When They Did as They Pleased

HOWEVER, let's have no apollo
- gies for going anywhere in the
Bible, back or front. The voice of
God speaks to us through it, and we
can learn something from all parts
of it.
For the next three months the
lessons are to be about the rise of
the Kingdom, from just after Josh
ua's time to the reign Of Solomon.
This week we have before us the
first and last parts of a book
(Judges) that covers many genera
tiOns. This book contains some in
spring stories, and some so harsh
or revolving that they never are
studied in Sunday school.
The inspired prophet who first
put these stories together and
commented on them makes a
significant postscript at the
end, as if to explain some of the
more shocking tales: Those
were the days when there was
no king, and every man did that
which was right in his own eyes.
There you have one of the keys
for understanding this strange Book
of Judges. 1t is the story of anarchy,
of men doing as they pleased. Do
laws annoy you? Do you sometimes
feel that this would be a better
world if we could do away with gov
eminent entirely and let every man
do as he likes? The Book of Judges
shows what sort of world that would
be and you wouldn't like it.

The Cycle of Freedom

to illustrate them. The stories ir
Judges also make a kind of pattern
waVy line that climbs up and dips
down, over and over again. The
curve is freedom, the low dip is
slavery.
The little nation of Israel, or
rather the little gatheratiOn of
tribes not yet nation, that went
by that name, was struggling
for a place in the sun. Some
times they had no better than
a place in the shade, in the
shadows of national weakness,
disgrace, defeat, slavery of one
sort or another.
Other nations would "oppress'
them in the various ways by which
one nation can Cypress another: by
armed invasion, by military occupa.
ton, by making slave laborers, by
eXacting huge sums of money, by
depriving them of trade or territory
And then after long time of this, a
hero would arise and lead the peo-
pie back to freedom.
The Moral Cycle
IF that were all, the Book of Judges
would not help US very much
But the question is: Why does ma
ton lose its freedom?
The answer given in this an
cient book has been confirmed
in history many time since. A
nation is free when it deserves
to be free; it loses its freedom
when it no longer deserves it.
The careful reader can see in the
Book of Judges another line rising
and falling, thee curving line of the
nations faith and moral life. Wher
they went after other gods, that
is, when they sank to the sins anc
crimes which went with the worship
of these "other gods" they lost
their morals and at the same time
lost their morale and their cha-ac.

character is one that easily loses
its freedom.
1t is the way mighty Rome fell

the way our own nation can fall

For Stabilized MANAGEMENT

There is one group of high-level depart
mental officials that will not be affected by the
forthcoming change in Federal administration
The men who hold the recently created posts of
assistant secretary for administration in the
Commerce, Justice, Labor, Treasury and Interior
Departments are designated as career employees. :"
Their job will be, in the words of the Hoover
Commission report, to maintain continuity OF
topside management" in their departments dur
ing the change-over from Democratic to
Republican regime.
The Hoover Commission found fault with
the traditional system under which top officials
of the executive establishment were suddenly
replaced by new appointees when new ad-
ministration comes into power. During such
transition periods the Federal departments and
agencies usually suffer from lack of experienced
direction and supervision. To remedy this situa-
ton, Hoover task force recommended the
creation in each department and agency of
career post equivalent to that of a business
manager in private industry. The business
manager would be selected under the merit
system and would not, therefore, be involved
in political "housecleanings."
Congress, with bipartisan support, has au-
thorized the appointment of such officials in only

The Ricco Telegram

The case of the "Ricca telegram" is one of
those things which, on its face. tends to dis
credit the Department of Justice.
Paul (the Waiter) Ricca is Chicago
hoodlum and former pal of AL Capone. He
was sentenced to 10 years in prison for extortion,
and then paroled. The Government tried to
send him back to jail for violation of parole and
lost its case in the lower court Then, for
unexplained reasons, some one in the Department
of Justice sent telegram to the United States
Attorney in Chicago instructing him not to ap-
peal the lower courts decision.
When Attorney General McGranery learned
OF this he Cancelled the instruction and directed
the FBI to investigate the circumstances under
which the telegram was sent. This was the right
thing for Mr.. McGranery to do for in a case of
this kind the ultimate decision should be made by
the courts, not by some official, important or
unimportant, in the Department of Justice For
the sake of the reputation of the department.
however, all the facts surrounding the sending of
the telegram should be made public when the
FB1 investigation is completed.
