Everything But Asinine

In proof of the fact that all good things must
end, or, If one prefers, that every road has its
turning, the unhappy case of Senator Fulbright's
RFC committee serves as Exhibit A.
When President Truman jumped on one of
the committees interim reports with both feet
and called it asinine, the committee members
Democratic and Republican-cloSed ranks and
stood firmly and loyalty together in the face
of this affront Senators may express their
opinions of each other, but they do not take
kindly to that sort of remark from an ex-
Senator Throughout the long weeks of the
committees subsequent hearings all was sweet
ness and light among its members. It looked
as though Mr. Truman had asked for the works
and that he was going to get it,
But then came the time for filing final re-
ports. The minority members, Senators Bricker
and Capehart, saw or thought they saw chance
to strike a good partisan blow. The President,
they said, had transferred Pendergast politics
to the national level. And they announced that
morality in Government had declined to the
lowest ebb in the Nations history"
That did it,. Chairman Fulbright said the
Republican report was a political diatribe and
that it was ScurrilouS. Senator Benton said that
1t was filed with false innuendoes and that it
was designed to undermine confidence in our
Government. Majority Leader Mcfarland lam
basted the report as political poppycock, and
demanded to know whether its authors had so
quickly forgotten Warren G. Harding and the
Ohio gang. And so on and so on. About the
only unfriendly adjective that was not used to
describe the effort of Messrs. Bricker and Cape
hart was Jasmine"
This, in its way, is too bad. The Fulbright
committee made serious effort to dig into the
various misunderstanding from the plainly
crooked to the slightly off-color-by which a
variety of questionable operators tried to use
the big Government lending agency to their
own advantage. The whole story has not been
developed. It would have been q very healthy

not be counted on to support any party
policy. After all his years in Congress,
no one can find bill bearing his-name.
You can best describe Senator Morse's
voting record by what was said Of him
by Vice President Barkley: "Morse is a
Democrat, but does not know it," His
voting record, like that of Borah, is
almost always with a small minority Of
his own party or with small group of
Republicans voting with the Democrats.
Take his recent outburst: He agrees
with the Truman administration in
handing Gen. Macarthur his dismissal
and how 1t was done. This puts him in
opposition to his own party as well as
the whole Nation at large, including the
real Democrats. II his voting record
means anything at all, we must take
1t that he alone is right and his party
wrong on almost all of the great ma
tional questions Of the day. No one can
be that good.
1 am pleased to say that believe Mr..
Morse, personally, is fine man, and,
outside Of politics, Is well thought Of
by all who know him.

Nee corthy Tops List

It has done my heart good to read in
a current magazine that over 100 out Of
1913 Senate correspondents have given
Mccarthy the dubious honor of being
the worst Senator. One of these cor
respondents said, "A shrewd and
dangerous exploiter of uninformed pref
udice." Another said, His record Is
reason enough to consider him the most
ignorant and vicious member of the
Senate"
Another mans character and reputa-
ton means nothing to this malicious
demagogue. He has no conception of
the words decency or principle. Our
country has thrived on the theory that
every man Is innocent until proven
guilty. His unholy thoughts and actions
are to the contrary. He damns them if
they as much as disagree with his per-
verted thoughts. He tries to drag them
down to his own level. Then comes the
unpleasant publicity of clearing them
selves.
Mccarthy is the greatest single asset
the Soviet has in this country today.

John d. Kavanagh.
The sensational, smearing, hit-and-
run, never-follow-th through tactics Of
Senator Mccarthy are maintained and
supported because conditions on the
opposing side are correspondingly cor
rupt, dishonest and revolving. Dishonesty
and corruption of the present admins
tration are so widespread and prevalent
and have been given so much publicity
that it would be simply waste of
time and space to try to recount some
Of these practices.
The trite saying that two wrongs
never make right" is not even thought
of by the citizen who Is reading and
hearing every day of what Is going on
in our administration. He is looking for
a strong antibody and the bitterest,
strongest, most vile stuff he can find,
honest or dishonest, is none too harsh
for him.

