Tomperinq With Justice

The District Court jury which convicted
Attilio Acalotti, so-called Mayor Of
Thomas Circle" on charge of attempt
ing to obstruct justice has done more than
mete out justice to one defiant law breaker.
It, in effect, has served broad warning
to all others with contempt for law en-
forcement that tampering with the process
ses Of justice is dangerous game.
If Acalotti, who Is under indictment with
thirty five other men on gambling charges,
had gotten away with his brazen effort to
frighten a Government witness, other
witnesses in the gambling cases would
have had good cause to fear reprisals
And testimony from witnesses laboring
under fear of real or implied threats is
not apt to be full or free.
The stern attitude which Judge Holtzoff
took toward Acalotti's crime was we'll justi-
ned. He not only denounced the defend
ant as lone of the men responsible for
turning 4 fine residential neighborhood
into one Of the criminal centers of this
town." but refused to release him on bail,
pending sentencing. AS Judge Holtzo1
told the jury, ANY interference with the
administration Of justice affects the funda-
mentals Of our Government and the public
welfare" Such challenges to law enforce
ment must be dealt with severely.

Aooin Impusse Over Austria

The new adjournment OF Four-PoWer
talks on an Austrian peace treaty Is the
latest and perhaps the most exasperatlng
episode in the long and dreary dispute
between Soviet Russia and the western
Powers over an issue never justified either
In law or in ethics. It is fresh instance
of Soviet non-co operation, chicanery, and
bad faith for which there can be no real
Justification.
Austria is the outstanding innocent VIC
tim Of the "cold war" between East ana
West. Long before the close Of World War
II, the victors had mutually pledged them
selves that Austria should be regarded as
q liberated" country and was to be re-
instated as an independent, sovereign state
with its e-Anschluss frontiers. It's zonal
military occupation by the victors was
declared to be a temporary exlgency TO
help the Austrians clean up Nazt remnants
and establish a stable government OF
their own choosing.
Abstractly, nothing could have seemed
more simple than the drawing up OF an
Austrian peace settlement. But as soon
as the Big Four began negotiating, Moscow
raised demands impossible for the Western
Powers to accept, since they would nave
made Austria mere satellite OF the Soviet
Union. Thus began the interminable series
of conferences, either on the high level OF
the Foreign Ministers Conference or on the
"spade-work" level Of their deputies, which
has gone on for more than three years,
periodically broken off when no common
meeting ground was seen to be possible.
Gradually, most of the long list OF con-
troyersial points were ironed out, and
last spring it looked as though Moscow
was becoming more accommodating. 1t was
in this relatively hopeful atmosphere that
the deputies renewed their talks IN New
York early this autumn supplemented by
informal talks between the Foreign Minis
ters gathered for the United Nations ses-
sion. Further progress was made until only
few minor points were left to be settled.
Yet it is over these picayune matters
that the Soviet deputy, Georgl laruoln,
has suddenly disrupted the proceedings.
And 90 unyielding was his attitude That
negotiations had to be suspended once
more, probably to be resumed IN London
sometime early next year. .t.
Since the differences themselves do not
make sense, the only logical deduction is
that Moscow has staged another stall from
quite different motives. And some OF those
motives are not hard to fathom. Chief
among them is Moscow's Discrimination
to quit Austria, not only because 1t hates
to lose this strategic bridgehead toward
the West but even more because its Aus
trians occupation Is the legal basis Tor its
Evening star., 1949-12-16

right to maintain supply troops" in Hun
gary and Romania to safeguard" its COM
munications with its Austrian occupation
zone. Legally, those troops would have
to be evacuated from Hungary and Ro-
mania within 80 days after an Austrian
peace treaty had been signed. That, how
ever, is the last thing Moscow wants to do,
with its feud with Tito's Yugoslavia sharp
ening and its Communist puppet regimes
in those countries on none too stable
basis.
1t is therefore reasonable surmise that
as long as the Tito-Balkan situation re-
mains so tense there will be no Russian
withdrawal from Austria, and hence no
peace settlement for that unhappy country.
In such a naked power problem, legalities
and equities obviously find no place in the
Kremlin's iron logic.

Steel Price Boost

It is too bad that Senator OMahoney
has prejudged the merits of the price
increase Just announced by United States
Steel. An unbiased appraisal of the justi-
fication, present and prospective, for this
action would serve constructive purpose
But Senator O'Mahoney, without waiting
to hear whatever justification there may
be- has Joined with the CIO In denouncing
the price increase.
BENJAMIN F. Fairless, president OF the
steel corporation, has said that the in
creases, which will average about per
cent, reflect actual and approaching
changes In the cost Of production"
That is a statement which will mean
little or nothing to most people. For 1t
sheds no light on the weight given IN the
price increase to the estimate OF "ap-
preaching" cost rises, nor on the validity
of the considerations upon which that
estimate was based Neither does it inform
the public as to U. s. Steeps present
profit position.
The Presidents fact-dnding board sug-
gested that the big steel firms should be
able to absorb the cost of the recently
granted pensions without price increase.
And Senator OMahoney says that U. s.
Steel profits after taxes for the first
three quarters of this year were $13S ,22s.-
600. In the corresponding period OF ls48,
which the Senator says was "a most profit
able year." U. s. Steel profits were
e88,O42,000.
Perhaps neither of these statements
should be taken too literally. There may
be perfectly legitimate factors in the
picture which modify the seemingly obvi-
GUS conclusions to be drawn from them
But If that is the case u s. Steel should
be prepared to set them forth in detail.
If labor unions, with the support OF
the Truman administration, are going to
be able year after year to impose demands
on industry which add more to costs than
Industry can afford to pay, then price
increases are inevitable. There is no
consideration OF public policy which i'm
poses any kind of obligation on cor
porate manager to let the enterprise IN
his charge sink below the level of profitable
operation. At the same time, however,
rises in labor and other costs should not
be used as pretext for unreasonable price
increases. That is the question which lies
at the heart of this latest price advance,
and it is regrettable that the opportunity
for full and impartial inquiry has oeen
st least partially foreclosed.

