2, 1817. at the Postoffics at Syracuse, under th i act oJ March 3, 1S70J MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS is entitled exclusively to the use lor rr-publicaUon of all the locnl printed in the newspaper as well as all Associated PICKS news dispatches. Friday, October 7, 1955 Keep Guns Out of It The use of guns is not the way to end strikes, It serves no good purpose, merely inflames both sides to the dispute When labor and management to point where tempers run so high that firearms are brought in, it Is time fcr the government to take over, Fortunately, Governor George N. Craig of Indiana did not hesitate. He called out a National Guard unit to protect lives and property and enforce the laws impartially and sternly, This country docs not have loo many lahor-managcmcnt quarrels which reach red herft and violence, but it has had enough of them to show that there is a point at which the government, whether it be local, state or national, should step in not only to prevent bloodshed and tragedy, but also to use its Authority to decide the issue fairly and honestly.

i. The news from Indiana is shocking to the American sense o.C fair play, But if it leads to a permanent policy of incidents of the kind, it will have served a good purpose. The news of the terrorism in the middle west is definite that the trouble was not all on one side. Both were guilty, The government alonej through a high can act as an irnpapjjtil judge of a case like this. In all but these cases, it can serve with greatest success in mediation.

But in case of violence the best interests of all vaould be met by having a court of high principle decide the issue. Right there, we run into another dilemma. The trouble is that nearly nil labor hoards and commissions are a on a partisan basis. Those in authority are not abovo politics. The high judicial i a i of other courts is not found on them, It boils down to the necessity of establishing' a labor court completely divorced from politics or partisanship.

Can it be done? New York State leaders lu've been i for years to place the nomination of judges of its higher courts on a higher, non-partisan plane, but its political bosses have fought i idea grimly, persistently and, so far, success- Unless the people gel behind the policy, it will fail. Guns can be used legitimate 'y for the defense of the nation, or the fine sport of hunting, but never to settle private quarrels. Such use is in defiance of overything we hold and right. Family Court Proposa The Stale Commission on and Delinquency has recommended a statewide family court to handle all civil matters involving parents and children. This type of court is somewhat similar l.o the family part of Supreme Court which was opened recently in New York City to handle matrimonial and custody cases.

There is a growing realization that matters relating to the home should be handled in a specific judicial setup. A civic committee appointed to examine crime and law enforcement in Rochester recently urged a now domestic relations court. The salvaging of youthful offenders would be expedited in a family court. It could provide social and psychiatric services more effectively, and supervise probationers with greater efficiency. The handling of cases involving juvenile offenders has become a major problem, and the State Commission has seen the need for such a court to do the job, Eventually the work will he laken over by a special family division of a new state Superior Court proposed by the State Commission on the Courts.

But establishment of this setup is Jar in the future because f.he necessary amendment to the state constitution will take or five years. Meanwhile the need of concentrating family relations under one jurisdiction is obvious in the light of present day knowl- BEST OF ALL CENSORS The question is often discussed as to whether or not we should have legal censorship of plays and books. Certainly almost every parent today agrees that the restraint put on the motion picture industry is wholesome, particularly because quite young children and teen-agers are the most ardent patrons of motion picture theaters. As regards more adult forms of education and art, the difficulties which always surround any form of censorship become serious. Of course there is a present censo -ship.

Quite a few people are serving prison sentences today for having composed, printed, and furtively distributed obscene pamphlets. No one would say that such censorship is wrong, but where will the je. They no longer can be dealt with in routine manner and the increase in broken homes should not be allowed to continue. On the March Give More This Year The community asks more of you this year for its Community Chest and Red Cross needs. If you increase your pledge from 10 to 15, per cent, it will reach the goal of The sum is the minimum required, to keep our hospitals children's and old folks 1 agencies, Visiting Nurses, blood bank and other institutions operating at full efficiency.

The Community Chest-Red Cross program for the community means -that every person who needs help, in any way will -get it. it you become the Good Samaritan, sharing your good fortune with those who were- not so fortunate. We make no bones about wanting to see the drive succeed.

Success in things like this is what makes a community fine, one we are all proud to call home, for it takes care of its own. If there Is suffering, it is there to alleviate it. More than a thousand team members are out now visiting families and individu- 'als. When one of them comes to you, raise your gift by 10 or 15 per cent to make sure -the goal is reached, Effective Art In modern art, David Eisenhower's work ranks high. The drawing the seven -year-old sent to his grandfather is better than most modern art because you can tell what it is about.

Even though his horse appears to have picked up a trailer somewhere and Ike's steed apparently has a propeller for a tail, the heads are excellent and give a fine impression of speed. David seems to be carrying a scepter or maybe a shillelagh and the President has long locks streaming aft which contradict photographs we have seen of him recently, but minor details of the sort merely add to the interest of the drawing. Studying the picture carefully, we come to the conclusion that young David takes after his grandfather and with a little more experience will become an accomplished artist. Finally, the drawing met the biggest test with flying colors. It contributed substantially to the recovery of the patient, his physicians declaring that the picture and the bubble gum that came with it proved "a highly effective therapeutic agent," We guess that it's already a collector's item.

