lethal weapon that could be casually and in
extensively purchased at drug and novelty stores.
These little pistols-which are manufactured in
Japan and understandably labeled Little Atom"
were offered for sale as "toys" at local stores
until the police discovered one in the possession
of some one they were OBTAINING on another
matter. Once the department had put the 1h-
inch-long gun through its PAGES and discovered
that it was capable of firing toothpick through
36-page paper, they invoked the Deadly Weapon
Statute, thus outlawing its sale by any dealers
not licensed to sell firearms
Actually, the Nl-fame Of this deadly "toy"
had preceded it here. In New York, 4-year -od

on by a storekeeper who sold the guns. The idea

who find life perilous enough at best. The police
are to be commended for taking such brisk and
decisive action in the matter.

recently one Of our highest military
commanders addressed one of our ma
tional military schools on the subject
of being patient with the democratic
process. The subject was timely. And
yet it must not be allowed to supplant
the direct method of the soldier, for the
soldier is trained for special task where
direct action only will succeed.
Today we have before us another
world figure who as soldier was sub
lime but who his friends and well wish
ers fear is going to mar that splendid
record by dabbling in a field for which
he is totally unprepared; who miscon-
strues the adulation showered upon him

to lead the populous out of the wilder

who is obviously the tool and toy Of a
crafty group of professional politicians.

Stephen T. Early

The American people have lost one of their
great civilian soldiers in the death of Stephen r
Early. For it can safely be said that Steve Early
was great soldier in his patriotic service to his
country through nearly two troubled decades of
war and peace.
Those in the newspaper profession had par
ticular reason to love and to respect Steve Early
He had been one of us before he accepted the call
to serve the late President Franklin Roosevelt in
1888 and he was one with us during all the years
that followed. Steve Early's allegiance was more
than personal one to Mr.. Roosevelt, or later to
Mr.. Truman, and it was more than a political
allegiance to the Democratic Party. 1t was an
allegiance that never wavered In its faithfulness
and integrity toward the American people and to
what he deeply believed was their just cause
and welfare.
His unselfsh devotion to principle and his
responsiveness to his own high ideals undoubt-
edly shortened his life. His death is deep shock
to his many personaA friends as well as loss
to his country.

He writes: MANY have questioned

judgment in failing to make thorough
investigation of the charges" The fact
is that Mccarthy said all the proof of
all his charges was to be found in the
81 files. Senator Lodge, who was on the
Tydings committee, read 8 Of the 81

In effect apologizing for and retracting the spy
story. The apology explained that it was not
the policy of the Army to "tar and feather people
without proof" and that public release of the
spy story was faux pas which would not
happen again.
General Willoughby explained that his
report to the Pentagon had not been designed
for public release, and it was released without
his prior knowledge. The reaction in Washington
at the time was that while the substance of the
spy story might very well be true, the Army was
able to furnish no proof of the truth-at least
the sort 'of proof that customariy is required in
public document that singles out individuals
for denunciation as members of Soviet spy ring.

Surely there cannot be too much wrong with
football at West Point, or with the character
of the boys who play the game.
This at least, is the reaction one gets in
reading the words of Coach Earl H. Blaik, as he
talked to reporters in New York. Colonel Blaik
is retired Army man and a West Pointer him
SELF According to the Associated Press, he has
turned down $50 0000-a-year job to stay on as
coach.
Why is he doing this? Most coaches would
have left for the greener pasture. Why is Colonel
Blaik staying on?
One can only speculate, but there is in his
own words and in his own situation hint of
the reason. The coach handled himself we'll

honorably, with the chance to re-establish them

Colonel Blaik did not say so but there was
for him in this as deep a personal tragedy as
can come to a man. His own son, Bob Blaik,
star quarterback, is among the cadets await
ing dismissal.
The son is taking # like man. His con-
science he says, is clear. But 1--WE made mis-
take and we're going to pay for it." In this
spirit and it is an admirable spirit, the boy is

he feels that he has job to do there, that in

thing can be retrieved from the ruins of the

The Senate and Home Rule

Hearings on the new home rule bill produced
nothing new. Senator Neely, who opposed the
hearings on the ground that everything that
could be said has already been said, probably
feels he was justified in staying away AS a deci-
sion to report the bill to the Senate had already
been reached in advance of the hearings, the
testimony of those who appeared took the form
of repeating what previously had been said as to
the principle of home rule The testimony that
would have been most helpful, down-to earth
examination of some of the bills new provisions
and their effect on the administration of local
government, would have been helpful. For the
most part, that sort of testimony was omitted.
so the bill now takes its place on the Senate
calendar and it is only reasonable to believe that
it will be approved. 1t has distinguished spon-
sorship on both sides of the Senate aisle. It's
cardinal purpose is to relieve Congress of the
direct responsibility of local legislation, burden
that is more complained about than actually
suffered.
It is desirable, however, that the senate's
action on the bill follow thorough discussion
in floor debate and that some of it's doubtfully
wise provisions receive the benefit of an analysis
that has not yet been evident in committee con-
sideration. Only two Senators sat in on the
hearings last week There are 96 Senators who
should make themselves thoroughly familiar with
the bills provisions, as we'll as its implications in
government of the Federal City.
Certainly this is not the type of bill that
should be approved by the absence of objection.
Time must be set aside for debate.
