Mr.. Eisenhower also has in

ball" He replied: Senator
Capehart is doing his best to
make them So"
Senator Capehart quoted from
Mr.. Galbraith's 1949 pamphlet
in a debate with another bank
ing committee member, Senator
Monroney, Democrat, of Okla
homa.
The Indiana Senator said Mr..
Galbraith's pamphlet expressed
the view that communism's ac-
complishments "have been con-
siderable and they may help to
explain why some millions of
alert and intelligent Europeans
have embraced this faith"
Senator Monroney said he
didn't take Mr.. Galbraith's s
pamphlet to mean the economist
was in favor of communism. He
recalled, too, that Mr.. Galbraith
was a witness before Congress
Joint Committee on the Eco
nomic Report last year when the
Republicans were in power.
Certainly that ought to be a
good recommendation for his tes-
tifying," Senator Monroney said.
Defends His Record.
Mr.. Galbraith himself said he
has a long record of unquestioned
opposition to communism.
He said Senator Capehart had
read out of context portions of
the pamphlet in which he dis
cussed communism's appeal to
the masses in Europe. Those
which follow, which the Senator
did not read, tell of the resulting
danger" Mr.. Galbraith said.
He added that the pamphlet,
a discussion of post-Marshall
Plan program written for the
National Planning Association,
was supported in general" in
a statement issued at the time
by Milton S. Eisenhower, the
Presidents brother, and Allen
w. Dulles, head of the Central

In Segregated Cell

SAN FRANCISCO, R-Robert
Stroud, Alcatraz convict, this year
will be alone with his Christmas
in segregation cell for the 39th
time in his IS years Of life.
Stroud has been confined in a
segregation building since Presi-
dent Wilson in 1916 committed his
death sentence in the Staying Of a
LeavenWorth federal prison Of
ficer.
Stroud originally was sentenced
to life term in 1909, when he
was 10, for a murder in an Alaska
bar. n He claimed then that he
fought Charles Damer, the Alaska
Staying victim, because Damer
was abusing a night club girl.
Paul J. Madigan, Alcatraz war
den, said Stroud has been confined
in segregation since 1916 by De-
partment of Justice order. In seq
regation, a convict is confined
alone, but is allowed reading,
writing materials and regular
prison meals. Solitary confine-
ment restricts diet and denies all
communication and correspon-
dence.
Madigan said Stroud was trans
ferred from Mcneil Island, Wash,
after an assault on a prisoner
there. He came to Alcatraz from
Leavenworth Dec. 19, 1912.

This is not to say that all pro-

Going about armed with a con-
cealed weapon is privilege which
the community properly reserves
for those possessed of good rea-

to show reason for being granted
the privilege of going armed with

interpreted as an infringement up
on the right to keep and bear arms.
Undoubtedly there is an in

poses. This right is not cast in

furtherance of the health, safety,

Both laws have been supported

there seems to be little doubt that

The Right To Bear Arms

During the relatively few years
perhaps 30, in which firearms con-
troll legislation has been prominent
on the public scene. we have
heard and read much about con-
stitutional guarantees of personal
liberties. There has been so much
conflicting expert" opinion, SO
many interpretations of constitu-
tional law, that it is hardly sur
prising that widespread confusion
exists in the minds of sincerely
interested persons.
Do we, as law-abiding citizens
of the United States. possess an
inalienable right to bear arms
comparable to our right of assem-
bly,, of freedom of speech. and of
freedom of worship? If so, how far
can restrictive gun legislation go
before that right is infringed or
disappears altogether?
The Second Amendment to the
United States Constitution says:
"A well regulated Militia, being
necessary to the security of a
free state. the right of the people
to keep and bear arms, shall not
be infringed."
Many have attempted varied in
terpretations OF these words. We
prefer to believe that the simple,
straightforward language means
exactly what it says. We are con-
strained to remember, however,
that this is the United States Con-
stitution and as such pertains to
the powers of the Federal Govern
ment. These words of the founding
Milford chronicle., 1955-07-08

right can be infringed by unrea-
sonable controls no. related to the
public safety or pablic welfare.
and by the willful or arbitrary
exercise of authority by appointed
or elected officials
These thoughts should be borne
in mind as we continue our never
ending vigil against unwise and
unduly restrictive gun legislation.
Our arguments must be tempered
with judgement if they are to pre-
vail.
Finally, the right to keep and
bear arms imposes an obligation
to use them, when needed, in de-
fense of the nation. 1t was this
obligation in particular that fos-
tered the enactment of the Second
Amendment at the first assembly
of the Federal Congress 166 years
ago. 1t is an obligation that has
Milford chronicle., 1955-07-08

been a primary object of the Ma
tional Rifle Association of America
from 1871 onward. For we, more
than any organization in the United
States. know that the right to keep
and to bear arms by loyal ciu-
zenry trained and proficient in
their use is necessary 10 the Sc
curity of our free state.
