French and German Doubts

The appeal by Frances Premier Mayer to
international opinion to trust him in his efforts
for European unity must be accepted in good
faith.
M. Mayer was able to form government
after dangerous 16-day hiatus In the French
political picture-only by acknowledging the
many crosscurrents of that multiple party
system. Among the most obdurate doubts were
those surrounding the European Defense Com
munity treaty and the Bonn peace contract-
the merging OF continental French forces In a
single uniform six power army, including West
German forces, and the further relationships
between France and revived German Repub-
lie. They were doubts that were understandable
in the light of French German history even
though their emergence was highly unfortu-
nate at this time They were doubts that in
volved not only the proposed close association
with Germany, incidentally, but the lack of
closer association with Britain. BY recognizing
these reservations and undertaking to meet
them through negotiation of series of supple
mentary and clarifying protocols, M. Mayer
gained the initial support he needed, particu-
larly of the Gaullist bloc
French cabinet committee has now been
designated to draft the desired protocols. Ad-
dressing the Anglo American Press Association
OF Paris, the Premier announced that the two

without delay" and cited his own record in
support of international cooperation as evil
dence of his deserving trust. Obviously the term
without delay" is relative one since the very
preparation and negotiation of the protocols
will be delaying factor. There is however, no
alternative in the present circumstances and
the Premier has made persuasive case for his
own sincerity and good intent.
Meanwhile, the Bonn government Is faced
with comparable problems inherent in the Ger
man political scene. Chancellor Adenauer, q
champion of the unity proposals, is awaiting
constitutional opinion on the treaties and has
agreed, in principle, to the desirability of some
interpretive protocols. whether the French
drafts will be acceptable to DR.. Adenauer's gov
ernment must await their preparation and SUBJ
mission. DR.. Adenauer's opposition is becoming
increasingly outspoken and If he is faced with
French requests that imply major change in
the proposed French German relationship it
will add to the troubles in Bonn
Suggestions that Britain might resolve the
problem by becoming full member of the EDO
have been turned aside by London. There is
still hope, however that some added guarantees
might be given by the British government and
that further persuasion from Washington after
January 20 might allay some of the current
Paris-Bonn doubts. The next few weeks win be
important ones and there is no reason now to
feel that the present delays viii prove to be
fatal.

The new President told Americans that
sin no nation are the fruits of &C
complishment more secure" Seconding
the motion was none other than John
j. Raskob, Democratic National Com
mitteeman, who said: IF a man saves
SIS a week and invests in good COM
mon stocks and allows the dividends
and rights to accumulate, at the end
of 20 years he will have at least $4,000
and an income from investment Of
around $400 month. He will be rich.
And because income can do that, I am
firm in my belief that anyone not only
can be rich but ought to be rich"
In other words, everybody was sitting
pretty. What if it was raining that day?

blue, unblemished by clouds-not even

Cemetery as Building Site

read in The Star of January 2
about the plea before Prince Georges
Circuit Court by a lawyer for a real
estate company to close a private
cemetery and permit removal of II
bodies so the site could be use to build
a warehouse.
The property was willed by it's right
full owner, Fielder Magruder, as a
cemetery. He was seeking to protect
forever his and his relatives graves.
IT it was willed for this purpose how
can it ever be assumed to be a part of
the land it adjoins? How can it ever
be acquired by purchaser of adjacent
land?
This company is grabbing for some-
thing that does not belong to it.
We consider ourselves civilized but
surely there is something wrong with
our laws If they permit such desecra-
tion of cemetery. There should be
laws to make cemetery property, par
ticularly willed property. forever in

editor of the Conservation News Service of the
National Resources Council of America and
will serve out his term as general counsel for
the International Association Of Game, Fish
and Conservation Commissioners. Also, he has
agreed to continue as conservation consultant

welldeserved tributes to one who has played
major role in securing measures to safeguard

Chronic Criminols

Day after day your paper and many
others are filed with reports of crimes
and Of the degradation Of our society.
For many years I have thought deeply
about the way our young people Of
both sexes are led into crime and eSpe-
cially of how there are so many crimi-
mails who have been convicted and SEN
fenced by our courts over and over
again.
There have been many reforms with
regard to methods of conviction and
punishment. Society has done its ut
most to rehabilitate criminals and
make them useful citizens. This is all
good and this work must be continued
and even improved.
But what has been done to take the
incentive for committing crime out Of
the criminal? What Of criminals who
do not wish to reform? What of crimi-
mails who are convicted. sentenced and
then let loose to commit new crimes
and corrupt our youth? What about
dope addicts who are treated over and
over and then let loose to infect young

many times should criminals be let
loose on society to commit new crimes?
Shouldn't there be a limit?
With respect to the above, propose
that there should be Federal law and,
If necessary, an amendment to the
Constitution which will permanently
remove from society any criminal who
is convicted more than three times Of
committing any crime.
If criminal has not reformed after
being convicted of three crimes. he no
longer deserves to be permitted to re-
enter society or given the opportunity
to commit further crimes against that
society.
