What Price
Loyalty?
I'N THE LAST few years the people of the United States
■“• have aroused themselves to meet the challenge of com
munism, whether open or secret. Outraged by the attacks
on their society, they have risen to repel the danger. The
same alertness, the same moral courage, the same effctive
counter-attack by publicity and legal process are now re
quired to answer the arrogant challenge of the criminal un
derworld. If any doubt of this necessity existed, it has been
removed by recent outrages designed to silence citizens who
have dared aid the law.
The bomb slaying of Mr. and Mrs. Homer Wright in
New Haven is only the latest of these attacks on citizens who
express their loyalty in active, courageous support of the
law. Mr. Wright had thwarted a holdup and was to be the
chief witness. The accused had been released on bail, and
had tried to suppress Mr. Wright’s testimony by bribery.
Then a bomb was planted in the Wright truck.
This comes hard on top of the shooting of Arnold Schus-
Negotiators Withdraw
Into- Shell of Secrecy
Munsan, Korea, March 25—<-5*)—
Korean truce negotiators drew a
curtain of seci’ecy today across
their talks on exchanging prison
ers of war.
“The negotiations are being con
ducted in secrecy or privacy, but
the x-esults if any will be publish
ed,” said Bi’ig. Gen. William P.
Nuckols, U.N. command spokes
man.
The news blackout was estab
lished in an effort to break one of
three deadlocks preventing - agree
ment on an armistice. The theory
is: negotiators will talk more
readily compromises if they are out
of the propaganda limelight.

But it deadlocked on the key issue
of whether Russia should be i*ec-
ognized as a neutral nation super

No secrecy is involved in these
talks. The Reds rebuffed an Al

The, Allies suggested each side
name only two neutrals instead of
three.
The Communists insisted Rus

Don O. Dai’row implied that the

There was no hint whether pi’o-
