He filed a complaint with the

on the ground Of discrimination

Ultimately, both the commission
and the lower Federal court, each
by divided decisions, held that the
railroad had complied with regu-
lations under the Interstate Com
merce Act requiring equal treat
ment for all passengers in inter-
state carriers.
In due course, when Mr.. Hen.
derson carried an appeal to the
Supreme Court, the ICC asked
the Justice Department to repre-
sent it. But the Justice Depart
ment refused. Instead, after ar
examination of the case, it filed
a brief with the court on behalf
of Mr.. Henderson, largely the

OUSC1 NClS, wiz
are aware that American taxpay-
ers must provide upwards of ST.
900, 100000 year to maintain life
near normal in this country, such
indiscriminate factory destruction
appears to be senseless.
1t is not a question of dis
abling actual war plants. but OF
running installations which coulc
give the German people employ
ment and means of earning the
foodstuffs they import. No re.
sponsible American official denies
that this process Of destruction
is motivated not by a fear Of
resurrection of German militarisn
but by the fear that the people
of Western Germany by hare
work once more can become keer
competitors with British ano
French industries.
For instance, Norway, Denmark
Finland and Sweden used to have
ships built in the German ship
yards at Hamburg and Bremen
and sent them there for repair
The work was done speedily and
more cheaply than elsewhere. The
British have insisted on disman-
ting the German shipyards, and
this is expected to drive Germany's
old customers to the United King
dom. AS a result, tens of thou
sands of German workers have
been made idle, and must remain
so unless they change their trade
Additional Burden for U. S.
While the shipyards' dismantl-
ing is understandable from the
British point of view, the Ameri-
cans here feel that this particu-
lar process, together with others
which are being pursued in the
British zone, will place an addi-
tional burden on the United
States.
At the height of its economic
development Germany never was
able to feed its population, but
had to rely on food imports
amounting to about Is per cent
of the consumers needs. Today
Germany is divided into Eastern
and Western zones. with little
commercial intercourse between
the two.
The Eastern zone was the main
food producer in old Germany
The deficit in domestic food sup
plies, caused by the division OF
Germany, now is about IS per cent

the Court held that segregation
was not discrimination. Reject
ing the contention that enforced
separation of races was "a badge
of inferiority," it put forth the
thesis that if it caused such feel
ings "it is not by reason of any
thing in the act, but solely be-
cause the colored race chooses to
put that construction on it,"
Anyone who knows human
beings and the ways Of men
knows this isn't so at all, how
ever one may stand on segrega-
ton. It was in a dissenting
opinion in this case that Justice
Harlan made his famous observa-
ton that: Our Constitution is
color blind"
Used As Red Propaganda.
Since that decision, which was
just two years before the United
States took it's first, faltering
steps into the stream OF world
politics, much has happened.
Among other things. our Nation
has become a dominant world
power with great moral influence
that goes with its sheer physical
strength and flows from its tradi-
tions. AS a consequence, discrimi-
nations here tend to tarnish that
moral influence and are exploited
by those who would discredit us,
as manifest now in the propa-
ganda use that Communists are
making Of racial determinations
in the worlds greatest democracy.
There is something of all of
that, as well as the plain intent of
the 18th Amendment to our Con-
stitution, in the Justice Depart
ment's attempt to upset that 1896
concept in case soon to be
argued before the Supreme Court.
It may be possible to get broad
decision on the whole issue of
segregation. but at least the way
should be opened for a later case
directly on the constitutional
guarantees. Argument of the case
was postponed from October be-
cause of the accident suffered by
Justice William o. Douglas who
desires to participate, and it has
been set down for December.

