Penalty for Treason

If there be those who feel that Axis
Sally has been unduly punished for her
reasonable offense, they would do well to
remember that the penalty imposed on her
is relatively light as punishment for trea-
son goes.
Her sentence was ten to thirty years
imprisonment and $4,000 fine. In the
two other cases of treason arising out of
the late war the guilty defendants received
life sentences.
Accepting as true the stories they told
at their trials, there is, in sense, more
to be said for the two men-Robert H.
Best and Douglas Chamberlain for Axis
Sally. The men apparently acted from
some sense of conviction, distorted though
it was. They believed, or at least they
claimed to believe, that they were serving
cause-that they did not betray their
country for personal gain.
Axis Sally claimed that she acted under
the compulsion of romance, fear and
kind of spell cast over her by man. But
the jury, and not without justification,
evidently concluded that she was pri-
marily interested in getting what she
could for herself, even at the price of
betraying her country. If this is so, If she
simply sold out to the enemy, she has not
been too severely punished
Evening star., 1949-03-26

diamond allegedly was flched from a
Hindu temple. It was worn by tragic
Marie Antoinette at the request of equally
unfortunate Louis XVI. The McLeans,
having paid more than $4,000 for it.,
were unhappy.
But it was not the jewel alone that sent
the Capets to the guillotine. They prob
ably would have lost their heads even if
it had been a lucky stone. Circumstances
were arrayed against them. Mrs Mclean
repeatedly made similar observation
concerning her family. 1t was not exempt
from the influences of uncongenial times
and easily might have had its full share
of difficulties If it never had heard of the
Hope bauble. Mrs. Mclean declared over
her own signature: II don't think for a
moment that this dark, lovely stone has
any power to hurt. After all, the old
saying is very true: Thought is master
of the man." Shakespeare put 1t in the
words: 1.-THE fault, dear Brutus, is not in
our stars, but in ourselves, that we are
underlings"
Evening star., 1949-03-26
UnIucky Gems

Discussion of the impending sale of the
jewels Of the late Mrs. Evalyn Walsh Nc
Lean inevitably has raised once more the
question: Are some gems unlucky in the
sense of causing trouble for their owners?
The obvious answer is Yes, II people
regard them as having intrinsic powers.
It is long way from the Hope diamond
and the Star of the East back to primitive
man in the valleys of prehistoric Asia,
Africa and Europe, yet scientists have
traced to those ancient sources the mod
ern notion that inanimate objects possess
human characteristics for good or Ill. The
name applied to the custom referred to
is anthropomo morphism. It Is derived from
a Greek phrase, meaning the human form.
All undeveloped intelligence, it seems,
tends to imagine personality in natural
phenomena. Thus, long before the story
of Thor and his thunderbolts first was
written in any sort of script somebody
had identified flashes of Lighting and the
crash of colliding clouds with deity en-
dowed with such ordinary earthly traits
as jealousy and pride. Mrs. McLeans
beautiful stones are first cousins" of
the solemn idols of Easter Island, the
Sphinx of Egypt, the bronze Anita Buddha
at Daibutsu in Japan, the carved rocks
at Petra in Trans-Jordan, the Athena of
the Parthenon and ten thousand other
examples of mans association of himself
and his destiny with objects which have
life only a. he gives 1t to them. The Hope

When Is It Treason?
Opinion Upholding Chambers Conviction Answers
Many Questions Raised by Axis Sally Case
By George Kennedy

