Reading fiat is better than reading
at all sorts of angles.
The chair is responsible for many
ailments. Some health cranks believe
that one should either stand up or lie
down, never be seated, please.
This will remind the careful of the
old saying that one should never run

he can stand. never stand when he
can be seated, never be seated when he
can lie down.
Conservation of energy helps the
heart, the master muscle, and ANYTHING
that helps the heart tends to help the
whole organism. This applies to all
activities, including reading. One reads
better lying down because the body is
more at peace. There are some little
difficulties to be overcome, such as
lights, and pillows. and sleepiness, but
once these are resolved, the reading
that results is tops in every way.
Those who fear that reading. as an
art, is on the way out. should give up
their pet fears. Nothing can stop read
ing as long as there is an alphabet and
plenty Of paper. and plenty Of readers
fairly pining to absorb words and more
words. It is happy ailment, reminding

around his neck.
The Americans rejected HoWeS chilly
proposal. They were not asking for
pardon. They had done no wrong. The
King had answered petitions for justice
by sending soldiers to kill them and
destroy their towns.
Their answer to Howe's request for an
armistice was simple: Acknowledge
American independence and the col
onists would gladly lay down their arms.
On this point the meeting collapsed at
the end of three hours.
Ushering out the negotiators. Howe
said he was sorry he must proceed TO
chastise the Americans. This would
mortify him greatly because he felt for
America as for a brother and should
lament as for the loss of brother If
America should fall" With smile and
a bow. Franklin stung him: MY lord,
the Americans will exert their utmost
endeavors to save your lordship that
modification"
The Revolution went on. Five years
later the British again proposed an
armistice. This time it was at York
town, where the remnants of CORVALLIS
army surrendered to Gen. Washington
and his men, whom Howe had called
''rabble."

Letters to The Star .

sponsibilities we all have as citizens of
this country
Mr.. Behlert states that "since 1925 I
have been an intimate friend of this
fine family of truly American citizens.
AS such, Mr.. Cooperman feared getting
mixed up with the law" Under the cir
cumstances as stated by Mr.. BebIert.
why should any one fear getting mixed
up with the law? All law abiding Amer
lean citizens, native and foreign born,
know that they have nothing to fear
from the police. Foreign-born Ameri-
cans when they obtain their citizenship.
are taught enough civics to appreciate
the role OF American law enforcement
officers.
When the foreign born are granted
citizenship they assume, along with
other citizens. certain duties as we'll as
share in certain privileges. One of
these duties is to assist law enforcement
officers in bringing felons to justice This
duty is as old as the common law itself
Mr.. Behlerts letter leaves the i'm
preston that Mr.. Cooperman chose to
pay an unwarranted $100 collateral
rather than lose time from business in
any extended court case (even though
he was right)" Is that a fulfillment of
a duty to assist in bringing felons to
justice? If all American citizens pursued
this course many foreign born" would
never have had the opportunity of en-
joying the privileges and opportunities
of this great country
Let these many Americans of foreign
birth and limited schooling" be as eager
to understand police and other tech
nical terms" as they are to learn and
understand the American opportunities
OF going into business and making
money.
1t is not known. apparently, who
caused Mr.. Cooperman's death. We hope
it could not have been the same person,
possibly made free to act again as a
result Of Mr.. Cooperman's preference to
pay an "unwarranted $100 collateral"
rather than lose time from business in
an extended court case, as stated in
Mr.. Behlert's letter

Confederate FIuos
P. L. Vonde.

Because was born and reared in New
England and because members of my
family fought for the Union, hold
little sympathy for the cause that is
symbolized by the Confederate flag.
Nevertheless. I have learned to have
great admiration for the gallant men
who fought under it. many of whom
died in its defense. I respect those colors
as see them flying over the Confed-
crate cemetery in Groveton or on public
buildings in Southern States, on holi-
days that have special significance to
persons who have inherited the proud
traditions that flag represents.
Although the cheap replicas we now
see so often are not duplicating the true
flag of the Confederacy, the Confeder-
ate battle flag deserves more honor than
that which it receives from unfeeling,
thoughtless collectors of souvenirs.

