Julius and Ethel Rosenberg,
condemned to death as spies
for having stolen atom bomb
secrets and given them to
Russia. can have their lives
spared and their sentences
commuted-if they tell the
names of their accomplices
and give information that will
be useful in their arrest.
No formal offer has been
made, but in indirect ways the
fact is known to them that a
communication of sentence will
result If the convicted spies
reveal the information they
possess. Up to now, they have
been defiant. AS the hour nears
for execution of the death
sentence, there could be a
change in their adamant at
titude.
The theory of communication
is this: While the RoSenbergs
will be punished by a long
term prison sentence and be
eligible for parole in 20 years,
the United States would bene-
At by being able to detect other
spies in its midst, and partic-
ularly to prevent the theft of
further information by con-
Spirators-noW unknown-who
may do even more harm in the
future to our national security
than has been done already.
From the interest taken in
the case by the Soviet govern
ment, it is apparent Moscow is
grateful for what the Rosen-
bergs have done. Through So
Wet agents all over the world,
public pleas for mercy have
been stirred up and agitation
induced among groups of we'll
meaning citizens, many of
WEom do not know they are
being used as dupes in a world
wide propaganda campaign.
Day in and day out for sew
eral weeks now the Daily
Worker, organ of the Com
munists in America, has been
playing up the Rosenberg case,
proclaiming the innocence of
both Julius and Ethel and
streSSing the same note of
martyrdom which is often
associated with such smoke

COP. .'s>Pussive Role
President Will Be Glad to See Congress
Go Home, Since 1t Is Doing Nothnq

There do not seem to be any
strong men lurking in the
wings, however, with the force
to upset present adjournment
plans. Representative Reed.
the House Ways and Means
chairman who wants a tax cut,
is almost the only really vocal
complainer.
Senator Knowland, acting
floor leader, is in no sense act
ing arbitrarily when he issues
forecasts for limited action.
They truly reflect present
sentiment.
AS an additional precaution,
he also intends to submit the
fate of individual bills to con-
ferences of all Republican SEN
ators. Next week, for example,
Senator Bricker is scheduled
to plead at such a gathering
for consideration Of his con-
Stitutional amendment curb
ing the Presidents treaty.
making powers. This amend
ment is now opposed by Presi-
dent Eisenhower and has lost
much Of its steam anyway,
with the passing of Mr.. Tru-
man from the Washington
scene.
Those who travelled with
Gen. Eisenhower last week re-
port that he threw himself
into his political speechmaking
with real zeal. They suggest
that he thinks he can increase
his Eisenhower Republican
majorities in the next election
so that the going will be easier
for him. 1t is true that all his
conflicts so far have been not
with Democrats. but with Re-
publicans.
Whether he can do it with
so limited legislative record
behind him is what political
veterans question. They sug-
gest that in an election year
the kind of generalizations he
offered as achievements to his
South Dakota audience will
not be acceptable.

High Hopes Of West in Al! of Europe and Asio

In his speech of April Is,
President Eisenhower called
for Soviet deeds as augurs of
peaceful intentions. Now the
deeds are following thick and
fast. but. as could have been
anticipated. they are not aimed
at conciliating the United
States. but at shattering Amer
lean world policy, strengthen
ing the, Soviet position on the
Eurasian continent, and iSo-
lating the United States politi-
cally and militarily. For this
purpose Soviet weapons are
not military but diplomatic,
and they are being used with
sensational speed and f1nesSe.
Within the Soviet Union it.
self radical changes are being
made in concession to local
and regional patriotisms. Mel

Communist Party, has been
removed and replaced by A. L.
Kirichenko. the first Ukrainian
In years to hold the post. The
famous writer, Korneichuk,
who a few months ago was
systematically berated in the
Soviet press for bourgeois ma
tionalism," has become Ukrain-
ian Vice Premier.
We may anticipate that
further moves will be made
to placate national-patriotic
sentiments in the satellite
states. That the tendency is
distinctly Titoist is borne out
by the complete change of tone
toward Marshal Tito himself,
and the resumption of diplo-
matte relations with Yugo-
Slavia and Greece.
The new Soviet regime has
formally abandoned all terri
torial claims on Turkey, while
suggesting renegotiation of the
straits settlement.
Most sensational of all has
been the about-face in East
Germany.
The East German govern
ment and new Russian high
commissioner have recOnciled
themselves with the German
Evangelical Church which
commands the fidelity of eight
ninths of the East German pop
ulation; have ordered cessation
of farm collectivization and

