World Watches i. S. Supreme Court
In Case of Restrictive Covenants

|spect for, and observance Of, human
rights and fundamental freedoms
for all, without discrimination as
to race. sex. language or religion
I do not need to point out that
the cases to be heard by our highest
court are not isolated incidents. The
practice of covenants" in real
estate transactions is widespread
throughout the Nation. Negroes are
not the only victims of it. Jews and
those of other minority groups also
suffer. zone might read Laura z
Hobson's best seller, "Gentleman's
Agreement
Only a month ago a particularly
vicious display of discrimination,
against Jew named Aaron Tuchin,
had it's setting in Bannockburn
Heights, an exclusive real estate de-
fvelopment just outside OF WASH
ington. Mr.. Tuchin had offended
certain elements of that restricted
area by buying a home and taking
his wife, who is non-Jewish, and
their three children to live there,
When Mr.. Tuchin refused to move
nine householders, including high
Federal official in the Office Of the
Bureau of the Budget, petitioned
the Montgomery County MD Cir
cult Court to restrain Mr.. Tuchin
and his family from living in his
newly acquired property. The nine
covenanters, who believe in the
Constitution every Fourth of July
asked the local court for relief
on the grounds that violation of the
real estate covenant by Mr.. Tuchin
was causing the plaintiffs "irrepar-
able damage" and was injurious.
Didn't Know Him Personally.
None of the five women and -four
men who signed the petition knew
Mr.. Tuchin personally. None OF
them even lived within half a mile
of him. 1t did not matter one whit
to them what happened to the nom
Jewish Mrs. Tuchin and the chill
dren, or if the thought occurred to
them, perhaps they hoped that she
might divorce him on the grounds
of desertion. All that mattered was
that Mr.. Tuchin was OF a different
racial strain.
Fortunately the plans of th'
plaintiffs went awry, under th'
glare. of adverse publicity. Th'
petition was grudgingly withdrawn
with the plaintiffs promising tina
they would resume their effort tt

"Cominform" as Dorothy Inom's'h'
an instrument for the rapid COM
munization of Europe, has been to
sweep the anti-Communists en-
masse into De Gaulle's camp. His
party hardly was born when the
"Cominform" gave to 1t the t1rst
clear majority In Paris OF any party
in a hundred years. This occurred
in spite of the fact that the French
Communists, like the Italian, ap-
parently have endless funds for
propaganda, employ them cleverly,
are able to pay organizers for every
district, and control-or are sup
posed .to-French trade unions.
But every man is alone In a voting
booth, and apparently the control
does not extend beyond the green
baize curtain. Many French work
ers must have voted for De Gaulle.
Probably It was less for De Gaulle
than against communism. but 1t
went, quite naturally, to the most
uneuuivocal anti Communist leader.
Greeks Scorned Left Wing.
It repeats a pattern. If the Greek
elections, which certainly were as
fair as any ever held in Greece, re-
turned a "reactionary'' government,
is that any proof that they were not
"democratic?" II democracy means
anything, it means the government
the people want. After the at
tempted left-wing coup in 1945, the
Greeks wanted the opposite Of that
movement.
Normally, the instinct Of self
governing people is toward the
golden mean. A long term of con-
servative government turns the
people left, and sufficient leftism
turns them right. Each experience
however, influences the succeeding
government; to some extent, the
left educates the right and vice
versa, and this is the pattern OF
evolutionary progress.
But extremisms cause the pendu-
lum to swing widely. Thus COM
munism in Italy and Germany was
not strong enough in the '2os to
capture power, but was trouble
some enough to make it almost
impossible for moderates to gov
ern. The answer then was fascism
This, in turn, created many Com
munists, but the reaction OF the
people against fascist violence in
cluded reaction against all violence
AS long as the people could take
communism watered down by Its
alliance with more moderate par
ties, they swallowed it. When 1t
stands out nakedly and aggressively
they retreat-and far. Communism
is thus more dangerous when
masked behind fellow travellers
and in a popular front" where
it gets the indirect support OF many
who are against what it opposes
but not for what it affirms.
Czech Parties Unite.
The reaction to the Comm
form" In France is echoed In
Czechoslovakia where the Com
munists, basking in places under
other names, have been the largest
party-profiting from the factional-
ism of the opposition. Now, the

The conference called for next
Monday was not unexpected, but the
first news of 1t came yesterday from
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio,
in Seattle, rather than from the
White House.

