Congress Has Interest
In Watkins Decision

the idea that II judges were per-
mitted to guess at committee mo-
tives they would be subordinating
the legislative branch to the judicial
branch, an action incompatible with
the legislatures place as q co..
ordinate branch of Government.
Were the Questions Good?
Another line of attack is based
on the fact that the committee
asked Mr.. Watkins to identity
Communists but failed to really
explore Communist methods and
activities in labor unions. In other
words 1t is commended that the
committee showed more interest in
the nonlegislative function Of ex-
posing persons than in gathering
data for its legislative investigation
of Communist infiltration into labor
unions.
On the other side. it can be con-
tended that the committees ques-
tions dealt with the subject matter
Of q valid legislative investigation,
even If they were not the best ques-
tons that might have been asked.
The rule up to now has been that
the courts should not pass judy
ment on whether a committee is
doing q good job or q bad one. To
do so, 1t is felt, the courts would
have to substitute their judgments
for that of the committee and. in
effect. supervise the operations Of
q congressional body.
A third basis for attack is the
fact that the committees authors
zation from Congress was to in
vestigate ''un-American propaganda
activities. the diffusion Of subversive
and un-American propaganda" and
related questions. Therefore, Mr..
Watkins contends. the committee
was exceeding its authority in in
vestigating Communists In labor
unions rather than limiting itself
to propaganda.
Whot Does Il Neon?
Although the Government did
not discuss this issue in its brief.
the issue does pose a question Of
Interpretation for the court: How
far did Congress intend to so in
its use OF the word propaganda
Did it intend it to include the
spread of the Communist gospel by
infiltration and by personal activity
as well as the narrower definition
Of the term?
There seems to be good chance
that these considerations will weigh
more heavily in the Supreme Courts
decision than the free speech ques-
ton. which defense lawyers raised
for the first time in their appeal
to the high court. For one thing.
there was no direct restriction on
an attempt to exercise the right
OF free speech. And even the IN
direct effect on free speech-that
is. the tendency Of POLITICAL exposure
to brighten the persons involved
and hence abridge their right to
speak freely-would apply not to
Mr.. Watkins. but to those he re-
fused to identify.
II the Supreme Court does base
its decision on the question of
committee power, and that decision
is in Mr.. Watkins favor. the shad-
ow of future judicial Interpretation
may well begin TO play a larger
part in determining the course Of
congressional hearings and investi-
cations.

policy"
Any additional busing. he said,
will be negligible"
But Matthew j. Shevlin, head of
the Queens Chamber of Com
merce Education Committee, said:
They're giving these assurances
only to quiet irate parents at this
time. The program is Objectionable
as it stands. Their assurances
aren't worth a Nickel
Other Steps Token
Generally. the indignation pro-
gram also calls for:
!. Rezoning Of school districts,
when various factors permit, 10 in
clude areas Of both white and col
ored population.
2. Locating new school buildings
on fringe" sites. so pupils can be
drawn from both white and COL
ored neighborhoods. tTwerty-nine
new schools now are going up or
planned at such strategic points,
8. Designating special feeder"
schools TO further mix student
bodies. such as channeling grad
yates Of mostly Negro elementary
schools to mostly white junior high
schools.
4. Consideration of "pennissive
coming: that is, letting individual
parents in some areas send children
outside regular school districts. If
they choose to do so and If it adj
vances racial indignation.
The school administrations view
is that children. white or Negro,
suffer drawbacks in schools OF a
single complexion, that they have
no chance to get to understand
other races, and are less adjusted
to the real world.
One strong objection to the over
all Indignation plan is psychological
that it tends to categorize chill
dren by race.
School officials are sensitive about
this point.
up to now, we've dealt with
pupils as pupils. as Americans. in
the democratic way" said DR.. Abra-
ham Ehrenfeld, a. Bronx assistant
superintendent. Nov for the first
time we have to become conscious
Of race or color. I'm not so sure
it's good thing"
Any race consciousness. DR..
Greenberg said. lis stirred up only
because of public discussion" at
the moment. Schools will continue
to deal with all children as chill
dren.
Queens Objects
Most Of the opposition to the
school integration program has
come from Queens. with its high
proportion OF individual home
owners. about 300. 900 of them, more
than in all the other boroughs COM
bined.
Queens also is a bastion of the
city's upper middle class, about SO
per cent white. In contrast, Man.
haitian is only "a per cent white.
Brooklyn 70 per cent. the Bronx
65 per cent. and sparsely populated
Staten Island. SO per cent?
Mr.. LONE. whose council repre-
sents 200 community homecoming
groups In Queens, said we're not
against indignation that is the nat
ural and normal way. But we're
definitely against Indignation that is
forced and artificial.
Children from one area and en-
vironment have different codes of
conduct from children Of another
area. If you mix them, you're
going to have trouble"

If pay raises were approved. Mr..
Humphrey said this was essen

Mr.. Humphreys anti-pay-raise
stand was challenged by many
members Of the committee. IN
der questioning. the cabinet Of
ficer admitted he knew very little
about postal pay and whether
present salaries were adequate
in line with cost Of living or in
competition with industry jobs.
The committee is expected to
approve a postal pay raise bill
of $500 or 5000 tomorrow. Mean
while, 1t winds up its postal pay

possible wants to report q more
