which they would not otherwise
honestly have come to.
This is the opinion of the Alameda
Times Star. which, in its Oct. l..
also pointed out that the prosecu-
ton took THE greatest possible
pains" to see that the jury trying
NOS. D'Aquino had no one of nom
white ancestry on it.
The jury arrived at its decision.
the Times Star said, only after it
had disagreed so completely that in
any other case it would have been
dismissed as a hung jury with an
order for new trial.
The Times Star pointed out
that the judge, "apps .ently OBJ
srssed with the feeling that the
case was costing too much money
for the government" ordered the
Jurors to try again to arrive at a
verdict.
I'm our opinion such an observa-
ton during the course of a trial
should be enough to justify new
trial for a case" said the Alameda
paper.
when the freedom of a person,
let alone his life, is at stake before
a court, the question of cost should
not be allowed consideration, the
Times Star said.
THE theory of justice in our
country. and historically also, is
that II is not purchasable."
I'VE do not mean to say, of course.
that bribery in the traditional mean
ing of the word was employed in
the Tokyo Rose case" the Times
Star declared.
But we do most emphatically
mean this-that the judge, speak
ing with the awesome dignity of the
law behind him, did in effect bride
the jurors to arrive at a verdict
which would not. if left to their de-
vices, honestly have come to.
'He did it by introducing this
question of cost. By pointing out
to the jury that the trial had cost
so much money he almost certain
Iy aade the iirers feel that they
would let the government and the
people of the country down II they
did not reach verdict.
The bribery then would lie in the
inferential thought-that if they did
bring in a verdict they would be the
benefactors of the government and
the people.
Under the circumstances of the
case this appears to us as shock
ing thing, for in the trial of anyone
of Japanese ancestry in this state
today-a state which for genera
lions has had violent anti-Japanese
feelings among a substantial por-
tion of its population-it seems likely
to us that jury, pressed for ver-
dict, and in treason trial especially
would tend to give the government
the benefit of the doubt instead oil
the accused.

this is what happened, and from
what we have heard from many

enjoys considerable prestige from
a long career as House member,
Senator, Supreme Court Justice,
top civilian wartime aid, to both
Presidents Roosevelt and Truman
and Secretary of State under Mr..
Truman.
Anti-Fair Deal Forum.
The plan presumably is for Mr..
Byrnes. a legislative architect OF
the early Roosevelt New Deal, to
run for Governor of South Caro-
lima next year to provide forum
from which to direct the anti
Fair Deal campaign. Either that,
or perhaps to run Donald S. Rus
sell, Mr.. Byrnes' law partner and
protege, who is being groomed
in the Byrnes tradition.
The renovated Dixiecrat move
ment is directed, first, at strength
ening the Southern Democrat
Republican coalition in Congress
and creating a national bipart-
isan anti-Fair Deal alliance and
second, with particular reference
to the Democratic Party, to try
to check the Fair Deal forces at he
1852 Democratic National Conven-
ton.

of the anti-Brannan American
Farm Bureau Federation. 1t will,
he admits, be a meaty address
and there is considerable body
of evidence on file to show that
his answer will not be Charles
Brannan.
President Must Decide
But while Senator Anderson is
haranguing the hostile Federation
the President will be in Key West
putting together State of the
Union message now said to include
the Brannan plan as an integral
part Of the Fair Deal. What the
President will have to decide is
which Secretary, past or present,
has the greater pulling power in
the farm areas.
It is a vital question. The farm
States hold Democratic hopes for
increased Congressional strength
next year. In fact. Senator An

the whole thing is nothing but a
canard, instigated either by fam
atics or by those who wish to
serve the interests of the Com

Proselyting Opposed.
It is true that Spanish Protes-
tants are handicapped. but not so
much in the exercise of their reli-
gion as in their proselyting activi-
ties. In plain words, the Spanish
government does not like Protes-
tants to convert Catholics.
To understand several incidents
which have occurred in the last
two years, it is necessary to re-
member that Spain is the last
country in Europe where Catholi-
cism is the state religion. Not only
is it now. but it has been so for
five centuries.
The acts of violence committed
by the Communists against the
Catholic church and its clergy dur
ing the civil war were so atrocious
that Spaniards today are drawn
even closer toward the church

