New Report on Old Problem

We doubt that information about the
Defense Department is going to flow any
more freely as a result of the report and
recommendations of the Coolidge Com
mittee on Classified Information, whose
recommendations Secretary Wilson has
taken under study. The result, in fact,
might be quite the opposite. But the
committee recommendations represent a
comprehensive understanding of the
problem and an intelligent effort to find
some workable solution. We think the
committee has performed a difficult mis-
sion most creditably.
The problem is many-sided. It lies
in making available to the public infor-
nation which the public should have
without revealing, at the same time, in
formation which could be of great value
to some potential enemy. 1t lies in pre-
venting the abuses under which "secu-
rity' is used to bottle up legitimate news.
1t lies in selecting criteria for the CLASH
fication Of material that will not be ex-
tended to include any or all disagreeable
facts. No one, since Solomon, is really
equipped to deal with the problem, once
described by DR.. Vannevar Bush, para
phrasing Churchill, as "A riddle wrapped
up in mystery inside of an enigma"
The Coolidge committee, however, in
its generally sound report confirmed as
fact the widely held impression that there
IS too much unnecessary classification,
which means suppression of information.
1t found the procedures for declassifica-
ton cumbersome and slow and without
direction. 1t found that leaks Of infor-
nation by Defense Department personnel
reflect lack Of discipline which should
be corrected by quick and formal investi-
cation Of the source OF such leaks, with
punishment for offenders. And it found
that the whole field of protecting vital
security without bottling up legitimate
news is in need Of thorough going-over
and more intensive supervision.
While most Of the recommendations
seem sensible, we doubt the wisdom, or
the necessity, Of some Of them. And we
think the House committee under Repre-
sentative Moss Of California. which has
been exploring secrecy in Government,
might hnd 1t interesting TO determine
the nature Of certain leaks" which have
so disturbed Defense Department oficials
in the past. For the actual danger TO
security resulting from such leaks has
been greatly exaggerated.

Cause for Thonksqivino

On this Thanksgiving Day we have
special cause to be grateful for our bless
mgS. There may be some cynics, troubled
by worries OF the moment, who think they
have little to be thankful for. But how
can ingratitude withstand the shock of
tragic events unfolding elsewhere in the
world? Against the background of blood
shed and misery in Hungary, for example,
our lesser Ills and diScomfortS are too in
Significant to mention. And what Ills and
discomforts we may have are crowded
out by the overwhelming dement's of a
prosperous land at peace with all the
world.
President Eisenhower, in this years
thanksgiving Day proclamation, spoke
OF the hope which such free country as
ours holds out to "fettered peoples"
abroad. Even as he was signing the proc
lamation 10 days ago the liberty-loving
people of Budapest were being ground
down by the ruthless armed might of the
Russian army. Today, some of the pitt
full survivors of the Soviet invasion of
Hungary are settling themselves in a
temporary haven of refuge in America.
The refugees at Camp Kilmer have lost
their homes and other worldly possess
Sions-and many of them have seen loved
ones moved down by machine guns or
herded, animal-like, into sealed boxcars
for shipment to unknown places of Red
terror. Yet these unfortunate survivors
can give thanks this day that the spirit
Of freedom in Hungary has not been
crushed, that their own lives have been
spared and that America offers to them
and other "fettered peoples" hope for
eventual overthrow Of the forces of
tyranny.
All Of us today have a right to be
proud that We are Americans, that we
have the prestige and the resources to
sustain the persistent hopes of those who
cherish freedom as we do. And we have
reason humbly to give thanks to Divine
Providence for the blessings that have
made us great Nation-respected by
all peoples who share our faith in the
triumph of right over might.

Work of Mercy

1t may be that the strict letter Of our
immigration laws is being stretched a bit
to permit the speedy entry of at least
5000 refugees from the terror in Hun
gary. But if there is actually any such
stretching, if short cuts are being taken
to avoid certain slow and normally man.
datory procedures, then that is quite in
keeping with our country's traditional
spirit of humanitarianism. And in that
sense, certainly, it is the right and the
good thing to do.
After all, as far as HungarianS are
concerned, the situation that prevails
now is one of acute emergency. Many
thousands of men, women and children
have escaped westward from the pitiless
Soviet repression, and great numbers
more are stin expected to do the same

amount to little or nothing; about all
they have, besides the clothing on their
backs, are dark memories of the night
mare they have lived through in their
homeland.
Yet. despite their memories, all these
refugees can look forward TO the future
with a new measure Of hope. For they
are among friends now, and sponsoring
agencies stand ready to offer them jobs
and homes in various parts Of America
Thus, although temporarily uprooted
from their native land, they have the
comfort Of knowing that they can reSettle
here and make a fresh start in life in
this promising haven, where they can
contribute much with their talents and
love OF freedom.
AS Nation, We are exceptionally for
