Senator McCurthy's Crime

The question of whether Senator Mccarthy
is guilty of any criminal offense in receiving
classified information and then shielding his
informant is one which properly should be
determined by the appropriate authorities.
Meanwhile, it may be useful to examine
what the Senator is doing from slightly diff
ferent point of view.
Buster and threats do not alter the fact
that Senator Mccarthy has put himself in a
most unadmirable position. He has tried to
get into the record of the Army Mccarthy
hearing spurious letter, falsely purporting to
have been written by FBI Director j. Edgar
Hoover Despite the fact that this "letter"
contains information classified by the FBI as
confidential, Senator Mccarthy has tried to
have it published.
Further than this, Senator Mccarthy has
testified that the "letter" was given to him by
a young officer in Army Intelligence. If this
is true the officer is guilty of breach of trust
a violation of his oath and perhaps of
criminal ofense. He is security risk If there
ever was one, and he would doubtless be court
martialed and dismissed from the service if
his identity could be established. 1t has not
been established because this security risk is
being shielded by Senator Mccarthy.
The committee has ruled that Senator Nc
Carthy cannot be required to name his inform
ant But this does not mean that the Senator
can escape the consequences of refusing to do
SO. This officer, in violation of his OATH leaked
confidential information to Senator Mccarthy
last year. He assumed the right to use his own
judgment as to what should and should not be
treated as secret formation-which is pre-
cisely what has been done by the pro-Commu-
mist betrayers of this country. If this officer
who violated his oath by leaking confidential
information to Senator Mccarthy last year is
still in service, he may leak confidential in
formation to some one else this year or next
year. And it will be possible for him to do this
because he is being protected by Senator Nc
Carthy-the man who shouts from the house
tops that his mission in life is to rid the
executive branch of the Government of Com
munists security risks and all others who
cannot be trusted with the Nations secrets

Carlton From the Netherlands

Many WashingtonianS, reading about the
gift of the carlton of 49 bells as an expression
of gratitude from the people of the Netherlands
to the people of the United States, must have
thought of how great part such instruments
of music have played in Western civilization All
bells of public import, it seems, have connota-
tions of freedom. 1t has been so in Italy, France,
Germany Great Britain and many other coun-
tries in centuries past. When the Liberty Bell at
Independence Hall in Philadelphia peaed out
it's glad tdngs on July 8, 1776, it spoke with its
solemn iron voice, as its inscription says, "to
all the earth and all the inhabitants thereof"
The Dutch carlton standing on the shore of
the Potomac has the same significance. It SYM
Netherlands community for the services of
brave Americans, living and dead, who fought
not merely for Dutch liberation but for liberty
throughout the world. Receiving it in that gen.
erous spirit, Joseph w. Martin, Speaker of the
House Of Representatives, welcomed the bells
for what they will mean in the future as well
as for what they mean in relation to the past
A numerous company, not only assembled
for the bells dedication, but scattered in every
quarter of the globe, must have Joined in the
prayer first phrased by Tennyson in the words,
Ring out the false, ring in the true" and re-
peated by Longfellow in the lines:
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth He sleep!
The a0rong shall fail,
The right preual,
With peace on earth, goodwill to men"

Our Economic Buoyoncy

Some weeks ago, when there was lot of
funereal talk about an economic recession and
the possibility of a major American depression,
President Eisenhower calmly and confidently
cautioned the Nation against taking the Cas-
sandraS too seriously or succumbing to spirit
of pessimism. And now, having in mind opti-
mstic interpretations of promising business
developments in the past month or so, he has
evened things up by counseling everybody not
to Jump to the conclusion that the outlook has
changed so much for the better that very rosy
future-in terms of jobs, industrial activity etc.
lis absolutely guaranteed.
This is a sensibly balanced view After all,
economic trends-especially when they are still
evolving and cover only relatively short period
of time-rank high among the worlds uncer-
tainties, and simple prudence suggests that they
are not good things on which to base final iudg-
ments that go to extremes of either pessmsm
or optimism. Even so, as the President has said,
the business situation today-in contrast to that
of several weeks ago-iS one in which the fa-
vorable factors outweigh the unfavorable. These
factors, in both an immediate and long-range
sense, are numerous, and two of the most i'm
portant of then1-as has just been emphasized
to the National Press Club in an address by
M J. Rathbone, head of Standard Oil of New
Jersey-are (1l our national chronological prog

