Cuse Of John Service

I don't know who the judges are who
judged John S. Service guilty of permit
ting himself to behave in such man
ner as to create reasonable doubt as
to his loyalty to the United States, but
I do know that they should not stop
with Mr.. Service. If he is to bear this
taint others should be equally burdened,
I do not like Services deductions
from his studies in China nor his sug-
gestions as to how the situation was
to be remedied there and never have
liked them. I do not, however, think it
fair or wise to ruin one man who has
made bad mistake and allow others in
higher places than his. who are not big
enough to admit that they have been
woefully wrong. to continue to admin
lister our Far Eastern policy from the

The Business of Judqes

There has not been as yet any confirmation
OF the reports that Federal Judge Thomas F.
Murphy will decline to serve on a commission to
investigate reported scandals in the Truman
administration. If Judge Murphy should decide
against accepting the assignment, however, he
would have good reasons for the decision.
Certainly if he would not have the power to
subpoena witnesses and cite for contempt, 1t
would be impossible to conduct anything more
than superficial investigation. This alone, if
1t is a fact, would be enough to justify refusal
to accept the assignment.
The larger consideration, however, has to do
with the question whether it would be appropri-
ate in any circumstances for Federal judge to
involve himself in an affair of this kind.
Judge Murphy undoubtedly has the qualifica-
tions needed for the cleanup job, and his repu-
tation as the successful prosecutor of Alger Hiss
and as New York City's police commissioner is
such that the public would have confidence in
his findings. But there are other men, not
currently serving on the Federal bench who also
have the requisite qualifications.
The business of judges, as the Senate
Judiciary Committee asserted in 1947 is Judging
And they can only attend to that business by
sticking to the jobs to which they were appointed
Conceivably, situation could arise involving
some national issue, and affecting such a vital
national interest that the drafting of the services
of Federal judge would be warranted. But
those situations are few and far between. Gen.
orally speaking, the interests of the country will
be best served if the judges stick to judging and
leave to some one else the Job of cleaning up
petty political scandals. Unless such policy is
adhered to, the result almost certainly will be an
impairment of the prestige of the individual
judges involved, and, more Importantly, an i'm
pairment of the prestige Of the Federal judiciary
as a whole.
If it is true that this is principal reason
why Judge Murphy will decline to serve in this
instance, he has made wise decision.

One thing has emerged from the long

there comes moral apostasy there fol-

doubt the nationality of the universe,
the significance Of human experience

Outrage in Hungary

The Sleazy little tyranny that describes

had in mind nothing else but the Kremlin
which is where the orders are issued for all
the dirty work done by the satellite regimes
behind the Iron Curtain. The traitorous Red
puppets in Hungary quite obviously have merely
obeyed instructions from on high in making
their announcement.
What the announcement means, apparently,
is that there will soon be another of those
propaganda shows in which the truth will be
turned completely upside down In order to depict
the United States as an evil force bent upon
destroying the "peace-loving" Soviet Union and
all the peoples democracies." The trial" will

But these and similar considerations will
carry no weight in the Communist court of

from the Kremlin, the Hungarian Reds-unless
their Russian masters think better of the matter
will carry the outrage through to completion
This vile pattern of conduct has become so
characteristic of the monstrous tyranny behind
the Iron Curtain that decent civilized minds
have been shocked by it almost to the point

Rabbi Samuel Mohliver was an
exception.
All the Zionist leaders like
Herzl and Nordau greatly respect
ed Rabbi Mohliver and once when
he asked them for a private meet

readily. But Rabbi Mohliver set
down two conditions. First, that
they wear their hats and second,
that they speak Yiddish.
Herzl and Nordau said they
would gladly wear hats but that
their Yiddish was very meager.
"Ah, that's the reason I have
insisted on that condition. Moses,
according to the Bible, had a
speech impeachment. All he could
say was Let my people co. If he
had been a fluent speaker, we
would still be in Egypt today"