Milk for Servicemen An encouraging note for dairymen is found in the announcement that a program to increase the use of dairy foods by the forces is getting results. Servicemen consumed 80 million extra pints of milk during the first five months the program under which troop and hospital messes get additional This shows that men the armed forces will drink the milk if it is available, and there are few better ways to reduce the surplus. The Department of Agriculture would have to buy up the milk as surplus if it was not consumed by the military services. It pays the equivalent of the cost of buying, handling and storing an equal amount of surplus milk. This type of "binge" by servicemen should be promoted.

The food 'value of milk is unquestioned, and expansion 01 the program could make a large dent in the surplus. By Mrs. Frank Colby THE GLAD FLOWER Gladiolus, I am convinced, is the most controversial flower name in botanical nomenclature. Today's column try to throw a little light on the clouded question how to spell and pronounce correctly the name of the "glad" flower. (It really isn't however.

Gladiolus is Latin lor 41 a small sword," from "sword," the same word which gives us gladiator. So gladiolus is literally "the sword lily. 11 Now then, is the single Clower or "gladiolus?" Is the plural "gladiolas, gladioli," or "gladioluses?" Docs the accent fall on the or on the Well, all these spellings and accents ai-e to be foimcl in the dictionaries, so there isn't much help in that direction, The managing editor the weekly Florists' Review, one of the country's leading publications Jor florists, seedmen, and nurserymen, tells me that in his publication gladiolus is used as the and the plural, But, he says, gladiolus as both singular and plural "seems to be used almost" entirely in business correspondence. And most of the gladiolus societies have adopted 'gladiolus' lor both singular and plural." He adds, "As to pronunciation, we most frequently hear it with the accent on the third syllable Co'), but occasionally it is accented on the second, syllable CiV Eart Douglass line be drawn between the obviously evil and the perhaps evil? In reading some modern books one finds it hard to understand why some people.are sent to jail for distributing so-called obscene literature and other people are allowed to write $3.50 novels which are almost as bad as the stuff which sent the smut artists to prison. Also as one hears in the theater today sense of the utterly incredible lines and observes refined people -hugely enjoying these lines and calling production artistic, one is- definitely bewildered.

Legal censorship is certainly not the answer unless things get so bad that there is no other way out. Literature and stage echo back the public voice, which means that an aroused public conscience is the best of all censors. ff vrir i A --V $Nci A 1 1 1 rf ytt i TfX'j 7l 1 I if v.v -K w-tf tf A-" rt VVi, i i Vj, -5 H- -v i -X-3K9 L- fs. -y t'TrTipnr- UNN6SPOUS-TRBUNE- timing's Mail Editor of The The letters UNE!

Mead: The purpose of this letter is to bring to light continued maladministration our present Syracuse Traffic Court system. At the time of your election two years ago, ve conversed at length j'n reference to the operation of our lower court system, that we were in dire need of an additional judge in the absence of either our Traffic or Police Court Justice. The legislature massed a bill sponsored by Sen.

John Hughes Feb. 17 1953 in reference to same. I ag.vee it is a question. of administration by the judge of each particular court, but lirmiy believe two judges are of the utmost importance if we are to show proper business care of both courts, we owe this to our citizens arid our community. There have been numerous occasions, let us take only two, where one judge bad to endure Lhe stress and terrific strain of hanlding our Police and Traffic courts alone.

July 5 last, we had 59 arraignments in Police and 00 in Traffic court--an injustice, and imposition for one man to endure, alone. Oct. 1, there fl2 cases in our traffic court, this was regarded by an editorial in Sunday's Oct. 2, Post-Standard, as the busiest Saturday on record. It was handled by Judge Leo P.

Dorsey after completion in Police Court and this imposition was clue to tie absence of Judge Preston on both of these occasions. Although both tuaLions were ably handled by Judge Dorsey, "even with his patience and understanding," am still the utmost opinion, this is a most improper prcedure as it does not give the judge or the defendants necessary detailed time for a complete picture of the entire matter. I also feel it is an imposition to summon defendants at 9:30 a.m., forcing them to wait two or more hours before they can be heard, in addition to attorneys, policemen, wiUnesses and those interested in the outcome of an arra gnment. This i a practice of common knowledge, "of long standing" by our present presiding Traffic Court justice, Truman Preston, who has abused the privilege of continued absence with complete disregard to the wel- fare'of the administration of his own court and th-i citizens that appear before him. If your honor this is a matter of administration, then I say it is very poor administration, from the viewpoint of permitting persons' to continuosly be delayed, and k-sep repeating!

