Matter of Common Sense

The realities of this nuclear year
1858 argue very strongly In favor of the
administrations request for congress
sional action to liberalize our present
atomic law. As 1t stands now, the law,
which has been outmoded by Soviet
scientific and chronological advances,
contains secrecy provisions that make
little sense. In effect, they are provi-
sions that debar us from cooperating
with our allies in way that could add
substantially to the free worlds security
In a period Of great potential danger.
These provisions were justifiable in
the days when the United States en-
1oyed an atomic monopoly. But the
secrets" that then were ours alone have
long since ceased to be ours alone, and
the law designed to protect them, or
keep them under wraps, has become OBJ
solete accordingly. Certainly, as far as
the Russians are concerned, there can
be no doubt that they know basically
as much as we do about nuclear and
thermonuclear weapons. So 1t Is absurd,
In such circumstances, for us to continue
laboring under self-made restrictions
that have the effect of working against
both our own and interallied security.
In short. our atomic law today is a
law that hobbies US. It does so, for ex-
ample, by preventing us from working
with the British in a manner that could
hardly fail to strengthen our two coun-
tries and the West as whole. Clearly,
as the President declared in his state
of-the-Union message, this Is short
sighted in the extreme, and 1t does vio-
lence to common sense because 1t obliges
us to impose upon ourselves handouts
that keep US from engaging in the kind
of interallied cooperation that is sorely
needed for interallied Safety-co-opera-
ton in the form Of exchanging scien-
tifc information, sharing nuclear mate
rails, making available component parts
of A-weapons. and otherwise promoting
mutual defense.
Liberalizing legislation along this
line is now being considered by sub
committee of the joint congressional
atomic committee, and action on the
matter ought to be favorable and
prompt. No basic secrets" are at stake.
We know nothing of essential impor-
lance that the Russians do not know.
Accordingly, because 1t will be helpful
to our own security as well as to the
security of our friends and allies, the
Senate and House should lose no time
in amending the present law as proposed
by the administration.

No Mallory Angle

A committee of the District Bar AS
sociation-the Committee on Criminal
Rules and Procedure-has submitted a
report which boils down to q protest
against the way In which criminal sus-
poets are arraigned in Washington. Pre-
sumably the Bar Association will act on
this report at its next meeting.
1t should be emphasized, however,
that this committee report is not directly
concerned with the question presented
in the Mallory case. In that case the
Supreme Court reversed a rape convic-
ton because. In the courts view, the
guilty man was not arraigned (taken
before a magistrate and chargedl soon
enough after his arrest. The effect Of
the ruling was to invalidate Mallory's
confession and require his release.
The burden Of the Bar Association
committees complaint is concerned, not
with procedures followed before arraign-
ment. but with what happens after a
suspect has been arraigned. In effect,
the report contends that even in cases
where criminal suspect Is arraigned
promptly after his arrest, he is not get
ting the protection and the help to
which he is entitled under the law.
1t remains to be seen what action
the Bar Association will take concern
ing this report. But the recommended
tons in the report-recommendations
calling for greater safeguards for sus-
pected criminals-Should not be con-
fused with the issue involved in bills
which have been offered In Congress to
change the law as result of the Mallory
decision.
AS it.stands now, the law requires
that a criminal suspect be arraigned
without unnecessary delay" Under a
series Of court decisions this, for prac-
teal purposes as far as the police are
concerned, has come to mean no delay.
In other words, once suspect has been
arrested, he must be arraigned by the
police without further questioning and
without further investigation. II this
procedure Is not followed the prosecutor.
at the trial, cannot use a confession
no matter how voluntary 1t may have
been-or any other evidence obtained
as a result Of questioning after arrest
and before arraignment. We think that
this unduly favors the criminal at the
expense Of the public. And this Is why
we support legislation which would pro-
vide that voluntary confessions should
not be barred from a trial merely be-
cause and only because there has been
q delay In arraignment.

