Reviving a Water Sport

The arrival of 225 stalwart schoolboy oars
men for the 18th National Schoolboy Rowing
Championships may also herald the revival of
rowing as major competitive sport on the
Potomac River This is the first time that the
national contest has been held at the National
Capital, and with 20 schools participating, it is
the largest such regatta to be held to date.
Although well endowed with facilities for
water sports, Washington never has been "crew
town." It is true that the Potomac and Old
Dominion Boat Clubs have long been active, that
colleges and even schools have had crews here
in the past and that sculling was part Of the
old-time Washington scene. But the interest Of
the boat clubs and the new rowing boom that
has been so successful for Washington-Lee and
George Washington High Schools does not re-
fleet wide popularity of rowing. Yet crew
regatta can be exciting for the spectator as
well as the participants. It is costly sport but
both the nearby Virginia high schools have, with
the help Of the boat clubs, shown that that OBJ
stacle can be overcome. Perhaps the champion
ships being decided here will presage growing
and beneficial interest in crew for the Potomac
area.

Very Crave

Prime Minister Churchill Is a man who
usually measures his words with great care, and
for that reason his remarks on Korea are douby
SOLDERING Speaking to the British House of Com
mons he has bluntly declared that the situation
over there is Every grave" He has declared
further, that this opinion Is the opinion not of
himself alone but of "the military authorities of
the United States who furnish nine-tenths Of
the troops engaged by the enemy"
Mr.. Churchills statement-which seems
franker and blunter than any yet addressed to
the American people by President Truman-is
based on certain facts and suspicious that have
been public knowledge for many weeks past The
chief of the suspicious is that there has never
been will to peace on the part of the Commu-
nists and that they have engaged in 10 months of
truce negotiations only to win time to recover
from the terrible losses inflicted them in their
April-May offensives of last year. And the chief
of the facts is this: That they have succeeded,
during those 10 months, in building up from
badly mauled force of 100000 men to fully
refreshed and well-equipped force of almost
a million men. Simultaneously-with the help
of the Kremlin, of course-they have added
greatly to their air strength.
The gravity of the situation stems from the
very real possibility-if not the probability
that the Communists may at any moment force
COuplCtC UTCdkOOWu OI Cll6 Truce CdlkS at ran
munjom and thereupon unleash their immensely
built-up power in an all-out offensive against
our American and allied United Nations armies.
AS Mr.. Churchill has said, the generals in COM
mand in Korea are confident that they and their
troops are capable Of holding and smashing such
an attack when and if it comes. If that capa-
bility exiStS-and there is reason to believe that
it does-then the enemy may hesitate to strike
especially in view of what happened to him in
April and May a year ago. But such hesitation
cannot be counted upon. On the contrary, as of
the moment, some signs strongly suggest that the
Reds-who regard life as cheap-are getting
ready to cut loose.
At any rate, within the past few days. the
Communists at Panmunjom have made a special
point of repeating that their armies absolutely
shall not sit idle while their captured fellow
combatants are being wantonly murdered" by
the U. N. This threat, mixed as it is with the
threadbare lie about prisoners, may be nothing
but propaganda designed to bluff and frighten
Prudence demands, however that we reckon with
it as an oninous foreshadowing of an offensive
that could be "very grave" indeed if timed with
some drastic Red move in Germany.

History Lesson

All Arlington TeS1Qe0C mas Dce0 having
field day tossing Communist charges
all around. refer to letters by one B. M.
Miller, one Of which was carried by your
paper recently. As one referred to my
husband, called Mr.. Miller about his
careless charges and found that he was
quite disturbed about remark MIR. Will
liams had made to the effect that the
Virginia constitution ought to be revised.
MIR. Miller stated in his letter that 'in
my opinion only one group in this
country wants the Constitution revised" Z"
and significantly signed himself.
Chairman, Arlington Anti Communist
League"
When informed him that the Vir-
ginia constitution provides for it's own
revision by amendment or constitutional
convention, and that in fact it has been
revised at least dozen times, the last
in 1902 by convention, he remarked that
that was before his time, and he wouldn't
know anything about it. recommended
a little history reading to him.
I will clarity another misconception
of his. The law barring Federal en-
ployes in Arlington from local Office is
not in the Virginia constitution but in
the Virginia code Cor general lawl, and
the two are quite separate.
In his letter of May 20 he quoted from
Washington's Farewell Address, in which
the people were warned against politi-
cal parties. Now wonder why Mr.. Mil
Ter would quote from that particular
part? Frankly like the idea of strong
two-party system in this country, on
State and national levels. Wonder why
he didn't quote the following from the
address: "The basis Of our political sys-
tenn Is the right of the people to make
and to alter their constitutions of gov
ernment"; and again, "This Govern

Too Eosy on the Bruss?


