefinitely In the event Of war.
Russia could take over in a couple Of hours.
It. moreover, may be that Russia plans to sap
our econemy further by forcing our continued
use Of the airlift. 1t must be vastly expensive.
We should face these considerations realistic
cally, and. If necessary. pull out of Berlin. In
the face of Russias Intentions we Immediately
should unity and strengthen Western Ger
many, concentrate our soldiers and planes in
the Western portion so that we should not be
overrun, and, in short, while hoping for the
best, prepare for the worst. J.F. c.

The Finnish Strikes

There is close parallel between the
waves of strikes in France and in Finland.
In both cases, they are essentially politi-
cal in character. Communist-inspired and
led, they alike aim at the overthrow of the
existing governments and the disruption of
the respective economies, in order to fur
ther the aims of Moscow and the COMM
form.
The Finnish strikes are an outcome of
the parliamentary elections last July which
inflicted a resounding defeat upon the
local Communist Party. Denoted from a
strong second to a weak third place in
the next Legislature, the Communists were
logically no longer entitled to the impor-
tant ministerial portfolios that they had
held in the previous cabinet-a coali-
ton of Social Democrats, Communists, and
Agrarians or Peasant Party. Nevertheless,
they were offered a fair share of cabinet
posts by the Social Democratic Premier,
Fagerholm.
This offer, however, was refused. The
Communists demanded key posts far be-
yond their legislative status, including the
strategic Ministry of the Interior which
means control of the police. When Eager
holm refused their demands, the Commu-
nists declared political war. This took
the form of strikes among the minority of
labor unions under Communist control,
together with menacing gestures in the
Moscow press. Soviet editors and COM
mentators launched charges of Fascist
activities In Finland in contravention of
the treaty which gives Russia virtual
stranglehold over Finland. Since, in the
last analysis, the Firms would be helpless
to resist Russian intervention, this Com
munist campaign was designed to terrorize
the Firms and force them to make con-
cessions which would undo the election re-
suits.
Thus far, however, the government has
stood firm. While leaving the door open
for Communist participation in the cabi-
net on an equitable basis, it has taken q
firm stand against the strikes, maintain
ing order and protecting nom Communist
workers who stayed on the job. In this
stand the government undoubtedly has
behind it the wholehearted support ol
the bulk of public opinion. 1t remains te
be seen whether the government can per.
sist If Moscow throws its weight still more
strongly behind the local Communist agi-
tation. Anything like direct Soviet inter-
vention would, of course, violate the treaty

MIR. Dewey's Engineman

To the Editor of The Star:
Most cities have ordinances against railroads
making black smoke within the city limits and
the railroads have issued instructions to their
men to avoid doing 50, yet the engineer on the
Dewey train loaded his engine up with green
coal when he knew he had a scheduled stop
to make, which caused the said engine to belch
out enough black smoke to engulf all of the
bystanders. In fact, he made enough smoke,
50 he stated, to obscure the penstock, where
1t was necessary to take on much-needed water
for the locomotive, then complained about his
own doing. -
Any one with railroading experience would
know better. We have many loyal, efficient
enginemen who evenA under those circum-
stances, II acquainted with the route as those
making such trips are supposed to be, still
could manage to stop within reach of the water
spout.
These eficient enginemen know about every
ground or land mark over a route that they
need to know and would have one sighted,
measure the distance and stop where they
should.
It is almost inexcusable If the train was
under control, to run eight or ten car lengths
past the water tank.
But the worst of the matter is, and I am
sure fair-minded reader will agree, that the
engineer, without the proper signal should not
have backed the train up. endangerins the lives

that noise is one of the most detrimental fac

also impairs longevity.

Dangerous Tug of War

What General Bradley. Army Chief of
Staff, said on Navy Day about the need
for unity among the armed services has
been said before, but he Is to be COM
mended for saying 1t again in such forth
right language. For it is an open secret
that rivalries and jealousies continue to
mar relations Of service partisans, despite
the persistent and insistent efforts of Sec
retary Forrestal to effect better teamwork.
General Bradley put his finger on the
chief source of trouble when he called for
an end to the "dog-eat-dog contests for
part of the taxpayers dollar" 1t Is this
struggle for appropriations which has led
In the past to bitter accusations and re-
ordinations. And 1t is said that another
behind-the-scenes contestis in the making
as result of the Presidents recent dis
closure that the total defense budget will
be kept to $4,000, 100000 in the next fiscal
year.
One of the chief reasons for the strenu-
Gus Air Force opposition to the Navys plan
for supercarrier was the fear that the
cost Of this big ship would come out of the
Air Forces seventy air group program.
There was also the fear, it is true, that the
Navy might encroach on what the Air
Force regards as its exclusive field, stra-
tegic bombing. But some high-ranking
Air Force officials have indicated that they
would not have fought the supercarrier
proposal so vigorously If there had been
plenty of money available for all the serv-
ices. In fact, each branch knows that the
size of the others budgets will affect its
own; hence the intense interest which each
manifests in what the others are seeking
from Congress.
There is such thing as healthy rivalry,
OF course. But the type of undercover
backbiting that has been going on ever
since the legal unifcation of the Army,
the Navy and the Air Force Is anything
but healthy General Bradley is right
when he warns that the Nation cannot
stake its national defense requirements on
a popularity contest where glitter, glamor
and shrewd public appeal become more
important than military judgment" Such
bidding for favor, as General Bradley
points out, Is apt to lead to haphazard,
!, careless allotment of defense funds when
only military considerations should prevail.
II Secretary Forrestal needs more legisla-
tive authority to bring about unity in fact
as well as theory-and Army Secretary
Royal suggests that this is the case-then
the next Congress should give this urgent
matter priority in the national defense
field.
