The Altered Records

1t is hardly possible that there can be an
innocent explanation Of the alterations made
In police record book at the third precinct.
Only two theories seem tenable. One is that the
official record was changed to cast doubt on
Major Barretts veracity. The other is that the
alterations figure in an attempt to frame up
case against Captain Richitt, formerly command
ing officer of the third precinct. 1t is possible
that the doctoring Of the records was the work
of some police underling, designed to further
some obscure purpose Of his own. But this seems
unlikely. It Is much more reasonable to believe
that this business reaches into the higher levels
Of the police department.
Major Barrett has been quoted as saying he
has whole lot more" evidence than has been
made public--enough to make a strong case of
perjury and Of altering the records against still
unnamed individuals. If this Is so it Is time
to act on that evidence. There has been too
much talk and too little action. II the evidence
is in hand, the case should be sent to the grand
jury OF put before trial board.

Edgar Lee Masters

Edgar Lee Masters, dead at eighty -one, leaves
o name which will endure in the history Of
American literature. He was poet by instinct,
by desire, by hope. His Spoon River Anthology"
is here to stay. Pretending to be compilation
of the truthful epitaphs of rural cemetery in
Illinois, it really is series of little canoes Of
agrarian village life in the United States in the
past century. Each brief impression Is work
of art. Many of the sequence contain brilliant
gems Of thought. For example, one tells OF

The female finch is olive-gray above,
with some white below.
She is a nice bird, but not the fash
her mate is.
They are on their way to the noun
tains of the more Northern States, even
as far as Hudson Bay.
They love to drop down at feeding
places, where they mix amicably enough
with the species which have been here
all winter.
The nest is mostly placed in ever
green trees, a slightly built one of roots,
bark, grass and flbers of vegetable mat
ter.
The eggs are four to six in number,
green-blue spotted with brown, black,
sometimes lilac.
His spring song. not often heard here,
Is said to be rapid. easily flowing,
melodious warble."
He has two unusual motions while
singing. One time he will fly upward
for two or three hundred feet, singing
wildly, after which he drops rapidly
down to the same tree from which he
arose.
The other motion is his dance around
the female. His crest held high, he circles
the lady, wings extended and quiverlng,
while he sings his warble very softly.
It is claimed that the female purple
inch can sing almost as well as her
mate. It is singing family, evidently,
for the immature males (which resemble
the mothers) sing almost as well as the
bright oldsterS.

conservative in comparison with Justices
Black and Douglas and the late Frank
Murphy and Wiley Rutledge.
It is possible. of course, that when he
returns to duty Justice Douglas will be
able to win over the newcomers, pull
them into that camp and thus restore
the relative balance which prevailed
year ago. But it is doubtful that even
Justice Douglas will prove influential
enough for that task.
On the other hand, Justices Frank
furter. jackson and Burton so far have
no assurance that they can count on the
new appointees' bolstering their con-
servative" wing. Some of the sharpest
dissenting language directed against
Justices Clark and Minton. for that mat
ter. has come from Justice Frankfurter.
That leaves Justice Reed-sometime
described as the Courts pivot man-and
Chief Justice Vinson to wonder whether
these successors to Justices Murphy and
Rutledge will join them on middle
ground, producing bench with no clear
leaning one way or the other.
Justice Minton gives evidence of his
legislative background but even more so
of his eight years on the Seventh Circuit
Court Of Appeals.
He stays close to the letter of the law
and to departmental procedures
He approved exclusion of foreign
born war bride, for instance, solely on
the Attorney Generals say-so that she
would be "prejudicial" to the Nations
interests. He ruled for the Internal
Revenue Bureau in wartime tax ex-
emption claim by Coast Guard reserve
officer.
But before jumping to conclusions
that he is strict, precedent bound un-
emotional legalist. consider his most
controversial opinion to date, in which
he maintained that law enforcement
officers, after arresting a man on a war;
rant. could search his Office without a
warrant. This opinion overturned a
Supreme Court decision of only two
years ago.
Justice Clark also has made a positive
showing on the court, notwithstanding
the negative consideration that he has
disqualified himself in almost score of
cases thus far.
His opinions have involved tax issues
or damage and property claims. He
sustained Federal admission taxes on
tickets to bathing beach operated by
a municipal park agency. He ruled that

