Judqe and Administrator, Too

Judge Thomas Dewey Quinn is especially
well qualified to serve as chief judge of the
Municipal Court AS retiring Chief Judge George
Barse has pointed out this is post requiring
not only judicial qualities but considerable ad-
ministrative ability. Judge Barse found that he
had to spend much of his time attending to,
administrative affairs of the court-a task made
very difficult by the inadequacy of the courts
clerical staff.
Judge Quinn, in transferring from the Mu-
nicipal Court of Appeals to the chief iudgeShip
of the lower court will bring to the latter court
years of administrative experience at the Depart
ment of Justice. He was administrative assistant
to the Attorney General at the time of his ap-
pointment to the bench. Before that he had
been an assistant director of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation.

"A Popular Decision

The Commissioners decision against sale Of
the old E. v. Brown School in Chevy Chase will
meet with general public approval While the
building has been abandoned for school purposes,
it is still serving the community effectively as
combined library and recreation center. What
ever the District may be losing in tax revenues by
retaining the property is offset by the value of
the services being rendered to Chevy Chase resi-
dents by the popular center.
That the center is popular is attested by
figures showing the steadily increasing usage of
the Browns varied facilities for youths and
adults. When the Chevy Chase branch of the
Public Library was transferred from side street
to the Connecticut avenue location in 1948 the
annual book circulation was about $4,000. Last
fiscal year more than 125,000 books were circu-
lated and this fiscal year the total is expected to
exceed $4,000. Library officials attribute most
of this increase to the more favorable location
and facilities at the Brown School. At the same
time, use of the recreational equipment has risen
rapidly More than 1900 children and adults
use the playrooms, shops, canteen, lounge and
outdoor basketball court every month. To have
deprived these residents of such attractive recrea
tional and literary facilities without providing
equal or better center and library accommoda-
tions In this thickly p ulated area would have
been a serious mistake

of Berlin, and the parent has now
written to Secretary Root, asking to be
furnished with purely attested evidence
that his son has been appointed an

order that the courts may authorize the

Of untold thousands Of passengers on
pleasure or business bent is decidedly
secondary consideration. Her ultimate
role Is to help defend the free way of
life In the titanic struggle now raging
between goddess forces Of slavery and
the gathering might of freedom. Above
all commercial interests. important as
they are. this mighty new weapon has
been constructed with that defense
value always standing guard on her
bridge; yet this has been done without
sacrificing comfort and even luxury.
But. to put that first thing first, it
was necessary to subordinate to defense
requirements many of the dimensions
and appointments of this floating city,
into which is wrought hundreds of tons
of aluminium. Many things were de-
termined not by the usual demands for
ornateness and convenience, but by the
one question: What will contribute
most to the efficiency of this ship in
national crisis? So must it be with
the United States of America.
These are days Of peril more ominous
and. 1t may be, more imminent than
most Of the citizens Of this last best
hope of humanity" realize. The tragedy
Of today Is that America insists on
going on with its way of life almost as
usual, when we ought to be clearing
the decks for action. The foe we face
is utterly ruthless and devoid of honor,
bent on wrecking our ship of state. Our
republic IS its one hated target. Would
that there were a thousand Paul Re-
veres in this hour to ride down the
lanes Of our pleasant prosperity and to
rudely disturb our fools paradise!
Back in his day Grover Cleveland said:
"The ship Of democracy. which has
weathered all storms, may sink through

Spires of the Spirit
The limited States

This is the story Of spires and q ship.
1t is the tale of steeples of faith and
OF the largest and fastest commercial
and naval vessel ever to be built in
America.
Amid the din Of q welcome greater
than any craft had ever received be-
fore, on recent June day a new
levlathan of the deep moved majestically
to her waiting dock in New York Har-
Dor. The overwhelming occasion was
not simply the arrival of ship. It was
vision come true-a dream whose gleam
had been followed for two-score years.
For the mighty S. S. United States
q national acquisition whose significance
makes every real American hail her with
surging pride. Is but the heightened
shadow of man-William Francis
Gibbs, perhaps the foremost naval archi-
tect In the worldwide first plotted her
dimensions and potentialities with his
brain and his heart, and by dauntless
faith breathed her into being. Who,
from her towering decks, privileged to
see and feel that tumultuous welcome
could ever forget the thrilling sounds
and sights of the triumphant harbor
procession?
+ Il
But is not this exciting scene about
as far from steeples as one could get?
Giant twin smokestacks are not spires:
they are emblems, rather, of mans in
ventlve genius. The S. S. United States
is hailed by the Nations greatest port
as the acme Of mechanical achieve
ment. the epitome of scientific and in
ventive skill. But, unless back of the
frantic boast of winning the speed crown
OF the seven seas, the mammoth stacks
are sanctif1ed by mounting spires of
spiritual verities America may be near
ing the abyss which meant the fall of
Rome, whose most spectacular material
achievements were greeted with wild
acclaim just before darkness fell on the
national life. Vastly more vital than
America ruling the waves is that she
shall rule herself.
The s. s. United States is q symbol
OF the United States Of America in more
ways than one. The great ship, climax
Of the proud clipper tradition. is q
miracle Of cooperation, brought to pass
by thousands who wrought, with brain
and Drawn. Her creation is an inspir-
ing testimony to the faith that removes
mountains of frowning obstacles. A
veritable army of workers joined their
separate contributions to produce this
mosaic Of mechanical wonder.
And the S. S. United States is also
an inspiring witness tc the necessity
for discrimination in values. She stands
not only for cooperation, but for eval-
uation. Her blueprints mirror. her
paramount purpose. The transportation

