began staging violent demonstrations, reportedly in re

Bastille Day. French Foreign Legionnaires and Senegalese
riflemen moved into Casablanca's native quarters to
smother new race riots and enforce martial law.

Davy on Box Tops
Some of the titles are rather
interesting. Some will be copy

won't. Paul Lasky and Jack
Liebman came up with a song
titled "Davy Crockett and the
Liberty Bell," which probably
will be accompanied by the ring

Others have broken through
the bonds of song. It was inevit

should invade the somewhat
crowded field of cereals. Most
youngsters won't eat their oats
unles they can put the box on
the kitchen table and look at a

The box tops, doubtless will
be returnable, along with two

Americans To Learn
Of Tighter Grip
On Foreign Travel
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Correspondent -
Washington ttJ.R) Instead of
being over and a big victory for
somebody, the dispute over the
issue of U. S.
passports to
suspected aub
versives is
only beginning
to boil.
A m e r i can
citizens will
learn, as the
1 argument de-j
velopes, that
the United
States long has
had a tighter grip on their for
eign travel than is imposed, for
example, by Canada, Franc or
Britain.
A footnote to that fact, how
ever, is that all French and
British security precautions
against subversion are notably
weaker than in the United
States. Canadian security is
rated good.
Americans also will learn that
Franklin D. Roosevelt is vigor
ously on record in this dispute.
FDR lined up with those who
would deny U.S. passports to un
reliable citizens. He issued an
executive order in the peacetime
year of 1938 expressly authoriz
ing the secretary of state "in his
discretion to refuse to issue a
passport."
Truman on Record
Former President Truman Is
similarly on record and his sec
retary of state, Dean Acheson,
made the stringent regulations
effective through the passport
division which was headed by
the efficient and strong willed
Ruth B. Shipley. Miss Francis
Knight recently succeeded Mrs,
Shipley.
Miss Knight Is cut from the
Shipley pattern, which means
that she will do everything in
her power to prevent issuing a
U.S. passport to any individual
who, on the balance of evidence,
may reasonably be judged to in
tend knowingly to advance the
cause of Communism. .
The secretary of state for SO
years, perhaps always, has exer
cised discretion in the issue of
passports. However, before
World War I it was not necessary
to have a passport to travel
overeas. Now it is. Under the
regulations inherited by Miss
Knight from the Roosevelt and
Truman administrations and as
the Eisenhower administration
wants them enforced. Miss
Knight will keep American
communists and their active
sympathizers at home, so far as
the courts will permit. . ,
Avoid Legal Showdown
The Eisenhower administra
tion avoided a legal showdown
on the issue of a passport for Dr.
Otto Nathan, a German-born
professor at New York Univer
sity and executor of the late Al
bert Einstein's estate. U. S. Dist
rict Judge Henry A. Schwein
haut ordered the State Depart
ment on June 1 to issue the pass
port and tne order was sup
ported by the U.S. Court of Ap
peals to the extent of ordering
a further departmental hearing.
The State Department ducked
the question by giving Nathan
his1, 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 Communist front groups.
The department backed up
again -this month. It reversed a
decision that foreign editor Jo
seph 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. Kameii of Washing
ton University,. St. Louis, Mo.,
an atomic scientist formerly ac
cused of Communist affiliations.
His passport had been seized in
1947. :
Now Comet Paul Robeson ,
Now comes Paul Robeson,
Negro singer, demanding a pass
port but refusing to swear he is
not and never has been a Com
munist. The chances of Robeson
getting papers for travel in Eu
rope are slight, although he was
authorized Tuesday to keep a re
cital engagement in Canada. No
passport is required to cross that
border.
The administration's alterna
tives are these:
1. Scrap the regulations
whereunder the State Depart
ment has kept certain . unbail
able citizens at' borne.
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 pro
vided merely the refusal of a
passport to persons reasonably
suspected of seeking foreign
travel to work against the best
interests of the United States.
