Adirondacks find Old Father Knickerbocker suffering one of the
worst and most prolonged heat waves June has ever seen. Which
just shows betting on the weather is just as much a sure thing
as betting on the "Hosses.
If we had not enjoyed nearly three weeks of cool nights and
decently warm days at the Rice Mountain Lodge, the shock would
not have been so great, but when we emerged from the air con
ditioned "Laurentian" into the stifling and completely dead atmos
phere of the nether regions of

close to doing us in. The taxi man did not feel much better, he
had only his undershirt visible but he confided that this sort of
hellish climate was too much for him especially at night, and he
intended to spend a week at Coney Island, mostly in a bathing
suit for the next three days, when according to the Weather Man
the hot spell should end with another high voltage thunderstorm.
Like a cool breeze In this Turkish bath, came the front page

that a conviction and jail sentence on such grounds and under
such circumstances was in direct violation of the first article of
the Bill of Rights, guaranteeing personal freedom. The one dis
senter was Justice Tom Clark, who never should have been ap
pointed to the Supreme Court in the first place.
This decision, as former Vice President Garner used to sav in

ciation witn tne communist party, and his own transgressions, but
refused to name a list of others similarly involved, on the entirely
sound ground that the congressional investigators had a perfect
right to make any ruling they pleased on HIS record, but had no
right, constitutional or otherwise, to force him to be an "informer."
The comment of Senator McClellan, head of the Senate Inves-
i tigaing committee regarding this
J Supreme Court, was characteristic.
"What the United States needs most is a Supreme Court
of lawyers with a reasonable amount of common sense."
By "common sense," it is reasonable to assume, Senator Mc
Clellan means not more lawyers on the Court for there are plenty
as it is, but more lawyers who will take the popular line what
ever it may be regardless of the rights of the individual guaranteed
by the Constitution.
That, of course, is precisely what should NOT be done!
If Chief Justice Earl Warren who wrote this decision should
resign we know one small town newspaper in the country that
would go out 100 for his nomination for the Presidency, and
we wouldn't care on which party ticket. He is the type of courage
ous and enlightened LIBERAL, who puts freedom and the consti
tution above all other considerations, the country needs. More
power to him! R.W.R.
Inspection for Disarmament
Real hope that current disarmament talks in Lon
don will lead to some measure of accomplishment
has risen in world capitals during recent weeks. Posi
tions of the United States and the Soviet Union on
the vital question of aerial and ground inspection have
been drawing closer and closer together. The present
conference may do no more than bring out the area
of agreement that has been reached after more than
a decade of fruitless negotiations, or it may lead to
signing of a formal document on first steps to be
taken in limiting the world's armaments.
During a 'ten-day recess of the London confer
ence, Harold E. Stassen, chief American negotiator,
returned to Washington for consultations with Presi
dent Eisenhower, Secretary of State Dulles, and the
National Security Council. Details of the "flexible
plan" he took back to London have not been disclosed,
but the lines of American thinking have been out
lined to the Russians in private as well as to European
allies of the United States.
TTHE President told a news conference May 22,
while Stassen was in Washington, that this coun
try must not be "recalcitrant" or "picayunish" on
disarmament. "We ought to have an open mind and
make it possible for others, if they are reasonable,
logical men, to meet us half way so we can make
these agreements." The President's remarks were be
lieved to have been prompted by a statement of Adm.
Arthur W. Radford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, that "We cannot trust the Russians on this or
anything else."
Another important meeting held by Stassen while
in Washington was with the disarmament subcom
mittee of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
At that session he sought to prepare the senators
for any shocks that may be involved in a first-step
agreement with the Russians. Such an agreement
would have to be submitted to the Senate in treaty
form and could be defeated by one more than one
third of the senators present and voting.
AT the Geneva summit conference in 1955, President
"Eisenhower astonished the world with his open
skies plan and his suggestion for exchange of mili
tary blueprints. The proposals were at first denounced
by the Russians as a gigantic spying scheme, but they
have since come around to accepting them in prin
ciple. The United States on its part has accepted a
Soviet plan to station mutual inspection teams at im
portant highway and rail centers, seaports, and mili
tary airfields. The purpose would be to give warning
of any concentration of forces that might presage
a surprise attack.
Dulles has repeatedly stressed that an effective
inspection system is the heart of disarmament. The
United States attaches "top priority," he said, to
getting a substantial inspection zone established
wherever it can be got quickly. This country was
w illing to accept such a zone in any part of the world
re the signmcanee
aerial and ground inspection can be tested" in good
faith. E.R.R.

