Good Police Work

The type of police work that solved the
savage murder of Ralph T. Blake wouldn't do
for the radio and TV crime thrillers But in
everyday life, where the police have to deal
with facts instead of fiction, it was very good
work indeed.
The 17-year-old killer, William R. White,
wasn't at all clever. When caught, he was wear
ing his victims wrist watch and shoes, and he
broke down and confessed quickly when he
learned that the police knew the articles belonged
to Blake. The fact remains, however, that White
was brought under suspicion and picked up as
result of thorough and intelligent police work,
and the responsible officers deserve fullest COM
mendation for solving this brutal crime in
period of 10 hours. 1t will be good thing If
this experience helps boost the morale of
department that has been under cloud because
of the recent disclosures affecting few of its
members.
Meanwhile there ought to be no hesitation
about holding White for trial on charge of
murder. This is no case for the juvenile author
tiles. They are not competent to deal with the
viciousness that White has displayed. He is
murderer, not wayward boy, and his case should
be handled accordingly.
Evening star., 1952-08-10
No Trace of Justice

If the whole story has been told, the attempt
to deport Carl Latva, FinniSh-born New England
textile worker is a cruel and senSelesS business.
The deportation order was issued under the
McCarran Internal Security Act of 1850. which
calls for the ousting from this country of aliens
who belonged to the Communist or Fascist
parties.
Latva was 10 years old when brought to this
country by his grandparents in 1918. In 1884,
during strike he joined the Communist Party.
According to his story, he joined because some
body told him the Communists would help the
strikers. His only Communist activity, he says,
was to pay 50-cent initiation fee, and 10 cents
q month in dues for four months. He married an
American girl their two sons served in the Navy
during the Second World War, and his reputation
in the New Hampshire town in which he lives
has been that of good citizen.
If these are the true facts, no purpose
relevant to the security of the United States can
be served by breaking up the Latva family and
sending the father back to Finland. Latva
should not have waited until 1949 to seek
American citizenship But the McCarran Act
was not intended to deal with those who merely
delay in applying for citizenship. 1t is aimed at
those who can reasonably be suspected of being
disloyal to the United States and Latva, on the
known evidence, does not fit into that category.
The Attorney General has indicated that he
will not invoke the McCarran Act against Latva
If the facts of the case have been correctly stated
That would inject an element of justice into
situation from which justice has been notably
lacking

King himself completing the process of
putting on the ring as he withdrew his
hand. Later the archbishop had similar
difficulty . in placing the crown on
the Kings head. In fact, the choir
started God Save the King while the
archbishop . was still striving to place
the crown on the rulers head Hav-
ing placed the King (on) his new throne.
the archbishop knelt and paid homage,
the aged prelate scarcely being able to
rise until the King assisted him. :. The
archbishop, who seemed to be in faint.
had to practically be carried to the altar.
The incident created considerable ex-
citement, and several prelates rushed
forward to help the primate." AS it hap
pened, the archbishop really was i'll. He
died December %. 1902. aged 81. His
name was Frederick Temple.

Stevenson 'Overroted'

In the coming election, firmly believe
that Gov. Stevenson Is being grossly
overrated. Whether this seemingly uni
verSal concept has been generated
through intent on the part Of Demo-
cratic ballyhoo artists or through mass
hypnosis radiating from his acceptance
speech is not clear It is clear, however,
that the Democratic Party. the party Of
the people," has belied that title once
again by nominating a man who has
consistently disavowed any ambition or
ability for the presidency, and whose
name has never appeared on primary
ballot.
Undoubtedly Stevenson is a capable
State administrator and he has the addi-
tional gift of being an excellent orator.
but golden voice" is not prime
requisite for a President, and the White
House admittedly entails far greater re-
sponsibilities than the State House of
Illinois. His public disclaimer of any
ability or ambition for the job would
