SobeII Loses

Federal Judge Irving r. Kaufman
had ample reason to turn thumbs down
on Morton Sobells petition for a new
trial.
Sobell was convicted with julius and
Ethel Rosenberg of conspiracy to COM
NIT wartime espionage. The Rosenbergs
have been executed and Sobell is serving
30-year sentence.
In his new-trial bid, he challenged
the Jurisdiction of the court which tried
him, contending that he had been kid
naped in Mexico and returned by force
to this country. He also argued that the
Government had used perjured testimony
to support claim that he had been ex-
tradited from Mexico. The purpose of
this, he said, was falsely to persuade the
jury that he had fled from this country
and had been involuntarily returned,
thereby supporting theory that his
flight was evidence of guilt.
Judge kaufman rejected these con-
tentionS in strong terms. The petition,
the court said, is entirely devoid of
merit" But the most damning thing
against Sobell is the fact that he had
ample opportunity to advance his claim
of KIDNAPPING and perjury at the trial and
chose not to do so. He preferred not to
take the stand in his own defense, even
though friend, Max Elichter, had spe-
ciflcally involved him in the conspiracy.
This being the case, there can be no
reasonable doubt as to his guilt The
objections which he raises now, and
which he has raised repeatedly since his
conviction, come too late in the day.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Foreign Service a Growing Force
BY GOULD LINCOLN

that applications for the last
three written examinations
have totaled 1904, 1894 and
1850 in contrast to the 1881
applications received in 1854.
When the Secretary of
States Public Committee made
its report there had been no
appointments to Glass 6 (the
beginning Foreign Service off,
Ger class for two years. Since
then more than 800 new Glass
6 officers have been appointed.
The department expects to
appoint a large number of
junior officers this year and
to continue appointing $50
each year. in order to keep the
Foreign Service stated largely
by those who enter at the
bottom and through training
and ability climb the ladder
to positions Of greatest respon-
sibility.
Examinations Facilitated
The examination of appli-
cants for the Foreign Service
has been streamlined-not
through any lessening Of
standards, but by shortening
the time, making the exami-
nations more easily accessible
to applicants all over the coun-
try. The written examination
may be taken in one day in
any of IS cities in the United
States and its territories. The
oral examination no longer
requires the applicants to
travel to Washington - the
State Department sends ex-
aiming panels to at least IS
regional centers.
The indignation of officers
in the other personnel systems
has worked exceedingly well
and a further 800 appoint
ments to the Foreign Service
under this program are ex-
pected by early fall. One Of
the valuable accomplishments
growing out of the buildup of
the Foreign Service has been
the return to this country Of
men who have served long
periods overseas. for assign
ment in Washington. Many
foreign officers have served a
score Of years or more outside
the country with only two
years or less in America. The
department now plans to ro-
tate Foreign Service officers
so that they will be in the
United States for four out Of
every ten years. In Washing
ton, they perform valuable
services, for which they are
prepared by their experience
abroad, and at the same time
they are kept more in touch
with the important facts in
this country.
Congress has gone far to-
ward making possible the inn
provements in the Foreign
Service recommended by the
Wriston committee. 1t still
has some amendments to the
Foreign Service Act to enact.
DR.. Wriston himself said re-

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

is that Of a kind Of simmer
ing.
The very flowers seem to be
in motion.
On going closer, the observer
sees that the motion is real,
not the effect of an optical
illusion.
The bees constantly change
their positions, not only at
the individual blooms, but also
from blossom to blossom, and
from plant to plant.
Modern investigation de-
clares that all bees know
where the flowers are by
watching the dancing patterns
of other bees.
In other words, we are asked
to believe that these mighty
little creatures give each other
directions by the ways they
dance, and not only give direc-
tons. but tell others just how,
far to fly, and in which direc-
ton.
1t is all pretty hard to be-
lieve. but certainly if any crea-.
lures could do it, it would be
the bees. and especially the
wasps. These bigger bees"
if we may so call them, are
tricky customers, and should
be left strictly alone, but they
can be observed carefully and
at some distance, and offer
much entertainment to the
nature minded person.
Sometimes wasps will build
outside windows, and may be
seen easily at close range, as
long as one is sensible enough
to keep the pane closed tightly.
The nestlings will mostly die
in the fall, and the rest Of
them will seek refuge in a
warm place, probably your
attic, whence they will emerge
next spring to start a new
nest.
Bees and wasps are con-
structive. if nothing else; but
they also are interesting, and
beautiful in their way. The
Idea they represent is one Of
natures original ideas. Let us
respect it even If we don't
like it.

