THE SPECTATOR
ANOTHER YEAR 10 HERE

Another New Year is upon us,
and regretfully we must face the
fact that the troubles of this old
world are far from settled. In fact
this new year finds another very
serious and dangerous war going
on in the far east, which has
every indication of one which
may develop into world conflict.
Once again, it must be said that
nation does not trust nation -
mankind does not trust mankind,
and so, the plight of world peace
remains a grave question in the
minds of its best thinkers.
Until that day comes when the
people of this world will learn to
treat each other as they would
like to be treated - until the
golden rule becomes the guiding
light of the relationships of the
peoples of this world the future
plight of all of the people will al
ways be a grave question in the
minds of everyone.
Here's hoping that by the time
that another new year rolls
around the much sought for and
long awaited peace and happiness
will prevail throughout all of the
world.

Banker Urges Nation
To Increase Savings
AS Curb on Initiation
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-Most of
the current inf1ationary problems
would be solved if the American
people would save more and spend
less, A. l.. M. Virgins told the
Nations bankers today.
Mr.. Virgins is chairman of the
bank of Hartsville, s. c.. and
the Atlantic Coast Line and Louis
vile g. Nashville Railroads. He
spoke at the 18th annual conven-
ton of the American Bankers
Association.
Mr.. Virgins declared that the
needs of increasing savings are
greater now than ever before and,
in particular for increased pur-
chases of Government Savings
Bonds.
Favors Control of Loans.
Commenting on available meth
ods Of curbirlg imitation, he said:
2 In the general credit field it
has long been recognized that an
effective control of loans to bust
ness may be used to dampen in
f1ationary pressure. Speculative
loans and other loans to finance
unneeded material and supplies
have no place in an. inflationary
economy.
Increasing interest rates on
loans has long been regarded as
a deterrent to excessive borrow
ing. However, this is an area in
which there is less freedom of
action under the realities of our
present large national debt, and
its ownership, than would be pos
sible under other conditions.
Sees No Free Money Market.
$50 long as the commercial
banks have Al per cent Of their as
sets in the form of United States
Government securities, for which,
in the public interest, an orderly
market must be maintained, there
is a severe limitation on any ac-
ton that may be taken by the
Treasury Department or by the
Feedral Reserve System to raise
interest rates"
Noting the size of the National
debt. Mr.. Virgins said that inter-
est rates on Government securities
and interest rates generally are
almost completely under the
power and control Of the Govern
ment.
"1t is unlikely" he added, "that
in the foreseeable future there
will be or can be a return to
So-called free money market"

commissioner untenable." said the
59-year- Mr.. O'Brien, son of g
policeman and a veteran of near
ly 35 years on the force. He was
not accused of any dishonesty
himself.
Mr.. Impelliteri also said Mr.
O'Brien's position was untenable,
and that they both agreed a resig-
nation was in order.
The acting Mayor revealed he
had decided definitely on the
Brien-Murphy switch yesterday
after receiving a communication
from the Brooklyn grand jury.
The police commissioner is re-
movable by the Mayor or the Gov
ernor. Mr.. Impelliteri'S term runs
out at the end of the year.
Mr.. Impelliteri, campaigning for
election in November, ditched any
plan he may have had to pick a
new police commissioner from the
ranks.
Instead, he turned to the A.
year-old Mr.. Murphy and made
him the first non-policeman to
head the force in 16 years.
The grand jury, backed by
Brooklyn District Attorney Miles
F. Mcdonald and County Judge
Samuel S. Leibowitz, curtly de-
manded a civilian commissioner
yesterday to clean up IAN awful
mess"
Up to Commissioner.
AS for further changes in the
Police Department, Mr.. Impel-
litteri said last night:
THAT is entirely up to the new
police commissioner"
The mustached, 6-foot-4 Mr..
Murphy won a national reputa-
ton in two trials that ended with
Hiss conviction for perjury. Hiss,
formerly high-ranking State
Department official, was convicted
of lying when he denied before a
Federal grand jury that he had
passed out department secrets for
a Soviet spy ring before World
War II. Hiss now is appealing a
f1ve-year prison sentence.

School, Atlanta, Ga.
DR.. Sebrell has been director Of
the Experimental Biology and
Medicine Institute since that
agency was formed two years ago
by a consolidation of several other
laboratories at the National In
stitutes of Health. Before that,
he headed the physiology labora-
tory.
In World War II, he was CO.
director of the National Nutrition
Porgram, which co-ordinated the
activities of all State agencies
working on nutrition. The work
accomplished under this program
materially aided in the produc-
ton of food and the maintenance
of civilian health during the war
years." DR.. Scheele declared.
The new director also served on
the survey team which restudied
German nutrition in 1948. For
that work, he received the Army
Legion of Merit decoration.
DR.. Sebrell began his research
career under the late DR.. Joseph
Goldberger, Public Health Service
scientist who discovered that
pellagra was caused by diet de-
ficiency.
Born in Portsmouth. Va, in
1901, DR.. Sebrell received his
medical degree from the Univer-
sity of Virginia. Immediately
after graduation, he entered the
commissioned corps of the Public
Health Service as an assistant
surgeon. He now holds the rank

fective in 80 days, unless the Su-

Jackson'S order came only two
days short of that 30-day limit.
Parallels Bridges Action.
His action paralleled a recent
decision by the Court of Appeals
in San Francisco allowing Harry
Bridges, West Coast labor leader,
to remain free on bail pending an
appeal from conviction for perjury
in denying Communist aftlliatiop
when he applied for United States
citizenship in 1945.
"If assume that these de-
PENDANTS are disposed to commit

full to Communist countries JUS
tice Jackson wrote, lit is still diff
f1cult to reconcile with traditional
American law the failing of per-
sons by the courts because of an
ticipated but as yet uncommitted
crime"
Justice Jackson observed at the
same time that the plea of "ad-
mitted Communist leaders for lib
critics and rights" was "hypocriti-
CAP in the sense that Communists
have denied such rights to all
persons wherever Communists
have seized power.

