McCurthy's Victory


The capitulation to Senator McCar-
thy by Secretary of the Army Stevens
appears to this veteran Of World War
II, one who has suffered wounds in
both legs and left arm, as one Of the
most despicable events Of our era.
I cannot conceive how any one who
is interested in the future of our coun-
try is willing to permit the loyal officers
of our Army to be subjected to the
brazen and humiliating insults of this
power-mad political demagogue, the
junior Senator from Wisconsin.
The issue here. assuredly, is not the
, struggle against inf1ltration of COM
munism in Government alone. but
whether we are to permit Mccarthy
to continue his mud-laden escapades,
his smearing of loyal American citizens.
for the purpose Of gaining headlines.
The Wisconsin Senator's attack upon
General wicker, wherein he stated
that the latter was not At to wear
a uniform" Is not Americanisn as I
know it, General Zwicker has served
America brilliantly and bravely and
McCarthy's attack upon him was to-
tally unwarranted and necessitates a
public apology.
voted for a change III the last
election. but now I see that made
a great error America, it appears to
me. Is faced. at present, with two par
amount threats: the horrors of COM
munism and the infamies of Mccarthy
ism-tendencies that do not belong in
our way of life. I sincerely and earn
estly hope for the future of our coun-
try that the issues will resolve them
selves.
Veteran.
The Secretary of the Army, by capit-
ulating to the demands of a Senator
in the matter of General Zwicker, has
condoned the disgraceful and humili-
ating treatment of said officer by the
Senator. The clear consequence of
this act is to visit dishonor upon all
members of the military regardless of
the color of their uniforms.
AS the only effective way have to
protest this action, have this day
resigned my reserve commission as
Lieutenant Colonel consider that

to the times. David Schine can more
suitably wear my silver leaves.

have nothing but the highest re-
spect for the basic principles for which
Senator Mccarthy and his committee
stand, but the methods they employ to
accomplish their ends are disgraceful.
Gen. wicker is fine Army officer
and boasts record which makes Sena-
tor McCarthy's look sick. The general
is a West Point graduate, participated
In the D-Day invasion of Normandy
and is a graduate of the National War
College. He has many decorations and
has had lot of experience both as a
staff officer and as commander. He
has a reputation for honesty and in
tegrity. yet Senator Mccarthy has the
audacity to question either or both.
On one occasion Mccarthy made the
statement that ANY one with the
brains of a 5-year-old child could un-
derstand the question"
Gen. Zwicker apparently was con-
fused In some of his answers but doubt
that there are many men who could
undergo such rapid-fire questioning and

The Americas at Caracas

The Tenth Inter- American Conference. as 1t
begins its deliberations today in Caracas.
Venezuela is faced with the problem of easing
a number of stresses and strains threatening
the good neighborly solidarity OF our heml-
spheric community
Peru and Colombia, for example, are at odds
over the issue of granting asylum to political
fugitives Progressive, anti-Communist Costa
Rica-as protest against alleged undemocratic
actions by the host governments boycotting
the meetings Guatemala's extremely left1st
regime has sent delegation primed to do battle
against any effort by our country to make
a big thing out of the menace of Red infltration
and subversion. And several other member
states, tending strongly to minimize that
menace, are in a mood to take the United
States to task for what they deem to be
Washington's failure to appreciate or pay
adequate attention to their problems, particu-
larly in the economic field.
As a matter of fact although the Caracas
get-together-the first of its kind since the one
held in Bogota in 1948-is scheduled to deal
with issues like the right of asylum and Com
munist inf1ltration, the chief business OF the
proceedings will almost certainly revolve around
questions of trade and aid. This has been
clearly indicated by spokesman for Venezuela
Brazil, Argentina, Chile and other countries
principally concerned. They have left no room
for doubt that they are less than happy about
the hemisphere economic situation or the way
In which the United States has been responding
to it, and our delegation-headed by Secretary
of State Dulles-is likely to be pressed for
specific assurances of cooperative action aimed
at effecting substantial improvement in the
present outlook.
The economic problems besetting many OF
our friends to the south-problems that have
been somewhat aggravated by drop in our
business with them since the signing Of the
Korean armistice-have to do primarily with
trade and the fuctuating prices OF the raw
materials they produce. Accordingly, what they
seek from us is cooperation of a sort that will
stabilize those prices at fair level and promote
q profitable export import relationship between
them and u.s. To that end, in addition to
hoping for stepped-up purchases from us, they
are anxious for technical aid, repayable loans
and private investment from the United States
to enable them to build up their internal
economies both industrially and agriculturally
Il It should be possible at Caracas to deal with
this matter in an effective manner. It should
be possible, too, to eliminate much OF the
political misunderstanding that has developed
among the member states since Bogota. In
ANY event, judging from the fine work done at
all such conferences in the past there Is good
reason to hope that this latest gathering OF
the Americas will have genuinely fruitful results
contributing to the well-being Of the entire
hemisphere.

