The Un-American Committee
Five leading U. &. scientific societies meeting in Atlantic
City this week havt adopted resolutions "deploring the actions
and procedures" of the congressional committee on un-American
activities, declaring them to be "inimical to the nation's
good
The scientists point out that the progress of science and its
application to the national welfare depends on effective use
of scientists, and that effective use of scientific manpower is
being hampered by activities of the notorious committee.
After the treatment of Dr. Condon was splashed all over
front pages everywhere, it became a known fact that topnotch
scientist are wary about accepting government positions, know
ing that, as guardians of the nation's welfare their loyalty and
integrity becomes vulnerable to probing by Mr. Thomas.
These resolutions bolster the attacks on the committee by
David E. Lilienthal, chairman of the Atomic Energy commission,
who has called a halt to the "bullying and baiting of scientists,
using star chamber proceedings and gestapo methods and fire
brand journalism."
And no wonder. Several authorities have blamed "gestapo
methods " for the failure of German scientists to produce atomic
bombs before America did. One member of the official U. S.
army scientific miuion to Germany writes, "The failure of
German nuclear physics can in large measure be attributed to
the totalitarian climate in which it lived."
It eems self-evident, then, that the un-American activities

politics keeps the fare there at
5c, with a resulting municipal
deficit of $50,000,000. The N. Y.
legislature gave the city authority
to raise its fares but Mayor
O'Dwyer blocks a raise and pro
poses to curtail other municipal
services instead. Poor business.
Home of great institutions of
learning (Harvard and MIT. of
Cambridge across the Charles
river), center of culture and long
patron of the arts, Boston has the
poorest newspapers of any large
"city in the country (omitting the
excellent Christian Science Moni
tor published here). They are
bulky and apparently prosperous,
but either banal or blank as far
as constructive journalism goes.
So many people here subscribe to
the New York Times or Herald-Tribune.

"T)iralin Omnibus
The house has 15 hours of general debate in which to un
clamp the ball-and-chain of aid-to-China now attached to
European recovery in the $6 2 billion omnibus foreign aid bill.
Aid to China in conjunction with aid to Europe is a political
maneuver designed to sink the democrats; instead, it could
become a depth bomb potent enough to submerge chances for
European recovery and founder American economy to boot. In
addition it would actually mean precious little help for China.
The United States simply cannot carry unlimited responsi
bility everywhere Every ill in the world cannot be salved with
dol.ar at the same time; there aren't that many dollars. First
things mut come first; Europe must come first.
It is true, of course, that all American efforts toward our
avowed policy of containing communism must be integrated.
Ii: that ense, the whole world wherever communists operate
ia our oyster But, as in a shooting war. the battles of the cold
war cannot be fought on all fronts with equal intensity and
full spted ahead.
The communist threat in China is important; it endangers
Japan and other American interests in the Pacific. But right
now Europe is more important because on European recovery
depends the saving of our own skins and, in part, world recovery.
Furthermore, there is a great chance that American aid to
Europe will mean the difference between recovery or chaos on
that continent, there is no guarantee and little chance that what
nu-ag i aid the omnibus delegates to China will be the deciding
factor -n China's sometimes lethargic battle against Russian
Hggression
A." )tt. no one has come up with any potentially successful
plan for China. The Marshall plan is a potentially successful
plan for Europe. The congress would make a perhaps fatal mis
take in impairing the Marshall plan's chance for success by
attaching any impediments like aid to China.
Equal jtizrnM.iip I .aw
The injustice of United States naturalization and immigra
tion laws which discriminate against persons of certain races
was brutally illustrated recently when the mother of Sadao
Munemon a Japanese-American soldier who won the congres
sional medal of honor fighting in Italy, was denied American
citizenship
H R 5004. a bill introduced by Walter H. Judd of Minne
sota, seeks to provide the privilege of becoming a naturalized
American citizen to all immigrants having, a legal right to
permanent residence In addition, this bill would place all Asiatic
and Pacific peoples on the same basis in immigration law as
Chinese and Indians.
There is no reason why this bill should not be made law,
nd every reason why it should.
There are persons who have lived in this country for most
of their lives and who can meet all the proper qualifications
for citizenship except one fos which they are not responsible
in the first place their racial background. Every qualified
person, regardless of accidents of birth, should be treated by
law on a basis of equality. America cannot hope to gain the
loyalty and friendship of Asiatic peoples like the Japanese
whom we are trying to teach democracy if America persists
in treating those peoples undemocratic-ally.
ThM bill does not change the quota law. It extends the quota
and i amplifies procedure for computing quotas.
Already the barriers against the Chinese, Filipinos and
Indian have been lowered. Eventually, legislation will be passed
to remove the stigma against other Asiatics. The Judd bill would
wipe the record clean in one sweep that would also tend to erase
the ill-feeling much of the world bears against the United States.
Yesterday the United States
backed out of its commitment for
partition of Palestine The under
standing is that support of par
tition originally was forced by
President Truman over the ad-
v ice oi ine siaie ana arienw ue-
partmenb Now he has yielded to i
counter-pressure and advice and ;
rever.-ed the order In view of
Arab resistance and the compli
cations of UN enforcement of
partition the retreat is probably
wise. But enforcement of non
partition will be almost equally
difficult The Palestine problem
is still unsolved and will help
mess up domestic politics.

not aut)ect to the say-so of any cabinet member and therefore de

Tn chart is marked "to accompany coenmittee report No. 3."
The reference is to the senate committee on expenditures in the

reduction ef 203 units since the end of 1M6.
But the committee adds that the reduction "doe not reflect an
actual reduction in organization or work toed, since it la largely
accounted for by the elimination of minor units formerly shown. The
heterogeneity of component, complained of in previous reports, still
exists At the present time there are 352 principal components of

Vote on Proposed
Livestock District
A separate ballot allowing votes
on the formation of a proposed
livestock district in the B rein ten
bush precinct will be added to
that precinct's regular election
ballot at the May 21 primary
election, Marion County Clerk
Harlan Judd said.
A petition from residents with
in the proposed district presented
to the Marion county court last
October caused the special elec

Purpose of forming the district
is to prohibit livestock from run
ning at large within its boundar
ies. The proposed district is about
12 miles long and three miles wide
with the city of Detroit centered

Gty to Demand
Rat-Proofing
Of Buildings
Inspection of commercial build

bring requests for action to rat
proof them from the city's rodent
control officer. L. M. Cheney. It
was decided Monday night at a
meeting of the rat control com
mittee in Salem Chamber of Com

cited to court if necessary to bring
results.
It also was decided to renew
extensive baiting of the Mill creek,
riverfront and city dump areas as
soon as the weather improves.
Cheney reported that about 1,000 I
pounds of rat bait has been dis
tributed here and the free bait re