Matter of Fact by
POLITICS AND THE ATOM
Washington All concerned
will, of course, piously swear
that no thought of partisan poli-
t i c al advant
age has enter -
ered anyone s
head, where
the d 1 s arma
ment i s sue is
concerned. But
the fact is that
d i sarmament
in general, and
a moratorium
Stevait Alsop
w e a p ons
tesis in particular, now look like
becoming dominating political
issues. The further fact is that
the Eisenhower administration
is in a bad jam where these is
sues are concerned, and tne
astute Democratic leadership is
thoroughly aware of it.
On Monday, Sen. Mike Mans
field, the respected Democratic
whip, on outlawing the big hyd
rogen weapons. He tied his pro
posal in with a previous pro
posal by Democratic Majority
Leader Lyndon Johnson, for an
"open curtain" exchange be
tween the United States and the
Soviet Union.
No-one who witnessed the de
bate on the Mansfield proposal
could fail to sense its political
overtones, despite the nobly non
partisan attitute adopted by all
the participants. During the
course of the debate, Johnson
rose to say that the Democratic
majority would agree to send
observers to the London dis
armament negotiations, if Secre
tary of State Dulles insisted.
BUT "advisers" should not be
sent Johnson earnestly main
tained, since to do so would
"usurp" the executive function.
Johnson thus neatly side-step
ped Dulles' attempt to force the
Democrats to share responsibility
for whatever Harold Stassen
brings back or fails to bring
back from London.
The next Democratic move
will take place before the dis
armament subcommittee head
ed bv the able Sen. Hubert
Humphrey. Humphrey, expects
to call a series of witnesses be
fore the subcommittee to test
ify on the Soviet proposal for
a two to three year moratorium
on nuclear weapons tests. Where-
ever possible, the hearings will
be open.
Two of the first witnesses to
be called will be Secretary of De
fense Charles Wilson and either
Atomic Energy C o m m issioner
Willard Libby or chairman of
the AEC Lewis Strauss. Wilson
and Libby (or Strauss) will be
asked to explain the flat con
tradiction between recent state
ments by Wilson and Libby.
In a statement before the joint
Cong ressional Atomic Energy
Commission, Libby stated that
development of missiles would
be "crippled bv a cessation of
tests." Libby "s formal statement
was previously cleared with
Strauss, who is viol ently op
posed to any moratorium on
tests. A few days after Libby
had spoken, Wilson said that test
ing of nuclear warheads had "no
thing to do with the perfection
of the delivery system" of mis
siles, and that thus an agreed
ban on tests would not stand in
the way of successful develop
ment of missiles.
TTUMPHREY can be expected
AA to exploit this contradiction
for all it is worth. Moreover,
the contradiction reflects a basic
split in the Administration, be
tween Stassen and his beleaguer
ed supporters, who want to make
a serious attempt to negotiate
with the Soviets, and the Strauss
Radford group, who bitterly op
pose Stassen's view.
This kind of basic split on
matters of high policy in an ad
ministration always gives the
opposition a major political op
portunity. Moreover, the Soviet
proposal for a moratorium places
the Eisenhower adm inistration
in a peculiarly difficult position.
For it was. after all, Adlai
Stevenson in the 1956 campaign
who first proposed a moratorium
on weapons tests, and it was
Dwight D. Eisenhower who
strongly opposed the idea. By
agreeing, ostensibly at least, to
accept technicians within the
Soviet b o r d ers to report any
violation, the Soviets have un
dercut the major argument
BOX Jfc's A R0Q6HHBCK.
Stewart Alsop
against a ban. The experts con
tend that only a handful of detec
tion outposts in Soviet territory
would give foolproof guarantees
against Soviet cheating on the
1 agreement. And it should not be
aimcuit to tind out it tne Sov
iets, for once, really mean what
they say.
VET for the Administration
now to agree to such a con
trolled moratorium would seem
to prove that Stevenson was
right in 1956, and Eisenhower
wrong. Moreover, there is a lot
of evidence, in the Gallup polls
and elsewhere, that an agreed
ban would now be politically
popular. "Adlai was premature,"
one Democratic Senator remark
ed recently, "but now the thing
has really caught on."
Obviously, there are dangers
for the Democrats, as well as
opportunities, in the issue. There
is the danger of seeming to play
the Soviet game, and there is
the danger inherent in the Pres
ident's reputation, both as a lov
er of peace and as an expert in
matters military. Above all,
there is the danger of seeming
to "play politics with the atom."
Yet the issue is almost certain
to become a major political issue
all the same, arid in a democracy,
that is as it should be.

