Jus- tice demands otherwise—the fact that the Nazis are now beaten and cowering does not absolve them of their offenses. Policy demands otherwise—we cannot consistently cohdemn the inhumanity of communism if we condone the inhumanity of nazism. Therefore the case of Ilse Koch, wife of the former commandant of Buchenwald concentration camp, deserves atten- tion. This woman was .duly tried and sentenced to life imprisonment. Now this sentence has been com- muted to four years, after a review by the Judge Advocate General's Department of the United States Army, approved by General Clay. With the benefit of time already served, Frau Koch will be released on Oct. 18, 1949. | Part of the testimony against Frau Koch was _|that she had selected prisoners for death in order to 3 obtain lampshades made of tattooed human skin. This bR Rl |testimony is now disputed. If it was accepted at the original trial why was it not accepted now? The Army has not explained. The Communist press, here and abroad, is making the most of the episode. It may be that Frau Koch was merely a good !wife who brought her husband his slippers and saw that he was well fed after a hard day at his butcher’s office. 'The Army has not produced the facts to justify this supposition. It should do so, if it can. If Frau Koch in any way aided or encouraged the slaughter that went on at Buchenwald her original sentence was not severe. If she did not aid and en- }mumgc these horrible deeds why was she sentenced at all? It is up to General Clay to investigate and ito answer. We have had our fingers crossed on the outcome ! of the radio networks to free themselves “giveaway show.” However, the National Broadeasting Co.—which, incidentally, has shown a much greater sense of public responsibility than any of the others—has announced a new code which should handle giveaways in a very effective (and yery reasonable) manner. NBC will go a step beyond the code agreed upon by the National Association of Broadcasters and will impose a form of economic sanc- tions upon giveaways. This will br done in a simple form. tion of giveaway products will be regarded as part of the sponsor’s commercial time allowance. In other words, if the whoosis doodad company sponsors a give- away show in which the announcer spends 10 minutes mentioning all of the brands of goods to be given the listener who answers a ques 1 or identifies a tune, there will be no commercial time ot whoosis doodads. This strjkes to the very heart of the problem. The giveaways have flourished because the sponsors of the shows have gotten a great volume of products free— or, rather, free provided they are advertised by name, which in some instances represented a very cheap form of advertising. Networks with very low listener rat- ing at given periods found that by indulging the giveaway show they could “buy an audience.” It seemed, in some respects, to be as good as a perfected perpetual motion machine The inevitable result sooner or later, of course, is to conglomerate radio programs with direct and in- of the effort from the clutches of the Each men- left "l w h- ' to Eurcpe, mailed millions of demo- [in the United States is still $16 e aS lllg On {eracy letters to the people of West-|for a 40-hour week. ern Europe, given millions of dol- N Mel'fy-GO'ROlmd {lars in CARE packages, and shown U.
