DEEPENING CRISIS

This present conflict in Korea is only one of many
danger points on the rim of the Soviet world And
it is not by any means the most important to our
security.
There still is reason whatever to suppose the
Soviet Government is looking for a gobal showdown
with the United States. But there is and more
evidence to suggest that the attack in Korea a
fent or else of half dozen thrusts designed
to dispense the forces of the West.
New demands have been made by the Russians
on the Government of Iran closely linked with Am
ercan interests in that country There are clear hints

The knowledge of these possible Soviet moves
is a major factor in American strategic planning.
And it raises very serious question OF military

The Communists are not the

often results in a settlement where
where should be none, which, Of
] course, is the object.
For instance, if two nomina.
Catholics are fighting each Other
in the courts and the issue is un-
related to Jews, but one lawyer
gets busy and works up stew TO
show that his opponents client

asserted anti Semites, what does it
prove?
1t proves that he knows them.
1t does not prove that he agrees
with them, likes them, supports
them, or that he hates Jews. Never
theless, the lawyer can make quite
situation out of that, embarrass-
ing his opponents client, partic-
uuarly if he has many Jewish
friends.
Congressional committees go in
for this sort of thing so much
hat it has become accepted prac-
tise. The extraneous questions
and answers do not help the COM
mittee to draw up legislation,
which is why they exist. 1t is
done to help one group smear an
other. 1t is an instrument of pol
itical and social purge. Yet, when
Senator Hickenlooper made his
charges against the atomic energy
commission and could not prove
them without giving away national
secrets, he was ridiculed. Then
Klaus Fuchs was arrested and con-
fessed and Gold, Slack and Green
glass were arrested Hickenlooper
was proved to be correct. Yet, it
was Hickenlooper, not the spies,
who were smeared.

President Quirino is trying to divert the lightning

Fipinos against "mperialists' in America on the
ground that they want to reoccupy the islands. 1t

straw man The Fiipinos free, no longer wards,
but friends. And they know it-and know, moreover
that when their independence is in danger the United
States is ready to come to their assistance and de-
fend it. Many new countries would like to have the
same assurance but the Philippines live in the KNOW
ledge, and the people cherish it.
For this reason the American people are troubled
over the whiting away of that independence by mis-
government and mismanagement. They would ike

If this is successfully then the confidence OF the
Filipnos in their government has chance OF being
restored and the President would find this Ma

work with the Juneau Icefield Re-

Thanks to the cooperation of the

I H ESE D A Y S
GEORGE E. SOKCLSKY
TERROR BY LAW

George N. Craig, national COM
mander OF the American Legion, ir
an ar.icie tffitled ~Terror BY Law,
reco,nts how in a suburb of New
York a real American arose tc
speali. Let George Craig tell it:
lie got up at town meeting
and declared, This town is under
the thumb of a gang of pinks and
reds and it's time that the real
Americans here did something
about it.
minutes later, this old-timer was
approached by two men of the
Communicated faction whom he
knew to be lawyers. One of them
showed his fist in his face.
You've just committed a vic
ious SANDER he said, and unless
you retract it publicly, we're going
to sue
Go ahead and sue, he replied.
WIZ I said is true and you know
it..
Maybe So the lawyer said
but you'll still have to lire lawyers
to defend you and before were
through with you, it'll cost you
every cent you have"
There is lots of that going on,
particularly in the matter of libel
suits, which, while they might be
lost by the Suer, prove expensive
embarrassing, and time-wasting for
the suee. The young McCulloughs
had to give a year of their lives
to defending themselves from the
charge of libel that ordinarily would
be regarded as passing judgment
upon a current and local problem.
There is a device that helps along
the terrorization of patriotic citi-
zehs. 1t is The examination before
trial The theory of this process
is that to save time and money
the lawyers and contestants get
together and remove from the need
for trial those issues upon which
there can be common agreement.
So the formalitiSe of the trial
are eliminated. The judge and jury
are not present. The hearing is
held in one of the lawyers offices
The rules of evidence are not ad-
hered to. A careful record of the
proceedings is kept and what is
agreed upon goes into the trial oy
stipulation.
If honestly and conscientiously
conducted, such a hearing before
trial is a very valuable time ano
money saver. But if a foxy lawyer
gets someone in his clutches, he
asks all sorts of questions, which
may not be related to the subject
For instance, he might in pursuit
of malice, try to adduce psychol-
ogical reactions in childhood to eX-
plain why a certain political pos
ition was taken Also he cohlc
ask questions which would never
be tolerated in a court of law OF
among gentlemen even in a bar
room.
u has been my experience as q
ne spaperman that when a lawyer
objects 20 reporters being present
at such a hearing, something un-
saVory is in the offing Often
when a man sues and gets into one
of these preliminary hearings, he

