China as "spies" found they
could visit their jailed kin
provided Uncle Sam gave them
a passport. The State Depart
ment had no intention Of issu-
ing the travel permits, how
ever.
For one thing, a visit by the
relatives would permit the
Communists to pose falsely as
humanitafians; also, negotia-
tions over passports and visas
would force this country to
deal automatically with Red
China; and, last and also least.
the United States could not
protect the relatives in China
in case the Reds forgot their

Three of the relatives, how
ever. said they wanted to make

they might be interested. The

Some Congressman were
critical OF the apparent con-
tradiction In policies, but the

to any conflict. The presi-
Dental message to Congress
and Defense Department state
ments merely assumed two
things:
/. The Formosa policy would
succeed and shooting would be
avoided.
2. If fighting did break out,
then Congress could be asked
later for whatever additional
money was needed to mop up
the war.
The Secretaries Of Defense,

Joint Chiefs Of Staff, reported
to the House Armed Services
Committee on military policy

3-Point Agreement
Each witness last week
agreed on these three points:
Defense spending should be
about the same in the coming
fiscal year (starting July u as
in the current year. Total
manpower should be reduced.
Greater reliance on new tech
biological developments will
make for a stronger defense.

Ridgway is not at all sure that
American air and naval power
will be enough to hold Quemoy.
With budgetary plans for
further cuts in the Army,
Gen. Ridgway is reported as
apprehensive that he will not
have the men to deliver on
President Eisenhower's COM
mitments. And. unless Amer
leans are in control. Gen.
Ridgway obviously fears that
American troops might be
sucked into an operation on
the Chinese mainland.
President Else hower's
Thursday message indicated
that Chang would agree to an
American commander on Que
moy. But Gen. Ridgway told
Senator's last week that this
decision had not yet been
taken. There was no word
from Chang.
One Of the factors Gen.
Ridgway was apparently rul-
ing out Of his calculations was
the use Of nuclear weapons.
There reportedly has been no
flnal decision on using them,
but President Eisenhower may
be taking them into his reck-
oning on the chances Of hold
ing the offshore islands.
II Quemoy were lost in spite
OF American air and sea de-
fense. United States prestige
would suffer considerably, of
course. We would be virtually
impelled to try to retake the
island. That would take at
least three American divisions,
and would require at least a
partial mobilization in this
country. These are some of
the problems tormenting Gen.

Bod Trouble Develops
As Democrats Upset
Earlier Unit Action

The administration ran into
its first serious trouble with
the Democratic Congress last
week when the Joint Commit
tee on Atomic Energy voted
along straight party lines to
recommend cancellation Of the
Dixon-Yates contract.
The resolution boiled down
to an expression Of disapproval
OF the controversial power con-
tract and q revocation Of q
special waiver voted by the
committee during the Republi-
can 83d Congress. The waiver
had given the Atomic Energy
Commission permission to ig-
more q 30-day waiting period
ordinarily used by the commit
tee to study such contracts.
All votes on the issue last
week were 10 to 8, with the
Democratic majority having
its way on each test. Demo-
Gratis had claimed during the
fall political campaigns that
the Dixon Yates contract,
Whereby the Acc would buy
power from a private supplier
to be fed into Tennessee VAL
ley Authority lines, was O
"give-away" and an abandon-
ment Of the public power prin-
ciple.
Just where last weeks move
left the contract was any
body's guess Apparently the
Democrats had three things
in mind: Stop execution of
the contract. discourage both
the Dixon-Yates combine and
the administration from
patching UP the deal and warn
the White House that future
attempts to buck the Demo-
Gratis on "giye-aways" would
be futile.
The actual result seemed to
be somewhat less sweeping.
Probably all the committee ac-
ton did was to insure that
the whole contract would be

positions on various rocky is
lands.
Artillery bombardments from
Yikiangshan and the main
land will make supply opera
tions difficult. no doubt. They,
also would be o threat to the
United States Tth Fleets
evacuation.
Here may well develop the
first test Of Gen. Eisenhower's
decision not to allow any
privileged sanctuaries on the
Chinese mainland. The logical
military answer to artillery
bombardment in the Tachens
would be bombing Of the guns
emplacements on the Chinese
mainland.
Another test would come In
the air. The 7th Fleet can be
expected to bid for air SUI
premacy over the Tachens
while the evacuation is under
way.
II the Red Chinese use their
submarines and patrol boats
off the Tachens, the United
States retort might logically
be to bomb their pens and
harbors.
These are the considerations
which have prompted the
President. members of Con-
gress and top military advisers
to emphasize the real risk of
war that the actions around
Formosa imply.
Top Pentagon planners are
much more worried over. these
immediate problems than they
are over the Reds promised
push on Formosa. This. they

ing has neither the. shipping

The Presidents foreign

the amount Of goods flowing

thereby would raise the level
Of prosperity in all trading
countries-or so ran argu-
ments during the first seven
days Of hearings before the

Starting Wednesday. how
ever. another point Of view was

Communists :
Confused LesoI Stotus
All the More in Doubt
After Liehffoot Trial

The legal status Of the
American Communist Is, at
best. puzzling. Three major
laws, each with many provi-
sions, are used to control Com
munist subversicn, yet no one
can say with certainty Just
where Communist stands in
the sight of the law.
Last week the confusion was
: increased by the conviction
Of Claude Lightfoot. secretary
of the Illinois Communist
Party. A Chicago Jury found
him guilty Of being a member
Of the Communist Party while
knowing 1t was a subversiye or
ganization.
His conviction raised the
question: Assuming that any
one who Is now q Communist
must know the subyersive ma
ture Of the party, is simple
membership in the Communist
Party q crime?
Other Communists have been
convicted and Jailed for con-
spring to advocate overthrow
of the Government. The Jus
tice Department. however, has
always opposed moves to ''out-
law" the party, claiming that
such action would only drive
members underground" and
make surveillance more diff
ficult.
But does the Lightfoot con-
yiction mean membership is
Illegal and therefore the party
is outlawed? No one will have
the answer until the Supreme
Court rules on a good many
questions surrounding the legal
status OF Communists. Mean
while, however, here are the
major anti-Red laws and their
applications.
Smith Act
/. Membership In the party
by q person knowing 1t to be
a subyersive group is illegal.
This is the provision which
caught Lightfoot. A series of
appeals courts. including the
Supreme Court, still must re-
view the conviction.
2. Conspiracy to advocate
overthrow of the Government
is Illegal. Eighty-one Com
munist leaders have been con-
victed under this provision, and
the Supreme Court has up
held test cases.
8. To advocate overthrow of
the Government is illegal. No
one has ever been tried under
this clause.
