Crisis at Ponmuniom

The Korean truce talks, which have stumbled
on from impasse to impasse ever since last July,
have now reached a stage where they may well
collapse entirely As President Truman has
made clear, the only real issue remaining to be
solved is the one bearing upon the repatriation
OF prisoners. But it is an issue, as he has said,
on which the United Nations cannot compromise
without placing itself in the position OF buying
an armistice "by turning over human beings for
slaughter or slavery"
What the U. N. negotiators have offered at
Panmunjom is a package" deal under which
ca the Communists would be allowed to build
and maintain airf1elds in their Korean territory
during the truce; (2) they would abandon their
inSistence that Russia be named neutral" to
the international commission to be set up to
police the armistice, and 60 the United Nations
would return 10000 prisoners to them in ex-
change for $4,000 Allied prisoners. AS the Pres
ident has revealed the Reds have indicated that
they are willing to accept point 2 to balance the
concession of point /. AS for point 3, however,
they have declared that they will never agree
to 1t.
On this ISSUE the Communists demand the
return Of $4,000 prisoners, but all except 10000
OF these, in statements to u N interviewers, have
vowed that they will physically resist being sent
back to Red territory and control. In the cir
cumStanceS in the, Presidents words to send
them back by force would be repugnant to
fundamental moral and humanitarian principles
and would result in misery and bloodshed to
the eternal dishonor of the United States and
OF the United Nations" Yet the Communists.
even though they have been offered formula
under which these individuals would be repatri-
ated after the truce If they changed their views
In rescreening process, adamanty refuse in
a typically callous fashion-to accept this fair,
inst and humane Y,rnredf,re
BY the same token, just as adamantly, the
U, N has unqualifedly declared that it will not
yield on the point, and the Panmunjom talks
thus have reached their most critical impasse to
date. In and of itself, the 'impasse does not
necessarily mean a resumption of full-scale
hostilities, but that danger is more real today
than at any time since last July Certainly,
unless the Communists-including particularly
the men Of the Kremlin-back away from their
present demand, renewal of all-out hghting
In Korea will become increasingly likely the
longer the stalemate continues. The situation
which could lead to an enlarged war along the
lines proposed by General MacArthur-is a
decidedly grim one, but the United Nations as
a matter of honor and simple humanity, must
hold fast to the position it has taken, come
what may.

The Kefouver Momentum

Tennessees ubiquitous Senator Kefauver
while achieving at least psychological victory
in Florida, has won more concrete one in Ohio
AS in so many Of his other primary victories,
the Senator's triumph was scored over what had
been considered the established party organiza-
ton. On the ballots, the Tennessean's opponent
was former Senator Bulkley, entered originally in
the presidential race as an acknowledged stand
in for President Truman and now running as
"favorite son." In this role, MIR. Bulkley is ex-
pected to throw whatever convention strength
he finally commands to a candidate more ac-
ceptable than is Senator Kefauver to the party's
national leadership Despite the presence of sew
eral nominally strong Democratic figures, includ-
ing Secretary Of Commerce Sawyer on the Bulk
ley slate, however, Senator Kefauver captured q
of the States 81 convention delegates. The fact
that he had entered only 81 of the 54 contests,
including only four of the eight tests for dele
gates at large, served to keep his victory from
being even more conclusive.
Actually the closeness of the Florida vote
indicates that the Tennessean has an excellent
chance to pick up q sizable bloc Of that States
"a votes when the delegates are chosen on May
~. And on that same date, 20 currently un-
pledged Alabama delegates-some of whom
already have indicated preference for Senator
Kefauver-will meet to decide on their course
in Chicago.
To the Democratic leadership, the continued
impressiveness of Senator Kefauver's public ap-
peal represents an increasingly serious problem.
While several of his preference primary victories
do not represent binding commitments upon the
delegates, he seems certain today to enter the
convention with greater following than any
other Democratic aspirant. With President Tru-
man firmly out of the running and Governor
Stevenson of Illinois in the same category, at
least as of now, no one else has yet appeared to
rally all the anti-Kefauver sentiment. Unless
these groups can unite on one individual, the
Tennessean may carry too much momentum to
the convention to be stopped.

