Bowie impeachment
Sought by LaughIin;
Inquiry Asked Of Lane

Attorney James j. Laughlin, who
has been feuding with States At
torney A. Gwynn Bowie of Prince
Georges County. now says he is
going to try to get Mr.. Bowie i'm
peached.
Mr.. Laughlin's latest move was
Ia letter sent yesterday to Gov.
Lane of Maryland asking the chief
executive to investigate the con-
duct of Mr.. Bowie with a view TO
removing him from Office"
At the same time Mr.. Laughlin
notified the Governor he is pre-
pairing petition for the impeach-
ment Of Mr.. Bowie.
Mr.. Laughlins ire stemmed
from an attachment issued by
Judge Charles c. Marbury of
Prince Georges County Circuit
Court Tuesday for the attorneys
apprehension. The order to bring
Mr.. Laughlin before the court to
answer contempt charges grew
out of the attorneys failure to
appear before the grand jury the
previous day on subpoena.
Mr.. Bowie said the subpoena
was valid. MIR. Laughlin said 1t
was not. MIR. Laughlin contended
he had appeared by invitation
before the grand jury to tell what
he knew about gambling in the
county and, since he was in an
other Jurisdiction. could not be
subpoenaed.
In his letter to Gov. Lane. Mr..
Laughlin argued that issuance Of
an attachment against him could
only have the effect Of hampering
any further investigation of
gambling activities in Prince
Georges County because nonresi-
dent witnesses would be unwilling
to go before the grand Jury In
Prince Georges County for fear
of reprisals.

this failure may deal a death blow
to the cherished utopian doctrines
Of those who insist that the only
solution to our troubles lies in
government paternalism. He is
stubbornly fighting on. but his
only hope Of SURVIVING. even tenn
porarily, lies in assistance from
the American Government.
Since 1946 the British govern
ment has received more help from
America than has any other
Western nation. We have financed
the Labor government to the tune
of more than $4,750, 10000 within
a period Of three years. Britain
got a $3.750, ,000, 900 loan from us
In 1946 and has received more
than $1,000, 100000 under the
European Recovery Program.
Lags in Recovery.
Yet. compared to continental
European countries like Belgium,
France, Holland and Norway,
Britain is long way behind in its
recovery.
According to economic reports,
Belgium not only has recovered
but is enjoying a small wave Of
prosperity. The reason is to be
found in the fact that while Paul
Henri Spaak, .Belgium's former
premier, was a Socialist. he prac-
ticed political. rather than eco
nomic socialism.
Although Belgium has the
densest population in Europe. and
although she has suffered from
the war, she has managed her af-
fairs so we'll with modest help
from the United States that today
she is probably the most prosper
Gus country in Europe. Socialists
did not attempt to nationalize
anything, but adopted a policy Of
live and let live in its economic
affairs.
Holland, which suffered from
Nazi invasion Of her home terri
tory and japanese occupation Of
her colonies, also is on a fair way
to recovery, in spite of serious

Shudders Over Britain.
The British crisis stems from
the worldwide shortage of dol

American generosity not yet hav-
ing turned the trick for them.
The State Department shudoers
as it contemplates Britain turn

made with Argentina. since United
States policy is based on peace
through world trade and world
economic opportunity.

ton hits Washington amid pre-
dictions that ECA will be cut in

It is reported here that Mr..
Martin inclines toward American
guarantee of private loans for in
vestment abroad. This would re-
quire new legislation for which
there is little time.

setbacks from Indonesian politi-
cal troubles. The Dutch govern
ment, realizing that socialism Is
still some time away, has refused
to experiment with any form OF
state paternalism. and today, in
spite Of the Nazi devastation, is
in a far better way than the Brit
ish Isles.
Even France, where the polit-
ical turmoil always has interfered
with its economies. the situation
is much better than in Britain.
After the fall Of the De Gaulle
regime the frequently changing
government, were composed Of a
mixture of Socialists and Commu-
nists, with Maurice Thorez, Mos
cows principal stooge in France,
as vice premier. Under such ad-
ministrations naturalization of
some important industries and A.
nancial Establishments was under
taken with devastating effects on
the public finances.
New Groups In Power.
Since the spring Of 1947 a new
administration, composed of po-
litical-not economic-Socialists
has been in power, with the Com
munists excluded. AS is usual in
France, the administration
changed three times in two years,
but the drive toward national
ization and paternalism received
a serious setback. The result has
been that France. while still in
serious political difficulties, is bet
ter of and less dependent on i'm
mediate American financial help
than Britain.
A similar situation exists in
Italy, where the Christian Social
lists, headed by Premier Alcide de
Gasperi, who also removed the
Communists from the government,
are doing a good recovery job.
Italy, much poorer in raw mate
rials and food than Britain, is
far better of today than the
United Kingdom is. State social
ism and paternalism have not
been seriously attempted in Italy.
Much Of the $4.75o, ,00o, 900 re-
ceived by the British government
from the United States was wasted
in admirable theological expert
ments such as naturalization Of
industries, state medicine and
other measures still considered
utopian. with the result that Brit
ain today is on the verge Of bank
ruptcy. Bankruptcy will become
a fact unless additional and i'm
mediate support is received from
the United States at once.
In the last four years, during
which Britain's Labor government
has had every opportunity to
prove that socialism in our time
is not a mere dream, it has man
aged to place the most powerful
industrial and financial country
in Europe behind all other coun-
tries on that continent.

made q lot Of history in this little
chamber, for the Senate met there
until 1859, and, long before their
day, it was the scene Of the read
ing Of the Monroe Doctrine which
is cited by some as . precedent
for the Atlantic Pact. But times
have changed. Modern politics
demands its trumped-up drama,
its high-powered promotion, and
for that a proper setting and

is true. too. in other segments Of

Should Expedite Job.
The only inference from his
comment is that Senators. because
they are debating this issue with
out benefit of a public gallery. will
therefore not discuss it fully and.
as a matter Of fact, that is what
is expected to happen.
It should, Of course. operate to
expedite business. It should make
it easier for both branches Of Con-
gress to do more, since attention
can be concentrated on getting
things done, rather than perform
ing for q public gallery. 1t cer-
tainly should conduce to more
business like procedure.

WAR WAS SAFER,

CINCINNATI, Ohio-R-The per- ills of war are mild compared to the hazard of peace, c. Fred Scrim- sher decided.
 Shot down three times in Navy planes during the war and still bearing assorted schrapnel and ma- chine gun wounds, Scrimsher, editor of an employee publication for Schenley Industries, Inc, here had the following bad luck in the last two months.
 He catapulted his car over an emtankment and suffered dislo- cated shoulder and head injuries. Thieves stole his car radio and spare tire. He collided with an- other car, ruining a fender. A slip on an icy street gave him a sprained knee and the explosion of flash bulb severely burned his hand. Finally, his wife contracted an infection that put her hand in splints.
 Scrimsher said the South Pacific was never like that.
