Armed Services Code (New York Times) President Truman ha ssigned the new unified code of military justice for the three nrm_ed services. This new code was praised by the President as an example of real unification. It was likewise laudedi by Defense Secretary Johnson for providing some | marked improvement in the administration of justice ' without hampering military functions. Its provisions for a civilian court of appeal, for cross-examination at pre-trial hearings and for the presence of enlisted men on courts-martial will win wide apptause But the code, good as it is, does not go far enough in its changes. In one important respect, especially, it fails short. It retains the command control of the of today and also perhaps you will of yourself than court-martial. The court is actually appointed and convened by a commanding officer of the individual to be tried. This necessarily leaves the system open to the charge of the possible presence of prejudice or om time to time.

Percy Crosby of Chevy Chase, A tabulation of results for the| publiched the exact number of Jap ships and gave their names. Obviously the Navy’s possession of this advance information was due to superior intelligence work. In fact, it became known after the| war that the Navy's amazing know-| ledge was because we were ‘break-| ing Japan’s secret code. This permitted the Navy to bring | ships and planes from all over! the Pacific two weéks in advance of the battle and concentrate them sat Midway. The west coast of the U. S. A. was left almost unguarded. Had the Japs become aware of what was happening and shifted their tactics, the cities of Los An- geles, San Francisco, Seattle, etc., would have been defenseless. But the American system of breaking Japanese codes worked so perfectly that the U. S. Navy knew, two weeks in advance, the name of every ship in the Japanese fleet which was steaming to Midway. Vital Secret Published Result of that battle is well known. The Japs took a terrific licking and the tide of the Pacific war was turned. Not so well known, however, is the manner in which the Chicago Tribune’s Stan- ley Johnston revealed the Navy's secret. Johnston had been aboard the ill-fated Lexington which sank in the battle of the Coral Sea, was! taken aboard another ship which rushed north to participate in the| battle of Midway. While on this ship he learned that the Navy knew in advance the Japs were preparing to attack. i After landing in the United Btates where he was not under lhel ! | Md., is stopping at the Gastineau Hotel. . Rent Control Hysteria Reporters missed a flurry on the edge of the Senate floor after rent control was extended. A disap- pointed landlady, anticipating a chance to raise rents, charged past guards, screaming hysterically: FIREPLACE WOOD—$20.00 a cord delivered. Photie 333. 29-1mo 1“Oh, what have you done to us!” The guards gave chase, caught her before she reached any of the senators. As she was escorted out, she flung a parting insult over her shoulder at Senator Myers of Pern- sylvania, who voted for remnt con- trol. “That fat slob Myers!” she yelled. The lady was from Philadelphia. Note—the man who engineered the rent control bill through the Senate was South Carelina’s effi- cient Burnet Maybank, who helped pioneer for better housing when he was mayor of Charleston, S. C. He didn’t make any loud speeches, but worked behind the scenes lin- ing up southerners whose inclina- tion was to vote against rent con- trol. Maybank even got Senator Gecrge of Georgia to promise not to oppose the bill “actively,” How- ever, George double-crossed May- bank after strong pressure from the real estate lobby.
