Voice Of America Believed Neglecting
Propaganda Opportunity Against Reds

Timidity due to fear Of Of
tending our international
Communist enemies appears
to mark at least some policies
of the State Department.
controlled United States In
formation Agency. There has
been criticism in other Gov
eminent departments that
the Voice Of America has not
taken full propaganda adj
vantage of the Tibetans' be-
ing ruthlessly trampled by
their Chinese conquerors as
the Hungarians were by the
Soviet Asian divisions.
The tragedy Of the Tibet
ans has affected many people
in the West who previously
had only the vaguest idea
that such a country and Its
cooking, the Dalai Lama.
existed. There is no doubt
that relatively few average
Americans knew that the
Dalai Lama is regarded by
tens of millions Of Buddhists
as the reincarnation of Bud
dha on this earth.
Particularly in Asia. the
action Of the Peiping govern
ment created a sensation.
Even the placid Indian people
who have been trained in
passive resistance" were
aroused by the fact that the
Dalai Lama, hunted by the
Communist military forces,
was compelled to flee his
realm and seek refuge
abroad.
The USIA has very power
full broadcaSting stations at
Okinawa and in the Philip
pines. But it appears from
available information that
the Voice of America did not
see eye to eye with other
agencies engaged in psyche
logical warfare. Instead OF
making hay out of the latest
Communist blunder and
beating the propaganda
drums, the Voice played it
straight" That is to say it
reported the news once or
twice q day as 1t came from
the various official sources
and put it on the air in q
number Of foreign languages,
including all the Indian dia-
lectS. It did not, however,
interpret" them. CThe word
interpret" in psychological
warfare language means to
inject propaganda into the
handling of the news.)
According to some Govern
ment sources. there was no
better opportunity to spread
fruitful Interpretation among
the .Asians than the tragedy
of the cooking of Tibet. At
no time since the Communists
under Mao Tse-tung took
over the Chinese mainland
has there been greater indig-
nation against their ruthless
behavior than in the last few
weeks.
The unprovoked action of
the Communist rulers in
Tibet stirred the indigna-
ton of all AsianS-including
those who do not belong to
the Buddhist faith. A vigor-
Gus propaganda campaign
could have caused a general
rebellion against the Peiping
government in all the areas
under its immediate or re-

or by any State on account
Of sex"
Many Of US true liberals
or "progressives." as we we're
known in those days--had
not thought an amendment
was necessary. because the
Fourteenth Amendment had
already forbidden the States
to deny the equal protec-
ton Of the laws" and had
said the privileges or inn
munities Of citizens Of the
United States" cannot be
abridged by any State. Ger
tainly women were entitled
to be classified as citizens.
But, since neither voting
nor sex nor color nor educa-
ton was mentioned in the
Fourteenth Amendment, the
Supreme Court Of the United
States by its decisions indi-
Gated that these subjects
would have to be treated sep
arately in other amendments.
In fact, the Fifteenth Amend
ment-which declares that
voting rights shall not be
denied or abridged on account
of race or color-was adopted
a year later than the Four
tenth because it was desired
by Congress to make clear
that voting rights. usually
prescribed by the States,
should not be abridged be-
cause Of race or color.
So. inasmuch as there was
no tendency liz those days TO
rely on the Supreme Court
to amend the Constitution to
give women the equal pro-
lection of the laws" in re-
spect to voting rights, even
though they are citizens.
many of us enthusiastically
supported the adoption OF

lawyer. But the Constitution
is everybody's business. In
this field perhaps any lay
man cat can look at the most
learned legal king. A layman
therefore can confidently pre-
dict the following practical
results Of the Supreme Courts
action:
Federal prosecutors will be
more and more able to over
run the verdicts of State jul
ries in civil rights cases. Let
Alabama, say, acquit an &C
cused person. The Federal
Government may step in and
have another go at him.
It might well be that in
individual cases this would
best serve immediate and
obvious justice. But it is at
least conceivable that some
times the verdict of the Ala
bama jury will be a just YER
dict.
Many. however, will APP
plaud this opportunity for
dual prosecution, and par
ticularly many prolabor lib
erals who believe with some
justification that much Of the
South intends to nullify Fed
eral civil rights sanctions.
But they may find that this
blade has two edges. For If
the Federal Government can
intervene above State juries
in Alabama, any State gov
eminent can go over the Fed
eral Governments head in a
labor case.
It is well known that the
South is less than anxious
generally to find that criminal
acts have been committed in
civil rights. But it is no less

that a Federal court may
acquit an accused labor rack

have q State court then move
in and convict him.

