TRIAL BY JURY

The triul = TO dignity it by the fomiIior words for
procedure in court of justice of William Howell in
Lyons, Go, might have straight from Gilbert and
Sullivan except for its equqIid prevorsion of moral and
ego principals In conformity with the laws of Georgia
and of light operas, defense counsel called two mem
bes of the jury TO the stand They he'd been licked for
the jury because they attested their mportoIity an
other musical comedy touch But leading witnesses
for the defense they both decored they would NOT
any case believe the sworn testimony of the chief pro-
secutiOn witness, who identified Howell as one of the
lynch mob that killed her husband last November
As TO the lowfulness of this procedure, Georgia law
is cuousy primitive There is statutory barrier against
it. AS TO its Popriety however there ought to be no
question For failing to coll mstrio regardless of the
soncton given by the vogories of State lew, the judge
showed astounding dsespect for both the forms end
substance of Justice under the common low 1t is, of
course, TOO much to expect that he will be removed

should be so classed. Zionism is
based on the false doctrine that
Jews are superior people and are

General Hilldring brings to the
convention background of dis
tinguished service to the Jewish
people both in Europe and in
Israel. In April, 1943, after a
year as U. S. Army Assistant
Chief of Staff, he was appointed
first Director of the Civil Affairs
Division of the Allied Military
Government. In this post, he was
Secretary of War with Informal
ton and advice to guide United
States action in all areas occupied
by our troops. He retired from
active military service in April,
1916, to become Assistant Secre-
tary of State, serving also as
State Department member of the
e-War-Navy Department Co
ordinating Committee. In addition
to those duties, he administered
U. S. policy with regard to dis
placed persons.
Recognition of the outstanding
value of his services has come to
General Hilldring from many
sources, both here and abroad.
He holds the Distinguished Serv-
