Hens Canyon:
A Reversal

The Senate last week reversed
action 1t took q year ago and voted.
As to SO. for q high Federal dam
for the great chasm called HellS
Canyon on the Snake River In
Idaho. It was q major victory for
Democratic public power supporters.
who have fought for the giant dam
for decade.
The measure now is up to the
House, where support is reported
to be growing in favor Of q public
power operation in Hells Canyon
rather than that Of the Idaho
Power Co.. which had planned
three smaller dams for the river.
The victory in the Senate fol-
lowed vigorous attacks by liberal
and conservative Senators OF both
parties against q fast tax write-off
granted Idaho Power by the Once
Of Defense Mobilization.
But the fight is not over. It has
been predicted that President Eli
senhower will veto the bill. and
there is considerable doubt that
the two-thirds vote required to
override o veto could be mustered
in either house.
Some Republicans charged that
q trade" was engineered between
Southern Senator'S and Western
Senators, with the Southerners
voting for Hells. Canyon In ex-
change for Western votes against
the move, subsequently successful.
to bypass the Judiciary Committee
and place the se-approved civil

Southern Senators had reversed
their position Of last year and

Carolina, Long Of Louisiana. Russell

Seven Western Democrats had
voted with the Southerners Thurs
day on the question Of taking the
civil rights bill around the Judiciary

Hearing Procedure

One Of the more notable COM
mission recommendations In the
area Of Federal employee security is
q provision for granting hearings
to applicants for Federal jobs who
are turned down for security rea-
sons.
In cases where disloyaity charges
against q Federal employee have
reached the hearing stage. the COM
mission recommended that the ac-
cused be permitted to be confronted
by the witnesses against him
whenever it may be done without
harm to national security"
Although the investigative agency
may arbitrarily decide what con-
stitutes national security" In such
cases, the commissions recommen-
dalton goes far beyond that urged
in similar report by the New York
Bar Association which was spon-
sored by the Fund for the Republic.
The commission also would
distinguish loyalty from security.
considering in Q separate category
the man who merely talks too much
and the employe who is suspected
Of outright disloyalty..
While these recommendation
win be welcomed by those who have
become alarmed by past security
program abuses. other suggestions
win hardly be comforting to them.
For instance, the commission
would include persons outside the
Government among those who may
be prosecuted for "willful disclosure
to unauthorized persons" Of classi-
lied data. The data would be clas-
sified by the head Of . Government
department from whose decision
no appeal may be made. This, 1t
appears. would permit an oficial
to cover up mistakes or wrongdoine
or avoid embarrassment merely by
stamping an innocucus document
secret" ANY reporter who then
reveals the contents Of the docu-
ment might be sent to jail.

The Road Travelled

Here IL the path disarmament
efforts have Travelled since World
War II:
The ussR, which had not yet
discovered the secrets Of atomic
ilssion In 1916, turned Q cold
shoulder to the Baruch plan be-
cause 1t would have restricted Rus
sian development Of nuclear weap-
ons. Unfettered by agreements, the
Russians exploded their first atomic
device in 1919 and the United
States entered upon crash pro-
gram for development Of the H
bomb.
The Korean War hardly pro-
vided the climate for disarmament
talks. and 1t was not until 1852
that the u. N. General Assembly
adopted q resolution establishing q
Disarmament Commission combin-
ing the Atomic Energy and Con-
ventional Armaments Commissions.
To facilitate disarmament talks.
the General Assembly in 1853 au-
thorized the five atomic powers

And 1t was at this point that the

Kishis Visit:
The Results

While q large group of shouting
students gathered in front Of the
United States Embassy in Tokyo
last Friday. Japanese Prime Min.
lister Nobosuke Kishi was concluding
q three-day visit in Washington
which promised to bring about an
end to some Of the conditions the
students were protesting.
The students were demanding an
end to nuclear weapons tests and
American occupation of Okinawa
and a Japanese trial for Army Spe-
cialist SIC william Girard.
Within hours of the Tokyo DEM
onstration; MIR. Kishi announced in
q joint statement with President
Eisenhower that:

Of all American ground troops.

3. Japanese pleas for ban on nu.
clear weapons tests and manufac.
ture will be taken into account in
formulating the United States DO
sition" at disarmament talks in
London.
Prime Minister Kishi avoided dis
cussion of the Girard case. Before
coming to the United States he
said he did not want to inject an
emotional issue into talks on i'm
portant political and economic
problems.
Japan's present economic pre-
dicament was underlined by Mr..
Kishi in his request for foreign ex-
change assistance in various forms
totalling about $500 million. In
response, the United States agreed
to study the proposals.