Stubbornness an Old American Trait
By Edword Boykin

THOUGH the span of time is great
i and the scenes far removed, Vice
Admiral Charles T. Joy seems to have
something in common with Benjamin
Franklin Admiral Joy, of course, is
our chief negotiator in the on-again-
off-again truce talks with the Reds in
Korea. Franklin represented us at
cease-fire talks with the British during
the Revolution.
Whether the breakdown of the nego-
tiationS with the Reds means a finish
fight remains to be seen. But Franklin,
who also negotiated with an admiral,
Lord Richard Howe, was doomed to
failure in his effort to bring peaceful
order out of chaos.
Franklin was one of a committee of
three named by the Continental Con-
gress to meet with the British to discuss
an armistice on September IL, 1776. The
meeting place was the Billopp Mansion
on Staten Island. Lord Howe sent his
barge to ferry the Americans across.
When Franklin, John Adams and Ed
ward Rutledge reached shore it was
lined with Hessians armed to the teeth.
Howe, however, greeted them with
smiles and pleasantly.
Adams impression of the Hessians:
I'VE walked up to the house between
lines of grenadiers, looking as fierce as
ten furies. and making all the grimaces
and gestures which I suppose military
etiquette required, but which we neither
understood nor regarded"
Howe had a great psychological ad-
vantage and he had set the stage we'll
He and Franklin were old friends from
the latters London days. The first
armistice talks in Americas S history got
going over table that sagged with
good claret, good bread cold ham,
tongue and mutton" Howe's brother,
Gen. William Howe, had just defeated
Washington's army on Long Island. and
Washington was preparing to abandon
New York and retreat north Through
the mansions windows could be seen
the anchored British armada. It all
added up to great show of force-a..d
the morale of Americas negotiators was
low.
After they dined, Howe let it be
known that his Kings most earnest de-
sire was to make his American subjects
happy" He regretted he had not ar
rived before adoption of the Declaration
Of Independence, since he lacked au-
thority to treat with the Colonies as in
dependent states. Nor could he acknowI-

Is There No Justice?

Two questions. please. about the su-
preme Court:
How is it that one of the justices can
take apparently unlimited leave to travel
all over the world. without being i'm
peached for dereliction of duty?
All of the justices have I hope, sworn
to consider the Constitution an absolute
in our land. Every law must be meas
ured against it. Why is it, then, that a
majority of our highest tribunal, includ-
ing the Chief Justice. hold to the opin-
ion that nothing is more certain than
that there are no absolutes? Does not
this opinion disqualify them for the very
Office they hold?

7 hey Ought to Go to Jail

With Congress bent on adjourning by
October l. President Truman has made timely
plea for action on bill which would greatly
strengthen the arm of Federal law enforcement.
In letter to Chairman George of the Senate
Finance Committee the President has urged
passage at this session of legislation providing
sitter sentences for drug peddlers Such legs-
lation was urged by the Senate Crime Committee
and by Narcotics Commissioner Anslinger but
HouSe-approved measure is in danger of being
lost beneath pile of other committee business
including the tax bill.
Present laws allow judges wide discretion in
fixing penalties for convicted drug racketeers
The Harrison Narcotics Act provides "up to" five
years Imprisonment or up to" 1000 fine for
violators. In the case of smugged heroin the
maxmums set at 10 years and $1,000. Many
peddlers escape Jail under these provisions. The
legislation proposed by the Senate Crime Com
mittee would make prison sentences mandatory.
For first offense the penalty would be a mini
mum of two years in prison and maximum of
five, plus a fine of up to $4,000 For a second
offense the minimum penalty would be Ave
years in prison and up to 900 and the maxi
mum would be 10 years Imprisonment. For sub
sequent convictions the minimum prison sentence
would be 10 years and the maximum 20 years.
No violator could have his sentence suspended or
be granted probation after first offense.
The Senate investigators attributed the
growth of the drug racketS largely to ''the COM
paratively gentle treatment narcotics offenders
have been receiving at the hands Of the courts"
There would be no room for gentle treatment of
these vicious criminals under the proposed legis-
lation The Senate should take the advice Of
the Kefauver committee and pass the drug
penalty bill as promptly as did the House.
