Postal Employes Inquiry May Define "Disloyalty" The question of just what constitutes disloyalty in a government employe is finally going to be asked, and perhaps answered, in a federal court.

Twenty- lix Post Office workers now under of whom have been challenging the loyalty program's constitutionality in a suit against the attorney general, postmaster general, chairman of the Loyalty Review Board and other government officials. Thii test is as right as It was inevitable, for the question is not only important but decidedly ticklish. Government loyalty investigations are not legal trials, of course. A finding of disloyalty carries no legal penalties. Yet there are penalties, as one may easily imagine.

A person discharged for.disloyalty is under a severe economic handicap, even though the charges? against him are found to warrant no more serious action than dismissal. For when this person applies for another job his past record carries the stigma disloyalty. That black mark might not prevent him from ever finding work, but it would certainly limit his choice of and, all likelihood, his earning power. In short, the stigma of dismissal might be as much of a burden as a prison record. Whether this is a just desert for a pwnon judged disloyal but not traitorous is now a matter of personal opinion.

But certainly it suggests a need for great care, scrupulous fairness and proof an investigation which leads to that judgment. Seth W. Richardson, the Loyalty Review Board chairman, showed a commendable awareness of those responsibilities when he took his position two years ago. His statement of policy gave assurance that it was at least hi administrative purpose to see that were at hand and rights were respected. Whether this policy has always been observed at lower levels of operation remain to be seen.

The 26 plaintitts say that they are Victims of discrimination. They cite the fact that 12 of their number are Negroes and eight are Jews. Whether or not this charge is true wilt be brought out we trust, at their trial. But fairness of intent and action is not the basis of the suit, The 26 plaintiffs charge that the loyalty program violates the First, Fifth, Ninth and Tenth Amendments to the Constitution These have to do with guarantees of thought, speech, assembly and association, and with other rights not or delegated to the federal government by the Constitution. The implications of the suit go beyond the fate of these 26 men and beyond the question of how dangerous to the government their alleged disloyalty in the handling and carrying of mail.

It la going to to borderline territory of "liberal" thinking, leftist sympathies, innocent or knowing memberthip in "front" organizations, and actual espousal of communism. is going fo be necessary to make some sort of distinction and definition that will hold water. All this in turn is part of the bigger and still unresolved question: Should membership in the Communist Party be made illegal? Out federal laws do not say that it should. But many actions of our federal government imply that such membership illegal. The pertinent facts are all in.

But the application of those facts is too often left to the discretion of the authority of the moment. Perhaps the decision in this case of the 26 postmen will help to point a way out of the present confused situation. VIEWS OF OTHERS The Hope Beyond the Pact The war of peace maneuvers between Washington and Moscow should not be permitted to narrow our on western cooperation. The Judgment, general among western capitals, that Premier Stalin's move aimed to Impede and confute those' responsible for building a western defense Is probably accurate. But this momentary, Inevitable stress on military col among western peoples highlights only hall the picture.

It puts In shadow the naif which has to do with economic and political collaboration. The Btalln move may have caused some ot in to forget that It not only our military program to which the Kremlin objects. Soviet leadership opposes also our efforts for peaceful development of western political lite from a highly nationalized phase to a more rational form In keeping with progress in transportation, trade, communications, and, yes. Ironically, in the destructive arU. While Messrs.

Stalin, Acheson, Truman were exchanging and through the nondlplomatlo of the world's free press, Winston Churchill delivered a speech on "Western Union" which helped to put the focus right again. In It he described "Western Union" as a "stepplngstone to a united Europe." A few days, earlier the members of "Western France, Belgium, The Netherlands, and announced plana lor a Council of Europe. TWs is to include an executive body, appointed by the governments, and an assembly with advisory powers, elected by the peoples. To their plan Mr. Churchill proposed to add a Supreme Court of Europe, with special concern for enforcement of rights as against goverrnnent encroachment upon them.

The five tovernments' announcement of steps toward a new unity for Europe was reportedly blasted In a Soviet statement. The Kremlin looks upon It as part of a plan against the Soviet Union. What Moscow doea not recognize, or at any rate does not admit to the Russian people, la that the Kremlin has made a notable contribution to the very developments, both military and economlc- in the West of which Huwian Soviet propaganda Russian policy his provided the external danger which ia helping Europe to But that does not mean that the new unity has a warlike aim. On the contrary, the protection of western Europe's Internal peace, the advancement of cooperation among western nations, He back of the efforts for a united Europe. Both have long been needed.