menting penal Servitude or
servitude in a prison. At that
time, the suggestion received
some publicity, especially over
the radio here in Washington.
The savings to the State and
the value in acclimating pris-
oners to a gradual return to
normal society we're empha-
sized.
Actually, the plan was first
put into operation in Ireland
100 years ago under the So
called Irish System" in which
imprisonment, the "interme-
date plan," and parole COM
prised three steps in a most
successful program for han
ding tractable convicts. To-
day. this plan is actually being
tried extensively in Denmark,
France, the Netherlands, Nor
way. Sweden, and to some ex-
tent in Scotland and England.
Recent reports of the United
Nations 1955) describe these
programs of private prere-
lease" in considerable detail,
May I compliment The Star
for presenting so forward look
ing concept of dealing with
prisoners? The entire trend in
modern corrections, as shown
in the most successful pro-
grams in many American
States and in foreign coun-
tries, is away from the mas
Sive, monaStic, monolithic,
monumental monStroSities that
have been characteristic of
many State prisons. And in
favor of bringing the commu-
nifty into more normal relations
with prisoners, as was once
the program at the State
Prison Colony at Norfolk,
Mass, and of bringing the
prisoners into more nor
NAL relations with the commu-
nifty, as is possible under the
Huber Law, the birmingham
plan of indenture, social servi-
tude, and private prerelease.
BY such means, men and
women who have been unable
to adjust to normal society are
not made more abnormal by
imprisonment in steel monkey
cages. but are taught how to
adjust to community living,
first within prison walls and
then in the community itself.
If the plan works in Wiscon-
sin and Massachusetts, and at
least seven European nations,
it might be worthwhile for Mr..
Clemmer's new research COM
mittee to consider it for the
District of Columbia.

View of Hiqh Bench

Inc supreme Court de-
segregation decision points up
a crisis in government. The
continued infiltration of the
Supreme Court by extreme lib
erals and internationaliSts has
led to the accepted practice
of amending the Constitution
through court decisions rather
than through proper constitu-
tional procedure. With the
appointment of Chief Justice
Warren there appears no
abatement in this unconstitu-
tional process.
Interpretation of the Con-
stitution lies, not alone in the
language used, but in the in
tent of the signatories. Rec
ognizing the effect of chang
ing times. the trainers of the
Constitution provided a way to
amend the Constitution. ANY
purpose to usurp that provision
through arbitrary court de-
cision attacks the integrity of
the Constitution and is a
threat to the liberties of the
people.
A study Of the Sources of
the Constitution" and the dis
cussions contemporary with its
adoption as published in the
"Federalist and Constitutional
Papers" clearly shows the pur-
poses Of the document. Not in
the remotest fashion was seq
regation considered contrary to
the Constitution or its amend
ments. Segregation was and is
an accepted means Of regulat-
ing the relationship between
tw wholly incompatible
groups. The Fourteenth
Amendment. upon which the
decision was based, had no
such thought or purpose in
mind. 1t was ratified over
three-fourths Of a century ago.
If there had been the faintest
notion Of the sort. it would
have become a question con-
temporary Of the time. 1t was
ratified even by the Southern
States themselves.

