2 The News-Review, Roseburo,, Ore. Wed., Aug. 9, 1950 Tighter Curb On Espionage Urged By President Truman In Message To Lawmakers WASHINGTON, P President Truman asked congress Tuesday for a tighter espionage law and i new law requiring deportable aliens to report where they are and what they are doing. Mr. Truman said additional anti-sabotage and security legislation is needed because Communist imperialism seeks to "weaken and over throw free nations by working within their borders." recommended that con So he gress: 1. Remedy "defects" in present laws governing "Espionage, the registration of foreign agents and the security of national defense installations." 2. Give the attorney general power to require deportable aliens to report "their whereabout and activities at regular intervals." In a message to the lawmakers. Mr. Truman asked them to be wary of any action limiting per sonal liberty. But he said the Bill of Rights is not intended "to pre vent the government from main taining our nation's integrity a gainst subversion or attack." Explaining why he thinks atiffer laws and a new law are needed now, the President said tl pre sent international situation has been created "by the rise of total itarianismfirst of the totalita , rianism of the right, and now that of the left." "Today, we face most acutely the threat of the Communist move ment, international in scope, dir ected from a central saurce, and committed to the overthrow of democratic institutions throughout the world " Mr. Truman's message ap peared to be an attempt to block any security bill bearing a Repub lican label and push through one with an administration tag. Several measures to combat Communism and subversive activ ities are pending in Congress. Those most widely known arc backed by Rpp. Nixon '"-Calif) and Senator Mundt (R-SD), NOBODY KNOWS I'M DEAF" HEARING can be Glamorous!

In 194 the OOP-controlled House passed their Mundt-Nixon bill but the Sen ate failed to go along. This bill required, among other things, that Communist and Communist fronts register with the Justice department. It looked for a while as though similar legislation would get no where in this congress. But the Korean war generated steam for some sort of legisla tion. Present Bills Critlcli.d Mr. Truman added a bit of pressure of his own. Rut it wasn't for the kind uf bills now before congress. "Legislation is now pending be fore the congress," he said, "which is so broad and vague in its terms as to endanger the freedoms of speech, press, and assembly Drotected by the first amendment. Some of the proposed measure would, in effect, impose severe penalties for normal polit ical activities on the part of cer tain groups, including Commun ists and Communist party-line followers. "This kind of legislation is un necessary, Ineffective, and dan gerous. "It is unnecessary because groups such as the Communists cannot accomplish their evil pur poses in this country through nor mal political activity. They will be repudiated by the people as they have always been. "It is ineffective because it does not get at the real dangers from the Communists in this country. These dangers come, not from normal political activity, but from espionage, sabotage, and the building up of an organization ded icated to the destruction of our government by violent means against all of which we already have laws." What Mr. Truman specifically recommended to strengthen the government's hand was that con gress: Remedy what he called defects in present laws by lengthening the present three-year limit in which peacetime espionage can be pro secuted. Require persons who have re ceived instruction from a foreign government or foreign political party, in espionage or subversive tactics, to register under the for eign agents act. tiive nroaaer auinoruy man now exists for the President to estab lish security regulations for pro tecting military bases and other national defense installations. Strikes Protest Bridge:' Jailing HONOLULU CP) A wave of quickie strikes protesting the jailing of Harry Bridges spread among Hawaii members of his CIO Longshore union today. There were unofficial rumblings at union headquarters here that the walkouts would continue a s long as Bridges remained behind bars. About 4.500 Bridges' union men have staged half-hour to 24-hour protest walkouts in the territory since Monday. The Australian- born longshore leader's bond was revoked and he was jailed in San Francisco Saturday as "an agent dedicated to X X X the Com munist program." He is appeal ing conviction of perjury; of hav ing lied when he denied he was a Communist to gain citizenship in 1945. Bridges' international longshore men's and warehousemen's union has about 25,000 members e m oyed in sugar, pineapple, long shore and miscellaneous indust ries in Hawaii. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 9 UP) It looks as if Harry Bridges will have to stay in jail until at least Friday. The U. S. circuit court of ap peals yesterday took under sub mission a plea by the CIO long shore leader that the order r e voking his bail was without legal precedent and the issuing court had no power in the matter. Government and defense attor neys were given until Friday to me oDjections. Henry Wallace Dropt Out Of Progressive Party NEW YORK UP) Henry Wallace resigned from the Pro gressive party last night because it condemns the American stand in Korea. The action completed a split that began three weeks ago between Wallace and the party that organ ized to run him for President in 1948. Three weeks ago, Wallace made oublic his own support for the U S and U.N. actions in Korea while the party's national committee issued a statement opposing the American action. Wallace said he did not condone the past actions of either Russia or the United States in Korea, but that since it had come to fighting he would stand with his country.
