Protecting the Children

May I suggest to parents in Prince
Georges County the possible results of
seeking protection for children in cases
of indecent exposure? It is utterly futile.
It is also a disheartening example of
Justice" for the children to witness
in court.
The case tried in the Circuit Court,
the other day, occurred at the parkway
in Green Meadows, and was marked by
excellent detective work by the Hyatts-
vile police. positive Identification by four
little girls on the day following the
occurrence, signed confession by the
accused and an offer through his at
torney in Municipal Court for him to
pay $50 fine and move from the COM
munity within "a hours. We. as parents,
refused the offer. although we were ad-
vised by the State that such action was
the only way in which the man could
be accorded any measure of justice.
Judge Bowie, in Municipal Court.
anticipated the difficulties in Circuit
Court and had the wisdom to try the
man in cleared courtroom. But he
stated that his hands were tied due to
a reversal in Circuit Court of similar
case which occurred at the University
Of Maryland. He stated that there was
no law requiring psychiatric treatment
for such an offense. and sentenced the
man to six months in the Maryland
House of Correction.
The man appealed pleaded innocent,
and the case was dismissed in Circuit
Court. The $64 question directed at
seven-yeaY-old child was. do you know
what God thinks of little girls who tell
lies?" The child finally broke down and
was unable to testify. Very clever de-
tense.
Our only consolation is that we have
learned that the man has now moved
to the District. where thank goodness
his next offense can be tried in closed
chambers, and if judged guilty he will
have proper treatment.
Isn't it time we in Maryland looked
into our legal system, before parents

Training MATS for War

The plan to tighten up on restrictions gov
erning use OF the Military Air Transport Service
as military airline will disappoint a lot of
service personnel, but some such step is neces-
sary if MATS is to fill effectively it's primary
wartime mission. This mission Is strategic sup
port of combat troops in the field It's planes
performed this job with remarkable efficiency
during the late war; but with the advent of
rehabilitation there has been a tendency to
regard it as general-purpose carrier-often in
competition with the commercial airlines.
The necessities of the cold war have been
such as to compel MATS to give special emphasis
to its secondary role of providing air transporta
tion between our bases in various parts of the
globe and this country. Running these far
ranging military airlnes has been good training
for pilots and ground crews, but not the broad
type of combat training that is desirable. 1t is
the latter sort of training that will be given
during the forthcoming air operations over North
Carolina. The transport planes will be used
In airft operations designed to supply troops
engaged in close combat with an enemy. This
requires intensive instruction and practice in
order to bring about proper coordination not
only with armies in the field but with other
air units.
Meanwhile there is concern in military
quarters over the lag in developing faster and
more efficient transport craft for supply and
troop carrier tasks. Admiral De Witt c. Ramsey,
president of the Aircraft Industries Association,
points out that Great Britain is far ahead OF US
in designing and producing jet transports Rus
sia, too may be even farther in front In another
war much will depend on how fast we can
deliver men and equipment to a given theater.
Our only jet transports today are on paper.
According to Admiral Ramsey and other authori-
ties, they are likely to remain on paper until
the aircraft industry is given some financial aid
in the costly task of developing satisfactory
prototype This subsidy problem is one which
must be faced frankly in any plan to bring our
pre-jet military transport service up to date.

Billion Dollar Market

No better indication of WaShingtons healthy
growth is to be had than the impressive Census
Bureau figures on retail and wholesale trade
trends in the Metropolitan Area from 1889
through 1943. The report shows that Washing
ton is in the full-f1edged billion dollar market
class, thanks to phenomenal business gains
during the past nine years Especially arresting
the percentages of increased trade in the city's
fast-developing suburbs. How we'll private in
dustry has been keeping pace-and prospering-
with the steady expansion of the Federal Gov
ernment and hence of the Federal pay roll is
evident in the statistical review.
1t is matter of local satisfaction that the
overall rise in Metropolitan Area business vol
ume from 1889 to 1949 was 207 per cent-as COM
pared with 200 per cent average for other
cities. The increase within the District of
Columbia was less than the general average,
however-175 per cent. But as WaShington'S
population spilled over into nearby Maryland
and Virginia communities, causing suburban
building boom of remarkable proportions, trade
Skyrocketed in those sections far beyond the
national rate. Fairfax County and Falls Church
experienced a 474 per cent increase in sales,
Arlington, 469 per cent rise; Montgomery
County, 1926 per cent, and Prince Georges County,
292 per cent
When it is considered that as recently as
1889, Washington's volume of retail business was
scarcely above the $40O million level and its
wholesale volume less than that, the city's 1948
billion dollar bracket totals are striking proof
of progress. That the rate of progress was
greater in the suburbs is only natural for there
was plenty of room for expansion there. Many
Washington mercantile establishments are ad-
juSting themselves to the suburban movement
by opening branches in or convenient to county
shopping centers. Thus, Washington prospers
as its environs prosper. And there is no sign of
any letup in the residential and business growth
of Greater Washington.

No More Crusodes
By Bruce Borton

have been reading two books about
two World Wars by men admire very
much. My only regret about the books
is their titles.
Former President Hoover wrote OF
Americas First Crusade" And Gen.
Eisenhower of Crusade in Europe"
I am allergic to the word crusade" It
Is associated with lofty thinking but
tragic results.
The famous Crusades Of history were
launched by the Christians OF Western
Europe to recover the Holy Land from
the Mohammedans; they spread blood
over the years from 1895 to 1891.
There were seven highly organized ex-
peditions, well prepared and financed.

But fve peoples crusades" preceded
them.
Three Of the five failed to get even as
far as Constantinople One initiated It's

Nowhere IN the Constitution OF the
United States is the President or the
Congress given any right or power to

The only power which Congress has
to declare war is for the national de.
fense.
We have won two World Wars In this
generation and, If our national interest
demands it. we can win another.
But we lost the crusade" to make
the world safe for democracy" and the
crusade" to establish the -four free

to obliterate communism.

somewhat better. They did capture the

Approximately 88 years ago we fought

later some of US are still questioning
the right of part of our citizens to a
