ton for return of the territory to Italy. The
British-American decision of few days ago to
explore with the Rome government a formula
by which Italy would be granted "closer col
liberation in the administration of the Brit
ish-American zone of Trieste was counter to
these demonstrations but it is one that is not
pleasing to Belgrade.
Marshal Tito has made this clear in his
warning to the West that they could lose the
sympathy Of the Yugoslav people by further
support Of the unqualified Italian claims Yugo-
slavia, he says, is willing to negotiate with Italy
joint administration of Trieste, with protec-
ton for the Yugosav minority. No dictated
settlement in favor of Italy will be accepted;
only negotiated solution can avert disaster"
There is no easy way to dispute Tito's posi-
ton with regard to Treste-it was once part OF
the Austrian Empire, portion Of its population
today is Yugosav, and it is an important port
city for that country Likewise, there is no easy
way to discount his suggestion that open trouble
between Yugoslavia and Italy could bring about
a very serious situation for both countries and
for the Western world as q whole.
Solution by direct negotiation appears to
be the only hope. It is the duty of Western
diplomacy to exert its efforts toward getting
such negotiations under way, if possible, in an
atmosphere conducive to reasonable compro-
mise on each Side

Justice Wins Over Fear

The conviction of Willie (The Actor Sutton
in New York court on charges of bank robbery
and assault was a victory of justice over fear.
Seldom has criminal trial been conducted in
an atmosphere so surcharged with the threat
of terroriSm-a threat arising from the gang
style Staying on Brooklyn street last February
of the man who had tipped off police to Suttons
whereabouts State witnesses and the jurors
were carefully guarded. Failure of one key wit
ness to identify Sutton at the trial was attrib-
uted by the prosecution to fright Fortunately,
other witnesses made the Identification positive.
So Willie Sutton is likely to spend the rest
OF his life in prison-barring, of course, another
escape. He has proved to be adept at jail break
ing. Even without the latest conviction he faced
life sentence result of pleading guilty to
gun possession-his fourth felony conviction
under the stern Baumes law. Convicted with
him was his bank-robbing pal, Tom mad Dog)
King The sending of this pair to the peni-
Tertiary will not, however entirely disperse the
fear which has marked the Sutton case. 1t will
not disappear as long as the murder of Arnold
Shuster remains unSolved. Mr.. Shuster appar-
emily was slain as vengeful warning to other
citizens who cooperate with Acknowledgement
authorities. The effects of such warning are
not readily seen. No one can tell how much
valuable information may have been withheld
from police already as result of the Shuster
shooting. Early solution of this mystery will be

SITS. Members of the jewelry firm
communicated with Mrs. Beale's rel
atives about the pearls. Railway officials
learned of the transaction in Charlotte
and the investigation resulted in the re-
covery of the necklace and the diamonds
and pearls. The flagman turned over
the valuableS to ex-Mayor Mccall and
the officers investigating the case, with
the understanding that he would not be
prosecuted. When first interviewed the
man claimed he had found the necklace
on the street in Savannah, and later, it
is reported, he admitted having taken
it from berth in a Pullman car. A
reward of $3.50 was offered by the South
ern Railway Co. for the recovery of the
Jewels. Mrs. Beale was on her way here
from Florida when the necklace was
stolen. She came here to meet Miss
Alice Roosevelt and accompany her to
Havana. where she now is Upon her
return she will be given her necklace"

A cable message from Brussels, printed
in The Star Of April 9. 1902, said: king
Leopold was mobbed by
King Leopold socialists this afternoon
Mohhed on his arrival here from
Biarritz. The meeting
between the Socialists and the King was
quite accidental, but it was none the
less unpleasant for his majesty, whose
automobile was surrounded by excited
Socialists, who shouted, Long live the
republic! Long live universal suffrage!'
and waved red flags in the Kings face.
The Socialists had collected at the rail-
road station to bid farewell to the mem
bers of delegation of Spanish republic
can deputies, who had attended the
Socialist gathering here. . The police
had informed the Spaniards that they
must leave Brussels forthwith, and the
delegates were escorted to the station by

their secret process Of making raised

Spires Of the Spirit -
The Success of Failure

There have been many preachments
on the failure of success. Even if the
coveted objective is finally reached it
may prove but furnished bauble in the
hands Of spoiled child. Too much
may have been paid for it. The philos-
ophy that 1.-THE end justifies the means"
leads to the graveyard of integrity. The
Supreme Teacher was warning Of that
dire possibility when, appraising what
is sometimes called success. He solemnly
asked: What Is it worth if you gain
the world and lose yourself?"
The failures Of success explain much
OF the emptiness, the Illustration, the
disillusionment Of secular age whose
main ambition too often is to keep I'D
with the Joneses. to climb some pedestal
of distinction which shall lift one above
his competing fellows. No wonder

calls both success and failure twin i'm
posters. They pose for what they are
not. What is labeled success is often,
IN reality, failure. And what is recorded
as failure Is often the most glorious
success.
Men who have once failed have in
herited the earth. Kepler the astron-
omer, refused to be the prisoner Of his
date when he remarked that since God
had waited thousands of years for an
intelligent observer of His stars, he GER
tainly could wait century for a reader
Of what he reported about the heavens.
What a thrilling page that is in the life
Of Nine. Currie when, after the fall
ures of experimenting years, on that
night Of magic she saw across the dark
ness Of the unlit laboratory the first
streak Of phoSphorescent blue and knew
that it was radium!
Oliver Cromwell failed in his attempt
to leave England and settle in America.
But the King who issued the order

sition, being stigmatized as mot quail

a low level in development, and appears
contented to remain there. What seems
to have failed to function in our rich
tradition of democratic protest? Ger
tainly these are community problems
which should be the intimate concern
Of all. Yet, have not heard of one

police corruption in the dope traffic and
other disclosures of public interest has
left the Districts politicos in a state of
fearful suspense; our good gentlemen
of the cloth mutter mea cupla mea
cupla.
It seems to me that the responsibilities
OF citizenship call for organized protest
now! Your newspaper has taken the
lead in courageous manner, and in the
best traditions Of American journalism.
Now it's up to you and me to carry
forward this fight. More than the prob
lens of child care, ETC., are at stake
here. Public indifference, should it con-
tinue. and its lack of passion and regard
TOR the ideals on which the American Re-
public was founded, will eventually lead
the Nation to authoritarian government.

