but the bill that came to us from
the House, the bill we passed in
the Senate, was nothing else but
a confession bill, because it arose
out of the misinterpretation by
the United States Court of Appeals
for the District of Columbia OF
the meaning of the Mallory deci-
sion with respect to the admissible
ity of confessions.
Accordingly, I have no hesita-
ton in saying that it is my firm
opinion that the record made by
Congress in the consideration of
this bill down to the final hour of
the debate, will satisfy the trial
and appellate courts of the Dis
trict of Columbia and the coun-
try that in the Judgment of Con-
greSs land it was Congress that
authorized the adoption of rule
5 (a)) the courts Of the land
should not interpret the Mallory
decision to deny to law enforce
ment officers the right to give
effective and intelligent law en-
forcement to the people they are
employed to protect against
crimes of violence.
And another thing, the alliance
between Senator Morse and Vice
President Nixon was only Incl
dental. The fllibuster by one of
the principal advocates in the
Senate of a rule to end filibusters,
had proceeded so far by promise
and by performance that a quor-
UNI was not left at 4:10 am. Sum-
day to act and the Vice President,
I am sure, had that in mind when
he handed down his ruling.

ton. We believe that image is not
accurate. Yet that image has
been responsible for a tremendous
decline in our capacity to influence
the course of history and for our
inability to stay in the forefront
of vast evolutionary forces at
work in the world.
This militaristic image is COM
pounded from many sources. /
am sure, however, that the pro-
pensity of our Secretary of State
to indulge in such phrase making
as massive retaliation, brink of
war;" and liberation" has not
been helpful.
Furthermore, our preoccupation
with military pactS, "clean bombs,
strategic atomic weapons, and the
supplying of great quantities of
weapons to underdeveloped coun-
tries, has not served to promote an
image of a peaceful people dedi-
Gated to life. liberty, and the pur-
suit of happiness.
Is it possible that this militar-
istic image of the United States
may be attributable to what we
say and do, instead of to what the
Communists may allege about us?
Another damaging image of the
United States is that we are
superficial, irresponsible, and self
centered people, interested pri-
marily in our own luxurious
living.
Fundamentally, this is not. I
believe, true image. Neverthe-
less, we are irresponsible in the
practice of sending amateur am
bassadorS to represent us abroad,
unable to speak the language of
the country to which they are
sent.
We do enjoy our luxurious and
vulgar automobiles but can't af-
ford adequate school buildings.
We pay our mechanics more than
our school teachers, our business

equality. And we must demon
strate by our actions the sincerity
Of our beliefs to the great mass
Of humanity throughout the
world.
For all people have ideals which
they seem to attain. Our leadership
and inspiration are desperately
needed. This friendship we must
demonstrate with more than
words; we must foster programs to
meet the immediate needs OF UNI
derdeveloped lands and their long
er range necessities.
Rights Of All Motions
1t is equally imperative that we
recognize the nationalistic tenden-
cies of other peoples. The tradi-
tional concept Of maintaining
peace through a balance Of power
is now outmoded; today we must
seek new means for keeping peace
through recognition of the rights
of all nations and their over
whelming desire to grow and
prosper.
To speak perfectly realistically,
we must deal also with contradic-
tory detectives. Our Nation wishes
to keep England, France. and other
powerful allies as our friends. Yet,
we must also recognize that in
many cases the peoples of their
former colonies wish to assert
their independence and their rights
to self determination.
Whether our leadership is Re-
publican or Democratic it will be
faced as it has in the past with a
constant struggle to reconcile the
need for long-range detectives in
international policy with the need
to come to grips with ever-re-
curing crises. We must all devote
our fullest energies to this task.
The leader of our diplomatic ef-
fort, John Foster Dulles, has been
a vigorous and intelligent Secre-
tary Of State.
President Eisenhower has given
strong leadership to our inter-
national policies. Certainly no
other man alive today is SO we'll
known and respected throughout
the four corners of the world.
His prestige has helped us to
maintain peace.
And the peoples of the world
believe in his sincere desire to
achieve that peace.
To make his leadership effec-
tive we must realize the condi-
tons under which we must act,
and the ultimate detectives for
which we want to plan. Actions
not words-are what millions of
people want today in their fight
for better living conditions and
more freedom. We Americans can
never be complacent as to what
the future may bring forth for
we know too we'll from past ex-
perience the stakes which rest
upon this great world struggle.

in power, it has been difficult to
maintain long-range policies when
faced with constant crises in vari-
Gus areas of the world. We strive
hard to insure that these crises
will not cause the outbreak of a
new war. We consume our energy
and efforts in meeting immediate

