career diplomat, he has been a member Of the
Foreign Service for the past So years. during
which he has acquired a wealth of experience
in numerous important Near Eastern and Euro

y. S. Negotiotor Was Really Seeing Red
By Ernie Hill

TOKYO.-Justa as the talks broke of,
l. American armistice negotiators in
Korea were learning to play the game
according to Chinese. Communist rules.

sessions had nothing, to do with peace
or war, but were being he'd for propa-

started throwing insults and scurrilous
adjectives back at Gen. Nam II as fast
as the Peking hatemonger dished them
out. ~ &*
A sample of the heights to which viii
liflcation and epithet singing has pro-
gressed is included in Gen. Harrison's
recent jab at the Communist negotia-
tors:
From the very first." Gen. Harrison
stated, "it has been apparent that your
words and purposes in these negotiations
have been clothed with evil.
Compromising and magnifying your
lies with increasing recklessness. you
have now arrived at the point where the
bigger the lie the better 1t sounds in
your ears.
Whatever malevolent skill you once
demonstrated has now been supplanted
by stupidity and clumsiness in the fabri-
cation of falsehood.
1.-THE only conclusion that can be
drawn is that in your arrogant isolation
you have come to ignore the intelli-
gence of the thinking people of the
world.
by your own efforts you have finally
succeeded in making yourselves COM
pletely ridiculous and I think you are
well aware that lies cannot stand up in
the face of ridicule."

MIR. Wadsworth, however, is a seasoned
veteran whose long and varied career has pre-
pared him amply enough for tough spot like
Prague. He will know how to handle himself
over there; and he may even manage to persuade
the Czech Reds to acquire some manners. One
of his chief tasks will be to exert diplomatic
pressure for the release of William N. Oats,
the imprisoned Associated Press correspondent.
The puppet Communist regime may keep on
trying to justify that act of criminal injustice,
but Mr.. Wadsworth can be counted upon to
pursue the matter with persistent vigor.

Justice CIork's Error

The Chef Committees approach to the
Kansas City vote fraud case and the part played
in it by former Attorney General Tom Clark is
unusual one. It results, however, in serious
indictment Of Mr.. Clark, now a member of the
Supreme Court.
The fraud charges grew out Of the 1946
Missouri primary, in which President Truman
undertook to purge the then Representative
Slaughter. Mr.. Slaughter was beaten by Enos
Axtell, Mr.. Truman's man, in an election which
apparently reeked of fraud. Mr.. Axtell, in turn,
was beaten in the general election by his Re-
publican opponent.
When the fraud charges were brought in
Mr.. Slaughter's behalf, the matter went to the
FBI for investigation But there was no prece-
dent for the circumstances under which the FBI
was given the case. The investigation was to be
preliminary in nature, as is customary in such
cases. But in this instance the hands of the FBI
were effectively tied by memorandum prepared
by T. Lamar Caudle and approved by Attorney
General Clark-a memorandum which restricted
the FBI to questioning six named individuals.
This investigation was farce and before
1t could be renewed the suspect ballots, which
had been impounded, were stolen.
The Chelf Committee, which has been in
vestigating the Department of Justice, turned for
support in this instance to former Attorney Cen
eral Biddle, Mr.. Clarks predecessor. He was
asked series of questions which did not refer
by name to the Kansas City case or to Mr.. Clark,
but which conformed to the facts of that situa-
ton. With respect to memorandum limiting
the scope of an FBI investigation, Mr.. Bddle
Said II would not of course in any way limit
the investigation . That never occurred so far
as I can remember and I certainly would not
have approved it. I don't think it would be ap-
propriate or proper for me to limit the scope of
the investigation because we wouldn't get what
we were trying to get"
It did occur, however, during Mr.. Clark's
regime and they did not get what they presum-
ably were trying to get. Instead, situation
which had all the earmarks of shameful
scandal, and in which the President was indi
rectly involved, was covered up.
Justice Clark was responsible for this pro-
cedure and the Chelf Committee had ample
Justification for this observation His (Mr
Biddle's) testimony characterizes such procedure
as inappropriate, improper and unheard of. That
is our opinion today, and in the absence of
further explanation it stands as our final judg-
n1ent"
This is judgment that will be shared by
most people unless and until Justice Clark sees
fit to give such explanation as he may have.

