''IR0N CURTAIN" FEATURE TONIGHT
 AT 10TH CENTURY

With the opening tonight at the 20th Century of The Iron Curtain" starring Dana Andrews and Gene Tierney, Twentieth Century-Fox brings to screen life the actual story behind headlines that startled the world several years ago.
 The amazing disclosures of a worldwide network of intrigue that erupted in Canada with the ex- posture of a fabulouSly complex and daring atom bomb plot, brought to light a story mequalled by any thing that even E. Phillips Oppen- helm, that old master of spy fic- ton, ever wrote. It proved to be. in fact, the most amazing plot in $500 years of recorded espionage.
 AS the couple in The Iron Cur tain" who are destined always to live in danger and never to know a quiet moment, the studio chose Dana Andrews and Gene Tierney. Andrews is seen as Gouzenko, the Embassy code clerk, who exposed the spy ring, while Miss Tierney is his wife, Anna, who wanted only that their son be brought up in a country free from fear.
 Other characters are taken by sev- eral newcomers to the screen al- though June Havoc leads the sup porting cast.

Were it otherwise, the FBI would be violating the Constitution of the United States. But how do you determine the deeds of subversive person who is part of conspiracy to alter the government of the United States in the interest of a foreign powers?
 This involves vast knowledge of the nature and purposes of the conspiracy. It has to do as much with thoughts and associations as with deeds For instance, every body seems to be talking these days about "card-carrying Communists. There are none
 The Communists stopped issuing cards some time during the Stalin- Hitler Alliance, around 1859. There fore, it is necessary to establish affiliations by other means. This is not only difficult to do, but it is even more difficult to do with out impairing civil rights.
 Yet, it is essential that this country be safeguarded from the activities in which such men as Alger Hiss, Whitaker Chambers, Klaus Fuchs and many others en- gagged. The Russian weapon of war is not the A-bomb blt the univer- sal conspiracy concerning funda- mental assumptions which, if de- stroyed, weaken a nation.
 The FBI does study tnis prob lem and has files on the subject. The Civil Service Commission and the various loyalty boards have files. The House Committee on Un-American Activities and the Army and Navy have files. No where is there coordination; there is even less understanding of the fundamntal nature of the conspir- acy.
 In spite of at least 30 years of activity in the United States. nc thorough study has yet appeared of the nature and characteristics of the Communist conspiracy in t.ie
 United States. While fragments have, been studied, no one has yet produced data to explain how very few have been able to do so much and also why so many who are not Communists are willing to do their
 work for them.

T H E SEE D A Y s
 - B Y-- GEORGE k. SOKOLSKY
THE FBI AND INVESTIGATION

Logically, any government estab- fishes ways and means to protect itself against destruction. Politic- ally, this may become a dangerous device, actually leading to tyranny The American problem is to pro- duce a formula by which the civil rights of citizens, guaranteed by the Constitution, will be fully pro- tected, while at the same time the nation is safeguarded from enemies within as well as without.
 Because often one purpose con flicts with the other, the devices employed become mired in confus- ion. For the British, it is simpler A Royal Commission can have all the information available and no agency Of the government can set itself up as free from investigation
 In the United States, the general assumption is that Congressional committee possesses similar rights This is not so. First of all, a Congressional committee is limited by the separation of powers be- tween the. Executive and Legislative branches of government Secondly, Congressional committee is limi- ted by the terms of reference ar ranged in the resolution calling it into being.
 Often it is limited by the par ticular interests of those who do the Investigating.
 The FBI is an agency in the Department of Justice controi&d by the attorney general. In mat ters political, the policies of the FBI are decided by the President and the attorney general. Because J. Edgar Hoover has served as its director since 1924 and the people have confidence in him personally, it is too often forgotten that his is not an independent agency but a bureau in a department.
 Were someone else at the head of the Bureau, this fact would be more obvious.
 The FBf functions as a police force, it's object being to develop facts which under our rules of
 evidence, will stand up in a cour of law. It does, however, not bring an action in court. That is done by the attorney general. FBI op- eratives may appear as witnesses, but they must take the same chances as all other witnesses un- der examination and cross -eXamin- ation. They are not privileged characters, nor is their information as was established in the Coplon case. The FBI is not a secret police institution such as exists in many European countries.
 Therefore, J. Edgar Hoover sound- ly states:
 "The F. B. I. is interested in &C., tions, not thoughts; in deeds, not beliefs; what man does, not what he thinks"
