CLARE BOOTHE LUCE DEFENDS RIGHT TO INSERT STATEMENT OF COL. TRUMAN SMITH, U. s. ARMY. RETIRED, IN

 U. s. ARMY, RETIRED, IN
 CONGRESSIONAL
 RECORD
 Congress of the United States
 House of Representatives
 Washington. D. c.
 May 20. 1946
 Editor of the Democrat:
 Mrs. Marion Potter of Bellehaven, Greenwich, has been circulating letter through the State and to the Connecticut papers condemning my insertion into the Congressional Record of a statement from Colonel Truman Smith, U. s. Army, retired, in which, as 8 constituent and as an authority on military intelligence he drew attention to the fact that the establishing of United Nations Headquarters extraterritorial er1- clave in Connecticut might create a grave danger to the security of the United States due to the great stra- tegic importance of the area.
 In view of the publicity given Mrs. Potter's letter, I feel that in the public interest 1t is necessary to point out certain facts not included in her statement.
 The question Colonel Smith asks: Would the establishing of United Nations Headquarters in Connecti- cut create a potential danger to the security of the United States in an area of great strategic importance; has nothing whatsoever to do with anyone's opinion of him in any ca- pacity other than as an expertly trained authority on military intel ] ligence.
 It was Colonel Smiths background as an intelligence officer which made the insertion of his letter into the Record duty required of me both as his Representative and as an official sworn to defend tht United States against all enemies foreign and domestic.
 Colonel Smiths Knowledge of his profession Is atteSted by the cita. ton awarding him the Distinguished Service Medal in January, 1946 which was presented to him bl General of the Army George c Marshall, Chief of Staff, in his pres ence of Secretary of War Stimsor and other top-ranking officials. Tht citation follows:
 Colonel Truman Smith, CSC, U. s. Army, rendered distinguished service to the United States Gov- ernment. AS military attache tt Germany during the fateful period from August 1895 to March 1889, Colonel Smith accurately reported Nazi Germany's rapidly growing military strength and intentions and greatly facilitated the efforts

 It withers without exercise: Its great prerequisite and need Is those who think of what they

An Old American Custom

A Moscow commentator, in listing some of the things that the Russian people found with the world year after VIE Day. asked why figures in the United States ana Canada speak out in defense of Mikhaiovitch.
 That fair and natural question for Russians to ask And having been reared in carefully insulated environ ment they would find it hard understand that in the United States and Canada the states accusation of teacn cry against man is not tantamount verdict of guilty
 They would find it equally hard to comprehend that when an ally is suddenly accused of being doubledeang traitor gres in the United States and Canada accus toned to ask proo-even humble unofficial figures Not only that but they allowed to speak out in defense o man accused by the state and to speak out boldly pub licIy and without fear.
 All of which probably seems undscipined anarcnstc @ and downright silly to the average Russian czen who like some of the rest of us finds the world today rather bafng and disturbing though for somewhat different reasons
