FOUR IRONWOOD DAILY GtOBE, IRONWOOD, MICH. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1957. The Daily Globe is an independent newspaper, supporting what it believes to be right and opposing what it believes to be wrong, regardless of party politics, ond publishing the news fairly and impartially. GIRARD ON TRIAL The trial in a Japanese court of Army Specialist William S. Girard is bound to icncw agitation for revision ot the "status of lorcc-s" agreements and treaties with allies in whose territory the United States maintains tioops.

Girard's Japanese lawyer said in advance of the trial that the soldier would plead innocent, maintaining that he was on duty at the time of his fatal shooting of a Japanese woman. Under the executive agreement with Japan, the United States is granted jurisdiction over "performance of acts of U.S. troops. The dispute in Girard's case is whether in shooting at a woman scavenging for spent shell cases- after allegedly enticing the woman by throwing some cases toward her--he can be considered acting in performance of duty. There appears to be little disposition to argue that he was not.

technically, "on duty." The House Foreign Alfairs Committee on June 27 voted IS to to report iavorablv a measure which Congress had turned down, hi one form or another, since the Senate ratified the N.A.T.O. status-of-forces treaty in 1953. The present version, introduced by Rep. Frank T. Bow (R-Ohio), directs the President to renegotiate status-of-forces agreements to en abl the United States to retain exclusive criminal jurisdiction over its forces abroad.

Failing that, the President is directed to rescind these agreements. The Bow resolution is now bottled up in the House Rules Committee. An amendment to the foreign aid authorization bill at this session would have provided revision to allow the United States "exclusive criminal jurisdiction over American military personnel while on duty" within the boundaries of foreign countries. The rider was defeated by the House on July 17, but only by a 134-134 tie vole. That defeat, on top of determined opposition from Secretary of State Dulles and the President, probably means that thc Bow resolution will not come up at this session.

The agreements did not come directly into the case when a federal judge ruled, June 19, that Girard should not be surrendered to Japanese jurisdiction. In a sense, the judge the agreements in that he found specifically that Girard had been "acting. the performance of his official duties as guard." The ruling of the lower court was overthrown bv the U.S. Supreme Court on July 11. In a tinanimous decision, the high court ordered that Girard be turned over to the Japanese courts.

The Supreme Court, in recognizing the status-of-forces agreement, noted th.it "thc wisdom of the arrangement is for the determination of thc executive and legislative branches." Now the American Legion, which has demanded abrogation of thc status-of-foices agreements, has an observer in Japan to make sure that Girard gets a l.iir trial. This in.m is Col. Alvin M. Ovvsley, a Dallas attorney, and the personal lepre.sentalhe ol the Legion national commandei. On 21, in advance of the trial, he anticipated that his lepoit to the Legion national convention mouth would lead to a resolution calling lor amendment i icci.siou of thc agreements.

ONE WAY TO GET 'EM In the nature ol things, getting conclusive evidence against racketeers, extortionists and assorted financial finaglcrs is often a tough job. The biggest problem is to find witnesses willing to testify against the alleged offenders. Violence or the threat of violence to silence most. This possible helps to explain vvhv, when all else seems to fail, the U.S. Internal K'neime Service frequently turns out to be the agentv which nails the elusive offenders All their sousxe ol income, must tile income tax icttniis.

And Revenue has a devastating a on those who trv to conceal income the government. Finaglcrs often attempt it, iiMiallv to their sorrow. Thus the bureau has for second time in recent months lowered Hie tax books on Dave Beck, retiring Teamsters union president di.ng- ed by a Senate committee i many fin.nn uil irregularities. A federal grand jury not long back indicted Beck for allegedly evading S56.000 in taxrs due for 1950. New indictments add $184,000 to the pile, this latest sum said to be due for thc years 1951 through 1953.

Though they may grumble each April 15, ordinary taxpayers may be happy to know that Internal Revenue is around to bird-dog certain citizens who seem to be above everything but the tax NEA. COURAGEOUS OR FOOLHARDY Whatever harsh things have been said of Frenchmen in this troubled age, no one accuses them of not knowing how to make (heir lives pleasurable. The French are rightly fabled for their understanding of the proper care oi the stomach through the administering of good food and drink. As one U.S. observer said not long ago: "If you like to eat, yon will Hnd Paris' literally awash with the good things." In this setting.

