only a criminal judge, but a
harsh one with a singular lack
of sympathy for the human
weaklings who come before him
The one touch of tenderness he
manifests Is that reserved ex-
clusively for his gentle wife.
When the family's doctor, ano
intimate friend, tells him that this
object of the judges affections is
destined for inevitable. painful
death, the blow is almost unbal-
ancing in it's effect. His once
fierce fidelity to duty is surren-
dered in favor of a holiday with
the dying woman. from whom he
must keep secret the nature OF
her illness.
The holiday is a poignant fail
ure. 1t discloses to the judge not
only the excrutiating pain his wife
must suffer, but also the terrifying
truth that he is incapable OF
standing her suffering. Their &c
years of answering devotion takes
a turn that he cannot fathom
one which contemplates giving hel
an overdose of a dangerous drue
as a supreme and final act of love
Once the fatally stricken wom-
an is killed in an automobile acci-
dent, the judge, as a man OF
principle should do. turns himself
over to the District Attorney.
1t is the dramatic weakness OF
Act of Murder" at this point that
the script is so written that the
judge is the only one who does not
know he is truly innocent. The
sole suspense left for the audience
is just what legal tricks will be
pulled to prove his innocence
Those that are utilized might very
we'll startle any one accustomed to
normal court procedure.
The picture ends with the judge
acquitted at the bar, but not in
his own conscience or that OF
mankind. His own decision in the
case, the last of the several rem
dered. is that mercy killing is
morally murder.
\ \
1t is quietly effective. penetrat-
ing performance that March gives
as the Judge who had q lot to
learn from life in Act of Murder y
With a more effectively sustained
spirit. it could have been an even
better one.
A correspondening excellence is
to be noted in the case of Miss
Eldridge as the wife. Of the

that the law enabled and sup
ported them in initiating that
which they had desired but
feared TO do
The experience Of department
stores and other retail eStab-
lishmentS which, under Fair EN-
ployment Practices laws, employ
people Of many races and re-
ligions, clearly demonstrates that
a fair employment policy does
not discourage customers from
patronizing them.
AS rule. it is equally true that
in the experience of banks, tele-
phone companies, Industrial
plants. restaurants, and utility
corporations a Fair Employment
Practices law does not create
trouble between employees Of diff
ferent races and religions.
That a man has the right to
work in the same sense that he
has the right to speak and wor-
ship, will not be disputed by any
one who understands the prin-
cipal Of the natural law which
God has implanted in human
nature. A Fair Employment Prac-
tees law means nor more than
this that, as the State is obliged
to secure to men the right to
speak and to worship, so 1t is
obliged to secure to them the
right to work at jobs for which
they are qualified without re-
spect to race or religion. And
that is why Fair Employment
Practices legislation received
such wide support. In Pennsyl-
yania. for example, its advocates
include the Catholic Interracial

Annual Red Cross

Red Cross sabbath and sun

than 400 churches ard syna-
gogues in Greater Boston Sat-
urday, Feb. 26 and Sunday, Feb.
n. This is the traditional
church observance for the Red

those who need help.

bath and Sunday are Archbishop
Richard J. Gushing, leader Of the

Norman B. Nash, Protestant
Episcopal Bishop of Massachu-
sets; Rabbi Herman H. Rab-
inovitz, president of the Greater
Boston Rabbinical Council, and
Rev. Frank ]. Jennings, execu-
tive secretary Of the Massachu-
sets Council of Churches.
In warmly endorsing the
Greater Boston fund drive for
the Red Cross, whose Greater
Boston goal is $1,25O,OOo, the
church leaders urged financial
support of the community.
Archbishop Gushing said: I
take pleasure in endorsing the
Red Cross Fund Drive for 1949.
Community generosity to this
campaign makes possible COM
munity benefit from it.
Through our dollars" the
Archbishop said, "the Red Cross
carries on its humanitarian work
in civilian, military and veterans
hospitals, in Army and Navy in
stallations, and in far flung areas
of the world where young Amer
leans are in uniform.
"The Red Cross extends its
soothing hand OF mercy to all
peoples, and without distinction
Of race, creed or color. l urge
that everyone who believes in
such democratic ministrations to
the suffering contribute gener-
ously to the Red Cross solicitor

In the light of the experience
of New York, New Jersey, Con-
,necticut and Massachusetts, with
Fair Employment Practices laws
there is lot to be said in favor
of the pasabe Of similar legisla-
ton by other states.
In general Fair Employment
Practices law simply requires
that every person applying for a
job must be judged solely on his
merits and ability-witAout re-
spect to his race, religion, color,
or national origin. It does not
require that an employer hire a
certain percentage Of any group.
He may employ whom he will in
accordance with his own stand
ards, provided only that a quail
ned person is not rejected be-
cause Of his race or religion

1900 cases charging discrimina-
ton in employment are being
settled each year in the four
states where fair employment
practices prevail. Yet, not one Of
them has required public hear
Ing. Cancellation and persuasion
have been found to be sufficient
for settling every case.
IN the same four states many
frms have voluntarily changed
their employment practices so as
to include people Of certain races
and religions who previously had
been overlooked or denied en-
ployment. There is nothing sur
prising about that. According to

Birthday is Brotherhood Week
a good time to remind ourselves
that brotherhood must be lived.
There are denials of brotherhood
for us all-and sometimes we do
the denying. This truth came
home to me during Race History
Week at Horticultural Hall. An
elderly white woman of foreign
extraction complained of the
rude conduct Of young person
who let her know in no uncertain
way she was not wanted. Then
turning to his mates he said out
loud so she could hear, 81 don't
see why she doesn't go on and be

While this attitude reflects the
spirit of a small, intolerant, bitter
group. it does exist and keeps
US from doing our full part to
live brotherhood. What we feel,
think and say behind closed
doors determines our conduct to-
wards other folks Every day we
are victims OF determinations
because of the prejudices of
others, seeded and grown in I'M
American soil favorable to them.
Our tares of prejudice do not
help the grain Of brotherhood to
grow. We delay the harvesting
time good jobs, education, good
housing. recreation, medical care
and public accommodations. AS
good husbandmen of American
democracy we should not sleep
and should keep our white
brothers awake to the peril of
enemies within who sow tares. A
prejudiced colored man is as
much our enemy as . prejudiced
