The Supreme Court OF the
United States added several
complexities to the judge
made chaos Of our times
Monday when it handed down
a decision freeing two Ameri-
can women who murdered
their soldier husbands. The
reason for acquitting them is
that, because they lived in
military quarters overseas.
they were denied a civilian
trial by jury"
Maybe Congress now will be
encouraged to give the same
"civil rights" of trial by jury
to both white and Negro citi-
zens in the South who don't
commit murder but are merely
charged with criminal con-
tempt" under vaguely worded
court injunctions.
Eight justices participated
in the decision and the ninth
refrained because he had not
been on the court long
enough to hear the whole case.
But the ruling and dissenting
opinions, which covered more
than 5000 words, do not give
members Of Congress or any
one else the slightest inkling
Of what is or is not 1.-The SUI
preme law of the land" on this
particular issue.
Four justices ruled that the
wives of servicemen cannot
be tried overseas or any
where else by court-martial
but must be tried by civilian
courts-either foreign or spe-
cially provided for by the
United States.
Two justices in separate
opinions agreed to dispose OF
the case by freeing the two
women because they said they
had not had a jury trial and
that in the matter of a CAPT.
tai offenSe punishable by
death-there has to be a jury
trial. They declared that
other kinds Of offenses COM
mitted by civilians attached
to the armed forces might pos
sibly come within military
jurisdiction but declined to be
specific about future cases.
Two dissenting justices said
the evidence showed that two
women "brutally killed their
husbands, both American
soldiers. while stationed with
them In quarters furnished by

The televised interview
staged in the Kremlin between
Nikita Khrushchev, first sec
rotary Of the Soviet Com
munist Party. a CHS news
correspondent and moderator,
and the Moscow correspondent
of the New York Herald Trib-
une, has annoyed the White
House and State Department.
The President remarked that
1t was a commercial venture,
and Washington's reaction was
TO dismiss it as propaganda.
The CHS correspondent in
Washington mentioned to the
President that the program on
which Khrushchev appeared
was "suStaining"-not paid for
by advertisers but by the
broadcasting company. But it
is also a commercial enterprise
operating for profit. Such en-
terprises attract advertisers by
attracting listeners. so presum-
ably CHS thought that setting
the stage for the worlds lead
ing Communist was good bust
ness.
Khrushchev showed himself
happy TO cooperate with a
capitalist corporation willing
to give him the opportunity to
present Russian and Com
munist policy to Americans
over the head Of their own
Government, and, Of course, he
made propaganda. What else
would he do2 The pertinent
questions are whether the
propaganda was effective, and
Just why CHS wanted to dis
seminate 1t. Some OF 1t prob
ably was effective. At numer-
Gus points Khrushchev showed
American foreign policy to be
lame.

Supreme Court Ruling Is Criticized
As Not DeIineotinq Law of Lond

our armed forces on its mill
tary installations in foreign
lands"
These justices wanted to up
hold the ruling of the military
tribunal which had sent the
women to prison for life.
Now it so happens that
these two cases were decided
the other way - the military
court was upheld-in a deci-
sion handed down a year ago
by the Supreme Court.
The high court seldom re-
verses itself. If 1t does, it
usually contends that some
new facts have been brought
out that weren't available be-
fore. This time the majority
Of the justices say frankly
their previous decision was
wrong. Justice Frankfurter in
his separate opinion goes to
considerable pains, however,
to show that the ruling rem
dered q year ago was based on
a previous decision in another
case that really doesn't re-
semble the facts or circum-
stances surrounding the pres
ent case.
One wonders after reading
Justice Frankfurter's explana-
ton why four of the six
justices who voted to release
the murderers didn't at least
give some such explanation
when they reversed the famous
opinion upholding separate
but equal" facilities in schools.
This decision was rendered
originally in 1896 and was
then reversed in 1854 when the
court merely said it believed
"sociological.' considerations
had somehow grown more i'm
portant-a concession to ex-
pediency. Frankfurter in his
opinion last Monday. however,
in arguing for the idea of Civ
ing explanations when rever-
sails by the court occur, quoted
approvingly of the following
concept:
If a precedent involving a
black horse is applied to a
case involving a white horse,
we are not excited. If it were
an elephant. then we would
venture into thought. The
difference might make a diff
ference. We really are con-
cerned about precedent is
chiefly when their facts differ

