tC0ntinued from rage -
of honor in the finished upper
church.
The present Holy Father, Plus
XII, has also given his warmest
commendation to the appeal for
funds with which to complete the
national shrine. He said that he
learned with heartfelt rejoicing
that Catholics we're going to press
forward with the completion of the
magnificent church honoring the
Mother of God.
His Holiness noted that "all the
faithful of the United States" viii
be given the opportunity ito dem
onstrate their devotion to Our La
dy by contributing towards the
erection of her national shrine"
He then impaired his special Apos-
tolic Blessing upon all those who
help ''in this noble undertaking"
The work on the national shrine
has gone forward steadily but
slowly since May of 1920, when the
ten-acre site on which it will stand
was blessed. Wars and depressions
have held up the completion OF the
work until now.
The finished church will have a
total capacity of 5000 persons.
Like many of the great Cathedrals
of Europe, the church will have no
pews, thus providing an unobstruct-
ed approach to the great sanctuary,
which is planned to be large
enough to accommodate the entire
hierarchy of the United States
along with several hundred priests.
With the main altar in the cen
ter, the apse Of the church will be
divided into three major semi
circular portions dedicated 10 the
/ Joyful. SorroWful and Glorious
mysteries of the Rosary.
Many Affairs
Each of these three main portions
will be further divided into five
chapels, each representing par
ticular mystery. The upper church
alone will have twenty-eight side
affairs.
The commissioners of the city of
Washington waived the zoning re
strictions on the height OF build
4 ings so that the great dome which
will crown the church could be
raised to its full height of 243 feet.
The dome will be 108 feet in dia-
meter. The campanile or bell tow
er which will be to the left side OF
the church will tower 3l6 feet in
the air.
4 Even in view of its huge proper
tions. the church is being built
completely of masonry following
the example of the ancient Cathed-
ral-builders whose monuments IN
stone have lasted for centuries.
In closing his letter to the clergy
and laity of the Diocese, Bishop
Ready appealed to his subjects "to
consider it a privilege to make
generous contribution towards the
achievement of this filial and en-
during expression of love toi
Blessed Mother, Mary"

Dorothy THOMPSON:
President Demanded Too Much
Eisenhower Should Not Have Asked Soviets to Accept
What He Would Not Have Accepted in Turn

Russian government able to
keep the Soviets functioning
as a great power, any settle
ment must promise the Soviet
Union more security, within
her own frontiers, than any,
thing suggested by the Presi-
dent.
The disposition Of the East
European states certainly can
not be settled to the satisfac-
ton of any Russian govern
ment by free elections and
their eventual incorporation
in q broader" Europe allied
with a united Germany. West
ern Europe, and the United
States! That would create, in
the long run, a highly menac-
ing complex on the Soviet's
frontiers, whose actions the
United States could not, her.
self, eventually control.
A minimum settlement ac-
ceptable to Russia must pro-
tect her frontiers, and that
can not be insured by trust
that a united Europe, backed
by America, will never be
offensive.
Never demand of an oppo-
nent what one would not, in
his position, accept oneself. II
peace is the objective, this is
automatic.

State Department Morale High
Elimination Of Some of Rotten Apples in Foreign Service
Is Welcomed by Career Personnel Who Are Clean

