Dorothy Thompson:

Many Americans believe that
the Rosenbergs were convicted
of treason, as they were not.
Others cannot understand why
espionage in wartime should be
considered a serious crime if
it is not directed to aiding an
enemy.
The American law against
espionage is not concerned
with traffic with an enemy
during war. That is a special
and other category of crime.
The law under which the
ROSenbergS were tried covers
espionage in behalf of any for
ei9n power, except, of course,
espionage conducted by the
Governments own intelligence
departments.
1t says: Whoever, with in
tent or reason to believe that
it is to be used to the injury
OF the United States or the
advantage of foreign nation,
communicates, delivers or
transmits, or attempts to COM
municate, deliver or transmit
to any foreign govern
ment >. either directly or in
directly any document or
information relating to the
national defense shall be i'm
prlsoned for not more than 20
years. Whoever violates this
statute in time of war shall
be punished by death or i'm
priSoned for not more than
80 years"
This is not a new law, de-
vised by witch hunters" to
frame" Communists. 1t was
passed nearly SO years ago,
two months after our en-
trance into World War 1, when
there was not a Communist
state in the world for which
any one could spy. Under it,
an offender need not have the
intent of injuring the United
States, if he does have the
intent of aiding any foreign
government.
1t is an extremely severe
law, and we may. therefore,
inquire why espionage during
wartime carries such extreme
penalties.
The penalties are severe be-
cause such espionage is highly
dangerous to national security.
Conceiyably, it might involve
national destruction.
Spies deal with other spies.

viously did not understand
when, in the very inception of
his campaign for the nomina-
ton, he committed himself to
the claim of his Texas friends
TO a species of States rights

This was made clear by the
surprise he expressed when in
formed that the Supreme
Court had held that the rights
of the Government in those
waters is paramount. He con-
tinued nevertheless to support
the claim of the interested
States.
Now, as President - and

many Senators and that Of
the public that his nicknames
of "Dullest" or Mr.. Purity"
were deserved. The usually
solemn and apparently humor-
less Dulles quipped and dis
played a sense of humor which

At the same time Mr.. Dulles

flying before Congress in open

irked so many congressman.
Mr.. Dulles gave the impression
that he considered his inter-

equals. But it was his formal
pledge that he would ask for
the Senators advice on all
major problems before the
President asks for their con-
sent to agreements and treaties
which created more good will
than all his other statements.
Republican and Democratic
Senators are equally angered
when their constitutional pre-
negatives are disregarded by
the executive branch of the
Government. Many of them
are still smarting because their
advice on the conduct of inter-

Lowell MeHett::

In most of the editorial ap-
praisal we read of Harry S.
Truman's career in public
Office the word courage" con-
Sistently appears. Whatever
his critics, friendly or un-
friendly, say about the depart
ing President, few fail to give
him credit for a stout heart,
a willingness to do the un-
popular thing when he thinks
it is right. And yet the first
reaction to one of the bravest
acts of his administration,
performed in the closing
hours. is of a different charac-
ter. His announcement of his
purpose to sign an executive
order transferring the coun-
try'S oil-bearing offshore
lands to the Navy has been
characterized by many hasty
thinkers as a bit of petty
spite. designed to embarraSS
President elect Eisenhower.
That it will embarraSS the
incoming President there is
no doubt. To carry out his
campaign promises he may
feel compelled to rescind the
executive order, leaving Con-
greSs free to enact quitclaim
legislation giving title to the
submerged land-and the oil
to the adjacent States. And
leaving himself free to sign
such legislation instead Of
vetoing it as Truman has
done.

Football Bribe Case
Given Grand Jury

Louis L. Glickfield, former
University of Maryland student,
yesterday was ordered held for
action of a Prince Georges Coun-
ty grand jury on a charge OF
attempted bribery of a univer-
slty football player.
Trial Magistrate Nita S. Hin
man Crane ordered bond con-
tinued at $2,500.
One of Glickfield's attorneys,
Charles E. Ford, renewed argu-
ments presented at an earlier
hearing before Judge Crane, con-
tending that the State had failed
to bring out that the football
game in question had been
played in Maryland.
Judge Crane had said she had
the right to take judicial notice
of the football schedule.
The point was raised because
MI. F'ord's associate. Attorney
Ignatius j. Keane of Hyattsville.
recently won a case in Virginia
by a contention that the prosecu-
ton had not proved jurisdiction.
In attempting to renew the
arguments, Mr.. Ford insisted the
judge was in error in taking ju-
dicial notice OF a fact. He said
a judge can take notice of ex-
listing law but he insisted that a
University of Maryland football
game has no relation to State
law.
Assistant States Attorney Will
mer D. PyleS said the subject had
been covered at the earlier hear
ing and he asked that the judge

Lowell MeLett:
One Final Display Of Courage
Truman Accepts Risk of Misunderstood Motives When He
Orders OI-Beorng Ofshore Lands Turned Over to Navy

throughout this long contro-
versy. 1t took courage, as a
politician, to defy the Demo-
cratic politicians of three
great States, important to him
in many ways. There never was
a time during his presidency
when he did not need their
support. 1t took courage, as a
politician. to defy the largest
pool of campaign money any,
where to be found. He elected
to do this and accept the con-
sequences, rather than betray
what he saw as the country'S
best interest.
The courage implicit in his
present action. however. is of
a different kind. The esteem of
the American people is very
dear to Truman. He has made
this clear over and over again
and in many ways. At times
he has almost pleaded for
understanding. In the weeks
since the election he has
sought to give every possible
aid to the man the people
have chosen to succeed him.
The generous sentiments he
has expressed for Gen. Eisen-
hover have come from his
heart. AS an American citizen
he wants the general to be a
good President and. above all,
he wants the American people
to know that this is his desire.
Yet. with full appreciation
that many will misunderstood
his motives. that he will be
accused of a mean purpose. he
is doing this one more thing he
believes he must do, for what
ever good may result.