Let the Tumult and Shouting Die

Now may Washington not muff its
great opportunity to exemplify the values
of the democratic way. In the Cardozo-
Central controversy, both sides have had
full and free opportunity to present their
case before the tribunal of public opin-
ions and the board of final judgment. A
decision has been reached
Let the partisans of the Negro COM
munity accept it with magnanimity;
those of the white community with
equanimity. Let neither side expect nor
offer recriminations or incidents. And
let us look forward to the day when the
battle lines in America shall not be
drawn on so undemocratic an issue as
race. " j. DOZIER,
Cardinal SpeIlman, as Any American,
Can Take Flag Anywhere, Readers Say
What purpose is served when one
American snipes at another for carrying
and honoring the flag of his country?
Has any Catholic American ever objected
to the display or reverent use of the
flag at the World Council of Churches
or at any other non-Catholic religious
gathering? Cardinal Spellman and the
American Catholics whom he has led
on pilgrimage to Rome had an Ameri-
can flag carried in their procession into
the Basilica. This was purely an act
of pride and love for country. John D.
White degrades us all by calling it an
act Of cheap propaganda.
Men like Mr.. White, who seem to
think that the flag is meant to be car
ried by men of his religious persuasion
only. should call to mind the four chap
lains of the Army, diverse in faith but
united in love of country and their fellow
men, who went down with their ship,
hands Joined in comradeship and hearts
turned toward God, The Father of us all.
Which Of these men would Mr.. White
have denied the right to honor and carry
the flag?
It should be, and is, the privilege of
every citizen, including Cardinal Spell
man. to display and carry the flag of his
country wherever he may be. God grant
that it will always be so.
DOROTHY M. SVIRBELY.
The code for display of the flag
specifies 1T should be displayed on
historic and special occasions" The code
sets out how the flag should be displayed
on such occasions, not who may display
the flag, or where.

For Mr.. Whites information many
groups of pilgrims from all over the

country's flag on pilgrimages to the

Air-Ground Coordination

There is growing evidence that the Air Force
Is developing its tactical airpower in reassuring
way-reassuring, that is, to ground commanders
who have feared that too much emphasis was
being given strategic airpower. The recent joint
United States-Canadian war games in the Yukon
revealed good coordination between ground
troops and flyers. And the current combined
land-sea- air maneuvers in the Caribbean will
provide a further test of close air support of
troops.
General Bradley and other infantrymen have
insisted throughout the process of unification-
a unification which saw the Air Force separated
from the Army-that the foot soldier must be
This assistance, they pointed out, must include
not only adequate protection against strafing
and bombing attacks but offensive aid as WELL
It was not until tactical airpower was brought
into play that our forces in Europe really began
to roll to Berlin.
According to Major General Robert NJ Lee,
commanding general Of the Tactical Air Com
mand, the Air Force is fully aware Of the i'm
portance Of close-coupled air ground operations
and is working in wholehearted cooperation with
the Army in perfecting such tactics. The Jet era
has brought new problems to the tacticians,
however One of these is how to adapt jet
planes to the small landing strips which ordi-
narily are used for tactical air operations under
combat conditions. Another problem is how to
slow up jets sufficiently for effective strafing
and bombing work. New weapons always pose
new problems. The series Of maneuvers being
held this year should be helpful in developing
the type of teamwork needed to solve these
technical and other questions.