rate of about 2.5 million persons year which
is the equivalent, economically speaking of
adding the entire requirements of State the
size of Washington to our domestic market
annually"
1t is because of such buoyant forces as these
that the excessive pessmsm voiced earlier this
year now appears to be quite dscredited. At any
rate, the short-range picture has improved and
there is solid ground for Mr.. Rathbone's view
view shared by other leaders in private enter
prise-that America is squarirg away for a
great future" Like the President, he would
caution against overoptimism, but at the same
time-again like the President-he believes
that there is every reason for strong confidence
in our economic outlook because of the presence
of powerful stimulators like our expanding pop
ulation and expanding technology. Certainly,
barring some severe worldwide dislocation, a
major depression seems improbable in the ex-
treme-enough so to warrant reasonably bright
expectations as to employment and the general
health of business in the months ahead.

Matter for Congress or Court?

There is law which makes it illegal
for Communist to work for the Fed
eral Government in any capacity. And
if evidence exists to indicate that per-
son employed by the Federal Govern
ment is Communist, all one has to
do is present this evidence to Federal
grand jury and it will be weighed and,
if considered valid, an indictment
against the accused will be returned.
The accused. under our Constitution,
then is tried by fair means and an i'm

guilty he can be fined or jailed or both
and this removes a Communist from
circulation. However if the accused is
found innocent he may go forth and

up Mama's outfit for her and noticed
where she had hit rocks and had broken
three sickle sections. So ne had to re-
place them, and it was close to o'clock
before they got out in the field again.
Mama was feeling pretty bad about the
damage she'd done, but Papa assured
her those little things could happen to
anybody.
The afternoon passed without a hitch
$50 we thought and at $50 we could
hear Mama coming in from the field
When she got a little nearer another
of our senses told us she was coming,
and evidently she had been associatIng
with small black and white creature
which is usually given a wide berth.
Poor Mama!
First off she had to have a bath and
that made supper late. Papa is and al
ways has been the most patient of men
about all but one thing, that is-he
wants his meals on time and if they're
not, he is pretty apt to get cross.
Well. supper was pretty late this night
and Mama was trying to hurry. Just
as she picked up the dish of beans, she
dropped it. It broke into million pieces
and naturally the beans and glass were
so intermingled, there was no eating
beans that night.
MAMA BEGAN TO cry again and
said, ''My shoulder and arm are so
lame from yanking on that trip rope,
couldn't even hold the dish," and away
she sailed to the bedroom.
Papa didn't say word. He just swept
up the mess and quietly ate the rest
of his supper. Then with a sort of re-
signed expression on his face, he went
to the phone and called up Jake's Re-
pair Shop some Is miles up the road.
After he had gone to milk, Mama
came out and picked little at some
supper and we were clearing up the
dishes when Papa came back.

ish appears the spectacle which
has inspired the reverent awe Of
man from time immemorial-the
solar corona. In the wink of an
eye it is present in all it's lumi-
nous weirdness. A pearl blue
crown of light surrounds the
black disk of the moons shadow.
1t is like the petals of cosmic
dahlia. 1t is like the halos medi-
eval painters put around the
heads of saints. The intensity
OF the light is about half that of
the full moon. It seems quite
bright around the inner rim and
fades outward to a barely dis
cernible effu1gence.
1t is a million miles from the
surface Of the sun. It extends
10 million miles into space, the
astronomers say. It's temperature
is a million degrees >Centigrade.
The suns atmosphere itself is
only about 5000 degrees.
The corona is probably-again
quoting the astronomers-made
up OF minute particles of cosmic
dust bombarded by the suns ul-
traviolet light. It is more tenuous
than the finest vacuum achiev-
able on earth.
Through the corona from the
moon shadows rim geysers of
red fire rise and fall. They are
flaming hydrogen, spurted to dis
tances of a million miles out of
the suns cyclone-swept atmos-
phere. The atmosphere or the
sun must be very calm today,
the astronomers on board say,
for very few of the red geysers
appear The moons shadow
moves across the suns orange
lake with a succession of larger
and larger crescents until the
rare phenomenon is done.
