But the delay must not be of nature

the police to get written confession"

Implicit in the definition-and in
the dissent-is the inference that some

confession involving a fairly complex
fact situation. Thus the real thrust of
the objection goes to the very rendering
of the confession to written form. This
is an attack upon q fundamental con.
cept of the law which has always ia
vored and encouraged the writing Of
freely expressed declarations which are
known to be of crucial importance in
order to minimize litigation and dis
putes as to just what was said. Delay

it means passage of time during which

The reference to Hitler's
remark recalls the comment,

pressed to Western diplomats
by Khrushchev a few weeks
ago at a cocktail party in
Moscow, when he was dis

The fact that the President
now calls attention publicly
to this threat by Khrushchev
is one of the most significant
changes in recent policy here.
Heretofore, statements and

other austerity. AS any skilled
propaganda can testify, they
don't go we'll in tandem.
Reporters tried with little
success at the White House
to get a sharper outline of
what the President has in
mind in the way of a pro-
gram to overtake Soviet edu-
cation in science and engi-
neering. The telephones also
rang steadily at the cabinet

1t appears that actual pro-
posals are still lin work"
but clues do exist to what
the President likes in the
package brought to him. Near
the end of his Oklahoma City
remarks he mentioned four
things he said we should
have" as follows:
"A system of Nationwide
testing of high school stu
dents and a system of incen-
tives for high-aptitude stu
dents to pursue scientific or
professional studies.
"A program to stimulate
good quality teaching of
mathematics and science.

Measures including fell
lowships to increase the out
put of qualified teachers"
Reliable sources indicate
these things will be found in
the new Eisenhower program.
Notably, they do not include
any form of the school con-
struction bill which narrowly
failed last year.
The truth is that the Pres
ident and certain of his close
advisers have a tenacious and
obsessive fear of anything in
the way of Federal action
which might impair local
responsibility and control. 1t
is going to be difficult for
them to accept the implica-
tons of Federal action in the
field of education. just as it
has in the past.
Repeatedly in his speech
the President stressed the
role of the citizen. THE
biggest part of the task is in
your hands," he said at one
point.
Unquestionably, this re-
luctance to make so great a
break with the American
past as the program to over
take the Soviets implies will
be shared widely by men,
bers of Congress. 1t only
makes it the more necessary
for the President to bite
the bullet" and then persuade
the country to support the
steps he says must be taken.

This is a vivid description
of slavery. The President is,
in effect. telling the world
and particularly the people
of Soviet Russia that what
ever they may achieve in a
material way does them little
good-for they have no indi-
vidual freedom. It's the core
of the whole problem of
Communist tyranny which
is celebrated now as the 40th
anniversary of q "revolu-
ton" whose fruits have been
denied to the people of the
Soviet Union.

munists could conquer the
Western allies, there would
be little chance for freedom
anywhere else. The Presi-
dent expressed a national
doctrine of fearlessness and
self-confidence as follows:
THE real strength with
which the self-governing
democracies have met the
tests of history is something
denied to relationships. 1t is
found in the quality Of our
life, and the vigor of our
ideals 1t manifests itself in
the ever-astonishing capacity
of free men for voluntary
heroism, sacrifice and accom-
plishment when the chips are

The President laid it on the
line for the whole world to
read when he declared:

that its leaders are quite will

tries. They are even more
