silver beauty (slightly tarnished) and
sank with relief into his favorite seat.
Blithely the vehicle bowled down
Connecticut avenue. God was in His

transit company. for once.
Maybe the beautiful morning had
something to do with it.
Then, of a sudden, the sun went in,

to the bus.
Instead Of continuing on down the
avenue, the obdurate vehicle made q
right turn at Florida avenue.

Our Canadian Visitors

Washington has the honor and pleasure
now Of playing host to Prime Minister Louis St.
Laurent of Canada. Accompanied by Lester B.
Pearson, Secretary of State for External Affairs
and Cabinet Secretary ]. w. Pickersgill, he
has come to town to confer with our highest
authorities on matters of great interest and
concern to our two countries.
This Is the first American Canadian meet
ing of its kind in President EiSenhower's ad-
ministration, but it will be the same as those
in the past as far as atmosphere and spirit
are concerned. That Is to say, it will be
characterized by a degree of cordiality and
mutual understanding unique in international
relations. Nowhere else in the world are there
two nations that have been such good neighbors
for so long. The best and most famous symbol
of that is the great unarmed border we share
from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Economically, as each others best GUS
toners, Canada and the United States have
exceptionally close ties, but they as friendly
as they are primarily because they believe in
the same political essentials and because they
have been addicted for generations to the
habit of mutual trust and cooperation. 1t is
an addiction, however, that needs to be nur-
tured, and that is why SUCH conferences as
the current one are important. For our good
neighboriness will continue to thrive only
to the extent that we deal constructively to-
gether on matters like defense, the atlantic

It was a nice ride, and Jones was

namely, Sherwood Gardens, a private
estate located in the heart of choice
residential district of Baltimore.
I shall not attempt to describe the
glorious profusion of color which meets
the eye. 1t is beyond my powers of de-
scription. It is as though some great
master had gathered from the four
corners of the earth the most beautiful
azaleas. tulips, poppies, iris, wisteria
and dogwood. and assembled them in
one magnificent display for the people
to see.
Yes. for the people to see and enjoy,
this private estate is thrown open to

for the care it must have taken to bring
all of this beauty to maturity. It is
true that some of the flower care is
Government sponsored. The Bureau Of
Standards grounds are dream of love-
illness. However, most of the flower
display is due to the efforts of private
owners. It seems to me that people who
spend their time. money and energy to
produce something which all can enjoy
are public benefactors and should be
allowed to deduct all expenses for such
gardenias from their income taxes. In
this way we could enjoy their efforts
with clear consciences.

Internal Security Act anticipated just
such evasive tactics on the part of the
Communists and therefore incorporated
penalties in the act which, if enforced
by the Department of Justice and the
courts, will forestall such evasion
schemes. A Communist is a member
of criminal conspiracy, directed and
controlled by aliens, to destroy our form
of Government. Penalties have been
provided accordingly for those who seek
to hide their identity by going under
ground.
The act, in section I'd, requires that
the registration list include the names
and addresses of every officer and
member on the rolls at the time the
registration order becomes effective,
retroactive for IL months, and in
section 15-b punishment of $4,000
fine or five years in prison, or both, is
provided for any willful Justification or
omission. Also. many of these Com
munlStS in our midst would be subject
to deportation in event of their con-
viction for failure to register as pro-
vided in the statute.
Prosecution, then, would depend only
upon the Attorney General being able
to detect any falsiflcations or omissions
in membership roles the party presented
to him. That the FBI will know
whether the list is complete or incom-
plete. accurate or inaccurate. there can
be no doubt. FBI Director j. Edgar
Hoover, in estimating the party's men,
bership in his testimony before House
appropriations subcommittee recently,
was able to provide an exact count
24,796 members.
If, then, any Communist leader or
member should think that the act
leaves the underground available to
him as an escape hatch. he had better
restudy the provisions of the act. AS
was observed by Senator Ferguson of
Michigan in his excellent analysis of
the act, published recently in the Con-
gressional Record. registration will
force the party above ground and keep
it there"-we may add. to receive the

of the convention of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States. was

Conspicuous by his absence was Sem

because of intentional oversight in de-

It seems to me disgraceful that
Senator who should be accorded the

rudely.
Senator Morse was voted in by the
people of oregon and whether he is
right or wrong on different issues is not
the question.

