BY the Asseeieted Press

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, Sept. al
The Dean Of Canterbury-often re-
ferred to as "the Red Dean"-has

dean"
Prof. Perry reported that the
letter to the dean said many
American citizens were shocked to
learn that visa had been denied
you"
Letter Also Sent to Marshall.
The State Department indicated
at that time that the nature of the
sponsoring organization was the
basis for refusal of the visa.
The group now inviting the dean

sists of Episcopal and Methodist
bishops, other religious leaders, COL
lege presidents and others proml-
nent in cultural fields.

f,Isal of a visa to the dean seems
to us to have very grave implica-
tions for the American people"

partment to grant him the privi-
iege Of entering the United States
for a speaking engagement as the
guest of this committee II he ap-
plies for visa"

Keeping Secrets
Cincinnati Enquirer

 The United States has become a great world power, deeply involved in global politics It holds alone the secret knowledge of the atom bomb. Its intelligence servceswe hope-are accumuating vast body of hard~toget and valuable data on the equip ment capacities and intentions of various foreign na- tions Our armed forces at work on various new weapons All this increases greatly the need for strict est secrecy in the handling of information designs and plans.
 Yet just at such time when the need for rigorous secrecy is paramount, the Rules Committee of the House of Representatives is recommending Dill which would compel any executive agency of the gov ernment hand any information Tn It's possession at the request of any Congressional committee And each committee by majority vote, could make public any information so obtained.
 The Rules Committee is trying to sugar-coat this reckless step by subjecting committee members, as well as newspapernen year in jail and SlO0o fine for disclosure of information ruled to be confidential But this should not mislead anybody The Congress- man who whispers would be hard to appreheno ana impossible to convict. The newspaperman who print ed the information whispered to hm would pc sitting duck.
 Tho way to keen secrets is to confine them to nuhlic officers vigorously selected for their reliability and subject to the discipline of the services to wmch and with remarkable effectiveness-not py Vhrea.7 and with remarkable effetciveness-not by threats of fines not by censorship but simply by restricting information of value to the enemy to the few persons who need to know 1t.
 i The armed forces the State Department and some other agencies of government have developed stringent and effective methods of classifying information as to it's degree of secrecy and of protecting that secrecy All this will go by the board any committee or con gress can demand and get any information IL wants and then vote by simple majority to make 1t puohc
 ID he sure Congress is the paramount policy-m ing body of the nation Its members need accurate and complete information But in democratic society thev also need the utmost freedom of speech ana action They not, and cannot be- olscipliheo service trained to safeguard valuable secret data
 It would be pity if the present Congress, plqued by it's failure get FBI report on Dr. Edward U Condon should so remake the law as to shatter the entire system of safeguarding classified information in the executive departments Next year and for some time thereafter the President and the majority of Congress will be of the political party, no doubt Cooperation will insure that the committees of Con- gress will get the Information they need, without rule of law that the safes and locked files Tn all the agencies of government.
 It would seem wise to wait year, and then see II the problem has not evaporated with the change of political atmosphere

ON THE TRUMAN TAIN

At one stop, the President posed for pictures with two railroad con- ductors. Smiling, the President said, If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have a job" The con- ductor reminded Truman that all railroad employees are working for the President, thanks to the railroad strike threat. That's right" re- piled Truman. T hope it won't be for long" Most of the Tru- man speeches are being rewritten on the train by working Pres idential General Counsel Clark Clifford and Press Secretary Chair les Ross from drafts forwarded by brain trusters in Washington |. Truman was introduced at Fort Wayne by ex-Senator Sam Jack son of Indiana Jackson, now running for his old Senate seat, is the man who saved Truman's neck at the 1944 Chicago convention by hastily calling a recess just as Henry Wallace was about to be nominated for the e-Presidency At Crestline Ohio, swich- ing point, the President was intro duced by ex-Governor Frank Laus- che, also running for his old seat. Neither Jackson nor Lausche spoke for President Roosevelt in 1944.

