What Is Justice? Leasee tor September A IM* Everybody is to t»vor ot justice but not everybody knows what justice to. Justice Is more fundamental than democracy. K we believe that democracy Is the best form of government, it Is only because we believe that justice can be better secured to Inia way than in any ether. • • • Justire Is as old as God Since for at least 3,000 years historians. politic: sr.s, philosophers

Dr. Foreman

and theologians have been wrangling over the meaning of justice, you won t loam the last word about it merely by studying one Sunday school looson. But this is the piece to remind ourselves that justiee as an Meal, and democracy as

It was written to their laws, preached by their prophets, sung to toeir I Psalms. But of course they did not invent it They proclaimed it; but Justice is older than the human race. The whole Bible and Ml only too Old Testament teaches that justice is rooted in the nature of God himself. No unjust person san be called godly. e e o Sengs of Justice OUR Psalms tor this week give us some valuable light on what justice Is. Some people think that If everybody were rich, that would be juatice. Psalm 49 shows how foolish that notion is. It says in almost so many words. "Tou ean'l take It with you.” Riches do not apell happiness. Making everybody rich might mean making many people miserable. Money by Itself deee net care toe Ills of life, it may make them worse or even rreato new ones. Many a famfly in the "upper brackets'* has . troubtee that would vanish if they bad lews money. Psalms 73 and 91 give us mors positive suggestions. Psalm 71 sees it as the king's main duty to judge the people with righteousness and Justice The king was the government. in those days; he was the executive and the legislative and the Judicial branch of government all rolled into one. In modern terms, the business of government io something more than torniahing police to lock up and punish wrongs after they have been done The welfare of, the people Is the eoneerw of government When pub- < tic official, lake any other view of their Job. they are off the beam. In a democracy, the gevenmnent is V>e people, that to to say. ouroelves. If things are bed see are to Marne for rt; if they are going to be any bettor, we shall have to work for it Every appeal to a king, in the Old Testament, when translated into terms of a democratic country. means an appeal to the people. • • • The Utile Frepte JUSTICE always has to be con- ' J censed with the little people It was true in the simple little world of the ancient Hebrews, it to just 1 as true hs our global cosnpln world. that the strong wW always exploit the weak if there to net a hand to stop them.

Charles E. Wilson Marks SO Years Os G. E. Service

Charles Edward Wilson, president of the General Electric com- , pany, yesterday completed 50 years of service with the organization which he joined in 1899 as an office boy. Born Nov. 18, 188(1 in New York's lower west side, he left school when 12 years of age to help support his widowed mother, ■M rose steadily through the years to positions of increasing responsibility and in 1939 wag elected G-E president. Except for his wartime government service, when he terved as executive vice-chairman of the war production board with full authority over ail war production. Mr. Wilson has spent his entire career in the G-E organisation. Among his many recent activities for the government was heading Eresident Truman's civil rights committee, whose members studied and recommended new civil rights legislation to protect "all parts of our population.’’ Starting as an office boy at the Sprague Electric company. New York City, one of the organisations which went to make up General Electric, Wilson moved from position to position, learning everything he could. At night school he learned cost accounting, general accounting, and enrolled In successive corres|M>ndence courses in | engineering. The cost of his course in electrical engineering he balanced by tutoring backward students in physjes, mathematics, and other courses he had already completed He moved gradually up the ladder. becoming factory superintend-

VA Cracking Down On Training School Hit Fly-By-Night Schools For G. I.'s Washington. Sept. 2 — <VP> — The veterans administration cracked down today on all training schools established just to attract the ex-G. f. trade. It said in a policy statement that “schools must now be in operation on their own for at least a year before they accept veteran enrollees at government expense’ under the G. I. bill of rights. This means. VA said, "that un- j less the one-yegr minimum is met. veterans beginning training in such schools may not receive sub sistence allowances.'' VA’s statement skirted ail alley ations that its order was directed against fly-by-night schtada which have come into existence recently in the hopes of getting the government's dollar for veterans’ training. But one veterans' source summed It up this way; “Since the C. I. bill became law. training sch<s>L have mushroom ed. Many are legitimate training schools; some are rackets set up for the purpose of enticing the unemployed veteran Into learning and living at government expense.” This •cource said a recent survey dl»<-!o»ed that about 1,400 new training schoo’s had opened up during the fiscal year ended last June 30. VA’s policy is based on congressional revtrittons written into VA’s fiscal 1950 appropriation.

, ent. When 21 years old. he mar- - ried his childhood sweetheart, ) Elizabeth Maisch. They have an a- . dopted daughter. Margaret. i By 1923, Mr. Wilson had become managing engineer in charge of r General Electric's wire and conI duit business with headquarters at > Bridgeport, Conn, and in 1939 had , become manager of the merchandise department, in charge of engineering. manufacturing, and sales. He was elected a vice president of the company later that year, and in 1937 was named executive vice president, a new position involving responsibilities for all company departments. In 1939, he was elected president. and he took office on January i. 1940. succeeding Gerard Swope. Thus he became the fourth president of the company he had joined 40 years earlier. The other presidents were Charles A. Coffin, Jr., and Swope, . For two and one-half years Wilson served as president. Then, in September. 1942. with the United States struggling to increase production of war material, Mr. Wilson resigned all private business connections and went to Washington at the request of President Roosevelt, to become vice chairman of the WPB. Mr. Swope came out of retirement to resume the duties of G-E president. At the direction of President Roosevelt, Mr. Wilson became executive vice chairman of WPB in February. 1943. with full authority over all war production. As wartime boss of the huge U. 8. production effort, Wilson achieved some spectacular successes. In l>articular the aircraft, shipbuilding and munitions programs boomed under his direction. He served in this capacity until August 24, 1944, when his resignation was finally accepted by President Roosevelt. Returning to his prewar work, Wilson was again elected a director and president of i Genera) Electric on September 8, 1944. Mr Wilson is known to a majority of Decatur G-E employes. He visited the local plant in 1941. just prior to the erection of the new building at the corner of North Ninth street and Dayton avenue. — •- — — «Wll I IS II « —in I I—'

Barsov's Diary To State Department Diary Os Russian Deserter Studied Washington. Sept. 2 — (UP) — The pencil-scrawled diary of Anatol Barsov, the “repentant'' Russian deserter, haw fallen into the hands of th* stale department, it was learned today. (ifticials are at work on a translation in an effort to see whether, the dairy will shed further light on the mysterious case of the Red officer who deserted to the United Htates. and then voluntarily went back home to face the music. Examination of the diary marka the firat time that government agents have inspected any of the possessions which Barsov left in his Washington hotel room when he was arrested Aug. 17v Hs was held secretly at Elite 'Hand for five days, then flown to Austria and finally handed over to the Russians on Wednesday. Barsov left the diary, another notebook, a few clothes, a Russian novel, and his ahaving kit at the Alturas hotel. The diary 'was turned over to the state department by Edward F. Jones, assistant chief of the Time aud Life magaxine bureau here. Jones said his bureau had borrowed the diary from the Alturas uMuager Wednesday to translate It. He relinquished it after the manager. Mrs. Ethel K. AUteoa. told him she bad b»rn served with a court order requiring hnr to give the diary tv the state department. , Later it developed that the court order had been taken out, not by the state department, bur by the owners of the hotel. Apparently for their own protection they legally impounded Barsovs belongings, and directed tbe manager to surrender them to no one but the state department.