Self-EmpIoyecTs Tax
Relief Being Sought
Washington (CQ) A lobby
ing federation, half a million
members strong, is gathering it
self for an all-out push to get
special tax treatment for the
self-employed.
The federation is called the
American Thrift Assembly. It
claims to be fighting for 10 mil
lion self-employed individuals
rcnging from architects to un
dertakers. It has representatives
from such wealthy pressure
groups as the American Medical
association and National associ
ation of Real Estate Boards sit
ting on its board of directors.
Other national organizations
represened bring ATA's mem
bership base to well over 500,
000. The common denominator
within the American Thrift As
sembly is desire for a law that
would make money the self-employed
pay into private pension
funds tax deductible. Bills to ac
complish this have been intro
duced by Reps. Thomas A. Jen

Keogh (D-N.Y.).

Nasser Almost Alone

United Press Correspondent
President Gamal Abdel Nasser
of Egypt may soon lose his sole
remaining ally in the Arab
world.
Four of Egypt's eight fellow-
members of the
Arab League
are now openly
opposed to his
pro- Russian,
anti - Western
policy and are
pretty solidly
lined up with
the Western
Allies.
Charles McCano Ihree others
are doing nothing to help Nasser
in his steadily developing isola
tion. This leaves only Syria in sup
port of Nasser. And diplomatic
reports from Middle Eastern
capitals say that a political blow
up which would unseat that
country's leftist government may
come at any time.
A challenge to President Shuk
ri el Kuwatly and Premier Sabri
Assali by conservative, pro-Western
politicians and business lead
ers has been increasing in
strength for weeks.
Members Resign
Sixty-two opposition members
of parliament have offered their
resignations in protest against
the government's pro-Nasser pol
icy. It wes the Suez Canal crisis,
which seemed to" be such a big
victory for Nasser, that started
him on the way to isolation.
Nasser's victory, it developed,
hurt the most important of his
fellow-members of the Arab
League.
Revenues of oil-producing
Saudi Arabia and Iraq fell alarm
ingly. Lebanon, Jordan and
Syria suffered economic losses.
This has had a great deal to
do with the challenge to the
Syrian leftist regime.
As has been said frequently,
the visit of King Saud of Saudi
Arabia to President Eisenhower
last January convinced him that
cooperation with the United
States was desirable.
In the Day's News
By FRANK
By FRANK JENKINS
Two recent events have con
spired to place in the hands of
the Kremlin communists a tre
mendously effective propaganda
weapon for use against the Unit
ed States.
One was the shooting by an
American sergeant in Formosa
of a native Peeping Tom. The
other was the shooting by an
American corporal in Japan of
a native woman who was scav
enging scrap-metal on an Amer
ican military reservation. These
unfortunate occurrences have
played into the Kremlin's hands
in two ways:
1. By capitalizing everywhere
the centuries-old, worldwide ha
tred of foreign troops on native
soil.
2. By strengthening in America
the instinctive American feeling
that the thing for us to do is to
get our troops OFF foreign soil
where, except in time of war,
they have no business and
BACK HOME, where American
troops belong.
rriWO questions arise at this
A point:
1. Why do we keep American
military forces on foreign soil?
2. Why are the Russians so
eager to get our troops OFF for
eign soil?
THESE, I think, are the an
swers: ployed persons to sit on each of
these Assemblies.
Right now, the Jenkins-Keogh
bill is at a standstill. It would
cost the Government some tax
revenue so there is little chance
of it sprouting in the economy
climate that has descended on
Washington this year.
The man who will have the
most to say about how to get the
bill moving is F. Joseph ("Jiggs")
Donohue, ATA national chair
man. Donohue, a Washington
lawyer, recently managed an
other ambitious and far-reaching
campaign Sen. Estes Kef
auver's (D-Tenn.) bid for the
Democratic Presidential nomin
ation in 1956.
Donohue Optimistic
Donohue concedes there is not
much chance of getting the bill
moving this year. "But," he
adds, "this year we're concen
trating on educating the public
about the issue. I want the nam
es Jenkins-Keogh as well known,
but in a different way, as Dixon
and Yates."
Donohue says the ATA drive
will build up this summer, and
be unleashed full force in 1958.
The Jenkinr-Keogh bill will stay
alive through the 1958 session.
Donohue says that if the ATA
doesn't see action on its bill by
the 1958 election, it certainly
would be active in supporting
those Congressional candidates j
sympathtic to his cause.