Judge McGronery's Views

Federal Judge McGranery, picked by the
President as his next Attorney General, had
rather bad time of it before the Senate Judiciary
Committee.
To say that the judge was on the spot Is
putting 1t mildly. The committee pressed him
hard for answers to questions concerning his
view of the Presidents inherent powers. To have
denied the existence of such powers would have
been to repudiate the steel-seizure action of his
patron, Mr.. Truman. And if he had said that the
powers exist the Senate might have voted against
confirming his nomination.
Caught in this dilemma, Judge McGranery
gave what some committee members said were
evasive answers. Actually, they were not as
evasive as they seemed. For it Is difficult for
any man to give clear-cut, yes or no, answers to
questions, some Of them hypothetical in nature,
which touch upon a field of constitutional law
that is largely unsettled and even unexplored.
In the end, however Judge McGranery was
pinned down to answers which give some indica-
tion as to where he stands. He declined to answer
questions as to the legality Of the steel seizure on
the defensible ground that this issue is before the
Supreme Court. But he did imply that he would
have advised the President against the steel
seizure, at least until he had invoked the Taft
Hartley Act and that statute had failed Of its
purpose. A President, he said, should exhaust the
statutory remedies available to him before re-
sorting to inherent powers. And In saying that
no man is above the law, he presumably indi-
Gated belief that the courts have power to re-
view presidential acts.
Judge McGranery did not 60 to the extent,
however of denying the existence Of inherent
presidential powers. The President, he said, does
have inherent powers He can do "any and all
things to preserve the life, liberty and property"
of the citizens Of the country. And Il hope we
will always have in the White House a man
strong enough that he will not falter in unfore-
seen emergencies"
With these answers, the Judge seems to have
gone all around the circle. And the sum Of his
position evidently is that while inherent powers
exist, they should be used sparingly, and then
only in cases of genuine necessity.
This leaves the basic question-What can
President do in the name Of emergency?-sur
rounded with almost as much uncertainty as be-
FORE This is why it is desirable that the Supreme
Court, when it rules in the steel case define as
clearly and as comprehensively as possible the
true nature and extent of these inherent powers,
IT, in the courts judgment, there are such powers.

ief-Breeding Scheme

In the interest of good administration of the
public schools, the Board Of Education should kill
the proposal for watchdog committee to keep
an eye on the Superintendent of Schools. The
idea has mischief breeding and morale under
mining potentialitieS that are unworthy of
school board, are unfair to Dr. Corning and are
contrary to accepted principles of running an
efficient school system.
The plan approved by the boards rule COM
mittee by split vote and over the protest of
DR.. Corning, would convert the entire member
ship OF the board into sort of private-eye group
assigned to keep the SuperintendentS Office under
constant surveillance. Whether Intentional or
not, the effect Of this behind vigilante
operation would be demoralizing on the school
administration. Implicit in the proposal is sug-
gestion that DR.. Corning needs special scrutiny
to prevent some unspeciied abuses from occur
ring.
All Of this is nonsense. II the board has reason
to suspect the superintendent of wrongdoing, it
has adequate authority to fire him by majority
vote. The proposed committee would consist of
the chairmen of all standing committees, plus
the president Of the board. Because each men,
ber Of the board holds Craftsmanship of some
committee, the effect of the plan would be to
reconStitute the entire board as an extraordinary
committee charged with checking on Dr. Corning
and hearing all complaints against him-pre-
Sumably in executive session. The mere creation
of such group would be regarded as scheme
to get" DR.. Corning It would be an invitation
to any and all, including the crackpots, to take
up the time of the full board with matters which
ought to be heard by one of the smaller standing
committees. If matters of sufficient Importance
should arise, rejecting on the superintendent,
the board already has the power to sit as COM
mittee Of the whole to consider them.
In short, effective machinery already exists
to supervise the work of the superintendent as
may be necessary. To set up special super
snooper group would be tantamount to launch
ing against Dr. Corning war Of nerves, CAM
paign Of harassment that would be gross dis
service to the cause of public education in the
District.

Practical Pencil Approach

When human being, who Is q COM
plicated, delicate piece Of living ma
chinery, cracks up or fails to come up
to normal performance, we lock him up,
under inhuman conditions guaranteed
to generate in him vicious desire to get
even with society, instead of reforming.
We make no efforts. or only feeble one,
to f1nd the cause Of his divergence Then
we turn him loose and wonder why he
continues to perform a. before, when
his chances for normal behavior have
been further reduced by his prison record
and his further lack of motivation, ANY
one who wants to put him through COM
pletely logical tests and provide the
elements for right living is accused of
coddling him! We treat our delinquents
with as much logic as insane people
were treated not many years ago.
1t is matter Of practical common
sense, not sentimentality, that our penal
institutions Of all kinds should be geared
to operate as rehabilitation centers, and
should be called by that name, and the
humans who have to be kept there should
be seen for what they are-victims of the
stupidity Of our living setup, not crimi-
mails. Just this idea alone would inspire
many with the indispensable motivation
to cooperate in helping themselves, and
especially to throw of the strange hold
OF hopelessness. They should be given
every spiritual, mental and physical test
necessary. given curative treatment to
get them on their feet and then sent
out under supervision and guidance to
insure their having chance to stay on
their feet.
Violence and the enormous waste and
suffering that go with it are deplorable,
but it must be recognized that it is
often the only way the general public
and their officials are ever Jared out of
their lethargy and forced to do some
thing to bring about badly needed re-
forms.