FINLAND SCORES, SLIGHTLY

One cannot read the record of aggression In Europe over the years-Nazi or Communist aggres- son-y,ithout realizing that the Ministry of Interior is no proper place for enemy of the state to be lodged In most European countries the Minister Of Interior controls the police throughout the country That is why the Communists today would rather have the Interior Ministry, in a country marked out for seizure than any other cabinet portfolio except Premier.
 And that also is why the Films have been troubled at having Trio Leino a Communist as Minister of Interior. He using the office just as other Com munists, and Nazis before them used tito prepare the way for coup detat
 Skillfuly and firmly, President Juho Paasikivi and the Finnish Parliament maneuvered Leino out of his post They forced him out when he refused to resign gracefully but they did it without giving the Soviet Government any formal ground for complaint or intervention. Finnish Communists, to be sure, launched strikes in various industries.
 Rather than risk trouble, however, the Finnish leaders then appointed the wife of Leno, herself the real leader of Finnish Reds, to cabinet post without portfolio This makes the Communists of Finland happy It deprives Moscow of any possible basis for protest And still it gets rid of Minister of Interior who was nfltratng the police with Communists.
 Once more the Films have shown that courage and common sense can go long way to stave off Soviet aggression. In violent showdown of course, Russia could Finland lock- stock and barrel But short of that the Films have the wit and the stamina

words, the assignment of duplicate numbers had magnified the paper work 30 times.
 Even more serious, many install- ations were forced to shut down temporarily for lack of spare parts, although the parts were discovered later under different numbers. This happened to one of the powerful radar sets in Panama during the spring of 1942 when the canal was in constant danger of Jap attack. To thN. horror of the Army, it was discovered that the replacement part was not in stock A hurried telephone call was put through to Washington, and the missing part was ordered flown to Panama at once.
 Meanwhile. the stock officer, searching through his warehouses, discovered eight bins full of the identical article he had sent to Washington for But they were all stocked under different num- bers.

Secretary Grammar
Washington Post)

Given the prevailing direction of the political winds MT Charles F. Grammar may be only an interim Secretary of Agriculture, and may not in consequence carry as much weight with Capital Hill as he would in other times But this does not lessen the need for intelligent spokesman and panner on agricultural matters MT. Brannon has made avocation of con- servation including reclamation of agricultural land and his capable handling of variety of tasks assigned him also qualities him expert on long-range farm planning It has been said that he is lawyer who has demonstrated his ability to become an ad- mnistrator without being tied down by his legal training.
 It is especially encouraging to welcome MT. Bran nan as the second career employee member of the Cabinet. MT, Brannan reportedly former Secre- tary Andersons personal choice his successor, and the appointment thus provides needed continuity in departmental policy. Indeed it is within the Depart ment of Agriculture that MT Brannan may be able to do his best work in enlargng on one of the dis tinctiVe accomplishments of Secretary Anderson-the welding together of many divergent factions an efficient team.

TRUMAN MERRY-Co-RoUND

Secret Service has placed a
 double guard around the Truman
 train at each stop because of White
 House troubles with the railroad
 unions. They recall that during
 the 1920 rail strike, Woodrow Will
 son was subjected to much en- barrassment during a speaking tour
 when striking switchmen uncoup- led his private car, letting the rest of the train pull out of the sta- tion without him . The President has with him a draft of the Demo- cratic National Committees new s250 political handbook, The Pow CT of the People" by Senator Mo- Grath The 30 Truman "ex- temporaneous" speeches including a kicker line for local audiences were largely written in advance.

NO ARMY-NAyY UNIFICATIoN

The greatest argument in favor of Army Navy unification was pool ing of supplies. It was estimated that the taxpayers could be saved a lot of money if the Army and Navy bought their supplies to- gether instead of bidding against each other.
 However, Secretary of Defense Forrestal, supposedly a businessman, hasn't even accomplished this-de- spite the fact that he knew from recent war experiences how great this waste was.
 If the Armed Services kept single, Sears-Roebuck type of cata- ilogue of their supplies, it would bring about great saving. Back when he was still Secretary of the Navy, Forrestal, himself, di- rected the Navy to prepare a single system of cataloging, But he later ignored his own directive, and has done nothing more about it since taking over as Secretary of De- fense.
 The waste that has resulted from this lack of uniformity is astronom- ical. For example, $30,000 900
 worth of tubes were purchased by the Army in l942-enough to last | for ten years. Yet the following week another order was placed for .S60.o00. 900 worth of tubes-because the Army had to stock different types As result, Army ware 1 houses oyerflowed with tubes that varied only slightly from each other, maybe no more than prong spaced differently
 Yet, even this overflow was null tiplied a hundredfold by duplica- tion of stock numbers. Normally, 1 the manufacturers number would i be assigned to an article; so if 20 different manufacturers produe- ed the same article. 20 different numbers would be assigned and scattered through a dozen unrelated catalogues.
 The Army Signal Corps discover ed this duplication. and assigned 400 technical personnel to straight en out the records. After a three month analysis, they were able to
