Perhaps the best clue Of all
that the President will run
again, at least in the view Of
some shrewd politicians Of

down on the controversial
Dixon-Yates contract that
has so provoked so many
voters in Tennessee as well as
other parts of the South. The
President carried Tennessee
in the 1852 elections. though
by less than 5000 votes. One
of the brightest spots for him
in the 1852 result was his
sweep into the South that
added three other Southern
States besides Tennessee to his
landslide elsewhere.

Study Seen on Whether Prosecution
OF Perjury in Future viii Be Feasible


grand Jury charged him with
lying and one indictment said
he "wilfully and knowingly"
promoted such causes. The
issue was not whether any
body could promote the COM
munist cause in America on
the public platform or in the
press under the protection of
the right Of free speech and a
free press. It was whether Mr..
baltimore lied when he denied
carrying out that sort Of q
course in his writings and
speeches.
The Senate Internal Secu-
rity subcommittee in Septem-
Der, 1852, unanimously-that
Is. all Democrats and Repub-
licans-made report sub
mitting to the Department Of
Justice five instances Of al
leget perjury charges and
characterized Mr.. baltimore as
a conscious, articulate instru-
ment of the Soviet conspiracy
in the United States"
But the Department of JUS
tice. after being blocked by the
United States Court of Appeals
as to the wording of the in
dictments, finally gave UP last
week the effort to prosecute.
Hence, so far as the Senate
Internal Security subcommit-
tee is concerned, 1t may find
itself compelled to make an
exhaustive review Of the whole
subject. For theoretically. at
least, it could mean that here
after a witness might mislead
the committee and knowingly
carry on campaign of propa-
ganda for an enemy country
and yet not be subject to any
curb whatsoever by the laws Of
the land. Plainly, new legisla-
ton may be needed and that's
what the Senate Internal Sc
curity subcommittee has a
duty to study, and to make
such inquiries as are neces-
sary in pursuit Of that legis-
lative objective.
Recently there has been a
hue and cry that internal
security could readily be left
to the FBI and the Federal
courts and that there was no
need for congressional inves-
legations. The latest develop
ments, however, show the De-
partment Of Justice as throw
ing up Its hands in helpless
ness when confronted with q

DAVID LAWRENCE

So far as the public Is
concerned, the case Of Owen
baltimore, Far Eastern expert
who was indicted by two Fed
eral grand juries on perjury
charges, ended when the De-
partment of Justice the other
day asked a Federal judge TO
dismiss the indictments. This
doesn't mean that. however,
guilt or innocence has been
established. For, due to the
legal battle waged by the de-
fendant against the wording
of the charges themselves, the
case was never tried on its
merits.
The controversy inside
Washington. especially among
lawyers. moreover. hasn't end
ed. The case will certainly be
studied by one Of the congress
sional investigating commit
tees to determine whether in
view Of the 4-to-4 decision Of
the q. s. Circuit Court of APP
peals anyone hereafter can be
successfully prosecuted on per-
jury charges even when they
involve the alleged deliber-
ate dissemination Of propa-
ganda beneficial to an enemy
country.
If the Federal judges ap-
pointed by Messrs. Roosevelt
and Truman, who now have re-
versed the entire trend Of ju-
dicial Interpretation Of the
scope of perjury charges. are
to remain in command, 1t could
happen that even in wartime
no such prosecutions as were
effected in the 1940s against
the promoters of nazism could
ever be successful again.

that they would. If prosecuted,
