Let The Courts Decide

For many weeks preceding action by grand
jury bringing criminal indictments against dis
dnglished group of leading citizens the dopes-
ters were in print with predictions that nothing
would come of the grand jury's deliberations.
Since then, the defendants have been brought
TO trial the daily editorial pages In admring
II not sycophantic atmosphere, and of course they
have been acquitted Of any wrong-doing by the
editoriasts who have been acting Judge and jury
as well as advocate
This sort of advance verdict Is Of course one of
the perquisites in society, Of anybody accused
Of wrong-dong- provided the accused is sufficient
ly influential 1t is process that Is due the wealthy
and the powerful.
There is another process that Is due every ac-
cused person. That Is his day in court where all the
available facts will be heard and argued and where
q properly qualified judgment will be arrived at.
Since this day in court has not yet occurred,
there would ordinarily be occasion at this stage
Of the proceeding to point out the possibility that
the defendants might-tust as outside possibility
-be guilty Of what the grand jury indicted them
for. There would be no such occasion, that is If the
daily editorialsts had not already rendered Voci-
ferrous a verdict Of acquttal.
The point is important Our banking system is
the most sensitive part of our economy and as such
affects very intimately the economic welfare Of all
Of Its functions, instructions, malfunctons and
the history Of the United States from the earliest
days of the republic beginning with the establish
ment of the first Bank of the United States. Our
banks have been big if not determining factor in
all of major depressons and economic disasters
including the in 1881 which saw the economy
grind to total stop.
All Of U.S. therefore, have a deep concern in the
matter at hand. We have a tremendous stake in the
proper functoning Of the banking system Moreover
the government which has created the banks and In
a sense guaranteed their prosperity, has a respon-
sbility to see that they operated properly and
within the rules laid down by Congress.
1t Is sufficiently disturbing that grand jury
should have been so impressed by the information
put before it to bring out such far-reaching in
dictments. Now that 1t has done so the public will
want to see the charges tried in proper court,
and not on the editorial pages.
One factor which puzzles this newspaper Is why
Minnesota banking institutions selected as
trial runs for these indictments. Their operations
presumably similar to those Of other states Are
we to presume that Minnesota lending institu-
tons bigger volators than those Of other states
and therefore more vulnerable.
1t would have seemed more significant If in
dctments had been sought in all at We
cannot believe that only Minnesota banks guilty
Of whatever the Justice Department bases it charges
against Minnesota banks.

For Shame!

We have always been fascinated, well as
puzzled by the sputtering rage which the presence
of the Roosevelts the stage of history has always
evoked from certain segments Of the population.
Even the death Of so great lady as Eleanor
Roosevelt drove Of these to attempt to arculate
his inarticuate blind fury William F. Buckley, Jr
apostle Of the right extremists who is principally
known for his attacks civil rights, came up with
this characteristcally ungrammatical Judgment
Mrs. Roosevelts principal bequest was the
capacity to oversimplify problems as to give en-
couragement to those who wish to pitch the nation
and the world onto humanitarian crusades which,
because they fail to take reality into account end up
plunging people into misery" He then accuses her
of ex post facto responsibility for Woodrow Wilson,
who he suggests was responsible for Hitler and
Stalin
Such turgd misery requires company, and
Buckley summons 1t up, in the person of his col
league, James Burnham, who puts a kind Of esclam-
alton point at the close of BuclSleys outburst:
"Over whatever subject plan or issue Mrs Roose-
velt touches she spreads squdke ink Of direction
less feeling. All distinctions blurred, all analysis
fouled and in the murk clear thought Is forever i'm
possible"
1t Is inspiring to reflect that Mrs. Roosevelts
greatness was such that no defense Is needed from
such as this, and extended commentary upon 1t
would be superfluous

State Reorganization
And ''Ripper" Laws

Highway Commissioner MarshalTs proposals to
reorganize state government looked merely
ludicrous at first glance.
On second glance, they do not look quite so
funny Indeed 1t to be entirely possible that
the Commissioner sending out trial balloons for
somebody else, to determine whether there was
enough wind, and in the right direction, to launch
a ripper operation.
Now it appears that bills are being drawn and
will be introduced to dismantle important parts
Of our state government. This idea has import
ant support from powerful Republican forces and we
may expect to see a real campaign in the current
session of the legislature
By no coincidence at all, the departments which
Commissioner Marshall wants to dismantle are the
two which presided over by Democratic officials
who were returned to office last November. AS we
pointed out in earlier editorial transferring legal
functions from the Attorney General to the High
way Commissioner makes little sense, especially in
view Of the record chalked up by General Marshall
In a relatively short tenure highway inspection
and highway patrol
Nor does It make sense to shift the motor
vehicle license function from the Secretary Of State
to the highway department or to a new agency.
This work Is now being done efficiently and e11pedi-
hously. The licenses are a traditional natural and
proper function Of the Secretary of State. More
over the voters have a remedy for any shortcom-
ings or failures they can vote the man responsible
out Of office. On the other hand what can they do
but wiring their hands the incredibly foued up
drivers license function? Nothing but endure the
delays errors and failures Of the system.
1t is entirely possible that we have arrived at,
OF are approaching, a time when reorganization Of
the state government and regrouping of functions,
are called for. Those who would approach the Job
with narrow, short-range partisan objectives, are
doing the state no service at ALL however You don't