Contrary to the impression
which has prevailed after q
number Of Foreign Service Of
f1cers were dismissed or forced
to resign. the morale Of State
Department officials-particu-
larly the professional diplo-
mats-has improved. These
men have known for some time
that there have been and still
are q number Of rotten apples
among them. Their elimination
is helping instead Of damaging
the prestige Of their profess
sion. An average of seven
employees now is being dismissed
every week. Out Of considera-
ton for their future in pri-
vate life. the Secretary Of
State accepts their resigna-
tions or requests to retire.
In spite Of the esprit de
corps which exists to a great
extent among the career men,
nobody objects to the removal
from the service of men guilty
OF perversion, even II some
times these men have a high
professional rating. The Sec
retary Of State Is determined
to have a high standard of
morality in our diplomatic
corps. There have been a few
cases when requests for reSig-
nation were sent to individuals
who were not perverts, but
were known to be either ex-
cessive drinkers or fond of a
great number Of illicit love
affairs.
These are all bad security
risks these days. Homosexuals
are exposed to blackmail; the
others are either easy victims
OF attractive espionage agents
or talk too much after having
absorbed too much alcohol.
So far, the present dismissals
although their tempo will be
accelerated in the next few
months to speed up a thorough
cleaning out Of undeSirableS-
are not the result of new in
vestigations made by w. Scott
Mcleod, director of personnel
and security of the depart
ment. He and his staff have
had time only to "look
around" and poke their noses
into files which have existed
in the State Department for
a number of years. They
brought them out, evaluated
them, and discovered to their
surprise that a number of off,
GERS who should have been
fired long ago had actually
been cleared and given pro-
motions. Some reports from
the FBI and other investigat-
ing agencies containing highly
derogatory and positive infor-
nation were just filed away
Evening star., 1953-04-22

and allowed to gather dust in
the safes Of the department.
Recently q prominent Senator
returned enraged to his Office
from q session with the Sec
retary Of State and other high
offcials. He told his colleagues
that q record containing the
full confession Of a Foreign
Service ofi1cer had been played
for him. This record had been
obtained early In 1852, and the
pervert. instead Of being in
stantly separated from the
service, was cleared a few
weeks later for an important
job abroad.
The instructions given by
Secretary Dulles to Undersec-
retary of State Donold Lourie
are that no party political con-
siderations must enter into the
evaluation of the files of the
Foreign Service officers.
In spite Of the pressure for
ambassadorial jobs for de-
serving Republicans who have
been out of Office for over 20
years, a substantial number Of
career men have either been
maintained in their posts or
have been now given diplo-
matte missions. The para
mount condition for the ap-
pointment of these persons is
that they must be clean" AS
a matter of fact, this require
ment applies also to the pat
ronage appointees. An FBI
field investigation is required
before the name of any new
chief of mission is sent for

hard fight necessary to get on
top of their military subordi-
mates. Former Secretary Pace
had frequently to acknowledge
that he simply was not in
formed; even Defense Secre-
tary Lovett said some problems
came to him only by rumor.
With this in mind, the Sem
ators naturally paid close at
tention to the testimony Of the
new Army Secretary, Robert
T. Stevens, who has been a
successful textile executive.
They gave him high marks for
sincerity, but they liked 1t
even better when he resisted
efforts by Army aides to at
tach a secrecy label to much
Of the questioning.
To one whispered word Of
guidance, Mr.. Stevens said
bluntly, II don't think that's
secret at ALL" and thoroughly
explored the matter.

How to Make the Reds Testify
There Is Way to Force Answers From Witnesses
Who Insist on Invoking Fifth Amendment
David Lawrence:

Using the typical Com
munist technique Of attempt
ing to confuse the issue, many
witnesses who have been asked
simple questions Of fact by
congressional investigating
committees now are trying to
abuse the nth amendment Of
the Constitution by claiming
that to answer would be to in
criminate them.
The cry Is being raised also
that the congressional COM
mittees are endeavoring to
force individuals against their
will to disclose their political
beliefs" Since membership in
the Communist Party has long
been identified as association
with an organization that
seeks to accomplish the over
throw Of the Government of
the United States by violence,
1t Is difficult to see how such
membership can be called "po-
litical." Nobody who belongs
to the Republican or Demo-
cratic or Socialist or Prohibi-
ton or American Labor Party
or any other minority party is
as a rule afraid to disclose
membership-he or she is
usually proud Of it.
It has been assumed by an
unknowing public that the
witnesses who refuse to testify
before the congressional COM
mittees are somehow willing
to tell everybody else the
truth. AS a matter of fact,
the Federal Bureau of Investi-
CATION has contacted nearly
all of the witnesses before they
appear at the hearings of con-
greSSional committees investi-
eating subversive activities
and, in almost all cases, the
witnesses who have declined
to answer the committees have
also refused to tell the FBI.
The argument given-namely.
that to tell on oneself means
involvement in Informing" on
others-is more of an excuse
than a reason.
Unfortunately, a number of
left wingers are beginning to
support the Communist tech
nique either by swallowing the
specious claim that to be a
Communist" is merely to hold
o political view or by contend

