Montgomery Federation Supports
Ober Subversive Activities Law

The Montgomery County
Federation last night adopted a
resolution-first introduced in
November - in support of the
Ober law, Marylands subver-
sive activities law.
In another resolution, the
federation asked the Maryland
General Assembly not to 60 on
record "at this time" in favor of
a dam on the Potomac at River
Bend.
The Ober law resolution was
introduced November 10 by
Richard H. Clark, a delegate
from Kensington, after the
teachers of Maryland had
stated their opposition to 10y
atty oaths in general. The Ober
law requires loyalty oaths of
State employees.
The teachers decided not to
specifically oppose the law, Mr..
Clark said, but he felt their
vote was close enough to in
dictate some sentiment for re-
peal.
Mr.. Clark's resolution to

thing when they ask for a copy
of the official version.
But the Army Band has been
most concerned with preparing
an ennobling rendition which
would reflect and enhance the
majesty and dignity both of the
anthem and the Nation.
Now it thinks it has succeed
ed by following the melody
lines developed through his
torical research by the late
Richard S. Hill of the Library
of Congress.
This basic melody, which Mr..
Broyhill's bill would make
standard along with all of the
lyrics first drafted by Mr.. Key,
retains the high passages which
are so beyond the reach of the
average singer that most
Americans must be content
merely to humble them. But
it doesn't soft-pedal them as
bands frequently do.
Not Panty-Waist
when Francis Scott Key
wrote, The rockets red glare,

life and there was nothing

Despite appeals by President
Eisenhower, eminent music
critics and historians, Congress
hasn't been able to agree in the
past.

Rockville Funds
In Good Shape:
3 Given Jobs

Rockville's city financial
status was reported in good
snaps last night, so the city
council voted to hire three
more employees.
City Manager Walter Schei-
Der reported that no funds will
be necessary in addition to the
$3.6 million appropriated for
the fiscal year, ending June 30.
The council then voted to
hire two new fuil-time city en-
ployes and one on a part-time
basis. One of the full-time
workers will fill a newly created
post as manager of the Rock
vile Civic Center.

Such questions have arisen

ago it was reported that there

One result has been that

back again. 1t has been done
by previous administrations,
too. This doesn't Justify it,
but it does make ironical
some Of the professions of
virtue which come out of the
administrations lectures on
the high ideals of modern
government, especially on
campaign contributions.
To date, Billie Sol Estes
himself has only been in
dicted on charges involving
fraud and conspiracy. The
trial has only just started.
He has not yet been declared
guilty or not guilty. Those
who have had any contacts
with him, however, now are
held in suspicion. Even a list
of telephone numbers of
Government officials that he
or his associates called over
the years is publicized with
the inference that maybe
something wrong occurred
during conversations which,
one would suppose. are pro-
tected by the right of privacy.
Likewise, in the stockpiling
investigation names are men
toned frequently and trans
actions are revealed which,
in themselves, may have been
the legitimate exercise of
their best judgment by Gov
eminent officials.
President Kennedy started
much of this by issuing a
prepared statement in one
of his news conferences i'm
plying that excessive and
unconscionable profits" had
been involved in purchases
of strategic materials during
previous administrations. For
mer President Eisenhower
later took exception to the
published differences of lack
of integrity on the part of
his associates in the cabinet
and in other posts during
his administration. So Gen.

Too Much Political MudsIinqinq

Eisenhower. naturally resent
full, came out with an attack
on the Kennedy administra-
ton as having created an
other mess in Washington"
Immediately afterward q
speech was made in Congress
attacking the former Presi-
dent with innuendoes about
conflict of interest" and
"stockpile subsidies to his
business cronies," and de-
ploring the fact that a man
who. while serving his coun-
try as a soldier and had his
medical bills paid by the
Government should oppose
proposals for Government aid
to elderly persons for medical
care, whether or rot they
can afford to pay for it them
selves. Nobody rose to point
out that Dwight Eisenhower,
in the years he gave to mill
tary service could have
earned in private enterprise
many times his pay as a
soldier or as even President.
He is still a veteran, and few
will dispute the right of men
in the armed forces to re-
ceive medical care.
But the mudslinging goes
back and forth. Character is
asSailed. Motives are i'm
pugned. Suspicion takes the
place Of proof. Guilt by asso-
citation is substituted for or
derby trial and procedure.
This is the product Of a low
state of morality inside Gov
eminent. 1t is still a mystery
why there isn't a widespread
protest against such injus-
ticeS.
In Great Britain and Cam
ada, under the parliamentary
system. they conduct legisla-
tive inquiries. but they d. so
judiciouSly. They make their
reports public after they have
gathered all the evidence and
formed a judgment thereon.
Maybe in America we will
someday get sophisticated"
on this subject, too.

