Risky Apathy

With plenty OF Salk vaccine now
available, 1t is surprising and disturb
ing to learn that many residents of the
Washington area have neglected to take
advantage Of the immunizing shots that
have proved so effective against paralytic
polio. Health Director Finucane has re-
ported that only one out Of four persons
under 40 in Washington has received the
three-shot series regarded as necessary
to insure 30 per cent protection against
the disease. Yet persons under 40 are
in the age group most likely to be hit II
the disease should invade the city during
the coming peak season for polio.
The Health Department and the
District Medical Society are justified,
therefore, in launching what they de-
scribe as an about campaign to inocu-
late every citizen under 40 before the
danger season arrives. Special efforts
will be made to impress upon the public
the importance of minimizing infants
and children Of preschool age. For chill

Steel Story

A news item reports that steel pro-
duction this week is down to a little
more than so per cent Of the industry's
rated capacity for 1858. And this, in
turn, makes one wonder whether any
man really knows where the American
economy stands or where 1t is going.
Nine years ago, in his state-of-the-
Union message, Mr.. Truman created
quite a stir with a novel proposal He
was worried about the sufficiency Of
materials ain critically short supply,
such as steel" And he suggested that
it might be good idea for Congress
to authorize the Government to build
new steel plants II private industry
failed to meet the country's needs.
Fortunately, nothing came Of this
proposal. 1t died a quiet death, and
that is blessing. With the private
steel industry operating at about one
half capacity, what would we do now
with an array of Government-built and
Government-owned steel mills?

A Crowninu Glory

In this day Of multicolored auto
mobiles, plumbing, telephones, etc., 1t
seems quite logical that British mayors
should tire Of wearing only black hats.
But It would be too much to expect that
mere male mayor would possess the
daring needed to break with tradition.
Not so, however. with female mayors,
and Mrs. Mae Bamber has proved again
that the ladies are the true pioneers
in political as well as other fashions.
Mrs. Bamber is the lady Mayor Of
Southport, England, and when she
arrived for a visit in America she
brought set Of rainbow-hued mayoral
tricorne hats ranging from beige to
peacock blue with suits to match). AL
ready accepted in Southport, Mrs. Bam-
ber's taste In mayoral dress was quickly
approved in New York. It is scheduled
for Washington showing" today. OF
her hats, Mayor Bamber explains they
"have done something for the town
(Southport). hope they do something
for me-"
Well, they have at least gotten Mrs.
Bamber and Southport some publicity.
And the chances are that Mrs. Bamber
will have the Southport voters sum-
GENTLY bedazzled at the next election
to return her to office. At this point,
nothing sounds duller than q mayor
with q black hat. =

Another Mallory

The mallory SITUATION Is gettlng
little complicated. For the record, the
Supreme Court, in the case of Andrew
Mallory, guilty Of rape, threw out con-
fession which had been the principal
item Of evidence against him. The court
held that Andrew Mallory had not been
arraigned without unnecessary delay"
as required by Federal Rule S (a). He
had been held for TIA hours.
Now a three-judge panel Of the
Court of Appeals has split in interpret
ing the meaning of the Supreme Courts
ruling. The case before these judges
concerned nephew, Milton Leo Mallory,
convicted of sex offense involving an
eight-year-ol girl. His conviction also
rested largely on confession, obtained
with little questioning but after he had
been held for about Is hours without
arraignment.
Judge Prettyman, speaking for the
majority, said that the use of the con-
fession, under the circumstances Of this
case, did not violate the original Mallory
ruling. Judge Bazelon, dissenting, said
It is beyond question" that the police
violated Rule S in the nephew's case.
So there the matter stands. II
nothing else, this latest ruling shows
that the original Mallory decision is con-
fusing and its meaning unclear. Perhaps
this second Mallory case will serve as a
vehicle for Qualification by the Supreme
Court, assuming that it is appealed.

X. D. vass

In a letter on March 8 to
the Republican leadership in
Congress the President made
some brave and sound sug-
gestions for stopping the re-
cession and said that the
function Of the Government
must necessarily be to slim
ulate private production and
employment" not to extend
public domination over pri-
vate activity"
Such expressions have be-
come rather shop-worn plat
itudes over the past five
years and 1t was no surprise
when on March "a I read
the headline In The Star:
united States Opens Super
market for ONCE Supplies
Here" Among other real bar
gains they have 20-cent flash
light batteries for only 5 cents
and a SO dictionary for only
$3.50. At such cutthroat
prices. 1t is only a question Of
time before the small mer-
chants of washington will no
longer be able to survive this
public domination over priv
ate activity" and must wend
their ways to the bankruptcy
courts.
Why Is II that so often Mr..
Eisenhower's brave, sound
words are not confirmed by
equally brave. sound acts2 II
he had only practiced what
he breaches there would have

