Curious Conduct for a Policeman

Almost as myStifying as the whereabouts
Of the missing ransom money in the Greenlease
kidnapping case is the strange conduct of Police
Lieutenant Louis Shoulders, credited with acci-
dentally breaking" the case. First, the st.
Louis officer resigned during the course of an
inquiry by his superiorS and by the FBI into
his handling of the arrest of the confessed
kidnaper. He said he could not stand being
"caStigated" and having his character "assas-
sinated" Then he baked at appearing before
4 Federal grand jury investigating disappear
ance of about half of the ransom money He
said he would "stand on my constitutional
rights and refuse to testify" Now, however,
he says he will appear but that he might
withhold certain information.
Earlier Lieutenant Shoulders had told
reporters "Im not afraid of discriminating
myself, but refuse to disclose or dvulge the
names of my informants that helped me catch
the kidnapers." To say that the neutenant's
Interpretation of his constitutional rights is
curious one is an underStatement. While the
Fifth Amendment does give Lieutenant Shoul-
derS the right to protect himself from self
incriminaton, he has no constitutional right
to protect others from incrimination Indeed,
it is not the duty of law enforcement officer
to protect person from incrimination, if the
person is involved in an otfense, but to do all
in his power to incriminate him.
There are indications that the grand jury
is more interested, anyway, in other aspects Of
Lieutenant Shoulders activities in the case
than in knowing the identity of some tipSter.
If he had persisted in declining to appear for
questioning at all, the officer would have been
doing more to assaSsinate his own character
than his Superiors have been ACCUSED of doing.
He would have been inviting not only con-
tempt-of-court citation but the castigation OF
the general public. BY cooperating in the
investigation Lieutenant Shoulders if innocent
of any wrongdoing, can help to clear away the
clouds that have arisen as the aftermath of
the Sordid Greenlease crime.

The Admiral Was Misouoted

In The Evening Star of October IA,
1858, there appeared an article entitled,
British Lead in New Plane Engines
Cited" in which was quoted as having
stated that the De Havilland Gyron
engine will eventually reach 10000
pounds thrust" wish to inform you
that positively did not state that this
engine will reach 10000 pounds thrust,
nor did mention any figures concern
ing it. stated clearly that no figures
on thrust and other characteristics of
this engine have been released by the
British government, which has only
recently permitted the existence of
the engine to be revealed.
shall appreciate it if you will see
that this correction of your article is
made public.
L. B. Richardson,
Rear Admiral, U. S. N. Ret.)
editors Note: Admiral Richardson
is correct in his statement that he did
not say the engine will eventually
reach 10000 pounds thrust. A press
release from the Institute of Aero
nautical Sciences announcing the ad-
miral'S speech was the source Of the
statement which was inadvertently at
tributed to the admiral)

Another BroWneII Comes to Woshinoton

ship. There is tremendous undeveloped
talent in this country, he feels. The
Federal Governments job is to help
State and local communities to keep
aware Of the problems and to provide
stimulation.
I'm sure also that another big prob
lem is our educational relationship with
other countries" he says. "The place
we occupy in world affairs forces us to
accept leadership in development of
other countries. It's fully as much a
problem as development of other natu-
raj resources"
He is not worried about criticism of
failure to teach students to read and
write" Children are not born brighter
now than formerly, "but they need
more knowledge. skill and understand
ing to get along today. so the problem
OF the schools is greater. We know
more about teaching and child develop
ment and we know from reports Of edu-
Gators. that 'readin n ritin' is q con-
tinuing problem. The evidence is to the
contrary that more people are being
graduated better trained than ever
before"
Criticism. he adds, demonstrates that
the schools belong to the people and
there is, he says, more public support
for good schools than ever before.
AS to soaring cost Of public school
education. with schools taking more
than half Of town and city budgets,
Commissioner Brownell knows of mo
place around here where people are
spending so much on education they
can't feed and clothe themselves. If
they feel schools are worth while they
will spend as much as is needed. If
build a house I'll try to get the best
one for the least money. I want my
child to go to good physical school
plant"
In some places in Arkansas and Mis-
sissippi, he noted, people may cut down
trees and donate their labor to build
schools though they have no money.
1t all depends on what you are willing
to sacrifice to educate your children.
Commissioner Brownell believes there
should be more men teachers in pri-
mary and secondary schools; children
at home and in school grow up in a
feminine world. Much Of the increased
male enrolment at New Haven State
Teachers College reflects Sam Brown
ellis abiding faith in the opportunities
for young men in education.

1.-THE strength of American educa-

Sponsible for education, it has seen fit
to place the responsibility largely in
local communities and so the greatest
problem is to see that people in those
communities have all the information
necessary to develop their schools most
wisely"

Suspended Aid to IsrueI

l, for one, am delighted that Mr..
Dulles has seen 1it to suspend aid to
Israel, pending definite action by the
U. N.
One does not need to be genius
to realize that our somewhat negligent
attitude toward the Arab nations is
costing us the good will of badly needed
allies in event Of war with Russia.
I fail to fathom what possible effect
the suspension of aid to Israel could
have upon the welfare Of American
Jews" to quote the president Of B'nai

Teaching Hondbooks

want to express my appreciation
for the article by James, G. Deane re-
garding the school board and teaching
handbookS.
It's good to hear that some of the
board members are interested in the
materials that go to make up the teach
ing handbooks, and feel that sincere
congratulations are in order to Mrs.
Frank S. Phillips and Robert r.
Faulkner and to DR.. Hansen - even
though his conviction was not strong
enough for positive vote-for show
ing real interest in what students are
being taught.

