PLAIN TALK

| Ln1nS.
Angel Tspriel: And rabbi
says i'll"
And they all wept not with bit
serness but in most brotherly love
for the rabbi; since it is the time
less way Of angels never to be
angry in fault-finding but always
kindly. Yes: One of Gabriels
tears descended toward the earth
to fall on the rabbits head in
blessed friendliness.
Then when their great hears
had cried to a fullness. Angel Sag
nazgael addressed them: Let us
now adjourn to our seminary to
study again about brotherhood
from the sacred books" And they
took their holy books and studied
from Them as they sat all around
the great circle Of their seminary.
Angel Gabriel began with a
reading from Leviticus: "Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as myself.
Thou shalt not hate thy brother
in thy heart"
Angel Gabniel: And til a +
means not only that the Jewish
neighbor shall be loved or only
that the Jewish brother shall not
be hated"
Angel Michael: eyes, it says
here further: The stranger that
sojourneth with you shall be unto
you as the home-born among you,
and thou shalt love him as thy
SELF"
Angel Ashriel: And that is
brotherlY love which is brother
hood and why is it said out Of
RoxburY that brotherhood is a
foolish thing?"
At this moment certain great
rabbi out of old, old times was
passing by the seminary of the
angels and overheard all this talk
Of brotherhood and of the rabbi
in Roxbury. So Rabbi Judah ben
Shammua took steps into the
seminary and spoke to the angels:
Gentlemen, what you have been
saying on brotherhood reminds
me of what I myself once said to
the Romans. That was in the time
when Romans were over PaleS-
tine and were prosecuting the
Jews. I spoke up to committee
of their leading men. l said to
these Romans: Are we not your
brethren, are we not the sons of
the same father and the same
mothers? Wherein do we differ
from all other people that you
issue such cruel DEGREES against
us. And, do you know, gentlemen,
these Romans understood what /
was trying to tell tn m about
brotherhood and its meaning;
even these who were called pa
gans. They annulled their de-
cree. "
The angels gave out loudest ap-
plauss at this. and for a moment
Angel Zuriel laughed. saying:
Maybe we can make ourselves
heard even as far off as RoxburY."
And Angel Sagnazgael added:
what the good rabbi ben Sham
mau has just told us should re-
mind us of what the prophet
Malachi-blessed be his name!-
said on the matter of brother
hood" And from the book of
Malachi he read: Have we not
all one father? Hath not one God
created us? Why do we deal
treacherously every man against
his brother profaning the cove
nant of our fathers?"
With that. these studies Of the

go because the document con-
stituted an unauthorized use Of
information which was classified
as confidential" The Attorney
General advised that the au-
thentic, l5-page memorandum
could not be disclosed because it
was also classified confidential, !"
and its contents should not. in
the national interest. be made
public.
Senator Mccarthy insisted
upon his right to receive and
to use such documents regard
less Of their confidential CLASH
fication by the FBI and regard
less Of any ruling by the Attor-
new General of the United
States.
With respect to this matter.
our conclusions are as follows:
We believe 1t highly probable
that the person or persons who
are responsible for this 2h-page
document and used the name Of
j. Edgar Hoover thereon violated
the law. Prima facie. this was q
fraudulent attempt to represent
the letter as q copy of an official
Government document signed by
]. Edgar Hoover. 1t Is obvious
that the person or persons who
originally prepared this 2k-
page document had access to the
15-page memorandum. In our
opinion, on the basis of the rec
ord of these hearings, this would
constitute an unauthorized use
of q classified document-the Is
page memorandum.
Up to Justice Department.
The responsibility for final de-
termination with respect to
whether an offenSe was commit
ted in this connection and. for
taking appropriate action there
on is reposed in the Department
Of Justice. to whom has already
been transmitted the transcript
Of these proceedings.
Senator Mccarthy defended
his right to receive this CLASH
fed document and refused to di-
vulge the name of the Army Of
ficer from whom he claimed to
have received it. He further at
tempted, and defended his right.
to use this document in the pub
lie hearings of this subcommittee
despite the fact that it was clas-
sified "confidential'-the high
est classification Of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation. Whether
he made his attempt knowing
the document was spurious, or
whether he was unaware of it,
we do not know. But q serious
question arises as to whether the
Espionage Act tl8 use. 1881
has been violated through re-
ceipt and attempted use Of the
document in public hearings.
This act provides in part. as fol-

