Senator Wiley. Republican of
Wisconsin said hundreds OF
thousands of American citizens
are fingerprinted as the most
positive means of identification. y
"There's no criminal connota-
ton connected with having your
fingerprints TAKEN" he said.
"And we've got to think Of the
safety Of our own country from
spies and saboteurS.
Mr.. White disclaimed knowl-
edge as to whether Russia re-
quires fingerprintS on visas for
foreigners visiting that coun-
try, or whether fingerprints are
placed by Soviet citizens on
passports other than seamen's
passports.
What he was trying to do, he
said, was point out the incon-
sistency of accusing the United
States of requiring fingerprints
on the ground that only crimi-
mails are flngerprinted when the
Soviets require their own people
to be fingerprinted, not as crimi-
mails but as Seamen-unleSs all
seamen are considered criminals

verting to his own use a total
of 1895 from the estates of

Democrats Find an Interior Target

from conservationists because
Of his sponsorship when chair
man of the House Interior
Committee of bills to grant
vested rights on grazing lands
in our national forests. Any
organization or persons with
an interest in his nomination
now has been invited by Sem
ator Murray to submit their
views to the committee in adj
vance Of the June 10 hearing.
The Montana Senator has a
private, personal interest in
the D'Ewart matter which is
in the nature of a grievance.
The former House member ran
against Senator Murray in
1854 and the tactics USED in
the campaign to try to unseat
him were deeply resented by
the Senator who termed them
''reprehensible." They included
an eleventh-hour broadside
distribution on doorsteps in
Montana of a pamphlet enti-
tied Senator Murray and the
Red Web Over Congress"
which, though new to Mon
tana, was familiar in other
States where it had been used
in previous campaigns against
Democrats.
Vice President Nixon in
cluded Montana in his extern
sive Western campaign tours,
speaking there in behalf of
Representative D'Ewart. He
used there the stock speech of
his 1854 campaign with its
insinuations that the Demo-
Gratis were soft" on commu-
niSm and Communists, which
he also employed against other
Western Democratic Senators.
Early in the campaign Presi-
dent Eisenhower flew from
Denver to Missoula to speak on
behalf of r representative
D'Ewart who lost by only 1.728
votes. The D'Ewart appoint
ment to the Interior Depart
ment post. which came during
the recess of Congress in mid
October last year, was in the
first batch of commissions
signed by President Eisenhower
during his recuperation from
his heart attack.

Jogging tactics on the part Of
our so-called allies have kept
the Western Europe defense
forces from ever achieving the

The foreign ministers at

to strengthen the military
character of the alliance, and
widen the role 1t will play in
the future of the free world.
But the maneuver was a trans

up to distract attention from
the cold fact that the NATO

Of ever doing so.

more unlikely every day as
the Senate eyes the proposal
askance - what vast sums
would perhaps be used for
NATO's proposed new inter-
ests. Would these monies end
up in schools for information

drives for one-worldism, or
artistic exchanges between,
say, Belgian performers of
American jazz with Soviet per-