Its Advice Was Good

Whether or not the Citizens Advisory
Council ventured out Of its field in lending it's
advice to the Municipal Court, the councils
recommendation for sitter sentences in criminal
cases is an eminently sound one. Police officials
recently have been outspoken in criticism of
some Of the judges for giving nominal fines
instead of jail sentences to notorious law viola
tors, especially bootleggers AS Police Inspector
Clarence Lutz pointed out last week. booteggers
do not mind $50 fine They can recoup such
loss IN one days operation. But they dread the
thought OF Jail sentence even short one. It
is dscouraging to the Police Department to make
arrests and then to have to make them all over
again when the racketeers are turned loose and
resume their activities.
committee Of the council conferred with
Chief Judge Barse and other judges of the
Municipal Court after the police had protested
the judicial leniency evidenced in several recent
bootleg cases. At least one member of the
council questioned the propriety of the councils
giving advice to the courts. But neither Judge
Barse nor his colleagues indicated any resent
ment over the visit. On the contrary, when the
committee asked for an opportunity to present
its views, Judge Barse welcomed the opportunity.
friendly and generally satisfactory conference
resulted, according to reliable reports.
However, since jurisdictional question has
been raised, 1t would be a good idea for the
council to discuss the matter of its advisory
scope, as future guide. Its basic purpose, of
course is to advise the District Commissioners
In all matters affecting the people of Washing
ton. Council Chairman Robert v. Fleming has
expressed the opinion that the council has a
right Ito call to the attention of any public body
any matter we think is in the public interest"
Whatever the councils scope of authority, no
harm has been done by the visit of its committee
to the Municipal Court. And If the conference
brings about sterner sentences for habitual
offenders, 1t will have been well worth while.

Storm in Prince Georoes

The charter movement in Prince Georges
County has stirred up a storm Of totally
unexpected nature. The storm is not over the
question of adopting charter but over who is to
prepare it. In the turmoil the primary issue of
bad for the county has been obscured.
The storm broke when it was disclosed that
at least two of the five candidates proposed by
the commissioners to write a charter are op-
posed to the adoption of a charter. In fact, they
are members of the executive committee of
new organization formed to fight against adop-
ton of charter-even, presumably one written
with the assistance of two of the groups execu-
tive committee. This is strange development,
to put it mildly. The Citizens Committee for
Good Government does not put it mildly. This
pioneer pro-charter organization has charged
that the commissioners slate of prospective
charter writer's is politicians slate" dedicated
to defeating the charter movement and preserv-
ing the "spoils system in Prince Georges County.
It is not surprising but very unfortunate
that many citizens of the county have been con-
fused by the fact that they now must not only
decide whether to have a charter but whether
it is to be written by the commissioners hand
picked committee or one sponsored by the Cit-
zens' Committee for Good Government. But the
fact should now be clear that If the voters want
to adopt home-rule charter that will mean
any substantial change in the present form of
government, they stand a better chance of
getting it by voting for the Citizens COMMITTEES
slate than for the commissioners candidates.

Riotinq Reds
Florence Cannon.

Was it necessary for our soldiers to kill
the IS rioting Chinese prisoners, as re-
ported in The Star of october 1? The
prisoners were securely inclosed, presum-
ably, so they could not have escaped or
endangered the guards outside the in
closure. If the rioters could not have
been subdued with tear gas, they might
have been left to exhaust themselves or
starved into submission.
AS much as we hate to admit it, the
fact that our soldiers fired on prisoners
armed only with sticks and stones, killed
IS and wounded 120 Of them might give
us q reputation for mistreating prisoners
of war. To see how it could look to
enemies and neutrals, suppose we reverse
the story.
Suppose several hundred American
soldiers, prisoners in Chinese concen-
tration camp. on Independence Day were
waving flag they made from scraps Of
paper and cloth, marching and singing
the National Anthem. An order was
shouted to them through the loud speak
er. Some Of the prisoners then threw
stones and sticks. Then two platoons Of
Chinese soldiers fred on the prisoners,
killing IS and wounding 100 Of them.
Perhaps the full facts would justify
the October / report, but the story as
we have 1t now makes us doubt 1t.