Institution With q Heart

It is nice to find that an institution"
of cold stone and brick really does
have a heart.
Last Saturday my little boy Melvin,
aged 3, took bad fall from a four-foot
wall, hitting his head on the sidewalk.
Unable to contact my own doctor i'm
mediately, we rushed him to Children'S
Hospital.
The building seemed very old, tired
looking and dreary, as we walked
through dimly-lit corridors. Many other
injured children were being brought in
by parents. and the emergency room
was functioning at full speed, with
harassed- looking doctors and nurses
rushing from room to room, taking
care Of little patients.
expected that Melvin would receive
excellent treatment, but that 1t would
be impersonal and brusque. It was
indeed heart-warming to see the gentle
ness and kindness with which Melvin
and the other children were handled
by the doctors and nurses. DR.. Shea and
DR.. Doyle treated Melvin so gently and
automatically that they quickly won
his confidence, and had him completely
at ease-at the same time being very
reaSSuring to couple OF worried
parents It was good to see doctors and
nurses as busy as these treat little
children, white and colored, with genu-
inc affection and kindness.
The canaries and other birds singing
and cavorting in their cages right in
the emergency treatment room had him
laughing and diverted even while he
was being treated, and helped him for
get the pain of an anti-tetanus injection.
So would like to express my graft
tude to the doctors, the nurses and
others at Children's Hospital for
treating their little patients-and par
ents-with sympathy and understand
ing-and not as "just another case."

more hysterical speech delivered by
prominent citizen than the one Mr..
Truman gave to the American Legion.
Senator Mccarthy has done real serv-
ice to America In causing some poor

utilizes most Of his time to call names
and generally bring disrespect upon the
high Office he occupies by absurd state

know of no American who fears to
express himself on controversial matters
except some members of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff and other persons whose
jobs can be terminated by word from
H. S. T. This was most evident in the
testimonies of these persons during the
Macarthur investigation.
One must be stupid, or naive, if he
thinks for a moment that any Of the
recent investigations Of persons in the
State Department for loyalty would have
taken place had it not been for Senator
McCarthy's charges.
Mr.. Truman might be more popular
if he joined in house-cleaning the State
Department instead Of sweeping the
dirt under the carpet.

foolishness Of King Lear, in his speech

Courts-MurtiuI

A letter signed IN. Mullins" recently
printed under the head, Military Law"
was downright disgusting. OF course, it
was obvious that the writer was moved
by blind faith that the medieval char
acter and manner in which military
Justice" has been dispensed just
couldn't happen in the armed forces Of
the good old U. S. A.
This stupid approach to a question
directly affecting the life, liberty and
pursuit Of happiness Of millions Of
our citizens, coupled with the barefaced
admission that the writer didn't know
what he was talking about, convinced
me that you would welcome more intel
ligent comment by some one who has
had experience in these matters.
am greatly encouraged that Con-
gress, members of the bar and, to some
extent, the public are giving serious at
tention to an enlightened approach to-
ward correcting our system of military
law. It is amazing that injuStices per-
petrated by the courtS-martial system
in the past were not corrected before
our time.
AS an officer during World War IL,
served as member Of court-martial.
I was shocked to learn that high
ranking officer actually would attempt
to influence the kind Of punishment
meted out. I am proud to say that I
resisted this influence. Later, after being
relieved as q member Of the court
served under orders as chief defense
counsel. was selected for this although
I had never practiced law, nor was I
ever a memper of the bar. The assistant
defense counsel assigned to me had no
legal training and only slight knowl-
edge OF court-martial procedure.
A pauper who has no money to hire
a lawyer for his defense can get a
better break than this in civil court.
Our Servicemen and women are as
much entitled to equal justice under
law as any private citizen. We expend
great sums Of money and manpower to
aid the morale of our fighting men. Is
it reasonable to deny to them privileges
they had as citizens and free men
and women Of an enlightened society
to condone q system which places
them at the mercy of court where
the judge is also the jury, and the
prosecutor the only member with legal
qualifications?
add my voice to those who cry
out for equal justice. Let's have an
end to this old "drumhead justice"
1t is to be hoped that the new Uni
form Code of Military Justice, which
became law earlier this year, will be
carefully administered to bring about
a measure of relief in correcting the
evils of a system inherited from an
other age.

timony in front of the committee, what
about the civil rights of the people who
could be called the victims of their ac-
tivitieS?
They seem to realize that what peo-
pie see and hear on this matter will
hurt them. Also that more people will
really know and understand what is
really going on. Most people today are
in too great a hurry to sit down and
thoroughly read such testimony; but If
they see or hear it on radio or television
it may get enough people aroused to do
something about those who prey upon
the general public.
The hearings are public. Let them be

gasoline mixed with a soap-like sub
stance, so that the flame will cling till
the target has been consumed.
And the target: Troops because the

Suffocation.
How can we use such thing against
a living mass? Gas warfare was out

the forefront OF all efforts to outlaw
such horrors as this flame thrower.

to reflect the attitude Of its people. I
cannot believe that Americans condone
barbarism. I for one register my pro-