French Finance Minister Gaillard. seeking to combat inflation, now dares to suggest a national economy menu comprising various low-cost items. Gaillard is a brave man. If he makes any headway with this one. he obvioiu.lv will be marked for higher things, like the premiership.

'Copyright 1956. atures Syndicate, inc.) C-Corge President Eisenhower is a i a diffi- cul time in his second term as political leader, which is" very different from conception of the role of President. His arises from several causes: 1. He does not seem to realize that ours is a concessional not a parliamentary system of government and that the President is not a prime minister; 2.

lie has undoubtedly been badly served by his and advisers, who failed to keep him informed as to the probabilities of Congressional action and as to the shifts in public opinion to which Congress responds rapidly. Probably his greatest disappointment arises from the fact that it is impossible to form a coalition government in this country, and that while the Democrats have been more gentle with him than the Republicans were with Harry Truman, nevertheless, they arc Democrats and are looking after themselves. lie also must recognize that the majority of his own part)' does not accept the modern Johnnv-comc-latclies. The Civil Eights bilj is a case in point. The bill, as passed, satisfies nobodv.

For some reason, not readily understood, President Eisenhower's advisers believed that he could get from Congress a bill i would tot.illv change the political complexion of the South. Such a bill could not pa.sv I i i a watered-down measure 1 i i to enloice. which gives no one am a i a i The best that can be said about it is a it is than nothing at all so far as those a such a bill are concerned. Thc bill to "save the FBI i i it does not a the President, is .1 ie- flcction on President Eisenhowers appointments to the United States Supiemc Court. The final bill cornpletelv overturned the Jrncks decision written by Justice Breniwn, Eisenhower appointee, and it was passed in the Senate by a vote oi 74-2 and in the: House bv a vote of 315-0.

Such a reversal of a Supreme Court decision by thc Congress has a if ever, been witnessed. In this matter, it is to be noted a the President took no position and Constitutionally he had none to take. Nevertheless, the court, as now constituted has boon by Eisenhower appointees and has nnqucstionablv outraged public opinion or the overturn the Jencks decision would not have been ot dimensions. Congress must reflect public opinion or many membcis -will be dcfealcd in the next election. Paralleling this vote is the election of joe a successor in Wisconsin.

The answer, of course, is that thc ghost of Joe McCarthy continued to a in that election. The McCaithyites in Wisconsin stayed awav from the polls or they oted for thc Democrat.

Their action was anti-Eisenhower rather than anli-FCohler. Of course, it was a disappointment to President Eisenhower. It lost his party the possibility of contiol of the Senate for another year: but vvoi.se than that, it may put ideas into the heads of McCarthyites- in other parts of the country. It will.

Bright's disease, which is known medically as nephritis, is a disease of the kidneys. It may begin suddenly, either immediately after an acute infection, such as tonsillitis, pneumonia, or scarlet fever. It may not show up until several months later.

Sometimes it develops without any obvious explanation. In acute attacks of nephritis the symptoms come on rapidly painlessly. The patient feels uncomfortable and may notice puffiness under the eyes. Swelling of the lower part of the legs, perhaps bloody urine, headaches, loss of appetite, slight fever and chilly sensations are common. The lessened amount of urine and its dark, bloody or cloudy appearance, arc characteristic.

Chronic nephritis starts gradually. Us symptoms rcscm--" I bio the acute variety but arc less severe. of.ten follows of acute nephritis. 1 A.s soon as diagnosis has been made- by examining the urine and 1 blood, treatment should bfgm. In acute Bright's dij.ea.si, bed rest is necessary.

In the chronic form of Bright's disease, special attention is given i to the accumulation of dropsical fluid. Drugs are sometimes used to 'stimulate the secretion of the wine' and thereby remove some of the excessive fluid. Accumulated fluid inside the abdomen is often drawn 1 off through a needle. The treatment of nephritis has improved over the years.

In that which follows acute infections, new- hope is offered by the antibiotics. They may often stop such infections before they have had a chance to damage the kidneys seriously. But chronic nephritis, which is probably a Mrs. is suffering from, require? careful and painstaking treatments.
