fresh in our memories, the lessons for ourselves and for disciplined as Civil Defense, the Red Cross and other emergency units, are obvious. A Minor Mystery Syracuse has sort of a minor mystery in its midst. Is it Columbus circle, St. Mary's circle or Library circle? The Post-Standard files for 1932 report that the name of the circle in front of the Courthouse was designated Columbus in October of that year. The City Hall research department cannot find any ordinance changing the name from St.

Mary's to Columbus circle. To deepen the mystery, Richard Wright, president of the Onondaga Historical Society, points out that there is a Columbus circle at Oak, Burnet and Lodi sts. The city directory has it St. Mary's, the list of intersections has it as Columbus. So what? The whole mystery was started when Frank Terry at the courthouse wrote terse, direct note to The Post- Standard: "Between the Courthouse the Cathedral, it's St.

Mary's Circle." The Post-Standard drew on its files and said the name was changed to Columbus circle in October, 1932. So the what seems to be that everybody's is going in circles and it might be a good thing for the city to establish the name officially, A -traffic cop might arrest a man for a violation and report that it happened at Columbus circle by the library and the driver's lawyer could get him off by proving that he was nowhere near Columbus circle at the time. Leave It to the Girls William W. Cronin Many of the improvements to city streets and other facilities are a result of the work and thought of William Cronin. He served Syracuse as chief deputy city engineer from 1929 to 1939, and before that was a state division engineer.

A man of vision and wisdom, he was outstanding in his field. During his career in Syracuse, he nuilt up a host of friends whose respect and esteem he by his good qualities both professionally and as a man. His death orings sorrow to a large circle of friends. Baby on the Bearskin Rug It looks very much as if most 1952 babies are going to be embarrassed in later years when mother trots out pictures of them posing on the bearskin rug in the altogether. We gather this interesting fact from figures on the sales of flash bulbs which have just come in.

In 1949, only 160,000,000 of them were sold: in 1950, 'the number mounted to 232.000,000; and last year a peak of sold. But the estimate is" that this year manufacturers are equipped to turn out between 370 and 380,000,000 of them, and can sell them. A little quick arithmetic indicates that this is almost three to a person in the United States and under such conditions, how can baby escape that traditional and embarrassing pose? The flash bulb, in fact, has made it impossible to escape. It used to be that the camera enthusiast had to have good sunlight to get successful pictures, but now he can go prowling around in the dark or half- light and the flash bulb lights up every- i beautifully. It doesn't take any arithmetic to become convinced that taking pictures of the baby, the vacation trip, the big fish, the new home, or visiting relatives is big business in this country and growing bigger.

One look al the flash bulb figures is enough. And why not? It's a wonderful hobby, it takes one's mind off some of the depressing subjects facing us and provides a record of the highlights in our lives better than anything else can, even if baby does object.

There are various causes for this disease. One is that many a person seeks out alcohol for vsolace when he encounters an overwhelming crisis in life. He experiences disappointment or sorrow, and, because he knows that a few ounces out of a bottle will make him forget these things temporarily, he reaches for the bottle.

Oflrourse, he comes back to sorrows thai are deepening and problems more overwhelming than when he last confronted them. But many a person is not able to resist the temporary relief which comes from anesthetizing a portion of his brain and thereby enabling him for the time being to forget or to evade. That this is a tragically unwise approach to any problem goes without saying. need always to remember that life is a school and that the Master in charge of that school puts problems before us with the expectation that we will work them out, and grow in so doing. To toss the problem into the wastepaper basket is only to pile up trouble for ourselves on that day when the final examination "will be held.

And for every one of us there is a final examination in prospect. The Bible calls it Judgment Day. It occurs many times (spelled with small letters, and finally spelled in capitals). COUHTRV OUT OF A TOU5H wwv AT THE TIME, QUALIFY FOR ONE OF WHO mtf Syndicate, Inc. Morning's Mail Not Surprised at Turn to isenhower 9 To ihc Editor of The Post-Standard Most every one wa5 amazed at the turn to Ike at the Minnesota and New Hampshire primaries.

Not I. Ever see a hen with her little chicks wandering around the farm yard? Peaceful, serene, calm until something starts to bother her little brood, then, brother, watch out. She will tackle anything, even a dog, to protect her babes. And so it is with the women who braved the storm to vote, some one is invading her home and her children are in danger; don't worry, she'll fight any one to protect them, even the great Truman machine. Once more they are bringing up the old horse routine; don't change in the middle of the stream.