Of FPCs KuykendaJI
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Washington A group of an

their fire full blast on the newly

m i s s ion, Jer
ome K. Kuy
kendall of
O 1 Y m p i a,

The forum
for this critic-
A. Boot smith ism is tne aen
ate Commerce Commmittee
headed by Sen. Warren G. Mag
nuson (D-Wash.), which is con
sedering President Eisenhower's
appointment of Kuykendall to
a new five-year term on the
PFC. All of the Northwest Dem
ocratic senators have lined up
against Kuykendall in an effort
to persuade the Senate to reject
the nomination, thereby ending
Kuykendall's service at the FPC
when his present term expires
June 30.
There are two main focal
points of the firing at Kuyken
dall: 1. The Hells Canyon case
pdvocates of the high federal
dam are smarting over what
they regard as the "polictial de
cision" of the FPC to grant a li
cense to Idaho Power Co. in
stead of recommending that
Congress authorize the high

Senators
Nomination
(he forefront of the fight to put
through Congress a bill exempt
ing natural gas producers from
federal price regulation at the
well head.
Not Perfunctory
Senators who favor the high
Hells Canyon dam or who op
pose the natural gas bill are ex
pected to oppose Kuykendall's
nomination, which means his
confirmation won't be the per
functory thing it usually is.
But the issue in this case goes
well beyond the two instances
mentioned, according to Sen.
Magnuson, who is conducting
the hearings.
Congress originally created the
FPC. Magnuson points out, to
do what had become too great
a burden for Congress itself to
do pass on the acceptability
of utilities that wanted to de
velop public river sites, such as
Hells Canyon. Therefore, the
FPC is not part of the admini
stration but should be independ
ent of it. It is technically an
arm of Congress.
"But the president has the
power to appoint the commis
sioners to the FPC and to these
other independent agencies," ob
served Magnuson, "and what is
happening is that if the commis
sioners don't act like puppets on
the White House string, they get
fired. As soon as a commissioner
starts acting independently, like
Tom Murray, (of the Atomic
Energy Commission) or Joe
Adams (of the Civil Aeronautics
Board) they don't get reappoint
ed." Complaints Cited
The complaint along this line
strikes Kuykendall because Mag
nuson and his Northwest col
leagues are convinced the FPC
chairman has been following the
"partnership" power policy of
the Eisenhower administration,
rather than independent engi
neering judgment in rendering
decisions on utility bids for pow
er dam sites. And a number of
other senators and congressmen
from other regions are sore be
cause Kuykendall sat down with
representatives of the gas indus
try and helped draft a natural
gas bill, at the request of the
White House, and then went to
Congress and recommended that
they pass it.
"We are falling into a condi
tion where the head of a com
mission has become a propa
gandist," declared Senator Pas
tors (D-R.I.). "He should be im
partial." Sen. Richard L. Neuberger
(D-Ore.) kicked off the anti-Kuy-kendall
session by charging
"Kuykendall has permitted the
FPC to be used as the tool of a
political decision which has
wholly destroyed a painstaking,
detailed, integrated, comprehen
sive plan" for development of
the Columbia River by the 308
report. Sen. Wayne Morse charg
ed that Kuykendall has wined,
dined and traveled as guest of
gas and power utilities the FPC
is charged with regulating.
The fact that Sen. Henry M.
Jackson is joining the opposition
means both of Kuykendall s
home state senators are against
his reappointment, which means
he is in for a rough time before
the Senate votes to hire or fire .
him.
