De GcuIIe's Firm Hand on France

Those who are close TO DE

asks, but seldom follows, say

years BY the confused policies
Of the West toward Moscow.
This has brought about the

icy Of attempting 70 keep the
ship Of peace on an even
course by economic and A.
nancial assistance has not
brought the expected results,
either in the Middle East or
in the Far East.
Nations which have be-
come independent since the
end Of the war and have
benefited hugely from the
American so-called peace
program" are turning toward
the Soviet Union and Com-
munist China because in
their eyes those countries
represented unadulterated
power which they are pre-
pared to use to achieve their
detectives. They see Amer
lea wavering every time the
chips seem to be down. while
the Soviet Union talks loud
ly and does not hesitate to
rattle the sword. Such poll
icies may find approval in
Western Europe where trade
Is so important. But its
effects on the new coun.
tries" is different. They see
only the massive power OF
international communism
and hasten to 60 to its side,
either wholeheartedly or by
remaining officially uncom-
mitted. Actually these un-
committed nations are for all
practical purposes in the Red
camp.
1t may be that De Gaulle
will not only save France
from her present perilous
position but also instill some
more will power in her allies.

dollars--in uncashed checks
which do not bear his name.
The subcommittee had un-
dertaken to show that such
facts are relevant to its pri-
mary mission, which is to
discover how the regulatory
agencies are 4unctioning. Now
it must pause to regain solid
ground on which to operate.
It's staff problem at first
glance would seem to be part
of a general problem afflict-
ing the Government since it
became so security conscious.
In an investigative era every
body needed investigators and
far too many groups, includ-
ing committees of the Con-
gress, have not been too scru-
pulous or careful about who
got that job with its great
potential for general mischief.
Members of Congress and
reporters alike have been con-
scious Of the floating army of
private eyes who have turned
up with fair regularity on
routine as we'll as special in
quiries. Some of them have
prestige and enjoy good re-
pute. Wherever they prepare a
case or testify they work with
facts and records. Generally.
they get a good press and

Others cater to the special
interests of their employers.

ernment is stable or whether
we won't run the risk that
the temperamental De Gaulle
might switch TO the USSR in
the event he finds that to be
the easiest way TO restore
France to her centuries-old
power and glory.
AS things stand now. the
State Departments top policy
makers believe that. all
things considered, France has
a steady government for the
first time since the end of
the war. 1t is supported not
only by the power OF the
armed forces but also by the
bulk of the people, regard
less Of past political ,afiilia-
tions. AS to De Gaulle's
switching" to the Soviet
Union, the answer is less GER
tain. But it is pointed out
that they can see little ad-
vantage for his plans by even
flirting with the Muscovites.
AS do many other Euro
peans and many knowledge
able Americans, Gen. de
Gaulle likes the Russian peo-
pie. and particularly their
fighting spirit when they are
called to the defense of their
country. But he has abso-
lutely no confidence in the
men in the Kremlin, whom
he regards even more than
some of our policy makers. as
totally untrustworthy.
De Gaulle Is said to concur
fully with Secretary Dulles
that international cornmu-
nism is the greatest menace
the world has encountered
since the fall Of the Roman
Empire. But the French Pre-
mier also is reported to be a
firm opponent of pussyfoot-
ing policies adopted by the
Western powers toward the
men in the Kremlin.

Putting Emphasis on Suspicion

to confine itself TO pertinent
evidence. II has delved into
the realm Of tax deductions
and tax returns as If 10 im-
ply that because the busi-
nesSman made an inaccu-
rate computation on some
expenses involving negligible
amounts Of taxes, this con-
stitutes proof Of his intent
to exert an improper In
fiuence on a governmental
commission through the me-
dium of a friend.
Many people have jumped
to the conclusion that just
because the episode is full of
innuendoes and implications
Of impropriety, there must
necessarily have been some
kind Of a crime committed.
The House committee has not
taken pains to hold the scales
of justice even. It has instead
added to the smears through
impromptu statements to the
press by committee members
who have put their own hos
tile interpretations on testi-
mony and ON the character Of
the witnesses appearing be-
fore the committee.
There have been excesses
in congressional hearings be-
fore, but never has a COM
mittee allowed itself to be
used in this way as a vehicle
for the venting Of spleen by
one businessman against an
other. Nor have committee
investigators before engaged
in such high-handed tactics
as now are being revealed.
The quicker the mess in
Congress" is cleaned up by
the Democratic Party's cur
rent leadership. the sooner
the country will begin to
think better of its legislators.
For the old principle Of
Anglo-Saxon law that a man
is presumed innocent until
proved guilty has been COM
pletely reversed and a COM
mittee of Congress through
its behavior has proclaimed
in effect that a man is guilty
until proved innocent.

BROWN
Dulles Reported Pleased, Convinced
Nation Has a Stable Leader at Last

Secretary Of State Dulles
returned pleased" with his
hours-long talks with Premier
Charles de Gaulle. His pleas
ure stems not so much from
any positive results from the
visit but because he became
convinced that France has
acquired a stable leader after
so many years. Or, as some
diplomats put it: THE
French politicians have found
their master."
There is no question that
MIR. Dulles found Gen. de
Gaulle a difficult man. He
cannot be sidetracked from
his fundamental idea that
France is q great and glorious
country which must resume
its position as one Of the
worlds great powers.
The Premier has insisted
that his country must become
an atomic nation" Just like
America, Britain and the
Soviet Union. He does not
think in terms Of atoms for
peace, either. He is said to
have impressed on Mr.. Dulles
that in order to assist the
free world to resist the OBJ
vious, devious and direct at
tempts Of international COM
munism to dominate it.
France must have the same
deterrent power as America
and Britain. Whether this is
to be done the easy way with
Washington sharing the So
called secrets with the Paris
government or wheth e r
France should reach her goals
by her own efforts is i'm
material.
Congress will have to de-
eide whether to share our
nuclear secrets with the
French. There still are many
legislators who are asking

