Rough Treatment Charles Waichekauskas of Collins- vllle, 111., has been a coal miner for 37 years. And now, suddenly, he's out of a job because other men in his union, the Progressive Mine Workers, refuse to work with him. Why? The 50-year-old miner plans to heat his new home with gas instead of conl. And the union local's by-laws bar its members from using gas for home heating. Waichekauskas is well aware of the rules.

But he says fumes from coal in his present house make his son violently ill. Attention rival United Mine Workers: if the PJIW local declines to reconsider what appears to be its extremely harsh action, we suggest that you recruit this veteran miner and find him a good job. No one can blame miners for trying to protect themselves by kcepkig coal in wide use. But rules that can't bo 'relaxed to meet special human needs don't deserve much general sympathy. Lewis May Be on the Ropes, But Don't Count Him Out Some of the "veteran observers" around the country have been saying John L.

Lewis is really on the ropes this time. But it might be smart to wait until the finals before counting him out. Admittedly things are tougher for him this season. The negotiators on the other side are new men not easily stirred by Lewis' Shakespearean oratory. They are holding a solid front.

And coal stockpiles have been hard to cut down to the point where his bargaining power would be enhanced. But despite these little irritations, Old Shaggy Brows refuses to give up. He may be nearing TO, but he can still devise strategy that keeps his opponents guessing. Lewis seldom if ever has allowed his miners to dig coal under different wage scales, but they're doing it now. As of Jan.

1 the small mines which yielded to his wage-pension demands began paying higher rates than old contracts called for. All other miners at work are still getting the lower pay and pension benefits. Instead of calling all the latter group out of the pits Jan. 1, Lewis launched what one reporter dubbed "push-button strike warfare." First the Illinois miners went out. Then, as they went back, others left the pits.

Now the UMW chief has "suggested" that these return. Heretofore his "suggestions" have had virtually the force of law, but this time thousands of UMW workers in the soft coal belt defied him aijd remained off the job. Apparently he hopes to continue his present course, maintaining most mines on a three-day week but permitting "spontaneous" work stoppages here'and there. By these measures he has at last whittled coal stockpiles down far enough to worry railroads and retail yards. He is keeping just enough coal above ground to avoid an emergency that would compel government action.

But in so doing he is keeping the coal operators' books in a very unhappy state. Largely due to Lewis' maneuvering, soft coal output last year fell 28 per cent below 19-18. The operators want the government to order Lewis to restore the five-day production week in all mines. It hasn't answered the plea. President Truman insists there is no national emergency.

If Ihn reply continues "no," the mine owners may eventually give in to his demands. But it's a serious question whether anyone will really he the winner in this war of attrition. For the longer conl supplies continue uncertain, the more consumers will turn to oil, gas and other substitute fuels. Views of Others Control of Sex Crimes Recent killings of small children nller criminal attacks have so shocked the American people that Increasingly strong public demands nre being made for more effective action against sex offenders. However, as was pointed out in this space not so long control ol sex offenses requires the best efforts not alone of law enforcement agencies and the medical fraternity but ot the public as well.

For so long as there is a tendency to draw back In horror from the fact of shocking offenses, their perpetrators cannot be prosecuted effectively. Indeed, on the basis of reported sex crimes, the aggregate In the United Slates has tended to Increase since the war, while most other types of crimes have been diminishing. Approximately 16.000 rapes are estimated by the Federal Bureau of Investigated to have occurred In 1948. In large cities rape cases known to the police reached an all-time high last a. point 50 per cent above prewar levels.

Moreover, reported arrests for less violent sex offenses have risen nearly 150 per cent since 1940. This rise has occurred despite the belief of F. B. I. Director Hoover and others that much sex crime Is preventable.

Medical knowledge now indicates that many habitual sex offenders should be classed as sick persons, Just as chronic, alcoholics are coming to be regarded as Invalids. Proper treatment can remove a high proportion of the physical and mental difficulties which lie at the roots of sex offenses, but such treatment is available at only a few penal institutions, and to achieve the desired result 1 it often must be continued beyond the statutory sentence. In point of fact, certain penqlogists have urged wider use of the Indeterminate sentence for sex offenders, so that may lie held until their release Is compatible with public safety, Also, a Federal sexual psychopath law to applyrjrf all states is to be submitted during the next session of the Congress. Hut even the best laws will be only partially effective until the public recognizes the importance of reporting all sex offenses. Citizens who, with understandable reluctance to expose a victim, withhold charges against a sex olfcndcr, are permitting him to continue his null-social acts with impunity.

