1t must be remembered that the
rodent bite is, next to the bite of
human, the very worst there is.
The best way to handle such animal
bites, however, is not to get them in
the first place.
This may be achieved by a little
elementary caution.
In the first place, our gray squirrel
is wild animal.
He issquite wild, indeed; no molly
coddle fellow. he, but a real denizen
of the woods The fact that he comes
to our yards shows that there are
enough woods left there to suit him.
He is a tree fellow, a climber, a
roamer of the leafy airways.
He and his pals. for thousands of
years. have found safety in fight

But if fight doesn't save them, they
still have one great weapon left, the
bite
The squirrel bite is just q little
quicker than the counterattack Of
most animals.

PurposeIy Omitted

ConSpicuously missing from Attorney Gen
eral Brownell's 10-point program for dealing
more effectively with the Communist menace
was the oft-heard proposal for outlawing the
Communist Party Mr.. Brownell gave House
Judiciary subcommittee some good reasons for
the omission.
One of the more persuasive reasons was
that the passing of law to make party men,
berShip a crime automatically would nullify
the Internal Security Act of 1885, which re-
ouires registration of the Communist Party
and its members. The shrill' screams from
Communist leaders which greeted enactment
of the law and the subsequent bitter battle
which the Communist Party waged against
compliance with its provisions indicate that
this legislation hurt the party badly. Mr.
BrowneI told the subcommittee that it would
be regrettable II the operation of this law were
to be suspended just as it is beginning to prove
its effectiveness as an exposer Of the Red con-
spiracy Yet the Internal Security Act might
as well be repealed if the Communist Party
is to be outlawed, for it would be self-incrimi-
mating and unconstitutional to require Com
munist to register as member of an illegal
organization.
Furthermore, it is likely that the Govern
ment would find it far more difficult to prove
Communist membership than to prove-as
required by the Internal Security Act-that the
Communist Party is foreign-controlled sub
versive conspiracy. FBI Director Hoover has
said it is becoming increasingly difficult to
prove party membership After disclosure in
the Smith Act trials of Red leaders that FBI
agents had in1iltrated the innermost councils
of the party, orders went out to destroy all
membership cards, except in the cases of party

Not Fit for Membership

The Communists will be wasting their time
at the impending Geneva conference if they
press for Red China's admission into the United
Nations. If they have any doubt as to that.
they would be well advised to read Ambassador
Lodges address the other day to the Associated
Press luncheon in New York
For Mr.. Lodge, our chief delegate to the
U. N, has reStated in the most emphatic terms
the reasons why the United States-in addition
to refusing to grant diplomatic recognition to
Peiping-"will steadfastly resist all maneuvers
by the Chinese Communist regime and it's ad-
vocates to bribe its way into the United Nations
on mere promises of good behavior in the fu-
ture." Mere promises are not enough Deeds
are what must count, and Red China's deeds to
date-aS the black record showS-clearly dis
qualify it for membership in an international
organization whose primary purpose is to "save
succeeding generations from the scourge of
war;"
These deeds speak for themselves as DOW
erful justification for our country's adamant
position on this matter. AS listed by Mr. Lodge,
they include the fact that the Chinese Com
nuniStS have been convicted by the U. NJ for
their criminal warfare in Korea the fact that
they are guilty of having committed dreadful
atrocities in the course of that warfare; the
fact that they have engaged in "hate-America"
ana "hate-the-West" propaganda of the vilest
kind; the fact that they continue to support
aggression in Indo-China, have seized Tibet and
sponsor guerrilla and subversive movements
throughout Southeast Asia; and the fact that
they have executed millions of their captive
subjects
This is only small part of the record cited
by Mr.. Lodge, but it is enough to show why the
United Nations cannot admit the Chinese Com
munists as members-unpurged of their crimes
and unrepentant-without stultifying itself and
making mockery of its own most basic
principles

