T he Right of Bail

The ruling by the Supreme Court In the bah
issue raised by the IL members of the Communist
second team" indicted on conspiracy charge
under the Smith Act, serves once again to define
the principles governing the right of an accused
person to be released on bail.
Under the Constitution, any one accused of
a crime not punishable by death is entitled to
bail as matter of right. The sole purpose Of
bail is to provide reasonable assurance that the
defendant vii! be present when his case comes
to trial It follows, therefore, that bail must not
arbitrarily be set at level so unreasonably high
as to defeat the constitutional right.
In the Communist case bail for each de-
fendant was set at $50,000-a much higher figure
than in other cases in which, upon conviction
comparable punishment might be imposed. The
inference is that the $4,000 bail was unreason-
ably high. But the Supreme Court did not say
that. It merely decided that the bail was not
fixed by proper methods" the lower court
did not hear evidence to enable it to decide what
actually would be a reasonable bail in the case
of each of the IL accused And it is on this basis
that the case has been sent back to the lower
court for new, determination of the question
In the current popular mood public opinion
quite probably would favor setting bail so high
that the accused could not hope to obtain it..
This attitude is reinforced by the fact that four
OF the communist Top ledueTS, diGeT UelIlg cOIl-
victed under the Smith Act jumped their bail
and went into hiding before they could be sent
to Jail. The fact remains, however, that the
fixing of unreasonable bail operates to defeat by
indirection. that right to freedom which the
Constitution says an accused person shall" have
prior to trial And If this should be done in the
case of these Communists, the result would be,
as Chief Justice Vinson said, to inject into our
own system Of government the very principles of
totalitarianism which Congress was seeking to
guard against in passing" the Smith Act.
1t will not be easy for the lower court to
determine precisely what would be reasonable
bail in this instance. The import of the high
courts ruling is however, that the question must
be re-examined and that the accused persons
must not be foreclosed from reasonable bail
merely because they have been indicted as Com
munist conspirators That will not be popular
ruling But it is wholly consistent with our
American constitutional traditions.

LuIIobies From KremIin

Basing ones judgment upon the type
of music that Soviet composers are
forced to write it is obvious that Stain
ct al classify music. along with religion,
as an opiate.
To divest music Of all charm, beauty.
and the power to uplift. furthers their
materialistic aims. since they wish to
deprive their people of any medium that
stimulates loftier thoughts and emotions.
This is distressing enough, when one
contemplates the superb music that has,
come out of Russia in the past but it
is even more so to hear American imita-
tions of Soviet music.
Is the cunning of Communists too
subtle to be discerned and thwarted by
our people? I trust not.
It is to be hoped that both Soviet
music and American limitations of it will
disappear from broadcasts. and cease to
be peddled from podiums.

Fascinating Profession.
Commenting generally on en-
gineering as a profession, Mr..
Hoover says:
There is the fascination Of

elevates living standards and adds

gineer is that his works are out in
the open where all can see them.
He cannot bury his mistakes in
the grave like the doctors. He
cannot, like the architects. cover
his failures with trees and vines.
He cannot, like the politicians,

To be able to keep children oc-
cupied on rainy days, keep a shop
ping bag or other large container

food containers. egg boxes, cans
etc.. for them to play store. Also
give them an old pocketbook for
their shopping trip. The items are
a change from their usual toys

when broken at no expense. The
older one might enjoy tracing
leaves while the younger one is