Judge Frank H. Myers Of the Municipal Court
to succeed Judge Quinn on the Municipal Court
OF Appeals, previously had received the indorse-
ment of the nominations committee of the Dis
trict Bar Association. The cooperative under
standing which now exists between the associa-
ton and the Attorney General with regard to
local judicial appointments is a welcome change
from the situation which has at times prevailed
in the past. Then the Attorney General frequently
rebuffed efforts of the bar association to assist
in picking qualified judges for the local courts.
The new cooperative policy is helpful to the
Department of Justice and the President in
filling court vacancies and to the courts in OBJ
tanning jurists fitted in all respects for their

Prophet Duvid Lawrence

Perhaps many readers of your paper
were not in Washington back in 1886,
when the presidential campaign was be-
tween F. D. Roosevelt and ALT Landon.
But some Of us were, and just before
the election David Lawrence predicted
the election of Landon, who carried
only two States. Then near the close of
the Truman-Dewey campaign in 1948
Lawrence again became a prophet, pre-
dieting the election of Dewey. He has
several times proudly claimed credit for
the intervening elections when he
guesses correctly.
The thing that clouds Lawrences
glasses is that the wish is pre-eminently
the father of the thought. I am going
to chase the animal out of the hollow
log and put it in full view: The very
same crowd that saddled the G. o. P.
with Willkie, then Dewey shouting that
they alone could win. are today Spouting
from certain magazines and newspapers
of large circulation. particularly in the
East, that only Ike can win.
If the Democrats in Washington are
jubilant as Taft increases to 100 dele
gates his lead over Ike, let them momen-
tarily enjoy it. Let it be remembered
that Dewey lost Ohio and Illinois, and
thereby lost the 1948 election. But this
year Taft reasserted his claim as
potential vote-getter by receiving more
ballots in Illinois than the combined
total cast for all rival Republican and
Democratic presidential aspirants in the
primary. It was the first time since
1882 that the Republican primary vote
in Chicago district has exceeded the
Democratic. Taft will inundate the
Democratic hopeful in Ohio. And he
will pile up comfortable leads in the en-
tire great Midwest. the enigma of last
election.
Yes. Eisenhower is "quasi-conserva-
tive" as Lawrence asserts, but he is also
quasi-informed on farm problems, ultra
quasi-erratic on Government expense
cuts and quasi-a-winner as compared
with Taft.

Exposure Of a Dirty Scandal

The report on crime in the District of
Columbia, which occupies many columns of
highly interesting reading in todays Star, is a
blStering indictment of previous administration
and supervision of the Metropolitan Police
Department
Some of the committees findings may not
be susceptible of proof in court of law. Some
OF the statements concerning police connivance
with criminals are conclusions, rather than real
evidence In The Stars opinion, most of the
conclusions are justified and are strengthened
by the teStimony-and the failure to testify
of sworn witnesses. The Investigation has ex-
posed scandalous condition in the recent past,
fenectlng gross incompetence or crookedneSs or
both on the part of responsible officialdom
The committee report should be the real
beginning not the end, of the police investiga-
ton. Responsibility to make it so rests with
the Commssioners-as a board, rather than any
individual Superintendent Of Police Murray and
the United States attorney and his staff They
should neglect no effort to uncover additional
material in the form of evidence relating to
activities of all police officials named in the
report. Some action of this nature of course
Is already under way. Two officers have been
indicted. Two more have been suspended An
other is awaiting trial board action But if the
serious circumstantial and other evidence against
certain officers named in the report is to be
believed, then there are others who have not
been mentioned and who automatically are
brought under suspicion. For most citizens will
share the opinion of the committee that it is
hardly possible for few police officers to have
connived with criminals to the extent indicated
by the report without exposing their own activ-
tiles to other members of the force
The committee has accompanied its report
with recommendations, some of which require
legislation. These recommendations will be
examined later, in these columns, in some detail.
For the most part they seem sensible and may
prove to be of help. But there is no substitute,
in the form of regulations laws, for the selec-
ton of competent and honest men to run a
police department. If these are lacking, then
nothing will help. A review of the record and
fitness of every officer of the Police Department
is in order, and such review should be initiated
now.
