Justice
Unified Court Martial System

Unlfled Court Martial system
Congress still is reverberating to
complaints on the operation of mill
tary justice and tribunals during
World War II.
Recently the Army and Air Forces
put in an innOvatiOn-permitting en-
listed men or n-cOmmiSSiOned Of
fiCerS to act as members of a court if
the accused is an enlisted man and
asks for them. One third of the court
which usually consists of nine MEM
bers-may be enlisted men.
That was designed to cope with a
long standing beef from the ranks
that the services had one system of
justice for enlisted men, another for
officers.
At present, only Navy or Marine Of
ficerS may sit on court martial.
And an accused Marine must be
tried by Marine officers, or a COB by
Navy officers. Even the Army and Air
Corps limit military courts to men,
berS of their separate services.
This often causes delays and diff
cultieS in military trials at outposts
where only a few officers of one serv-
ice are on duty.
A unified system of courts martial
for all branches of the service is un-
derstOod to have the backing of De-
tense Secretary FOrreStal It would cut
across the separate systems and per-
NIT officers and enlisted men of all
three services to sit on such courts
The enlisted men and non-commis-
stoned officers would participate only
in trials of enlisted men if their pres
enCe were requested.

Hungary, stood convicted of treason
to communist Hungary. He had been
Hungary's foremost Communist critic
as one coup after another put the
minority Communist Party in control
OF the government.
Mindszenty expected arrest. Last
fall he wrote letter in which he said
if ever he pleaded guilty it would be
because of weakness of the flesh"
Two days after Christmas, the arrest
came.
There was little question in the
minds of most people outside the Iron
Curtain that the Peoples Court in
Red-ruled Hungary would find the
Cardinal guilty of treason as charged.
He received a life sentence as a
traitor for having tried to restore the
monarchy. He also was convicted Of
having speculated illegally in Ameri-
can dollars.
AS the trial began Mindszenty said,
"I am guilty in principle and in de-
tail of most of the accusations" He
testified that no one had forced him
to make the confession. In addition,
he repudiated the letter he wrote
last fall.
The United States and Britain pro-
tested the trial as a travesty on JUS
tice and were called "meddlers" by
the court. Catholics around the world
and many in other faiths held days
of prayer.
The Cardinal appealed his sentence
That left three alternatives to the
higher court-to let it stand, reduce
the life sentence, or increase it tC
death by hanging.

But the report says tag ends of the
network still may be active in world
capitals. It says an American author.
Agnes Smedley, operated in Shanghai
and "is a spy and agent of the Soviet
government"
There is nothing in the report about
any tie-in with Soviet espionage in
this country. But one name in the re-
port was mentioned Obscurely in still
secret testimony taken last year at
spy hearings of the House Un-Ameri-
can Activities Committee.
By comparison, the Army sizes up
the wartime Soviet spy network in
Canada as an amateur show"
Still at large, says the report, are
two members of the ring: Missouri
born Miss Smedley and Guenther
Stein, a German who now may be an
American. Stein was temporary but
top-level member of the Tokyo ring
from 1886 to 1885,
Both Smedley and Stein have writ
ten books on China. Who's Who says
they receive mail in New York City.

Lo, The Little Woman

The working woman has helped
lot in boosting the income of the aver
age American family to $4,000 in 1947.
This is the highest on record, and a
gain of 20 per cent during the last
three years.
The Census Bureau has found that
more than 100000 families were
supported entirely by women in 1947.
They contributed 25 per cent or more
of the total income for one out of
every four families
The bureau found that l947 income
was distributed among the nations
100000 families in this fashion:
Four million had under $1,000; six
million had 1000 to $4,000; eight mil

-Four Cub Scouts Find

Look. a bomb in the roadp,
shouted one of the four 10-year-
old Cub Scouts who were walking
down the Howard road near the
old stave mill near Lexington at
1880 Saturday morning.
TIL boys, Billy Gene Carroll,
Ward Reaves, John Weathersby
and Chico Taylor, were searching
for interesting rock and fossil
specimens when they came upon
a hand grenade lying in the track
of the road. SURPRISING the i'm
pulse to bolt, they went nearer,
but were unable to determine
whether the grenade was safe,
alive or a dud.
The Scouts, having learned val
liable lessons in teamwork, SAFETY
and consideration for others.
quickly decided upon a course OF
action. Billy Gene hurried on
toward town to notify Sheriff E.
r. WYNN. while Ward, John and
Chico stayed behind to keep
watch and to warn others OF pos
sible danger. ;.
Mr.. Wynn soon arrived and took
the grenade back to town where
he and Patrolman j. B. Yearwood
found it to be dud.
