Editorial Correspondence
New York City, N. Y., Feb. 22 This is Washington's birth
day and the Weather Man, cockeyed as usual, stages another
snowstorm the third since Michaelmas. The snow follows the
coldest February 20 and 11 since the 1st World War. The latter
would not have been so bad, had there not been a stiff north
easter blowing. The wind has died down now and the snow
with rising temperature is therefore welcome.

It was Washington who could not tell a lie. This is proof
that If he were alive today Washington would be an effective
leader of the anti-Communists. For once more your corre
spondent is Impressed by the fact that Communists not only
CAN tell lies, but they much prefer falsehoods to the truth,
prefer devious dealing to straight shooting at all times and under
all conditions.
Take the latest development In the Gubltchev-Coplon case,
for example.
Not wishing to be cited for contempt of court, we can't be
too explicit. But the real low-down In this sudden firing of the
irrepressible Archie Palmer and the taking on by Judy of three
new and fellow travelling attorneys appears to have been a
typical Moscow maneuver. Whether Archie was in the plot or
not we don't know, but we would doubt it. There is no reasonable
doubt, however, Judy was, and the entire hocus-pocus obviously
an effort to secure a mis trial by the specious Plea of a delay of
two months being necessary for the Red legal trio to properly
prepare their case. Such a long delay, coupled with the claim
that Miss Coplon had never been competently represented by
counsel, would in all probability, have led to a mistrial, or been
ground for reversal of whatever verdict might have resulted.
Fortunately Judge Ryan is not only an exceptionally good Judge,
but a shrewd trial lawyer an unusual combination. He was
very guarded in his comments, and as usual restrained and con
siderate, but not only the defense but the entire court room
suffered a real shock when he stated there was reason to ques
tion the "good faith of the defense."
There was, and is. After our experience In the Communist
trial of four months ago, we would expect slick, underhanded
shenanigans from the legal defense in any trial where the issue
was Communism or something closely related to Communism,

We were somewhat surprised to note in the always reliable
Medford Mail Tribune, that the speaker at Medford's Lincoln
Day banquet, Senator George Malono of Nevada, stressed the
necessity of a return to the principles of the OOP protective
tariff, and predicted that by September, there would "be no
other comparable issue in the congress of the United States."
Shades of William McKinleyl Can it be true that the Nevada
Senator really represents the sentiments of the Republican minor

democrats.

traveled up the Hudson and found that the General Electric ex

with certain chemicals can bring rain. Well, with mid-summer
only 90 days away and with the water reservoirs less than half
full, something must be done if New. York is to escape a major
catastrophe.
What is one man's meat, however, is still another man's

Martian Activities

The report that an amateur
nstronomer, Tsuneo Saekl of
Osaka. Japan, observing January
10 with nil 8-inrh reflecting tel
escope, had seen a terrific ex
plosion on Mars, was widely re
ported by the press. What seem
ed to be a volcanic eruption had
sent a grayish cloud of 1100 miles
diameter about tiO miles into the
Martian atmosphere.
At this writing. February 1. no
confirmation seems available
from other astronomers. The
facts that a relatively small tel
escope was used, the observer
"has no place of scientific honor
in Japan," and Mars was not at
a favorable distance for ' good
seeing," make one feel that per
bans some nver-enthnsiastic state-