lier life, he had long expe-
rience in watching criminal
justice down where it works
with and against individual
people.
This was in the police
courts, the criminal courts,
and all those quasilegal ma
chimes, like congressional
committees, which can be ar
rayed in all their terrible
power against individual man.
This is the totally nonlegal
but at least long -considered
conclusion from that expert
ence: What are called the
laws loopholes" are really
and usually the perfectly
proper constitutional protec-
lions of a defendant. Far
from being too numerous,
these "loopholes" already are
far too few. This slogan about
"loopholes" is mostly used by
good and learned people who
nevertheless have not been

The JAR and Iraq are the

that idea lost impetus when
Iraq refused to send a delega-

stayed away.
Friction was reflected in
other developments of the day:

tan reports that three Soviet
ships-one carrying 855 fully
armed Kurds and the other two
loaded with military equipment
had passed through the SueZ
Canal since Sunday bound for
Iraq's big Persian Gulf port of

2. The JAR press and radio,
which have reported fighting in
Northern Iraq almost daily
since the Mosul rebellion a
month ago, said yesterday that
rebels have seized part of K!r-

dispatches, vaguely quoting
refugees froms Iraq, lack indie
pendent confirmation. They
were not taken seriously even
in Cairo as yet.

win be necessary to seek a
new amendment that viii
forbid the exclusion Of any
female citizen from such
schools.
It is, to be sure. the prin-
ciple Of the thing which Is
bothersome. Many women
prefer to 60 to separate
schools--in fact, some believe
their opportunities for an ed
ucation are much better when
what they consider the lower
intelligence quotient Of the
male sex is not present In
the classroom. But even those
women who may feel that
way about their superiority
will not relish any court rul-
ing which says. in effect. that
they can be barred by law
from associating in the
schoolroom with members Oh
the opposite sex. They have
never believed that any phys
ical characteristic shou ! q
diminish their rights as citi-
zens.
There may be some men,
too. who will object to the
discrimination and VINO
would prefer desegregation OF
the sexes. But the Supreme
Court has spoken, and its de-
cisions and rulings must be
obeyed, for they are "the law
of the land" These are days,
moreover, when the Supreme
Court as an institution must
not be undermined" Indeed,
there have recently been out
cries that the rulings OF the
highest court must not even
be subjected to severe criti-
cism.
So the alternative is to
abide by the ruling and try
for a constitutional amend
ment which win give women
the equality they had long
thought they already pos
sessed as citizens. But they
must be careful not to agi-
tate too vigorously. lest they
be charged with massive re-
sistance."

Segregation Of men or
women in schools controlled
by State authority has Just
been upheld. in effect. BY the
Supreme Court Of the United
States. Two white women
were denied enrolment in an
all-male State college In
Texas.
This ruling would not have
occasioned any surprise five
years ago. because the States
previously were allowed to
use their own discretion in
deciding what pupils should
be admitted to public educa-
tional institutions.
But, in view Of the fact that
the Supreme Court in 1854
said that discrimination on
account Of race or color could
produce a feeling Of "inferi-
ority" and that mixed classes
are beneficial from an edu-
cationAl standpoint, the query
now is whether women have
MT Just as much right to use
that argument with respect
to discrimination against
them because of sex. In fact.
in appealing the current case
to the Supreme Court, the
two women cited the 1854 de-
cision and argued that a
woman is a person" just as
much as is a Negro. They
pointed out that the Four
teenth Amendment says "all
persons born or naturalized

The power Of the prosecu-
ton to take away a mans
liberty may be intellectually
broadened, now or in some
forseeable tomorrow.
This seems inescapably to
be the human meaning OF
the Supreme Courts recent
6-to-3 decision that the State
and Federal courts may try
the same man for the same
offense. Deeply sophisticated
legal questions, it is true. are
bound up in the ruling. And
1t is not wholly new, though
the precedents seem to mex
pert eyes to be surely a bit
thin and complicated.
Most people had thought
that If the Bill of Rights
guaranteed anything, it guar
anteed that, generally speak
ing anyhow, a person could
not twice be put in jeopardy
for one crime. The court has
said, much more explicitly
than ever before and over a
much larger area Of human
affairs, that this is not nee
essarily so.
Even the top prosecutor OF
them all, Attorney General
William P. Rogers, obviously
thinks a new situation has
been created. With highly
decent instinct, he has
warned the various Federal
district attorneys they must
not suppose they can run
of now and. have a field day.
He will not permit the Fed
eral Government to go into
court against a man already
acquitted in a State court, he
says, unless the reasons are
compelling" What is com
pelling"? This Mr.. Rogers
must decide, case by case.
