Sees No u. S. Job
For BoIky Employees

In my mind there is no room
in Federal service for an en-
ploye who refuses upon the
ground Of privilege to answer
a congressional committees
inquiry dealing with his loyalty
or other conduct affecting the
Nations security. Suppression
of truth in any case is bad
enough. In no event can it be
justified by a Government en-
ploye or applicant for Govern
ment employment in the face
of a congressional inquiry
where the interests of the ma
tional security are at stake. No
one denies that the Govern
ment employe or applicant for
such employment may consti-
tutionally claim his privilege
against standardization. But
on the other hand, no one has
a constitutional right to Gov
ernment job.
It is one thing to find a per-
son unworthy of trust where
he has no opportunity to be
heard. It is still another thing
where an opportunity is af-
forded to person to be heard
for the purpose of erasing sus-
picion of his loyalty or miscon-
duct but he stands mute under
cover of his privilege against
self determination. rs it not
reasonable to believe that a

Witnesses Privilege
Bar to Justice

Almost every heinous crime
on the law books, committed
by individuals or by groups,
remains uncovered because of
the privilege against self
1ncrimination. But it is in
the area of subversion and dis
loyalty particularly that the
privilege has a field day." It
is here that legislative COM
mittees and grand juries are
held at bay for years from
learning who are plotting the
country'S destruction, merely
because witnesses are relieved
of giving essential information
upon the ground of privilege.
1t is little wonder that law
abiding citizens frequently are
heard to say that SubverSives
and other WrongdoerS are un-
duly coddled by existing law.
They find it difficult to under
stand why the privilege against
standardization should OPP
crate as a license to disloyal
persons and criminals to prey
upon a democratic society.
They express amazement that
the Congress and the courts
should continue to put UP
with subterfuge and conceal
ment in place of truth at a
time when the peril from
communism is SO great and
when crime is so rampant.
They earnestly urge upon us
the vital need for moderniz-
ing the legal weapons for
fighting subversion and crime.
The Federal Government has
tried it's best to clean its own
house" On April q, 1858, the
President by executive order
established his security re-
quirements for employment so
that persons employed by the
Federal Government r will be
reliable, trustworthy, of good
character and loyal to the
United States. This morning
Evening star., 1953-10-14

the President amended his ex-
ecutive order so as to provide
that where a Government en-
ploye refuses to testify before
a congressional committee re-
garding charges of his diSloy-
atty or misconduct, an agency
may take this factor into con-
sideration in determining
whether the persons contin-
ued employment is inconsist-
ent with the national security.
This amendment to the Presi-
dents executive order is in
accord with my opinion that a
Government employe who
claims privilege in a congress
sional investigation may be too
much of a risk to be retained
in Federal service.
Evening star., 1953-10-14

Following is a partial tert OF
a speech By Attorney General
BrowneH deliuered at the NG-
tionGl Press Club today:
Apart from the World Sc
ries, perhaps there has been
no more publicized topic of
news coverage in recent
months than those IA magic
words, "I refuse to answer
upon the ground that it might
tend to incriminate me-" To-
day this is the topic of my
discussion.
The fifth amendmen to the
Federal Constitution provides
that no person shall be COM
PEELED in a criminal case to
be a witness against himself"
The courts have construed
this provision to mean that a
person may remain mute be-
fore a Congressional Commit
tee, a grand jury or trial court,
if a criminal charge, no matter
how remote, may possibly be
asserted against him with re-
spect to any matters as to
which he is questioned. SUBJ
versives and criminals have
not been slow to rely upon
this provision which was writ
ten into our Constitution to
protect law-abiding citizens
against tyranny and despot-
ism. Can we afford to permit
these wrongdoers to try to de-
stroy the institutions of free
dom by hiding behind the
shield of this constitutional
privilege?
1t is my opinion that the
interests of justice and the
Nations safety will best be
served, without loss or inn
pairment of constitutional
privileges, II testimony of wit
neSses can be compelled, upon
grant of immunity from GRIM
inal prosecution.
Congressional investigating
committees have traditionally
been regarded as having these
principal functions: To secure
information by which Congress
may exercise an informed
judgment in legislating wisely,
and to check administrative
agencies for determining
whether they are properly
enforcing the law and judi
Ciously spending the public
funds. For these purposes,
congressional committees may
summon witnesses and require
their testimony under penalty
of contempt proceedings.
Evening star., 1953-10-14
People AIerted
To SubVersive Threat

