American citizens will learn. as the argument develops, that the United States long has had a tighter grip on their foreign travel than Is imposed, for example, by Canada. France or Britain. A footnote to that fact, however. s that all French and British se curity precautions against subver sion are notably weaker than it tie United States. Canadian se curity is rated good Americans also will learn that Franklin D. Roosevelt is vigorous ly on record in this dispute. FDR lined up with those who would deny U.S. passports to unreliable citizens. He issued an executive order in the peacetime year of 1938 expressly authorizing the sec retary of state "in his discretion to refuse to issue a passport." Truman On Record Former President Truman is similarly on record and his secre tary of state. Dean Acheson. made the stringent regulations effective through the passport division which was headed by the efficient and strong willed luth B.

S passport to any individual who, on the balance of evidence, mav , I reasonably be judged to intend Knowingly to advance the cause of communism. the secretary of state for 50 years, perhaps always, has exer cised discretion in the issue of passports. However, before World War 1 it was not necessary to have a passport To travel overseas. Now it is. Under the regulations inherited by Miss Knight from the nooscveit and Iranian administra tions and as the Eisenhower ad ministration wants them enforced, Miss Knight will keep American Communists and their active sympathizers at home, so far as the courts will permit. Avoids Legal Showdown The Eisenhower administration avoided a legal showdown on the issue of a passport for Dr. Otto Nathan, a German born professor at New York University and ex ecutor of the late Albert Ein stein's estate. U. S. District Judge Henry A. Schweinhaut ordered the Slate Department on June 1 to is sue the passport and the order was supported by the U. S. Court ot Appeals to the extent of order ing a further departmental hear ing. The State Department duck ed the question by giving Nathan By LYLE C.

Sailor Takes Poke at Admiral PLYMOUTH, England im - A Royal Navy seaman was held today lor taking a poke at an admiral for no apparent reason. The incident occurred yesterday aboard the maintenance ship Ber ry Head as 52-ycar-old Vice Adm. John Eaton was inspecting the crew at fire drill. The admiral staggered back from the unexpected blow and his hat sailed over the side into the sea. A navy statement said: "A rat ing i petty officer) assaulted the admiral and has been detained pending medical examination and investigation." The seaman's name was not dis closed. his traveling papers, although under protest It had denied the passport on grounds that Nathan had been a German Communist in 1933 and since had associated with Reds and their fronts. Nathan denied membership but refused to swear he had not belonged to Commu nist front groups. The department backed up again this month. It reversed a decision that foreign editor Joseph Clark of the Communist newspaper Daily Worker could not travel to cover the Geneva Big Four meeting. And after six years of refusing a passport, the department issued one to Dr. Martin D. Kamen of Washington University, St. Louis, Mo., an atomic scientist formerly accused of Communist affiliations. mis passport had been seized in 1947. Now Comes Paul Robeson Now comes Paul Robeson, Negro singer, demanding a pass- pori du reiusing to swear he is not and never has been a Com munist. The chances of Robeson getting papers for travel in Europe are sugni, although he was auth. onzed Tuesday to keep a recital engagement in Canada., No pass port is required to cross that bor der. The administration's alterna tives are these: 1. Scrap the regulations where under the State Department has kept certain unreliable citizens at home. 2. Select a good case and carry it to the Supreme Court. 3. Appeal to Congress for more specific legislation on the subject. congressmen might hesitate to vote against a bill which provided merely the refusal of a passport to persons reasonably suspected of seeking foreign travel to work against the best interests of the United States.