Even relatively minor offenses have been known to culminate In murder when the offender became alarmed at his victim's sturg- glcs or was overwhelmed by his own guilt. In this connection, Mr. Hoover declares that parents can help to prevent sex crimes, as well as to protect their own children, by warning boys and girls against the advances of sex deviates. A child can be warned, without being terrified, in terms of illness: "Some people are sick In a wny that makes them want to do harmful things; we cannot always tell who these sick people ore, and so we do not accept money, candy, or other favors from strangers, and above all we do not get into cars with them." Parental warnings can be reinforced by teachers, police'departments and other groups and individuals concerned with promotion of the public safety. (Ala.)

FHIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1950 Out of Sight, Out of Mind General Who Fought Germans Presents Strong Bid for Unity Sunday School Lesson By William K. Gllroy, D. It we could transport ourselves back through 20 centuries, and see Just as It was the world and the cnviroment In which Jesus and His little band of disciples laid the foundations of Christianity and the Christian church, we should understand something of the wonderment of that beginning, and (he seeming miracle of how the church took root and grew. As It Is we see the events through 20 centuries when Christianity and the church are worldwide, when the church even in- its outward aspect has become an institution of prestige and power, and when how was By DeWlIt MacKenzle AT Forelcn Affairs Analyst Twice in a generation Britain suffered all but mortal wounds from German aggression. It therefore Is of peculiar Interest to find the high commissioner of the British zone in Germany calling for the burial of hatreds and a renewal of Anglo- efinan friendship.

That's what happened the other night when General Sir Brjan Uob- erUson gave a heart-lo-heart talk before the Hamburg Overseas Club. He wasn't begging for friendship from his German audience, but rather was slating Ihc need of It in the blunt language of a soldier.

Subject for Discussion in the UN WASHINGTON Thei question of U.S. foreign policy to' meet the threat of world commun- Lsm seems to have been niven different twists by the recent speeches of President Truman and Secretary of Stnic Acheson. Up until now, it has been nlly assumed tbo the American position was stated In th6 "policy of containment" ol Russian communism. This policy has been attributed to State Department Councillor; George F.

Kcnman. It WHS believed to imply that the United Stales must wngc cold to prevent further expansion of Russian Communist influence. President Truman's State of the Union message seemed to confirm this policy against "the new imperialism" of MID Communists. "In the world today," snirt the Prfsi-i dent, are confronted with the danger that the rl.sing demand of people everywhere for freedom and a better viy of life may bo corrupted nm betrayed by the false iromiscs of communism. This to us Is more than a iTllitnry challenge.

But somewhat different emphasis secm.i to have been put on the matter oy Secretary Acheson In his tnlk on Far F7nstern policy before the Natlnnnl Press Club. "I hcnr almost every (lay someone say Hint the real interest of the United States Is to the spread of communism. Nothing seems to me to put the cart before the horse nmrc completely Mum that." said the secretary "Communism is tbc most subtle instrument of Soviet foreign policy that has ever been devised and it is really the spearhead of Russian imperialism," Soviet Imperialism In XnrUi Clitna The secretary went on to give specific examples of this imperialism, "The Soviet Union is detaching the northern provinces of China from China ami is attaching them to the Soviet Union.

This process is complete in outer Mongolia. It is nearly complete in Manchuria and I am sure that in inner Mongolia and Singkianjr. there are very happy reports coming from Soviet agents to Moscow." Anyway yon read this, it sounds hke aggression going on. If that, is true, the next question is. What is to be done about it? Secretary Achcson warned against "the folly of ill-conceived udvcntures un our He did not mention what they might be.

But it us easy to infer that he means not getting involved in any wars in which the United States forces might get licked, such as in sending moie aid to Nationalist China or trying to defend Formosa. There Is. course, considerable arpmi.a.t still going on In Washington the wisdom of those decision. But assuming those decisions will not be changed, what else ran be done- to meet the threat of Russian imperialist aggression?
