UphOlds Subver- sive Decision

WASHINGTON, (P)-The U. s. court of appeals upheld the gov- ernments right to label certain groups "Subversive."
 The 2-to-l decision had handed down in the cast of the joint anti fascist refugee committee which had appealed to the courts after it was included on attorney general Clark's "Subversive list" two years ago.
 The appeals court affirmed the U. s. district court here in dismiss ing the refugee committees suit on a motion by the government.
 A list of alleged subsersive or ganizations was published by the attorney general in connection with the loyalty check on federal employees.
 Justice H. w. Edgerton filed a sharp dissent. He said that since the challenge was thrown out of the district court on a simple mo- ton to dismiss, the appeals court had to accept the statements of the joint anti-fascist refugee commit tee. It claimed it was a charitable organization.
 If this were true, EdgertOn said, to call, it subversive was damaging and "contrary to fact"

 He said new Boeing Stratocruis- CTS will be used.
 This will mean a considerable increase in the number of our per Sonnel here," Hunter said. "The passing of Orient flights here will bring in additional flight crews and maintenance personnel"

will be invited to Washington and

while, everybody hopes for the

It is also explained here that
whether we support or abstain,
India will be elected to the Sc

The only thing that would make
the French take notice of the

Although both of these ex-

some things that indicate he is
discovering our current attitude
and mood, Of which we can't be
very proud, and of which it Is well
for us to be reminded by some one
from afar who can take the long
look, such as:
1.-THE very process OF marshall
ing the world into two hostile
armed camps precipitates the con-
fict which 1t is sought to avoid.
It produces a sense Of terrible
fear and that fear darkens mems
minds and loads them into wrong
courses. There is perhaps moth
ing SO bad and so dangerous in
life as fear. AS a great President
Of the United States said: There
is nothing really to fear except
fear itself.
Our problem, therefore, be-
comes one of lessening fear and
ultimately putting an end to this
fear. That will not happen If
the world takes sides and talks of
war. War becomes almost Ger

The Prime Minister was the

America is also supporting India

has not been happy one. Many
people believe that America made
a diplomatic blunder In bringing
Prime Minister Nehru to Wash
ington without a simultaneous in
vitation to Pakistan, especially in
view of the present extreme ten
sions existing between the two.
Suggestions that Prime Minister
Khan should receive such an in
vitation forthwith have been re-
buffed by the State Department
as too obvious and too defensive.
The net of many agitated cables
between the three capitals in
volved is about as follows:
The Nehru visit was initiated by
former United States Ambassador
to India, Henry Grady, and ap-
parently arose from a casual ex-
change between the two men.
Mr.. Nehru remarked that he had
never been to America. Mr..
Grady said he ought to come.
This was many months ago,
before the main issues now divid-
ing India and Pakistan-Kash-
mir, and Pakistan's refusal to de-
value the rupee as India has
were prominent or even existed.
In the usual diplomatic form,
Mr.. Nehru recently limited that
he would like to make the visit
earlier discussed and President
Truman promptly invited him. It
is suggested that Mr.. Nehru was
