Freedom of Belief Hailed

In diSmiSSing a count in the
OWen baltimore case yesterday
Judge Luther w. Youngddhl
discussed the question OF in
diUiduGl freedom OF belief.
This is 1Uhat he said:
The First Amendment pro-
tects an individual in the ex-
preston of ideas though they
are repugnant to the orthodox.
Communism fallacy and vici-
BUSINESS can be demonstrated
without striking down the
protection of the First Amend
ment of discourse. discussion
and debate.
When public excitement runs
high as to alien ideologies. is
the time when we must be par
ticularly alert not to impair
the ancient landmarks set up
in the Bill of Rights.
The greater the Importance
of safeguarding the commu-
nifty from indictments to the
overthrow of our institutions
by force and violence, the more
imperative is the need to pre-
serve inviolate the constitu-
tional rights of free speech,
free press and free assembly in
order to maintain the oppor-
tunity for free political discus
sion. to the end that govern
ment may be responsive to the
will of the people and that
changes, if desired. may be
obtained by peaceful means.
Therein lies ,he security of the
Republic. the very foundation
of constitutional government"
Ode Jonge VS.. OregonD
If we weaken the safeguards
afforded under the Bill of
Rights we impair our position
with the democratic forces in
the world fighting against the
tyranny of Communism.
Safety Of society depends on
the tolerance of government
for hostile as we'll as friendly
criticism, that in a community
where mems minds are free,
there must be room for the
unorthodox as we'll as the Or
thodox views" (Supreme Court
Justice Douglas in Rumely
CaSe.)
In our proper concern for
the internal and external
threat of Communism and in
pursuing our efforts to strike
down this threat, we should
endeavor to be consistent and
not attempt to require a con-
formity in thought and be-
liefs that has no relevancy to
a present danger to our Sc
curity.
During the past few years
the experts have had many
conflicting and divergent views
on foreign policy. Many
thoughtful people and patri-
otic American citizens in 1888
and 1899 were not enthusiast

tic about our getting into the
war.
Violent changes in the think
ing of our people occurred in
a short period of time before
and after Germany broke with
Russia.
Attempts of the courts to
fathom modern political medi-
tatlons of an accused would
be as futile and mischievous
as the efforts in the Infamous
heresy trials of old to fathom
religious beliefs. 1t is true
that in England of olden times
men were tried for treason
for mental indiscretions such
as imagining the death of the
King. But our Constitution
was intended to end such pros
ecutions. Only in the dark
est periods of human history
has any Western government
concerned itself with mere be-
lief, however eccentric or mis-
chievous, when it has not ma
tured into overt action; and
if that practice survives any,
where, it is in the Communist
countries whose PHILOSOPHERS
we loathe." (Justice Jackson
in Douds case.)

Stevenson III india, Lauds
Refugees From China
By the AssocIossd Press .

SRINAGAR. Kashmir. May 2.
Adlai Stevenson told a group of
refugees from Communist China
tonight he had great respect for
people who love freedom more
than the comforts of life"
Addressing KAYAKS who es-
capped to Kashmir from Com
munist-occupied Sinkiang Prov
ince, Mr.. Stevenson said "the
American people deeply appre-
ciate the heroiSm and courage of
the KAYAKS in their arduous trek
from their homeland across the
snow-capped peaks and valleys
of the Himalayas to the safety
and freedom of Kashmir."
He was received at the KAYAK
camp by leader Ali Beg, who
thanked the people of the United
States for their relief efforts.
Bejeweled Kazak girls sang
songs of welcome.
Mr.. Stevenson squatted on a
bare floor and muhched Walnuts
offered by the widow of a KAYAK
leader killed by the Reds.

And several days ago, the
House Appropriations Committee
in reporting the State-Com-
merce-Justice 1854 money bill,
gave the Justive Department
summary power to fire any en-
ploye "in the interests Of the
United States"
4 *&
WIDE POWERS-The provi-
sion reads: Notwithstanding
the provisions of the Act of
August "a. 1912. or the provisions
of any other law, the Attorney
General may, in his discretion,
during the current fiscal year,
terminate the employment of
any officer or employe of the
Department of Justice whenever
he shall deem such termination
necessary or advisable in the in
terests of the United States"
This firing authority is not
new to Government. The So
called McCarran rider of several
years ago gives such authority to
the State and Commerce De-
partments, and the defense agen-
cies have somewhat similar
authority.
However, these departments
were given the authority because
they were sensitive units and
had to have authority to get rid
of security risks.
The Justice Department this
year asked for and received
from the committee the same
summary firing powers. Under
this authority, the department
head may fire an employe sum-
without giving him the
nature of the charges and deny
ing him any kind of an appeal
or hearing.
The powers are drastic and
the other departments have used
them sparingly, relying instead
on Public Law 733 of several
years ago which permits sensi-
tive agencies to fire employees in
security cases, but which pro-
vides for a hearing and the right
of an employe to know as much
of the nature of the charges
against him as national security
permits.

