A Threat to Reorganization

II the Senate earnestly desires an ef-
fective reorganization of the Government
and there Is no reason to suppose other
wise-it will do well to join with the House
In voting for two-house veto authority over
any reorganization proposal. The one
house veto plan recommended by the
Senate Expenditures Committee wrecked
President Hoover's reorganization program
In 1882. The singlehouse veto provision
would greatly increase the danger of an
other reorganization fiasco.
Taking lesson from the 1882 experience,
Congress has insisted on inserting two
house veto provision in all subsequent re-
organization measures. Why this normal
and adequate veto plan should be scrapped
nov in favor of one that proved to be un-
satisfactory in 1882 lis not explained. The
House showed good Judgment in needing
the pleas of Mr.. Hoover and President
Truman for a two-house veto system. The
Senate will be imperiling the whole re-
organization effort If 1t fails to 60 along
with the House in this respect.
Otherwise, the bill approved by the Sem
ate Committee Is good one-better in
some respects than the measure passed by
tI1S F1UuS6. lie I1UuSG Wiiilc "
no exemptions, provides separate pack
age" plan for reorganization of the Ma
tional Military Establishment and half
dozen other agencies. This means that the
President must submit separate reorgani-
cation plans for these favored agencies,
giving Congress the opportunity of acting
on each plan independently. The Senate
Committee rejected >the separate package
plan, however. 1t also rejected proposals
for exempting any agencies specifically
from an overhaul. The committee thus ac-
ceded to the wishes of the Hoover Com
mission and of the President.
Congress will be running the risk of
setting back the reorganization movement
seriously If 1t fails to give President Tru-
man adequate authority to prepare a COM
prehensive program, based on the Hoover
recommendations. These Recommendation
are the most far-reaching and logical ever
drawn up. It would be a real tragedy II
shortsighted restrictions on presidential
authority should result In collapse of this
latest all-out attempt to put the Govern
ment on busness-like basis Of operation.

An Issue for the u. N.

Although differing little from earlier
ones on the same subject, the scathing
American notes to the Communist regimes
depressing Romania Bulgaria and Hun
gary indicate that the United States
Jointly with Britair--intends to try doing
more than lodge mere diplomatic protests
against the notorious" way in which
these three agencies of the Kremlin have
been violating their solemn pledges to
uphold human freedom.
Ever since they came to power through
fraud and force, the Romanian, Bulgarian
and Hungarian tyrannies have repeatedly
scorned our protests as rude interfer-
ence" In their internal affairs. The story
is too drearily familiar to need retelling.
The recent sentencing of Cardinal Mind
szenty in Hungary, the persecution Of
Protestant leaders in Bulgaria, the rail-
reading of Juliu Manu- in Romania-
these are but few Of the many vicious
acts that have made clear that the regimes
responsible for them have been deliber-
ately using every form Of coercion and
perverted Justice to wipe out democratic
political opposition and all liberty in the
three satellite countries in order to tighten
the Kremlin's grip on Eastern Europe and
pave the way for further Soviet expansion
westward,
ALI this. of course-as our latest notes
point out-has been done in fiagrant viola
ton of the peace treaties that ended our
state of war with Romania. Bulgaria and
Hungary. Under those treaties. the three
offending governments are pledged to
secure to the peoples they govern "the
enjoyment of human rights and the fun
damental freedoms, including freedom OF
expression, of press and publication, of
religious worship, of political opinion and
of public meeting" In line with orders
from Moscow, however, that obligation has
been subjected to such cynically cruel
burlesaue that free men everywhere have
been outraged Nor could anything be
clearer than the fact that American and
British diplomatic protests-no matter
how strongly worded-can do little or
nothing about the situation, beyond keep
ing the historical record straight
In recognition of this, our new notes
suggest that the United States and Britain,
in keeping with the peace treaties, will
call upon Russia to join with them in
special commission to press for remedial
measures In the three countries. OF
course, since 1t Is primarily responsible
for the satellite violations, the Kremlin
As not likely to consent to that, which
means that the issue-if Ii Is ever to be
acted upon-will have to be brought before
either the Security Council or the General
Assembly Of the United Nations.

