THE WORLD
TO-DAY
By JAMES MARROW

WAShINGION H - witness at
ter witness is asked this question
by congressional investigating com.
mittees: "Are you now or have
you ever been a member of the
Communist party"
The witness is in bad shape if
he says simply: Il refuse to an
swer." For that fiat statement,
without any explanation, he can be
cited for contempt of Congress,
prosecuted and, if convicted, jailed
and fined.
But he comes under the protec.
ton of a Supreme Court ruling if
he offers the reply given by wit
ness after witness: 81 invoke the
Fifth Amendment to the ConStitu.
ton and refuse to answer because
it might incriminate me-"
The Fifth Amendment says a
man can't be compelled to testify
against himself in a criminal case.
And the Supreme Court has said
a witness cannot be forced to tes-
tify about his Communist activi.
ties.
But how can man incriminate
himself by admitting he is, or was,
a member of the party when there
is no federal law banning the par
ty or making membership in it
a crime?
Because he can argue that, il
today he admits present or past
party membership, tomorrow or
next month the government might
decide to prosecute in one of sew
eral ways.
While the party is not actually
outlawed, and no federal law
makes membership illegal, there
are some laws, particularly the
Smith Act passed in 1910, under
which a party member could be
tried and convicted.
That act says it is unlawful to
conspire to teach forceful over
throw of the government. A num-
Der of first and second-string Com
muniSt officials have been convict
ed for such conspiracy. And the
Supreme Court has upheld their
conviction.
The government may prosecute
others on the same grounds, even
! though the party Itself has not
been declared illegal. So a witness
might claim fear Of future prose.
cution under this part of the act
if he admitted belonging to the
party.
Another part of the same act
says it's unlawful to be a mem
Der Of a party whose purpose is
forceful overthrow of the govern
ment. This act which Congress put
on the books Is years ago didn't
name the Communist party.
And no one has been tried under
that part of the act yet, but some
day the government might decide
to use it against Communists.
So a man who ducks behind the
Fifth Amendment today to avoid
answering about party member.
ship can plead it might lead to
jail for him at some future time.
How many people have refused
to talk about party membership
because they really feared jail in
the future is something only they
themselves know In their own
in their own minds.
In some cases they may use the
Fifth Amendment not because of
personal fear of prosecution but
through reluctance to tell about
others they knew In the party,
past or present.
When a witness does not invoke
the Fifth Amendment and admits
party membership be cannot then
refuse to answer questions about
other people who might have been
in the party with him.
He couldn't waive protection of
the amendment for himself and
then later try to use ii to protect
others.
The Supreme Court has ruled
that a witness can't use the Fifth
Amendment to protect anyone but
himself.

Farm Support Loans
Bar Discrimination
BY the Associated Press

Private banks which partici-
pate in the Government farm
price support program are being
asked to agree not to discriml-
nate against any employe or ap-
plicant because of race. color or
creed.
Agriculture Department off,
cials, who declined to be quoted
by name, acknowledge the anti
discrimination policy has been in
effect since May They did so
after Gov. James F.. Byrnes of
South Carolina protested to
President Eisenhower against the
policy.
An Agriculture official ex-
planned to a reporter that the
anti-discrimination policy ap-
plies to all so-called lending
agency agreements.
Under these agreements, banks
make price support loans to
farmers. acting on behalf of the
Commodity Credit Corp. The
banks then may keep the loans
or turn them over to the CCC
and receive fee for their
services.
The official said the depart
ment has received some pro-
tests" from the South. He add
ed, however. that he knew of no
incidents where a bank had re-
fused to sign the agreement.
The proviso was written into
the loan agency agreements aft
er President Eisenhower's anti
discrimination executive order in
the Government.

Hunt Wild Beasts
China Radios BIare;
RevoIts Suspected
BY the Associoted Press

HONG KONG. Aug. %
BroadcaSts speaking of wild
beast hunts" for tigers and pan
theirs in Communist China have
listeners in this crown colony
and possibly even on the Red
mainland-wondering what's 60
ing on behind the bamboo cur
tain.
Suddenly the Red radio broad
casts are full of talk of hunting
the beasts in the mountains and
saving the crops"-all this in
land where few predatory ami
mails exist.
Figure this one out from radio
Hupeh or Hankow in Central
China:
when we hunt beasts we must
respect tribal habits and Gus
toms. When the beasts hide in
graveyards or temples we must
obey tribal custom on whether
to shoot them or not"
UpriSings in Red China?
Radio Sian in Shensi province
has spilled out hundreds of
words aimed at organizing hunt
ing parties to kill "the beasts in
the mountains and save the
crops"
This double talk may point to
one thing: Some sort of trouble,
possibly even uprisings, is brew
ing in Red China.
The radios, however, give no
clue who the rebels are. They
never depart from "beast" talk
and never mention any ami
mails other than tigers or pam
theirs.
Possibly the Reds are recruit
ing hunters without telling them
what they will hunt. But it
must be big game, as radio
Yunnan indicated in this broad
cast:
If hunters are killed pensions
will be supplied peasants or
hunters who have died while
hunting or who have been
wounded when seized by the
beasts will be helped by the gov
ernment. :.
Mustn't Use Poison Arrows.
when a hunter hunts beasts,
his neighborS must help him take
care of his farm hunters with
extra guns must lend them to
other hunters. =.
Poison arrows must not be
used the government will
supply hunters with money for
ammunition and guns but those
who can should make their own
ammunition.
"We must protect the people,
cattle and farm plants from beast
calamities."
1t may sound like a mystery
thriller-or is it trouble behind
the bamboo curtain?

Rail Conductors Call
Strike for Sept. Il
On Some Roads
BY the Assoeioted Press

CEDAR RAPIDS. Iowa, Aug.
29.-The Order of Railway Con-
ductors, seeking more pay for its
$4,000 members, has announced
it will begin a strike on some
railroads at 6 am. Qocal stand
ard time) September 10.
If the mediation clause in the
Railway Labor Act is invoked.
however. any walkout would be
delayed so days.
The strike action was an
nounced in Chicago yesterday by
an aide to T. 0. Hughes, ORC
president. and confirmed by an
ORC spokesman here.
The spokesman said either side
can call for mediation. and zone
side or the other usually does"
Mr.. Hughes aide. James Pad
dock. said the strike was con-
cerned with rates of pay. Con-
ductors, he said. have lost their
relative position" in the pay
rate structure.
"The conductor now finds him
self. below the fireman, who is
subordinate to him." Mr.. Pad
dock said.
The conductors are seeking a
graduated rate of pay. This
means that the bigger the loco
motive on train, the more the
conductors pay would be. En-
gineers and f1remen already have
such a graduated rate, based on
the power of locomotives.
Strike Procedure Outlined.
Letters outlining strike proce-
dure were sent by Mr.. Hughes
to division chairmen of the
union.
Steve Delahnunty, Clinton,
Iowa, division chairman, said the
letter made these points:
All conductors on all railroads
will not be called out simulta-
neously.
The ORC, however, is pre-
pared to consider expanding the
strike until an agreement is
reached.
Picket Lines Planned.
picket lines must be estab-
llshed in all terminals and Of
ficials also will be assigned to
assist the general chairmen in
the conduct of the strike"
General chairmen of the
property (railroad) first to be
struck will be notified by wire or
telephone prior to the date set
for strike action"
1T Is contemplated that en-
ployeS engaged in service pri-
marily affected by the strike
must serve on the picket lines.
1t is contemplated that en-
ployes not engaged in service
primarily affected by the strike
will observe our picket lines"
Dispute Started in 1949.

for the National Mediation
Board said the present dispute
