I j-- V. jiv v. Jrerae Dunne Describes Charity as Key to Women Services; More Direct Approach Advised Bl BESS M. WILSOX Club Editor "I think we will have to learn that charity begins at home." As my typewriter taps those words onto the paper they seem very commonplace. But to me, who heard Irene Dunne say them this week, they were anything but that.

Miss Dunne's earnestness made them living, vital, inspired. Hers is the earnestness which -T sees all women helping all people who need help.

Walton said: "The genocide treaty is now in the Judiciary Committee of the Senate and President Truman urges its passage. 'Genocide' is a made-up word meaning the destruction of a whole group of people racial, religious, ethical or national. Genocide has never been committed in this country. It is abhorrent to Americans. "As a government policy, such as it's use by Hitler and as upheld by Russia and Communist China, it is a policy for destroying whole groups who disagree with those in power.

The idea is beyond understanding. Plan Outlined "The treaty states that a government official or individual can be legally punished for an act of genocide if they cause physical or mental harm to a group or part of a group (a part can mean one member of a group) if they had genocide in mind. "Who is to say what is in the mind of any individual. 'Mental harm' is not defined; 'complicity in genocide' or 'incitement to genocide' is a crime under this treatment. Since these terms are not clearly defined in the treaty it can be interpreted that criticism of a member of one of the groups specified by an individual could be interpreted as an attempt to genocide.
