Lessoash Morality
Should ETC hmo ann
BeShown Mercy?
By RABBI I, MOsHE TuTNAUER.

By RABBI MOSHE TUTNAUER
Judge Moshe Landau has justi-
fled the death sentence for Adolph
Eichmann oh the grounds that 1T
would deter others and that it was
the only proper punishment for his
horrible crimes. 1t seems to me
that neither of his reasons is Valld.
Reams Of documentary evidence
seem to prove conclusively that the
death sentence is not an effective
deterrent. Several states in t n e
United states and many countries
abroad. including Israel, have abol-
ished it.. Statistics show no increase
in the Number of murders. Most
people murder out of passion or
with the conviction that they Will
escape punishment. The idea of
capture and trial seldom enters
their mind; therefore, the nature OF
the punishment is almost irrele-
want and has little value as de-
torrent.
A CURSORY glance at the news
papers will show that Eichmann' S
sentence has not silenced Rock
well and his American Nazis, nor
has it changed the attitudes of
those who believe that the Jewish
people constitute a menace to so
ciety. Unfortunately, these people
are blinded by hatred and nothing
Israel does to Eichmann will
change their attitudes.
The second justification for his
execution is the desire to mete out
proper punishment. What punish
ment is proper for one guilty of
his atrocities? Shall we drive him
to the brink of starvation, tn n
strip him naked and watch with
glee as the gas causes him to claw
holes in the ceiling? Win this purge
him-and the world; and will this
relieve the conscience of mankind
How foolish to think that any
punishment is proper for this
man! And how foolish to think
that the death penalty is proper
punishment for any man who has

Unity and Mr.. Tshombe

President Noise Tshombe will be
serving his own best interests and the
best interests of his seceSsionist Ka-
tanga Province if he follows the counsel
just offered to him, in formal memo
randum, by the governments Of Bel
gium, Britain and the United States
The counsel is simply this: That
Mr.. TShombe agree to the plan proposed
by United Nations Acting Secretary
General U Thant for a national recon-
ciliation to reunite the divided Congo.
Among other things, the plan would
have Katanga'S government in Eliza
bethSville Immediately start sharing so
per cent of its mineral revenues with
Premier Adoula'S central" government
in Leopoldville sharing that must
take place If the overall CongoleSe
economy is to acquire strength and
stability.
In addition, the plan calls for the
merger of Katanga'S armed forces with
those controlled by the Adoula govern
ment; and it calls further-and this is
its most important part-for the early
drafting and adoption of new federal
constitution. The constitution would
embody principles that Mr.. Tshombe
himself has long advocated-principle
that would leave Katanga with large
measure Of self-rule within a kind of
confederation of states that would op-
crate as unit, through Leopoldville, in
conducting foreign policy and carrying
out joint projects designed to promote
economic, political and social progress.
The three-power memoran dunn
makes clear to Mr.. TShombe that Bel
GUM, Britain and the United States,
along with Italy and West Germany,
fully support these proposals as being
capable of allowing the reconciliation
Of legitimate regional interests with
those Of modern federal government.
They also seem to be in conformity with
the statements that you yourself have
made public repeatedly" And the mem
orandum goes on to affirm that Mr..
TShombes prompt acceptance of the
plan =. will constitute an act of wise
policy" that will permit our govern
ments to work with all the peoples of
the Congo in order to reconstruct a
strong economy and raise the standard
OF living Of the population"
This is sound advice. Speaking as a
newspaper which has opposed coercion
of Katanga, we hope Mr.. Tshombe will
heed it.

it flew Soblen anywhere it
would be back to Israel.
Deportation Ordered
Finally the British govern
ment, under strong pressure
from Washington, grasped
the nettle and ordered Soblen
deported to New York.
Though in Britain, also, es-
pionage is not an extraditable
crime, it was argued that 1t
lay within the authority Of
the Home Secretary to name
the country of destination of
q person being deported. The
courts, in a series of hearings
lasting more than nine weeks.
have refused to reverse this
ruling.
It is understandable enough
that the British authorities
should have been anxious to
rid themselves Of q disagree
able problem without Offend
ing the United States. What
is less clear is how American
interests either at home or
abroad will be served by Sob
lens return or the insistent
demands for his surrender.
There are many who will
wonder what real difference
it makes whether this wretch
ed, dying man spends the rest
Of his days in Sing Sing at
the expense of the American
taxpayers or in Czechoslova-
kia at the expense of his
Communist friends. Retribu-
ton, perhaps, Is an important
element in the American
system Of justice. But in this
case, it is hard to see that
either the American image