pIoyesIn the course OF Sena-
tor McCarthy's cross-examina-
ton of Secretary Stevens about
personnel ct Fort Monmouth.
the Senator produced docu-
ment which he stated was q copy
Of q letter dated January &c,
1851. from Hon. J. Edgar Hoover,
Director of the Federal Bureau
OF Investigation. The copy Of the
letter was marked Personal and
Confidential"
Confidential" is the highest
secret classification of the Fed
eral Bureau Of Investigation.
Senator Mccarthy produced
the purported letter for the ap-
parent purpose Of showing that
the Army had received in adj
vance an FBI report concerning
certain employees at Fort Mon
mouth, but had failed to take
action thereon. Because, the doc
ument was classified, the menu
bers of the subcommittee, Spe-
cial Counsel Jenkins, Counsel
WEIGH for the Army, and other
principals to the proceedings re-
fused to read it pending a check
with Mr.. Hoover as to its au-
thenticity and use.
This check with Mr.. Hoover
showed that the document that
Senator Mccarthy attempted to
Use was spurious. It was not a
copy Of any communication sent
by Mr.. Hoover or the FBI to
Gen. Boiling The FBI did have
in its files a 15-page interde-
partmental memorandum of the
same date as the spurious letter
which memorandum the FBI
had sent to Gen. Boiling. In
addition to the differences in
lengths. this 15-page memo
randum differed in substantial
respects from the 2A-page doc
ument.
The 2A-page letter" APP
peared to be q letter, while the
former was in the form Of a
memorandum.
The "letter" commenced with
the salutation Sir" while the
memorandum bore no salutation
other than the usual From"
and ITO" heading of a memo
randum.
The letter" ended Sincerely
yours, ]. Edgar Hoover" while
the memorandum carried no
such signature.
The letter" was marked Per-
sonal and Confidential, via liai-
son." while the memorandum
was marked Confidential via
liaiSon.',
The 15-page memorandum
contained information concern
ing a number Of persons named
therein, but no eyaluation of
such information. The 2A-page
document eliminated the infor-
nation and substituted an Nval-
uation.
However. the first, second,
third, fourth, sixth, seventh and
eighth paragraphs Of the men,
orandum and the 2A-page doc
ument were identical.
Quizzed As to Source.
When it appeared that the
2A-page document was spurious,
Senator Mccarthy was ques-
toned as to its source. He testi-
fed that it had been given to
him by young Army officer"
but refused under any circum-
stances" to reveal the name Of
the alleged Army officer.
Upon inquiry by the acting
chairman of the subcommittee,
the Attorney General of the
United States advised that the
2A-page document could not be
made public because % Mr..
Hoover had never written a let
ter of which it purported to be
a copy: (2) because the docu-
ment contained purported eval-
uation of information which had
not been made by the FBI; and

B. Senator McCarthy.s attacks
upon individuals: and
G. The 2 page document and
Senator McCarthy's plea to Gov
eminent employees.
A. Loyalty Board Related to
some Of the issues involved in
this overall controversy is the
question of whether members Of
q loyalty security board should
be. or can be, required to testify
before a congressional inyesti-
eating committee. The Army,
fortified by high level policy,
had. previous to these hearings,
taken the position of refusing to
permit Its loyalty security board
members to respond to a demand
from Senator Mccarthy as
chairman Of the Senate Investi-
cations Subcommittee for their
appearance and testimony In an
investigation which he was UNI
dertaking TO conduct.
Senator Mccarthy had an
nounced for the record that he
wanted their appearance mot
only to discuss with them why
they have cleared people who are
obviously Communists, but we
are also interested in matters of
graft. alleged corruption and
misconduct on the part of the in
dividuals Of the board, having
nothing to do with their oficial
duties
While we do not presume to
be the final authority. we do
feel that our views are in order.
Modern Governmen has
brought about the development
in the executive branch of a
large number of quasi judicial
functions. Loyalty boards are
among the most recent examples.
In short, the problem is to what
extent the doctrine Of judicial
immunity applies to persons ex-
erciSing quasi-judicial functions
and powers within the executive
branch.
We know Of no statute, or of
any executive order, that makes
members of loyalty boards inn
mune from subpoena. In our
option. they are required to re-
spond to a lawful demand for
their appearance. Also in our
opinion. they are required to tes-
tify to all matters that do not
inquire into their discretion and
reasons for their judicial de-
examinations.
II, howeveS. during the course
OF their interrogation, they are
asked questions intended or cal.
culated to elicit answers relating
to discretion and judgment they
may have exercised in the dis
position Of loyalty cases, we do
not believe they can be COM
PEELED to. answer. So far as we
know. however. there is no court
precedent for guidance.
B. Senator McCarthy's attacks
upon individuals.-Early in the
hearings, Senator Mccarthy. adj
dressing the chairman. said:
-. as the chair well knows,
we have hard and fast rule in
this committee, and we followed
1t now since I have been chair
man, and it is a rule that the
acting chairman, / think.
has heartily approved of, and
that Is this: That no man Is
publicly accused unless he is in
the committee room and allowed
to step up and answer. Now /.
think that is good rule, and /
think. we should follow that
here
Senator Mccarthy throughout
the hearings violated this rule
by referring to and attacking
the character and impugning the
loyalty of individuals who were
In no way associated with or in
volved in the proceedings.
For these acts we think SEN
ator Mccarthy merits criticism.

