food supply to the armed
forces. The cases of dangerous
subversion possible in so-called
"nonsensitive" agencies are
liInitlesS, and that's why the
Presidents executive order
covered all Government en-
ployes.
The six Supreme Court JUS
tices, however, do not seem
to take account of the clear
and present danger" doctrine
which Judge Learned Hand
espoused in his famous de-
ciSion. He wrote:
1.-THE question before us, and
the only one, is how long a
government, having discovered
such a (Communist) con-
spiracy. must wait. When does
the conspiracy become a pres
ent danger? The jury has
found that the conspirators
will strike as soon as success
seems possible, and, obviously,
no one in his senses would
strike sooner"
But the Supreme Court ma
jority evidently argues now
that the Government must
wait till the conspiracy is con-
summated. The Government
cannot take precautions in
advance-at least, the six
justices say that existing law
doesn't permit dismissals be-
cause it doesn't require the
President to spell out in adj
vance in a special memoran-
dunn in every case the exact
risk to national security in
volved in every potential case
Of sabotage in which a known
and proved security risk might
operate.
Plainly. the Supreme Court
majority has set an impossible
task for the Government, and
even the writer's of remedial
legislation will have a hard
time drafting a law that suits
the judicial whim of the six
justices who insist that the
President of the United States
cannot be trusted to render a
judgment as to which en-
ployes may be retained or dis
missed or to set up proper
procedures to ascertain
whether their continuous en-
ployment in a Government job
constitutes a risk to the safety
of the Government.

Presidents Illness Seen Tending to Draw
Democrats to Strongest Candidate
DORIS FLEEsoN

The lengthening shadow of
President Eisenhower's medi-
cal history clouds all political
discussion in Washington.
With the national conventions
little more than two months
distant, neither Democrats nor
Republicans are as confident
of the future as they would
like to appear.
Both sides are wary of pub
lie opinion and how it may de-
velop. Politics is a business of
people and the old hands
know that people can shift
their sights with remarkable
speed as striking events occur.
Republicans did a superb job
of blanketing the Presidents
heart attack with optimism
and good cheer. A few began
to take the same line almost
at once after doctors pro-
nounced successful the intes-
final surgery performed at
Walter Reed Hospital over the
week end.
The G. o. P. propaganda
then and now is directed as
much at the conscientious
President and his family as
at the public. But the new
attempt to smother all mis-
givings is encountering a
sitter reaction in various i'm
portant quarters.
The question is being raised
of whether it is fair to the
President to rush him in this
manner. Sober observers also
insist that the issue of the
Presidents capacity is now a
hard duty that must be faced
on all sides.
Republicans cannot afford
the appearance of sacrificing a
popular President to their ne
cessities. Nor can Democrats
profit from charge that they
are capitalizing in indecent
haste on his illness while he
is still confined to a hospital
bed.
A period of uncertainty is
therefore in prospect. Repub-

making it impossible for one
of that persuasion to be the
Democratic nominee. Adlai
Stevenson's Affiliations with
that wing of the party are
we'll known for all Gov. Harri-
man now hints to the contrary.
Ideologically, what Averell
Harriman'S entrance formally
into the Democratic presiden-
tial contest means is that, with
the crusading fervor he ex-
udes these days, he would hope
to draw a sharp line between
himself and Adlai Stevenson
whom he seeks to push into the
moderate" category nearer to
the center. The practical effect
Of this. the Democratic Party
being made up as it is, would
be to put Gov. Hartman at
the head Of those who would
ignore the Southern wing of
the party and have the Demo-
cratic Party make its bid to
the rest Of the country where
it has, indeed, won its recent
elections before 1852. If the
South wants to walk outlet
it walk. The strategy would be
aimed at the Negro vote in key
urban areas outside the South
to which the Republican Party
now is making overtures, as
we'll as to fire up New Deal
Fair Deal elements by empha-
sis on economic issues.
Averell Harriman's hat in the
ring assures a lively conven-
ton by accentuating the
North-South schism in the
party.
However, it may be too late
for him to make any substan-
tial Roadway with his strategy
in the convention because Of
what has happened.

ing leaders in the New Deal

In Close Touch With Reds
Mr.. Bialer made the state
ments yesterday in a second
appearance before the Senate
Internal Security Subcommittee.
He testified the Polish members
were in "the closest touch" with
the North Korean Communists
and received advice from them.
The testimony was received
with added interest because of
the current controversy in Ko-
rea over a reported buildup in
North Korean arms. Last Sat-
urday the inspection teams were
escorted out of South Korea
after a United Nations command
decision to suspend their work.
This decision. it has been re-
ported from Korea, was made as
a protest against alleged viola
tons Of the Korean armistice BY
the Communists. The inspection
teams consisted of representa-
tives from Switzerland, Sweden.
Poland and Czechoslovakia.

Polish Communists were waging
a repatriation campaign using
personal appeals, letters and
subtle blackmail as weapons. The
subcommittee has received testi-
lmony that the Soviet bloc coun-
tries are carrying on a world
wide drive to get refugees to
return.
Polish Communists, Mr.. Bia-
Ter said. are interested first in
those who left Poland since
World War II. especially intel
lectuals and younger refugees.
The repatriation drive. he added,
is based on political and propa-
Iganda considerations rather than
economic ones.
Mr.. Bialer appeared before the
subcommittee last week and told
how he had become disillnsioned
with communism. He arrived in
this country May A and his tes-
timony before the subcommittee
was the first public disclosure Of
his detection to the West.
