Forgotten Humanity —- Sih a an weakness to hide our heads and ignore un- *% pleasant things. A glaring example of this ostrich trait has come to light in the current series of stories by David Watson, Times reporter, on some disturbingly unsavory conditions at the Ft. Wayne School for Feeble Minded - Youth: : it's another story of how the government and society in general, busy with selfish affairs of their own, choose to ignore an unpleasant socigl problem rather than try to do something about it, hp Observations inside the institution disclose that most of the personnel is sadly lacking in training and disposition for the delicate job of handling unfortunate citizens who are not equipped mentally to manage their own lives outside an institution, 4 -

IN ADDITION to untrained personnel, these close-up observations show there are not enough supervisors to see that any patient gets proper medical attention or other treatment that might restore many of them to some useful life outside the institution's walfs, : The fault for these conditions lies with almost everybody.- y “ A reform program would require more social consciousness on the part of all citizens in order to support a budget sufficient to finance improved personnel and increase ‘the staffs. However, an increased budget would be a waste of | money if it were not spent wisely by an administration sincerely interested in improving the care of the state's unfortunates. : :

Wiké most bullies she is brave | when she is on top, but she lacks the moral courage | "to stand up in court when she is caught. So now she boycotts the United Nations Security Council which has voted t3 hear the charges brought against her by the Western “Powers. She did the same when the Security Council two years ago heard Iran's charges against her. Thus by her own act Russia convicts herself. Even if the present Allied charges were untrue, she still would be guilty of the crime of defying the international authority the United-Nations, to- which she pledged herself.- That. is a most heinous crime. If Russia can get away with it, 80 can others. Then there would be no United Nations left. That is what killed the old League of Nations. The aggressions of Italy and Japan were an invitation to Hitler. . In this case the willingness of the Western Powers to submit the dispute to the United Nations, and the refusal of Russia to do so, are sufficient proof of the sincerity of B the Allies and the duplicity of Russia. The fact that Russia Security Council makes Soviet objection to mere hearings all the more self-incriminating. )

EVEN THOUGH Russia carries out “her ‘announced boycott of the hearings, they will not be one-sided. For Moscow's alleged defense is already before the Security Council in the form of arguments by the Soviet and Ukrainfan spokesmen against the hearings. The Soviet announce: ments and notes on the Berlin dispute also.are available. The Red defénse in brief is that there is no Berlin blockade or coercion, and if there were the jurisdiction would rest with the Big Four rather than the United © Nations. Denial that she is blockading the Allied areas of Berlin is such an obvious lie it merits no discussion. But the matter of jurisdiction caffnot be so obvious to the ordinary citizen, It is true that the United Nations charter gives the occupation powers, rather than the Security Council, au- . thority over Germany as such. But the Soviet use of coercion, is not against Germany; it is against the Allies. That is ‘what threatens international peace and security, which is the primary responsibility. of the Security Louncil. "That United Nations authority has now been confirmed by the unanimous vote of all-non-Communist members of the council.

DEWEY'S CABINET . . . By Marquis Childs

Dulles Under Attack | | |} From Two Directions | ne

A month later, and a little peeved by this time, the subject was revived. “Our readers,’ it said somewhat hopefully, “have perhaps noticed that we avoid the word ‘depot’ when speaking of the Union Passenger Station. (‘Depot is a French word signifying a town or place where goods 'are lodged for safekeeping or for reshipment. We believe in calling things by their right names and we shall call it: the Union Station or Union Passenger Station.”

AND LEST there be any misunderstanding this time, it went on to point out that it is depreciating humanity to lump it with goods and chattels which, for some réason, have to be guarded or reshipped. ; Even that didn't do any good. Unmindful of the Journal's constructive criticism, the people went right on calling it a “depot.” Indeed, it wasn’t until about 40 years ago when the whole world showsd signs of falling apart by way of ! earthquakes, that the citizens of Indianapolis gradually and somewhat grudgingly accepted the Journal's point of view: The word “Propylaeum’” was less of a bust. When Mrs. May Wright Sewall first dazzled us with the new sound, it caught everybody napping. For one thing. nobody could figure out its meaning —let alone its pronunciation. However, evervbody agreed that it was a syn thetic word like ‘“‘Sapolio,” for instance, or “Peruna’” dr “Castoria.” When it was rumored that the word came straight out of the dictionary without any retouching on the part of Mrs.

" “Iron Curtain on Medicine’

By N. E. 0, City 1 was pleased to notice space was finally given to a cause that has been pushed aside for too long a time. An Indianapolis newspaper published a letter from a subscriber pointing out the “iron curtain” that surrounds the actions of the Indiana Medical Association. 1, too, have had a similar experience. For over 16 years we have enjoyed the services of a certain man, The Medical Association saw fit to revoke his license. He applied again in June but was told only that his license had not been reinstated. v Patients have written the “board” but have received . meaningless replies. They will not even tell us why we have been deprived of the services of one in whom we have faith. ' Physical troubles that have been controlled by his method have returned. When we had - not been satisfactorily treated before going to him and when he had restored our faith in the possibilities of ‘healing our ills, the Indiana Medical Association is again destroying that faith. * It is time that we, as citizens of Indiana be given some consideration and facts in the handling of applications of the Indiana Medical Association.

Everyone I talk to, every paper I read, every radio cast express the same; overrin by crime, murder, rapes, holdups, robbery and serooked politics seems to have stupefied the people here, They have lost faith in law and the right to its protection.

Legalize Gambling By Mrs. Collins

I know that Indianapolis has some very dark streets and bad alleys where men or women can be waylaid. ) If Indianapolis would wake up and cut loose from the Church Federation, Chamber of Commerce and a few other organizations, we could legalize gambling and pay for the proper methods to protect our decent thinking citizens, our children and property.

Until recently it was regarded as a certainty beyond any doubt that Mr. ‘Dulles would be Mr. Dewey's secretary of state, But of late he has been the target of attacks that have come from two directions. From both the left and the right and for entirely opposite reasons the cross-fire has concentrated on Mr, Dulles. zo ‘ T6 the left, and especially the extreme left, Mr. Dulles is a terrifying Halloween bogey representing monopoly capitalism, intriguing cartels. and. sinister Fascist..conspiracy.- At. the.

that Mr. Dulles was responsible for the appointment of Alger Hiss, accused before the House Un-American Activities Committee of being a Communist, to head the Carnegie Foundation. Opposition to Mr. Dulles comes also from those both in Washington and Berlin who are ardent in support of Gen, Lucius D. Clay's policy of Armness in the German capital. They look on Mr. Dulles with dark suspicion. A memorandum of an off-the-record talk which he made before the Overseas Press Club in New York was sent to Berlin and is frequently cited as proof of

his opposition to the Clay policy.