DORIS FLEEsoN
The League of the Imprudent

These men are passed around
to select groups. Occasionally
they stick their necks out too
far and the heat becomes too
great, so they have to go.
Carmine Bellino, chief ac-
countant for the Mcclellan
racketeering committee, is an
example of the best type Of
investigator. j. B. Matthews
who committed the impru-
dence of attacking the
Protestant ministry as fur
nishing too many fellow
travellers for communism,
when he was working for the
late Senator Mccarthy, typi-
fed the other class.
Generally speaking a COM
mittee's staff is a fair re-
Election of the chairman'S
personal code of ethics, his
common sense and-to be
perfectly fair-his worldly ex-
perience. Members of Con-
gress come often from places
and circles where police work
is an attractive novelty; they
can be dazzled just as the
public sometimes is by plaus-
ible characters on its fringe.
The Harris subcommittee
set its staff a bad example
when it spied upon its first
chief counsel, Bernard
Schwartz, and generally mis-
handled that impulsive ideal
ist in a way which reflected
upon its own sense of the
fitness of things. 1t is being
punished now by its own
acute embarrassment over
the present predicament of
its chief investigator.

Power Concentration in Government
Seen Leading to Same Outside

If one tries to get to the
heart of the matter in the
Sherman Adams Bernard
Goldfine case with interpo-
lations by the inimitable Mr..
John Fox, it is in the judg-
ment attributed to Lord
Acton: "All power corrupts.
and absolute power corrupts
absolutely"
The greater the concentra-
ton of power, the more in
evitable and ruthless becomes
the struggle for influence at
the seat of power. Power is
primarily political and eco
nomic. In our country, in the
last half-century and espe-
cially in the last Is years, both
powers have been merged,
concentrated and centralized
at a rate of extreme velocity.
Washington is no longer
)nly the seat of the Federal
Government. The Govern
ment is the largest economic
and financial operator in the
United States. Every industry
in the country is to greater or
less extent dependent upon
the orders 1t places with
them, even, in cases, the in
vestment money it puts, in
one way or another, at their
disposal. The Air Force alone
cas- I have hitherto remarked
is the largest single business
in America. Purveying to
royal courts always is the
most cherished prize of man
ufacturers in nations that are
monarchies. but no court in
history, including those of alb
solute monarchies, has had
as many favors TO dispense as
the Federal Government in
Washington.
This concentration of eco
nomic power in the hands Of
politicians and bureaucrats
has led to an enormous pro-
Iteration of quasi judicial
agencies and necesSitated an
immense extension of taxa
ton. The powers of the agen-
cies are not, and probably
cannot be. precisely defined.

agencies are asked to choose

the general lines of avoiding
monopoly and with a view
to the public interest and
convenience. But competing
stations and networks have a
private interest, far keener
and goal directed than the
public's, which is not in a
position really to know what
its interest is. The fight the
great networks have waged
against subscription television
is simply the use of the media
they control to rally the pub

to support their private in

The mess in Congress"
continues. Now II turns out
that a chief investigator for
congressional committee
arranged for a hidden micro
phone in the hotel room OF a
witness. He was promptly
fired. but viii the committee
luse the information unlaw-
fully gathered Tor nearly a
week? Also. a portion Of the
witness papers was stolen
from his locked room over
the week end. Responsibility
for the theft has not yet been
fixed by the Washington po-
lice or by the FBI.
This is a sequel TO many
other strange happenings
which indicate that a COM
mittee of Congress has al
lowed itself to be used to
carry on a personal vendetta
between businessmen.
What the country is told is
that this is somehow all ger
name to an investigation of
independent commissions and
boards and the way persons
seek to influence them.
Actually, it is developing
into a smear of Congress it
self, as well as of men in
public Office. To imply, in ef-
feet, that men in Washing
ton, both in the executive
and legislative branches. are
crooked because they take
gifts from someone who does
business with the Govern
rment is to besmirch official
dom as a whole. For the
emphasis now is on suspicion
and not on evidence of
wrongdoing.
The Supreme Court of the
United States again and
again has frowned on what it
terms fishing expeditions"
by congressional committees.
There is no authority under
the Constitution to require a
witness to disclose in public
his private business affairs
unless it can be proved that

House Group Seen Not T0king Pains
To Hold Scales of Justice Even

some particular piece Of in
formation is germane to the
hearing.
But the technique used is
to leak something out to a
hostile press representative
who is also engaged in a
Smearing job. Then. unless
the witness reveals all the de-
tails of his business, no mat
ter how irrelevant 1t may be
to the inquiry itself, he is
held up in the headlines as
having suppressed something.
The end result is to force him
to testify on unrelated mat
.ters concerning his methods
Of fighting business COM
petitors.
Congressional investiga-
tions are important to the
conduct of Government. They
have been of inestimable
value in exposing weaknesses
in the governmental struc-
ture. But the inquiries have
been most successful when
the committees have kept
their eyes fixed on those
weaknesses, rather than al
lowing their inquiries to be
used as a vehicle of mud
singing.
Today the revelation that
Sherman Adams accepted
gifts from a businessman who
happened to be his close
friend has been exaggerated
into a widely spread charge
that something unlawful was
done. Actually no such evi-
dence has been produced.
Even the businessman who
showered his gifts, including
vicuna coats, on Governors
of States as well as employees
in the Federal Government
has not been found to have
exerted any improper influ-
ence on any governmental
agency. His inquiries were
lawfully made.
But the congressional COM
mittee has not been content