Uncle Sans Foreign Serv-
ice--the foreign service arm
Of the State Department-has
made important strides toward
a goal of $500 Foreign Service
officers during the last two
years. This has been accom-
plished with painstaking care
through integration of COM
petent State Department civil
service officers with the For
eign Service and through inn
proved and broadened recruit
ment methods. The program
grew out of the Secretary Of
States Public Committee on
Personnel, headed by DR..
Henry M. Wriston. then presi-
dent Of Brown University. It
has been carried forward with
the sympathetic interest and
legislative aid of Congress.
More than $500 officer po-
sitions in Washington and
the United States missions
abroad have been designated
as Foreign Service positions.
Almost two-thirds of these are
now filled by Foreign Service,
as compared to 1926 when the
program was initiated.
The Foreign Service is a
hard working corps. highly
trained for diplomacy. capa-
BILE of dealing both with the
problems of foreign politics
and of economics, foreign and
domestic. 1t differs from the
civil service in the State De-
paPtment in that its officers
are at all times available for
foreign service-no matter how
remote.
The Importance of this force
becomes all the greater in the
light Of the shift in tactics of
the Communist countries to
the economic field. The future
Of the United States and of
the free peoples all over the
world is becoming increasingly
dependent on the skill and
ability of those who work in
the State Department and the
missions, now more numerous
than ever before.
Foreign Service officers must
man So embassies, 9 legations
and 167 consulates in 105
countries. If and when the
Iron Curtain is lifted, the de-
mands for additional person
mel will increase.
Not only have there been
strides in personnel of the
Foreign Service, but the morale
of the service and of the whole
State Department is on the up
and up-morale that suffered
during the Mccarthy investi-
cations. Also. the recruitment
of the best and most efficient
of the graduates of colleges
and universities in this coun-
try has gained, with a changed
attitude toward the State De-
partment on the campuses.
The department is making in
tensive efforts to establish
close relationships with the
colleges and universities. Its
success is shown by the fact

the overflow Of valuable reference ma
terials to a frame barracks, where they
would be subject to FIRE hazards. This
would have been disgraceful way to
treat records which are irreplaceable and,
in many cases, not duplicated anywhere
in the world. We hope the House will join
with the Senate in the move to give the
library new name, new home and a
prestige commensurate with its impor-
lance in the field of public health.

Bees ana WaSpS are always

look too closely at the sting

Both bees and waSps have
their own peculiar ways of re-
polling aggressors, known to
millions of persons the world
around.
The bee sting is a terrible
weapon against some humans.
They will die in 10 minutes
unless they get the right sort
of serum.
Most of us have no such
trouble. We take our bee and
wasp stings as they come, wash
the place at once, and flood it
with ammonia, and there you
are.
1t is best, however, to watch
these curious types of insects
at not too close a range. and
to avoid being stung. If this
is at all possible, and mostly
it is.

The queen is developed by

Modern science has investi-

nothing in this vitamin to ac-

Efforts to put this royal

Huber Law

AOuA oCAACo, Law III Tie
News" by Messrs. Yeager and
Stark, interests me, particu-
larry the recent article on
Wisconsin'S Huber Law"
which permits certain persons
serving jail terms to retain
their jobs, being released to
work during the day and re-
turning to Jail after work and
staying there over week ends.
In operation in Wisconsin
since 1913, this law provides
that a prisoner who is not an
habitual criminal or prone to
commit serious crime share
his earnings equitably between
his family and the Jail, thus
relieving the family of undue
hardship and at the same time
reducing the Jail costs.
A similar experiment was
conducted around 1912 by a
Jailer in Manchester, N. H.,
and received considerable
publicity at that time. How
ever, the principle behind the
Huber Law is far more signif-
lcant than merely as applied
TO DRINKS or nonsupport cases
in Wisconsin, or to accidental
offenders as cited by your ar
ticle. 1t goes back to the
Irish System" advocated by
Crofton and Jebb 100 years
ago, and has been applied to
women prisoners for many
years by DR.. Miriam Van
Waters at the Reformatory

law.

HOLLYWOOD. Television's most famous
parents, Ozzie and Harriet Nelson, believe that
the so-called teen-age problem has been highly
exaggerated.
They don't pretend to be psychological ex
perts on the subject, but they do have two teen
age boys, SO at least they can speak from ex-
perience.
Behind the scenes of their ABC-TV series
which OF course is played for comedy, the Nell
