Murroy's Fears of u. S, Atom Lag
Point Up Struggle Within ACC

The spot news of the new
testimony of Atomic Energy
Commissioner Murray before
the congressional atomic COM
mittee is striking enough.
Murray has charged that
"our sweeping promises to the
world concerning atomic power
are in danger of going by de-
fault" He has described the
United States as -"of to a slow
start in the race for atomic
power. running with the
field when we ought to be well
out in front" He predicted
we would have only a token
amount Of industrial atomic
power before 1882"
To meet this situation he
proposed 10-year crash pro-
gram which would give this
country commanding lead"
over the Soviet Union With

neutral nations out Of the
Soviet orbit for all time.
Thus the real struggle which
is taking place over atomic
power begins to emerge.

Democrats Can't Blame Republicans
For Policies Initiated by Truman

A campaign year is a bad
time in which to be confronted
with foreign crises. Quadren-
nially the Nation Is divided
and the temptation to exploit
failures for party political
purposes is seldom resisted.
That 1856 is a very great
time of troubles" for the
Western democracies is af-
firmed in ones newspaper
every day. Russian Roadway
among the "uncommitted ma
-tions" of the Far and Middle
East shows no signs of a halt.
But the leadership Of neither
party can blame the other,
since there have been no differ
ences between them on funda-
mental policies.
It has been impossible to
pursue a realistic American
policy in the Middle East, for
reasons that have been set
forth from time to time In
this column.

written for this space, Hanson
Baldwin, military expert of
the New York Times, has pre-
sented. more expertly than /,

Of armed intervention to zen

Arab-Israel conflict. The fore
seeable political repercussions
are even greater. But there Is
little likelihood that this sub

liberation in a campaign year.

Murray and his supporters
see American pre-eminence in
the nuclear field as q God

solutely irrelevant.

here.

One-Woy Street on Civil Liberties

There is, moreover. q Federal
question involved. Labor unions
were given a legal status by
Congress, first in the Wagner
Act and later in the Taft
Hartley law. The right to bar
gain collectively is a privilege
granted specifically by the
Federal Government. Just as
a reckless driver can have his
license suspended or taken
away from him. so the reckless
labor union could be punished
by the withholding Of collec-
tive-bargaining privileges If the
law so stipulated.
Mass picketing is. Of course.
forbidden now by Federal
statute, but there are no penal
ties except orders ito cease and
desist," and these. like court
injunctions or coptemp pit
charges, do not provide any
effective means of preventing
a recurrence Of rioting and
bloodshed. Nor do they give q
worker assurance that he will
not have his car smashed up
II he tries to park 1t at q
factory gate.
Today mob violence and In
tirnidation are condoned. as
leaders Of labor unions fail to
condemn both Also, mass
picketing could not be carried
on without the knowledge. II
not the instigation. of labor
union officials themselves.
Trade unionism has many
worthy detectives. but it's q
blot on the record Of many
such organizations that what
they cannot win by persuasion,
they try to achieve by the
strong arm.
The violence reported from
Alabama recently on the fric-
ton between races is deplor-
able. but the case for observ-
ance of civil rights would be
stronger If there were less
hypocrisy about observing the
other rights granted by the
Constitution.

Once he suggested that II

the hint.
Murray's testimony puts the
President In the position Of

he can deliver in his new an
nouncement that uranium sup

available abroad. The testi-
mony developed that the Pres
ident's message said nothing
about the know how" or TECH
nicians necessary TO use the
uranium profitably. Murray
seems to think we have not
got them to give.
Yet the President with his
statement has clearly accepted
in principle the Murray thesis
that atomic power is q weapon
in the cold war with which
much can and should be done.
It is understood that the Pres
ident has complained that
more was not being done.

he lose his constitutional right
to speak out and to take what

The usual comment made is
that this is a matter of State

that preserving order is up to

Much Of the Juror about

is focused nowadays either on
the segregation problem or on
getting q due process" hear
ing for persons accused Of
Communist connections. To
such cases, q good deal Of
time and energy is being de-
voted by various organizations
which claim to be anxious TO
uphold the Bill of Rights OF
the Constitution.
But. for some curious reason.
the most fragrant disregard Of
civil liberties in America-the
denial to millions of citizens
of the right to work without
being threatened with violence
or otherwise intimidated--re-
ceives scant attention. There
is no indignation voiced by
these same organizations about
the fact that workers are con-
stantly inundated, and that
many of them actually are
barred by physical force from
working at their jobs.
The press dispatches on the
subject are numerous, but too
often are treated as routine
affairs. The United Press on
Tuesday of this week distrib-
uted the following dispatch:

shall zhukov's statement that
Russia has the capability to
hit any country with its guided

Critics In both parties say
that our Governments waver-
ing policies make matters
worse. They point out that we
shut our ears to Egypt's re-
quest for help in building the
Asawan Dam and opened them
only after Russia offered to do
the job. The explanation that
such vast projects require long
and careful study does not
hold water. Why, it is asked,
do we find that a 1-billion
project is in line with our
policies only after the Rus
SLAMS have made their bid? It
creates the impression abroad
that we are playing follow the
leader. The cost In prestige
Is enormous. And worse than
the loss of prestige we also
stand a good chance of losing
allies and friends.
Neutralism is spreading
fast throughout Europe. And
neutralism means only one
thing: The determination of
some Of our allies to accept
the coexistence blind Of the
men in the Kremlin, leaving us
on a limb. The election-year
critics Of Secretary Dulles
