Tribute Paid To British Magistrate
Editorial in America’s “Saturday Evening Post” on the refusal of Britain to extradite Gerhard Eisler: “It is a pity that there is so little known over here of the nature of British magistrates that even United States Senators talked as if they suspected Sir Laurence Dunne (Bow Street magistrate) either of being a Left Winger or being intimidated by Communistic pickets.' “Actually, Sir Laurence is a casehardened Tory judge who made his decision without being influenced by the fact that the prisoner was a Communist or that England owes America a lot of dough, and expects to get more . . . With more judges and politicians like Sir Laurence around, the world would’ be a lot better off.”