Khrushchev Likes Our TeIeyision

Khrushchev's call for mo
embargo on cultural exchange"
also requires some probings.
The only embargos on cultural
exchanges have been made by
governments. and in this the
Soviets have been leaders. II
all governments would take
their hands of. books. plays.
art. news publications, music,
balletS. and theatrical per-
formances would move natu-
rally from country to country
via independent publishers,
promoters and dealers. But
what goes abroad from the
Soviets today is more prop
uganda than culture" since
all art is government con-
trolled.
Modern Soviet music is
known in America novels
have been translated; probably
the Russian ballet would re-
ceive a warm reception here.
But the moment governments
begin organizing cultural ex-
changes" culture tends to be-
come an instrument OF ofiicial
political penetration.
Khrushchev spoke OF peace
full coexistence between cap
italist and socialist societies.
Again no definition Of terms,
Socialism In practice is q sys-
TEN OF monopoly state cap
italism. But in so-called cap
italist societies. including our
own. state capitalism Is stead
lily invading every sector OF the
economy. and there is not the
slightest prospect that the
process will be reversed.
The only way people have
ever been able peaceably to
coexist is TO mind their own
business. Good fences make
good neiRhbors.

Americans must not get dis
couraged about disarmament
negotiations with the Russians,
President Eisenhower said to-
day.
He told a news conference he
is against any recess in the dis
armament talks going on in
London that might be occa-
stoned just because someone is
tired or discouraged.
Once in a while, the Presi-
dent added, a recess in the long,
drawn-out negotiations might
be necessary for study of new
ideas.
Mr.. Eisenhower insisted there
is nothing illogical in the
United States considering set
ting up a stockpile of atomic
weapons for its NATO allies
while one purpose of the dis
armament talks is to curb the
start of nuclear weapons.
Sees Defense Need
He said if the NATO allies
should have to defend them
selves against nuclear attack
they should have the oppor-
tunity to strike back with
atomic weapons.
He pointed out that setting
up a NATO stockpile of Amer
ican-made nuclear weapons
would make it unnecessary for
the other countries involved to
try to manufacture their own
and in this way would be be
in line with disarmament OBJ
jectives.
The President told a ques-
toner there is no connection
between the London disarma-
ment talks and new order to
cut American armed forces by
100000 men.
He said he and Secretary
Wilson believe the defense es-
Establishment is a little stronger
in manpower than necessary
in connection with their efforts
to achieve a perfectly balanced
defense force.
He remarked that combat
units are being streamlined
and headquarters forces should
be greatly reduced.
While NATO must be armed
properly, the President empha-
sized that at present there is
no decision about an atomic
stockpile and he is just study
ing what to do. He refused to
disclose just how far the
studies have gone except to
point out that there are laws
which have to be observed in
carrying forward the aim of
trying to make full partners
of Americas allies. Presumably
the Atomic Energy Act would
have to be changed to permit

any action on the NATO stock
pile idea.
Security Stressed
Mr.. Eisenhower emphasized
that he believes that the Sc
curity of the United States
rests in its alliances and con-
tinuing mutual assistance pro-
grams.
Essential to this system of
alliances, he said, are the
status of forces treaties which
have come under fire by some
members of Congress since the
Girard case in Japan.
These treaties authorize the
trial of members of the Ameri-
can armed forces by local
authorities abroad for offenses
committed while off duty. The
case that brought the treaties
to public attention involved
Army Specialist &c William
S. Girard, accused of causing
the death of a Japanese wo-
man. Girard has been turned
over to Japan for trial.

ping the present agreements
would compel the United States
to call home all of its forces
stationed abroad.
He appealed for public I'M
Outstanding that such arrange
ments are necessary in dealing
with nations who take pride
in their sovereignty.
He remarked that the Girard
case is a single instance
whipped up to a size wholly
out of proportion in view of
the fact that some 10000 cases
have been handled under the
status of forces agreements
without attracting widespread
attention.
