THE Supreme Court recently voted,
to a, that two laws which give the
government authority to curb the COM
munists III this country are constitu-
tional Many had feared that the high
est court would side with the commun-
list party and while it almost did,
by the narrow version of "a, the court
upheld the two laws.
One of the laws involved is a section
of the Internal Security Act which re-
quires "communist-action" organiza-
lions to register with the government.
Another upheld was section of the
Smith Act of 1910 which makes it
crime to be member Of party which
advocates the violent overthrow of the
government.
Voting against upholding these laws
were Chief Justice Earl Warren and
Justice Hugo Black, William Douglas

German Example

WEST Germany recently took action
" to eliminate unemployment taxes. In
short, the government moved to can
eel out taxes which have been collected
on peoples salaries - taxes which went
to provide funds for the unemployed
In the United States we have similar
taxes, levied against employers and en-
p1oyes, and supplemented by the gov
eminent it some cases, which are sup
posed to take care of unemployed per-
sons The system varies from state to
state.
The United States is the richest coun-
try in the world and yet we have four
or five million unemployed people, and
have had them for several years now.
The money we hand out to these people
runs into large figures and means more
taxes must be diverted to this end
But in Germany = country which
was utterly devasted just few years
back = there is such prosperity and so
little unemployment that the fund for
this purpose has grown so large there
Is no longer need for taxes to add to
it,
What a marvellous record of achieve
ment for the anti-communist and dem
ocratic government of West Germany!
The record of progress made by West
Germany as democracy, as compared
to that of East Germany, communist
country, is the worlds best example of
the comparative merits of the two sys-
TENS.
But we in the United States, the rich
est of all countries, should take lesson
from the accomplishment also. The

Tougher POLICING Needed
~ SYLVIA PORTER

There's an urgent need for
more stringent policing of the
Nations stock markets and for
Tightening of the rules govern
ing buying and selling of Sc
curities before Congress enacts
new laws to deal directly with
the problems.
Any serious trouble in Wall
Street will hurt millions of in
nocents on the Main Streets
OF towns the country over.
It is estimated that a record
Is million Americans own
stocks today but that's only
the beginning of the tale. An
other 13 million are what the
New York Stock Exchanges
president Keith Funston, calls
ION the threshold" of invest
ing nearly twice as many more
are in the interested" stage.
Stock Owning Mounts
1t is estimated also that IA
per cent of Americas families
now own stocks against less
than 8 per cent in 1852 and
this too is only the beginning
of the tale. A Michigan Re-
search Center survey indicates
that in the last couple of years,
purchases have been most not
able among the lower income
groups-familieS least able to
afford losing their nesteggs.
There is undeniable evidence
Of reckless gambling recently
by the gullible in unknown new
stock issues and many who
have been buying risky issues
at inflated prices from the in
siders are sure to lose their
shirts. Again this is only the
beginning of the tale. A sound,
thriving market for new stocks
is imperative if our corpora
tionS are to raise through stock
issues some of the billions they
must have to expand during
this decade. A healthy new
issue market is essential if the
supply of good new stocks is
to be sufficient to meet the
growing demand over the years
ahead and thus keep the level
of prices reasonable.
Next Tuesday, a House sub
committee will open hearings
on legislation which would
launch the first broad inquiry
into the stock markets in a
generation.
The testimony will be on a
resolution to grant the Securi-
ties & Exchange Commission
$750,000 to carry on the inquiry
and if what I know is any
criterion, Congress is going to
hear plenty to justify authoriz-
ing the study. But the probes
findings wouldn't be due until
January, 1963-which is long
way off. In the meantime. .
The SEC and other con-
cerned policing agencies should
really clamp down on the come

Begin on Bids
To Rule BIO
By the Associated Press

Walter J. TuOhy, president
of the Chesapeake & Ohio
Railway, told the Interstate
Commerce Commission today it
is entirely possible that the
East may some time have a
new giant rail combine includ-
ing the C61O, Baltimore g. Ohio
and New York Central systems.
But, he asserted, this will re-
quire "a reasonable time" to
evolve.
I'VE must STRESS" he said.
that it must be a voluntary
process to be successful. An
attempt to force such a merger
will surely kill it for all time. /"
Mr.. Tuohy was the lead-off
witness as the ICC opened pub
lie hearings on the rival bids
OF Coo and New York Central
to take over control of B65O
through stock exchange offers.
Central seeks either exclusive
control Of BIO or inclusion in
the transaction on a joint basis
with C&O.
Mr.. Tuohy, testifying in a
chamber packed with top
Eastern railroad executives.
said Central might well Join
with C&O-B&O at a later
date"
The hearing may run
through the next two weeks.
The contest for B6cO, a 133-
year-old railroad extending
from the Midwest to the At
lantic ocean, began in May,
1860. when Gao offered to ex-
change one share of its COM
mon stock for each 134 shares
OF B6SO common and one share
OF C6SO common for each share
OF B&O preferred.
Shortly afterward, New York
Central made a rival offer of
l12 share of Central's capital
stock plus So cash for each
share of BIO common. Gen.
trade made no offer on the Bro
preferred.
Today. C&O goes into the
hearing claiming it has formal
pledges for an exchange of
more than so per cent of B&O's
capital stock. Central has made
no recent statement on its ex-
change pledges.