REVIEW OF THE WEEK
The 11-Year Search

on June IA. 1946-l0 months
after atomic bombs devastated
Nagasaki and Hiroshima - the
United States began to urge con-
troll Of nuclear weapons. The first
proposal, outlined BY Bernard
Baruch in q commencement address
at Hunter College, sought United
Nations ownership and ,control Of
atomic energy.
The ll-year voyage from Hunter
College to London where the United
Nations Disarmament Subcommit-
tee Is now meeting has been q
stormy one full Of disappointments
and setbacks. rs
Only In the last two weeks has q
world threatened with atomic ex-
tinction had reason TO-. hope that
East and West could and would
agree to workable controls on nu-
clear weapons.
United States Delegate Harold E.
Stassen again this week win meet
with Russian, French. English and
Canadian representatives.
Both the United States and Russia
are on record as accepting In prin-
ciple ban on further development
and testing Of nuclear weapons.
Each side has said 1t would make
important concessions.
But any optimism as the crucial
week begins must be tempered by
three developments late last week.
They were:
o Announcement BY the United
Nations Command in Korea that
it would no longer be bound by the
1853 armistice and in view Of North
Korean violations would embark on
an arms buildup to match Conn
munist military strength.
. United States leadership In
calling for the free world to seek
"all practical redress" Of Russian
wrong-doing documented In q
scathing $50 .00O-word q. N. report
on suppression Of the Hungarian
revolt last fall.
. The reported delivery Of three
submarines to Egypt by Russia. .
deal which the United States has
called q violation Of q U. N. resolu-
ton hating Increment Of men or
arms into the Suez area.
There have been indications.
however. that the disarmament
talks have reached q point where
neither side win seize upon outside
events to draw back what already
has been placed on the bargaining
table.

inspection before disarmament
could be used for military purposes.
Prospects frightened, however,
in 1856 when the United States
and Russia altered their earlier
stands. The USSR suggested serial
Inspection for q limited zone on
both sides Of the Iron Curtain and
the United States softened its de-
mands for aerial inspection as Q
prior requirement to nuclear weap-
ons control.
The current series Of meetings be-
gan In March. Russia soon In
dicated she might be willing to give
ground. In the weeks that fol-
lowed. aerial inspection was de-
bated and both powers made pro-
posals.
On April 80, Russian Delegate
Valerian A. Zorin suggested as
areas to be opened to aerial inspec-
ton Eastern Europe, Eastern 81.
IBERIA. and q strip Of Western Rus
STA. The West. in turn, would be
asked to permit inspection Of
Alaska. Western United States and
much Of Western Europe. The
United States replied with Z pro-
posal for inspection Of territory
within the Arctic Circle.
The disarmament talks picked
up momentum on June IL when
Russia announced that Q ban on
nuclear weapon tests would be
acceptable II it we're accompanied
by ground inspection.
In his press conference Wednes-
day. the President gave new impe-
tus to disarmament hopes when
he said he would be perfectly de-
lighted" to agree to q ban on
nuclear bomb tests. under certain
conditions. Although he did not
define the conditions, it was felt
he was referring to an accompany
ing proposal to stop production
and cut stockpiles.
AS this week begins, the two key
nations in the disarmament talks
had taken these positions:

straits to the Eastern Mediter-
ranean.
It was suggested that the Russian
ships were sent from home waters
in the Black Sea TO keep Q watch on
the United States 9Th Fleet. whose
ships and carrier-bas planes are
equipped with atomic weapons. Il
is quite probable. too. that the
Russian feet was dispatched to
the Middle East to bolster USSR
prestige In that area.

