A Penitent PrizrWinner One by one. dedicated Communists re nounce their allegiance, frequently to be come Communism' severest critics. The 1937 purges chilled the ardor of many, and the al- . . liance with Hitler smashed the faith of oth ers. Still there remained a hard core of party followers who were convinced that Moscow and Stalin could do no wrong. One of the most loyal devotees of the Red party line was Howard Fast, a very able writ er, who in 1950 served three months in jail for contempt of a congressional investigating ' committee. Aa recently as 1953 Fast received the Stalin Peace prize and hailed it as "the highest honor that can be conferred on any person in these times." For Fast disillusion ment came with the publication of the speech of Nikita Khrushchev in denunciation of Sta lin. He now has published a devastating crit icism of Communist Russia and. wonder of . wonders! it was printed in the Daily Worker In New York City. Fast declared the speech "itemizes a record of barbarism and paranoiac blood lust that will be a lasting and shameful memory to civilized man." He voiced his reat disappointment in failing to find any pledge from the new rulers of Russia that "rule by summary execution had been unded: "Instead, I learned that three more execu tions had been announced from the Soviet Union, and my stomach turned over." He has rediscovered America "a land I love so deeply and which has given me so much." He had excused the injustice and ter ror in Russia "as a necessity of socialism." Now he solemnly declares: , This I can never accept again and never again can I accept aji a Just practice under socialism that which I know to be unjust." The lamp still holds out to burn for the return of the true penitent; but one wonders Just what mesmerism Communism has that an intellectual like Fast remained faithful to it for so long a time. If the Khrushchev speech is having this effect among confirmed Marx isti in this country and persuading even the Daily Worker to become critical of Moscow, what must be the consequence in other coun- , tries in France, in Italy, in the satellites, even in Russia itself? In breaking the Stalin Idol Khrushchev k Co. may have dynamited the very foundation of the Soviet monolith: Implicit faith in Communism and in Commu nist leadership. , feet where the constitutionality of a law is In question. It is true, the constitution gives Congress certain powers with respect to the appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, but this is a most unusual exercise of that power. Another bill, even more absurd, was intro duced by Congressman Huddleston of Alaba ma. It provides that no courts, both state or federal, "shall not be bound by any decision of the Supreme Court which conflicts with the legal principle of adhering to prior de cisions and which is clearly based upon con siderations other than legal." This is aimed directly at the decision on segregation which Southern lawyers call "sociology" jat her than constitutional law. The effect would be to create chaos in the administration of justice. It would be quite impossible to applv the con ditions laid down in this prohibition nd conflict and turmoil on what is the law would ensue. We are confident that none of these bills will pass. They rate more as protest than as threat. They are the peeves of those who lost their lawsuits. The Supreme Court has withstood a good many buffetings, including the drive of FDR to pack the court in his favor. It will survive the present attacks. It remains the final au thority on the law and the constitution, and fortunately has often proven a haven of ref uge when civil liberty is at stake. GRIN AND BEAR IT By Lichty QQP Strength !3222T.

The last time the Northwest was recognized in this fashion was when Sen. Frederick Steiwer was temporary chairman, in 1938. Remember the phrase he repeated so often: "Four long years." of the administration of FDR which were to be stretched to more than 12. "What I had in mind was avoiding the bitterness, the feeling of injustice, the resentment that's usually caused by starting at the bottom! . . Curbing the Supreme Court Members of Congress have been vexed be cause of several recent decisions of the U. S. Supreme Court In a Pennsylvania case the court held that Congress had assumed ex clusive jurisdiction in matters of national se curity, which nullified a Pennsylvania statute and reversed a conviction based 'thereon. This stirred up the McCarthyites. The de segregation decisions overrode all the laws and ordinances which Southern states and communities had enacted to keep whites and coloreds separate. The rulings ired Southern members of Congress. One upshot was a bill introduced by Sena tor McLellan of Arkansas which has won the approval of the Senate judiciary committee (Eastland of Mississippi is chairman). This bill attempta to forbid the Supreme Court to declare a state law unconstitutional, "where there are state and federal laws in the same . field, unless the set of Congress contains an express provision to that effect." . We do not see how this would have any ef- Probably the Democratic press agents are collecting a compendium of Charlie Wilson's verbal bloopers. The Secretary of Defense must feel by this time that politics is no place for a businessman. Editorial Comment LEAVE THE CAPITOL ALONE The recent appropriation ol $12 million by the House of Representatives, for a program of Itera tions to the east front of the Capitol at Washing ton, lacks the popular support that to radical a project requires. The plan, under consideration on and off ince 1905, involves moving the central eastern facade tome forty feet forward, the inten tion being to give the great dome of the Capitol a larger base and bring the center of the tnictur into harmony with its Senate and House wings. Advocates of the change argue, further, that it would provide sorely needed space for the conduct of Congressional business. Historically, it can be urged that there hav been change in plenty since Dr. William Thornton submitted his design in 1792, which won (he ap proval of Washington and Jefferson. Successive supervising architects, including the respected Benjamin Henry Latrobe, found fault with the original plan and introduced Ideas of their owr, some accepted and some rejected by Congress. The British gutted a much as had been finished in ISM. and a new building program was intrusted to Charles Bulinch, whose work on the Boston Stat House had won the admiration of President Monroe. Senate and House wings were added in the IBOs, as dwarfing the original dome that in 1863 it was rplaced by the present much larger one. In spite of thii up-and-down history, the com pleted building as it now stands on Capitol Hill has caught the imagination and holds the warm regard of the American people. It is doubtless fortunate that it had during its evolution the services of luch exceptional architects as Thorn ton, Latrobe and Bulfinch, whose work is especially well exemplified in the facade which it is now proposed to alter. In any event, the building car ries Impressive artistic credentials in its present form the American Institute of Architects, for example, has come ta it defense in formal resolu tions at a number of past conventions and cannot be summarily condemned on esthetic grounds. The practical argument for the alterations, to the effect that Congress needs more space, seems equally ill advised. If more space is needed, it can he had in another location: in fact, the current House appropriation includes 110 million as a start on a new SM million House office building. All in all, the east-front alteration project looks like a waste of money. It should he abandoned New York Herald Tribune.

The risk is always there, of course, because we are all mor tal. But it is irresponsible to pretend that the risk is not especially great in the Presi dent's case. Perhaps the risk is worth taking. You and I have been critical of Ihe Eisenhower administra tion, particularly in Ihe defense field 'and you should read the testimony before the Symington committee we owe an apology to our readers for having been blithering optimists'. But it is true, as you wrote al the time of the President's heart attack, that "Dwight D. Eisenhower's greatest single contribution ha been bringing us all back to a ense of true American style." Very great risks may be worth taking, la order ta eaatlaue that contribution. A raadldate far the Presidency need aat necessarily he "aa acceptable risk for life Insurance."
