the civilized world rejoiced over news of the death on Thursday of Reinhard Heydrich for that would be uncilivized: but we go so far as to say that untold mMions of men and women including some in Germany breathed a sigh of relief when they read the announcement that he had succumbed to wounds inflicted by a patriot of Prague three daya before Throughout all Europe Reinhard Heydrich at SS was known as "der henken" the hangman) or as the butcher of Bavaria" He had richly earned either title or both by his utter ruthlessness in carrying out orders of the German gestapo itself the most cruel and barbarous organization that ever functioned in any land There Is some satisfaction perhaps in the circumstance that he lingered three days before death ended his In which at least during conscious intervals he had Opportunity to review his career in butchery Reports from Prague state that three blood transfusions were given in an effort to save a life that had been devoted to the shedding of innocent blood but these proved for the reason that nowhere in Europe could be discovered blood of the Heydrich type And that is something that can be recorded in Europe's favor It is not likely that the hangman experienced a genuine change of heart during the time that elapsed between his wounding and his passing even so we are by no means certain that an eleventh hour conversion would have saved are unorthodox to that extent Our belief would be that when Reinhard Heydrich crossed over into the unknown realm and appeared at heaven's portal he was met by St Peter guardian of the gate with a firm rejection And as Heydrich departed we can imagine the stern but just guardian angel holding his nose with one hand and waving the Bavarian butcher out with the other saying between clenched teeth: "Back to the hell which spawned you and to the devil who was the model for your life on earth" And so the end of der benken It would hardly be fair to say the civiliz ed world rejoiced over

justice the natural expectation would be that these New Deal selections at least would see eye to eye That however is not the case on the contrary the term now drawing to a close has produced more split decisions than any other of record Five-four verdicts have cropped up on many occasions and unanimous decisions have been few and far between notwithstanding the "liberals" chosen by Mr Rooseveltare in complete control According to one Washington correspondent Jay Hayden two bitter personal feuds have developed during the past year one involving Justices Black and Frankfurter the other Justices Murphy and Jackson the last named quarrel is a hangover from the days when both men were in the department of justice Statistics show that in 45 divided opinions of the court Justices Black and Frankfurter have been on different sides 20 times in split verdicts Murphy and Jackson each wrote the opinion for his side four times Jackson subscribing to none of Murphy's findings and Murphy siding with Jackson but once Justice Owen Roberts sole remaining "conservative" from the old regime might have been expected to dissent most often from the 'liberal" New Dealers but as a matter of fact he landed with the majority 28 times and with the minority only 14 times Justice Douglas has been the most consistent dissenter with 20 cases in which he was on the losing side and 25 on the inning side We are not convinced that this proves anything in particular beyond the fact that lawyers continue to disagree on legal they always have disagreed and as likely they will contitwe for all future time to differ The public in general and litigants in particular would no doubt be better satisfied if all our supreme court's verdicts were unanimous thus leaving no room for doubt in the layman's mind But human nature being what it is this is entirely too much to expect A five-four decision of course is just as binding as one where the justices are all of one mind but it causes litigants to wonder how come the nine young men can not get together Supreme Court Differences With seven of the nine justices of the United States supreme court appointed by President Roose- reit and

-roSN Vase Salt Lake City: Please send us a RIIYMOGRAM that will teach us the correct pronunciatinn of that vexatinus word VASE Mrs FL Answer: As a Rnymogram let me quote part of a clever verse written many years ago by James Jeffrey Roche in which he tells of four young ladies visiting an art museum Tbey are from Kalamasno New York Philadelphia and Boston respectively They stand admiring a rare and beautiful vase: Long they worshipped but no one broke The sacred stillness until up spoke The Western one from the nameless place Who blushing said "What a lovely vase!" Over three faces a sad smile flew And they edged away from Katsina zoo But Gotham's haughty soul was stirred To crush the stranger it one small word Deftly hiding reproof in praise She cries 'Tis indeed a lovely vase!" But brief her unworthy triumph hen i The lofty one from the home of Penn With the consciousness of two grandpas Exclaims "it is quite a lovely vahz!" And glances around with an anxious thrill Awaiting the word of Beacon 1-lilL But the Boston maiden smiles courteously And gently murmurs "Oh pardon me I did not catch your remark because I was so entranced with that charming yaws!"

