creases, personnel reclassification, better
retirement provisions and other reforms
calculated to make the service not only
more efhcient but appealing enough to
invite able men to enter and stay in it.
His contribution in that respect may be
regarded as typical of the kind of con-
structive work he has been doing in the
House since 1888.
According to those who know him we'll
for example, former Representative Jen-
nings Randolph, who served with him in
the House for many years-Mr. Kee is a
liberal in the best sense, a man with an
analytical mind, legislator who deliber-
ates carefully before acting, and an Ameri-
can keenly aware Of his country's grave
responsibilities in the world at large. They
are qualities that should stand him in good
stead in his significant new role at this
troubled and even dangerous moment in
international affairs

Equal Pay Relief for All

The Senate Civil Service Committee
acted wisely in rejecting q proposal to
include all Federal employees in the bill
to grant classified employees of the District
Government $3.50 pay raise The purpose
OF this raise is to correct the injustice done
District employees when Congress failed
last year to give them the same increase
voted for Federal employees in general
The injustice would be perpetuated instead
OF corrected II Congress now were to grant
Federal workers another $3.50 raise
unless, Of course, District pay were to be
boosted by twice that amount
The bill as reported by the Senate
committee does not deal with the injustice
done policemen, fremen and teachers, all
Of whom suffered the same pay-raise
oversight last year as did the Districts
classified employees. These special groups
are being taken care of under separate
bill, which Is pending before the House
District Committee.
Some opposition had developed earlier
in this committee to giving the teachers
the full $3.50 raise approved for policemen
and iremen, but 1t is indicated that these
objections have been overcome That Is
gratifying, for there is no logical reason
to discriminate against teachers In the
move to rectify year-old wrong done all
District employees. The inequities were
suffered by all of them alike, and all
should receive equal consideration in the
belated move to afford them the relief
which Is their due.

Axis Sally Convicted Herself

The Constitution says that no American
citizen may be convicted of treason except
upon the testimony Of two witnesses to an
overt act Of treason. The Government
produced those requisite witnesses at the
trial OF Mildred Gillars, alias Axis Sally.
But it was not merely the damaging testi-
mony of these witnesses from Germany
that proved her guilt. Far more damaging
was the testimony which Axis Sally gave
against herself For it was the beguiling
voice of Sally herself, carefully recorded
by our intelligence agents during the war,
which eventually condemned her for her
traitorious activities on the Berlin radio.
All of the defendants emotional dra-
matics, all of her tears, all Of her denials
on the witness stand could not Offset those
damning words which echoed into her ears
and those of the jurors-just as they had
emerged from the loudspeakers of Ameri-
can troops on the beachhead at Normandy.
The invasion broadcast proved to be the
deciding factor. This broadcast and the
others with their appeals to racial preju-
dice, their whispers of unfaithfulness at
home, their lying propaganda designed to
encourage desertions and mutiny, failed OF
their purpose, it is true. But the point at
issue in the trial was not whether Axis
Sally accomplished her aims but whether
she knowingly and willfully sought to
attain those aims
A jury, according to due process of law
and under the democratic concepts OF
Justice which Miss Gillars was only too
eager to take advantage OF when her fate
