W- Every afternoon, Monday thrrogh Friday Mr. Bloch Should Get Some Close Scrutiny Now that the Rosenbergs have been executed and very properly so we believe the Department of Justice should give some close attention to their attorney, a character named Emanuel Bloch, and some of his un- American outbursts. We aren’t sure that some of this Communist symp athizer’s rantings and ravings do not constitute treason against this country. After receiving the news that President Eisenhower had refused to save the convicted atomic spies, Bloch shouted to reporters: I*' “I am ashamed to be an American today.” He denounced the execution as “an act of cold, delib erate murder.” p Still ranting and raving at the funeral services, he declared, “I place the murder of the Rosenbergs at the door of President Eisenhower, Attorney General Brownell and J. Edsar Hoover.” the two enemies of America, Bloch sneered: “We aren’t the two enemies of America, Bloch sneared: “We aren’t dealing with human beings We’re dealing with animals.” He was referring, of course, to the President of the United States, our Attorney General and our FBI chief. He also called them “barbarians.” We believe in freedom of speech, but we’re wondering if such outbrusts as these don’t really constitute treason and defamation of the character of the highest officials of our nation? Mr. Bloch and the Rosenbergs didn’t just have their j“day in court.” They had two years of it. Seven times the . case went to the United States Supreme Court. Every possible safeguard was taken to insure that justice was being done. Even at the zero hour, President Eisenhower and At torney General Brownell stood by ready to save the Rosen bergs from death if they would only cooperate and tell what they knew about espionage in the United States. And yet, this unsavory, aespicable, wailing, whining sniffling, unpatriotic citiaen had the audacity to say, “i pun ashamed to be an American.” We aren’t too familiar with the background of this 1 but we are confident ni good, loyal American could l be capable of making such statements' about his country : and his duly-elected officials. There ought to be some way to deport an ingrate who | says he’s ashamed to be an American. There should be no I jiiace in America for him. Surely, the Justice Department jfopght to be able to find some legal grounds to get rid of Iftlm one way or the other. (Frederick OTHMAN WASHINGTON.

It was at this juncture that the Brothers Dalton of the Follies caught on and they announced the first cocktail party for the press ever held by a burlesque theater.

This particularly applies to the State Department, which is unusually apt in designating things by what they are not as, for in stance, “The Neutral Nations Repatriation Commission.’’ This Commission is in no sense neutral. It consists of five mem bers, Sweden, Switzerland, Poland, Czechoslovakia and India. Os the five, Poland and Czechoslovakia are Soviet satellites. Their foreign policies and activities are control led by the Kremlin as positively and as literally as the foreign af fairs of the States of New York' and Illinois are controlled by the State Department. It is an historic inexactitude to regard them as separate and so vreign states. They have been con quered by Soviet Russia. Poland is completely a Russian province over which marshal, of Polish origin, presides. Czechoslovakia lost the last vestige of independence when Jan Masaryk committed suicide. India led the movement among Asiatic and Africlan nations again, st the United States. It is fatuous to regard India as other than an opponent of American policy in Asia. It is because of Indian pres sures that Great Britain, to hold the Commonwealth together, was forced to adopt an anti-American policy concerning China, and a trader's policy concerning the Ko rean War. Therefore, out of a Commission of five, two are Russian states; one is pro-Russian. In a word, Russia has three votes out of five. Sweden is strictly a neutral country, frightened to death by the propinquity of Russian farces in Finland. Were a war to occur in Europe, Sweden could be oc cupied by Soviet Russia in a matter of hours. It is impossible to accept fear as neutrality. Switzerland is neutral. Actually, then, out of a Commis sion of five only one nation may be regarded as altogether neutral. It Is absurd to call this a “Neu tral Nations Repatriation Com mission.” It just is not true. Most interesting is the fact that while Russia has two members W this Commission, the United States does not have even one. It could be said that the United States, the Republic of Korea, Soviet Korea and Soviet China were kept off the Commission because they were belligerents and all are treated equally. Yet, it is political realism, and should be known to the State Department, the Pentagon and the White House that the factual bel ligerent, the agressor In the Ko rean War, was and is Soviet Rus sia. A student of the formation and nature of the Soviet Empire should know that the International rela tions and military activities of all countries in the Soviet Empire are controlled by the Kremlin. There can be no independent ac tion on their part any more than Utah could conduct an indepen dent foreign policy. Therefore to speak of this as a “neutral” commission, with Russia holding two seats on it while the United States has none, is to give a fanciful name to an historic out rage, which, had it been committed by Dean Acheson, would have aroused the full anger of Am erican public opinion. Yet, It seems to ipe that what would have been wrong had it been done by Harry Truman and Dean Acheson Is wrong no matter who does It. This proposal- Including the names of the member states, or iginated in India. The Soviet coun tries made a pretense of rejec ting it, which has now proved to have been a trap for us into which we blithely walked. Had Soviet Russia accepted this plan offhand, the likelihood is that the United States would have rejected It. So they played a game and we have lost. We have lost the first war In our history. And where do we go from ben? The fact is that no nation can any longer risk itself by associa ting Its future with American policy. This country lost 1364)00 casualties in Korea. At least 25,- 990 Americans have been killed there. Yet, we turn over prisoners of war, many of whom are vio lently anti-Orewmmist. to * Soviet, filled Commission on vrtieh the United States does not even have representation.

