Busy SiqnoI

Man has devised and practiced
excruciating inhumanitieS toward his
fellow man through our recorded his
tory. But his capacity for sentiment
and gentleness also occasionally comes
to light. On such occasions, this
troubled world Of ours seems better
place in which to live. A little part of
the world is better today, for example,
out by the Naval Ordnance Laboratory
at White Oak, Maryland, because the
workers and "big business" (The Ches-
apeake and Potomac Telephone Com
pany) have seen fit to join in kindness
to one small robin.
In recent weeks, MRS. Bird" decided
to set up housekeeping and family
raising atop the coin telephone in an
outside booth. There was business as
usual during the nest-building and
egg-laying, but, when the time for
Matching came, greater quiet was
prescribed. The company has installed
temporary telephone box on an
adjacent pole. The booth is Mrs. Birds
castle-a maternity ward of notable
distinction. We hope it turns out to
be fine family - kindly disposed
toward mankind.

Special Treatment

AS School Superintendent Hansen
has pointed out, the revised formula
for District participation in the Federal
aid-to-education bill, proposed by SEN
ator Clark and approved by the Senate,
would lend much-needed assist to
the tagging program of school con-
Struction in Washington. AS usual, the
regular school budget request is in
jeopardy again this year because of
the general precariousneSS of District
fiscal affairs. And over the next six
years minimum of $43 million in
construction funds should be spent
just to keep pace with school needs here
AS urgent as the need is, however,
the justification for the Clark formula
should rest not on this, but on the
equity of the Districts position in
relation to the States.
During the long Senate debate on
the issue, Senator Goldwater missed
the point when he said he could not
buy the argument that the District
must receive special treatment" OF
course it must receive special treat
ment." For the District is not State,
and how else is it possible for Congress,
in writing national legislation, to
equate the many conditions which
make Washington as city so different
from the States? Congress, of course,
has recognized and applied this prin-
ciple many times in the past.
Under the formula favored by SEN
ator Goldwater, the District would have
been penalized with an unfairly small
ALLEGATION of aid because of several
comparative factors, one of which
involved WaShington's relatively high
per capita income. AS was emphasized
during the debate, however, many
higher -Salaried employees for one reason
or another pay few taxes to the District,
severely reducing the validity of this
particular comparative table. On the
other hand local school expenditures
(another factor in the formula) have
been held to an unrealistically. low
level in Washington, due to the nom
availability of funds.
The provision of the Clark amend
ment which fixes the District ratio of
aid at the median provided for all
States seems to be a fair compromise.
WaShingtonians do not expect handout
in this matter. But neither should
they be Shortchanged.

Gods Businessman

Those in industry and in the church
who have called Robert G. LeTourneau
Gods businessman" intended no irrev-
erence. For the 72-year-old manufac-
turer Of heavy earth-moving equipment
is known around the world, both for his
huge machines and his support of
missionaries engaged in spreading the
gospel to all peoples. 1t is appropriate,
therefore, that he is being honored for
his good works in both the material
and spiritual fields.
A native Of Vermont turned Texan,
Mr.. LeTourneau began building tractors
and other machinery in a small garage
during World War I. Not content with
conventional designs, he experimental
with improved types of bulldozerS,
ditcherS and power shovels to do special
jobs. AS his business increased, so did
his factories, until now there are
branches in scattered portions of the
globe. During World War II LeTourneau
machines played an important part in
clearing jungleS and building airstrips
on far Pacific islands
But only a small percentage of the
profits of his multimillion- dollar buSi-
ness have gone into Mr.. LeTourneauS
pockets. 1t has been reported that
about 80 per cent of all his profits have
gone to the Christian and Missionary
Alliance, nondenominational organi--
zation which supports missionaries in
many lands. This is the man, therefore
who has been cited as 'lay churchman
of the year" and who, in addition, will
receive this year awards by three
engineering societies for distinguished
service in machine design and ingenuity
in engineering. From the record, he
we'll deserves these honors.