dispatch of formal notes from one or two
members Whatever It's deficiencies, the

Favors Full Publicity


The Star is to be commended for its news
and editorial treatment OF the Dorothy
Bailey loyalty case. Your presentation. In
my Judgment. is in the best democratic ira
dition OF free press devoted to the principle
OF assisting ip creating and maintaining an
informed and enlightened public opinion.
Only as the facts are brought to public
attention, as you have done in the Instance
OF Miss Bailey. can there be a realization of
the dangers which stem from the present
loyalty hearing policies and procedures. The
dignity and character of the individual are
precious and sacred possessions which no
one should have the right to treat either
lightly or carelessly. Any policy or procedure
which does that. must be carefully and OBJ
jectively evaluated in terms of democratic
fundamentals and detectives In my opinion
the present loyalty procedure as exemplified
by the Bailey case does not square with the
democratic concept of civil liberties
The Star. by It's courage and sense OF fair
play, has performed a public service of the
highest order. John w. Limbert.

Compromising Our Own Faith
TO the Editor Of The Star:


The trial of Dorothy Bailey-for 1t was
q trial, no matter by what euphemistic name
it may be called-was one of the most
frightening things that has occurred in this
country since the witchcraft trials of our
early Colonial days, 1t is frightening because
principles have be en- established which are
indistinguishable from those which made the
German Third Reich repugnant to us, and
which we find obnoxious today In the Soviet
Union.
1t has now been established that a person
may be damned today for doing. at some
period in the past, what may at that time
have been innocent, advisable, or even highly
commendable He may be painted as
potential traitor for having exercised the
right and carried out the duty Of every
conscientious student and scholar-the right
and duty Of examining PHILOSOPHERS other
than that to which he is exposed by accident
of birth and residence. He may be prosecuted
today for an assumed or fancied leaning
toward Soviet communism. Tomorrow, In
obedience to some mad law of change. the
criterion may be his religious conviction
tthere is some indication OF that today,
musty and evil heritage from the Dark Ages.
Again. 1t may be right or lefthandedness. or
place Of birth. There is no discernibe limit
to the number of insane possibilities which
are suggested by the Bailey trial.
How. in this matter, do we differ from our
avowed enemy. the Communist protagonist?
We are using the same weapon. persecution
OF noncomforming thought. Are we clean.
perhaps, because we carry in our right hand
the club that he wields with his left?
The situation demonstrates clearly our
abject surrender TO those very principles
which We condemn so yociferously. We In
weigh sanctimoniously against thought con-
troll as practiced in the Soviet Union-and
We deprive people like Dorothy Bailey OF
their livelihood. We laugh loftily at the great
spontaneous" demonstrations of enthusiasm
In Moscow-and We encourage precisely that
kind OF lip-service In our own governmental
and academic life. We were righteously angry
at the way In which the Hungarian Cardinal
was tried-and In what way does the trial
OF Dorothy Bailey differ. save in that she is
not q cardinal Of the church?
Some Of our most precious legal tenets
were ignored. An accused petty thief or
murderer or traitor may confront and con-
found his accusers-but not Dorothy Bailey.
The informers against her not only we're not
produced at the hearine-they were not even
identified. Their competence was not estab-
lished, save In the minds OF the presiders at
the trial and to the apparent satisfaction OF
the supposedly omniscient and tnfalliole
investigators tlikewise unidentified who coll
lected the gossip that was used against her.
putative traitor enjoys some sort OF protec-
ton from the statute Of limitation-snd the
strongest point. apparently, which was made
against her was that she attended q Com
munist meeting half generation aso.

Dr.. Putnum's Jubilee

Half century ago today Herbert Put
nam became Librarian of Congress. He
moved to Washington as the result of
representations made by the American
Library Association to President william
Mckinley. The profession to which he
still belongs had said: Librarians recog-
nize that the Library of Congress is In
fact the National Library of America, and
that, as such, 1t should stand at the head
of American libraries, as the best organ
ICED and the best equipped of ALL His
colleagues in the library field also had
declared: 1--WE see that under the right
conditions it can be made leading factor
in the educational and intellectual life OF
the country, and will exercise an important
influence on the progress Of the library
movement"

visualized, the librarians insisted, should

qualities of craftsmanship. ready 10 deal

Our Government. as well as an accused

does not pretend to eyaluate the informa-

well to the purposes OF those who for any
reason want outstanding public servants
eliminated.

case is tried in court in the traditional