DEMAND FREE ELECTIONS IN THE SATELLITE STATES For years we have talked about the day when Poland, Hungary, Cze t'.’ioslavhkla, et al would rise up against their Soviet Masters, To day they are doing it. Today East Berliners have the courage to face Russian tanks with nothing more than sticks, stones and bare hands. Today Czech workers are rioting in the streets of Pilsen. Yet we who once led the world have sat by doing nothing. We have let Russia take the in itiative away from us by one phony peace .move after another, while we could easily come forward with a legitimate and Inspiring demand that these countries be permitted to vote. Such a vote was specified under the terms of Yalta. Such a vote would be supervised by the United Nations. Such a vote would iresult In casting off the yoke of Communism. We should resume our leadership by making this demand again and again, by pounding it home until we get results. 2. DEMAND A UNITED STATES OF EUROPE One of the great mistakes of the Truman adminto tratton was not to make the Mar shall Plan dependent upon condknic integration of the Euro» pean continent and an eventual United States of Europe. For Europe’s economic ills breed wars, and the small countries of Europe can no more exist inde pendently than Detroit could ex ist if it sold automobiles only in the state of Michigan. - There was no use building up French and Italian factories, there fore, merely to handle their own domestic markets. These markets have to be irttegrated. Further more, when the satellite states throw off the yoke of Communism, they will have to be offered a chance to fit their agricultural e conomles into the Industrial econo my of West Europe —a natural partnership. The late Count Sforza, foreign Minister of Italy, emphasized this to me in 1947. “The salvation of Europe is a United States of Eur ope,” he said. “And unless you knock our heads together through the Marshall Plan, we won’t a chleve it You have the bargaining power over us, use it” Though time has been awasting : we still have that bargaining power through mutual security aid. Fur thermore. many Europeans them selves have come round to the Sfon» point of view. Many are even ahead of us. What they need is vi- 1 Rorous support and leadership by ' the UJ3.A. 3. DEMAND THE LIFTING OF THE IRON CURTAIN For some W7 V a 'lt Winchell in New York NOTES OF A NEWSPAPERMAN History is a Joyous and sadden inf pageant. It constructs and de molishes life and shapes the course of events with irrestible power. The baric function of a newspaper is to report such events with all their glories, absurdities and tragedies. Highlights are reflected as well as shadows. The ambitions of nations are conveyed or the passions of a single human being. The fact that death is frequently newsworthy is not an expression of morbid fas cination but a representation of stern realism. International cata strophes and personal calamities make headlines and history. It could be the demise of a nation or the story of the condemned Rosenbergs. Mankind is often the most formidable of all beasts of prey. Each headline eventually at tains the timeless quality of his tory. It is ''the task of a reporter ly their stories strike emotions like ly their stories stirke emotions like the thunder of Hell. Gene Fowler’s stunning descrip tion of Ruth Snyder’s execution fulfills the varied qualities of su perior reporting. It exemplifies a perceptive eye and a gift for sig nificant detail. It penetrates the superficial aspects of the story and transmits the myriad emotions throbbing beneath every human event. Fowler reported: ’’Ruth wore black stockings, the right one of which was rolled down to the an kle. On her feet were brown felt slippers. She wore blue bloomers . . . Her blue eyes were red with much weeping. Her face was strangely old. The blonde bobbod hair, hanging in stringy bunches over her furrowed brow, seemed al most white with years of toil and suffering as the six dazzling, high powered lights illuminating every bit of Ruth’s agonized lineaments. Tightly corseted by the black lea ther bands, Ruth was flabby and futile ~as the blast struck her. Her body went forward as far as the restraining thongs would permit. The tired form was taut. The body that once throbbed with the Joy of her sordid bacchanals turned brick red as the current struck.” The nature of a reporter’s pro fession often gives him an almost microscopic view of humanity’s sombre side. But newsmen never become tough enough to accept it casually. After Gene Fowler be came »pe of Hollywood's ace scen arists, 'he wryly commented: “I never liked seeing persons execut ed—si Ace non e of the victims ever seemed to be moving picture pro ducers.” Incidentally, when Ruth Snyder paid her grim debt to society it aroused a controversy that still rages in Journalistic histories. A news-photog (with a small camera strapped to his ankle) caught the murderess cooking in The Chair. The published photo horrified many people. Belittlers deplored it as an illustration of vulgar sensational ism. The defenders contended it was merely an example of Journal istic enterprise . . . The single photo was responsible for zooming a tabloid’s million new readers. It is essential for reporters tv develop a rugged emotional exter ior, Covering executions, however, has wilted the toughest. Some have swooned or have been sickened by the horror. It isn’t unusual for newsmen to fortify themselves with harsh beverages before cov ering such a atorr. Which makes the following more astounding: When\the murderer of a, French 1 politician was guillotined some time ago, women Journalists were bar red. But an American newsgal named Mary Knight covered it. She walked in with other report ers—dressed in male clqthes. ' COLUMBUS, Oa.

