Saturated Is Riqht

The Washington Heart Association like other
organizations depending on public support, is
feeling the adverse effect of too many fund
drives in the Washington area. The associations
greatest immediate problem, according to It's
executive secretary Miss Beatrice HodgSon, is
how to obtain adequate financing in "a COM
munity already saturated" with campaigns for
money. The Heart Association is not alone in
this dilemma. Other independent health groups,
the Community Chest and various agencies which
compete for public favor and contributions in
the District and its suburbs are facing the
same problem The trouble does not stem from
any lack of generosity on the part of the people
solicited or any failure on their part to under
stand the urgency of the appeals 1t arises from
growing impatience and often feeling OF
resentment over the multiplicity of the appeals
a condition at variance with the original give
once-for-a all theory of the united-fund idea.
When the Community Chest was founded in
1928, the single-approach plan covered most Of
the agencies relying on public fund drives for
all or part of their budgets. The Red Cross
and the tuberculosis Association were the only
major outsiders" But over the years an in
creasingly large number of additional outsiders
have come into the picture A majority of them
are in the health-research field. The Heart AS
sociation is typical of this group. There are
now drives for control of cancer polio and other
crippling diseases in addition to drives for boys
clubs veterans organizations and other groups.
Last year there were about two dozen campaigns,
some of them overlapping.
The Heart Association is almost alone among
the independent agencies in advocating q con-
solidation of campaigns in the health field. It
made such a proposal last year, when a move
was started to effect some sort Of merger. A
citizens committee found that other health
organizations were not inclined to go along with
the single package health drive plan. The COM
mttee finally decided to postpone further efforts
toward consolidation until this year or later.
The Heart Association secretarys recommenda-
tion for united health fund may revive interest
in the whole movement to reduce the number
of campaigns. That will be the hope, at least,
of District and Federal officials, who repeatedly
have protested the almost continuous succession
Of appeals; of Chest officials, who find their own
efforts impered by public indignation over
multiple solicitation, and of the contributing
public generally.

Political Liability

1t has been long time since any Secretary
of State went before Senate committee under
handicaps comparable to those which Dean
Acheson carries into the investigation of the
Macarthur dismissal.
Mr. AcheSon on the whole, has done good
Job as Secretary of State under conditions that
would have taxed the capacities of any man. He
has served at personal financial sacrifice. And
If the job ever held any attractions in terms of
personal prestige, they must long since have
faded away. There must have been many times
when Mr.. Acheson the Secretary of State, would
have much preferred to be Mr.. Acheson the
successful lawyer in private practice.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Achesons official and
certainly his political stock is about as low as it
can possibly get. The President apparently still
stands unwaveringly behind him. But there is
no one else Democrat or Republican, who mani
tests the slightest intention of going to bat for
Dean Acheson. Such things as the I-won't- turn
my-back- on -Alger-Hiss statement and the vast
public disillusionment growing out of the de-
terioration in international relations have done
their work. Mr.. Acheson, politically speaking,
is a stranger in a strange land. Democratic
Senator Douglas of Illinois, fair-minded man,
summed it up pretty well when he said that
Mr.. Acheson was casualty of the war and had
become political liability.
One immediate result is that Mr. Acheson is
in for hard time of 1t before the Senate COM
mttee The Republicans have been honing their
knives for him from the beginning Some of
the Democratic members can be counted on to
try to minimize any damage to the party which
may grow out of the Interrogation Of Mr.. Acheson
but they are not expected to make much OF
fight in behalf of the Secretary as an individual
He will have to do the best he can-which may
be pretty good-for himself
This is situation which has direct bear
ing on Mr.. Achesons life expectancy as Secretary
of State The yearning of many influential
Democrats to be rid of him is open and notorious
BY all of the traditional tests, his official days
should be numbered. STILL it is by no means
certain that Mr. AcheSon is on the way out.
He has said that he enlisted for the duration
and that he intends to stay in office as long
as the President wants him. Mr.. Truman has
said repeatedly that Mr.. AcheSon is doing good
job and that he has no intention of getting rid
of him.
Those who profess to be able to read political
signs put little stock in these aff1rmationS. They
think that politics in the end will prevail, but
there is just chance that they may be wrong.
dent, he has sturdy and in many ways ad-
mirabe sense of loyalty to those who are loyal
to him. And he must also be wondering how
much political gain there really would be in
handing Mr.. Acheson his hat. Some Democrats
would be happier and easier in their minds But
there is no sound reason to believe that Mr..
AcheSon'S scalp would appease the Republicans.
They think they can taste victory in 50, with
foreign policy an issue. There is small chance,
therefore, that the sacrifice of Mr.. Acheeon would