Now that he is about to end his
tour of duty as free Germany's first
postwar Ambassador to the United
take proper pride-ard so has Bonn
in the work he has done here to restore
friendly relations between his country
and ours. He began this challenging
task in June, 1850, when he arrived In
New York with the title of Consul Gen.
eral. A year later he came to Washing
ton as Charge d'Affaires, and on May 6,
1855, he presented his full ambassadorial
credentials to President Eisenhower. He
has been a quietly effective envoy
through all the years of his presence
among us, the more so because he has
travelled extensively from coast to
coast, keeping In close touch with the
American people.
Like the Adenauer government
itself, Ambassador Krekeler is a strong
advocate of free Europe's indignation
through the closest possible form Of
political, economic and military cooper
ation-all Of 1t in intimate association
with the United States. This view he
will take with him when he leaves us,
within the next week or so, to assume
his important new duties as a member
of the six-nation European Atomic
Energy Community (Euratom). He will
bring TO that post not merely his diplo-
matte skill, but also wealth Of expe-
rience in technical fields, especially
chemical engineering. AS for Washing
ton, he can say auf Wiedersehen with
the satisfaction Of knowing that he has
been a highly respected envoy who has
set q fine example for his yet-to-be-
named successor. a

Mr.. Murphy's Fast Boil

H. Gabriel Murphy has thrown a
fast, hard-to-handle curve ball to
Calvin Griffith. president of the Wash
ington Baseball Club. 1t is a pitch that
cannot easily be ducked. How Mr..
Griff1th and his associates finally handle
1t will affect the future of the local
team-a team which right now Is at
diStreSSingly low ebb.
Mr.. Murphy, an insurance man with
title to 40 per cent OF the clubs stock
and with hopes Of restoring the Sem
ators to a position of respect in the
American League, is determined to gain
control of the club. He has evidenced
that determination by hurting at the
Griffith clan sizzling, eye-popping offer
of $605 share for the 2,274 shares Of
stock in the estate of the late Mrs. Clark
Griffith. This unheard-of price is more
than seven times the share price Mr..
Murphy paid in 1850 for his big block
Of stock. And it is four times the high
est price reported in recent times ($l50
q share).
The dilemma which this sudden
offer presents to Mr.. Griffith is two
pronged. AS executor of Mrs. Griff1th's
estate, Calvin has an obligation to take
such action as may be in the best inter-
ests of the estate and its beneficiaries-
of which he is one. And the juicy offer
of $605 share certainly is tempting
one from the estates standpoint. But
young Mr.. Griffith as head Of the ball
club, also has an obligation to protect
the best interests of the Washington
team. He has made 1t plain, in his
feuding with Mr.. Murphy, that he would
not consider control Of the club by Mr..
Murphy as advantageous TO the club
although opinions differ on this point.
His immediate reaction TO the offer was
to reject 1t summarily
All of this presumably will be
threshed out at meeting Of the club
stockholders tomorrow. The public will
not be in on that conference. But the
public at large--the faithful fans who
have stuck by the team despite its poor
showing In recent years-deserves to
have its interests protected, too. II will
want assurance from whoever controls
the club in the futurSthat u) the Sem

Cold Wave in Iceland

Iceland's Communists and fellow
travellers met a cold reception at the
polls this week. In countrywide mu-
nicipal elections, the FIRST since 1854,
the Peoples Alliance Party (Communist)
lost 20 per cent Of their recorded follow
ing Of four years ago, while the Social
Democrats, generally Identified as
left-wing party, dropped about 80 per
cent of their earlier strength. At the
same time. the Independence Party
rolled up nearly So per cent OF the total
vote-including SIT per cent in the cap
ital city of Reykjavik.
Ordinarily. the makeup OF municipal
governments in Iceland might seem OF
small significance to the outside world.
In this case, however, there Is reason TO
interpret the results as heartening to
the free world in general and to the
United States in particular. For in par
liamentary elections Of 1856 1t was the
Communist and the Social Democratic
Parties, along with the Progressive
Party, that won enough seats TO form a
coalition ousting the Independents from
government control. On the strength
OF this victory, the coalition talked
about taking Iceland out Of NATO and
forcing American defense troops out OF
the country. Fortunately, neither OF
those developments has come to pass.
but the threat undoubtedly would have
been revived II the left-wing groups had
mustered strong support in the off-year
voting. They did not get the support,
however, and for this reason the po-
litical signs In Iceland are good.