Cause for Alarm,

Authorities concerned with juvenile delin-
quency have reason to be dismayed by the in
creasing gravity of the problem as revealed in
the annual FBI statistical bulletin, Uniform
Crime Reports. Using new reporting system,
the bulletin provides more comprehensive
and accurate picture Of youthful crime trends
than heretofore has been available. The figures
show an per cent rise in juvenile crime, as
compared with 2 per cent increase in adult
offenSes.
The report for 1858 is the first which offered
basis for comparison with past delinquency
reports. This is because, until 1852, the only
data available for appraising the juvenile crime
rate were f1ngerprints sent to the FBI by police.
But these figures were inaccurate, for the
reason that many Jurisdictions do not finger
print juvenile prisoners. In order to obtain
more complete information on youthful crimi-
nality, the FBI prevailed on police agencies
in 1852 to begin submitting age data in connec-
ton with arrest reports. The 1852 figures.
under the new system, could not be fairly COM
pared with prior totals compiled from finger
print records. It was not until the totals for
1858 had been prepared that any reasonably
accurate estimate Of juvenile crime trends, on
national scale, became available
For purposes of the compilation, the FBI
lists all arrests of persons under Is as juvenile
cases. The report disclosed that last year the
crime rate among these teen-agers rose much
more sharply than that for all other age groups.
Persons under Is accounted for Is per cent of
all the major crimes committed last year.
Those under 81 were responsible for SOC per
cent of Grimes against property" namely, rob-
berry, burglary, larceny, automobile theft, en-
bezzlement, fraud, dealing in stolen property,
forgery and counterfeiting. Delinquents II or
younger were involved in nearly 54 per cent of
all Stolen-car cases last year. 49 per cent of the
burglaries, 40 per cent of the larcenies and 18
per cent of the holdups.
The FBI bulletin does not attempt to place
the blame for these disturbing figures But
FBI Director Hoover, in recent article in the
Syracuse Law Review, said study of notorious
criminal cases indicated that most delinquency
was rooted in unsatisfactory home conditions,
was nurtured by community inadequacies,
especially with respect to churches, schools and
recreational facilities, and was further encour-
aged by misguided "coddling" of youthful
offenders by some parents and law enforcement
officials Washington unfortunately, has not
been free from such shortcomings-as the local
prevalence of juvenile delinquency attests.

Tariff Showdown Comma

Division within the Republican Party is
nowhere wider or deeper than over the issue
of tariff and foreign trade policies. The division
will not be closed in this session of Congress,
but an important test of strength is due soon
between the protectionist-high tariff viewpoint
on one hand and the reciprocal trade-lower
tariff philosophy of the administration on the
other.
The test will come because the Reciprocal
Trade Agreements Act is due to expire on June
IL. The act, born under Democratic admins
tration in 1884 and renewed in varying forms
in the years between, was extended unchanged
last June for one year. The extension was
accepted then by the divided Republicans as
compromise which would give time for the
Presidents, Commission on Foreign Economic
Policy to complete its study and to make long
term recommendations. These recommended
tions were made last January and President
Eisenhower directed special message to the
Congress on March 80. E
Representative Kean of New Jersey, fourth
ranking majority member on the House Ways
and Means Committee, has now introduced
bill to carry out the number-one Recommended
tion-extension of the trade agreements act for
three years. Furthermore, the bill would give
the President authority to negotiate annual
tariff reductions up to per cent maximum
on most products and by greater percentage
in cases where imports are negligible or
where the current rate is above SO per cent.
The fact that Chairman Reed and prob
ably majority of his Republican colleagues
on the Ways and Means Committee are bitterly
opposed to any tariff reductions indicates the
tough road that faces this legislation. In fact
President Eisenhower took notice of this opposi-
ton in his message when he assured the Con-
gress that the authority requested "does not
contemplate across-the- board tariff reductions"
and that the escape clause and peril point pro-
visions-by which injury to domestic producers
might be averted-would be retained
The President has made clear on several
occasions his antipathy to the "uneconomic,
man-made barriers" to a greater freedom in
world trade. The job Of lowering these bar
riers is not unilateral one but it is one in
which American initiative may be the deter
mining factor. It Is likely that some of the
Presidents recommendations on foreign eco
nomic policy will not reach the legislative stage
dit all this year. But the question of whether
the trade agreements act is to die or to ive

strument for administration action. The show

Manipulated Trusts

trust notes illegally on property which
they did not own, with our Recorder of
Deeds Office, getting receipt for the

fully and causing loss and hardship to
