Of No Further Value

Ponce Cn1eI MurrayS main concern IN
the unsavory Carper-Taylor case was to get
rid Of the two officers involved as quickly
as possible. He has accomplished that end
by accepting the designations Of Lieutenant
Carper and Detective Sergeant Taylor un-
der conditions adverse to the pair. Chief
Murray's letter asking for the designations
understated the situation when he told the
attorney for the men that he did not feel
they could be "of any further value" to the
Police Department.
Carper and Taylor, formerly in charge
Of the departments anti-narcoticS squad,
were acquitted recently of completely In an
especially shameful plot to frustrate justice.
A. number Of drug peddlers accused them
Of accepting bribes for protection Of the
dangerous and degrading drug racket. The
Government felt that it was prevented by
Court Of Appeals ruling and by statute
from introducing evidence relating to
Lieutenant Carper's financial affairs-evi-
dence which he had been unable or unWill-
ing to explain to a Senate committee.
After the acquittal on the major counts,
Carper faced two additional indictments.
But the Government, confronted by SIM
liar diff1culties in pursuing the prosecution.
asked for dismissal of the remaining
charges. Judge Tamm, in agreeing to the
dismissal, criticized the prosecution for de-
Gliding to drop the two remaining indict-
ments against Carper. He thought they
should have been tried. The Judge may be
right in this view. The fact remains. how
ever, that the indictment on which Carper
was tried was the strongest case. The two
which were dismissed were subject to the
same restraints on the use of evidence,
and, in addition, the usable evidence was
weaker sG
With the criminal charges cleared
from the court docket, the prospect Of police
trial board action remained. But Chief
Murray had been advised that there were
serious legal questions as to the right Of
the District to force the officers to go to
trial, should they elect to resign. He chose,
therefore, to take the initiative in removing
the officers through asked-for designations,
with the proviso that neither man could
draw pensions. This course will save the
District time and money in possible trial
board action that would have prolonged the
painful episode for the department.. Under
all the circumstances, acceptance Of the
conditional designations was probably
justified.

tee are severely disillusioned for q
thankleSS job.
The members Of the Senate Repub-
licans and Democrats alike) appear to
have adopted an ostrich-like attitude
with regard to the censure hearings.
Perhaps they believe that If they have
as little to do with the hearings as
possible, by some political magic. their
hands will remain unsoiled by the
sordid business. An attitude of this
sort is as unrealistic for the Senators
as for the ostrich. They cannot escape
their deep obligation to their con-
stituents and to the country to face
up to the issue squarely and cpurag-
euosly and render fair verdict regard
less of the consequences.
The sooner the Senators put their
hearts into the censure hearings the
better. There is no reason why the
Senate cannot give the arguments, pro
and con, their undivided attention for
two solid weeks and then after search
ing their consciences carefully. come
to a clear-cut decision. A decision
arrived at in this way would serve the
best interests of this country.

The Man in the Iron Luna

Fred B. Snite, junior, gave courage to
hundreds Of other prisoners OF circum-
stance. The cheerful example he set, in his
mechanical respirator inspired many of his
handicapped contemporaries including
some who fortunately had no physical prob
lens to solve but only those economic, social
and deeply personal difficulties which are
the common lot of human beings.
When the Boiler Kid" first came to
public attention in 1886, artificial breathing
machines were novelties and experiments.
Newspaper accounts of his illness and the
means by which it partially was alleviated
were revelation to readers who, up to
then, had believed pulmonary paralysis a
fatal affliction. He lived and thus helped
others to survive. Moreover, he lived
hitherto incredibly normal life--married
and had children, attended football games
and participated in bridge tournaments,
went to church practically every Sunday,
shared in many polio campaigns and con-,
tributed Systematically of his wealth to aid
acquaintances and strangers similarly
stricken.
Above all, Mr.. Snite cultivated the art
of being his best self. If he complained,
the fact never was reported. He realized
to the fullest extent the poignancy of his
position, but his faith in the principle of
justice and mercy in the universe never
wavered. At the last, he still had courage
and even his death was a humane service
Of sort-an ultimate incident quietly ac-
cepted In night of sleep.

What all this adds up to IS q conviction
on the part Of each and all Of the investi-
gators that human civilization in the Arctic
sector Of the Western Hemisphere dates
back at least to 1000 B. G. Other archaeo-
logical and ethnographical enterprises may
push the calendar still further away from
Columbus. Recent finds in Oregon. New
Mexico and Indiana, tested BY Geiger count
ers, have been suggested to go back three
times as far as the Denbigh- Dorset relics

situation of not knowing what they are
talking about. The beautiful gem,
which is modern psychiatry, can be
extricated from the rather base metal.
which is 18th century philosophy, In
which 1t Is displayed.
The dificulty in "nneaningful COM
niunication'' "a tautology which does
not make communication any easier)
between psychiatrists and lawyers Is
not to be laid to q discrepancy between
.'psychiatric reality and legal formula." !"
On the contrary. it is due to meta
physical niyopia with which both pro-
fessions are afflicted. The common
bond between the psychiatrist and the
lawyer is the human person. with
whom they both treat from their spe-
cifically different points of view. If
the reality which Is man is understood,
and this requires a venture into meta
physics. then, and only then. will the
psychiatrist and the lawyer be able.
with remarkable ease and to their. as
well as society's. great advantage. to
speak common language language
which will keep intact the specifically
different points of view and still be
common to both--the language Of
metaphysics, rooted in the reality with
whom they are dealing.
This is an issue In which all respon-
sible citizens have an obligatory in
terest. Mr.. Fortas' championing of
the integration of new knowledge into
our legal apparatus is laudable: The
Stars insistence that the integration
be sound is a manifestation Of much
needed prudence in controversial
area. We must be on our guard lest

Demands Increase.

The demands for changes in the rules
governing committee hearings have
multiplied since Senator Mccarthy took
over the conduct of investigations by
the permanent Senate subcommittee
on investigations, of which he has
neen chairman. Many charges were
made that Senator Mccarthy was un-
lair in his dealing with witnesses, and
that ne was irresponsible in bringing
accusations against many persons who
were "sn1eared" before they ever had
an opportunity to defend themselves.
The Senate leaders, both Republican
and Democratic, have pledged that
rules VIII be amended so as to better
protect witnesses against unfair prac-
tices when the new Congress meets. It
is no easy matter, however, to adopt
code which will guarantee fair treat
ment and at the same time not tie the
hands of a Senate committee inyes.
tigating subversion or any other SUBJ
ject. Presumably, whatever recon-
mendations may be made by the Rules
Committee will lead to considerable de-
bate. But in view of the recent history
OF Senate nvestigations-not all of
-
them conducted by Senator Mccarthy
the demand that something be done
will be strong.
The Watkins committee resolution
dealing with rules is designed especially
to meet several of the criticisms of
Senator McCarthys handling Of inyes-
legations. 1t provides no witness shall
be compelled to testify before a conn
mittee with less than two members
present: that witnesses shall be inter-
rogated only by members and author
lied staff personnel. and no person shall
be employed or assigned to investiga-
tive activities until approved by the
