Many Object To
Birch Society's
Surreptitious Means

(Ediilorial Renarch Reports)
Washington When mem
bers of Congress, and finally
the general public, began to
hear about the John Birch So
ciety a few months ago, curi
osity and amazement were
the initial reactions.
Who was John Birch and
' what was his society?
How could anyone believe,
as the leader of this organiza
tion was said to do, that Gen
eral Eisenhower was a Com
munist or that Chief Justice
Warren should be impeached?
As it turned out, belief that
the former President had Red
proclivities was said not to be
shared by many of the follow
ers of the retired candy man
ufacturer, Robert H. W.
Welch, who founded the John
Birch Society. But the rain of
letters descending on Con
gress indicated surprising dis
trust of the Chief Justice. All
this got the society a lot of
publicity.
And it soon came out that
John Birch was a missionary
. p.onmio jhn had been
Alum
murdered by a Communist in
China, and that tne society
bearing his name had been
started over two years ago.
Un Imnnrtant. it aDDeared
that the group had drawn
support from citizens ot pro
minence over the country.
ti Thn nirnli Society is

of the federal income tax and
the social security laws, for
withdrawal of this country
-nrn th TTnited Nations and
NATO, and for termination of
foreign aid.
Atnerlrim wnilld Chal
lenge the right of individuals
to propose any oi mese
things. But many Americans
object to the John Birch So
ciety's seeking-by surreptiti
ous means to shake public
nniiHnnm in sovernment
leaders and to weaken sup
port of policies closediy re
lated to national security
Earlier Societies
Secret societies have flou
rished in America for a long
iima Mmt nf them have been
formed to promote good fel
lowship or to satisfy a xasie
for elaborate ritual. The se
cret societies with political
objectives that crop up peri
odically often are organized
Viv ninl with atronK opin
ions who are too Impatient to
try to get them into eiieci Dy
ordinary political means
Perhaps the earliest secret
Atptv tn mule a bis dent in
American political life was
ik Cnn nf Liberty, orga
nized in colonial times. It agi
tator! for indeoenaence in
httetarnu. WAV that intimi
. dated British officials and
RritUh colonists on
edge. In the mld-1850s the
Nnthinai. really se
cret patriotic society called
the Order oi tne oiar span
gled Banner, gained political
atroncrth hv PYololtinff nti-
Catholic, anti-Immigrant and
aggressively pro-American be
lief. The Kn Klu Klan and
Its famed night riders became
a powerful influence in ine
Smith during Reconstruction
days. When revived after
World War I, the Klan had an
Inglorious career excoriating
Negroes, Catholics and for
eigners.
The decade preceding
WnrlH War II ffavp hirth tn
ostensibly pro-American orga-
niTiitinnR sprrpt.lv ripvntpn tn
the cause of Hitlerism, but
investigators exposed most of
them before Pearl Harbor.
When hot war gave way to
rnlH war. congressional . in
quiries centered on Commu
nist groups. Their activities
were so thoroughly gone into
hv Cnnffrpju and the courts
that not much was left of the
secrecy that once shrouded
Red methods of espionage and
nhvpreinn
Unless a secret society con
spires to overthrow the gov
ernment by force,' unless It
cites to riot, or unless it com
mits anmp nthpr nffpnse
against law and order, there
is little tnat a democratic
government can do about It.
The rights of dissent and free
association are protected by
the Constitution. It doesn't
matter that a secret society
may have ultimate goals ini
mical to the public good.
No other politically moti
vated secret group Is subject
tn cnntmla as sever as those
put on Communist organiza
tions, une internal security
Act of 1950, still in litigation,
requires Communist groups to
register with the Department
oi justice ana to suDmii iun
information about themselves.
Various states have laws re
quiring organizations of other
kinds to disclose membership
rous ana aetaus oi tneir ii-
nancing.
Disclosure laws used to be
uniformly sustained by the
Sunrpme Cnurt. hut the Court
took a new tack in 1958. A de
cision that year relieved the
Motlnnal Assnclatinn for the
Advancement of Colored Peo
ple of having to disclose
names of its members in Ala
hama This rullne. throwing
out an obviously harrassing
regulation, was widely nauea
for the protection it gave to
freedom of association.
On the other hand, some
nprsnns think the lonff-rance

semi-secrecy demands strong

than now exist, strong
