U. 5. 10 Appeal
Passport Case
BY the Associated Press

The Government today an
nounced it will appeal a decision
by Federal District Court Judge
Luther w. Youngdahl ruling out
the use of secret evidence by the
State Department in acting or
passport applications.
The case involves Leonard B
Boudin, a New York attorney
who went to court to challenge
the State Departments decision
that he was ineligible for further
permits to travel abroad.
Notice of the appeal was given
to Judge Youngdahl by Assistant
United States Attorney Joseph
A. Rafferty,, jr. Mr.. Rafferty,
asked for, and obtained. a stay
of the courts order pending the
outcome OF the appeal.
The judge had directed the
State Department to give Mr.
Boudin a quasijudicial hearing,
with ali the evidence used in
deciding the case to be put on
the public record so Mr.. Boudin
may have the opportunity to
meet it and the court to re-
view it."
Judge Youngdahl's decision,
issued November %. is believed
to be the first by any Federal
court telling the State Depart
ment it must rely solely on EVIL
dence on the record in passing
on a passport application.
The departments practice is
to consider evidence on the rec
ord along with confidential in
formation in its file.
Mr.. Rafferty, told Judge
Youngdahl his decision presents
substantial and important ques-
tons of constitutional law" He
said the decision seriously affects
the doctrine of separation OF
powers, the responsibility for
national security and the public
interest in the issuance or with
holding" of passports.
The Government first will ask
the United States Court of APP
peals to override Judge Young
dahl. II unsuccessful there, il
will carry the case to the SUI
preme Court.

based on an alleged pattern OF

Dulles to conclude Mr.. Boudir

IF the method of electing a Presi-

changed in time for the 1860

ment would have to be approved
by Congress next year and SUBJ

they explain.
Last Test in 1850
The last clear-cut compression

more than five years ago. The
Senate passed the Lodge-GoSsett
amendment proposal in 1850 but
the House defeated it, 1874 to 2l0
In October. 1851, the House Judi
ciary Committee reported out
substantially the same resolution
but it never reached the House
floor.
The test next year might come
on a somewhat different form of
resolution sponsored mainly by
Senator Mundt. Republican of
South Dakota. and Representa-
tive Coudert, Republican of New
York.
This would continue the cleo
Itoral system but have electors
chosen by congressional districts,
as are members of the House. and
two additional electors chosen
Iat-large in each State.
The Lodge-GosSett resolution,
which still has supporters in
Congress, would abolish the Elec-
toral College as such and pro-
vide for direct popular voting to
elect a President and Vice Presi-
dent. 1t would retain an aspect
Iof the electoral system by giving
each presidential and vice presi-
dental candidate the number of
electoral votes in each State in
proportion to the popular vote he
received in that State.
Numerous Hearings Held
There have been numerous
and comprehensive hearings in
recent years on various pro-
posed constitutional amend
lmentS relating to the method of
electing presidents and vice
presidents. Committee officials
doubt that further public hear
ings will be called during the
final session of the present Con-
greSS.
Committee study, it was ex-
'plained, probably will center on
the Mundt-Coudert plan but
could result in the drafting of
still another proposed amend
ment. This conceivably could
include some provisions from
the Lodge-Gossett and the
Mundt-Coudert bills.
Attempts already are being
made to reconcile differences
of opinion on the question of
selecting electors on the basis
of congressional districts which.
because of their vast differences
in size and composition. are
themselves an almost annual
cause of dispute in Congress.

TUBE: This useful word
has described many silhouettes
in the past. This year, it re-
lates to a radical new line
brought out by Balenciaga-
the tube" tonic. This is ex-
actly what it sounds like-a
tubular line from shoulder to
just above the knee, almost
straight up and down except
for a back belt and the barest
suggestion of fit in front. These
tunic dresses go beyond the
long, lean line" characteristic
of this springs styles. They
almost echo the uncompromis-
ing rightly Of the early '40s. A
little hard to wear, but strik-
1ngly smart-the style may
point a direction for fashion
OF the next few seasons.