Why All the Secrecy?

Why the Commissioners have refused to let
the Recreation Board see the two-year -old Fowler
report on proposed sale of the Chevy Chase Com
mun1ty Center is as much of mystery as the
report itself. If any agency should have access
to this long-suppressed report it should be the
Recreation Board. The board is charged with
supervising the use of the old E. " Brown School
for recreational purposes IT, as has been indi
for commercial exploitation, the board ought to
be the first to know about it. And the public
ought to know about it, too, for it was the public
which saved the old school for library and
recreational uses.
The Commissioners, as matter of self-in-
terest should strip away the curtain of secrecy
which has been wrapped around this public docu-
ment since Budget Officer Fowler submitted it to
them. Self-intereSt Is involved because Chair
man Bates of the House District Appropriations
subcommittee has said that he has heard that
the Commissioners are protecting" certain busi-
ness interests across the street from the center
presumably from additional competition that
would result from commercial development of
the property. Any one familiar with the long
fight by the citizens to retain the school for
civic purposes knows that Mr. Bates has been
misinformed as to why the school was not sold.
1t was concerted campaign by parents, teachers
and other private citizens not business interests,
which induced the Commissioners to retain the
property for public use. The Commissioners have
nothing to apologize for in making that wise
decision. Then why all the hush-hush about the
Fowler report? It should be released to the
public without further ado.

whose soul is really linked with God and
good can refuse to recognize failure
even as an acquaintance. The uplifted
palm branches tell us that as they
speak of the most illustriouS example
Of the success Of failure.
Surely. at the place called Calvary.
the career Of the young prophet Of
Nazareth, the Teacher Of Galilee, was
branded with all the signs Of abject
defeat. His dismayed disciples wrote
the obituary Of dead hopes and dreams
when they walled: I'VE had hoped that
it was He who would redeem Israeli"
promise and lighted with glory end
abruptly at grim gallows and . dead
leader! But Jean Paul Richter. as an
impartial historian, sees that failure
in the light Of the ages as he exclaims:
That crucified Jew with His pierced
hands has lifted the gates of empires
of their hinges, has turned the streams
Of the centuries into new channels and
still governs the years."
The palm branches proclaim that as
they confront today's pagan emblems
Of the rampant might Of modern
Caesars. The awful failure just outside
Jerusalem's walls is now 1loodlighted by
the effulgent glory of the Risen and
Radiant Figure who is the triumphant
refutation Of the defeat his foes thought
their malice had made sure. Millions
upon millions have enshrined Calvary
in their devotion and reverence because
they see now that the failure which
seemed 50 absolute was the vestibule to
triumph most splendid. And so, with
our own faint faith rebuked by the 1e-
assuring voice Of the Success of Failure,
we listen to the triumphant paean of
those
"Who have held to their faith unseduced
BY the prize that the world holds on
high,
Who have dared for . high cause to
suffer,
Resist. tight; if need be. to die.
Speak, history! Who are LIES victors?
Unroll thy long annals and say,
Are they those whom the world called
the victors, who won the success
of the day?
The martyrs. or Nero? The Spartans,
who fell at Thermopylae's tryst,
Or the Persians and Xerxes? His judges
or Socrates? PLATE or Christi"

Embarrassment on Trieste

The United States Britain and France are
caught in a difficult and embarrassing position
on the Trieste issue.
BY terms of the 1947 Italian peace treaty
the Big Three and Soviet Russia were among
the signatory. powers-the disputed future of
Trieste was solved temporarily by creation of
Free Territory to be placed under United Ma
tions governorship. Pending agreement on this
governorship-which is now virtually impossible
because the plan has been outmoded by events,
including the Kremln-opposed Anglo-French-
American action recently revising the 1947
treaty with Italy-it was arranged that Yugo-
sav force would occupy one zone of the territory
and British American force would occupy the
remaining zone. Yugoslavia, a Communist nation,
was then in close association with the Communist
bloc headed by Soviet Russia.
In 1948, major battle in the cold war was
being fought in the Italian general elections.
AS one phase of the Western anti-Communist
intervention in this campaign, the Big Three
Joined in an open recommendation that Trieste
be returned in toto to Italy The proposal was
rejected by Yugoslavia but the making of it was
credited with an important part In the election
defeat of the Italian Communists and solid
political victory for the pro-Western elements
In Italy
The stage for unforeseen trouble was set
meanwhile when the Belgrade government OF
Marshal Tito split with Moscow and the Com
munist bloc. Since then it has been part OF
Western policy to perpetuate that split and to
draw Yugoslavia closer and more tightly into the
Western orbit. But Italy and Yugoslavia have
remained at odds over the Trieste issue.
On several occasions in the intervening
period, spokesman for the Belgrade and Rome
governments have talked Of direct negotiations
but there has been little or no action to imple-
ment their words. Rome obviously feels 1t has
Q trump card in the Big Three recommendation
of 1948; Belgrade has made clear it will not
accept such a solution.
The current chapter of this quandary arises
primarily out of public demonstrations In Italy,
probably Communist inspired. in favor Of Fore