The Star Of May a reports that
President Truman pardoned all the en-
bryo officers at Annapolis having un-
served penalties and punishment due
them.
The same day there was news story
OF an Air Force major who had q long
record Of crimes against both civil and
military laws. He was punished by
his fellow officers by being allowed to
accept an honorable discharge rather
than face hearing on charges"
A few days earlier The Star reported
that the generals responsible for the
compounded blunders at Koje, which
have largely nullified the q. MS Korean
war investment of over 1O0, 900 casualties
and $50 billion. were severely punished
by reprimands or by reinstatement to
their permanent rank.
The general who allowed the Com
munists to copy his perverted diary and
thereby jeopardize everything that de-
cent nations have invested in world
peace is still at large.
Compare such so-called punishment
with the stiff sentences given the en-
listed man who ate q piece Of Gen.
Ridgway's candy last Christmas: the
seaman who protested Navy food and
discipline. and the infantry combat
trooper who fell asleep at his post after
more than 48 hours in the front line
without relief.
Isn't it about time for Congress to re-
mind the Pentagon that they are sup
posed to be fighting the Communists,
not decent American enlisted men?

of many Of us who regard those votes
as important, the contest was purely
one between the more urgent EiSen-
hover adherents and the cautious pro-
ponents of neutrality at the convention,
according to the q priOri definition Of
the issue by the State committee. It
would not be decorouS to call those many
voters naive who may have voted for the
committee delegates in the belief that
such was the only issue; nor is it neces-
Sarily ingenious to assume that the
victory was simply one for an unin-
structed delegation, and not victory for
any other candidate than Gen. Eisen-
hover.
Those on the committee are all honor
able men, who have served the party
Loyalty and ably; and do not doubt
that they put its success next November
above any single candidate. When the
band wagon begins to roll at Chicago.
when California asks to switch its votes
from Warren, after Minnesota with
q yell has thrown it's votes for Ike, and
when the banners are parading and the
wagons laundering, then expect the
Districts six uninstructed delegates to
be hopping aboard and yelling as loudly
as the rest. And no crow for them to eat.
There is one thing in Mr.. McGran-
nery's letter which slightly pains me.
That is his jubilant anticipation Of "the
pie counter, when the Taft captains dish
out the patronage next January" Let
me say that there are many millions
who are sick of Pendergast-Tammany-
Huey Long-Jake Avery pie. and the way
it has been stopped around for these
past 20 years. We are sick Of it. and we
want no more Of it, even if it's labeled
Republican If Gen. Eisenhower is elect
ed, it is our faith that there will be no
more pie of that sort.
If by any chance, Of course. he is
voted down, there won't be any pie for
Republicans, either. Well all be just

'Mouthpieces for the Mob

There is plenty of evidence in the reports of
the Senate Crime Investigating Committee to
supportthe contention of the American Bar Ass0-
cations Commission on Organized Crime that
the bar needs to do some house cleaning. The
Senate committee received testimony indicating
that certain big-city lawyers have been deeply
involved with criminal gangs in what looked like
conspiraces to violate the law. These were In
Movements, it was stated that went far beyond
the proper relationships between criminals and
their counsel.
There was the case, for example, Of the
LAWYER for two notorious Chicago hoodlums who
ran afoul of the Federal income tax laws. 1t was
brought out that "tens of thousands" Of dollars
were collected to pay the income taxes OF these
gangsters and that the money mysteriously ap-
peared on the desk of the lawyer. He said he
could not explain where the money came from.
In other cases tax lawyers and accountants ap-
parently connived in preparing fraudulent tax
returns for gamblers. FBI Director Hoover also
has denounced lawyer criminals" whose deal
ings with their clients" were more In the nature
of partnership in crime than OF legal adviser In
court proceedings. The Kefauver group reported
that "there are number of lawyers In dlnerent
parts of the country whose relations to organized
criminal gangs and individual mobsters pass the
line Of reasonable representation" Such lawyers
the committee said, become true "mouthpieces
for the mob" and sometimes Integral parts OF
the criminal conspiracies Of their clients"
The ABA commission declared 1t is well
known" that certain lawyers frequently facili-
tate the activities of criminal gangs" The COM
mission recommended that "active measures" be
taken to rid the bar of this fringe group" that
is rejecting discredit on members OF the bar
generally It was emphasized that the questioned
activities have no relation to the proper services
of the legal profession in defense OF criminal
defendants.
Unfortunately the commissions report Is
rather vague as to what "active measures" could
be taken to clean up the situation. 1t said the
responsibility is one that rests almost entirely on
local bar associations It conceded that the draft
ing of canons of conduct that would eliminate
unethical attorneys from practice is task @of
great difaculty." The report urged, however. that
the ABA assume leadership in campaign to
stimulate interest in the problem on the part OF
State and municipal bar groups. More Specif-
cally the local bodies would be advised to survey
allegedly improper practices and to strengthen
existing grievance and other procedures for deal
ing with lawyers unworthy to be Officers Of the
court" The problem is serious enough to justify
more attention by bar associations than has been
given to it in the past The good name Of the
legal profession is at STAKE in this matter.
