Goafs4e OF The 7ou4ts
BY JOHN RoEBURT

yard away from where Leigh
ton sprawled, was an olive-green
filing box.
1t was locked with the key i'm
the lock- Jigger opened it, and
run1maged in its depths. In the
front file, indexed by date, were
old radio scripts.
A second drawer, the last, held
folios that were alphabetically
indexed. Jigger opened a folio for
fleeting look and distracted
what seemed to be card. It was
photograph; an 8x10 glossy por-
trait of girl. A brunette, deep
eyed and intense, with a striking
coiffure worked into a coronet.
He stared at it, perversely resist
ing its suggestion.
But his nerves were hungry.
and his fingers were trembling
with excitement as he explored
farther into the file. There was
memoranda, more memoranda,
and more pictures. Jigger sorted
the pile, separating the pictures
from the onionskin memoranda.
There were more than a dozen
pictures, and all the same; all
were 8x10 glossy portraits of the
brunette with the coronet!
The means coming from Leigh
ton now had the character of
voice. In the next seconds the
means would become speech, the
ineligible cries Of a man calling
police. Jigger pocketed a glossy
print, and hurriedly closed the
file cabinet.
In the elevator going down, the
glossy print inside his jacket
throbbed against him like another
heart.

He pointed to a wall. "A man
who hangs originals by Picasso
and Chagall" He crossed the
room and read the signatures on
a pair of canvases, ALSO Stuart
Davis, and Chirico. All prize
paintings, and not an Arents
among them"
Jigger came back. "And these
priced treasures in your town
hotel suite. I wonder what you
hang in that Britton mansion out
in Great Neck. Surely not Eric
Arents be the laughing
stock!"
There was a small, fraught
silence, then Jigger said with cal
culated, goading deliberateness,
Leighton, you're either the
worlds champion sucker, OF
you're a liar
There was first an effort at
rigid self-control; then Leighton
exploded with the roar of man
whose most sacred inner life had
been defiled. His arms began to
fail. The first blow tapped Jig
gers shoulder, the second missed
utterly, and Leighton lost his bal
ance with the force of the swing.
Leighton was suddenly a man
berserk. He ran about wildly,
seeking a weapon. His hand closed
on brass candelabrum. Jigger
moved defensively, but too slow
ly. The candelabrum struck him
high on one side of the face
The effect was a rush of water
against the eardsum.
Leighton was yelling at the top
of his voice when Jigger moved in
to retaliate. The first blow stop
ped Leighton's outcry; the second
closed his eyes. He sat down a.
most rhythmically, like an Egyp-
tian dancer settling into reposc,
then he fell over.
Jigger hesitated, drawn tn thn
escape, and also drawn deeper in
to the suite, into a search of
Leighton's effects.
Search it must be, Jigger finally
decided; search, even though he
had no more warrant than house
burglar
Except for a neat row of suits
crisp stacks of shirts bearing the
Leighton monogram, other ap.
parel, empty suitcases, and mis-.
cellanous articles of standard use
the search of the bedroom was
unrewarding.
Jigger re-entered the con1bina-
tion library-sitting- g-room-office
The suite was plainly an office
only, and a convenience, an emer.
gency sanctuary against late
nights in town.
Time was running out. Means
were breaking through the seal oil
Leighton's lips: coming faster as
the unconscious man was coming
to. Jigger's eyes swept the room
in a summary study. In a corner

Texas girl who nose her business.
The nose is a built-in Radar, !"
she said in a tall accent, redolent
of Palestine, Texas. Our sense
of smell is 10000 times more SEN
sitive than our sense of taste. But
few people today know how inn

change our lives"

of smells while working at a cos

Il like to know what / ann do
ing, she said. Il asked about od-
ors, and the people who ought to

So she studied odors for years

give her all the answers she want

enter the odor field.
But I found there wasn't any
odor field, she said. So I became

Our Constitution was designed
in the belief that mankind's as
pirations can best be achieved
through individual initiative. The
Founding Fathers recognized that
the common characteristic of all
forms of tyranny is the centraliz-
alton Of vast powerin government.
The history of the past $50 years
is sufficient proof that our fore
fathers made no mistake when
they needed the principle that,
power corrupts, and absolute
power corrupts absolutely The
global dreamers who represent us
at the United Nations would have
Americans march under the slo-
gan, Give me security or give
me death" 1t is individual liber-
tv, however. which must remain
paramount to all other consider
ations if freedom in America is
to survive.
It should now be perfectly clear
why any State Department and
its international do-gooders at the
United Nations are pushing this
Covenant on Human Rights to-
ward ratification It's an ingenious
mechanism designed to stifle all
criticism of the so-called Fair
Deal. No doubt Dean Acheson's
Socialist friends in Great Britain
are tickled to death. In the past
five years they have become in
creasingly sensitive about news
paper disclosures relative to the
failures of socialism and state
planning The British Royal Com
mission, established by Parliament
in 1916, is only the first step of
the British Labor Government to
exercise a restraining influence
over some segments of the press.
Many British socialists are now
demanding more vigorous action.
The father of modern British
socialism, the late Professor Har-
old Laski, foresaw the need of
controlling the press "temporar-
ily" in order that the nationaliz-
alton program might not be wreck
ed in its infancy.
Article IA of the proposed Gov
enant on Human Rights would
also permit criticism of the Ad-
ministration's foregn policy to be
suppressed. The Covenant provid-
es that the press may be subjected
to penalties in order to protect
national security" and safety -.
President Truman and Secret
ary Aeheson have claimed on hum
dreds Of occasions that their mil
itary and foreign policies are es-
sential to the maintenance of