possess such startling possibilities
that It was considerably over

Father John gets a lot of GI fan

to: "Father

who played
Uarnurj Nichols with several
name bands before he became a
Catholic priest. He was one of
the more popular entertainers
in the U.S.O
Father John Is a supporter of
the president's committee on re
ligion and welfare in the armed
services. The committee mel
here today to see what it could
do to find a substitute for the
finnncially-pinched U.S.O.
"Seems to me," Father John
said, "that America takes a long
nap between wars. We have all
these kids in uniform, about 60
per cent of them under 25. They
now don't even have a place to
sit down and write a letter or
have a coke. It's a shame."
Still Going Strong
But you can't slop a man like
Father John. He's still going
strong. Since he became a priest
he has worn out, by actual
count, four saxophones and two
clarinets entertaining something
like 25.000 veterans and service
men a year.
"I wow 'em with 'Sweet Geor
gia Brown'," said the Benny
Goodman of the cloth. "The
boys like it hot and that's the
way I give it to 'em."
Father John is as serious, at
times, as he is "hot" at others on
the clarinet. He thinks that a
pretty good substitute for the
U.S.O. would be a program for
the boys sponsored by local mer
chants who "get most of the
boys' paycheck anyhow."
Proud of Billing
The padre is known around
Ihe circuit variously as the
" priest who plays his prayers"
and the fellow who puts out
"Father John's medicine'' in
service hospitals. He's proud of
his billing and says his cardinal
gave him a quick "go-ahead" on
Ins work with the servicemen
and women.
There is a legend that once
sailors aboard a ship coming up
the eastern seaboard threatened
mutiny unless they could dock
snmrvhore near Philadelphia.

Behind the Air Curtain
To the Editor: Just before
Christmas, a scientist was broad
casting over a California station
telling of a strange craft of tre
mendous proportion having
crashed in a Chicago airfield. It
contained nine occupants, all
little men, and thev were dead
when found.
Then, this man was abruptly
shut off the air.
Later, he gave a lecture In an
Oakland auditorium on the same
subject, stating that some of the
small type, globe-shaped, objects
sighted, were thought to be real
ly controlled, high-speed photo
graphic equipment and most of
their activity seemed to be cen
tered around Chicago.
wow. why have all these re
ports been ignored or hushed up,
so suddenly by various high gov
ernment officials?
Surely if Ihesc stories are a
hoax or publicity stunt, they
should be exposed as such.
However, if they arc true then
the general public has the rirfht
to know about all the informa
tion gathered to date.
"Saving face." to most of usi
is of littic consequence.

Californian says that Seattle,
Wash., isn't the only place where
a bride is presented with a cook
book when applying for a mar

given a cookbook in San Fran

a marriage license. "A good
cookbook, too," she adds. "I still
have it." Very interesting. But
why hn't the prospective bride
groom presented with some kind
of book, too? Just what kind of
book I can't say offhand. One

In the Day's
By FRANK JENKINS
JUST FOR the fun of it. let's
do a little reasoning today
taking as our subject this busi
ness of buying up agricultural
products with tax money to keep
prices high. Let s start with the
system we're using now.
WE SET a price for various
crops below which we won't
let the price fall. We keep the
price up to "parity" by going
into Ihe market and buying and
storing. In that way, we accom
plish two things:
1. We keep the price up.
2. By keeping the price up,
we. stimulate more production.
IT'S GETTING to be a mess.
Consumers are kicking on
high prices. Foreigners are com
ing in and under-selling us. The
warehouses are getting so full
that the time is approaching
when we'll have to start destroy
ing food beginning, of course,
with the perishables. .
Destroying food goes against
every human Instinct.
THE END result will be sharp
limitation not merely of what
can be planted but of what CAN
BE SOLD. That will mean an ar
tificially created economy of
scarcity.
FACING THAT (and not liking
its looks) we're beginning to
talk of a new scheme. We call it
the Brannan plan. We say:
Guarantee the farmer's annual
INCOME. Then let prices fall to
whatever may be the supply and
demand level. Write the farmer
a government check for the dif
ference, whatever it may be.
That will give consumers the
advantage of lower prices.
ET'S CONCEDE this much:
It makes more Muse than the
firesent system. At least it would
et the ronsumer buy at a lower
price. That would be something.

Egg Enthusiast
When a ftian testified In a
London court that he had eight
eggs for breakfast daily the mag
istrate, expressing surprise, said:
"The only man I ever heard of
having nearly that number of
eggs for breakfast was Primo
Camera, the boxer and wrestler.
He had only seven eggs in an
omelette every morning." This
brings , to mind that although
Camera, .during- his boxing ca
reer, visited England, he was not
permitted to fight there. The
authorities said he was too big,
too powerful, to fight an average
sized man. They said he "might
kill somebody." Strangely
enough a short -time after that
Ernie Schaaf. the American box
er, died after a bout with Car-nera.
