What Price
Loyalty?
¥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
ter, the Brooklyn clothing salesman who spotted the fugitive Senato7 Estes Kefauver of Tennes- datTtoday'
bank robber Willie Sutton and pointed him out to police, see today was in the position of