Democratic Family Row
Anderson Ready To Challenge Openly
Brannan's Right to Represent Farmer

but ola not carry his own otdIe.
Now for the first time in years the
Federation failed to invite the
Secretary of Agriculture to ad-
dress it.
Normally, this would be cam
paign meat for President Truman
but the detection of Senator
Anderson complicates matters.
Senator Anderson is understood
to feel that the Federation can do
more for Democrats in States like
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois than
the Brannan plan can.
Hope Row Can Be Settled.
Democrats still hope the quarrel
can be resolved. Senator Ander-
son is popular and was once Mr..
Truman's choice for National
Chairman or the Vice-Presidency.
But he chose to go home and run
for the Senate while Mr.. Brannan
fought successfully for Mr.. Tru-
man in the farm States.
Senator Anderson's friends think
he did not get enough credit for
the departments record. His
detractors say he was one of the
wrong guessers on Mr.. Truman
and. hating himself, has made
Senator Brannan scapegoat.
Certainly he has been consistently
anti-Brannan. There was for ex-
ample a Krug-Brannan feud in
the background of Mr.. Krug's
resignation. Senator Anderson
lauded Secretary Krug as a per-
haps too ardent supporter of re-
clamation as if Secretary Brannan
were not also pro-reclamation.
Senator Anderson frankly does
not believe the Brannan plan is
or should be made the test of the
Democratic farm record. Demo-
Gratis steadily raised farm income
through the years, he argues, and
last spring cured the farmers
two complaints against the 80th
Congress, which were lack Of stor-
age facilities and the Aiken slid
ing scale of price supports. AS
matters stand, he asserts, Demo-
Gratis can campaign with great
confidence in farm areas.

OF the 25,0OO,OO0 persons who
inhabit this country there are be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 Protes-

and youths have attacked chapels
and smashed furniture.
A number of Protestant chapels,
along with the Catholic churches,
were closed by the Communists
during the civil war, according to
this Methodist clergyman, and II
of them did not reopen imme-
diately. This was because the
Catholic hierarchy, whose influ-
ence with the government is
strong. urged those in power to
"go slow" in permitting the Prot
estants to resume activities.
Spanish authorities tend
that there are 211 Protestant
chapels. of which 1873 are Angli-
can, Evangelical and Presbyterian.
The rest represent all other Prot
estant denominations.
Foreign ProtestantS according
to several pastors with whom this
reporter has spoken were in no
way interfered with.

Old Threadbare Issue

With Byrnes In Dixiecrat Homestead

early summer in his road to

at Washington and Lee at Lexing-
ton. Va.-indicated the tactics
and strategy of the new move
ment.
It will be pitched naturally
around the old threadbare issue
of States rights but on a high
philosophical plane Jimmy
Byrnes, it is said. sees himself as
a sort of modern John c. Calhoun.
An effort will be made to play
down publicly the racism theme
of the Dixiecrat movement which
made that abortive affair so odious
to most people elsewhere and to
many people, also, in the South
Mr.. Byrnes avoided the racial
issue very carefully in sounding
the alarm at Biloxi.

An attempt will be made, like
wise, it is understood, to keep
in the background the economic
and financial interests. oil. util-
tiles, textiles and banks, which
exploited the Dixiecrat movement
for their purposes, as they have
perennially in other similar "re-
volts" in the South, as anybody
who knows anything about the
South knows so well.
In this respect, it is perhaps
unfortunate for the pretty picture
that one Of the principal agents
of this element turned up at
Biloxi. This is Leonard B. Perez
wealthy oil man, attorney general
and undisputed political boss OF
st. Bernard and Plaquemines Par
ishes in Louisiana. Owner Of ex-
tensive oil holdings in the delta
he is fighting for State, instead
of Federal control of tidal oil

work their will with weak State

drew punishment from the man
ager. From then on out it would
be my job on Saturday nights to
dress the windows after closing,
and closing time in those days
was eleven o'clock.
It didn't take me long to be-
come the worlds fastest and worst
window dresser. At first went to
a great deal of pains, stocking up
canned goods in fancy pyramids,
ana decorating them with stream
ers of crepe-paper ribbon.
But that sort of window dressing
was tiresome and took long time.
Within three Saturday nights I
had devised a window which. to
this day, cannot be excelled for
unattractiveness and minimum of
labor involved. It consisted Of two
or three dozen brooms and mops

When I was a senior in high

store, which meant I couldn't get
out on Saturday nights. At the
time this nearly broke my heart
because I was madly in love with
a girl, and I used to cry among my
brooms, mops, and corn flakes at
the thought of her being out at
Saturday night dances with my
deadly rival.
He finally won her for his own.