Many questions raised by the trial of
Mildred E. Gillars (Axis Sally on a charge
Of treason are answered in admirable legal
prose by the opinion of Calvert Magruder,
chief judge of the First United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals (Boston), upholding
the treason conviction of Douglas Chandler
on similar evidence.
Judge Magruder. a native of Maryland
and a graduate of st. Johns College, An
napolis, is well known in Washington. He
left his chair at Harvard Law School in
the 1930s to become general counsel for
the Labor Relations Board and for the
Wage and Hour Division.
Chandler, a native of Chicago and an
American citizen, conducted Paul Revere"
program from Radio Berlin during the war,
with Yankee Doodle as his theme song
played on a flute over the sound Of gallop-
ing horses hoofs. He was a rabid anti
Semitic who went to Germany voluntarily
to extol Hitler's Reich and its Nazi minions
as the bulwark of Western civilization
against what he thought to be the jewish
Bolshevist menace. He was indicted here
and would have been tried here but for the
fact that the plane bearing him back had
engine trouble and landed at the Air Force
base at Westover Mass. Congress in 1890
directed that person charged with treason
abroad should be tried in the district Into
which he may first be brought" Chandler
was tried in Boston. The witnesses to the
overt act required by the Constitution were
officials of the Nazi radio station. He was
convicted.
One of the questions which the defense
raised repeatedly in the Axis Sally trial was:
Why was this woman being tried for treason
when statements similar to the ones she
made on the radio had occasionally appeared
in some American newspapers? Conversely:
Why were not the publishers responsible for
such statements on trial?

For Open Bidding

In rejecting the application of the
Potomac Electric Power Company for per-
mission to negotiate $37 900, 900 bond sale
with three insurance Arms, the District
Public Utilities Commission followed a
long-standing rule favoring competitive
bidding in such deals. The rule Is good
one. 1t permits of exceptions only when
the applicant can show that direct nego-
tiation would be more advantageous than
the somewhat more complicated and
expensive bidding process. f.H
The local commission adhered to the
competitive bidding policy even before
the Securities and Exchange Commission
promulgated a Federal rule to similar
effect in 1912 AS far back as 1895 the
PUG has held that bids must be solicited
from at least three financing institutions
and must be approved by the PUG. A few
exceptions to this general rule have been
made in cases where the utility was able
to satisfy the commission that private
negotiation would be not only advanta-
eeous to the utility but to the public which
it serves. Several such exceptions have
been granted the Washington Gas Light
Company
Reports of an impending Intervention in
the Pepco hearing by prospective broker
age concerns failed to materialize. The
only public opponent of the Pepco applica-
ton was Representative Celler, of New
York, who said he was acting as an
individual opposed to insurance-company
domination of utilities. But the commits
sion's decision was based chiefly on the
facts presented in support Of the petition
by Pepco officials The commission pointed
out that it could see no advantage to the
company in a transaction which involved
payment of higher interest rates than the
company is paying on the bonds scheduled
for retirement. Certainly if the advan-
tages of direct negotiation were outweighed
by disadvantages, the PUG was acting in
the public interest in disapproving the
proposal. Whether competitive bidding
will produce more advantageous financing
terms remains to be seen. At any rate,
the commission has on its side established
local custom as well as national policy in
calling for open competition wherever
possible in financial deals involving cor
porations which serve the general public.

Differs With NAACP Leade,

Differs With NAACP Leader
To the Editor Of The Star:
Mrs. Lille M. Jackson, head OF Marylands
NAACP, falls into the same error Of other
minority agitators. She assumes she speaks
for the majority.
If NAACP leaders believe the majority of
the people favor the socalled civil rights
legislation will those leaders agree to SUBJ
mitting the question to all the States in the
form of a Constitutional amendment?
In regard to the McGrath-W episode,
just few feet off the floor of the Senate:
Walter White is lobbyist, the same as any
other lobbyist. He threatened both Senator
McGrath and Senator Lucas calling them
from the floor while his legislation was un-
der consideration. Any other lobbyist would
have been arrested. and properly so There
is no defense for Mr.. Whites actions.
1t is to be hoped that new organization.
forming now on national scale to oppose
some of this minority pressure, will be able
to convince Senators that the noise in their
ears is from small. but vocal group of
agitators. Walter White exposed the scheme
of the equality groups when he urged
NAACP members to write the newspapers
and their Senators. He disclosed where most
of the pressure is coming from.
Mr.. White and the office holders in NAACP
must keep the agitation going in order to
keep the membership fees rolling in.