War Criminals
Elizabeth F. Haswell.

AS reporter who covered the Lands
berg case in both Germany and the
United States, feel compelled to clear
up at least the misstatementS of fact
in the column of Constantine Brown,
May %.
The most glaring error is Browns
reference to "the fact that the Bonn
government is the successor of the
three-power occupation of Western
Germany"
The truth is that the three-powe oc-
cupation still is in full swing. And
the three powers have specifically re-
served unto themselves authority over
all convicted war criminals.
Second, he states that the convicted
criminals "have the support of the Bonn
government ITSELF" This is not true.
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer has ex-
pressed approval of the action taken
by the United States State Department
in confirming the verdicts Of the seven
war criminals.
Third, and most serious, is the infer
ence that there is anything new about
the points raised by Defense Attorney
Warren Magee in the two civil suits he
has filed since the Supreme Court re-
fused to intervene in the case.
Every single point raised in the civil
suit was raised before in the petition to
set aside the verdict in the criminal
case. The Supreme Court ruled, in ef-
feet, that the defense had not raised any
valid issues.
The next error would be minor point
except that Brown twisted the facts for
obvious propaganda purposes. He refers
to the prompt action" of Defense At
torney Warren Magee in filing a civil
suit which resulted in the latest stay OF
execution and talks about Magee work
ing against time" Magee is not that
dumb. Being smart lawyer, he did
not act promptly. He waited until the
last minute. He made sure Of another
stay by filing petition too late for the
judge to read it before the men were
scheduled to be executed.
Sincerely Shocked.
In his zeal to have us avoid the rise
OF a new "nationalistic legend" in Ger
many, Constantine Brown, as his column
of May % indicates, apparently would
have us accept the old one.
He contends in essence, that execu-
ton Of the seven Nazi murderers would

So Far No Good.
From ADA

The wistful liberal, who a year. ago analysed the
election returns as mot as bad as they might have been"
will find small support for that position in the record so
far of the Congress which was elected then.
The first session of the Sind Congress does notmatch
the mediocrity of the Republican dominated 8Oth, but
history will report the try as a near miss.
Played against a %backdrop of international tension,
of conflict between the competing ideologies of demo-
cracy and totalitarianism, the Congressional performance
was a shabby failure to rise to the historic occasion.
Two basic conclusions are inescapable:
1. This was a Congress ofthe big interests.
2. The 1862 election race opened when the Congress
convened and this fact shattered what was left of biparti-
san responsibility and replaced it with political posturing.
In some ways this Congress made positive gains.
Large sums, contained within the largest peacetime ap-
preparation total, were voted for the military. A heavy
was approved.
that was salvaged resulted from what amounted to bitter
of the nine and a half months of struggle the UnitedStates
still had essentially the same international policy but sig
nificant gains had been registered by the new isolationists.
CIVIL RIGHTS
This was the Congress that completely failed to act
on civil rights legislations. Hearings were not even held
on bills to outlaw l~ynching, abolish the poll tax, or es-
tablish a Fair Employment Practices Commission. These
proposals, endorsed officially by both the Republican and
Democratic parties, remained where the Southerners
wanted them. Hearings were conducted by the Senate
Rules Committee on several proposals to do away with the
completely inadequate Wherry Cloture Rule. A report on
this is expected early in the next session.
