Crime Inquiry
Gets Plan for
Questioning Of Fay
Indicates House Unit
May Prompt Action

A proposal Tor regular series
Iof conferences among law en-
forcement officials is under study
by the special House subcommit-
tee investigating crime here.
This was clearly indicated
today, as attention was directed to
one brief portion of testimony at
Mondays open hearing by United
States Attorney George Morris
Fay.
Buried among many thousands
OF words of testimony was a
direct recommendation by Mr.
Fay that there should be liaison
conferences to provide an ex-
change of ideas on law enforce
ment procedures whenever alb
norma, situations develop.
This seemed to be a tip-of as to
possible moves by the crime sub
committee to improve law en-
forcement programs here. While
officials were reluctant to make
any comment, there were indica-
tions that suggestions similar to
that voiced by Mr.. Fay already
had been discussed with variety
OF law enforcement officials here
by representatives of the House
group.
Chairman Shuns Comment.
Representative Davis, Democrat
OF Georgia, chairman of the House
subcommittee, said he did moi
wish to comment on this subject
preferring to let the story of thu
law enforcement investigation de.
velop at the public hearings.
Hearings by the Davis subcom-
mlttee were in recess today, but
are to be resumed at 1870 pm. to.
morrow. Another session is sched.
uled for the same hour Friday anc
there will be an all-day session
Saturday, beginning at 10 am.
Mr.. Davis emphasized today
TIL a t the subcommittee hac
reached no conclusion as tt
whether to make a special inves-
tlgation of gambling.
Decision Was Deferred.
He recalled that the subcom-
mittee. in starting hearings. hao
deferred decision as to whether il
should go into the gambling situ-
alton. This question, Chairman
Davis said, would be taken up al
some later date.
II the subcommittee decides te
go into the gambling problem, Mr.
Davis said, additional funds woulc
llbe needed.
4 When Mr.. Fay was on the stanc
4 Monday, he was asked numerou.
4 questions by Hylnan I. Fischbach
general counsel of the investigat.
ing subcommittee. These went int
the work of the district attorney
Office and it's relations with tn
courts and other law enforcement
Fagenoies.
f. Would Exchange Ideas.
AT one point, Mr.. Fay RESPONDED
with this statement:
1 Il am a proponent of sever,
punishment in all instances Mr.
F1schbach; and with respect tt
what you have already indicated
there should be a liaison confer.
ence of all law enforcement off.
Gals in the District.
Il am in favor of that. so you
have an exchange of ideas in the
determination of anything that is
running contrary to what shoulc
be normal"
Chairman Davis asked if Mr.
Fay meant "just one conference
or series of conferences"
| Mr.. Fay replied: II think you
should have continuance of such
conferences every month to deter
mine *''
When he broke off his sentence
at this point, Chairman Davis
asked him if he had finished, ano
Mr.. Fay said he had.

A Valuable Publicity Medium"

Senator Humphrey, Democrat of Minnesota
wants to abolish the Byrd Committee on Nom
essential Federal Expenditures on the ground
that it is used only as a publicity medium" But
a lot of people who are more worried about Fed
eral spending than Senator Humphrey seems to
be will contend that the committees publicity
activities are very good reason for continuing
1t in existence
1t is true that Senator Byrd and his col
leagues of the joint group have publicized freely
and often the inefficiences and extravagancies
of the Government. The committee has kept the
spotlight focused on the growing size Of the
executive establishment, trend that is all the
more disturbing in view of the fact that the
war emergency ended nearly five years ago. 1t
is hard to measure the benefits of this publicity
in specific terms. There is good cause to believe,
however that the watchdog role of the Byrd
Committee has had restraining effect not only
on the departments and Independent agencies
but on Congress as well.
To those who regard governmental retrench-
ment and thrift as old-fashioned and unneces-
sary, the Joint Committees frequent reports on
Federal expansion and spending are understand
ably irritating. That, in ITSELF is as good an
argument as any for making certain that the
committee keeps up the good work. The relatively
publicity medium is a profitable investment,
the returns on which in terms of administrative
savings can be large indeed.

By Charles E. TroceweN

Cleanliness is next to godliness," he
likes to quote.
Adding, as he goes along. that the
basis Of civic virtue is physical virtue.
Crime never becomes a problem in
communities where cleanliness prevails
Too many people unfortunately tend
to make city dirty by their untidy
habit Of discarding whatever they do not
want wherever they happen to be.
It is just that easy.
No world breaking matters, these, but
plain everyday civic duties slairked by
most persons.
Are not certain ones paid to do such
things? Well, then, let them do them.
But there is no law against others as
sisting them. And these unofilcial clean
uppers can do a great deal Of good as
they 6 along. if they go slowly enough.
Templeton Jones feels that the be-
ginning OF civic virtue is afoot.