In recent years many of
these investigating commit
tees have been particularly
concerned in alerting the
American people to the nature
of subversive and other GRIM
inal activities; the many forms
that these activities take; and
how they threaten the demo-
cratic processes.
Some persons have been
critical of these Investigations,
claiming that they restrict
freedom of speech by stigma
tizing expressions of unpopu-
lar views. Freedom of speech,
they say, implies freedom not
to speak at all. Since wide
publicity is given to these pro-
ceedings by newspapers, radio
Evening star., 1953-10-14

and television, the complaint
is also that these persons in
vestigated are exposed to pos
Sible insult, ostracism and loss
of employment. It is urged
that mere mention of a per-
sons name in connection with
an investigation that has wide
spread news value may create
q distorted and unfair public
impression. Another point
made is that proof of inno-
cence may never catch up"
with public assertions of
guilt" It is also said that if
these persons decline to pro-
fess any statement of belief
before a committee they in
vite punishment for contempt"
Unquestionably, every effort
should be exerted to protect
the right of our people to speak
and think freely. We should
dread the day when the peo-
pie could justifiably become
wary of expressing unorthodox
or unpopular opinions.
AS against these threats to
our precious liberties we must
also weigh the possible harm to
the public safety and welfare,
without which there can be no
liberty for any one. :.
I know of no constitutional
right of privacy which i'm
munizeS a person from giving
evidence. where an inquiry is
conducted by a legally ccnsti-
tuted congressional committee.
The person owes this duty as
a citizen just as he owes the
duty to furnish relevant and
truthful testimony in a court
OF law. He violates his duty
as a citizen when he suppresses
the facts concerning criminal
activity known to him. So long
as the questions are pertinent
and germane to a lawful in
quiry of Congress, the indi-
vidual is not relieved from
answering because they delve
into his private affairs. his
previous utterances, or his
Affiliations, political or other
wise. The constitutional guar
antee of freedom to express
ones views does not include
immunity from congressional
inquiry as to what one has
said, subject to ones privilege
against self discrimination.

son of 1412 North Highland
street, Arlington.
The policeman and the boy
went to headquarters, where Ju-
venile authorities told Ted the

has a standard-size vehicle with
license and registration.
The young mechanical genius
described his vehicle for curious
bystanderS near police head
quarters. 1t is powered, he ex-
planned, with a one -and-one
half horsepower motor, is steered
with ropes, has mechanical wood
block brakes and a throttle

Browne Outlines Proposal for Law Granting Witnesses Immunity

ernment, as well as by some
States and cities, still fall far
short of the mark. In the first
place, public employees cover
only a small segment of the
people. Second, dismissal from
employment, whether it be
government or private, does
not go far enough, if vital in
formation of subversion or
other serious crimes continues
to be withheld.
What the critical situation
of our time calls for is a
law compelling testimony
within the framework of the
Constitution. The answer to
this need is immunity legisla-
tion which will be as broad as
the privilege which is sup
planted. Then If a person is
adjudged in contempt for re-
fuSing to testify before a con-
gressional committee, he will
know that the judgment of
contempt will more likely stand
up on appeal free from con-
Stitutional challenge.
There are already two pro-
posals pending in Congress
which seek to compelthe an
swer by witnesses of questions
put to them before congress
sional committees, grand juries
or courts. In exchange for this
compulsory testimony, the wit
neSSeS will obtain complete
immunity from prosecution. -.
It is my opinion that if any
measure is to be enacted per-
mitting the granting of i'm
munity to witnesses before
either House of Congress, or its
committees, it should vest the
Attorney General, or the At
torney General acting with the
concurrence of appropriate
members of Congress, with the
authority to grant such i'm
munity.
Accordingly. the Department
of Justice will recommend to
the Congress in January an i'm
munity bill :. which protects
the constitutional privileges of
witnesses but will at the same
time aid materially in stamp
ing out criminal and subversive
activities.

person who refuses to explain
his actions and disprove
charges of disloyalty or other
grave misconduct is a person
whose employment would be
inconsistent with the interests
of national security? The
question carries with it its
own answer.
There is no law which re-
quires the Government to sit
supinely by until the suspected
employe has been convicted of
disloyalty or other similar mis-
conduct inconsistent with the
interests of the national Sc
curity before it can separate
him from the Government
service. There is no law which
requires the Government to
assume or endure such a risk.