I agree with them, theyv'e ridden the poor nag to death in the past 20 years, now is the time to either turn her out lo pasture or just to be on The safe side, sink her in the middle of that stream so she won't ever have to carry their load again. Another of their cry is. "Farmers, you never had it so good. Vote for us." Do they i the farmer a stupid being? Don't they know he can figure, perhaps he's getting twice as much for his milk, but then is a i three times as much for grain to make it, Don't they know that the farmer has to buy food and clothing and farm machinery? Wow! What prices! No, the farmer isn't stupid, The farmer works closer to God than anyone and when he sees the food that without God's help would never be, rotting in piles, he knows as do we all that it's all wrong. Farmers farmed it long before Truman and Roosevelt and got along without their help and they'll do it again.

One last reminder, there are two things in this world that money cannot buy and they are a baby's smile and true friendship. If it takes billions to keep the friendship of those on the other side, what's going to happen when we go broke, going to be mighty lonely, aren't we? MRS. ROGER HOPKINS. Knoxboro.

The author inferred that many conscientious citizens gave up their time for Civil Defense, thinking they are rendering a Tn the ILdiior of The I cannot imagine anything more conducive to a hardening of the heart, and the complete destruction of the will to rehabilitation equal to the recent treatment of Donald Nickerson in the daily papers. Such a seasoned criminal as Al Capone could not have met with a more prolonged or damning publicity than this lad of 22 has been given.

I have in my possession what is called a 2 inch ribbon across the entire page of a recent issue which holds up this lad to the worst contumely and exposure that I have yet read. Is that conducive to any will to change and be different? Is there any thought of Donald in this, of his future as an American citizon? Is there any consideration of him as a child of God. possessing an Eternal soul, which by a divine gift of Grace can be changed? Is there any attempt to try and understand his background, his broken home, his utter lack of parental love and care? Is there any allowance for the fact that he never received any Christian instruction in his whole life, that he was thrown on his own during his tcnderest years? Is there any love for him, any hope of faith in him? I ask you. PROTESTS Indeed, what is more, I strongly protest this cruel public damnation of a lad of 22, affording him no opportunity for rebuttal or explanation. To me it is the act of extreme and damnable cowardice.

No wonder that our young offenders become master-minded criminals. However, be that as it is. I still affirm that given the right atmosphere, an inspiring environment "a break" as he might call it, Donald will still make good, that he will make full amends for his unfortunate past and one day like Starr Daily and Stuart Wood Twith far longer and worse records) will become a good American, ipdeed a useful Christian Thru the Years (From The Post-Standard Files) 10 YEARS AGO TODAY Saturday, March 28, 1942 The 133d anniversary of the formation of the Town of Salina was c.bserved formally when Supervisor George L.

One of the toasts drunk si a recent celebration requires no eulogy--she speaks for "Woman American, which is something that 75 per cent of our people are. making no effort to attain, even those occupying high positions in our land. Donald's tragic error lies in the use of a gun act no one can defend, I certainly. do not, as he knows it) to attain an end that others in high places reach thru the use of their wits. Why? Bo- cause Donald has not yet had the good fortune to be in a position to "pull strings," to "make use of influence" which these gentlemen in more responsible positions of government and business occupy.

The motives are identical, tho the means may be more crude and physically dangerous, so Donald stands condemned while those in high places in our land continue "protected" in their equally sordid- corruption. Incidentally, the latter are in a position'to use our sons to use for them, so who really is the greater criminal, actually? USED GUN Donald used a gun, yes. This I believe, is easily explained in one sentence, his deep subconscious fear of life, his utter sense of inadequacy and unprcparedness for living, the direct result of his lack of human affection and care in early childhood. As to his other -crimes I fail to see much difference between his motives and those who today fill responsible posts, except that Donald has not learned the finesse which it takes to be a good refined crook. Am I right or wrong? I defy anyone to contradict me.

So close as in my previous letter that, given a chance, I believe Donald will make good, will conquer and rise above his un- "fortunale past, because I believe he has turned to God in earnest and with a thoughtful resolve to become what God created him for. Trusting that in some small measure this letter will undo some of the tragic mischief, character destruction, which has been meted out to this young man. I remain convinced that at heart Donald is good, that he has great possibilities and that -he will achieve them. C. BERTRAM RUNNALS.

