Where Are the Traitors—and Why?
AN American woman named Jane Anderson, who broad*
** cast for the Nazis during the war as "Lady Ha Ha,”
has been released from an American prison in Austria. She
was arrested last April. On Sept. HO, the justice department
released her from an indictment for treason.
Miss Anderson’s happy fate sent us checking back on
ionic of the other Americans who sat out the war in axis
capitals, broadcasting apjieals to the American forces to
urrender. The result was not heartening.
Of the 14 that wc remembered only one, Douglas
('handler, has been sentenced to life imprisonment. Ezra
i’ound. the poet who peddled Mussolini's propaganda, has
1 cen committed to an insane asylum. Robert If. Host has
teen arrested but still not tried. Fred Kaltcnbach was in
iussian hands the last time lie was heard of.
Here is what happended to some of the Americans who
tooged for Hitler on the Nazi radio. Constance Drexel,
Idward L. Delaney, Herbert Rurgman, Max Koischwitz
. nd Donald Day have all been released by the justice do-
! artment. The reason given in some cases was "lack of
•valence”; in others, an inability to find witnesses; in
lay'a case the justice Department simply was “no longer
interested."
* * *
''jfISS DREXTEL was last reported to Ik- covering the
* united nations as a free-lance, and writing a book on
' disarmament.” Day also has improved some of his shining
i'ours of freedom by doing a book which is published in
I wedish.
The Tokyo branch of this traitorous crew, through less
'umerous, has fared just as well. 'Phi* notorious Tokyo
lose and Robert Chisholm have been released by the justice
department. Mark Streeter,*arrested in 1945, has yet to be
tried. Carl Flick has disappeared.
It is interesting to note the contrast between this
ovemment’s loving and forgiving attitude toward those
'/Ivo worked for its defeat, and the British government’s
nethod. »
The British have tried six and hanged two—-William j
("Lord Haw Haw") Joyce and John Amery, son of hi
ormer secretary of state for India. If has sentenced another
!o hang. It has given a fourth a 10-year prison sentence,
uid the other two five years in jail.
Our justice department’s excuses for its leniency seem
woefully weak. Wh.it better evidence or witness is needed
than the damning broadcasts of those who have been
arrested and released? Or didn’t anyone—the OSS, the
FBI, or our civilian broadcasters—even bother to record
this evidence?
# * *
vyHY have these people gone scot-free? Wc still keep our
conscientious objectors in jail. But their wartime role
was passive. Through cowardice or religious scruples or
other personal reasons, they refused to fight. But the
enemy’s American broadcasters were not cowards. They
joined the axis cause and tried to bring about the downfall
of their country.
Is it laziness, indifference or incompetence that has
won them their freedom? Or has our government so noon
forgotten that wc ever had other enemies besides Russia?
Has it lost sight of the fact that there is other disloyalty
Ilian membership in the Communist party?
We do not think it is bloodthirsty to suggest that some
of these followers of the defeated enemy—who apparently
have been dismissed as harmless crackpots—at lease be
brought to justice. To dismiss them as being of no present
interest must give comfort to those who still subscribe
to the defeated enemy's doctrines. Certainly it pays poor
tribute to the memory of those who gave their lives to
opixise those doctrines and to preserve the America whose
freedom the Drcxels and Days and the rest are now en-
joying. _____

that hr had been married for some
time to Avis Vaughn, our glamor
star, and that she refused to divorce
him. Jeff wanted Madge Namry,
who looked Uke Avis, to play her
sister in the film, but the star in-
sisted on doing both roles herweif.
Lit Leyden, my unpleasant rolls-