NATIONAL SCENE

In recent years. the United States
Supreme Court has been accused
By civil libertarians Of reaching de-
cisions that seriously weakened the
guarantees Of the Bill Of Rights.
Many agreed with one observer who
wrote in 1852 that the court In 10
years had done more violence to the
Bill Of Rights than it had suffered
In 100 years previously.
If this was q correct opinion, the
high court has changed its direc-
ton. The degree of this change was
most obvious in four decisions
handed down last Monday. In sum.
the decisions told all three branches
of the Federal Government, and the
State governments as well, that the
Constitutions projections Of indi-
.yidual freedoms, which became ef.
fectiye In 1871, are as sacrosanc
today as they ever were. And the
made 1t clear that Q new. liberal
bloc controls the court. (See story
by Daniel Berman on Page A-25)
The decisions held:
. That Il second-team Commu-
nists IN California were unlawfully
convicted Of violating the Smith
Act. The Supreme Court freed I'VE
OF them and ordered new trials for
the other nine.
. That labor organizer John T.
Watkins was not guilty Of contempt
of Congress when he refused to
name persons with whom he asso-
ciated during q period Of cooper
alton with the Communist Party.
. That Former Secretary Of State
Dean Acheson exceeded his author
ity when he fired career diplomat
John Stewart Service in 1851 as q
result Of q Loyalty Review Board
finding. The justices did not rule
on the loyalty issue itself. but on
the procedure the Secretary used
In dismissing Mr.. Service.
Q That Socialist editor Paul M.
Sweezy was denied due process Of
law when the New Hampshire At
torney General held him In con-
tempt for refusing to answer ques-
tons about his political activities
and classroom lectures at the Uni
versity Of New Hampshire.

THE SMITH ACT CASE

The 6-1 decision in the cases of
the "a California Communists was
based. in part. on the fact that the
statute Of limitations had run.
The indictment had been brought
under q section Of the act that for
bids the. organizing Of q group that
advocates violent overthrow Of the
Government. The court, giving the
word organize" q liberal interpre-
tation. held that the Communist
Party as it exists today was organ
lied no later than 1915. The fndict-
ment was made In 1851, three years
after the three-year statute Of lin
itation had run.
Last year the Communist Party
Of the United States. following the
line laid down at the 20th party
congress in Moscow, struck Q pose

THE WATKINS CASE

The ruling in the Watkins case
may require broad changes In the
procedure Of congressional investi-
eating committees. The decision,
delivered by Chief Justice Warren,
scolded Congress in general and the
House Un- American Activities
Committee in particular in this
manner:
-. There Is no general authoity 10
expose the private offoiFs Of individuals
without Justification in terms Of the fune-
tons Of Congress. Nor Is the Congress Q
low enforcement or trial agency. No
inquiry Is an end in itself; Il must be
Feloted to and in furtherones Of Iesiti-
mote tosk Of Government. Investigations
conducted solely for the personal o.
sTondizemsnt Of the Investigators or to
punish those Investigated ore indie
fensible."
Thus the Watkins ruling said in
effect that q committee cannot
force its witnesses unless 1t has a
particular legislative purpose. The
Chief Justice said that such q COM
mittee must have from the Senate
or the House "a clear determination
that a particular inquiry Is justified
by q specific legislative need"

THE SERVICE CASE

For Mr.. Service, long q target
Of the late Senator Joseph r. Nc
Carthy, the ruling meant either that
he must be reinstated in his State
Department job. or granted declara-
tory judgment that since the dis
charge was illegal, he had never
been dismissed in the first place.
The court on Monday ruled that
Mr.. Acheson had violated depart
ment regulations which guaranteed
Mr.. Services rights by overriding
his departments own board and his
Deputy Undersecretary, who had
found in Mr.. Services favor. (6ee
story by Isabelle Shelton on this
page.)
THE SWEEZY CASE
The decision n the case Of Prof.
SweeZy reminded governmental
authority that academic freedom
and freedom Of political expression
were areas in which government
should be extremely reticent to
tread"
Chief Justice Warren wrote: mo
one should underestimate the vital
role in q democracy played by those
who guide and train our youth.
To impose any straitjacket upon the
intellectual leaders In our colleges
and universities would imperil the
future Of our Nation"

ing the county auditor, county
treasurer and the prosecuting
attorney.
In the past, the board has
often deviated from the re-
quirements of the law, and as a
result many properties are per-
mitted to remain as delinquent
on the county's tax duplicate.
Thru the conscientious efforts
of the present members of the
board, the. accepted procedure IS
now being followed with the
end result that following the
selling, the forfeiture and fore
closure items, scheduled for
next weeks publications, Noble
county's unpaid tax properties
will stand at an all-time low.
Following the publication of
the forfeiture items for two
consecutive weeks, at which
time the properties will be
forfeited to the state, a hearing
date will be established by the
common pleas court to allow
objections to be submitted for
the action of the board of
revision.
This date will be announced
next week.

chure, the first piece Of promo
ton prepared for general dis
tribution, which incorporated the
historical points Of interest in
counties of Morgan, Monroe,
Washington, and Noble, has
resulted in much favorable COM
ment.