Rector. Cavalry Episcopal Church. Syracuse. A Praise Mitchell To ihc Editor of The read in yesterday's Post- Standard that Senator MacNeil Mitchell, a New York senator, with a heart for dumb creatures, proposed that the State Health Commissioner be required to appoint a representative of the State Humane Society to inspect laboratories where dogs were being used in research. His amendment was defeated, 39 to 15.

Opponents of his amendment said it would emasculate the law, this blackest of all laws sponsored by Senator Metcalf of Auburn and Assemblyman Hatch of Rochester. Metcalf and Assemblyman Hatch must feel proud, when they reflect on the torture their bill, which they worked so hard to pass, will cause all poor dogs and cats in the humane pounds or "so-called humane pounds." These torturing vivisectionists must have plenty of money and power to defeat, even an amendment, that would protect these dogs in a small degree, by a representative of the State Humane Society to inspect the laboratories where the dogs are being used. But no, even a representative from these State Humane Societies cannot get a glimpse of the animals, because if they did, they shrink in horror from some of the sights- they would sec. We don't see how anyone with normal reason could keep from going they witnessed and had any part in the day by day ttfrlure meted out to these animals. May God bless you.

Senator Mitchell, and if you will use your power to repeal this bill, thousands of dog in New York State will help you with money, and In any other way they can. MR. and MRS. T. W.

G1LBRETH. Onondaga Hill Older Jurists Passed Over New Judge Reduces Bail On Leading Communists BY.GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY THE DECISIONS OF JUDGE EDWARD JL UIMOCK IN THB United States District Court in New York are, in many respects. mindful of a passage written by Frederick Engels, in 1895, jo print of Karl Marx's "Class Struggles in "The irony of world history turns everything upside-down. "We.

the the we are thriving far better on legal methods than on illegal methods and revolts. The parties of order, a they call themselves are perishing under the legal conditions created by themselves. Judge Dimock, was sworn in on July 23, 1951. His judicial experience is limited to his present position. He has been the State reporter, editing the official law reports'of the State of New York; -he has served in the Office of Contract Settlements, Washington.

He has been lecturer of the law of municipal corporations at the Yale Law SokoUky School Now, he is sitting in the Criminal Part of the United States District Court, over which Judge Medina had presided the trial of the first string Communist leaders. Judge Dimock is presiding over the trial of the second string Communist leaders. So far, the Communists are having a field day of it. Surety Waived IN THE MATTER OF HABEAS CORPUS PROCEEDINGS IN- volving the bail of Isidore Begun, one of the most notorious and publicly known Communist leaders, the Government, in view of eight Communist fugitives in these cases, asked that in addition to bail, Begun should have a surety 'to guarantee his appearance. Judge Dimock said no surety was necessary, despite prior ruling to the contrary by Judge Sylvester Ryan, an experienced jurist in this court, plus decisions in the Court of Appeals, and by Mr.

Justice Reed of the United States Supreme Court. In the case of William Schneiderman, now head of the Communist Party of this country, he was indicted on the West Coast, but happened to be in New York. The usual procedure as for the California people to say what bail they would like set; to move the culprit to California; and to hav decisions made there. California asked for $100,000 bail, which was subsequently reduced to $75,000. Judge Dimock further lowered the bail to $50,000 and stayed removal for Schneiderman to make bail.

Precedent Flouted THE CASE OF IRVING WEISSMAV. A COMMUNIST wanted in Western Pennsylvania, Judge Dimock reduced the bail from SI00.000, an amount he regarded as ridiculous, to $35.000. These two reductions violated well-established precedent that 3 Federal District Court will not interfere with bail recommended by another district which has jurisdiction over the prisoner. The case of the second string Communists, technically referred to as United States V. Flynn et was set for trial March 3.

1952. At that time, the judges regularly assigned to the Criminal Part included Judge Henry W. Goddard, the second senior judge of this court, a jurist of great distinction who presided over the second Aleer Hiss trial in which Hiss was, convicted: Judge Irving Kaufman, who had presided over the case United States V. Julius Rosenberg et al. (the Atom Bomb in which he imposed death sentences: and Judpe John F.