my place that evening when he

IIOLLYWOOD. Dec. 14 —(U.f»—
^ A hair-do for a movie begin-
ner requires a day’s planning and
consultation with at least four dif-
ferent executives.
Larry Germaine, Selznick studio
hair-stylist, starts toy studying the
player's face. He sees what kind of
hair she has, how it grows and how
it takes a curl.
Then he talks It over with the
star, the producer and the direc-
tor. He finds out what kind of girl
she is. what kind of movie part she’s
supposed to play and what con-
ception they have of the part and
the appropriate hair-do.
Then he talks with the wardrobe
chief to find out what kind of
clothes the hair-do lias to match.
Finally he sketches his ideas.
And after he executes them they
get a screen test which must be
okayed by studio executives.
The hairdress (bey eventually
choose, he said, la the one that
best brUigs out on actress’ natural
personality.
Oermalnc, who has been hair-
dresser for such stars as Lana
Turner, Jutjy Garland. Norma
Shearer. Greer Garson and Ingrid
Bergman, gives the stars under Ills
care a dally shampoo with a pure
cas.ile preparation and vinegar
rinse. Jennifer Jones, whom he
worked on during filming of David
O. Selznlck’s "Portrait, of Jennie,”
got a special doctor's prescription
as well.
'Tier hair has lots of body and
It’s naturally curly,” Germaine
said. "Sometimes that's a disad-
vantage because the curls Insist on
going the wrong way.”
Germaine works on her hair two
hours every morning. While he
works Miss Jones studies her script,
telephones constantly and listens
to the radio.
He said they often argue over
how to do her hair. She likes bangs:
he doesn’t.
The best hairdress, however, is
only a frame for a beautiful pic-,
ture. And so the starlet moves to
the make-up department.

Behind the Scenes
In Washington
BY TETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
Washington;* d. c.—(nea>—The old question"'** bow Mg $
w fleet of merchant passenger ships, freighters and tankers the
United States should operate—and how much shipbuilders and oper-
ators should be subsidized by the government—is again hot. Half a
dozen sparks have fired up the boilers and raised •
head ol steam.
1. The Geneva agreement,'under which tariffs
on three-fourths of America's imports -will be re-
duced Jan. 1, 1948. While many U. S. manufacturers
fight all thought of protective tariff cuts, shipping
i interests see only good in it. They believe lower
trade barriers can lead only to increased world
business. And most government officials believe
greater U. S. imports are necessary to relieve the
rest of the world's dollar shortages and balance
trade.
______ W 2- Early adoption of the Marshall Plan. This is
> expected to assure continuance of heavy relief
shipments over the next four years. President Truman has already
asked Congress to extend Maritime Commission authority to operate,
charter and sell government-owned vessels until June 30, 1949. This
authority is due fo expire Feb. 29. 1948.
0 THE unexpectedly heavy consumption of fuel oil and- gasoline.’
which has made necessary the recommissioning of ntarly 10©
tankers laid up in the inactive fleet. At the end of the war surplus
tankers were offered for sale to U. S. buyers. Those not sold were
disposed of to foreign buyers. Now there is pressure to stop these
sales abroad, so the tankers can be put in U. S. service.
4. A pending Interstate Commerce Commission decision on the
petition of coastwise shippers for adjustment of rail and ship rates.
Shipping interests want a higher rate for themselves. Also, an end
lo the railroads' practice of juggling rates so as to charge less freight
on lines competing with water routes. If ICC ends this discrimination,
an increase in coastwise shipping is likely. _ •
(to 5. The new report from President Truman's Advisory Committee
on Merchant Marine, headed by K. T. Keller of Chrysler. U recom-
mends a four-year, (600 million -program to-build-46 passenger
ships and 200 cargo vessels to replace 20-year-old freighters,
v. All the foregoing are positive factors, indicating a continuing-booth
in shipping. There is one bearish influence: . ____
•> 6. This is an effort to amend the wage-hour law to provide a four-
shift, 42-hour work-week for seamen. It would replace the present
Ihrce-shift, 56-hour week at sea and the 40-hour week in port. If this
change in the law is approved, it would mean a one-third increase in
crews and costs on U. S. flaeships. This, in turn, would make it
harder for the U. S. merchant marine to compete with foreign flag-
ships. which already have lower pay scales and operating costs. .Or
it would mean increased U. S. operating subsidies.
_ •-— —----- —
'T'HE question of how big a fle<-i Hie U. S. should maintain for
lA national security Iibs been argued back and forth in Congress for
many years. Main impact of the Keller report is to revive interest in
the subject, and make old recommendations seem new. Congrats

mission report in 1938 laid out a long-range shipbuilding program

Ito In June. 1946, the Maritime Commission reviewed its program in
the light of expected peacetime traffic. It recommended construction
of 58 new passenger ships and 86 fast new freighters. The Keller
report merely revises this to 46 passenger ships and 200 freighters—
50 a year for four years. — _

old long-range Maritime Commission program will again be set in
