When Mrs. Roosevelt and her party of five, now touring Europe, visit American minister Perle Mesta in Luxembourg, Mrs. Mesta plans to move out. This is by no means a snub to the most famous Amer ican lady, but just because there aren't enough rooms in the legation Political scouts in Missouri during the Presidents visit didn't like to be too blunt about it, but they found that Truman's hand picked candidate for the Senate, Emory Allison, i" having a tough time. Former Congressman Tom Jennings, also Democrat, has the edge Secretary of Defense Johnson and General Bradley will tour the North Atlantic Pact coun- tries the last two weeks of Sep tember, then bring all the defense ministers back with them for a military orientation course in this country One reason for the Puerto Rican air tragedy in the chartered plane off Miami was that none of the American crew could speak Spanish.

sadistic pleasures of these unprin- cipled sleuths.
 Such procedure would be re- pulsive and nauseating to us. In our opinion it would be worse than the third degree methods of un- scrupulous police, practice now happily discarded and removed from modern police activity. h. inhalation and threats of exposure advocated by MT. Bielaski may have been in vogue in Czaristic Russia and may still be employed by the secret police of dictator na- tions, but they have no place in this country; they are not con- sistent with American ideals and American spirit; they are not in accord with our sense of fairness and decency; and they do not con- form with the functions of a grand jury, as we conceive them.

 Socialism is a dishonest movement.

Grand Jury Report

We cendemn most emphatically the surre eptitious practices, the un- ethical methods and highly un- American actions of MT. Bielaski and others associated with him in wire-tapping in Rhode Island, who would emulate the vicious Gestapo of Germany and the abhorrent OGPU of Russia.
 MT. Bielaski and his associates have willfully and deliberately en- deavored to arrogate to themselves the supreme power over the privacy of the homes and offices of law abiding residents; and MT Biel- aski has without shame or con- triton Basted of wire-tapping-a course of conduct sufficiently rep rehensible as to have been de- scribed by the late Judge Oliver Wendelle Holmes of the United States Supreme Court as dirty businesss.
 The Biflaski report recommended that the2attorney general and thi! grand jury should use certain ev- idence in the possession of MT Bielaski, which evidence involved the personal lives of some public officials and of private individuals and which evidence is not in anc of itself violation of law, in 6 move calculated to force these in- dividuals under threat of exposure to testify as to certain matter. of which the agents hoped these witnesses had knowledge. Like the sword of Damocles, this threa was to be used as a club ovel the heads Of these individuals tC compel them by methods, mos base and despicable, to give testi. mony ofswhich they may not have the slightest knowledge or inkling merely to satisfy the whims ant

Tourist Ambassadors

Last summer, with thousands of Americans going to Europe, alert Barry Bingham, publisher of the Louisville Courier-Journal on leave to help administer the Marshall Plan, inspired booklet to Amer ican tourists reminding them that each of them was an individual ambassador of good will.
 What most people don't realize is that the United States as a whole is judged by the behavior of American tourists abroad; there fore, the Marshall Plan admins trators quite correctly reminded them of that fact.
 This summer the tourist travel will be heavier than ever, and one group which is taking it's unofficial diplomatic responsibilities seriously is the Newman Club Federation, composed of 5000 Catholic college students.
 
 Travelling not only to Rome, but through France, Switzerland and Germany. they will be in contact with student groups in those coun- tries and will endeavor to organ ize friendship clubs for the ex- change of letters, books, magazines.
 This is a far more important service than most people realize For merely dumping food in Eur ope, or sending material goods un- der the Marshall Plan is chalked up by Europeans as a cold -blooded bid to win cannon fodder against Russia. Personal contact, on the other hand, is genuinely appre- ciated and really wins friends for the future.
 [ This was what the American Legion recognized when it started its tide of toys to Europe. For Europe's next generation can be our best friends or the enemy sol diers of tomorrow.