NEW YORK. Sept. 26.-The
United States is speeding up diplo-
matte action on Korea, to match
new battlefield successes of ad-
vancing United Nations military
forces.
Informed sources said last night
that the United States delegation
at the U. N. would begin informal
talks at once with other delega-
tions about the immediate future
of Korea.
Top priority will be given to
discussion of how far the U. N.
armies will go-whether they will
stop at the 38th parallel, which
once divided the U. N.-sponsored

manned loyal to Russia despite
their conviction and the Korean
war.
Justice Jackson, while con-
demning communism, held yes
terday in an eight-page opinion
that falling of the 10 men pend
ing final determination by the
Supreme Court would violate
American rights and enable them
to pose as martyrs.
Justice Jackson also said he be-
lieves the case involved "substan-
tial questions open to review by
the Supreme Court"
Disastrous Effect Seen.
%There would be a disastrous ef-
feet on the reputation of American
justice if I should now send these
men to jail and the full court
later decides that their conviction
Is invalid" he said. "The right
of every American to equal treat
ment before the law is wrapped
up in the same constitutional bum
die with those of these Com
munists.
''If in anger or disgust with
the defendants we throw out the
bundle, we also cast side protec-
tion for the liberties of more
worthy critics who may be in
opposition to the Government of
some future day."
Federal authorities, Justice
Jackson commented, undoubtedly
will keep a close watch on the 10
men while on liberty pending Su-
preme Court action on their ap-
peal. He remarked that he was
mot naive enough to underesti-
mate the trouble-making propen-
sites of these defendants.
But" he added, under no cir
cumstances must we permit their
symbolization of an evil force in
the world to be hallowed and glo-
rif1ed by any semblance of
martyrdom.
The Supreme Courts attitude
toward the intended request for
review Of the case is being await
ed with unusual interest. The
appeal is believed almost certain
to contest the constitutionality of
the Smith Act under which the II

also includes questions about the

Milk Cold War Hiis
 Dip|om atit nj
 As Survey Promised

The cold war brought on by in vasion of fresh Canadian milk into the Juneau area has hit the high diplomatic arena in Alaska, as Com missioner of Agriculture Clyde G. Sherman of Fairbanks has entered the battle-ground with an investiga- ton of the situation.
 This was revealed today in a let ter he wrote Acting Governor Lew M. Williams, stating considerable study" on the Juneau milk situation is being carried on and that the most logical approach to the sup- ject is to ask the Alaska Research Administration to conduct cost ot production survey in the dairy in- iustry."
 If this survey shows a justifica- jon of local dairymen's claims they ire being forced into bankruptcy oy appearance of the Canadian pro- iuct on grocery shelves, he suggests hey petition for a higher tariff.
 Sherman promised the matter will not be dropped until the prob- .em is solved. Consumers should be ware of the fact there is no assur- ince that milk will be 25 cents luart if local dairies are forced out )f business"
 During the height of the milk var here. prices dropped from 20 cents to 25 cents on local milk, forced down to that price by the Canadian milk. It has since gone pack up. with the foreign product LOW selling at 30 cents.
 Sherman expressed concern thSt yhe nonresident" milk might in- wade the Fairbanks and Anchorage areas, in a letter of warning to Don L. Irwin, director of the Alaska Experiment Station at Palmer.
 He said that from information he received that dairy producers in Southeast Alaska might be forced .nto bankruptcy unless some ac- ion is taken"
 However" he continued, we nave no assurance Canadian milk will be marketed at prevailing prices once dairymen are forced out"
 The Federal Import Milk Act applies only to the 48 states, accord ing to information reaching Serman from John O. Malott, production and marketing administrator for Alaska. The present import order applies only to fats, oils and rice, he said, with milk not subject to it.
 Several months ago only one gro- cery handled the milk here. Now three put it on their shelves.

They want to be able to vote in Presidential elections and they want to elect voting representatives in Congress" he continued.
 ITO this lack of voting repre- sentation may be ascribed such dis criminations, for example, as the non-application to Alaska of the Federal Highway Act, despite Alaska's great need for roads.
 "The smallest state has two Rep- resentatives in the Senate and one in the House. The citizens of the United States who live in Alaska are entitled to like representation"
 Chapman said that until recently virtually all development in the Territory was carried on by absen- tee capital which did Alaska al- most as much harm as building up of industries did good"
 The Secretary told of the work being done in the Territory by his department and said that Alaska's present population is well over 100000 persons. But, he said, Alaska needs and wants a larger permanent population and the way to provide for it surely and speedily is to grant statehood"
 Fraud" Obtained It
 "As a nation. we have an in- terest in a strong Alaska" Chap man said, especially in this period of the cold war. Alaska is just 56 miles across the Boring Strait from Russian Siberia. It once belonged to Russia and recently the official Soviet press organ has charged 1t was acquired by fraud and that the Czarist government had no authority to dispose of it.
 We are told there is considerable military activity in Siberia, near and beyond the border" he added. We cannot afford to neglect Alaska, to give any indication that it is not just as important a part of the United States as any one of the present 48 states.
 we must provide for Alaska, in the speediest and most efficient manner, a strong political and eco- homie systerm. to bind it even more closely to the mainland than it is now bound by ties of blood and kinship, political heritage, com- merce and community interest in national and international affairs"