X. McGohey. who as the United Attorney successfully prosecuted the first string Communists who were found guilty. Why New Judge? THESE JUDGES WERE PASSED OVER IN THE ASSIGNMENT of the case of the second string Communists now before Judge Dimock. But the surprising fact stands that when the assignment was made to Judge Dimock, he was not formally scheduled to sit in the Criminal Part.

The question naturally arise? in the mind of a newspaperman as to why the experienced judges were passed over and a new judge who had not presided over major criminal cases was chosen to handle this tough one. Some judges gain distinction one way; some another. "Judge Medina won a great place with hip handling of the first string Communist cases hy his methods: maybe Judse Dimock can achieve the pame result by another methnd. To the layman that is not important. What is important is that justice shall be done and that these cncrr.jos of America shall not be coddled and given special and undue advantages.

The string Communists were found guilty. Eight fugitives from dcvelooed in these cases, which must be watched and the record studied day by day. Western Europe Day by Day Best Policy in Germany Is to Re-Unite Country BY JOHN B. CRANE Some words, as the result of misuse, acquire a bad odor. Such is the case with the word "nationalism." Actually, nationalism can be either good or bad.

depending upon the kind of nationalism one has in mind. Here in Germany the Occupying Powers always talk as if nil nationalism is bad. while nil internationalism is good. Hcnrt, together with the Russians, thpy have tried to the German Ruhr, to "internationalize" the German Saar. etc.

They seem to think that nationalism can be destroyed by carving up a state such as modern Germany into smaller piecc-s. Russia has annexed a big piece. Poland annexed a piece. France carved out. 1he Saar for.

its private economic exploitation. And little pieces of Germany wore passed out to Holland, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, etc: This was supposed to- solve the problem of German nationalism. Nothing could be more siUy or stupid. It merely makes the Germans more nationalistic, and contributes to the rise of neo-Nazism and other extreme nationalist movements. BEST HOPE Psychologists teach that a mon is more interested in himself than in anyone else.

Next to himself he loves his wife and chilrirpn most, then his parents and blood kin, then the people in own community, then those in his nation and, lastly, the people of other nations. If the psychologists are rignt, then human beings are by nature more nationalist than they are internationalist. It is impossible, then, ever to expect masses people to put internationalism first and nationalism second. The best that can be hoped for is to persuade the common man that the people of other countries are human beings like himself and thus entitled to equal rights and privileges. America and the Western Powers, then, in out a long- range foreign policy, should take care that it is based on sound psychological principles of human behavior.

Our foreign policy should be based, therefore, on the recognition that nationalism is an ineradicable psychological reality, and is a x'irtue of a order if the nation where prevails stands for freedom, justice and liberty. And freedom for all peoples, not for just the people of his own nation. BASIC UNIT The NATION, therefore, is the BASIC UNIT of any Association of Nations, or League of Nations or United Nations, in the same sense that the FAMILY is the basic unit of grouping within a community or nation. A person should be proud bo an American. Britisher, Frenchman, a his nation stands for -freedom and justice, and believes in the brotherhood of man and the Fatherhood of God.

What is The maining of this for American foreign policy towards Germany? As I see it means that America should take the lead in i i about the tion of Germany and the establishment of a new German based on same constitutional principles as the United States of America. Millions of Europeans believe that the Russians are taking the Jcaci in reuniting Germany, snd that America, as a result of French and British influences, is not really interested in German reunification. The latest "Russian peace proposals are enhancing this belief. They say: America insists on integrating Western Germany in a European defense force and rearming it as a part of a force which will sooner or later produce conflict. American policies are leading to war.

not peace. These views are believed in not only by millions of Germans and French but also by a large "segment of the British Labor Party. Aneuran Bevan last week even claimed that American policy in Western Europe yas doing more than anything else to spread Communism in Europe. In my considered judgment, there can be no peace in Europe as long as Germany is split up into pieces. Our policy should be aimed at the reunification of Germany as soon as possible, the full restoration of national sovereignty to this reunited Germany, and then full economic and military cooperation with this new.

free Germany in the defense of the free world. A reunited Germany can and will co-operate with the eWst to maintain its freedom and the values of the western world. But to force a truncated West German State by various pressures into a reluctant military alliance against Russia will, in my opinion, only to disaster; particularly, since the Germans are required to participate without being given. the same freedom as enjoyed by the other participating nations.