Background of D. c. Code

on the hearing before the Supreme

In Robert K Walsh's report a state
ment is attributed to Edward F. Col
laday, an attorney representing the
Board of Trade, which reads as fol-
lows:
'Mr. Colladay contended that the
codification prepared by the late Judge
Walter S. Cox, and enacted in part by
Congress in 1901, repealed the 1928
enactments."

827 of the Revised Statutes of the
United States and the case of Seitz v.
Mitchell (94 U. 81. This investigation
led me in its course through the Con-
gressional Record and the proceedings
preliminary to the enactment of the
D. c. Code of 1901. The journal of these
proceedings is in the Library of Con-
gress and it sets forth, beyond any pos
Sibility of doubt, that the preparation

No Threat to Freedom

Whatever else may be said of Senator
McCarthy's hassle with New York Post Editor
James A. Wechsler, it can hardly be called a
threat to the freedom of the press.
Mr.. Wechsler was bulldozed and badgered
former member of the Young Communist
League, he sought to show that since 1887 he
had been an outSpoken Communist But
evidence that he had abandoned communism,
when run through the Mccarthy truth mangler,
emerged as proof that he was still a Com
muniSt. The pretext for the hearing was an
alleged intent to investigate the purchase of
some Wechsler- -authored books for the State
Departments overseas library. But the real
intent quite clearly was to discredit and smear
the editor and his paper. Perhaps there was
also an intent to intimidate Mr. Wechsler and
silence his papers criticism of Senator Nc
Carthy, although nothing in the transcript
suggests that the editor was intimidated in
the slightest degree.
All of this adds up to diScreditable per-
formance on Senator McCarthy's part, and an
abuse of the Senate's investigative function But
1t would be absurd to contend that freedom of
the press was in any way abridged.
Mr.. Wechsler said he regarded the pro-
ceeding as "the first in long line of attempts
to intimidate editors who do not equate Nc
Carthyism with patriotism" If this is correct
and The Star doubts that it iS-the attempt
will fail.
Newspaper editors are not going to be
intimidated by any threat real or fancied, of
being investigated by Senator Mccarthy. Those
who disapprove of the Senator's tactics-The
Star included-have not hesitated to say so in
the past and they will be no less outspoken
in the future.
Freedom of the press means freedom to
print news and opinion. It does not imply
immunity for editors from investigation, criti-
cism or abuse. They are supposed to be hardy
enough to stand up under that sort of thing,
and if they cannot do it they ought not to be
editors
Senator Mccarthy has considerable ca
pacity for haraSsment. He has proved that, not
only in Mr., Wechser'S case, but in the cases of
dozens of non-newspaper people who have been
brought before his committee. Nothing that
the Senator is capable of doing however, is in
any real sense threat to press freedom. Those
IN the newspaper profession who contend other
wise are merely initiating the Importance of the
Senator and Understanding the forttude of
their colleagues. They ought to have more
faith in themselves.

Registering Communists

The Stars otherwise Soundly inform
ative editorial of April "a on the
decision filed April 20. 1853. by the Sub
versive Activities Control Board in the
Communist Party case falls into what
appears to be a too common error in
assuming that the said party can sue
cessfully evade the boards registration
order under the Internal Security Act.
At one place the editorial points out
that the FBI probably knows who most
of the members are. and you add that
the act has effective teeth. But you
then further state that the really
dangerous Communists can avoid regis
tration simply by resigning from the
party before the registration date and
soing underground.
Such a statement is variant of
President Truman's argument in his
message accompanying his veto of the
act. that the party could escape simply
by changing its name. Neither state
ment is correct.
The fact is that the architects of the
