CANBERRA, Australia, July
20 (P~Foreign Minister Rich
ard G. Casey today described as
a gratuitous insult a Labor
Party deputy's assault in United
States Ambassador William Sc
bald for urging Australia not to
recognize Red China.
Mr.. Casey was commenting
on a telegram which Leslie
Hayden sent Mr.. Sebald protest.
ing against a speech which he
said "reSembled a lecture on
what the United States expected
Australia to do in its relations
with Asia"
IF Hayden speaks officially
for the Labor Party" Mr.. Casey
said, "he has every right to
state his party's policy toward
Communist China and toward
the United States.
But it is deplorable that an
opposition spokesman Gin
Parliament should indulge in a
personal attack on the ambas-
sador, who acted with complete
propriety in explaining the

Many of my idealistic friend:

continues.

We need that bomber base for

Gems. Alfred Gruenther and
Lauris Norstad, former and
present supreme NATO COM
manders in Europe, have stated
in strongest terms their oppo-
Sltlon to any major revision
or denunciation of SOFA.
Gruenther Statement
Expressing the fear that any
upSeting of SOFA would so
undermine the spirit of NATO
"as to cause its serious deterio-
ration with the gravest conse-
quences to the essential Sc
curity OF the United States. +"
Gen. Gruenther pointed out:
Our troops are not in war
time occupied countries. They
are on the territory of SOW
ereign friends -"
Gen. Norstad asserted that
under the Status of Forces
Agreement. our NATO allies
have relinquished a part of
their sovereignty" He added:
They have done this willingly.
You cannot demand that a
give up sovereignty"
Opponents of SOFA in it's
present form, like Representa-
tive Bow, Republican of Ohio,
take the opposite view. They
say that our allies did not re-
quest the treaty and that be-
fore it went into effect Ameri-
can military authorities had
exclusive jurisdiction over
servicemen in many
Of the countries.
Mr.. Bow, author of a bill and
a House resolution seeking ma
jor changes in SOFA, asserts
that international law" as
expressed in an 1912 Supreme
Court decision and by experts
in the field, holds that a send
ing state maintains jurisdic-
ton over its personnel while in
a host country with the latter's
consent.
These are among the princi-
pal arguments buttresSing the

wise or ditch SOFA.

"give-away" Of its sovereignty
and of the constitutional rights
of its servicemen to a fair and
impartial trial by agreeing
that the host country could
bring American military per-
sonnet to the bar after they
had been charged with certain
crimes.
President Eisenhower, Secre-
tary of State Dulles, Defense
Secretary Wilson and other ad-
ministration leaders have in
sisted repeatedly that a sover-
eign country has the exclusive
jurisdiction to punish offenses
against its laws committed
within its borders unless it
eo"ees to surrender such juris-
diction.

The Importance of SOFA to
Americas security, in the opin-
ion of those officials responsible
for its negotiation, can hardly
be overStated. This is, of course,
predicated on the conviction

The SOFA is a multilateral

active on the outside, too, in another
field. This was the field of civil liberties.
He was doughty fighter against the kind
of conformity that would repress any per-
sons right to think freely and speak
freely. At times, as when he urged that
Communist Earl Browder be released
from prison in World War II, he was
harshly attacked in quarters where the
solid nature of his Americanism was
never properly understood. But the CEN
sure of the misinformed did not intimi-
date him. On the contrary, he relished
standing up for whatever he deemed to
be good cause involving the defense of
human liberty. In that respect, wholly
apart from his impressive legal contri-
button as an expert on such matters as
equity and trademarks, he rendered fine
service to the Nation.

Fund Raising Revolution

The over-the-top success of Wash
ington'S first test of united giving pre-
sageS bright new era for one-package
fund raising in the Metropolitan Area.
The initial United Givers Fund campaign
stands out as the biggest civic enterprise
in the charitywelfare field ever under
taken here. Never before has so much
money been raised for SO many worthy
causes at so little relative cost. 1t is evil
dent from the remarkable results an
nounced last night that united campaign
ing is here to stay.
A few figures cited at the victory
meeting give emphasis to the achieve
ment. In surprising the $6.6-million goal,
the UGF collected $500, 900 more than the
total obtained by the cooperating agen-
cies in the last independent drives. It
collected about 81 million more than the
area Community Chests and the Red
Cross were able to get in their final year
of separate campaigning. A combined
army of $4,000 volunteers enrolled 470 900
givers during the 1856 drive-the largest
number of contributors ever signed up in
one local campaign.
The advantages of united giving, in
sofar as the public is concerned, will
become pleasantly obvious next month,
when the American Red Cross launches
Nationwide drive for sos million in relief
funds But-as in other cities where
united campaigning is the rule-there will
be no Red Cross solicitation in the Wash
ington Metropolitan Area. The Red Cross
already has obtained its local quota, via
the UGF Furthermore, neither the Boy
Scouts nor the Salvation Army has con-
Quoted the usual supplemental appeals
since the establishment of the UGF.
We hope that the fine record of the
UGF in it's pioneer. local effort will serve
to attract additional agencies to the fund.
There are still number of major health
groups which have failed to join the UGF
team. But the residents and businessmen
Of Washington and its suburbs have made
1t plain that they want complete relief
from multiple appeals for money. The
independent agencies cannot afford to
ignore the overwhelming sentiment of the
community in behalf of united giving for
all
