These Things Remain

The turning earth has brought rlv

The tUilter fields. netD-plowed. and lately

Once more young leaves are rtppIed By

The eager birds return. spring disciplined
And faithful as gardens grotcinc

These things are peace. 80 let Us firmly
trace
This changeless pattern on the heart
and brain;
These things are truth that time cannot
erase;
Blessings that nIiDays tDtH recur again.
Though wtnter storms may take bitter
toll.
These things remain. fortress for the
soul.

The Open Door

Once for the lack Of horseshoe a
battle was lost-so it goes that little
things are sometimes big things.
This evening I turned the pages of
The Star, and my eyes rested on B-1
and stuck there while I tried to think
was there such thing as fate playing
into my hand? had lapsed into head
ache because on the table in front of
me lay huge pile of my boss important
letters which I had lugged down to
Franklin Station for mailing. Finding
the door to the street open, naturally
kicked and slugged at the heavy glass
door on my left there without any ap-
prehension of what was at my con-
venience on the right. I followed the
line in front with kick and cuss and
out again-to make room for the on
coming rush loaded down with packages,
parcels. rubbish and what do you have.
Then, Juggling the junk home, I set
tied myself to work out how the dickens
would get the stuff mailed next day
and still spend the day in the Office.
Get fired I was sure would!
Well. well, bless The Star! saw the
article and the sign which surely wasn't
up when was there.
IeCouAe. SIdUUcu lCIOcIS, pdICGlS-
and with Dagwood dash rushed again
for old Franklin Station. And there,
right under my nose, was the entrance
to the right with the "Self-service den"
I deposited the whole business, went
back home and had a good nights rest
and nobody is the wiser.
To make long story short, I was
benefited. my boss was benefited,
bought an extra stamp to write this
letter and the Government is richer by
3 cents. I'm taking The Star now
and you're little richer by 2 or 8
cents day. And all because of modest
little man who did the best he could to
help us. It's like helping the man be-
hind the man behind the man behind
the man behind the gun.

You did me great favor through
the little writeup and picture of the

forth as the outside door remained open.

The Remington Indictment

The indictment Of William w. Remington
by Federal grand jury in New York means
that the questions raised by this strange case
will be settled as they should be settled-in a
court of law on the basis of provable facts
Mr.. Remington stands accused of perjuring
himself when he told the grand jury last month
that he had never been Communist. But this
case actually had its beginning nearly two years
ago.
In July 1948, Elizabeth Bentley, self
confessed former Communist spy, told Senate
committee that Mr.. Remington, Commerce
Department economist, had given her secret
Government documents and had paid Com
munist dues to her. Mr.. Remington admitted
knowing Miss Bentley, but denied her main
accusations.
He was suspended from the Commerce De-
partment and the Fourth Regional Loyalty Board
recommended his dismissal. This was reversed
by the Loyalty Review Board and he was re-
instated. Last month, however, there was
sudden revival Of congressional interest in the
ease, and Secretary of Commerce Sawyer said
that Mr.. Remington and another employe would
be dismissed If they did not resign. Mr.. Sawyer
said that "tnis action is in no wise intended to
reflect the loyalty of either of these two men,"
That is position which cannot be main
tanned now with respect to MIR. Remington. Sec
retary Sawyer apparently agreed to dismiss the
two men in the hope of heading off congress
sional investigation. But that action, wrong in
any event, now becomes absurd, for the indict-
ment against Mr.. Remington is one which clearly
bears on his loyalty.
Like any other accused person, he is entitled
to a fair trial. That opportunity would be
prejudced If Mr.. Sawyer were to press his dis
missal action. What he should do now is to
suspend the accused employe pending the trial,
and be governed in any future action by the
evidence produced

Law Enforcement Teamwork

John L. Laskey, president of the District Bar
Association, has made a constructive suggestion
in proposing creation of District claw enforce
ment conference" on a permanent basis The
idea was advanced at the annual Judicial Con-
ference for the District of Columbia Circuit.
What Mr.. Laskey proposes is, in effect, broad
ening of the judicial conference plan to include
representatives of all agencies concerned with
improving law enforcement in Washington.
The general conference proposal is not
new one. 1t had been advocated in varying
forms by the Davis subcommittee on local crime
and the Washington Criminal Justice Associa-
ton. bar association committee is studying
the Davis subcommittee recommendation. Mr..
Laskey favors an independently organized con-
ference, rather than one under congressional
sponsorship or the sponsorship of any particular
law enforcement group.
The Judicial Conference has proved well
worth while. BY bringing judges and lawyers
together at regular meetings for the frank dis
cuSsion of court problems it has been possible
to effect closer coordination of the various
courts, both as to policies and procedures. This
has resulted in reforms that have helped to
reduce delays in handling cases. bring about
greater uniformity in fixing penalties and gen.
orally to improve the machinery of justice. There
Is still need for better liaison between the courts
on one hand and the other arms of the law,
including prosecutors police, probation and
parole officers and other public agencies. A
forum in which all of these important branches
of law enforcement could thresh out their prob
lens and work together for their own good and
that of the public ought to prove profitable
for all.
Furthermore, such broadly representative
conference would be in position to criticize any
particular law enforcement Notwithstanding
the judicial-and to make recommendations that
would carry considerable weight. If the District
Bar Association could assume the leadership in
organizing such conference it would be render
ing a notable public service. 1t would undoubt
edly find that there would be widespread support
for the proposal not only among law enforce
ment authorities but the public generally. For
better teamwork means better law enforcement
all along the line

Hot Weather and Annual Leuye

The Government employe has always
been fair game for the politicians, but
never more so than now. The latest blow
is reported in last Saturdays Star: The
announced intention Of the White House
to ask that those clerks who are ex-
cused from duty in hot weather (be-
cause of the poorly ventilated and
scorching buildings in which they work.
be required to take the time on annual
leave. What next?
The Federal employe usually works
under the threat of congressional ac-
ton to reduce his pay. lengthen his
hours, deprive him of some of his leave
or remove him from his job altogether
1t might be good for the economy
drive to begin in congressional Offices.
Saturdays Star also reports the inten-
tion of Representative Magee of Mis-
souri, to turn back to the Treasury over
$4,000 of the $12,500 per annum al.
lowed him for clerk hire. and $400 of
the $500 per annum allowed for tele-
grams and long distance telephone calls
Perhaps some cuts could be made here,
to the taxpayers benefit, SO that the
people "back home" might believe that
some reductions in the cost of Govern
ment is really under way-with the
clerk, for once, not the victim
Marie Kent.
If the one who Matched the bright
idea would spend just one hour in one
of the temporary buildings, which gen.
crate heat, when the temperature hovers
way UP in the nineties, intensified by a
heavy tar roof he would of a surety
see why the employees should, as has
been the previous practice, be dis
missed under such conditions.
