relished particularly Senator

outlaw the Communist Party.
Later Democrats were point
ing out that the Wisconsin

rate, Democrats felt they now

It was perhaps clever poll

y. S. Alert to Subversive Peril
Outowing Communist Party Result Of Steady Agitation
But Enforcement Agencies Will Foce New Problems

The dramatic effort of Con-
gress trying in the last few
days of the session to write a
bill that will reflect its deep
seated contempt for the Com
munist Party in the United
States unquestionably Is EVIL
dence of the Nations alertness
to the dangers Of infiltration
by subversive elements.
Since Republicans and Dem
ocrats in both the House and
the Senate joined by over
whelming votes to approve
various proposals of different
phraseology-but all of them
rendering the Communist or
ganization illegal as a political
party and calling it a con-
spiracy-there can be little
doubt that many months of
agitation on this subject have
finally had a cumulative effect.
For Martin Dies, Democrat,
long the foe of the Commu-
nists and the man who was
berated by the Roosevelt adj
ministration for seeing Reds
every night under the bed" it
has been an experience in vim
idication as he sees the Demo-
cratic Party leaders sponsor
ing his bill to outlaw the Com
munist Party, while the Re-
publicans join in passing it.
But, unfortunately, some OF
the new problems to be Gre
ated by the bill just passed
are greater for the enforce
ment agencies of the Govern
ment than they have been
before, and perhaps the new
bill is so worded that it will
be rendered imperative in
part when the courts get to
examining the constitutionality
OF some Of the phrases.

make difficult the actual at
tainment Of the detectives of

There has been talk of a
presidential veto-which, polit-
ically at least, would embar-
rasS the President but this is
not likely. The tendency now
adays is to accept unpalatable
legislation and seek immediate
amendment at the next ses-
sion, and that's probably the
wisest course to follow. espe-
cially with an election coming
on in November.
All sorts of predictions are
made that the new measure.
If enacted, will be held invalid
by the courts but, to save other
sections Of the bill, what is
known as a "separability
clause" has been attached so
that, if one part is held I'M
constitutional. that will not
affect the validity of the other
parts.
One thing Is clear-this Con-
gress is well aware that Com
munistS must be uprooted and
that infiltration In labor unions
and American institutions. of
all kinds must be stopped.
Whether the votes just re-
corded by the Democrats in

licanS will nevertheless point
to the belated nature Of the

is concerned there will not be

fact that the Democrats and
Republicans Wed with each

It has not been prepared for

House Approval

President Eisenhower today

Attorney General Brownell felt
that "a straight outlaw act

So the House came to the

they had met the dilemma.
But not so. Democrats in the

the administration, presse
their advantage. When the bill
got back there, they were
ready. SO was the very fluent
and agile Senator Humphrey.
Once again the amendment

Prime Minister Nehru of

unlooked-for reaction to his

The Indian leader seems to

and the other tiny Portuguese
enclaves from their European
domination. Nationalist DEM

forays within the territories

Indian police and armed forces
took up stations surrounding
the areas.
The way seemed clear for q
peaceful but potentially vio-

Sunday which was to take
over the Portuguese areas with
little or no resistance. The
march was originally heralded
as q huge demonstration to
include thousands Of patriotic
Indians.
But at the last moment Mr..
Nehru backtracked with adj
mirable dispatch. He issued
orders to the Indian border
police to keep all non-Goans
from participation In the
march. This Of course had
the effect OF changing the
affair from a torrent to a
trickle, since few Goans are
incensed enough over their
foreign bondage" to take part
In such extravaganzas.
So the march fizzled out in
the futile gesture of a "sei-
cure" of a Portuguese fortress
from eight bewildered Portu-
guese policemen. And even
that triumph was short-lived.

Gen. Van Fleet is fine Of

President Eisenhower is
suffering from a White House
complaint that often occurs
when war produces a surplus
of important military figures.
He is having general trouble,
meaning military generals. It
might be admirals. too, as it
was with Harry s. Truman,
who had both general and adj
miral trouble. But President
Eisenhower is not yet plagued
by admiralS.
OF course, there is always
Admiral Arthur w. Radford,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, in the background.
Admiral Radford favors pre-
cisely the same kind of war
against Red China as do Presi-