Northern Virginia legislators have
made persuasive plea for State
financed mental hospital to serve the
nearby counties and towns. There is
a growing need for such an institution
in the area. 1t would not only be a
haven for bewildered souls but would
help to restore them to normal lives
as useful members of the community
An investment for such humanitarian
purpose certainly would be we'll worth

In RebuttoI on Isroers Trial of Eichmonn

In his letter Of May l8, on
the Eichmann trial, William
Spencer charges me with
errors of fact" and mis-
interpretations of interna-
tional law" Then he offers
his personal opinions, unsup-
ported by evidence. as sub
stitutes for the hard facts of
international relations and
the realities Of international
law; he makes irrelevant
straw-man use of the Scotia
case. even though Israel's
chief prosecutor never even
made reference to it.
I am not an authority on
international law, and in my
Star article Of April %, which
stressed the moral and his
toric significance of the
Eichmann trial, I gave only
a parenthetic summary of
the legal aspects, without any
Recommendation. I shall now
cite some authorities and
Recommendations.
Mr.. Spencer stated "other
nations would certainly
be interested in trying Eich-
mann" No nation has said
so. And West Germany has
stated precisely the reverse.
Hans Starcken, representative
of West Germany's press
office at the trial in Jerusa-
lem, recently made this
official statement: "The West
German government will stick
by its refusal to ask for
Adolf Eichmann's extradi-
tion."
Mr.. Spencer imagines that
the U. N. could have played
a role in the trial, and offers
the self-assured opinion that
1T would be perfectly possible
to establish an ad hoe tri-
bunal" for such a trial. His
claim that many interna-
tional lawyers, jurists, and
statesmen" would favor the
latter action is completely
beside the point. 1t is the
wishes Of the nations in the
U. N. that are decisive here,
rather than the inclination
Of Mr.. Spencer's hypothetical
and unnamed persons. The
fact is that the U. N. Security
Council debated the whole
matter last June and laid
down that "Eichmann should
be brought to appropriate
justice for the crimes Of
which he is accused" without
either proposing any alterna-
tive to the trial in Israel, or
expressing any doubts con-
corning it.
On the other hand, the
U. N. has repeatedly turned
down proposals, most recently
in 1854, to establish an in
ternational criminal court
which could deal with pre-
cisely this type of case. This

Folly of Disormino

The article by Mr.. Frye
in your Sunday editorial sec
tion reports an effort to as
Semble many of the best
brains Of our country to work
out better ways to disarm.
Such an effort raises an
other question. Why is not
more effort placed upon solv-
ing the problems posed by
the continuing aggreSsiveness
Of Communists around the
world?
Their aggreSsiveneSs
aimed at the destruction of
all religions, of all free demo-
cratic institutions, and of all
individual life independent of
state control, and backed by
the might of the Soviet Union
is the only reason that to-
day we find ourselves armed
to the teeth.
The United States disarmed
voluntarily. unilaterally, and
quite hopefully Immediately
after World War II only to
discover that such action in
vited defeat, not victory; in
creasing world tensions, not
peace.
So at tremendous cost we
have rearmed to counter-bal
ance the tremendous forces Of
the Soviet Union, Peoples
China. and others of the bloc
countries. Now, to disarm
before some workable strategy
can be developed to defeat
Communist aggressions would
appear to be folly of the
highest order.

Fairfax Hospital will be provided at no
cost to the State and that the institution
would be self-supporting, once 1t is
established. A 1OO-bed hospital costing
about 100000 is contemplated.
The nearest State mental hospital
now is at Staunton. Establishment of
a new hospital in the rapidly developing
Northern Virginia area would tend to
relieve demands on the Staunton center,
while providing convenient treatment
facilities for mentally disturbed resi-
dents of the communities near Wash
ington. Virginia can ill afford to
neglect the needs of these unfortunate
citizens.