Upon the filing of the counter

conclude to examine here only

Mccarthy and Mr.. Cohn adopted
them as their own and made
them public on March IL.
Mr.. Carr testified he was un-
able to specify any incident that.
might be regarded as q threat
Of blackmail. Some Of his replies
to questions addressed to him
on this score are set forth in the
summary of evidence and need
not be repeated. The real base
lessness of these charges. how.
ever, is summed up in Mr.. Cars
answer to the question:
ibid you have any informa-
tion that the Army was misusing
Pvt. Schine in any way?"
Carr replied:
mo. Let me think for o Sec
ond here. don't recall any in
formation that the Army was
misusing Pvt. Schine, no sir. But
that didn't prevent alertneSS to
such a possibility. no SIR
The lameness Of that answer
needs no comment.
Another instance Of improper
means charged against the Army
was the attempted blackmail by
alleged threats Of Mr.. Adams to
give Pvt. Schine an overseas as
signment. This charge is not SUBJ
stantiated by the evidence. An
overseas assignment is the nor
NAL and routine experience Of
possibly 90 per cent Of the
draftees In the Army. The very
charge and any attempt to sus-
tain it must be promised upon
the unusual and solicitous inter-
est Of Mr. Cohn in his efforts
to secure special privileges and
preferential treatment for MFR.

mourning would interfere with his
being drafted. Mr.. Adams trans
mitted that information to Sec
rotary Stevens. Nevertheless Sec
rotary Stevens conferred with
Secretary Wilson with reference
to MIR. Schine's avoiding basic
training. He also personally con-
ferred with Mr.. Allen Dulles, di-
rector Of the CHA, about q po-
sition for Mr.. Schine in that
agency. On November 2, Secre.
tary Stevens arranged for q Ia
day furlough for MIR. Schine upon
his being induced into the serv-
ice the following day. On Mo-
vember z Senator Mccarthy
phoned Secretary Stevens. That
call was monitored. Notwith-
standing the information thus
impaired to him, Secretary Ste
vens thereafter. at the instance
OF Mr.. Cohn. arranged for Pvt.
Schine to have most unusual
pass privileges that resulted In
leaves aggregating all or part
OF "a days out Of the 81 days
that he was stationed at Fort

Problems Todoy
BY MurieI Nissen

DEAR MISS NISSEN: Just
how can / 60 about getting in
formation In q tactful fashion
on the family Of my daughters
sutton? They live quite some
distance away. Their son is anx-
ious to present our daughter
with. an engagement ring, but
we would like to know some
thing about his background be-
fore they get too serious. I
want to avoid offending the
boy or his family. :.
MRS. r. D.
ANSWER: If you will appre-
ciate the fact that the boys
family is Just as anxious to
know about you people, you'll
find 1t much easier to approach
the problem. They almost GER
tainly are concerned with the
same question that Is upsetting
you. If you have become very
friendly with the young man,
1t shouldn't be difficult to ask
him about his parents, his home,
etc. You might say you'd like
to see pictures of his folks. 1t
would be quite in order for you
to write his mother, suggesting
that. since the young people
are about to become engaged,
you and she should enter into
a correspondence to create a
more friendly atmosphere all
around. I'm sure she'd like to
know your reaction to the en-
gagement, as you would be
pleased to know hers. If you
want further. more complete, or
more direct information, you
might write the clergyman of
the boys church, asking his
advice.
Your wish to know more of the
boys background is commend
able. A girl in love can scarcely
be expected to have a practical
view Of her romance, yet so much
marital misery could be avoided
if little investigation preceded
the nuptials. So many young men
leave wives and families in a
home town. then GO elsewhere to
do more wooing. The disillusion
suffered by a girl who was too
trusting certainly should be
avoided If possible. I'm sure your
daughters friend has nothing to
hide, but what you want Is as
surance on this point. not guess
work. A pleasant relationship de-
veloped between both families
can forestall most in-law trouble,
but it's a wise parent who rec
ogniZeS this truth and endeavorS
to do something about 1t. Again,
congratulations on your sensible
attitude.
