settle the long- standing row over the merits of the newly developed scheme of garbage disposal by land-fill dumps through arbitration by experts rather than through a criminal proceeding was a wise and fair decision on -the part of all those concerned Sanitation Commissioner Carey Health Commissioner Rice and two corporations had been Indicted on the ground that several dumps In Queens were a nuisance and endangered pub 11c health Under a change of venue the case came up before Supreme Court Justice Wasservogel In the Bronx It was then that the parleys were initiated which led to arbitration Assistant District Attorney Shapiro who was prosecuting for Queens Assistant Corporation Counsel Bryan who was defending the city officials and lawyers for the corporations involved met with the Judge and agreed to have Dr Thomas Parran Jr Surgeon General of the United States appoint a board of four physicians outstanding In public health and an experienced sanitary engineer to Investigate the land fills which have been under fire Those named are the director of health of the Tennessee Valley Authority the director of the division of public health of the University of North School of Medicine the health commissioner of Baltimore the professor of bacteriology at Johns Hopkins University and the senior sanitary engineer of the United States Public Health Service certainly a most formidable list of experts This seems like the only scientific way to settle an Issue of this kinri It never belonged In the criminal courts Obviously the motives of Commissioner Carey were above question while the fears of near-by residents are easy to understand Now we shall have light instead of heat cast on the facts of the case If land fills are practical and not a nuisance It will quickly be determined Perhaps the Carey method needs to be modified In some details Whatever the decision may be It should satisfy both parties Involved for the competency and the Impartiality of the

three closely typewritten pages together with a bitter attack on the newspaperman Although Mr Ickes did discover numerous factual mistakes his performance struck Impartial observers as childish Mr

American Youth Congress has been widely criticized 'on the ground that It Is Communist-controlled and Communist In sympathy As a result one of the chief features of lta national convention here this week has been the explosion set off by determined efforts to smoke out the organization on this Issue On Monday 'critics within the fold sponsored a resolution to Include in the official creed of the Congress a declaration placing Communism on a level with Fascism and Nazlism as contrary to American Ideals It was voted down by acclamation Representatives of fourteen of the 135 participating organizations thereupon marched out of the hall declaring they were through with the Congress- The next day however unanimous was given to an alternative resolution "condemning all forms of dictatorship regardless of whether they he Communist Fascist Nazi or any other type" Promptly the group which had bolted the day before attacked the new resolution as "an empty face-saving gesture" and pointed out that It would not be accompanied by appropriate action "removing the control of the Congress from Communists and It Is noteworthy that a spokesman for the Young Communist League In the convention supported the- alternative resolution on the ground that "Communism does not stand Yor dictatorship but for the' greatest democracy" This will amaze Americans who are familiar with what has been golngeon In Russia and perhaps cast some light on the basis onSrfnlch the Communists In the Congress support! such an apparently antl-Communlst move We have noted many times that fascist-minded organizations always condemn Communism and forget to mention Fascism or Nazlism and that jCommunlst-minded groups condemn Fascism and Nazlism and conveniently forget to refer to the evils of Com-munlsm The Snly true test of an American-minded group dedicated to the principles of democracy is to oppose all three types of dictatorship For that of Stalin Is Just as oppressive Just as cruel Just as antithetic to the principles for which this Republic stands as are 'thosdof Hitler and Whenever an American group hedges and seems to dodge this lsie there Is gooiLyeason to be suspicious of its motives Frankly we find it difficult to rationalize the contrasting -actions on this subject by the American Youth Congress on two succeeding 'days Although the whole performance somehow seems to lack the ring of sin- cerity there can be no criticism of the action finally taken While opposing all dictatorships the congress pledges freedom of speech to' all "regardless of race creed religion or political and that lts meetings will be open on the same basis to all willing to abide by democratic procedure That is real American doctrine IS- -'i Corcoran ghosted or advised on the masterpiece

playground system under the direction of Commissioner Moseg Yet even this popular program has been criticized In some quarters because of the expense Involved and on the theory that it Is a municipal luxury rather than a necessity Such an attitude Is effectively spiked by the figures quoted by Mr Moses In an article In the current Issue of Neighborhood Health published by the Health Department In 1933 before the expansion of playgrounds and other recreational facilities was commenced by Mr Moses $here were 8239 arrests for juvenile delta-' quency while In 1938 that figure had shrunk to 3063 In
