look on the case as murder and returned a verdict of manslaughter with twenty years for the two gunmen and fifteen years for their accomplices to quote saturday night young men of the type of those involved in the tobias case have a natural fear of death and would be a good deal more careful if they thought that society would do unto them as they do untq their victims they are not greatly afraid of im prisonment for it is not the sort of thing to impress the juvenile imagination of those who have had no experi ence of it actually of course the punishment they will undergo is just as terrible but it is infinitely less striking to the youthful mind it is a sad travesty of justice that four selfcon fessed killers who entered a shop with loaded revolvers and when the victim offered resistance shot him should not be regarded as murderers and treated according to the laws of our land there is no place in a civilized society for such men now or fifteen or twenty years from now and the death penalty could never have been more deserved with both barrels those of us who listened to president trumans fireside chat on friday evening and his address to con gress the following afternoon were struck with his con demnation of the presidents of the two striking railway brotherhoods alvanley johnston and a f whitney the president pulled no punches when he told the world what he thought of them and his tone was no less bitter than that used by cordell hull against the japanese ambassadors on that fateful december 7 th in american history the two men were accused of knowingly caus ing a situation which affected the lives and wellbeing of thousands on this continent and in europe and asia he pictured the unemployment which a railway strike would bring m its wake here and the starvation which would be intensified overseas when no food could be shipped never have we heard a finer speech from a public figure on this side of the water as he proposed the only solution that could be for the government to take over the railways and to enact legislation mak ing it a federal offence to strike against the government he ended with a plea to congress to pass a bill authoriz ing individuals who struck against their government to be immediately inducted into the armed forces where they would he dealt with under army law we trust that the presidents plan will meet with approval and that it wifl stop the strikemadness which seems to be in peoples blood these days it is paradox- ical that we the people who fought and won a war and promised to show the world how a democracy triumphs should be unable to put our own peacetime house in order and get back to normal living a wonderful park perhaps we are too prone to ignore things at our own doorstep and we were stryck most forcibly by this on victoria day when we snuck through the back fence at the park to have a look at the motorcycle races from our vantage point on the south side of the park across from the grounds we had an excellent view of the track and the grandstand itself crowded with over 2500 people from many miles around it occurred to us then how fortunate georgetown is to have such a public beauty spot and what a pity that it has not been used more ir pas years however looks as if that is to be remedied this year with baseball both intermediate and juvenile very much in the lime light with the lions club show on dominon day week- snd and recreational council field day in sept the intermediates will be playing one game a week in the park until the end of the schedule in july
