Give the FBI an Even Break

Attorney General McGrath's pleas for con-
gressional action on legislation to permit wire
tapping by the Federal Bureau of Investigation
may seem to be repetitious, but the matter is so
urgent that Congress should not be allowed to
forget the subject. The practice for some years
has been to shove overlapping bills into a
venient pigeonhole and let them die there. The
continued delay, however, plays into the hands
of Red spies, who must wonder at the strange
ethics of a Government which hamstrings its
counterintelligence forces with legal restrictions
against tapping wires of enemy agents.
Several bills to remedy this grave weakness
In our internal security system were introduced
in the House with the converting of the Congress-
and all were referred to the Judiciary Committee
One of these bills is sponsored by the Depart
ment of Justice. Most of the others conform
generally to the administration measure. The
proposed legislation would authorize the FBI
and other intelligence agencies to tap wires in
cases involving the national security and to
use the evidence so obtained in Federal court.
The authority would be granted in specific cases
by Judge, upon showing of necessity.
No overlapping hearings have been held as

Home book shelves are never we'll

Readers are seldom librarians.
Shelves get filled up with junk.

WhatNhe needs is not more shelves but
fewer books. What he must do is little

There comes time in the life of many
a volume when it needs to be retired
from active service. Perhaps it had no
business on the shelf in the first place.
It is curious how those who love books
manage to collect many which they
never needed. This comes about in part,
because every book is book. and SO in
a way possesses the charm which every

Whot Kind of Equality?

Certain people and groups contend
that separation of the races in our
community life, either voluntarily or by
law, is in effect a form of discrlmina-
ton. They make much of the word
equality" and denounce as un-demo-
cratic and un-Christian those who Go
not, in all good conscience, see eye to
eye with them. The Constitution and
the Bible are brought in to bolster their
point Of view.
Those who take this stand seem to
overlook the fact that the Constitution
is an instrument of law. And the term
equality" as set forth in the Constitu-
ton pertains to matters of the law. It
is no exaggeration to say that the Fed
erai Constitution. as written by the
trainers, embodied only limited form
of political equality. This was one IT
the concessions made to that "opulent
minority" mostly from the South, who
had to be persuaded that their interests
would not be jeopardized if they entered
into a Federal Union of States.
No one, suppose, has the right to
be dogmatic about the Bible. All agree
that it offers spiritual equality. There
Is nothing much in the Bible. though,
on the subject of social or worldly equal
ity. 1t doesn't preach the breakdown OF
class structures in worldly sense. To
do so would have been to put emphasis
on an inconsequential aspect of life.

terrible destruction that has been
wrought in Korea. and he implies that
the Koreans have, therefore, no reason
to be grateful to us. Let the Koreans
be the judges of this themselves
Didn't almost every ablebodied Ko-
rean, who had the opportunity to do So
flee to sanctuary back of the U. N lines?
Didn't every citizen of Hungnam who
could find spot on which to stand in
the U. N. evacuating vessels escape from
the resurging Communists? Aren't the
very refugees who are suffering terrible
deprivations in South Korea writing
letters to their friends in this country
telling them how grateful they are that
the U. N. troops are there to. protect
them? Isn't the Republic of Korea
Army fighting bravely and Loyalty to
keep the Communist troops from selling
their beloved country? Aren't a half
million South Korean youths training
night and day for military duty, and
begging the United States for rifles SO
that they may go to the front?
Yes. I'VE have done this to them
Our American sons and the sons of our
Allies have nobly stood by these OPP
pressed people, and we can be very sure
that the Koreans aren't worried because
the U. N. has taken forceful hand on
the mainland of Asia.

acceptable and appropriate works are
secured. It is here that he makes his
big mistake, if any one wants to call
it So After all, it is no mistake if the
owner will profit by it.
The chances are, however, that time
will tend to give unwanted volumes a
sanction which often enough they do not
deserve. The booklover can go into any
library and pick at random many books
which have no real place in it.
Yet If he suggested as much to the
owner, the latter would manage to dis
cover at least half dozen reasons why
he did not agree with the custer judg-
ment. Boiled down, they would amount
to nothing more than this, that the
volumes were there, and looked well, and
were going to stay there.
All well and good, but then there is
no use to complain about lack of shelf
room. 1t is not shelf room, but wedding
out that is needed in most instances
Housewives used to call such drastic
procedure Kidding out" or 'redding
out" as the Scotch say.
1t is nowhere needed more than on a
bookshelf. For books do grow DID, they
have their time and pass out of existence
as living things. Some of them do not,
true. Such are called masterpieces and
classics. They are timeless. They have
Immortality.
In addition, every booklover has clas-
sizes of his own which he treasures be-
cause of certain profound and moving
appeals to himself alone.
These are his books which do not grow
old, which, deserve the places they occupy.

This and That

contain specimens whose welcome is long
overdue, or whose purpose has been
served. These are in addition to the
volumes which never should have been
there in the first place.
Most of the latter reached their shell
tered nook because there were empty
spaces to be filled UP when the shelves
were first set up. Every one who has
made collection of any sort knows how
it is. Those who have postage stamp
albums want to "hll 'em up" just as
tropical fish enthusiasts constantly desire
more aquariums with more fishes in
them.
The book lover, no more than the
gardener, is free from the vogue for
numbers, A yaWning space on the
shelves cries to be filed. One is grateful
at first for almost anything that will
fill the void.
The easy solution of leaning several
books one way, propped at the end by
few in pile, as sort of bookend. does
not occur to the home librarian at this
stage of his progress He wants those
shelves filled, and fill them he will. if
he can find the material wherewith to
do so.
In most instances this is comparatively
easy. Through one expedient or another
he manages to gather together enough
volumes to place side by side down the
entire rows of all his shelves.
Many Of them are not exactly what
he would like. he tells himself, but it
will be easy to remedy that, Is more