President NaSser of the United Arab
Republic-which actually has been dis
united since Syria's secession last year
has suffered another setback in his
drive to unity the MoSlem Middle East
under his leadership. The blow has
been delivered by the Kings of Saudi
Arabia and Jordan-Saud and HuSSein,
both Of whom are strongly anti
Communist and on the side of the West.
Summed up with some oversimplifi-
cation, what the two monarchS have
agreed to is this: ~ A merger of their
military forces under single command,
(2) measures to coordinate their eco
nomic policies, and (3) close co-opera-
ton in all matters having to do with
international affairs, especially as they
may bear upon the Arab world and its
refusal to recognize the existence of
Israel. AS to the latter, King Saud and
King Hussein have given voice to what
has become rather hackneyed line of
MoSlem propaganda - namely, that
sacred Arab rights" in Palestine must
be restored "at all costs" which presum-
ably means that kind of holy war must
be waged, sooner or later, against the
ISraelis.
However, the primary interest of
the two kings appears to be the ad-
vancement Of their own countries
through cooperation. Quite obviously
they do not like President NasSer, but
they share his anti-Israel views. What
remains to be seen is whether this con-
stitutes genuine split among the Arab
lands. There is some reason to think
that it does, and Mr.. Nasser has reason
to worry accordingly.

Who's to MANAGE?

One of the Oldest labor-manage-
ment disputes in the railroad industry
has brought transport strike Of near
paralyzing effect to nine States Of the
Midwest. Striking against the Chicago
and North Western Railway, one Of the
Nations biggest commuter and freight
carriers, are approximately 1000 mem
bers of the Order of Railroad Teleg-
raphers. Honoring the picket lines are
more than 10000 other union workers
on the road. Operations have been at a
complete standstill since last Thursday,
with Federal mediation, officials at
tempting to break the impasse.
The issue, specifically, is one of job
Security-repreSented in two demands
by the telegraphers' union. One is that
none Of its members be dismissed from
employment without union-manage-
ment negotiation. The other is that this
be retroactive to 1857 even though the
road since that date has laid off about
500 telegraphers whose function has
been eliminated by chronological i'm
provements in railroad communications.
The carriers answer is that the union
conditions would amount to a veto
power over nnanagement's right to man
age and would prevent the economies
and better service which result from
chronological developments.
Within recent years, several Pres
idential fact-finding panels have held
in comparable cases that the union de-
mandS are unreasonable. Only last week,
one emergency board described similar
telegraphers' proposals to the New York
Central as an absolute veto power over
proper managerial functions" while
suggesting that there should be labor
management consultation on job elimi-
nations and that there should be liberal
separation allowances. In another case,
the Southern Pacific and the union
agreed to arbitration on job eliminations
with per cent per year limitation on
such diSmiSsalS.
Either or both Of these seem to be
reasonable compromises - protecting,
from the management standpoint, its
essential right to manage, and providing
for the workers, guarantees that they
will not be dismissed Summarily or with
out fair separation allowance. 1t is
hard to believe that either the North
Western or the telegraphers' union will
refuse Indefinitely, at great cost to
themselves and to the area they serve,
to accept some such reasonable formula.

The Dropouts

In few places does neglect of the
Districts school system or the imper-
viousness of some juveniles to education
recruiting stations. There, prospective
enlisteeS are given simple, standard
aptitude test, with mere 81 per cent
the minimum passing score. "For every
six men who come in, we might send
about one up to the Armed Forces
Examination Center in Baltimore. OF
those sent up there, we might accept
one out Of two. Sickening, isn't it?"
said the officer in charge of the center,
which screens prospects for all four
services.
Another officer reported, for ex-
ample, that almost a third of Navy
prospects who took the initial test last
month flunked. The great majority Of
the flunkers at all stations are boys who
have dropped out Of school. In addi-
ton, a substantial number who funk
suffer from the same alarming def
cheney as the dropoutS-they cannot
read or sufficiently comprehend the
test questions put before them. The at
triton rate nationally runs as high as
40 and even so per cent in some areas.
It's sickening, all right. 1t teStifies
not only to neglect of education, but
to serious shortage of people trainable
in the technical SkillS which the Ma
tons defense requires today. The
Armed Services do not welcome the
unskilled dropout any more warmly
than the civilian labor market. Re-
cruiters are under orders to try the
first remedy-to persuade boys to stay
in school.
The District system must have the
money for additional teachers and
counselorS to help stem the drop-out
flow, which last year amounted to
1900 boys and girls. The District Gov
ernment and Congress also must see
to it that the schools get the necessary
funds to expand and consolidate frag-
mented programs for training the po-
tential or actual dropout in market
able vocational skill.