increased since the Potsdam con-
ference in the summer of 1915
About 100000 expellees and
refugees have gone there from the
Soviet zone.
Before the war the food de-
ficiency was made up by exchang-
ing Germany's industrial output
for the agricultural products of
countries which could import
German products.
Dismantling of the German
plants which have nothing to dc
with the manufacture of wal
materials will keep this country
on the dole for a number of years
And since Britain, France and
other Western European nations
still depend on Marshall Plan
billions for their economic re-
covery, American money once
more will be required to keep
Germany - even shakily - on its
feet.
Agreement With U. S. Cited.
Britain, France and the Bene-
lux countries contend that dis
mantling cannot be halted be-
cause there is a definite agree
ment with the United States to
that effect. A change of policy
cannot be brought about unless
another agreement is concluded
and that, from the practical point
of view. cannot occur until the
major plants either have been re-
moved from Germany or dyna-
mited.
While this wrecking Of Ger
man industrial establishments
officially is in keeping with the
policy of preventing the Germans
from becoming aggressors once
more, the actual truth is that the
Western European nations are
worried lest. by hard work, the
Germans again become serious
competitors.
Economic officials Of these
powers point out that within 1e
months exports from Western
Germany have reached 36 per
cent of the 1888 level. And this
they say, is clear indication OF
how quickly Germany could get
back on it's feet and. presumably
become a great power once more
They overlook the fact that Bri-
tain has increased her exports by
160 per cent over the 1888 figure
and France by 100 per cent.
The German workers new slo-
gan that necessity knows no law
naturally worries the other West
ern Allies. These words, used
during World War I by Chancel-
lor Won Bethmann-H Hollweg. are
not used in the political sense
however. They mean the Ger
mans are under dire necessity to
work. putting in as long hours as
possible, regardless of union laws
and hours regulations. This is
the spirit which worries those
countries where work is tagging
If the Germans were allowed tc
keep what was left of their plants
they might. 1t is true, become
serious competitors in years to
come. But, meanwhile. the dis
mantling policy will force the
American taxpayer to dig into
their pockets to keep our former
enemy alive. while the British and
French will gain no other advant-
age than the elimination of O

cars adequate for the area. Mrs.
Lindbergh left in September to
put her children in school; he has
now gone, too-but not until he
had crammed his long legs into
the little car and driven $4,000
miles criss-cross Western Europe
up to the borders of Russia.
No closer. Mr.. Lindbergh was
careful not so much as to set foot
into the Russian zone Of Berlin.
He said wryly that he thought the
Russians didn't like him and
might welcome the chance to nab
him on a technicality.
Will Write a Book.
The Lindberghs will write a
book on their experiences. 1t will
relate, it is understood, to both
what people have told them and
their own observations and con-
clusions.
OF one thing he is sure, Mr..
Lindbergh has told friends. which
Is that the Germans. like our
Allies, the French. Norwegians
ETC.. do not want first to be
abandoned and then liberated
We shall not, they expect him
to contend, get good results in
Germany unless we set it within
the line which Russia must not
pass.
This Of course raises one Of
the countless hard questions in
herent in the situation here. Car
Germany be safely re-armed to
any degree? If Germany believes
she is to be left defenseless, can
the democracies expect good polit-
ical results here now? etc.

to excite as much controversy as
Mrs. Lindbergh's pre-War THE
Wave of the Future" and Mr..
Lindbergh's isolationism did. 1t
could form a new rallying point
for the stubborn isolationists in
Congress who In the past have
found Mr.. Lindbergh a convenient
page-one vehicle.
Had No Official Mission
1t is stated reliably that the
Lindberghs were here as private
citizens and had no official mis-
sion - public or secret. How
ever, he has old friends in the
Air Force, certain to be influenced
by his opinions as a professional
flyer.
With them he was available,
friendly and communicative. With
the general run of Americans he
was remote, and with the press
he was, as always, entirely hos
tile.
His friends say that Mr.. Lind
bergh wants to be allowed to live
as other Americans. This is not
quite accurate. Americans are
gregarious and free-wheeling. Mr..
Lindbergh does not, obviously
want to mingle with others; he
wants to be left alone to do his
own choosing of what he shall do,
where and with whom he shall
go. 1t is privilege Americans
don't grant their heroes. 1t is fair
to add that most United States
heroes - Roosevelt. Macarthur,
Eisenhower-lap up crowds like
w. G. Fields did martins.
In any case, Mr.. Lindbergh re-
fused every request even to
pose for his picture. His message
was that the Oldest and worst pic
ture used, the better it suited him.