One idea of service is to take up the
big world problems and be as active IN
them as one can.
Another idea is to be active in small
way in ones own neighborhood.
Templeton Jones advocates the sec
ond, and works at it in his tireless
fashion.
Most persons, he has observed, never
pay any attention whatever to keeping
their neighborhood clean.
Jones never sees trash at large without
disposing Of it.
He feels that part of this private in
difference to public property is because
of the automobile.
The man in car goes too fast to see
the stray piece OF paper, the old can.

night
Going afoot, Jones not only sees them
but he does something about them.
It is no rare sight in his neighborhood
to see the dapper executive going along
with large section of discarded down.

Critical people-and the world is full
of them-laugh at Jones for this sensi-
tivity to public cleanliness.

the whole world would be better If others

First Custodian Of Our Archives

When Congress passed an act creating the
National Archives the American Historical Asso-
citation recommended Dr. Robert Digges VIM
berly Connor to be the first National Archivist.
He then was the principal instructor in Amer
ican History at the University of North Caro-
lima and had served as State archivist and
secretary of the State Historical Commission.
Coming to Washington in 1884, he confirmed
here the impression of his sponsors that he
was indeed an exceptionally able and competent
administrator. The task committed to his hands
was a Trojan labor. tidal wave of documents
poured into his offices. The National Archives
Building, which President Hoover had believed
would require a century to fill actually was
iammed to its ceilings before DR.. Connor retired
in 1941. His. seven years tenure was one long
struggle to keep abreast OF incoming material
Most of his energies went into devising methods
and techniques, establishing systematic patterns
OF procedure.
Gradually the major problems were solved.
DR.. Connor remained in charge until order had
been brought out of chaos. Then he quietly
returned to his beloved University of North Caro-
lima. Washington remembers him as kindly,
generous man, easy to get along with, never
provocative in manner or bearing, tolerant,
congenial person. He made friends in the Ma
tional Archives and in the community at large
Among these his death last week is mourned
with full appreciation OF his worth to the Nation
and to the advancing cause Of philosophic schol-
arship throughout the world.

Two Kinds of Contempt

There is more than meets the casual eye in
Judge Keechs ruling that the United Mine
Workers must stand trial today on both GRIM
inal and civil contempt charges, for there is an
important difference between the two.
Punishment for civil contempt is designed to
coerce defendant into obeying an order of the
court, and to compensate the complaining party
for losses incurred as result of disobedience of
the order However, if the main action-in this
case the injunction ordering the union to call OF
the coal strike-should be declared invalid on
appeal, any punishment for civil contempt would
also be set aside.
The case of criminal contempt is quite differ
ent. The Supreme Court has said that sentences
for criminal contempt are punitive in nature, and
are intended to vindicate the authority OF the

Getting the Most Out of Arms Funds

The Marines won double victory when they
induced Defense Secretary Johnson to let them
reorganize their allotted strength on an eight
battalion, rather than x-battalion, basis. Mr..
Johnson's approval Of the plan will have these
effects: First it will enable the Marine Corps
to make the most of its combat potentialities
within established budget limits, and second it
will lend support to the Navys contention that
each service should have latitude in deciding how
to get the most defense out of restricted budget.
The Marine Corps had fought strenuously.
through appropriate channels, against the budg-
etary edict that the number of Marine battalions
be cut from eleven to six during the next fiscal
year. The arbitrary blueprintng of the Marine
Corps organization was resisted on the ground
that it left no room for unit realignment in the
interest of military efficiency and effectiveness
BY spreading its available personnel more thinly,
it was argued, the corps could maintain fve
battalions on the East Coast and three on the
West Coast.
There is a principle involved in all this that
the Navy considers important. 1t is that, after
budgetary ceilings have been assigned, the
responsibility for deciding how defense money is
to be spent should be left to the respective
branches. The principle was disregarded when
the Navy was overruled on the supercarrier.
Admiral Sherman, Chief Of Naval Operations,
succeeded recently, however, in obtaining Mr.
Johnson's approval for addition of seventh
carrier to the fleet with funds found elsewhere
in the naval budget-ncluding the 50 million
saved by converting the batteship Missouri into
a training ship. The carrier and Marine Corps
concessions indicate salutary change of policy
at the Pentagon in favor of greater discretion by
the services in adapting themselves to reduced
budgets.
