Show Kan Complete Trial Needed To Legally Outlaw War By BAUKHAGE News Analyst and Commentator. Eye Street. N.W., Washington, D. C. As the Nuernberg trials draw to close, I continue to hear two ques- WNO a tions Service, repeated infinitum market in 1616 ad the places and bazaars, in the coffee houses and the couloirs (not to mention the lecture halls). One is: Why on earth are they arent they ever going to end? The other is: Do you think any these fellows (the prisoners) are going to get oil? The intelligence of the questioners and the number of times 1 hear the questions assures me that the main purposes of the trial are still widely misunderstood. Associate Justice Jackson knows as well as anyone else that news from Nuernberg has long since departed inconspicuously from the front page. He knows, from reading the American newspapers which reach him not too belatedly, thanks to the ALS (the armys special courier service), that his role in the Nuernberg case will never bring him a succes de scandale. He knows his presence is needed in Washington on the Supreme court bench. In any case, he knows that he is adding to his fellow Justices' burdens, if not their annoyance by remaining away from the job. Certainly he realizes that time is not increasing the prestige which he undoubtedly achieved when he engineered the trials and made his ringing opening address. He has nothing to gain personally by remaining longer in that .dreary, pulverized Bavarian city. Why, then, does he tarry? Full Documentation Is Required By answering that question, one can answer the other two I mentioned at the beginning of these lines. One: Why is this thing being dragged out forever. . . . ? Answer: Because this trial is not merely a trial of a handful of international criminals. These evil villains are only a small part of the drama, even if it is they, and not what is behind their castigation, which sometimes still produces headlines. The trial is a great process of legal documentation. It is the recording of history, for the first time in history, of history written in blood, and ink hardly yet dry. It must be a complete record; the record of a crime which, until it is so recorded, may never be admitted as a crime in die eyes statesmen of international and lawyers. The Allied military tribunal (operation justice, as it was known in the army) was planned, and is being conducted to its long and apparently Infinite end for the purpose of blueprinting a legal precedent for holding as punishable criminals, the heads of states who plot and carry out aggressive warfare. That is the answer to question one. Question two: Are they ever going to convict these fellows? I answered that in part when I said were far that the proceedings more than the trials of the defendants who sit daily in the prisoners dock of the court house at Nuernberg, or in their lonely cells near by. And for those who fear that justice will be cheated, let me say that most of those men, if it cannot be established that they took official part in the planning and execution of an aggressive war, are probably wanted on other charges in local courts. If they go free from Nuernberg, the local courts will try them, as the Beast of Belsen and oth- ers were tried and convicted for their separate and private crimes. It is possible, for Instance, that the sadistic, degenerate Streicher, wielder of a jewelled whip that was .a symbol of his psychosis as well as an instrument of his perverse desire, will not be convicted by the IMT. He is so low that his fellow prisoners wont speak to him; so crooked that even when he was a Gauleiter, he couldn't be trusted to sign a single order of national or international significance. He finally stole so much from the Nazi party itself that he was incarcerated. Jew-baitin- g BARBS The of business say boom, everythings always a nice trip up.

Because of that situation, one-thir- Sen. Lister Hill of Alabama and Rep. Emily Taft Douglas of Illinois, have introduced identical bills simultaneously in the house and senate calling for annual federal grants of $25,000 to each state for use of state library associations in rural areas. The bill also empowers states to provide additional funds up to a maximum of $50,000 annually for such work, which the federal government would match. While no federal control or administration is involved, annual reports would be called for and states would qualify for funds by preparing plans and submitting them to the United States commissioner of education The statistics show there are 586 counties without any public library service. , The greatest number. 150 counties, are in Texas. Kentucky is second with 63 counties with no library, and Louisiana and Mississippi are third, with 35 counties each. In only 11 states does every county have a public library They are Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Maine, New Massachusetts, Hampshire New Jersey, New York. Oregon, Rhode Island and Vermont.

Out of the doors of the cathedral which crowns Washingtons highest hill, through the court in a gentle rain that set the yews to weeping and the young leaves of the privet shining in aqueous green, the solemn procession moved. The President and his entourage, the members of the Supreme court, the cabinet, the congress, and the others slipped away as the family of Chief Justice Harlan Stone bore him gently to his last resting place in beautiful Rock Creek cemetery. Another great American had chosen the nations capital where he served for two decades, as his long, iat home. And I could not help thinking of something I have said before in these columns Pennsylvania avenue, from the capitol grounds to the Potomac, and past the White House, is only an extension of a thousand Main streets, which run through the court house plaza," the square," or ihe commons, on past the First National bank and the opera house, the department store, and the ice cream parlor, to the free fields and woods beyond. So much a part of America is Americas capital city, and so much a part of Washington are all the towns and cities clustered about their rivers, their main streets, their city halls, and post offices, that when one long serves the nation here, it becomes his second home; often first in choice for his declining years and his last resting place. I am sure that former President and Chief Justice William Howard Taft loved his native Ohio no less than the federal city; here the bridge upon which he could be seen taking his dally walk now bears his name; he lies in Arlington with our other soldier dead. I know that retired Justice Hughes lacks no love or loyalty for the Empire state. Oliver Wendell Holmes, deeply rooted in New Eng land as he was, lived here, and when he died, bequeathed his home to the nation. These are but three of many who chose to live here when their duties no longer made it necessary. There is something about Washington, a city virtually without in dustries. or the other institutions which make a metropolis, that bears the mark of small-toAmerica. Washington is the only capital of a great nation which is not that nation's metropolis. There is also something else e about this town which, for thousands of us who follow our humble ways here, make it home My own prairies are as dear tc me as ever, and I never cease to thrill when I move across the bor der and over the fat black soil Illinois: I have warm memories the mists that blow in from the Pacific too; the hills and the lakelands of western New York; New England's green-creste- d mountains and rocky coast where I have been more than a transient guest. But I can well understand how those who have moved along the quiet avenues of this city, whose vistas run far back into the beginnings of American history, choose this city beside the broad Potomac as their final home.

There is one war which will have d my support though I hope It can be fought with brains and without bloodshed. Such a conflict was referred to recently as a possibility by a writer in the New Republic. Perhaps it will be, he says, as inevitable as was the Civil war within the United States." It would be in the nature of a civil war within the United Nations to establish the sovereignty of the United Nations and preserve its unity, Just as it was necessary to establish the sovereignty of the federal government of the United States and preserve the union. No other war is worth fighting because any other would merely be the continuation of all the sanguinary struggles, unwanted by the people, for the power and the glory of single nations. whole-hearte- out dragging these trials; of The Nuernberg trials will continue until the record is completed.
