Progress VS.. Crime

There Ia more reason now to hope
for progress on the Districts vexatious
law enforcement problems than before
the Senate and House District Com
mittees, in laudable spirit Of CO.
operation, got together to talk over
possible remedies.
In addition to entertaining pro-
posals for a wide range of preventive
and corrective measures, legislators on
both sides of the Capitol expressed
particular concern about the adequacy
Of police investigative machinery after
March IS, when arrests for investiga-
ton" no longer will be permitted. And
there also was considerable sentiment
for modification of the Mallory rule,
which now restricts the use of volun-
tary confessions If there has been an
illegal detention of the suspect.
What remains to be worked out are
substitutes which will permit maximum
lawful police activity. It is in this area
that the committees, working together,
can help formulate rules Of arrest and
detention which neither will tie the
hands of the police nor defeat the ends
Of justice.
One plan, pushed by the District
Commissioners, advocates arrests only
for probable cause" This entails the
Intervention Of magistrate who would
inform suspect of his rights before
police could question him for six hours
or less. Police Chief Murray says. this
Is too cumbersome for effective police
work, and recommends arrests of up
to six hours without charge-a form
of the Uniform Arrest Act used in some
States. Critics question whether this
is any more constitutional than the
outlawed arrest for investigation"
Whatever the final answer, 1t is
evident an answer must be Forthcoming,
and 1t is encouraging that Senate and
House are working in close harmony
toward that goal. Whatever form the
legislation takes, it should assure police
Of adequate time to interrogate criminal
suspects, and certify that voluntary
confessions, regardless of when they
are given, will be admissible as evi-
dence. 1t should also be in such form
that 1t can be passed at this session
Of Congress.

Neiqhbors QuorreI

The present situation be-
tween the United States and
Canada brings to mind that
famous toast: Dear Lord,
protect me from my friends:
my enemies ! can take care
Of myself"
I trust Mr.. Rusk can be
proud Of himself today. He
cannot protect himself and
his own country from the
encroachment OF q bitter
and dedicated enemy within
80 miles from his territorial
shores. but he is quite able
TO destroy the government
Of one Of his country's
staunchest and most loyal
allies. and further TO pour
bitter gall upon his victims
wounds by insisting that he
means no harm but cannot
stand idly by" while his ally
avoids the issues OF the day.
1T is a sad indictment on
the character OF American
diplomacy that we cannot
intimidate our enemies. but
always can ALLEVIATE our
friends. Why cannot Mr.. Rusk
show the hardness OF spirit
In the face OF the Russians
In Cuba that he has shown
In the face Of the Canadians
In the practice OF their own
private affairs. Mr.. Rusk
owes q debt 10 history for
which I sympathize with
him: he has insulted. in

Cold Facts of Life

Since The Star published
on January 13, q report Of
Senator Beall's bill to force
homeowners to clean the
snow off the sidewalks in
front of their houses, or be
punished by a fine Of 500, I
have watched for some pro-
test, but have seen none.
! have also seen In The
Star, letters and resolutions
by citizens associations de-
manding that non-shovelers,
If not able to pay the fines,
should be hurled in the clink.
There is a large number Of
potential victims of this
"money-or-your-life" propo-
sition. According to the sta
tistics census, the D. C..
has lost a majority of young,
husky homeowners to the
suburbs, and has a majority
of older people who have
homes, but, in many in
stances, health no longer ro-
bust. Surely they would like to
have clean steps and side
walks, If for no other reason
than to protect themselves
from broken bones. Yet doc
tors have warned many ailing
people against such muscular
jobs as snow shoveling,
which could mean curtains
for them. each winter the
newspapers carry accounts of
heart-attack deaths of snow
shovelers.)
But many neighbors away
from the heart of the city
have no offers of help from
young men with shovels on
their shoulders, as has my
block.
So the alternatives of cem-
etery. Jail or poorhouse seem
unbalanced in their severity.
Senator Beall's bill should in
corporate some constructive
suggestion for the aging
homeowner. For example, ev-
eryone who cannot regularly
clean "his" sidewalk could be
registered in some central
office as desirous of having
the job done for him. Young
unemployed men willing to
earn a few dollars for each
job could be assigned ad-
dresses in their own vicini-
ties, to be cleaned after each
snow.
Or is the real purpose Of
Senator Beall's bill to enable
the relocation people to wrest

a foolish attempt to discount

Its purpose is only to point

There are scarcely any

gument from logic for in

of a railroad spanning the

on the floor Of the United
States Senate.
The realm of faith and
imagination, in which the
word impossible" has been
left out Of the dictionary, is
the land Of dreams brought
to earth by those who have
pressed on past mo tres

insisted that there are limits
to sheer logic. Long ago Pas
cal put his finger upon one
Of the fundamental facts of
human personality when he
declared, THE heart has rea-
sons which the reason does
not know" In the story of
his apostolic life of sacrifi-
cial service, DR.. Grenfell, the
hero Of Labrador, record
more than once in an emer-
gency at ea-I have swiftly
decided upon q certain line
of activity. If I had waited
to ham my logical reasons

ing that course. / should not

One Of the wisest men ]
have ever known as he re-
viewed his own life and stud
led the lives Of many others,
declared: I'VE flatter our
selves that we base our con-
clusions upon logical reasons,
In reality we do nothing of
the kind. The rugged truth
is that we first Of all reach
our conclusions and then we
hasten to tack on q few rea-
sons as a kind Of apology to
ourselves for our own intre-
pidity, a tardy concession to
intellectual decency and good
order"
Often we ascribe certain
lines of action to what we
call intuition. When we speak
of q "woman's intuition" 1t
Is but another way Of de-
claring that there are de-
cided limits to strict logic.
Often 1t is said that "be-
cause" Is q woman's reason.
That is simply to imply that
often the explanation Of what
both men and women do at
some hour Of high decision
is beyond logic. We all choose
q direction at some cross

no convincing reason. We
