Touqh Times for Bottle Clubs

There was a time when Prince Georges
County paid little official attention to pros
pective or actual invasionS by racketeering
elements or by those who make business of
catering to them. That things definitely have
changed across the District line is evidenced
by the inhospitable attitude of the county
Commissioners toward Washingtons ill-famed
bottle club interests. The commissioners have
made it plain that they do not want their
county to become haven for undesirables from
the District or anywhere else.
In years past Prince Georges County has
had lot of unfavorable publicity as result of
its apparent tolerance of gamblers and of illegal
joints of one sort or another. There were
sporadic raids which usually produced no re-
suits, because of tip-offs. AS soon as the raids
were over the sporting establishments re-
opened to enjoy periods of prosperous activity.
Eventually the law-abiding citizens of the
county could take the official laXity no longer.
They registered their protests in public meet
ings and, more effectively. at the polls Today
Prince Georges County is making good progress
toward cleaning up.
The commissioners, representing new
political regime, reacted quickly when reports
were published about plans of some of Washing
tons former bottle club proprietors to move
their dives over into nearby Maryland One
Gently in Comar Manor as to possible locations
and as to the attitude of town authorities
toward the after-hours drinking spots The
town council lost no time in making its hostile
attitude known. 1t set the license fee for such
establishments at $2500. Whether this is pro-
hibitvely high is question that only the club
promoters themselves can answer. No licenses
as yet have been applied for.
Meanwhile, the County Commissioners are
seeking to keep the crime-breeding clubs out of
the county by special ordinance so restrictive
as to discourage them from seeking admittance.
In the District Congress legiSlated the clubs out
of existence by requiring them to take out
non-profit licenses and to abide by other regu-
lations. Washington's example is well worth
study by all suburban areas which want to keep
the joints out of their midst 1t would be good

Horvurd's S Dilemma

It can hardly be said that Harvard Uni
versity's handling of the case of Dr. Helen
Deane Markham, associate professor of anat-
omy, points the way to clear and satisfactory
procedure for dealing with faculty members
suspected of Communist affliation.
DR.. Markham's case is an old one. On
May 20, the Harvard Corporation, the univer-
sity's administrative body, adjudged her guilty
of misconduct" for refusing to answer queS-
tions put by the Senate subcommittee on IN
ternal Security. This fell short of finding of
grave misconduct" required by the university
statutes as basis for dismissal.
The case was reopened after testimony had
been received by the subcommittee from other
sources to the effect that DR.. Markham had
been a Communist. Again, however, the uni
versity decided in DR.. Markham's favor. There
might be ground for suspicion that she Is
Communist, it concluded, but there was not
sufficient proof of Communist domination in
her case to support finding of grave miscon-
duct. To dismiss her Immediately in this
situation, the corporation concluded, would
"iustifably create feeling of insecurity on
the part of all our faculty members, which
would be far more damaging to the university
than retaining DR.. Markham for the remaining
10 months of her term"
Thus, Harvard works its way out OF
dilemma. Dr. Markham, the proof of Com
munist afiliation being insufficient, Is not to
be fired now, but neither will she be reappointed
when her term expires 10 months hence. The
effect, it would seem, will be to get rid of her
without a finding of grave misconduct and
without dismissal in the absence OF such
finding-a procedure which presumably will
not create a feeling of insecurity on the part
of other faculty members
This may strike some people as rather
confused effort to keep the right hand from
knowing what the left hand Is doing But in
any event it Is Harvard's own solution, worked
out by Harvards administrative body, and not
dictated by a Senate committee or any other
agency of government.

Fifty Years Ago in The Star =.

The Star for September 9, 1908, ex-
planned that funds for extending the
British Museum were being

Lottery 900 pounds, adding: 1T is
interesting to note that the
original funds for the establishment of
the institution were raised by a lot

of Commons were the managers and
trustees. The amount of the lottery
was 800, 900 pounds and tickets were
3 pounds each. Part of the proceeds
went to buy the famous Sloane COL
lections and the Harleian Library.
On September Z, 1908, The Star said:

trial
There is no reason, except that it might
inconvenience the Air Force, why 10th could
not be tried in this country. The Air Force, to
be sure, claims that the new Uniform Code of
Military Justice sanctions its handling of the
10th case. But If this is true, it is misnomer
to use the word justice in connection with the
CODE Certainly it would be dismaying brand
of justice if the law permits branch Of the
armed services to arrest a, civilian and compel
him to go halfway around the world to stand
trial. Judge Holtzoff took the view that this
could not be done, and one may hope that his
view is the correct one.

Too Long an Arm

There can hardly be any rational basis for
disagreement with Judge Holtzoff's use of the
word appalling" in condemning the Air Forces
handling of the case of Robert w. 10th.
10th was accused of completely while in
the service in the murder of a Korean civilian.
Since no civil court would have jurisdiction,
it is necessary and proper that he be tried by
q military tribunal.
But this does not mean that military police
should be permitted to seize 10th in Pittsburgh

Progress and Poverty

The increasing prevalence of strikes
at home and abroad is very serious
matter. It is unfortunate that in strikes
military force is substituted for an
understanding of economic laws. 1t is
we'll to understand that wages. to-
gether with all earned incomes. are
rightly fixed by the natural law OF
supply and demand. Organized labor
is not satisfied with this. so strikes are
resorted to, demanding the special ad-
vantage of frequently increased hourly
pay. This, of course, is unfair to all
other workers and the general public
It causes steady increase in the cost
of living 1t is enormously believed that
strikes are the only way to serve the
workers welfare Henry George. who
had been a worker himself and was
twice nominated for Mayor of New
York City. has demonstrated a far
better way without injustice to any
one. Henry Ware Allen.
