Five Justices Decision Louded
In Freedom of Speech Case

laws. The witness could
merely claim that the con-
gressional committee was
"harassing" him for his criti-
cisms of the committee and
was trying to punish him for
his beliefs" Congressional
efforts to get inforrnation on
which to base regulatory laws
could thus be frustrated.
In the latest opinion,-the
case of Frank Wilkinson, who
refused to give even his place
of residence to the House
Committee on Un-American
Activities the majority of
the justices repeated a state
= ment from a previous deci-
sion which said: .
ITO suggest that because
the Communist Party may
also sponsor peaceable politi-
cal reforms the constitutional
issues before us should now
be judged as If that party
were just an ordinary politi-
cal party from the stand
point of national security, is
to ask this court to blind
itself to world affairs which
have determined the whole
course of our national policy
since the close Of World War
II"
What the majority of the
court says is supposed to be
the law Of the land" but
1t is being scorned-in the
companion case of Carl Bra
den-by Justice Black, with
Chief Justice Warren and
Justice Douglas agreeing. In
this dissenting opinion these
words Of defiance are issued:
THE founders of this Ma
ton were not then willing
to trust the definition Of
First Amendment freedoms
to Congress or this court, nor
am I now"
But to accept the idea that
Congress cannot investigate
or that the Supreme Court
cannot rule on the case Of q

helping q hostile government

say that he has made the
smallest contribution, to any
solution of African difficult
ties. He has only rubbed up
more i'll feeling between
white and black.
This sort of conduct in his
case was perhaps predictable.
For he is a special, and
happily rare, kind of profess
sional politician-an auto
matte reactor to pressure
group interests. Still, 1t is a
great disservice to his fellow
professional politicians with
in the administration. But
for him their side would
have, to this point, a perfect
score in responsible service.
1t is just such a perfect
score. however surprising this
may seem, that "the Wild
eyed professors" have thus
far run up. They have turned
out to be not wild-eyed after
all. Instead, they show as
quiet and competent and,
above all, responsible men
fully aware of the gravity
of the problems before this
country.
And they are-to this cor
respondent at any rate-un-
expectedly tolerant of dis
agreement from the non-
academic types around here.
Indeed, one begins to
suspect that though they
were brought here primarily
as Idea men" their ideas do
not stop with glittering
visions. They are actually
pretty practical fellows, not
given to the either-or ap-
proach. And though mostly
political liberals, they are,
in my Judgment, true liberals
not so doctrinaire by half
as one might have feared.

DAVID LAWRENCE

It seems incredible that,
with Q cold war" going on
and with billions of dollars
being spent by the Soviet
government to infiltrate
every democratic country in
the world. there should be
issued by four members of
the Supreme Court Of the
United StateS-Chief Justice
Warren, Justices Black.
Douglas and Brennan-an
opinion which appears to-
brush aside the Communist
menace.
Fortunately, five other
members of the court-Jus-
ticeS Stewart, Clark, Frank
furter, Harlan and Whitta-
ker-see the Communist
menace in its realistic form.
BY their latest decision, they
make it clear that the empty
claim to protection Of free
speech" will not save suspect
ed Communists in the United
States from investigation by
an authorized congressional
committee.
The four dissenting justices
insist that witnesses. when
asked by a congressional
committee whether they are
Communists, need not even
take the Fifth Amendment
but can refuse to answer on
the ground that their rights
Of free speech under the First
Amendment are being trans
gressed.
The argument solemnly
proclaimed by the four dis
senting justices is that no
agency Of the Federal Gov
ernment, be it legislative,
executive or judicial, may
"harass or punish people for
their beliefs. or for their
speech about. or public criti-
cism Of, laws and public Of
ficialS."
This doctrine would make
1t possible for any citizen to
decline to tell an investigat-
ing committee about rackets,
monopolies, payola, or any
Irregularities in human be-
havior on which 1t might be
desirable to pass remedial

sanitary precautions.
It Is standard practice to
start seeds in cigar boxes,
cheese boxes, and similar con-
tainers.. but today there are
several containers which are
not only more convenient but
help the gardener to do q bet
ter job. Some come with the
sterile growing media, seeds,
and cover all ready for the
water. They work. Unfortu-
nately not all kinds or varieties
are there to choose from. So
II that is, your problem. look q
bit further. The chances are
that you will find peat pots
neatly packaged ready to, 60
into the container4 Of your
choice. These neat little plas.
tic containers are patterned to
fit the window sill, or other
space normally used for such
Jobs.
And. the plastic containers do
not drip water onto the window
stll. table top or wherever 1t
Is that you want to place them.
However. they do offer one
problem, the danger Of over.
watering. Since they do not
have drainage holes in the bot
tom to let the excess water
escape the gardener must use
care to avoid overwatering.
The newest gadget has o
shallow tray in which to put
the water and 50 there Is less
likelihood of overwatering.
However, the exposed sides may
be too dry for roots to pene-
trate except ct the lower level.
Thus 1t is fine for the earlier
stages; but 1t may be desirable
during the latter stages Of
growth to put the pots in O
deeper container, where they are
fully covered by soil or peat.
Even though we have peat
pots and handy containers we

DO not let the snow-covered
ground confuse you. It is seed
starting time.
The cool weather crops
should 60 into the ground out
of.doors shortly after the mid
die Of March; the warm
weather things should be set
out In late April to early May.
Most Of the things we set
out In our gardens take from
six to eight weeks to reach
tranSplanting size. A few,
such as the petunias that we
all like. peppers, and eggplant
are slower growers and take
from 10 to u weeks to be big
enough for planting IN the
garden. It Is seed planting
time.
The main problem in grow
ing seedlings indoors without
the convenience Of O green
house or conservatory is the
lack of humidity. Some place
or some device Is needed which
viii keep the seedlings from
drying out and the atmosphere
humid enough for growth
after the, sprouts do, get UP.
There are q number Of devices
now available to the gardener
which make the starting Of
seeds much easier than 1t was
Q few years ago.
In the first place we have
sterile media in which to put
the seeds and avoid the damp
ing-off =, disease which gen.
orally wipes out the major por-
ton Of the seedlings that are
being started In garden soil
indoors. Many prefer the
sphagnum moss but there are
materials which may be used
such as vermiculite, perlite and

SUMMER AND WATER

Again it's time to swim and sail and
enjoy the summer weather. And this sum-
mer thousands will be involved in boating
accidents, drownings and avoidable TRACE
dies.
Some who read this editorial will take
a foolish chance and might lose their lives
as a result. If you are not good swimm-
er or if you are out of shape, you should
be cautious about taking rides or going
fishing in crowded boats or in questionable
weather.
If you have just eaten big meal,
you should be able to restrain yourself
from the urge to swim, even if others do.
Water is deceptively dangerous for human
beings. 1t appears so harmless few of us
realize how quickly we can drown in it.
Panic in the water can cost you your
life in less than five minutes. Once you
begin to swallow water your intake of
oxygen is cut off and you black out almost
Immediately. If you are suddenly thrown
into the water, with heavy clothes and
shoes on, and you are not in the best
of physical condition, it takes only min
ute to lose control of the situation, and
pay the penalty of life itself!
The surprising thing to so many safety
experts is the number of non-swimmers
who take chances in boats, without life
preservers, and around water, including the
surf.
For 1861, keep safety and prudence il
mind as you go about your vacation. II
this editorial is remembered by just one
person, and if it induces him or her tc
avoid death this year, it will have served
a splendid purpose. Many others are Ger.
tain to die, unnecessarily.