Letters To The Editor
IN Race identification
In NewSpdpeP

N~S
Editor: Regarding your COM
ments on the excessive identifica-
ton of Negroes in newspapers and
radio: while it is true that the
more enlightened newspapers and
broadcasters identify a Negro only
when this identification Is pertin-
ent to the story, it is also true that
when it is pertinent the identifica-
ton should be made. The same
thing can be said about any other
identifiable ethnic, cultural, reHg-
ious or other group in the country.
There is no disparagement in this.
On the contrary, in the cases you
have mentioned.
James Meredith is a Negro and
this is the whole point Of his story.
If some broadcasters overdo the
Identification, I am sure it is not
to disparage him and his efforts
but to make sure their listeners
understand what the story is all
about. Moreover, Negroes can take
pride in this Identification of a
very brave, very dedicated, and
very self-sacrificing American.
1t seems to me entirely imma-
terial what the origins of the term
Negro" may have been. 1t is an
honorable term, made so by the
great accomplishments of great
leaders under some of the greatest
handicaps that have ever been i'm
posed upon a people. The contribu-
tions of Negroes to science, cul-
ture, craftsmanship, and all fields
of human endeavor are especially
important because they are Ne
groes, and these contributions
should be identified - including
those of James Meredith and others
in the civil rights battle. - A

American family, Everett LuOma
we still have rs million Americans
living in substandard homes
Our classrooms contain two mil
lion more children than they can
properly have room for, taught by
80, 900 teachers not properly quail
fled to teach. One-third Of our
most promising high school grad
yates are financially unable to con-
tinue the development Of their tai
ents Medical research has
achieved new wonders-but these
wonders are too often beyond the
reach of too many people, owing
to lack of income particularly
among the aged), a lack of hos
pital beds, lack of nursing homes
and a lack of doctors and dentists
. Organized and juvenile crimes
cost the taxpayers millions Of dol
lars every year. E. The denial
of constitutional rights to some Of
our fellow Americans on account
of race-at the ballot box and
elsewhere - disturbs the national
conscience The present state
of the economy is disturbing
OF some five and a half million
Americans without jobs, more than
one million have been searching for
work for more than four months"
So the New Frontier was ushered
in with tremendous fanfare and
with great promise. Two years
later, after almost every proposal
to improve the situation described
so eloquently had been defeated in
Congress, President Kennedy stat
ed on Jan. IA, 1868 in his second
state Of the union message, "Hav-
ing observed steady improvement
in the opportunities and well-being
of our citizens - I can report to
you that the state of this old but
youthful union, in the 175th year
of its life, is good"
Something Is obviously wrong.
If the nation was in such dire
straits in January of 1861, the
of the nation certainly
can not be considered good" in
January 1868. Because of this con-
tradiction, one wonders what Ken
nedy's detectives really are. Using
the power of the office Of P1Asi-
dent to institute social reform GER
tainly does not seem to be one of
them. This is especially empha-
sized by his revealing remark
quoted recently by New Republic
that there is no sense in raising
hell and then not being successful"
When one wishes to do such great
things as the New Frontier sug-
gests, one must expect to be de-
feated occasionally.
It is evident that the state of
the union message in January,
1861 was not based on sincere
but merely to give hope
to the citizenry that something
would be accomplished. This was
to maintain consistency
with the type Of campaign that
had been waged.
Soon afterward however, Ken
nedy in effect abandoned his New
Frontier by refusing to give it the
type Of leadership 1t would require.
In place Of his excellent reforms,
he began to cultivate a personal
image Of himself to the public.
This image that is being created
is similar to the image that royal
ty in other countries have before
the populace. This image, which
emphasizes Jaclde's hairdo more
than Medicare, is only useful for
whipping up patriotism to protect
United States investments in I'M
derdeveloped countries. This image
is not useful for promoting social
reform because its publicity de-
pends on the very forces that op-
nose social reform.

Federal Government Offices
No Longer Leasing
From Biased Landlords
The federal government has
quietly been using its widespread
rental Of office facilities to further
civil rights. Landlords are being
required to include no-racial dis
elimination and no segregation
clauses in leases. The clauses ap-
ply not only to the parts Of build
ings the government rents but to
areas rented to private tenants.
The program began late last
summer. So far civil rights clauses
have been written into some $50
new and renewed leases in cities
over the nation, many Of them In
the South. Some landlords have
complained that while they favor
the end to segregation they do not
want to be put into the position Of
policing tenants and to pay the
cost Of moving government offices
If government agency leaves be-
cause Of discrimination.
By and large, though, landlords
are accepting the government lease
1t is another forward
step toward racial equality with