Whatever turn the Monday meet

it will be an orderly study of the
subject. rather than another of
those crash-landing conferences.
Senator Milikin was not invited
to the meeting but Is chairman of

fore they leave the United States
this would not be practicable.
"Our file indicates that Mr.. Elsie,
has been connected in some meas
ure with communistic organiza-
tions and the facts will therefore
have to be gone into very carefully
by the consul general when he
interviews Mr.. Eisler and his wife
I believe that it would be most
helpful to inform Mr.. and Mrs
Eisler that it would not be possible
to have a decision made in their
cases until they can proceed te
Cuba and appear before the consul
general. They would have To- OBJ
tain permission from the Cuban
authorities to enter that country
temporarily and they can then call
at the consulate general to apply
for visas.
They should, Of course, take with
them documentary evidence te
establish the facts in their cases and
to support their claims that they
are not involved in communistic
activities and that they do not have
affiliations and do not hold beliefs
which, under our immigration laws
would exclude them from favorable
consideration for visas. 1t Is i'm
possible, of course, for me to indi-
cate just what the nature of this
evidence should be-, but I think II
would be very desirable for them
to carry letters from some of their
responsible friends in this country
indicating that to their knowledge
and belief Mr.. and Mrs. Eisler do
not hold opinions which under our
immigration laws would exclude
them.
1T it is Mr.. Eisler's intention, as
I understand it is, to apply for q
nonquota visa as a professor, he
should, Of course, carry with him
specific evidence from the New
School Of Social Research of his
appointment as professor there.
This can very effectively be in the
form of a letter from the head OF
the New School Of Social Research
to the consul general of Habana
setting forth the appointment and
the salary which Mr.. Efsler is to
receive. 1t is also necessary, under
the law, to establish nonquota
status as professor, that he should
have available to present to the
consul general evidence concerning
his teaching activities during the
past two years and evidence regard
ing the institutions with which he
has been connected and to which
he is coming as bearing upon his
qualification as a professor of a COL
lege, academy, seminary or univers-
ity in the terms mentioned in the
law
"Mr. Eisler may be assured that
the department only desires that
the question of his qualification and
that of his wife to receive visas shall
be determined in the usual manner
by, the consular officer who is re-
sponsible under the law for deciding
this question. Mr.. and Mrs. Eisler

EvaH Elected Head
OF U. n. AssembIy's
Palestine Committee
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Sept. 25.-Dr
Herbert v. Evatt, Australia's Min
lister for External Affairs, today was
elected chairman of the extraor-
binary United Nations Assembly
Committee on Palestine.
DR.. Evatt suggested inviting rep
resentatives Of the Jewish Agency
for Palestine and the Arab Higher
Committee for Palestine to partici-
pate in discussions of the 55-nation
committee on the same terms which
were adopted at last springs special
Assembly sessions on Palestine.
His proposal was adopted without
opposition
Dr.. Evatt then called for a state
ment from the United Kingdom as
the county which rules Palestine
under a League OF Nations mandate
The British indicated they would
be prepared to speak tomorrow. Co
lonial Secretary Arthur Creech Jones
was expected to deliver Britains
main policy declaration.
Dr.. Evatt's election as chairman
had been assured when Canada IS
Lester B. Pearson indicated he
would not be able to serve. The
choice of Dr.. Evatt was unanimous,
but Yugoslavia said she would ab-
stain on the grounds that the chair
man should not be representative
Of the British Empire.
The Palestine Committee elected
Siamese Foreign Minister Artha-
kitti Banomyong as vice chairman
and Thor Thors of Iceland as rap
porteur.

with the State Department. He also
denounced a recent article by Mrs.
Roosevelt in the Ladies Home
Journal on the race question.
2. Committee Counsel Robert E.
Stripping charged that Hams Eisler's
employment as music teacher for
the New School for Social Research
In New York for several years be-
fore the war was "a subterfuge'
to remain in this country.
8. A committee investigator testi-
fed that Hams received $3.50 as
salary for music research at the
school out of $4,000 grant from
the Rockefeller Foundation, but
that the foundation stated in its
1910 report it had been assured Mr..
Eisler had no political connections,
but was interested only in music.
4. Chairman Thomas said he did
not think the State Department file
on the Hams Eisler case is COM
plete.
The committee revealed late yes
terday Mrs. Roosevelt's letter was
written to Sumner Welles, then
Undersecretary of State, who said
he referred it to Mr. Messersmith.
Note "StrictIy Routine"
Mrs. Roosevelt commented in New
York last night that the note to Mr..
Welles was strictly routine. She said
she did not know Eisler and did not
remember the note. Mrs. Roosevelt
made this statement:
The note to Sumner Welles SIM
ply passed for consideration a name

White House I had hundreds of
such requests month and, depend
Ing on the character of the request,
the letters were passed on to the
correct Government department.

fact don't remember the note
concerning him"
Mr.. STRIPPING told the committee
yesterday the musician was allowed
to enter and remain despite Labor
Department finding that he was a
Communist and after a special board
had recommended against his ad-
mission. The special board was
overruled by a board of appeals in
Washington, and a then pending

Cancelled
Admitted as Music Professor.
Eisler said he was admitted to the

sor of music and has devoted his time
to his art, including five years as a
composer in Hollywood for moving
pictures. Mr.. STRIPPING, committee