prisoners; abandoned with

Book on Funerals
Used at Wedding
Instead of Bible
By the Associated Press

DALLAS, June 1.-THE Rev.
John Shanks, youth director at
Cliff Temple Baptist Church
here, was called on to substitute
for the pastor at a wedding.
1t was a busy night. Mr..
Shanks arrived just in time to
escort the couple to the Office.
He hadn't troubled to bring a
Bible because there was always
one on the minister's desk. This
time there wasn't. He spied a
book that looked like a Bible,
grabbed it, went through the
ceremony from memory.
After saying. IT pronounce you
man and wife" he looked down
and saw he was holding THE
Funeral Encyclopedia"

Doris Fteeson::

That school of thought which
contends that the less the
politicians monkey with the
country, the better, is about
to have its innings.
The Eisenhower adminiStra-
ton has Joined it.
Leading Republicans now say
privately that nothing con-
troversial has any chance of
enactment before Congress ad-
journs this summer. Appro-
priations. of course, must be
approved. An effort will be
made to push the reciprocal
trade extension bill to final
passage. An offShore oil bill
will be brought up.
So perhaps will other meas
ures like Hawaiian statehood.
But if determined opposition
develops, such legislation will
not be pushed.
The White House frankly
wants Congress to 60 home.
Largely contributing to their
attitude are the means and
groans of the new cabinet Off
GERS who complain they are
having, to spend most of their
time on the Hill before they
have had a chance to learn
their jobs.
Republican congre ssional
majorities in both House and
Senate are yielding to White
House desires without a Strug-
gle. Their margins are so mar
row as almost to be tentative
anyway. The loss of Senator
Taft from active floor man
agement contributes to the
lack Of enthusiasm for legis-
lative battles.
The Republican strategy is
not universally admired. Some
shrewd veterans believe the
new President is making a Sc
rious mistake in not pressing
harder while his prestige is
high. They also question
strategy that puts over into an
election year all the hardest
problems.

This goal aims at replacing
the Adenauer regime by a

the reunification bridge, and
thus to achieve several years
of rehabilitation from below,

and this has been followed by
inspired dispatches telling Of
the possibly profound adverse
effect abroad in the event that
the sentences are carried out.
Also, the White House has
been picketed and every single
trick Of legal maneuvering has
been used and lots of money
spent to try to save the lives
Of the RoSenbergs. How has
this money been spent and
where did it come from? Some
congressional inve stigating
committee might well look into
the numerous activities, in
clud1ng the special trains to
Washington from New York.
which must have been financed
by so-called Americans and
perhaps by the Soviet's own
funds.
The Rosenbergs are guilty
of one of the worst crimes in
American history. Benedict
Arnold's treason, for which he
paid the death penalty, was in
significant in comparison to
the crime of the Rosenbergs.
For they also betrayed their
country in wartime - during
the year 1914 and since. Much
of the evidence is still classi-
fed and was impounded by the
court. It is important not to
let Soviet Russia know just
what was recovered out of the
papers that were transmitted.
The other day Harold Urey. a
prominent scientist who want
ed the Rosenbergs' sentence
commuted. sent a message to
the White House claiming that
the two accused persons could
not have transmitted orally
the scientific information they
were alleged to possess. But
the fact is the information and
sketches were on paper, and a
spy can act as a courier with
out being a scientist.
The enormMy of the crime
has never been publicly dis
closed, but it Is known that

to the Russians than the overt
acts committed by the Rosen-

information relating to new

man of New York, who knows
the facts about what the Ros-
enbergs did steal, expressed
himself this way on April 5
last when he pronounced the
death sentence:
'Your crime is worse than
murder. Plain. deliberate, con-
templated murder is dwarfed
in magnitude by comparison
with the crime you have COM
mitted. In committing the act
of murder, the criminal kills
only his victim. The imne-
diate family is brought to grief
and when Justice is meted out
the chapter is closed. But in
your case, I believe your con-
duct in putting into the hands

which will demonstrate with
finality that this Nations Sc
curity must remain inviolate:
that traffic in military secrets,
whether prompted by slavish
devotion to a foreign theology
or by a desire for monetary
gains, must cease"
The Supreme Court Of the
United States has examined
the law and the record and has
affirmed the sentence. Only
by demonstrating that they
will give their allegiance to the
United States instead of Rus
sia, which they can do by tell
ing all they know, can the Ros-
enbergs save their own lives.