G-ZZat LdrJOt the world will' I waiter ummaniu have tt EnOW11 They know that we believe in freedom They know that we are capable of becoming very powerful But they do not yeti know whether we have the wisdom and the knowledge and the wllJ power and the perseverance to use ourItower in the cause of freedom THIS IS THE UNANSWERED! QUESTION IN THE MINDS OF MEN EVERYWHERE AND BE-1 CAUSE OF IT WE ARE IN ALL1 DEALINGS WEAKENED AND! THE WHOLE CONDUCT OF THE WAR IS HARDER Thus when the! peoples of the world read the! speech which Sumner Welles has just delivered they will note that Mr Welles was not only making a great declaration of American policy They will note that Mr Welles was aware that be must still debate the foundations of the policy with his own countrymen The voice of America is therefore too uncertain and unclear to be convincing Our voice is muffled and our actions are undermined because we can not be sure that we are moving towards a great peace and not towards another great debate in the senate of the United States This is the ghost from our past which haunts us wherever we turn whatever we say whenever we try to make any long plan for the conduct of the war or for the period of the armistice which will follow the war or for the settlement of the peace and the demobilization This ghost is not laid when public men stand up and say that no matter what they thought before since Dec 7 they have given unreserved support to the war The ghost continues to walk because nobody can forget the history of our actions from Nov 11 1918 to Dec 7 1941 The world remembers that on armistice day of the other war our flag was recognized throughout the -world as thesymbol of freedom on the one hand and of overwhelming force on the other We stood then where General Marshall says we are determined to stand at the end of this terrible struggle The world remembers that in the next 15 years -we dismantled our force and except for occasional pious words we rndoned the cause of law and order upon which the realities of freedom depend AND SO UNTIL WE CAN CARRY THE CONVICTION THAT THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN WE CAN NOT SPEAK CLEARLY OR ACT EFFECTIVELY Certainly we can not convince our Allies or the enemy peoples or the neutrals unless it is evident that we have convinced OURSELVES What does that mean? IT MEANS I SUBMIT THAT WE CAN NOT BE THE RELIABLE! CHAMPIONS OF FREEDOM JUST BECAUSE WE ADMIRE FREEDOM AND HAVE GREAT MILITARY FOWER The crucial question ic whether in Mr Welles' penetrating observation we are convinced that our own enlightened self-interest demands that we take our part in maintaining the law and order of the world There is no use telling the world that our hearts arli soft The question is whether our heads are hard For while we are let us hope generous and chivalrous in our intentions we need not no one will believe we shall act greatly over long stretches of time unless we feel it to be self-evident that this is the only sensible the only safe the only profitable way to act For the exaltations of war will pass And unless the promises we now make and the resolutions we take now have be- come ingrained in our common sense they will float away again as in 1919 upon thin air 'Uno Who' Gets Mad The army of jobholders seems to be growing even more rapidly than the army of fighting men JOURNALOGS New York gangster who shot one of his own pals by mistake got 20 3-ears That's thinning 'em out THE STRETCH When you get through stretching rubber Try this system with a smile: Do not whimper do not But just stretch your legs awhile Daly It begins to appear that the law of compensation is still functioning The house ways and means committee rules that hereafter a woman receiving alimony must return it as income and the man who pays it must be allowed to deduct it from his return This we read is Antinoise Week We hadn't heard of it on account of the noise Some of those bombs dropped on Cologne and Essen were in payment perhaps for those dropped on Malta in the course of some 2300 raids by the nasties Other Newspapers Views Among the industrial plants of Cologne bombed by the RAF was one engaged in the manufacture of poison gas which Hitler claims Germany has no intention of using In this case demolition of the factory need not be regarded as of very great importance JUST FOLKS By Edgar Guest OUR HISTORY If these simple safety rules are heeded it is certain that accidents will be held to a probably human lives will be saved The Journal suggests that every bicycle owner young or old make it a point to memorize the above safety then scrupulously carry them out Miss Myrna Loy (in private life she was Mrs Arthur Hornblow) journeyed out to Reno and got a divorce after a ten-minute hearing showing that she is a fast worker off the stage as well as on it Can it be possible there is a real Thin Man in Miss Loys life?

We thought Henry Wallace was vice president not secretary of Discouraging Figures ACTION IS DISAPPOINTING The sweeping manner In which the house ways and means committee has rejected the treasury's proposals to tax the interest on state municipal and other public securities is most disappointing The treasury had urged removal of existing exemptions from both outstanding and future issues of this kind Now the committee opposes taxing caber There is a strong case against taxing present securities issued with a tax-free provision and purchased in good faith by investors relying on that assurance These bonds because they are tax-free have enabled states and other governmental bodies to obtain revenue at low rates of interest They have been bought in large part by life insurance companies and other fiduciary institutions because of the element of safety and the assurance of a steady yield The extent to which they have been purchased by individuals of large wealth in order to avoid income taxes has been much exaggerated Tax-free securties deprive the federal government of revenue which must be made up by the mass of taxpayers most of them of small means The privilege with regard to future issues by states and municipalities should be withdrawn just as has been done concerning future federal issues There is no reason why the house committee should not have discriminated between outstanding bonds and future issues and made only the latter subject to federal income taxes It would be most unfortunate should its action block this imperatively needed Inquirer And what of us hall writers pen A century away?
