High Court
Hits FBI on
'EusyArrest'

"It is better, so the Fourth
Amendment teaches us, that
the guilty sometimes go free
than that citizens be subject to
easy arrest"
With these words. the Su-
preme Court chided the FBI to-
day for arresting a man for
stealing radios when agents
were out looking for someone
who had been stealing whisky.
The high court, in a 7-2 deciS-
ion, reversed the conviction of
the defendant, John Patrick
Henry, who was arrested with
a companion in Chicago.
Two FBI agents were investi-
eating a theft from an inter-
state shipment of whisky at
a Chicago terminal when they
noticed two men loading car
tons into car.
They knew nothing about
Henry, but had some reason to
suspect his companion in the
whisky theft.
They found stolen radios af-
ter stopping the car. and the
two were placed under arrest.
Speaking for the majority
Justice Douglas said it was
doubtful that prudent" officers
could have seen enough to be-
lieve there had been a violation
of the law.
Chief Justice Warren anc
Justice Clark disagreed. De-
livering the dissent, Justice
Clark said:
1T is only by such alertnesS
that crime is discovered, inter.
rupted, prevented, and punish,
ed. We should not place addi'
tional burdens on law enforce
lment agencies"

Food for Thought

In these days of widespread view
ing with alarm, it is timely that an
authority on CONTEMPLATION James A.
Beard-haS raised his voice eloquently
against "the decline and pail of the
American palate" Just by comparison,
Mr. Beard says somewhat Sniff1ly, This
Nation Is more interested in preserving
the whooping crane and the buffalo
than in preserving classic cookery and
improving standards of table service"
Without joining Mr.. Beard in his
implied downgrading of the whooping
crane and the buffalo, one might still
share his view that there is a dimin-
iShing interest in great cuisine in the
French tradition. There are, of course,
numerous contributory reasons. Fine
French chefs, for example, are not flock
ing to the new world" in the same
numbers they once did, and many who
are here complain that both American
and European traineeS lack the pa
thence to learn the SkillS artfully. Cost
factors in the kitchens have diScour-
aged the use of gourmet ingredients in
all but the most expensive restaurants.
But perhaps the greatest trouble is
the American diner himself-uSually a
meat and potato" man in hurry, wary
of unusual dishes and impervious to the
Subtleties of delicate f1avors.
So it is, even if unfortunately, that
Mr.. Beard is not likely to change the
cooking and eating habits of 20th-cen-
fury America-and he probably has
made no friends among the lovers of

Flying Hiqh

The State Department is said to be
"dismayed' at the critical British press
reaction to our ipsiStence upon flying
into Berlin at attitudes above 10000 feet.
But it doesn't seem to us that there is
any occasion for dismay on this score.
Two reasons have been advanced
for flying above the 10000-foot ceiling
which formerly had prevailed as mat
ter of practice. One is that we have a
fright" to fly in at any altitude. This is
true, and the right" should be and has
been established. The other is that our
new C-130 planes operate more eff
GENTLY at higher attitudes. This also I'M
doubtedly is true, but it doesn't strike us
as being a compelling reason for making
the 110-mile last leg of the fight into
Berlin at attitudes which could lead to
an incident" on the eve of the East
West talks.
The State Department spokesman
said, however, that the decision to ny
high was a considered one, agreed to
and approved by all levels and elements
of the United States Government" This
suggests that much thought went into
this matter and that there are Substan-
tial reasons for the decision. II this is
correct, if there are any reasons for the
high flying in addition to those which
have been publicly proclaimed, this
would be good time to set them forth.

note that resistance to race

The rightneSS or wrongness

The fact remains that the

Thus the suppression of the

The Steelworkers of Amer
lea proposed that the steel
industry freeze prices for the
term of the next contract
with the union in order to
help economic stability"
The union further stated that
even if steel should agree to
freeze prices, the union would
insist on higher wages and
other benefits.
Does that make sense?
Higher prices are caused by
higher wages or increased
cost of production. The I'M
ion probably recalls the time
Mr.. Truman told steel to give
labor more money and keep
their prices the same. An
important suggestion to the
steel industry is that they
tell the union in no uncertain
terms that they will be very
glad to consider freezing
prices If the union will not
demand an increase in wages.