Strike Violence

A pattern Of violence bordering on
terrorism has emerged from the McClel-
Ian committees investigation Of the
Kohler strike, and the same thing will
emerge from its study Of the strike at
the Perfect Circle piston plant in In
diana.
The union (UAW) blames manage
ment; management blames the union.
AS to this, one can listen to the wit
neSseS, pay his money and take his
choice.
Walter Reuther charged that the
Republicans on the Mcclellan commit
tee were "fabricating this theory of vio-
lence" to smear" the union. We do not
think this charge is justified by the
facts Certainly the JAW was response
BILE for the thugs who were sent to the
scene. of the Kohler strike from Detroit.
When one Of them was convicted Of
beating nonStriker and sent to jail,
the union paid his attorney fees, APP
pealed his case and paid his wife 500
week during the 1914 months he spent
in jail The other man, John Gunaca,
brutally beat two nonStrikers and was

get back to Michigan before he was ar
rested, however, and Governor Mennen
Williams, close ally Of the JAW, has
refused to permit him to be extradited
for trial. Gunaca was paid by the union
while in Wisconsin, and he has also had
the benefit of union-paid counsel
These are two examples Of violence
in the Kohler strike for which the union
cannot escape some responsibility. They
are only examples, however, for vio-
lence, especially in the early days, was
the hallmark of both strikes.
Presumably, the Mcclellan commit
tee is going into this question with q
view to proposing stronger legislation to
outlaw violence by either party to a
strike. This is not going to be easy, and
there may be little chance Of getting
any such legislation through Congress.
Nevertheless, the effort should be made.
For the law affords an orderly way Of
settling labor disputes. This being so, it
is outrageous and intolerable when
guns, dynamite and clubs become &C
copied substitutes for law.

ZoIo and Skid Row

We saw the movie Ser
vase" a sordid story depict
ing the social ills centering
around the dram shop" Of
a bygone age. Emile Zola's
harsh realism reached out
through the twisted. sodden
lives Of his characters to
envelope US in an atmos-
phere Of hopelessness. Leav-
ing the theater. it was good
to escape into the crisp night
air and brightly lighted
streets.
I drove my friend to her
apartment situated across
the street. from the Shore
ham Hotel and we sat in the
car talking Of brighter sub
jects. But not for long. Dur
ing the course Of our con-
versation there, q period of
an hour and a half. five
drunken men staggered past
US. one by one. One was
saved from the hazards of
traffic by a helpful citizen
who piloted him across the
street.
These men, unlike the lola
characters. were obviously Of
the upper economic strata Of
our society. Their problems
must be different. But they
are headed down the same
road Of human degradation.
The evenings experience
served to bring into sharp
focus an Ill which has been
lurking in the background Of
consciousness for a long time.
How representative was it?
I can't be sure. But as I as
sess the accumulated evid-
ence, I am sure that I have
been blinking a nationwide
situation which should top
the lists Of preventive actions
needed.
I know something Of the
public and private efforts be-
ing made to remedy alcohol
ism. But where can one join
forces with others who recog-
nize the urgency Of a strong
preventive effort2

I have been reading a great
deal about the plight Of the
railroads and my heart really
bleeds for them, as well as
for the automobile industry.
Years ago the railroads
used to run excursions to New
York. Philadelphia and
Atlantic City at a very
nominal fare within the poe
textbook Of everyone. I have
made many such excursions
on both the Pennsy and B8sO
and sometimes they had to
put on extra trains in order
to accommodate people. Then
came the buses and cut into
their revenue. Instead Of
meeting the rates Of the bus
companies. they raised their
fares and passenger revenues
dropped. I can't get their
lire Of reasoning. Since they
have to run the trains re-
gardless Of how many pas
sengers they have. I would
think that lowering the fares
to attract more passengers
would increase their take"
and enable them to keep en-
ployes instead of cutting per-
sonnet.
The same applies to autos.
Someone In Detroit got the
bright idea Of making cars
longer, wider and with more
horsepower. Smart Euro
peans saw the fallacies Of this
and now the market Is
flooded with small cars,
which are cheaper to run.
easier to park and Just as
fast as the law allows. Now
the bright boys are stuck
with these monstrosities they
have dreamed up and now
comes the big layoff. The

thize with are the poor work.

Overproduction

There is q tide in the af-

have added, But this tide. II
too far trusted, may lead to
wreckage." Or, II he we're
writing today. he would. in
stead Of the word tide"
make use Of the current
economic phrase upward
spiral"
Many reasons have been
adduced for our current re-
cession. But they all can be
reduced to q single factor
carrying production beyond
the means or appetite for
consumption. Producers Of
manufactured goods have no
more desire than farmers. 1t
seems, to curtail production
in good times. Our Govern
ment has tried with partial
success several methods for
preventing overproduction in
agriculture. But no meth
DDS have yet been conceived.
except that OF tightening
credit. for preventing over
production Of manufactured
goods.
And what manufacturer, in
good times. will do anything
else than try to push his
share reproduction and sales
to greater and greater

lieves the upward spiral" to
be his great opportunity to
fortune. And as II the danger
Of overproduction by large
manufacturers Is not enough,