ance after the headlines have
faded away.
It is understood at the Cap
itol that the Rockefeller COM
mittee is almost ready to hand
Congress it's proposals about
how to streamline the Penta-
gon. This suggests the possi-
bility of a slight collision in
the two reports. Senators be-
lieve, however, that they have
had much the same testimony
from Army brass that was
given the Rockefeller commit
tee. Their hope and expecta-
ton, therefore, is that the two
groups will reinforce each
other.
Senator Byrd has had a long
experience and Senator Smith
was expertly trained on the old
Naval Affairs Committee by
the House wizard, Carl Vinson,
now ranking Democrat on
House Armed Services. They
realize it will not be easy to
find and to establish a new
system equating authority with
responsibility and all helpers
will be welcome.

Trajectory and confusing testi-
mony from a big parade Of
Army witnesses, some Armed
Services Senators came to one
firm conclusion. It is that

the Army have not put up the

Dorothy Thompson:

One Is inclined uncritically
to join the chorus of praise
for President Eisenhower's re-
sponse to Soviet peace over
lures. Much can be said in its
favor. The President recog-
nized that Europe is not the
rump created by its division
through Germany. This re-
vealS that the United States
Is prepared to redesign its
present policies, which have
been based on the indefinite
continuation Of an unnatural
condition.
Nevertheless. If, In a tense
international situation in
volving opposing powers, a
peace overture is made by one,
the response must be ad-
dressed to the power making
the overture. If the recipient
of the overture sincerely de-
sires a settlement, the re-
sponSe must not preclude ne
gotiation Of the main points
causing the tension. If the
recipient of an overture re-
plies by restating and even
extending his own position,
and implies that he will not,
for any considerations, depart
from it, his response is, in fact,
q rebuff.
AS I read the Presidents
speech. it seemed to me that.
with all his eloquent words for
peace, he was saying to the

ditions; If you want peace.

AS an address to the Amer
lean people, who want a

and praised by both parties,

an address to our European

with their task and ratify the

Former Senator George A.
Wilson Of Iowa has come for
ward with a suggestion that
legislation be introduced which
will safeguard the constitu-
tional right Of the citizen not
to be compelled to testify
against himself and yet pro-
: tect the constitutional right Of
the Congress to elicit informa-
ton without being defrauded
through the use Of the fifth
amendment as a subterfuge.
He proposes that the same
procedure now being used
when witnesses appear before
a grand jury, and refuse to
answer questions on the
ground of self determination,
be employed in connection
with congressional committee
hearings. His idea Is that a
law be enacted whereby a wit
ness who invokes the self
incrimination plea shall be
promptly required to go before
a United States judge in dis
trict court, and the witness
shall be ordered to appear at
a hearing and show cause why
he should not answer the
questions propounded. Both
the witness and the congress
sional committee would be rep
resented by counsel. If the
court finds the witness within
his rights, an order to that
effect would be issued. If the
court finds the witness re-
fuses to make full answers
that he should make, he could
order the witness to answer or
be committed to jail for con-
tempt.
While many Of the questions
asked of witnesses go far
afield, former Senator Wilson
says, "surely they demonstrate
that the claiming Of self-in-
elimination is being used as a
subterfuge and is worked over
time"
Mr.. Wilson has been a Gov
ernor. a member of Congress
and a judge. His proposal is in
line with others Of the same
kind pending before Congress.