If we seek to fix responsibility
in our failings in the conduct of
international affairs, we cannot
avoid a criticism of the Congress
and indeed of our own people.
Our people have been slow to as

instability of Evidence-State-
ments and Confessions.
The subsection the Senate
amended consisted of 40 words as
it came from the House and Al
words as it went to conference.
This is how it read:
(a) Evidence, including state
ments and confessions, other
wise admissible, shall not be
inadmissible solely because of
reasonable delay in taking an ar
rested person before a commits
sioner or other officer empow-
cred to commit persons charged
with of1enses against the laws
Of the United States"
The Reel Question
It will be seen that from the
very beginning the bill dealt with
only one question, one issue, one
matter, namely, the admissibility
Of Observation-Disclosures and con-
LESSONS. This the Senate did not
change by inserting the word
reasonable" What the Senate
did, and the House accepted, was
only to make clear by the use of
the word reasonable" that rule

Criminal Procedure, which re-
quires an arresting officer to take
the arrested person without I'M
necessary delay before the near
est available commissioner or be-
fore any other nearby officer en-
powered to commit persons
charged with offenses against the
laws of the United States" does
not impose upon the police the
obligation of presenting a pris-
oner for arraignment so speedily
as to hamper effective and intelli-
gent law enforcement.
In the report and on the floor
quoted the language of Justice
Felix Frankfurter in the Mallory
decision to prove that he recog-
nized effective and intelligent law
enforcement as a necessary and
proper part of criminal law en-
forcement. He put it simply and
plainly in the following words:
THE requirement of rule 5(a)
is a part of the procedure de-
vised by Congress for safeguard
ing individual rights without

hampering effective and intel
ligent law enforcement"
BY strange coincidence, perhaps,
Justice Frankfurter had been the
writer of the opinion in each of
three famous cases involving the
sdmissibility of confessions made
by prisoners before arraignment
but while being detained by the
arresting officers. In the McNabb
case, decided before the adoption
of Rule 5 tal. Justice Frankrurter
said that "the mere fact that a
confession was made while in the
custody of police does not render
it inadmisSible. Later, on April
"a. 1914, after Rule 5 tal had been
adopted, Justice Frankfurter,
again writing the opinion of the
court in the case of United States
VS.. Mitchell, cited the above quo
tation from the McNabb case and
then said:
Under the circumstances of
this case, the trial courts were
quite right in admitting for the
jury's Judgment the testimony
relating to Mitchell's oral con-
LESSONS as well as the property
recovered as a result of his con-
sent to search of his home"
Search and Seizure
In holding in the latter case that
the property obtained by the Off
GERS as a result of a search of the
defendants home, was admissible
as evidence, the justice was hold
ing that the search and seizure
was not unreasonable as con-
demned by the Fourth Amendment
to the Federal Constitution.
AS chairman Of the conference
committee, which held three sep
arate sessions, ! insisted from the
outset that the word reasonable"
should remain, but the House con-
ferees were insistent that we
should not lose sight of the fact
that we were dealing with a bill
relating to the admission of con-
LESSONS by the defendant in
criminal case. A half dozen ex-
planatory provisos were discussed
and finally the conferees agreed
by majority vote to add this ex-
planatory provision:
Provided, That such delay is
to be considered as an element
in determining the voluntary or
involuntary nature of such
statements or confessions.
From the moment the original
bills were introduced in the SEN
ate and the House, they dealt with
the "admissibility of evidence
statements and confessions" and
that was the title given in both
bills to the proposed new section
Of the United States Code. The
only purpose of the Senate amend
ment was to introduce the rule of
reason in interpreting the delay
which might intervene between
arrest and arraignment and dur
ing which an admissible confess
sion might be obtained. The only
purpose of the proviso was to make
clear that the word reasonable"
did not change the substance of
the measure or the real meaning
Of Justice Frankfurter's opinions
in the Mallory, the Mitchell and
the McNabb cases.

Although the conference report

the Senate during the closing
hours of its last session on Sun

of the appellate courts and Of the

talk against the advancing hour
Of final adjournment.
Indeed, before midnight the
rumor was put in circulation that
the Senator from Oregon was pre-
pared to talk for 10 hours. if
necessary, to prevent the approval
of the report. This rumor was
accepted by many Senators as
proof that it would be futile to
remain in attendance and the
quorum, so necessary to do the
business of a legislative body, be-

Only S. Senators Present
Indeed, shortly after midnight
a motion of Senator Morton of
Kentucky to table the motion of
Senator Douglas to recommit the
Lake Michigan Diversion Bill with
instructions to make an imme-

and 40 were recorded as absen-

The minute hand on the SEN

was submitted to the House Of

United states Senator From Massachusetts,
Partisanship has no place in
the formulation of our foreign or
defense policies. Republicans and
Democrats alike seek the same
patriotic detectives. The loyal
opposition" has a great RESPONSE
bility to criticize constructively
the conduct of international af-
fairs.
But the emphasis must be on
constructive criticism and where
policies are criticized there is an
equal responsibility to offer al
tentative approaches.
Above all we must be construc-
tive. Constant negative criticism
and inaccurate pessimism only
contribute TO an erosion Of our
Nations will and determination.
the destruction of our will and
determination - what l have
called "psycho-surrender" - could
jeopardize our Nations future.
Experience of recent years has
taught the necessity of supporting
our foreign policy with strong
military posture. We must main
tain that quantum of military
strength-as we have today-that
will at any given time be adequate
to deter a potential enemy from
attacking us.