Dewey SIoqun Recalled

The heading Dewey will demand
Sparkman Removal on Jim Grow Issue"
makes me laugh. Using the vernacular:
Look who's talking!
When Dewey ran against Lehman for
Governor for the first time, his campaign
slogan was "Vote American" What was
he implying, if not Don't vote for the
Jew?" Is there any difference between
his campaign of subtle hate than the
outspoken one Of today down South?
I'm not Southerner, yet dislike sub.
terfuge in the Dewey type Of campaign.

and those behind the scenes of the Re-
publian campaign, and perhaps we'll
have a more honest administration after

No Calm Before the Storm

In our dangerous crisis we are seeing
the most disgraceful exhibition of politi-
cal mud-slinging in history.
Instead Of this flood of billingsgate,
which the Russians must be hearing with
tremendous delight, we should be con-
centrating upon formulation Of an all
American policy and program which will
be followed, whatever party wins in
November.
There is an optimum course we should
follow and 1t has nothing to do with
partisanship. Any one must be a fool.
indeed, who thinks that all Democrats
or Republicans are either good or evil.
This inter-party hatred that is smearing
the front pages is an even greater wrong
than inter-racial. or inter-creedal fric-
tions, which serve to disunite us in our
hour of peril.
We are all in the same boat on the
stormiest sea in history, and we all
haven together. or founder with the
ship-of state. Our main interests are in
common and our efforts had better be
co-ordinated. if we hope to come out of
this crucial period safely.
Awake America!

 "A war with Russia will not be an easy one to win. Many sacrifices will have to be made for the Reds have the atom bomb and their tanks and air craft are among the finest in the world today" he said.
 Having travelled throughout European Russia as Military At tache to the American Embassy in Moscow, and as an intelligence officer who made a detailed study of the military potential and situation in the Soviet, Crockett speaks with authority.
 Alaska is a prime military target for the Russians as they will attempt to destroy our ra- Gar screen and intcrceptor plan2 bases, he warned,
 Civil Defense in the Territory is vitally important. Should bombs be dropped on Juneau, Anchorage or Fairbanks with out the necessary Civil Defense preparations, it would prove disastrous, he declared.
 Crockett appealed to all civic minded perosns to get behind the Civil Defense program and stress it's importance to stamp out the feeling It can't happen here,

Homesi+e Pufents Made AvuisabGc 0n Na}ion0i Forests

Twenty-Five more hOmcsites on the Alaska National Forests have been made available for patent under the applicable pub lic-land laws through the sign mg of Public Land Orders No. 784 and 785 on January 7, 1852, according to Regional Forester B. Frank Heintzleman. The Pub lie Land Orders provide for the elimination of the tracts from the National Forest. Six of them are located in the Chugach Ma tional Forest and nineteen are located in the Tongass Forest in Southeast Alaska.
 The homesites eliminated in the Kenai Division of the Gnu zach National Forest are: MT. Kenneth J. Coursen, MT Robert s. Burchard, MT, Hilary ZoerD and MT. John W. Willis of the Cooper Landing Group, and Mir. E. l.. Graves of the Lower Trail Lake Group.
 The Regional Forester states that it is the policy of the Forest Service to eliminate homeSite tracts from the National Forests as promptly as possible after the permittecs have met the hons site requirements, in order that they may make application for patent to the Land Office aL An cholage. Homesite permits ore not authorized on National For eSts in the United States and our residents are particularly fortu- nate in that the hCmeSite law ap- plies to the National Forests of Alaska Already hundreds of homc sites have been eliminated from the Alaska National Pores ta and the permittecS have received patent and now own their tracts, Permits are in effect for hun dreds of other tracts which will soon be available for patent, MT. HeintZleman further pointed out that the Forest Service plans to make other tracts available through the development of ac- cess roads as fast as the demand arises and funds are available.