Too Much Red Tape Attitude of Social Workers ion of Children By GEORGS E. SOKOLSKY EVERYTHING GETS, TIGHTLY ORGANIZED THESE DAYS and "most folks-are afraid to buck the organizations. There are professionals for everything. Free adoption of children without the sanction of the social 'uorkers, lead to legal difficulties, with leaguing itories in the newspapers about Market Babies." But the social workers and confuse and cause heartache because they have a monopoly and all monopolists tend to be impevious. This is a broad and yet, from what I hear from questions ire-ridden persons anxious to add a child to their hoi.schold, I think that I would prefer to deal with anyone rather than with the stone- aced workers who have been siven unconstitutional monopoly for the placemen! of children, who need homes.

Some day thcii right to maintain this monopoly will go up to he Supreme Court on strictly constitutional gmunds. George Sokolsky I know of a'family of 'wo cultured persons who are economically in good shape whs know that they cannot have any children and who, for more than twc years, 'have been seeking a child for adoption througl the only agency open to them in New York where they live. Here such adoptions are controlled by religious affiliations whic i may or may not be a correct test, At any rate, unless one ob -ys the religious agency in charge, the adoption may not be lei.al and could lead to trouble. Supervision Lacking NO PUBLIC AGENCY ADEQUATELY SUPERVISES THE religious placement organiza'ions, with the result that there is a heart-breaking run-around. These organizations always say that there is a shortage of children for adoption, and yet constantly read stories about homeless children.

It is explained that soive of the homeless children cnnnot be placed because the parents who cesertcd them never signed the proper papers. There in; be no en own. parents. In a word, the child suffers for the sins of the parents, which may be a Bibical injunction in one pi ice but gainsaid by all the other injunctions about love, char ty and pity, which seem infinitely more important. If there are good home in children can be placed, why keep them An deadly institutionalised orphanages whcrn they are regimented until ey are released into a free society? It would seem to be more civilized let them grow up among parents and grandparents, if such they be only by adoption, where they can have the usual social relationships and get benefits of normal human associatiors.

Why keep them, in orphanages when they can in homes? I know of a fine family, the Ivusoand of which is a professional man of standing, who teaches in a university, whose wifo is a woman of culture. The would jive a good deal to be able to adopt a child and have tried hacd to arrange for such an. adoption. The years pass while the social workers investigate and question and delay, and insist that they cannot find a suitable child, but there are children in the orphanages who would benefit if brought up in su an environment, IK WHOSE INTEREST serving?

Who is now- Washington Merry-Go-Round By DTEW PEARSON WASHINGTON--NEWS OF THE FAR EAST HAS BEEN off the front pages since tli; President's illness, but the fact remains that the Joint of Staff, are definitely expecting serious trouble around Fornosa thi? fall.

It's no secret that they intend to meet any serious trouble with atomic weapons. This was cleared with Eisenhower before he became ill, so the mili ary do -iot expect to clear any further qucsthn of us ng atomic weapons with Denver. THs, of ccurse. may cause serious repercussions with our allies. In preparation for trouble, the joint chiefs are quietly pulling America i manpower out of the Far East and concent; ating U.S.

Currently, three and Marine division are stationed in. i le Far -First Drew Pearson to be withdrawn will be she First Cavalry Division in Japan, though it "hasn't been anno meed The joint chiefs are also considering pulling the Arn.y's 7th 24th Division out of Korea. This would leave South Korea i practically no American support, but the joint are cr-untins on Syngmkn Knee's army to stop any minor attack and on atomic weapons to turn back a major attack.

Similarly, American alomic- air power is poised a Formosa in case, the United States should become embroiled in an outbreak between Communist and Nationalist China, The public doesn't realize it, but 10,000 Amer can troops are stationed on mosa. Of these, 1,500 arc attached to the U.S. Military Mission. With such an American s-akc in Formosa, any B.ed attach on the Nationalist held -stronghold will certainly involve the United States. The likelil ood of such an attack, in the Pentagon view, is far more immmenl than the peace news otr of Moscow would indicate.

Pentagon strategists are convinced that the Chinese Communists are simply biding their that they will attack first Quemoy and Matsu, later mosa. They expect the li tter attack before the end of 956. These strategists point significantly to big Chinese Communist i a a Korea, and they believe tiese troops are being moved to South China, right opp-tsite Formosa. Despite sunnier relations in Europe, these military prognosticates see war clouds gathering in the Far East. In secret political hud lies, GOP National Chairman ard Hall has seriously ricn- tioned the possibility of -tinning another Eisenhower in case Ike pulls out of the race -the President's brother, Milt Eisenhower.

Probably no one else has exercised greater influ ince on. the President's decis ons, Milt even moved into the House for a while he could be handy with his ad The Chicago Tribune i of the Republican party is qu etly building up support for Illi- around, on Taft's advice, for a nois' urban Sen.