a little book on my shelves
entitled Mainline" which
he wrote in 1858. Senator
Malone's first and last para
graphs are most meaningful
to America today and
always:
For five generations, con-
troverSy was the very intel
lectual lifeblood Of our Ma
ton. No great issue faced
our people-not a one-but
which had its advocates, and
its opponents. Editors, writ
ers, journalists, men in pub
lie affairs, citizens: all freely
expressed their views. They
pulled no punches. They said
what they meant, and they
meant what they said. People
read and listened to argu-
ments on both sides and
finally. in their wisdom, the
people decided the matter.
The course is clearly
markedly the Declaration
of independence, its COM
pass and by our matchless
Constitution and Bill of
Rights. its chart. This is
Americas Mainline"
In between these two par
agraphs. lies a host of evi-
dence. statistics. attesting to
our gross inattention TO the
basic economic forces of
waste that rampage our land
and the world.
In passing, George Wilson
Malone pointed again to
some jobs we must see done.

Prince Edward Schools

If this administration feels
justified in gagging anti
Communist statements by such
highly responsible officials as
Admiral Arleigh Burke, surely
it should not condone state
ments such as made by the
newly appointed administra-
ton official, Oliver Hill,
former' NAACP official. This
young Frontiersman publicly
likened the actions of the
white residents of Prince
Edward County to the "ln-
human crimes of Nazi Adolf
Eichmann."
Dictatorship" seems to be
exactly what the people of
that tiny county are opposing.
And certainly. for our At
torney General to attempt,
without benefit of law but by
Federal decree, to deprive
Virginia's entire BAT 900 white
and Negro public school stu
dents of education in an
attempt to force one small
county to surrender its posi-
tion on a principle which it
so obviously believes to be
right. may be a dangerous
step in that direction. The
issue at stake is whether
Virginia'S State funds may be
used as tuition grants to all
parents, irrespective Of race,
color or creed, so that parents
may send their children to
private schools If they so
desire. This gives parents a
freedom Of choice. How can
this possibly be declared "un-
constitutional" when Congress
did much the same thing in
the G1 school bill? These
young men used the money
to attend whatever school
they desired.

would be, a fortiori, true of
an ad hoe tribunal, which
would only be misused by the
Soviet Union as a platform
for eXacerbation of the cold
war. This point was recently
made by Prof. Milton Katz,
Professor of International
Law at Harvard New Jersey
Law journal and The Har-
ward Law Recorder).
Israels chief prosecutor
never eQuated the question
or jurisdiction over Eichmann
with questions of universal
jurisdiction, and never even
mentioned the Scotia case.
But among the precedentS
he did rely on was a decision
by a United States military
tribunal, composed of three
United States judges, who
quoted by joint agreement a
ruling laid down by an emf
nent British jurist, Lord
Wright, as follows: "As to
the punishment of persons
guilty of violating the laws
and customs of war, it has
always been recognized that
tribunals may be established
and punishment imposed by
the state into whose hands
the perpetrators fall" Pro-
fessor Milton Katz of Har-
ward states that there is
a body Of precedent which
goes back to at least the 18th
century, to the effect that
certain crimes recognized
and called war crimes. may
be punished by any state
anywhere at any time" The
question of jurisdiction in
volved here concerns war
crimes and crimes against
humanity. on which there
are established principles and
precedents.
On Israel's right as sue
essor to the British Man.
dated Territory in Palestine,
Stanley D. Metzger, Profess
sor Of Law at the George
town University Law Center,
stated last February on a
TV program:
&c. just as New York is
a part of the United States.
just as Ontario is a part of
Canada and can try people
for offenses of this kind. so
Israel, which was a recognized
geographical entity as the
Mandated Territory of Pal
estine, can try him"
The same point was made
by Justice Michael A. Mus
manno of the Supreme Court
of PENNSYLVANIA. and a nre-
siding Judge in one of the
Nuremberg tribunals, in the
Pittsburgh Catholic" last
March.
Mr.. Spencer reiterates that
Israel acted unilaterally" in