Good Case for Family Court

In view Of the overwhelming testimony in
support of the Family Court proposal, the
Senate District Judiciary Subcommittee should
have no difficulty in making up its mind about
the pending BILL The diversionary tactics Of
several opponents Of the plan are not likely to
prevail against the weight of persuasive teSti-
mony by such respected advocates as Chief
Judge Stephens of the United States Court of
Appeals Chief Judge Laws of the District Court,
Chief Judge Walsh of the Municipal Court and
other authorities. The subcommittee had before
it. also, resolutions indorsing the new court
adopted by the United States and the District
Judicial Conferences.
The attacks made on the judges by two
local attorneys had no proper place in the con-
sideration of this important legislation The
only pertinent arguments were those bearing
on the merits of the plan to set up special
court in Washington to handle domestic-rela
tons cases. That the idea is sound one was
indicated in series of articles in The Star on
the successful family tribunals in Toledo, Ohio
and Detroit, Michigan. It is interesting to note
that the subcommittee inserted the articles in
the record of the hearing.
Chief Judge Stephens stressed point that
constitutes one of the outstanding advantages
of the special-court plan over the present sys-
tenn of hearing such cases Unfortunately in
District Court. The present practice, he said,
is very efficacious for the destruction of the
bonds of matrimony or for annulment, but not
for saving the marriage or protecting child well
fare" 1t is simply impracticable to expect the
busy District Court to devote much time to the
important efforts, made in family courts to
avert the breaking up of families. The three
Judge tribunal envisioned under the proposed
legislation would be able to render this sort of
constructive service to families and to the
community.

ton by refusing to pay the VIVA for past or
planned student-nurse services to Public As
sistance Division patients. This stand has de-
prived the association Of $4,000 Of the $4,000
appropriated by Congress specifically for VIVA
participation in the public nursing program
here This is a serious financial blow to the
association, which is Community Chest
agency. Last years contract still is in dispute.
The issue is pending before the Controller Gen.
eral Meanwhile a new contract for fiscal 1854
Is being held up.
Despite the delay In signing last years
agreement, the VIVA, as public duty continued
to render nursing service to all p. A. D. patients
brought to its attention. The student nurses
taking part in this work are not freshmen in
any sense. They are either fourth-year stu
dents in one of the two local university nursing
schools or third-year students in one OF the
former president of the District Medical Society
and chairman of the VIVA Medical Advisory
Committee, told the Commissioners at public
hearing that these senior students do not
experiment with patients or learn by trial
and error" They are under strict supervision.
After eight weeks of P. A. D. work they return
to their schools for graduation. Many other
large cities use the visiting student nurses in
the public assistance field without question
Unless it can be shown that the local situation
involves dangers or disadvantages inimical to
public health-a situation that apparently would
be unique in the broad field of public assistance
nursing--the Commissioners should end the dis
pute, IN favor OF the Visiting Nurse Association.