Mrs. RooseveIt's Views on Hiss

A newspaper headline says Mrs.
Roosevelt Sees Cohn, Schine as Harm
full as Hiss" Then the article goes on
to explain even though Mrs. Roosevelt
attacked Senator McCarthy's investi-
eating methods she conceded that she
believed Communists should not hold
Government posts.
She is quoted further as saying: "And
I believe that Alger Hiss, had he re-
mained as head of the Carnegie
Foundation (his job at the time of his
arrest), without detection of his alleged
reasonable act, would have done less
harm to the cause of this Nations
prestige abroad than Schine and Cohn
MCCARTHY Investigators did in their
junket through Europe"
So by Mrs Roosevelt's own public
statement she admits that she thinks
a now-convicted perjurer, a Soviet
espionage agent, and q Communist
during his Government employment is
less harmful Gas long as he is unex-
poseO to United States prestige abroad
than officially assigned investigators
Schine and Cohn who were carrying
out their official tasks for the people of
the United States.
Has either Mr.. Schine or Mr.. Cohn
ever been convicted of perjury? Is there
any evidence either has ever served or
is now serving the totalitarian Com
munist movement? In Mrs. Roose-
velt's mind can their chief shortcoming
be that they have successfully exposed
the existence of the use of Communists
in various areas of our Government
and other places?
1t seems incredible that one so
prominent would, at this late date in
the struggle against communism, still
consider Alger Hiss act or actions only
"allegedly" reasonable in the face Of
the overwhelming evidence on the
record.
May it please be suggested that
statements of this kind from former
First Lady are infinitely more harmful
to the prestige Of this Nation than the
tracking down and exposing of sub
verSiveS will ever be.

Polio Vaccine
Test Is Planned

ST. PAUL, MINI. B ~ A mass
test of a new polio vaccine on as
many as a half million U. S. chill
dren may be undertaken this year
by the National Foundation for l.
fatile Paralysis.
Basil O'Connor, foundation direc-
tor, voiced that possibility here
Friday night in a talk at a six
state meeting of workers for the
March of Dimes Campaign, which
mainly supports the foundation.
O'Connor said a vaccine devel-
oped by DR.. Jonas Salk of the Uni
versity of Pittsburgh would be used
if the experiment is carried out.
He added that this vaccine had
shown enough promise to warrant
such a large-Scale test.
The director told the fund work
erS from Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa,
Wisconsin and the two Dakotas that
1858 was shaping up as another
heavy polio year, perhaps our
heaviest.

change in the attitude of the reck-
less and isolationist wing of the
Republican party"
Truman declared that the Re-
publican House members ''by
the score deserted their leaders"
last week to vote for cuts in the
Mutual Security program. 1T was
the Democrats" he said ''under
Sam Rayburn, the minority leader,
who provided the margin of vic
tory for the Republican admins
tration."
The Truman defense budget of
about II billion dollars has been
cut to about Sc billion by the Eli
Senhower administration. Most of
the reductions in the budget for the
IL months beginning July l apply
to the Air Force. The goal set in
the Truman administration was for
an air force of 143 wings and the
present goal is for 120 wings by
mid-1955. A wing varies in size
from 80 bomberS to IS fighters.
First reaction to the Truman ad-
dress came from Leonard w. Hall,
chairman of the Republican Ma.
tiOnal Committee who declared:
"Mr. Truman is back at the old
stand soft on economy, soft on
money and soft on communism.
In a statement issued in Wash
ington Hall declared Mr.. Truman
was given a well-deserved rest by
the American people, and he should
take it."
Republican senators reactions to
the speech were Chilly. Sen. Fer
guson (R-Mich), chairman of the
subcommittee considering defense
funds, said Truman is "Still hook.
ing feathers on dollar bills and
calling them Air Force wings"
The Michigan senator said Tru.
man apparently forgot he i'm
pounded some 700 million dollars
Congress voted for Air Force ex-
pansion." (ThiS was in reference
to action Oct. 20, 1949, when Tru-
man ordered placed ''in reserve"
a 615 million dollar item in mill
tary appropriations to build the
Air Force to s. groups, saying the
size the House wanted would be
inconsistent with a realistic and
balanced security program which
we can support in peacetime.")
Chairman Saltonstall (R-Mass) of
the Senate Armed Services Com
mittee said Truman has given us
no new facts. OF course there
is danger from atomic attacks and
there always will be-" SaltonstaIl
said, adding that the Eisenhower
budget will decrease danger by
providingl"a better defense"
Sen. HendrickSon GRIND, armed
services committeeman said the
Truman speech is additional evil
dence that he personally never did
understand these defense budgets.