Congratulations on your ex-

habitually delinquent parents
and children" the principal wrote
Inspector Covell. "The account
in The Sunday Star of April 26

impetus toward making the pub

Wrote Ludwig Caminita, jr.,
public relations counselor and
member of the Board of Trade:
"You have hit one of the
major causes of this problem
right on the head: Parents who

their own small world, too busy

new authority given them by the
committee to fire incompetents
and political hacks" in the de-
partment.
With this authority, veterans
can be fired Summarily without
any appeals granted by the Vet
eranS Preference Act. Nom
veterans can also be fired sum-
marily, without being given the
reason for their dismissal or
written charges.
Since Attorney General !
BroWnell is one of the top off,
| cialS in the Eisenhower admins
tration and very close to the
President. the question arises
whether the other departments
and agencies which have this
authority will seek to follow the
Justice Departments lead in
using the power to get rid of
any employe they don't want,
without regard to previous laws
approved by Congress. It also
raises speculation whether addi-
tional departments and agencies
will seek such authority.
The Lloyd-LaFollette Act of
1912 guarantees Federal en-
ployes procedural safeguards
against arbitrary dismissal and
the right to written statement
of the charges against them. The
Veterans Preference Act guar
antees veterans the right of ap-
peal to the Civil Service Com
mission.
The summary dismissal rider
would abrogate all these rights.
Even the new security program
gives an employe some appeal
rights. He is entitled to a hear
ing before an agency board, the
right of counsel and the right to
know as much of the charges
against him as national security
permits
A number of Civil Service
Commission officials take a dim
view of the arbitrary firing rider.
They declare that Congress orig
inally meant it to be used only
in security cases that posed an
immediate threat to the national
security.
If these powers are used to cir
cumvent regular civil service and
veterans procedures set up by
laW-either through a sincere
desire to get rid of incompetents
or for political or personal mo-
tiveS-it will seriously weaken
the civil service system and de-
stroy employe morale. these off,
Gals believe.
They declare that the present
laws give agencies sufficient
authority to get rid of undesir-
able employees, without having
to use drastic arbitrary powers
contained in the rider.

group, said in a resolution at its
annual meeting that, present
uncertainty may seriously dam
age scientific programs of vital
concern to the national defense
and welfare"
Present difficulties" the res
olution said, require a state
ment from the President which
makes clear that:
Il. The integrity and objec-
tivtty of the Government SCI
entiflc operations will continue
inviolate;
20. The tenure of Office of Gov
ernment scientific and technical
personnel at all levels will be
dependent upon their profess
sional performance alone; and
"3. Government will continue
to encourage by policy and fl
nancial support high level of
scientific productivity"
Inspired by AStin Case.
The resolution was inspired
mostly by Secretary of Com
merce Weeks drive to oust DR..
Allen v Astin as Director of the
Bureau of Standards. DR.. Astin
was fired, effective April 18, but
the custer was postponed until
a 10-member committee can
complete an overall appraisal
of Bureau of Standards work.
There is urgent need for
President Eisenhower to clarity
publicly the attitude of his ad-
ministratlon on the relation of
science and Government" said
the resolution on behalf of the
federation's 1000 members.
considerable confusion and
apprehension have been created
in the public mind. and in the
scientific community. by the
controversy surrounding the Ma
tional Bureau of Standards and
by proposed reductions of the
research fund available to Gov
eminent scientific agencies.
Scientific Damage Feared.
Continuation of the present
uncertainty may seriously dam
age scientific programs of vital
concern to the national defense
and welfare.
THE trend indicated by events
at the Bureau of Standards have
not been checked by the actions
taken to rectify that specific
case. T'le postponement of DR..
AStin's resignation. and the ap-
pointment of study committees,
give an opportunity for con-
sidered judgment and hope for
an eventual satisfactory solution
to the bureau situation.
THE problem. however, now
involves Government scientific
operations in general"
The committee to appraise
bureau operations started work
last week. but two other planned
committees have not yet been
formed. One committee will
recommend persons qualified to
head the Bureau of Standards,
another will study the bureaus
