Is it asking too much that they
first ascertain all the facts before
they launch savage attacks on any
public figure, let alone a man of
Murrow's character?
The wisecracls about how well
Murrow had served the nation I'M
til he went on the federal payroll
were not terribly amusing. Nor did
the American Civil Liberties Union
demonstrate its usual restraint and
mature judgment by plunging into
the dispute barely "A hours after
the first stories appeared
After all the Page One headlines
1t now turns out that 1t was not
Murrow's idea to call BBC, but
that the idea originated among
some bureaucrats In the State
Dept And there also apparently
was some pressure from The White
House. Jack Gould Of The New
York Times reports, belatedly, that
Murrow may have been the obedi-
emit soldier in the ranks"
Murrow himself is not without
responsibility for bringing down
the wrath Of the self-righteous.
But when his action IL analysed
what really develops Is merely that
he was nervous, as anyone I'M