The Soor Issue

The new agreements between France and the
Saar have evoked an exceptionally bitter reac-
ton from Chancellor Konrad Adenauer of
Western Germany. He sees them as something
stirring up waves of nationalisn1 among his
countrymen, as serious impeachment to good
relations between his Bonn government and
Paris, and as a development that may persuade
the Germans to boycott efforts to promote
European integraton.
But Mr.. Adenauers remarks, though under
standable in view of the Germanic character
of the saar, do not seem particularly wise or
realistic. At any rate, it is certainly fact that
unless the Germans keep their nationalism
within reasonable bounds, cultivate friendship
with France, and work with the West as whole
for politically and economically cooperative
Europe, they will be more than ever hard put
to get back on their feet
Actually, the new agreements are not really
surprising. They have been in the making for
some time and although serious objections can
be raised against them, France-from its own
standpoint-can argue good case for them.
Their major features include Cd fifty-year
French leases on the Saars coal mines,
CD an integration of the two countries rail-
roads, and 90 domestic self-rule for the Saar-
landers but with Paris given veto power over
their foreign policy, defense program and in
ternational economic decisions
In effect, as Mr. Adenauer has said, the
agreements have the characteristics of annex
ation." In fairness to the French, however, the
point needs to be emphasized that 1t Is type
OF annexation" that does not even remotely
resemble the Hitler and Stain brand. More
over, the Saarlanders themselves-despite their
Germanic background-seem to be we'll satisfied
with it, and all reports indicate that their
tie-up with France is bringing them consider
able prosperity, wholly apart from domestic
hand of the Nazis.
Another point worth emphasizing is that
the saar-with its population of about 100000
and its area of less than 800 square mies-has
shifted between French and German control no
fewer than five times in the past $50 years and
that after the First World War it was detached
from Germany until 1885, when its people
fired in part by Htler's contagious naMonalism-
voted to return to the Reich. Since it played
key role thereafter in building up the Nazis'
military power, the French now have natural
desire not to let the same thing happen all
over again.
Accordingly, Frances view, in its own way
seems quite as understandable as the view
expressed by Chancellor Adenauer. Perhaps
the two can be reconcied satisfactorily when
a peace treaty is finally written for Germany.
Meanwhile, even If the Bonn government has
real grounds for complaint, it is likely to gain
nothing from bitterness and agitation. It's best
hope rests in cooperating for the kind Of
economic integration in which regions like the
Saar can be made to serve not merely the
French or the Germans, but all Of Western
Europe.

LeopoIds War Record

Next Sunday the Belgian electorate goes to
the polls to decide whether their exiled King
Leopold shall return to his country and resume
his royal prerogatives This unique referendum
promises to be the climax of an issue which has
literally bedevilled Belgian politics ever since the
war. The nub Of the controversy is the role
played by Leopold in the surrender Of the Belgian
Army to the Germans on May %, 1s4o
That surrender, by exposing the left flank
Of the British then concentrating on Dunkirk
for evacuation, worsened the British position and
lessened their chances Of escape. At the time
and thereafter, the Belgian surrender was char
acterzed by British and French statesmen such
as Winston Churchill and Paul Reynaud as done
without warning or immediate necessity. Since
Leopold was responsible for the decision, his
action was condemned in those quarters as that
of an ingrate a poltroon, and traitor to the
common cause. Leopold's decision to remain
with his troops instead OF escaping by air to
head a government in exile, was likewise sharply
criticized.
These structures were widely accepted among
the Begians and formed the basis for the
decision not to permit Leopold to resume the
throne when the country had been liberated from
the Germans. However, another large section
of Belgian public opinion has defended him and
wishes his return. Unfortunately this difference
of opinion tends to run along racial and religious
lines, the strongly Catholic Flemings being pre-
domnantly for Leopold, while the French
speaking Walloons are mainly opposed.
While the issue has become so surcharged
with politics and emotion that new factual light
on the matter would probably change few votes
at this late day. it is interesting to note that
report on the matter has just been published
by two well-known Americans who have investi-
gated the official sources. They are Joseph p.
Kennedy, our Ambassador to Britain during that
period, and James M. Lands, former dean of the
Harvard Law School Their findings exonerate
Leopold from the charges of Churchill and others.
They maintain that the Belgian Army had done
everything possible and surrendered to avoid
useless destruction. If so, Leopold was not to
blame.