Liberals Criticized as Failing to Defend
Targets of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

There's a good deal of mud
singing going on here.
Scarcely a day goes by that
someone's character or in
tegrity isn't being impugned
in speeches or in committee
hearings in Congress. Wheth-
er it's an implication about
the Billie Sol Estes case or
an innuendo about profit
"windfalls" in the stockpil-
ing controversy. there seems
to be no restraint or forbear-
ance.
Most disappointing of all
is the strange silence of the
so-called liberals" Time
was. during the days of the
late Senator Joe Mccarthy,
when the air was full of out
cries from them about the
unfairneSS of the attacks and
especially as to inSinuations
or innuendoes about loyalty.
The phrase guilt by aSsocia-
ton" was heard repeatedly,
and even the Supreme Court
Of the United States got into
the act and denounced the
spreading Of differences and
assumptions and suspicious
as not being the way to deal
with questions of personal in
tegrity.
But it should perhaps be
remembered that the persons
against whom charges were
being made then were alleg-
edly Communists or Commu-
nist-sympathizers or fellow
travellers or persons deceived
by Communist doctrines.
Maybe If all the men en-
tangled with Billie Sol Estes
whether misguided friends
or innocent dupeS-had been
tied up in some way with the
Communist cause, they might
be Stanchly defended today
as victims of indictment by
suspicion and guilt by asso-
citation"
But, unfortunately for
them. almost all the persons
mentioned in the Billie Sol
Estes case, including Govern
ment officials, are just men,
bers of a political system
which hasn't yet been dis
carded even in high places.
Thus. the political world
accepts as commonplace the
beStowing of faV, rS by
Government officials and by
members of Congress upon
those who have helped fl
nance their political cam
paigns or who happen to be
friends of other highly placed
persons in the Government
or Congress. 1t is done every

gion" in violation Of the Con-
stitution.
And I do not believe the
State of New York has done
so in this case.
What each has done has been
to recognize and to follow the
deeply entrenched and highly
cherished spiritual traditions of
our Nation-traditions which
come down to us from those
who almost 200 years ago
avowed their firm reliance on
the protection of Divine Provi-
dence" when they proclaimed
the freedom and independence
of this brave New World.

purposes Of the establishment
clause and with the establish
ment clause itself. 80.
It is true that New York's
establishment of its Regents
Prayer as an officially ap-
proved religious doctrine of that
State does not amount to a
total establishment of one par
ticular religious sect to the ex-
clusion Of all others - that,
indeed, the governmental in
dorsement of that prayer seems
relatively insignificant when
compared to the governmental
Entertainments upon religion
which were commonplace 200
years ago.
To those who may subscribe
to the view that because the
regents official prayer is so
brief and general that can be
no danger to religious freedom
in its governmental establish
ment, however. it may be ap-
propriate to say in the words
of James Madison, the author
of the First Amendment:
1T is proper to take alarm
at the first experiment on our
liberties Who does not see
that the same authority which
can establish Christianity, in
exclusion Of all other religions,
may establish with the same
ease any particular sect of
Christians, in exclusion of all
other SectS? That the same
authority which can force a
citizen to contribute 3 pence
only of his property for the
support Of any one establish
ment, may force him to con-
form to any other establish
ment in all cases whatsoever"
Justices Frankfurter and
White took no part in the
decision.

Opposition Cited

It is an unfortunate fact OF
history that when some of the
very groups which had most
strenuously opposed the eStab-
lished Church of England found
themselves sufficiently in con-
troll of the Colonial govern
ments in this country to write
their own prayers into law,
they passed laws making their
own religion the official re-
lgion of their respective colo

Indeed, as late as the time
of the Revolutionary War, there
were established churches in at
least 8 of the IS former Colo