Crane Deborah’s germ phobia is really a disguised sex complex. And the solution Is rather simple. But yen can spend hundreds of dollars and even go to a mental sanitarium If you don’t learn hew to nip these early psychological problems in the bud. So use the sex bulletin named below and Insure your marriage. Case H-326: Deborah D., aged 29, Is a housewife with a phobia. "Dr. Crane, Deborah Is deathly scared of germs,” her husband in formed me. “She is afraid to have guests visit us lest they may touch any of our furniture and thus contaminate it. "And that holds for our own parents and other relatives, too! As soon as they leave our apart ment, Deborah gets a lysol bottle or some rubbing. alcohol and goes over everything to disinfect our home. “She also washes her hands so often with soap that I’ve had to take her to a skin specialist, for her hands are raw and bleeding. “He has told her she doesn’t need to be so finicky about germs, but it does no good. She says If she doesn’t etrid of the germs, she’ll go crazy. What is wrong with her?” LADY MACBETH Don’t you remember how Shake speare's Lady Macßeth tried to wash off those imaginary blood spote from her hands? She felt guilty and thus tried to cleanse herself, for the spots were in her mind, not on her skin. Pontius Pilate also tried to wash off his guilt in a similar maimer for sending Jesus to the cross. So when people become too ob sessed with germs and show an ab normal tendency to keep clean, this often means they are compensating. Germs and dirt thus may sym bolize sin. It may indicate that they are trying to attone for past sins, either real or Imagined. For example, a person who has indulged in self sex practices and who has been taught that this is a grievous sin, may then try to foe unduly diligent in the use of soap and water on his hands. IMAGINED GUILT Many a young wife feels some what frustrated In marriage be cause her husband has never learn ed how to stimulate here adequa tely. Indeed, most husbands still hav en’t learned this vital technique or we’d have very few divorces, for most divorces start In the bedroom. When a wife is thus frustrated, and when she also approaches the dreaded 29th or 39|th birthdays; she becomes secretly alarmed. For she thinks she will be an "old woman” when she Is 30 or 40. as the case may be. So she tnay vaguely wonder if romance Isn’t passing her by.

DEAR MARY HAWORTH: My husband and I have been married six years and have three adorable boys, ages 2, 3 and 4. George is good to me In some ways. He never complains if I don’t have his meals op time or if he doesn’t have a clean shirt when he wants it—he Just reminds me to wash one. It isn’t often he lacks a cleanahirt, though, as I wash twice a week. . My problem is that he never gives me any money for clothes or anything. My relatives give us their outgrown clothes, for which I am thankful—but I don’t see why I can’t have money to buy things for the boys as George has a good pay ing Job. They beg me to buy them coloring books and crayons like their friends have—but even though we live in the city limits, I never go to town. George won’t even give me money for ice cream for the children while he is at work. Their playmates g*t ice cream cones twice a day while my boys stand and watch them hungrily, if they think I don’t hear they ask for a taste. I punish them but ,‘ t bre * fa heart that they can't have ice cream, to°- The? can’t understand why I don t give them money as the other mmmaM d 0 My watch that I’ve had for eight yedrs stopped and George said to PW* ■ hi the shop and he’d get it out It has been there for nearly ?♦ 3 ? ar he won 't even discuss fey * myself a Job.

He probably doesn’t understand the barm he fa nlfiTrmmtjiM ™ and ”7 Xt ”*74 “®* ? * . • . ■v"'. ■ e.tV i • In such a mood, many a virtuous wife thus toys with the idea of romance with some other man. PENANCE FOR SEX Because she has been morally trained and may be active in the work of her local church, such a wife may then recoil in shock at the audacity and sinfulness of her thoughts. So she subconsciously penalizes herself. Since syphilis and gonor rhea are still the arch bugaboos of Illicit sexual affairs, she may deve lop Deborah’s phobia and thus re peatedly try to wipe off the furni ture with alcohol or lysol. And the more unsatisfied she is in the marriage relationship, the mare evident her phobia becomes. The solution is very simple. Send for the bulletin -“Sex Prob lems in Mairiags,” enclosing a dime and stamped, return envelope. If her husband will satisfy her secret craving for romantic thrills, she’ll quit straying, even in her imagination!
