Justice Vinson in the Key West
councils. The Presidents re-

ticians think Mr.. Acheson's state
ment about Alger Hiss was a mis-
take, soundings over the country
show that people-especially the
Women-regarded 1t charitably.
The President supports him fully
and has never turned his back on
an aide under fire. Nor do the
Acheson accusers include a Sena-
tor of real stature whose judgment
commands respect.
But the Secretary has been
isolated, with Democrats rather
pointedly detaching themselves
from his troubles. He is also load
ed with an endemic public dis
trust of States career diplomats.
This has been heightened by the
departments own admission that
it has had to discharge nearly 100
homoSexuals.
There are signs that Mr.. Ache

For every reason the President
in this case is that friend. Apart
from personal considerations, no
President can afford to allow a
cabinet member to be sacrificed

does, his enemies will pick off the

There is no lack of evidence
that the peoples of these unfortu-

what is happening. Despite the
many risks involved in even secret
contact with American and
other Western representatives,
many satellite citizens COM
municate with Western officials,
running the risk OF being sent to
the uranium mines of Saxony or
the labor camps of the USSR.
Despite the dangers involved, un-
derground organizations spread
the Vests broadcast propaganda
by means of crudely mimeo-
graphed pamphlets.
These pamphlets reach only a
limited number Of people. But the
news from the West is spread by

these "subversive" broadcasts are

Yet, in spite Of these terroristic

With 2 million unemployed in

the thousands employed by the

Feet Far Of Ground.
How far off the ground we've
got our feet was revealed by Con-
gress in another respect last week.
The House was considering the
bill, already passed by the Senate,
to set up a national science foun-
dation. Some member. less con-
cerned with the advancement OF
science than with his fear Of for
eign devils, proposed an amend
ment. 1t provides that the Federal
Bureau of Investigation should
make a definite finding of loyalty
concerning every person employed
by the science foundation or
granted one Of the foundation s
scholarships. The amendment was
adopted.
This was too much even for the
FBI. This government agency, be-
cause of the proportions to which
it has grown in recent years and
the wide range of its operations
has itself been the cause of con-
siderable concern on the part OF
many serious students of govern
ment. Unless its powers are kept
within strict bounds, it is feared
it could become the sort of secret
police with which totalitarian
governments afilict their people.
Aware Of this. the FBI has in
sisted that its role in loyalty in
vestigations shall be confined te
gathering evidence, that 1t shall
not be asked to evaluate this evi-
dence or pass judgment on any
persons loyalty. Since the adop-
ton Of the House amendment the
FBI has reiterated its attitude and
the House is expected to recon
slider its action.
But the very fact that it ha.
become necessary for the FBI te
remind the House of the Amer.
lean concept of justice Is further
evidence of the "hysteria, border.