Mr.. Ewing Is Corrected

Having gone all the way to London in
search Of evidence to support the Presi-
dents and his own proposals for national
health insurance program, Federal Security
Administrator Oscar r. Ewing has at least
discovered that it is easy for travellers like
himself to get into hot water abroad when
they comment on their host country and
say things that are not accurate.
What has happened to Mr.. Ewing Is that
he has aroused the ire Of the United King
dom's Fellowship for Freedom In Medicine,
an organization founded and headed by
the Kings physician. He has done 30 by
declaring at a London press conference
that Britains national health service is
working remarkably WELL" that it has
been misrepresented in the United States
by critics of the administrations proposals,
that it is still being fought by only "a
small group Of diehard British doctors"
and that the Fellowship-which represents
this small group"-has been receiving
financial contributions from the American
Medical Association.
In reply to all this, the Fellowship
particularly resenting the suggestion that
It has been getting large ANA subsidies
in sort Of international conspiracy
against national health insurance any
where-has been at pains to issue special
and understandably barbed statement
making the following main points: %
That it has received, as tokens of sympathy,
about $40 from the chairman of the Med
ical Society Of Madison County Indiana,
and $40 from the American College OF
Physicians and Surgeons; and (2) that the
organisations membership, far from being
small" is made up OF almost 5000 doctors,
or approximately II per cent OF the total
number in active practice In Britain.
Further, the Fellowship has gone on to
observe that 1t Is fghting solely and simply
ITO keep party politics out Of medicine. !"

Criticizes Mr.. Mellett for Attack

To the Editor OF The Star:
In his column Of December &. Lowell
Mellett evidently had concluded that a
political attack should be launched against
Gen. Eisenhower because Of fear that he
might become q successful opponent OF the
present Fair Deal regime In 1852.
Wisely, however. Mr.. Mellett made no
direct attack on what the general 10 teach

cherished freedoms. -
What Mr.. Mellett does 10 to picture Gen.
Eisenhower O. m uninformed man Of limited
background, knowing little about really
earning living and being seemingly u1aflt
to know what the score is.
In his climax, Mr.. Mellett hints that the
men who fought under the general are not
going to risk hunger for the securities the
general ID preaching and that they are
going to get security some other way than
through thrift, individual initiative and the
exercise Of freedom: but what other way is
there? Certainly. not through paternalis-
tic government catering to any group chat

attack Gen. Eisenhower because he Threatens

Vienna Treasures ut National Gallery
Judged "Revolting in the Extreme"

Vienna Treasures at National Gallery
Judged "Revoltinx in the Extreme"
To the Editor Of The Star:
To one captious and insensitive visitor to
the Vienna collection Of paintings and
objects dart now on view at the National
Gallery. the moral and historical signifi-
canoe Of the collection proved stronger than
its esthetic value.
AS wandered through the galleries, 1t
was not 80 much the pictures that occupied
my thoughts as the reflection that was
examining at first hand the expression of
the taste Of decadent and now happily
defunct aristocracy. To many Americans
this group of priceless treasures must rep
resent an aspect Of luxury that is voluptuous
and revolving in the extreme.
Upon entering the first gallery my mo-
mentary impression was that had some
how strayed into one Of those exhibits of
sensational paintings that used to be one of
the attractions Of travelling carnivals. I
dare say many Western saloon keeper of
bygone days would have offered high prices
for some Of the paintings In the collection.
And I can think Of no more appropriate
shrine for many Of them than . wall behind
reekius bar, In some mining town saloon!
This criticism is no fatuous disparagement
Of the paintings as works Of art. There are
superb things In the collection; many are
renowned masterpieces. Nevertheless Is 1t
an tmpertinence to ask whether the often
thoughtless apology. But it's art!" relieves
the artist Of blame IT, for instance he has
been guilty Of corrupting the imasinAtion?
The more gifted. intelligent, and skillful
the artist the greater Is his influences for
good or evil in the world. It has too long
been taken for granted that artists, poets
and novelists are not expected to have .
sense Of moral responsibility. We moderns
have foolishly let ourselves be hoodwinked
into regarding the artist as special kind Of
man, sort Of spoiled child, or gifted and
amusing eccentric to be pampered and
tolerated:
It must be admitted, however, that paint
ers and poets are sensitive souls. Even
those who immune themselves in ivory
towers do not wholly escape the influence
Of the spirit Of their times, the Zeitseist.
Those men Of the Renaissance represented
In the Vienna paintings reflected their world.
Powerful and Irresistible forces were abroad,
and few were the artists who were not
swept along in the currents. Man had but
recently broken away from the spiritual
moorings of his life: from the deeps he was
rising to the surface, and artists and al
alike where whirled headlong into the shall
lows of the modern world.
Perhaps the lesson to be derived from
this is that what Is wrong with art at any
particular period Of history 10 what Is wrong
with the generality Of men at that same
period. sAVONAROLA.