national security. They have crit
icized some American newspapers,
as is their right, for misrepresent-
ing Administration policy. The
Covenant on Human Rights is a
convenient weapon for protecting
what they deem to be the national
security against what they con-
slider to be irresponsible criticism.
The American people have been
advised Mr.. President, by State
Department spokesmen and by
Attorney General McGrath that
the Covenant does not weaken the
protection of freedom secured by
the Bill of Rights. In my judge
ment, no high public official has
ever given the American people a
more misleading or dangerous
statement To repeat, the First
Amendment provides that Con-
gress shall pass no law abridging
freedom of the press. The Coven-
ant on the other hand, provides
that CONGRESS is JUSTIFIED
IN ABRIDGING FREEDOM OF
THE PRESS IN A HOST OF
VAGUELY DESCRIBED GIRO
INSTANCES. The words descr-
ibing the circumstances under
which liberty of the press may
be curbed have nct received any
settled judicial Interpretation.
The argument has been that If
the proposed Covenant detracted
from the freedoms secured by the
Bill of Rights it would be invalid
However, at least three potent
arguments can be advanced fol-
che proposition that a treaty may
be valid even though it allows leg
islative destruction of freedom OF
the press and other freedoms ex-
pressed in the Bill of Rights and
the Constitutions of the several
States. First, Article VI of the
Constitution places the Constitut-
ion and treaties ON AN EQUAL
PLANE OF SUPREMACY. In al
most every other country of the
world treaties do not become part
of domestic law except to the ex-
tent that they are implemented
by legislation. Other nations there
fore, do not assume the same
risks we do in ratifying a treaty.
They have the opportunity for a
second look. We do not. State
Department officials have display
ed a callous disregard of this fact
in their treaty negotiations. 1t is
undisputed that a treaty ratified
by the Senate overrides inconsist-
ent provisions of federal law
State Constitutions, State statutes
and State judicial decisions.

The Madison County All Style
Revue will be presented in front

Tuesday morning. at 1000 am,

More than 100 girls who have
completed projects in clothing will
model dresses, blouses, and aprons
in the county wide revue. From
this revue, participants will be
chosen for modelling at the Ohio
State Fair. Mrs. Ray Linville,
Worthington, Instructor at Ohio
State University, will select out
standing garments.
Madison County Democrat. (London, Ohio) 19??-1958, 1951-08-21

Secondly, the Supreme Court in
dicated in Missouri v Holland,
252 U. S. 416, that a treaty is val
i'd even though its subject matter,
if enacted as domestic legislation,
would be contrary to the provis-
ions of the Tenth Amendment. In
that case Mr.. Justice Holmes
pointed out that while Article VI
requires the laws of the United
States to be made pursuant TO the
Constitution, treaties may be made
under the authority of the IN
tied States He suggested that
under the authority of the Unit
ed States" might mean nothing
more than the formal acts requ-
ired to make a treaty.
Finally, it may be argued that
the treaty-making power can
never be legally inconsistent with
the freedoms protected by the
Bill of Rights. Freedom of speech
and of the press, for example. are
protected by prohibitions on the
power of Congress and of the
States. The Supreme Court might
decide that action BY the Presid-
ent and the Senate which author
lied destruction of the freedom of
the press is not action by theCon-
gress within the meaning of the
First Amendment. Or by any Sta
te within the meaning of the 14th
Amendment II is of course
impossible to obtain from the Sup
fcne Court III advisory opinion rs

Art Jigger said at once, sur

Two paintings done by an

Il remember them, yes ?"
They cost you $2500 apiece
Quite price for the work of a
man who can't paint"
Leighton's eyes kindled. Did
you crash in here to tell me
thatr'
Jigger said leveIly, Il also came
to tell you about murder and a
murderer. The victim: A Susan
Hunter, alias Sally Woods, alias
Anne Brown. The victim was once
the mistress of the man who
painted those pictures you bought
for five or six times their worth
And the murderer: An unknown
whom 1 believe the artist is shiel-
ding, for a price"
Leighton was a consummate
actor. or wholly innocent of any
involvement There was no reac-
ton, nothing; just the look of a
busy man being bothered.
Leighton said coldly, And just
why should I be concerned about
all thse ?"
The inference is as big as life,
Leighton. How can a man with
your gift for language miss it."
Jigger advanced, closed some of
the gap between them Unaccount-
ably, he was seething with anger,
blood-hot It was the pomp about
Leighton; the scorn, and the sure
ness.
Jigger said, Il repeat it: I said
Eric Arents knows the murderer,

what he knows. In a word. black

Leighton said Unexpectedly,