The United States, to be sure, la pressing hard for European unity. But for American imperial purposes? No, for there la Important division In American opinion to, whether the "new Europe" ought to be an adjunct of American power or a "third force," a great neutral, balancing element between the United States and the Soviet Union. For the time being, because Soviet policy Is what It Is, Europe Is seeking security as put of a power bloc of which the United States is the mainstay. But there are aims which go far beyond this, and they are held by both Europeans and Americans. The Council of Europe stands today as their symbol, In a deeper sense than the Atlantic Pact can.

The latter is an emergency measure which we all hope will never have to be resorted to. But tnc Council of Europe stands for something of which civilized men have dreamed for start toward that "United States of Europe" which Victor Hugo foresaw as a forerunner of a "United States of the World."

This one fact has been a principal drawback to turning over the tovernment of Germany from mil- tary to civilian hands. General Ob.y's military government staff of 2400 Is now about per cent civilian.

As Germans qualify to take back more of their own affairs, the military contingent Is being further reduced in the U. S. zone. This is no great problem. The real problem Is in finding qualified men for the top jobs.

The casts of the three "land directors" or state governors to serve in the American rone under Oen- eral Olay provide excellent ples of what this problem In Hesse the director Is Dr. James R. Newman, a former school administrator in New York. He has been In military government since the occupation first began. He has stuck with it, which most of the military government officers not done.

He has given Hesse an excellent administration. Being an ex-educator, he has concentrated pirticulirly on teaching the people what democracy means and how It works. In Bavnrln the land director is Murray D. Van Wagoner, ex-governor of Michigan. An American politician, has concentrated on rebuilding Munich and other war-damaged cities.

The first sign of the disease Is likely to be fever, sometimes accompanied by a slightly chilly feeling. The typical blisters on the skin usually begin to appear within 24 hours or the first symptom. At first they are most common on the back or chest, but may begin on the forehead or face.

They generally start as raised reddish lumps. Alter about two days the contents of the blisters become pus-like and cloudy. Itching Prevalent There may be a good deal of uncomfortabc itching, especially in adults. In a few days the blisters become covered with a dark brownish crust which falls off and, as a rule, docs not leave scarring. The treatment of chickenpox is usually simple.

The disease, caused by virus, is spread by contact from a sick child to one who Is well and has never had the disease. For this ueason a child with chickenpox should be kept away from others and also should be kept In bed until the acute stage of the disease is over. Sometimes soothing lotions or powders are helpful to decrease the itching and scratching. Bandaging the hands, or otherwise preventing the very young child from touching the pox and possibly getting an unnecessary permanent scar, may be needed. Icy.

LaFolletle of Indiana. LaFollette has always been interested in labor affairs, and in Germany he followed a. policy of working through the labor unions to promote democracy. These widely varying policies in the three provinces of the American zone have no doubt added to the confusion of the German people. This kind of trial-and-error administration can get by in an established democracy like the United States, where the people can withstand an awful lot of bad local government.

In overseaa administration, chances of this kind can't be taken. Government has to be good, and it has to be right the first time more often than not. It must have consistent policy. And the man assigned to It must be trained to know what they're doing. During the war the Army ran a school of military 'government at University of Virginia, Charlottesville.

It trained hundreds of officers for the specific Job of moving Into liberated territory behind the fighting forces to restore local government. These men did an excellent Job till they were released on points and home. What seems to needed now Is another train- Ing school of the same kind.

However, under the Bol- shevist code there can be no division of supreme authority. Tito has to give all or nothing. Tito is reported to have conferred with British and Americans to see where he stands with the Western powers in event of hiore serious trouble with the Cominform.

Thera has been no confirmation on thli report, and the Western democracies appear to be maintaining an attitude of watchful waiting. What would the western powers do in event of an upheaval In Yugoslavia? of course that would depend on circumstances but I think we are safe in saying they would do everything in their power to isolate the trouble so that it wouldn't spread. They certainly would do their utmost to keep from becoming involved themselves. Probably the same thing would to their chairs. If Hollywood's movies get any worse, this may give thenler an Idea.
