| DAYTON, Ohio, Sept. Is. -
The fifth amendment got a
heavy workout here yesterday.
Seven witnesses-including q
former Observation-Disclosures
the Constitutional guarantee
against Standardization when
they were confronted with key
questions before a Congressional
subcommittee investigating Com
munist subversion.
The former Congressman was
Hugh Delacy, A, who served one
two-year term from the State OF
Washington as a Democrat in
1945-46. Now a Cleveland resi-
dent. Mr.. Delacy time and again
claimed the privilege of nom
self determination when a three
member subcommittee of the
House Un-American Activities
Committee asked him to say if
he were a Communist, before,
during and after his term in
Congress.
3 Witnesses Testify.
Committee counsel read to Mr..
Delacy testimony from three
witnesses at a Seattle hearing
in June who identified MIR. De-
lacy as a Communist. The wit
nesses were Mrs. Barbara Hartle,
Mrs. Elizabeth Boggs Cohen and
Howard Costigan.
Mr.. Delacy, a Seattle native,
said he knew them all, but he
refused to say If their accusa-
tons were true.
The former Representative
clashed frequently with the COM
mittee. The first time was when
Mr.. Delacy first refused to an
swer a question, giving as an ini-
tial reason:
II also decline to answer be-
cause this committee has a rec
ord OF being inclined to enter
into labor disputes, just like you
are trying to enter the situation
in Detroit" (the three-month-
old Square D strike).
Clardy Blasts ''Insult."
Representative Kit Clardy, Re-
publican, of Michigan, a commit
tee member, shot back:
THAT is a gratuitous insult,
deliberately delivered"
Mr.. Delacy apparently had ref
erence to Mr.. Clardy's statement
OF Monday that two persons
identified as Communists in the
Dayton hearings are active in the
Square D strike. Mr.. Clardy said

in the world. He would be ex-
pected to submit to Congress
as soon thereafter as practi-
cable a resolution to ratify his
acGion and authorize further
military measures.
Would an attack on any Of
the many countries in the
North Atlantic Treaty Organ
ization permit the President
without consulting Congress to
retaliate instantly? The NATO
treaty obligates the United
States to enter the war in
stantly to defend any NATO
country that Is attacked. No
previous authorization by Con-
gress is needed If 1t be accept
ed as sound constitutional doc
trine that q treaty supersedes
the Constitution as the SUI
preme law of the land. The
recent debate over the Bricker
amendment showed that most
Senators apparently feel that
the two-thirds vote which rati-
fles a treaty and authorizes
American military action makes
it unnecessary to ask the con-
sent Of both houses Of Congress
for a declaration Of war.
What then did President Ell
senhower mean when he told
his press conference recently
that America wasn't going to
become involved in the Indo-
China war and that, If we did,
he would first ask authorize
ton from Congress? The an
swer is that do-China is not
covered by any mutual-defense
treaty to which the United
States is a party and that the
situation is not even like Ko-
rea. This means that, If Mr..
Eisenhower had been President
in June, 1850. he might have
ordered American troops into
action as an implied obligation
of the United Nations Charter
but at the same time he would
have asked for a formal reso-
luton Of ratification by Con-
gress Immediately afterward.
All this boils down to the
confident belief that a "hot
war" is not on the horizon and
may not be for a long time to
come. provided the United
States maintains its armament
program and its present policy
of non-appeasement and reso-
luteness.

from which Justice Burton

After the Supreme Court de-

East Ohio. However. when ex-

challenged, however, by Sem
ator Bricker of Ohio, chair
man of the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee, who had
charge of the measure. He in
sisted it would exempt only
interstate distributors. To this
Senator Burke, his Ohio col
league, replied:
II say that an interstate
pipeline company, in transmit
ting natural gas. could form
wholly owned subsidiary with
in a State, and that this meas
ure. if enacted, would be an
invitation to such a company
to do so; and the wholly owned
subsidiary within the State
would no longer be subject to
the jurisdiction of the Federal
Power Commission"
Senator Burke's vigorous
participation in the fight
against the bill was signifi-
cant. as well as interesting. be-
cause the whole story goes
back several years to Cleve-
land and to the East Ohio
Gas Co., which serves Cleve-

OF the late Senator Taft.
In 1888. just after passage

Senator and now a Supreme
Court justice, petitioned the
FPC for an investigation of
the cost of transmitting nat
