= = Lets Re Home of Brave" -
One eminent citizen heard by
Senator Eastland's subcommittee
was Zechariah Chafee. ,jr., pro-
fssor of law al Harxafd. slid
he:
II American Communists and
fellow travellers are as dangerous
as the supporters of these bills
make out. then there is enough
legislation already with teeth in
it to take care Of them; so no
new law is needed. II. on the
contrary. existing statutes are not
violated by what these people are
saying or doing, then they can't
be very dangerous; so no new law
is needed. Shades of Valley
Forge and Two Jima! # we no
longer want to be the land Of
the free, at least let us be the
home of the brave!"
OF the manner in which Sena-
tor Mundt's proposed commission
would operate, he said. "The Com
mission hearings cannot help be-
coming inquisitions into mems
dangerous thoughts. Converse
tions will be reported by partici-
pants. so that men will begin
wondering whether 1t is safe to
say anything to supposed friends.
People will eavesdrop on their
neighbors. Secret police will be
multiplied. to catch all these new
crimes"
And. said Prof. Chafee. you
never know whom a sedition bill
is going to hit until the authori-
ties start shooting with It,"
This was before the House COM
mittee started taking aim at the
schools and colleges. Or. as the
South Dakota Senator might have
expressed it, before the evidence
had clouded up enough to become
clear.
