Shah of Iran
Discusses New
Aryon Group

TEHERAN. Iran, Sept. 81
CAP).-The Shah Of Iran said
today the question of forming
an Aryan confedartion-com-
posed of Iran, Turkey, Pakistan
and Afghanistan-is now under
serious consideration.
The Shah gave no details.
But he said:
II am proud that for the first
time Persian speaking nations
are forming such unity, which
is aimed at defending their own
territories against any agrees
sion"
THE Shah was using the
word Aryan in its clinical
sense. not in the way the
Nazis used it under Hitler.
Strictly speaking Aryan
means the Indo- Iranians: the
Caucasian race. one branch
Of which early occupied the
Iranian plateau, while
another entered India and
conquered and amalgamated
with the primitive inhabi-
tants.)
The Shah emphasized that
Iran and its allies have no ag-
gressive aims in forming de-
fensive pacts bot only to de-
fend each inch its own ter
ritories." He also said that un.

than are the Democrats.
This, however, need not be-
and almost certainly will
not be-the final and decisive
image left by the Secretary.
For immediate partisan
Republican advantage would
best be served by so stirring
up matters as to lead to the
failure of any labor legisla-
ton at all this session. And
whatever his motive, Mr..
Mitchell certainly has been
stirring up matters. To have
no legislation would detour
the harsh necessity Of
putting the Republicans
firmly on record in a con-
gressional election year.
Specifically, it would avoid
committing them either to
the frankly tough" APP
proach of Senator Knowland,
the orthodox Republican
leader, or to the milder
approach undoubtedly ia
vored by the Nixon-Dewey
Republicans.
Afterward, there would be
time enough and to spare for
Mr.. Mitchell to placate labor
before l960-after Senator
Knowland's inconveniently
uncomprising presence had
gone from the Senate. He is
leaving his seat in January,
whether or not he should re-.
cover and win the California
governorship.
Finally, there is this pow
erfully suggestive indication
that Operation Mitchell is
indeed going on just as it
seems to be: Mitchell is an
old protege Of former Cover
nor Thomas E. Dewey Of New
York-and Mr.. Dewey is an
incomparably influential adj
wiser of Vice President Nixon.
If Mr.. Dewey could have
had his way. Mr.. Mitchell
would have been President
Eisenhower's Secretary of
Labor from the beginning.
The late Senator Robert A.
Taft of Ohio vetoed an origi-
nal Mitchell appointment be-
cause Mr.. Mitchell was a

the Cabinet only after Sen
ator Taft had died and after

who had not had q previous

charges being made against
them before congressional
committees or 10 answer such
charges before degrading
publicity was issued.
The reason for all this. OF
course. is politics. The Re-
publicans in the 1862 cam
paign referred often 70 the
charges OF corruption which
they said had happened un-
der the Truman regime. Now
the Democrats ere striking
back. II happens. however.
that some Of the individuals
involved In those charges
under the Truman admins
tration were tried by the
courts and ordered TO serve
Jail sentences. This is not at
all parallel TO what was re-
vealed last week under the
Republican administration.
Plsinly. II Sherman Adams
had thought at the time that
there was anything wrong in
accepting presents or hos
pitality from an old friend.
he would have avoided any
such embarrassment. Like
wise, II he had believed 1t
was improper to phone a
governmental agency to
make a routine inquiry about
a friends case. Mr.. Adams
would never have done 1t.
Theoretically. he should have
rejected any hospitality or
gifts at Christmas from
every friend and should have
said: Il am sorry. but. II I
take the gifts and someday
you need an introduction TO
any Government ofhcial-to
which you would be justly
entitled-I will not be able
to do for you what / could
do for a perfect stranger"
Many members of Con-
gress frequently accept gifts
and hospitality from their
constituents who have legis-
lation pending in the Senate
or the House. Is this proper"
or improper? 1t certainly is
not on its face evidence of
corruption but only a strik-
ing example Of how guilt by
innuendo" can impair the
right Of every individual TO
be considered honest until
proved dishonest.

Improper" for any ofhcial

General Vaughan. who was

Truman, was unjustly ma
llqncd for accepting a deep"
freeze ana other gifts from
old friends who happened TO
have business relationships
with the Government. This
correspondent wrote on Au-
gust II. l94s, in defense Of
General Vaughan as follows:
General Vaughan pre-
sumably has the right to
speak for the White House.
II the words military aide
had been dropped from his
title and he had acted SIM
ply as one Of the many civil
ian assistants at the White
House, II is doubtful whether
much fuss would have been
stirred UP about his activi-
ties. As one Of the Presi-
dents assistants he has had
the right to telephone to or
confer with anybody about
anything happening in the
Government.

Sherman Adams, chief aide
10 President Eisenhower In
the work OF the executive
ofhces. is a man Of integrity.
The President Is convinced
he Is. The mere fact that Mr..
Adams may have accepted
gifts and hospitality from a
longtime friend Is not EVIL
dence either OF corruption or
Of the exercise Of an im-
proper influence by Mr..
Adams upon any Of the inde-
pendent governmental bodies
mentioned In the case, To in
sinuate or infer that there
was corruption is 10 libel Mr..
Adams. Congressional COM
mittees are, however. i'm
mune from libel prosecutions.
Thus regulations can be ir-
reparably damaged by state
ments made by members Of
congressional committees or
their stats in giving smear
news to the press.
In this instance the infor-
nation as to what Mr.. Adams
really did was not handled
by the House committee in
such a way that his answer
could be given to the public
the same day the charges
were made. The accusations
we're widely spread before
the rebuttal could be pre-
sented. The implications Of
wrongdoing were not sup
ported by any proof of undue
influence.
The House OF Representa-
tives, by resolution. in March
1855 modified its own rules
and provided that evidence
which might tend to de-
fame or to degrade" an indi-
vidual must be submitted in
private session and an oppor-
tunity afforded the person
involved to submit to rebuff
tai. This rule was violated
by the House committee in
the Adams case even after
attention was called to the
rule. For there was no "evi-
dence" of any wrongdoing.
Incidentally not so long
ago the so-called liberals"
we're crying out vehemently
against the doctrine Of
guilt by association" and
against "innuendoes" public
