ricnrr mtotord (oszqoki mail tribune Monday, September 19, 195S No Chance Seen For internal Security Penalty Reversal Br LYLE C. WILSON United Presi Correspondent Washington U.R) The In ternal Security act which nu merous groups of civic leaders now seek to outlaw passed Con gress with over whelming sup port, smashed down a presi- d e n t ial veto and became effective Sept. 23. 1950. Ev ery section of the United States contrib uted to the big Lrle C. Wilson House and Senate majorities. There is no chance that Con gress would reverse itself on the penalties established for the pur . pose of curbing" Communist op erations. If the act is to be junked, the Supreme court must junk it. The act was aimed not only at the Communist party but at so-called Communist front organizations, including labor unions, if the latter became infiltrated. The Communist party, whose functioning is considerably ham pered by the act, seeks Supreme court action declaring it to be unconstituitonal. The party has been joined in that petition by 360 civic leaders, as friends of the court, of whom freshman Sen. Pat McNamara (D.-Mich.) is the major political figure. 0 McNamara and his associates hold the act to De in violation of guarantees of freedom of speech and otherwise offensive- ly0unconstiutional. Further, they argue that Communists and Communism in the United States do not constitute a clear and present danger to the Re public warranting the act's vig .orous, measures. Catch-Ail Democratic Bill McNamara is the only con gressional figure among the pe titioners. Congress, itself, . okayed the legislation with such enthusias tic vigor five years ago, as per haps, to persuade members that the measure had support of both depth and area country wide. It was a catch-all Democratic bill. sponsored bv the late Sen. Pat McCarran (Nev.) and Rep. John - S. Wood (Ga.) to which was add d some requirements for regis tration of Communists original ly proposed by Republican Sens. Homer Ferguson (Mich.) and Karl E. Mundt (S.D.). The whole business was some what in response to a special message sent Congress on Aug. 8. 1950, by President Truman. Mr. Truman sought additional safeguards against sabotage and espionage. He warned in that message against action which , would violate the Bill of Rights. He mentioned the effort of "some people" to enact laws "which would seriously damage the right of free speech and which could be used not only gainst subersive groups but against other groups engaged in political or other activities which are not generally popu lar." Threat Caused Concern That language was believed at the time to be directed against the Ferguson - Mundt bill then pending. Mr. Truman's message went up less than two months after the sneak attack in Korea. The threat of Communism at home and abroad was a matter of much concern. Congress was of a mind to do something about it. Mr. Truman vetoed Congress' effort on Sept. 22 in an uncom monly long (5500 words) mess age holding that the omnibus se curity bill was a "terrible mis take." His veto plea gained a handful of votes, but the act survived the Senate by a vote of 57 to 10; the House by 286 to 48. The Supreme court before this has outlawed acts which Congress passed with lopsided majorities. Congress or the ad ministration rarely has failed to find a new and satisfactory ap proach which would survive court inspection or, even, dis courage further adverse opinions. Peron May Be Asked for Resignation To Prevent Further Bloodshed Washington (U.PJ Informed i diplomatic sources here specu lated today that loyalist military leaders in Buenos Aires may soon ask for Argentine President Juan D. Peron's resignation. These sources said Peron's ranking generals may try to seek an armistice with rebel forces to avoid further bloodshed. Observers here believed that unless Peron's goverment forces can win some decisive victories over the rebel forces in short order. Gen. Franklin Lucero, su preme commander of loyalist forces, may ask Peron to resign. They believe Lucero would seek to reach terms with the rebels. Speculation on Peron's pos sible resignation was touched off by the announcement late yester day that the Argentine 2nd Army composed of both army and air force units, is one of Argentine's major army groups. Diplomatic sources said the defection of the 2nd army from Peron's leadership was of the "greatest significance." In rebel hands, this army makes possible the encirclement of Buenos Aires, the Argentine capital, by land and sea forces, Use Mail Tribune Want Ads these sources said. A rebel fleet comprising Argentina's powerful Atlantic squadron has steamed within range of Buenos Aires and threatened to bombard the capital unless Peron steps down. These observers pointed out that with control of the Western Argentine provinces and possibly Cordoba, the rebels are now in a position to march on the capi tal from the west and south. Other key areas reported under rebal control were the southern naval base of Puerto Belgrano and the nearby city of Bahia Blanca. The State Department de clined to make an official com ment on the outbreak in Argen tina. Officially it is ' regarded here as an internal matter in Ar gentina and one not subject to U.S. official concern. Duesseldorf, Germany U.R) The German Society for Bathing today demanded that all new houses be furnished with bath tubs and all old dwellings be re modeled to accommodate tubs as soon as possible. Bathing Society President Ernst Boehm said, "A house without a bath tub is like a person who doesn't own a toothbrush." Men's Garden Club Planned in City Dr. Charles P. Wilson, Mil waukie, Ore., director of the Men's Garden club of America, and Fred Sievers, Washougal, Wash., will be in Medford to morrow to organize a men's gar den club here.