"at the present time the Soviet

Architects Agree Arlington Could Have Saved on Building

many places. The School Board
never made any bones about the
fact it tried to put up better
schools. One firm of architects
explained the difference in this
way:
when Prince Georges and
other counties order plans drawn
for school they tell us they need
a building for a given number of
pupils. They say they want the
building to contain certain facili-
ties. The Board of Education
states that it has approximately
so much money for the job.
Then, it is our responsibility
as architects to draft plans which
meet the order.
Almost the reverse is true in
Arlington. The School Board
there says:
1--WE need a building for a
certain number of pupils. Here
are our requirements. How much
will be job cost uS?'"
The architects don't say Airing
ton is wrong in setting its sights
high. Some clearly think the
course wise.
Difficulty in Planning.
One architect said his drafts
men had economical so much in
the plans for other communities
that they had difficulty drawing
plans for Arlington to the School
Boards more elaborate require
ments.
Mrs. Edmund D. Campbell.
chairman of the Arlington Board.
contends the public gave a man
date in 1913 for the policy her
group has pursued in building
schools.
She does not see why voters
refused on November 7 to author
ize another SIS million in school
construction bonds.
1--WE set out deliberately to build
good Scholastic best we could"
said Mrs. Campbell. And that is
just what we've done.

the defense of Western Europe.)
The note to the French said:
Contrary to the letter and
spirit of the Franco-Soviet treaty
France has entered the So
called Western Union and the
North Atlantic grouping of pow
ers, directed against the U. S. S. r.
and other peace-loving states. At
the present time the aggressive
nature of both these groupings is
emphasized by the fact of the in
clusion of Western Germany
both in the Western Union and
in the North Atlantic groupings
headed by the United States of
America.

ton of the government of France,

Stone has reinforced concrete
frame and brick exterior. McKin-
ley has steel frame with brick

window wall cabinets.
Mckinley has end wall cabinets
as well. At both schools, there are
coat alcoves, storage closets fol
teachers. classroom sink units, ac-
coustical ceilings, fluorescent
| lighting and green glass chalk
boards.
The contract price of the Prince
Georges school included complete
kitchen equipment. The price OF
the Arlington school did not in
clude kitchen equipment.
| Arlington contends some of its
higher building costs are due to
the inclusion of many fixtures and
equipment in the original contract,
which other counties pay with
other money. It also blames part
of its building troubles on more
rugged topography on the Vir-
ginia side of the Potomac.
In the next inStallment of this
series, attention will be focused
on how the board expects to save
maintenance money and some
"frills" cited by critics.

MOSCOW. Sunday, Dec. IT,
Soviet Russia has accused France
and Britain Of creating a "se-
rious threat. to peace" and of vio-
lating their treaties of alliance
with the U. S. S. r. by their poll
cies on West German rearma-
ment
In notes to the two govern

charged that France and Britain
were entering into "a direct al
lance" with West German Chan
cellor Konrad Adenauer's govern
ment.
The Soviet Union cannot rec
oncile itself" to the revival of
German militarism, the Russians
warned.
French diplomatic sources
tonight fatty denied the Rus
sian charges of treaty violation.
They declared there is no ques-
ton of any attempted agrees
sion by Western Germany.
Neither, they added, is there
any basis for Soviet charges
that the Atlantic pact is di-
rected against Russia. They
said if Western Europe sis con-
strained to rearm, it is only to
assure its own security in view
of the fact that the Soviet Union
and it's allies are already pow
erfully armed" The French
informants said that nowhere
in Western Germany mas re-
